填空题Maguel de Icaza: People, countries as well as companies have benefited from free software by getting complete controls of the software on which they depend. On the other hand, this is helpful for reducing the digital divide between developed and developing countries. People who might never have had access to this sort of technology are the leaders to bring it to the developing world. A fairer future and a more efficient economy are being built on the basis of free software. Austin Hill: The future is waving to you. Your mobile phone tracks where you are, your interactive TV records what are in your eyes. Privacy refers to the information age what environmentalism mentioned the industrial age. By revealing privacy to promote technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation, businesses will not only protect themselves, but their customers as well. Among every industry will be a leading class of privacy protectors, who as well as their customers will harvest the fruit of the ethical privacy brand. Ng Erie Phang: This will be the year when ordinary old text email rises to a high level and starts talking—and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. I couldn't be told by an email whether you're happy, upset or excited, while all these key emotional characteristics will be found in Internet voice services. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships which email just cannot match. Murray Goldman: For the people who live on planes, carrying electronic devices on a trip is a key decision. The future is in the proper combination of communications and computing devices. The full computing power of a personal computer will be the necessity of many business travelers, which needs a screen large enough to do intensive work. Therefore, you can find lightweight notebooks in the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless device capabilities. Christine Karman: We'll lean on some community websites which aim to help people trade goods as well as information exchange. Bold capitalists are in the change from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. That shift is hard to make in Europe, because we don't have a Silicon Valley where a great many companies are conquering the world. As a result, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry may not take root in Europe. If I were establishing a new software company now, I'd rather go to California or Boston. Statements A Business travelers will follow the trend of future computer market. B Europe will keep up with America in the hi-tech industry. C Privacy needs special protection in the information era. D Voice email attaches a human touch to online communication. E Compactness and multi-function will be popular in the future market. F Free software is beneficial to digital equality. G The digital divide between Europe and the US may become wider.

填空题Paragraph 1 A teacher or lecturer recommends a student to read the book which may contain useful information about the topic being studied or it may be invaluable for the ideas or views that puts forward, and so on. In many cases, the teacher doesn't suggest that the whole book should be read. In fact, he may just refer to a few pages which have a direct bearing on the matter being discussed.Paragraph 2 Learners of English usually find that writing is the hardest and the most energy-consuming task. The majority of native speakers of English have to make an effort to write accurately and effectively even on those subjects which they know very well. The non-native learner, then, is trying to do something that the average native speaker often finds difficult himself.Paragraph 3 Students, however, often work out a sentence in their own language and then try to translate it in this way. The result is that very often the reader simply cannot understand what the student has written. The individual words, or odd phrases, may make sense but the sentence as a whole makes nonsense. The student should always try to use sentence patterns which be knows are correct English.Paragraph 4 Many students seem to think that brevity is suspect. It is, on the contrary, a quality which is much admired in English. Most readers understand that a difficult subject can only be written up simple if the writer understands it very well. A student should, therefore, organize all his points very carefully before he starts to write. Paragraph 5 Non-native speakers of English, like their native counterparts, usually find that the opportunity to participate in group discussions is one of the most valuable aspects in their whole academic program. But in order to obtain full value from this type of activity the student must be proficient in asking questions, If he isn't, then any attempt to resolve his difficulties may lead to further confusion, if not considerable embarrassment.　　　　　　　　　　　　Statements A. Why does a student come to the library. B. Taking part in group discussions. C. How to write a correct sentence. D. Reading for a particular purpose. E. You may write one sentence ff you understand it. F. Simplicity-a quality much admired. G. Writing is the most difficult skill.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For questions 61 to 65, match each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. James Belaseo: When the employee causes a problem, help him or her to recognize that. Describe how you feel about the situation and explain possible consequences. You may also suggest other ways for the person to think about the situation. For instance, tell the person how his or her difficult behavior affects other people, such as coworkers or customers. Ken Carlson: Encourage people instead of criticizing them. Praise them and they'll do more things right and discover talents and abilities they never realized they had. Look for opportunities to compliment a person who demonstrates high work standards. Show the person that you understand everyone makes mistakes and that we can learn positive lessons from mistakes. Or even briefly share one of your own mistakes and thereby strengthen trust between you. Jack Carter: Although you've got a lot to do each day, give your first attention to approving and reviewing projects your employees are working on that day. Don't frustrate them by being too busy to OK their work or give direction. Give feedback and share information, ideas and suggestions in a timely manner. Don't hide behind voice mail and closed office door. Make yourself easy to contact in case they need you. Kelly Hodges: Often, it is the little things we do for people (such as letting workers with long commutes leave early on a snowy day, or springing for dinner when overtime is required that determine their loyalty to you). Talk with people who have faced challenge in and outside the workplace. Offer them your encouragement. Ask them what things you can do that support them. Work with them to develop a plan for building more supportive behaviors. Show your employees that you care about them. Make certain every employee knows you are committed to supporting his or her development, both professional and personal developments. Robert Scott: Don't shoot down a suggestion before you've heard it in full. Many of us are too quick or too eager to show off our own experience and knowledge and say that something won't work because "we've tried it before" or "we don't do it that way." Give complete attention to his proposal. Listen carefully and respond with empathy. Seek opportunities to praise and compliment constructive suggestions. Statements A. Don't be overly critical. B. Reward them for their hard work. C. Be available. D. Challenge them with a difficult task. E. Take a personal interest in people. F. Be open to ideas. G. Influence the person's attitude.

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. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. 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Marvin Burnham We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the things you can make from oil! If we don't start thinking ways to face the problem, it will be too late.Catherine Woodstock Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any source of energy. We can do research on solar energy, wind power, wave power, tidal power, hydroelectric schemes etc; otherwise, our fossil fuels will run out, and we'll all freeze or starve to death. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.Michael Parkhurst In the past, we consumed too much energy. If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless everyone realize the seriousness of energy crisis and stop wasting, our resources will not support us for long.Charles Wicks I don't agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we can still rely on the fossil fuels—oil, coal and gas. Researches are going on and new sources of energy will be found in the future. So there is nothing to worry about.Jennifer Hughes Some people think nuclear power is away to solve the problem, but think of the potential danger of it. There is no perfect machine. I mean, why do aeroplanes crash? Machines fail. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable—sooner or later. Huge areas would be evacuated, and they could remain contaminated with radioactivity for years. If it happened in your area, you wouldn't get a penny in compensation. No insurance company covers nuclear risks. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations, too. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. We should take steps to solve the problem.B. Saving the present resources is the most important thing.C. Nuclear power is an ideal alternative.D. We should develop alternative sources of power.E. I'm optimistic about the future of energy.F. Nuclear power is not secure.G. Energy crisis is inevitable.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. Bob Davis: It was so loud that I couldn't hear my own voice. You see, I had a terrible headache. I couldn't sleep at all that night. I just tossed and turned. In the morning I phoned the police, but they said they couldn't do anything about it. Why not? Don't I have a right to peace and quiet inside my own home? I tell you, next time the van comes, I am going to get a hammer and smash its windows.Mr. White: Making a noise isn't a crime, so I can't prevent it. Mr. Davis should complain to the ice-cream company. I'm sure they would agree to turn down the volume a little, for the sake of good public relations. I mean, if he starts smashing windows, I'll have to arrest him, however much I sympathize with you.Mr. Bolton: Of course we have to make a noise. If we didn't, the kids wouldn't know we were there, would you? And then they wouldn't get their ice-creams. I mean, we have to make a living, don't we? Besides, everyone knows our jingle and they love it. It is one of the most popular sounds in town. If Mr. Davis doesn't like it, he can just close his windows.Mrs. Green: There are plenty of ice-cream shops in town. Anyone who wants to buy an ice-cream can go and buy one from the shop. Why should we all put up with that terrible noise just so a few people can buy their ice-creams without going to the shop? I mean, what would happen if I sold my fruit the same way? Or all the other shopkeepers? The noise would be unbearable, wouldn't it? We would all go deaf, wouldn't we? It seems to me the ice-cream company is making money at everyone else's expense.Mr. Croft: We're following a very old tradition. For thousands of years merchants in this city have identified themselves with individual sounds: bells, whistles, shouts and so on. We've chosen a nice tune which children can remember. Our jingle is one of many natural neighbor hood sounds. For example: church bells, school singing, cheering at football matches and so on. Well, it isn't noisy and it's not unpleasant. If making a noise were a crime, then car horns, washing machines and road drills would all be forbidden. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] The ice-cream van should stop making such noise and the ice-cream company is making money at everyone else's expense.[B] A policeman can't arrest those who make a noise, but he will arrest those if they start smashing the windows of the ice-cream van.[C] Some people perhaps get used to the noise around them but a lot of people can't and don't.[D] I can't stand the noise and I have a right to peace and quiet inside my own home?[E] Very loud noises can cause brain damage and nervous diseases.[F] I have to play a jingle to attract the children's attention, I mean, we have to make a living.[G] Using a familiar sound to attract customers is an old tradition, and I don't agree that the jingle the company has chosen is noisy and unpleasant.

填空题Peter: The future will not determine itself; The future is determined by the actions of the present days. The responsibility we have for the future 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. Simon: 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 can be measured through the scalp (头皮 ). Bosses could measure brain activity and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly. Alan: In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical gelatin (胶原蛋白) in the brain is said to increase your desire for fat, when it is stimulated. This means that disturbances (失调) of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Green presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat-rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of galatin. Nick: In the future our life will change greatly. It is quite certain that computers will play an important role in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his note books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you if you act in a certain way. Julle: In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose (诊断) and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pulls 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 using more exercise as a mean to keep well. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note:there are two extra statements. Statements A. You build your own future. B. Healthy lifestyles will be a more popular way. C. Computer will be an effective tool for doctors. D. Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or overweight. 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Evans, Caradoc:It is a substance that is essential to all known forms of life in its pure form. Water is abundant on Earth. It exists in many places and forms. It appears mostly in the oceans and polar ice caps, but also as clouds, rain water, rivers, freshwater aquifers, and sea ice. On the planet, water is continuously moving through the cycle involving evaporation, precipitation, and runoff to the sea.David John: Water fit for human consumption is called potable water. This natural resource is becoming scarcer in certain places as human population in those places increases, and its availability is a major social and economic concern. Drinking water is water that is intended to be drunk by humans. Water of sufficient quality to serve as drinking water is called potable water whether it is used as such or not. Although most fresh water sources are drinkable by humans, they can be a disease vector or cause long-term health problems if they do not meet certain water quality guidelines.Strong, Alex: Most nations have water quality regulations for water sold as drinking water, although these are often not strictly enforced outside of the developed world. Virtually all municipal water systems deliver a single quality of water, whether it is to be used for drinking, washing or landscape irrigation. In the United States, public drinking water is ruled by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Among other provisions, it protects the right of employees to report potential violence. Within 30 days of any retaliation, a whistleblower can file a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).Garland, Judy: So far as bacterial is concerned, the usual test is for a count of (more often than not harmless) bacteria, it being assumed that these serve as an indication of water pollution. Water purification is the removal of contaminants from raw water to produce drinking water that is pure enough for humans. Many contaminants can be dangerous-but depending on the quality standards, others are removed to improve the water's smell, taste, and appearance.Vincent,J. W.: It is not possible to tell whether water is safe to drink just by looking at it. Simple procedures such as boiling are not sufficient for treating water from an unknown source. Even natural spring water-considered safe for all practical purposes in the 1800's--must now be tested before determining what kind of treatment is needed. Now match each of the experts (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. Not all water is suitable for people to drink; only a small proportion is.B. Bottled water may not be a good choice for people to drink.C. Regulations for drinkable water vary from country to country.D. Pollution is a big threat to the safety of drinkable water.E. Water should be processed before they could be consumed by human.F. This is the basic knowledge you need to know about water.G. Criteria for safe water change with tim

填空题As any woman can prove, there are some things at which her gender naturally excels. In the past decade, academic research has offered insight into the feminine advantage:Part Ⅰ Verbal superiority may continue from childhood to adulthood. Studies show that women excel at certain verbal-fluency tests, such as listing multiple words that begin with the same letter. Some researchers have also found that women are more adept at learning foreign languages than men are.Part Ⅱ According to psychologist Doreen Kimura of the University of Western Ontario, women outperform men on "precision manual tasks." In studies involving quick, accurate, small movements, and a pegboard test (in which subjects place small pegs into holes as quickly as they can), women outdo men.Part Ⅲ In one study of 1955, Richard L. Doty, in the University of Pennsylvania Smell and Taste Center, asked randomly selected sniffers to identify scents. He found that, on average, women outperformed men. Women also have lower odor "thresholds", meaning they can detect fainter odors than men can. Women do better than men on hearing tests, too. And their hearing deteriorates less rapidly than men's over time, according to Mary Anne Baker, a psychology professor at Indiana University Southeast.Part Ⅳ Women interrupt less, are more likely to be complimentary, and laugh at other people's jokes more. And women even disagree agreeably, as in "That's a good point, but —" In numerous studies, women also read nonverbal cues—facial expressions, body movements, and changes in tone of voice—more accurately than men do, according to Hall. Women's faces are generally more expressive than men's, too, says Hall.Part Ⅴ As more women rise to upper management, researchers have examined differences in how men and women lead. Women tend to share power, encourage participation, and boost their employees' sense of self-worth. Many of the women believe subordinates perform best when they feel good about themselves, and women tend to foster that feeling. Insignificant contrast, their male counterparts exercise more formal authority and care more about hierarchy, Rosenerfound. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] Born to lead.[B] Super Senses.[C] Handy Women.[D] Social Communication.[E] Attentive Character.[F] Habit of thrift.[G] The Language Gap.

填空题Hadley: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, and then you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people. might be passive smokers without realizing it. Randy: Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It is almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it. Sampson: The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense! Rowley: Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the dis ease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether. Bernice: Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than a cup of coffee. It is so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us. Statements A. Smoking brings many psychological benefits. B. Tobacco is an important source of income to the government. C. Smoking is sure to cause diseases. D. It's a short sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money. E. The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful. F. The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking. G. It's doubtful whether there is link between smoking and cancer.
