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. 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 Searle, William: If you're middle-aged and your memory's not what it used to be, check the bathroom scale, researchers warned, suggesting overweight people tend to score more poorly on tests of memory than their thinner peers do. The study compared mental abilities to body mass index (BMI), a measurement of weight in relation to height used to define overweight. A BMI of 25 or more indicates overweight, and 30 or more is obese. The study found a higher BMI was associated with lower cognitive test scores.Cranmer, Thomas: Volunteers were told to memorize pairs of words. When they were tested straight afterwards and six hours later, those who had been allowed a nap of up to one hour before the retest achieved 15 percent higher scores than the volunteers who had not been allowed to go to sleep. They added that it now seemed that sleep was "an important mechanism for memory formation".Bata, Thomas John: Sixty-eight patients at two Austrian hospitals were randomly assigned either a treatment program that included exercise or one that only used nicotine replacement therapy. After three months, 80 percent of those who exercised had quit smoking, while 52 percent of those in the group that did not exercise had quitted. And those who exercised were more likely to reduce their cigarette smoking if they did not quit, the study found.Tyrrell, George: Researchers followed 68,183 middle-aged women for 16 years and found that those who slept 5 hours or less per night were one third more likely to gain weight than those who slept for 7 hours. Moreover, researchers found that the weight gain was substantial with some women even gaining 33 pounds or more.Attucks, Crispus: Patients who have abdominal surgery often suffer from pains, vomiting and abdominal swelling, and they may not be able to tolerate food or even water. Seventeen of 34 patients who chewed gum beginning a few hours after surgery passed gas several hours sooner than the half who did not chew and they had their first bowel movements an average of 63 hours after surgery compared with 89 hours for non-chewers. Now match each of the researchers (61 to 65) to the appropriate studies. Note: there are two extra statements.A. A brief nap could boost people's memory.B. Riding bicycles proved to the best way for weight-loss.C. A heavier weight in middle age may increase memory loss.D. Gum chewing helps bowels after surgery.E. Exercise helps smokers quit.F. Chewing gum might harm the digestive system.G. Study links lack of snooze to weight gain in women.

填空题Ardith Smiths

填空题The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered. A voice says quickly, "Hello, will you hold, please?" 1 It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line—that is, if you don"t hang up first. Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary"s work. The first impression that a client receives about a business is very often through a telephone contact. A caller who is left hanging on "hold" will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored. 2 And if the call is not routed directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the "runaround". 3 As a good office secretary, Judy knows that all phone calls must be answered promptly and handled efficiently. 4 She knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper. If she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information. Finally, she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to "screen" telephone calls and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself. 5 For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully, and efficiently is a valuable asset to any organization. A. But sometimes she may be treated rudely by the clients. B. If a call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry. C. She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in. D. The importance of handing telephone calls is the first lesson of secretary. E. A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with. F. Judy Miller is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company. G. Then there is another click, followed by silence.

填空题Linda: Linda was born in the 1960s. Her mother always accompanied her. There was never a day that Linda did not come back home and find her mother waiting for her. Her mother was involved with the parents' organization at school and was her Girl Scout leader. Though the family was not better-off financially, Linda always wore beautiful dresses. Her mother was an excellent dressmaker. Sophie: Sophie is 31 years old and has worked for a publishing company for several years. A vacancy for a presidential position has just opened. Sophie is one of the five people applying for this position. The other four applicants are all men that have been at the company approximately as long as she has. Sophie has applied for promotions before but she has been passed over each time by male candidates. Sophie feels she has been discriminated against just because she is a female. She feels motherhood is viewed by the company as a negative factor in job promotion. Jenny: Jenny is 34 years old. She is a single mother of two children. Jenny finds herself staying up late so as to do the washing or housecleaning. She also spends many evenings finishing reports that can't be done at work. Jenny takes her double role as mother and employee seriously. She does the housework on her own, and hates to burden her secretary with extra work. Therefore she does a lot of it by herself. She feels that she must do everything to everybody she comes in contact with. Monica: Jenny' s friend Monica is 29 years old. She raises three children alone. She has limited her volunteering on committees. The one activity that she does get involved in is the annual Book Sale at school. Her children help do the housework at home. She has created a rotation system in order that they can all learn how to wash, clean and cook. Cindy: Cindy married when she was 23 years old. Cindy met her husband at a pub. He was much older than her, about 40 years old. Cindy was anxious to get married. She had been dating continuously but never seriously. They never really fought but a silence ran through their marriage. Her children made Cindy come to life. Her husband was content to sit at home, watching TV. The marriage seemed to just extinguish itself. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A She likes doing everything on her own. B Her marriage life is far from satisfaction. C It's never too old to learn from her. D Her marriage life is far from satisfaction. E She feels she suffers from the sex discrimination. F She believes that her children should help her with the housework. G She had an excellent mother.

填空题Jimmie Moore: Jimmie Moore is a singer, songwriter and poet from Houston, Texas. He calls himself "JMetro". JMetro likes the opportunities new technologies give him and other artists. Although he believes intellectual property laws will protect his music, he says those technologies can also hurt artists. "I saw that under the current system artists are not being fairly compensated. So, it makes it difficult to continue to be able to fund our creativity. But, ultimately, it is great to have the exposure. Michelle Woods: Michelle Woods directs the copyright division of the World Intellectual Property Organization. She says international copyright law agreements have been changed to deal with the digitization of music. She says singers and musicians should be able to earn money when their digitized songs and music are played. Alexandre Lombard: Alexandre Lombard listens to music online. He says young people do not want to pay to listen to digitized songs. "We have the opportunity to access almost every piece of music that ever existed. For my generation, music has always been available for free. Some way or another you could access free music on the Internet." Chris Ancliff: Chris Ancliff is a top international lawyer at Warner Music Group, one of the largest record companies in the world. He says experts have often predicted the music business would soon die, but it has always survived. "The recording music business has invested something like $20 billion in new artists over the last five years alone. So, we still think of ourselves as being a strong and healthy business. Now clearly we are not as strong and as big as perhaps we were 10 years ago. The easy availability of free illegal music on the Internet has played a very big part in that." Didier Awadi: Didier Awadi is a rapper from Senegal. He says African governments must create legal systems that will protect artists" rights. "And so, what we want to do is see to it that all of our countries we can strike deals that are fair, that are equitable. We"re connected to the world. Let us make sure that the legal framework is there so that we can lead a decent life from our creations, as is the case elsewhere in the world." Now match each name (1-5) to the appropriate statements. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Artists will earn more money in the future. B. The music business suffers a lot because of its the free illegal spreading way. C. The intellectual property laws fail to fight for artists" rights. D. The digitizing music do more good than bad. E. The government should make laws protect artists" rights. F. It is OK that young people take free music for granted. G. The music business will die eventually.

填空题Jennifer: 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. Kac: 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! Soscia: 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. Harno: 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. Macland: 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. 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.

填空题Houson: Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It" s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain qualities to make it a success, such as responsibility and a sense of humor. If partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained. Wendy: One thing I think that is important to successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me want to do things for him because of his generous nature. I know there are many times he would rather be reading, relaxing, or working on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him. Catherine: My husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thought. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don"t have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset, he tells me about it. Things like that are easier to deal with when they"re out in the open than when they"re kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship. Arlene: I feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter how earnestly the former spouses try to "keep in touch", no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot. Rolly: The very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete. Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work. B. Becoming a person of independence and pride leads to successful marriage. C. Being able to communicate makes our marriage happy. D. Life for divorced people will be incomplete. E. Marriage is the result of extended love. F. Divorce results from a lack of responsibility. G. More efforts from the couple can keep marriage a success.

填空题Patrick Kelly: Just think what would happen in this city if everyone who usually drives a car decided to use mass transportation and appeared on the nearest street corner. The city would have to provide almost 4,000 additional sixty passenger buses to carry these people to their jobs. When the city is ready to promise the citizens that these buses will be there, at that corner, at that time, and take them to where they are going on time, then we will be ready to discuss limitations on the use of automobiles. Joseph Award We are wasting our time and good money by asking scientists to solve the problem of air pollution. They are blaming cars and motorists. Nonsense! It is the smoke from factories that is ruining our air. I believe that these so-called scientists should try working in a factory from midnight to 8 a. m., and maybe they would discover something that would surprise them. If the scientists could use their knowledge to direct the winds in such a way as to send this factory smoke out to sea forever, then we would be able to solve the problem of air pollution. Joseph Barnes: Car owners, be warned! Storm clouds are gathering. All clear-thinking individuals want the air they breathe to be as pure as possible. This is only natural. But to place the entire blame on the automobile is unfair. Trucks and buses and airplanes are worse polluters than the average well-kept automobile. But the individual car owner has no power to protect himself against government control. Unlike the airplanes, and truck and bus companies the motorist has no influence, so once again the individual citizen cannot defend his right against government control. Melvin a Dennison: What right do these men have to tell us when and where we can drive? Are they going to pay us for the time we lose getting to work when the subway breaks down? Many times I was late for work, or stood freezing on a street corner waiting for a bus that was too full to take me when it finally arrived Are they also going to have police in all the subway stations at all hours to protect people who use public transportation? I have had three bad experiences in subway stations coming home from work late. That was when my husband and I decided that I should have a car. I bought one, and now they're going to try to tell me I can't drive it! Edward Rios: What can we do to reduce air pollution? For one thing, we can forget our love affair with the automobile and find other means of transportation which may not be quite as convenient as the auto but would be less expensive and less harmful to the environment. We may learn to like it once we try it. It may encourage the development of more satisfactory high-speed mass transportation systems, too. Now match each person (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements[A] It is the government's responsibility to clean up the air.[B] The public transportation is neither convenient nor safe.[C] It is fun to use a good public transportation system.[D] Factory smoke is the main cause of pollution.[E] The city doesn't have the ability to move its people around.[F] It is necessary to make car owners aware of the pollution.[G] I am in favor of developing a better transportation.

填空题Thomas Elliott

填空题Timothy Constance： What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career,but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive．So it doesn't seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high—achieving men． Grise Levison ： I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk． Marry Brown ： In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past．Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men．However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men"out there"who would be attracted to smart women．The problem was finding them． Donna Smith： I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children， but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals．I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order． Elizabedl Budy ： I think that people who have done at least sonle of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It's also true that they're likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more moneyin them． Note：there are two extra statements.． Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage．[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage．[C] How to balance career with family is key to Success．[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul．[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn't a piece of cake．[F] Career Success ensures a solid marriage．[G] Social assistance is needed for today's single Women．

填空题Paragraph 1

填空题Marian: I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She's found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home. Catherine: I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way. Roger: A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn't mean you're excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks! Briggs: I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there. Bill: You're forgetting the most important point—it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dross code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code—start your own business. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] We shall not be moved.[B] Money means freedom.[C] Photos taking are pleasant.[D] There are people who are so careless about dressing.[E] Action speaks louder than words.[F] It is our society that must be blamed.[G] You should wear appropriately where you are.

填空题Paragraph 1: Japanese managers believe that change and initiative within an organization should come from those closest to the problem. So they elicit change from below. Top-level Japanese managers see their task as creating an atmosphere in which subordinates are motivated to seek better solutions. Paragraph 2: Japanese managers do not view themselves as having all the answers. When a subordinate brings in a proposal, the manager neither accepts nor rejects it. Rather, he tactfully, politely asks questions, makes suggestions, and provides encouragement. Paragraph 3: In the Japanese system, junior(middle. managers are initiators who perceive problems and formulate tentative solutions in coordination with others; they are not functional specialists who carry out their boss's directives. Because so much emphasis is placed on coordination and integration, solutions to problems evolve more slowly, but they are known and understood by all those who have been a part of the solution generation process. Horizontal communication is stressed as essential to the coordination of problem-solving efforts. Paragraph 4: The Japanese are less inclined to think in terms of absolutes, that is, the solution (which is right) versus the alternatives (which are wrong.. Rather, they recognize a range of alternatives, several of which might work and all of which possess advantages and disadvantages. When a group makes a decision, all members become committed to the chosen solution. From a Japanese perspective, that commitment, and the ensuing dedication toward working to make the solution successful, is probably more important than the objective quality of the decision. The Japanese have an interesting concept of consensus. Those who consent to a decision are not necessarily endorsing it. Rather, consent means that each person is satisfied that his point of view has been fairly heard, and although he or she may not wholly agree that the decision is the best one ,he or she is willing to go along with it and even support it. Paragraph 5: Japanese managers have a kind of paternalistic attitude toward their employees. Traditionally, Japanese organizations have offered their workers housing, extensive recreational facilities, and life- time employment. The Japanese believe that it is impossible to divorce a worker's personal and professional lives. Good managers express concern for workers as persons with homes and families as well as for the quality of products the workers produce. Managers work alongside their subordinates, counsel them regarding their personal lives, and encourage much peer interaction. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note :there are two extra statements. Statements A. Consensus as a way of making decisionsB. Top management as facilitatorC. Bottom-up changeD. Top-down initiativeE. Middle management as impetus for and shaper of solutionsF. Concern for employees' personal well-beingG. Likely to think in terms of extremes
