填空题 {{B}}Jennifer:{{/B}} The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don't be as silly as them. {{B}}Kac: {{/B}} Spring just hits here, too. It's so nice—windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It's tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I'll go camping soon! {{B}}Soscia: {{/B}} In the city you don't have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer's heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads.{{B}} Harno: {{/B}} Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread—I don't know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming.{{B}} Macland: {{/B}} It's been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November…In February it's like a warm period that's been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive (生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they'll be gone in a few days. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Statements [A] Future is bright. [B] Man conquers nature. [C] We can see the effect of the pollution on the climate. [D] Human beings have to struggle hard against weather. [E] The call of nature is there. [F] He hates spring. [G] Sometimes we worry too much about nothing. Note: there are two extra statements.

填空题Linda My husband weighed 275 pounds. He used to skip breakfast, and he didn"t eat all that much for dinner. So I once wondered why he was getting so big. Then I found out he was stopping to buy a dozen chocolate-covered doughnuts each morning. And you know how I found out? He was eating them while driving, so he wouldn"t have to share them at work. While chasing one that roiled across the front seat, he ran into a telephone pole. Emily Two years ago, I knew my husband"s health was at risk because of all the weight he had picked up since we"d been married. But he wasn"t doing anything about it. Then I went to a doctor"s office and I followed his advice and started talking about food to my husband-what was good, what was bad-as if it was a new discovery. I didn"t lecture my husband about the evils of being overweight, didn"t try to threaten him by saying if he didn"t lose weight his blood pressure could shoot sky-high and he might have a heart attack. Instead, I talked about how well he"d look in new clothes, how he" d probably do better on the job (he was a salesman), to ask questions. After a few months, he"d lost 20 pounds. John I once kept a list of everything I ate one week, just to show my wife was wrong about where I was picking up extra pounds. When I studied my list, I wondered how I found time to do any work, I was eating so much. There"s nothing like seeing it in black and white to prove you"re wrong. Jane Scott When I found my husband had weight problem, I was determined to take some measures. I made sure I needed something from the store three mornings a week, and then I told my husband I didn"t want to walk there alone-it was about a quarter of a mile each way-and I"d always insist on walking. He breathed hard at first, but gradually got used to it, and we started making a circle around the neighborhood at night, too, with the dog. That was three years ago, and now I can"t keep him still. The walking got him used to using his body again, and he was happy to find it still worked pretty well. Ted Men tend to think less about the costs of excess pounds than women do. Men often seem blind to the possibility that a beer belly is causing them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their careers and killing them before their time. Also, many men feel self-conscious going to a diet center-especially if most of the group is female. Diets are perceived to be of women"s concern, or an admission of weakness. There are even men who would rather blow up like a blimp before they admit to other men-or themselves-that they need to lose weight. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. The heavier, the merrier. B. Some form of physical exercise has to play a part in men"s weight-loss program. C. Attention should be paid to eating patterns. D. Men"s attitudes are quite different from women"s. E. Gaining weight has nothing to do with health. F. Your educational role sometimes has to be more subtle. G. Facts are indisputable.

填空题Greg Louganis: These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers' lives if I have spilled blood in the pool. For what I knew—that few others knew—was that I was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving professionally after the Olympics. Margaret Chan: It is reported that almost three million people in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot underestimate the power of prevention. Paula Green: The disease robs the body of its natural defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV drugs are in Africa. The drugs help patients live longer without developing AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it. Raymond Chow: Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past. William Wang: Huge barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and die within months. What's more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing world. Statements A. Some HIV-positive patients don't cooperate with doctors. B. AID patient's blood may be dangerous to other people's lives. C. People are scared of AIDS. D. Treatment is more urgent than prevention. E. Many people can't get HIV drugs because of poverty. F. More people get HIV treatment, but even more get infected. G. HIV drugs should be cheaper.

填空题 Paul Smith: Hello, everyone. Today let's talk about study performance. Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence that you will never become a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. In my opinion, our concentration on studies is of most importance to us. Concentrating on our studies, everyone is likely to be a top student without additional work. Now it's for each of you to discuss how we manage it. Carol: From my personal experience, the planning of time is of the greatest importance. We must make a list of our weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of the time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Good planning will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you t9 plan your activities so that you have ad equate time for both work and play. Siemon: As to me, it is important to develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. So don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let us know that we need to spend more time studying, and they help make our new knowledge permanent. Laura: I do think that study place is critical in our study. A good study area is supposed to improve our study efficiency. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. Davis: I think regularity matters a lot. In class, we should listen carefully to what the teacher says, go over the notes as soon as possible after class and review important points mentioned in class as well as those we remain confused about. This will help us understand the class better. If we review the notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] To ensure your study efficiency, you should choose a good study area.[B] If you set your mind on your studies, you'll become a top one.[C] Regularity plays nothing more than anything in studies.[D] Regularity plays an critical role in our studies.[E] Your school performance depends on your study habits.[F] We should develop a good attitude towards tests.[G] It's important to have a good planning of our school time

填空题Brian Arthur

填空题Liu: To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it's the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society. Liang: Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity (实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny (保姆) to lend me a hand. Yao: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. Wang: Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman's value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. Zhao: Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. Statements A. My child is the focus of my life. B. Family and work are both important for women. C. Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties. D. I would give up the whole world for my work. E. Women need work to prove their own value. F. Women are born to be mothers. G. Women understand child better than men.

填空题Mr. Zhao: Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate. We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. What I ' m looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple, understandable language. I' m also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them. If they do have good communication skills, they will be able to do this logically and briefly.Mr. Qian: I'm looking for creativity. I will ask some odd questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations-can they be creative with their answers.'? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problem - solving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them.Mr. Sun: What we look for most are personal qualities—assertiveness, ambition, and a competitive instinct. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume. How they present their experiences is often very informative. All of these things describe the person in someway.Mr. Li: Speaking of personal quality, I'm looking for a person of integrity. He should be loyal and honest even when things are not in his favor. He will not blame others for his mistakes, even when he might avoid trouble by doing so. A person of integrity will never sacrifice friends or the interests of the company. Of course, it' s not so easy to tell one' s uprightness from one interview, but I can get some hint from the experiences he presented. To be frank, I don' t generally like to hire a person who jumps from job to job every one or two years.Mr. Wang: Under similar working and educational background, a person with good manners will be preferred. Good manners can be judged from his dress and the way he talks. For example, wearing a gray or blue suit and a nice red or yellow silk tie with blue dots or possibly a stripe. This is the way people want you to look in business. Besides, one' s hairstyle, beards, and shoes can also give way something. During interview, a person who keeps establishing eye contact with the interviewer and smiling not only shows he is confident but he is a man of good manners. Now match each of' the schools to the appropriate statement. Note. there are two extra statements.[A] From their response to my odd and tough questions, I can tell whether they' re creative enough.[B] The candidates who showed their strong desire for the job will most probably be employed.[C] A person who can express his ideas clearly shows his good communicative skill.[D] Proper wearing and decent manners will leave a good impression on the interviewers.[E] The interviewer' s application and resume can provide some information about their personal qualities.[F] Loyalty and honesty are valuable virtues I seek in a candidate.[G] A person with high professional skill is preferred.

填空题 Paula: The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-rare begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future--that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do. Mrs. John: The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured through the scalp(头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly. Mary: In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin. Judy: In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play an important part in our fife. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will en- able you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you ff you act in a certain way. Carrie: In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to keep well. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements [A] You build your own future.[B] Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit.[C] Computer will be an effective tool for doctors.[D] Doctors may not need pills for bean troubles or over- weight[E] Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.[F] People will be able to visit doctors more frequently.[G] Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.

填空题Mary Taylor: My father looked at me disapprovingly when I talked to him about ideas that he didn't agree with. He would often interrupt me in the middle of a sentence to tell me I was wrong. As a result of the childhood experience, I had difficulty concentrating when anyone in authority talked to me. I would concentrate on how I was coming across to the other person, not on what the person was saying. Chris More: My father used to frown when concentrating on something. I thought he was angry or upset with me until I later found out that he was only thinking about what he was doing. I certainly experienced some anxiety until I found this out. When I started conducting seminars, I discovered that I frowned a lot while concentrating on what the talker was saying, and the attendees thought I was being critical of them. Janet Smith: I constantly tuned others out while they were talking and I couldn't seem to break this habit. It upset me because I was having trouble at work listening to directions and paying attention during meetings. As it happened, my mother had been a nonstop talker who ignored my needs. To keep my own sanity, I had learned to shut her out of my consciousness. I became so good at tuning her out that I generalized this behavior—tuning other people out as well. Lydian Mason: I often feel victim in my interactions with my boss. I think he is the persecutor and I'm the victim. For example, late Thursday afternoon, my boss gave me a twenty-page project with graphs and numerical tables to type and finish by Monday at 10 a.m. I didn't listen to the time he stated when he handed me the project. Instead, I was busy figuring out how I was going to get it done and finish the other work I had on my desk. Jack Candison: When I am with a group of people who are interested in the subject I am covering and are receptive to me, they are open to more material and ideas. The more important the subject is to them the more listening involvement they get into. In other words, the more relevant my material is to their personal or professional goals, the more they listen to what I have to say and the less they tune me out. Statements A. It's hard for me to change my bad habit of not listening to others. B. The heavy workload worried me so much. C. Concentration, like other skills, takes practice. D. I gave people the impression that I'm being picky. E. My boss listens to me carefully. F. My father used to ignore me. G. People are likely to listen more attentively while the subject is of interest to them.

填空题John Harvey: In fact if you go out to a restaurant it's very difficult to find "British" cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying "Newdishes". I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food.Jo Baker: I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasting in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that's just part of the enjoyment of traveling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food.Gabby Macadam: On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but at thought of thinking dozens of foreign dishes, I simply can't stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce.Len Dangerfield: When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when I'm abroad I always miss our home cooking. I mean, I'm used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, it's always difficult to get used to god in other countries.Peter Hawke: I like foreign food. I particularly like Indian food. Well, I'm married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. I'm lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and more spicy than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips, are quite well known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as I'm concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients may be very much the same.[B] I can't stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I' m not so sure that I'm fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind of sauce.[C] I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day I still prefer home cooking.[D] I always miss English food when I'm abroad.[E] We are becoming more and more cosmopolitan in our eating habits.[F] I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from its food.[G] English people should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make their food tastier and more varied.

填空题 {{B}}Hugh Pendy:{{/B}} We are facing a serious energy crisis. All known reserves of coal, oil and gas will be exhausted within ten years. It is urgent and imperative that we develop new sources of energy immediately. Nuclear power is the answer to our problems. If we don't build nuclear power stations now, our civilization will collapse. The Government has decided to build a nuclear power station to solve the energy problem we are facing. I am for this wise decision.{{B}}Maureen Preston:{{/B}} We can't allow this power station to be built. It would cause terrible damage to the environment and all living creatures in the district would be in great danger. A small leak would cause a disaster. It's our duty as responsible citizens to force the Government to abandon their unclear energy program. I used to believe nuclear power station were safe. But last month I read a newspaper report that there were at least five major leaks in the last two years in other stations. In each case, the alarm systems failed and there could have been a disaster. Scientists have too much faith in their own ideas. It's time the truth was told that nuclear power stations are very dangerous.{{B}}Peter Epstein:{{/B}} This power station will be absolutely safe. There will be no danger of leakage because the reactor will be housed in a concrete box with walls six meters thick. Five independent alarm systems will monitor every square centimeter of the power station to prevent fire or sabotage. People are afraid of nuclear power because they don't understand it. We must educate them. Nuclear power is clean, quiet, cheap, and pollution-free, unlike conventional power using gas, oil and coal. Furthermore it is almost unlimited.{{B}}William Mclean:{{/B}} The Government is placing far too much emphasis on nuclear power. It will take many more years of experimentation before the safety problem alone is overcome. In the meantime, we should develop other ways of taking energy from the earth, such as sunshine, or wind or tide, waves, rivers ,hot springs, etc, etc. They are cheaper, safer and more convenient than nuclear power. Scientists could do more in exploiting how to make use of these things in nature and benefit human beings.{{B}}Jack Robin:{{/B}} I am not worried about the energy crisis. My house is heated by solar energy; my electricity is supplied by a windmill in my garden; and I go to work by bicycle. If everybody followed my example, there would not be any energy crisis. People are so wasteful. Do they really need big cars, central heating systems and millions of electronic gadgets? I doubt it. We live a far more unhealthy life than before. People are getting lazier and lazier. Many people suffer from overeating and lack of physical exercises. We should make good use of the development of science and technology and shouldn't let the machine getting control.{{B}} Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.
