填空题1. The film is not without its drawbacks. Disappointment, failure, self doubt, regrets over opportunities, missed or misused these are always the lot of the person in motion, which is why we must never forget the natural human bond that holds us all together and puts each grief into a common store of experience. For those in motion, these grieves are the inevitable consequence of ambition, particularly in a competitive society such as ours. 2. Many of us today are rather ambivalent about the virtues of a competitive society, particularly one that celebrates material success and celebrity status. In view of these questionable virtues, we have tried to substitute security and reassurance for the loss of self esteem that comes from not getting an A, not getting a promotion, not getting a Mercedes or a Porsche, not getting an appearance on the Johnny Carson show. As a result, I am tempted to assuage your disappointment by changing your grade, thereby brightening your life at least temporarily. 3. Such a change, I'm afraid, might do far more harm than good in the long run. In my experience, unmerited approval carries with it the risk of seriously distorting a young person's perception of reality: seeing the world as a far more benign place than it actually is, and seeing the self as more able, more competent, than is truly the case. This kind of distortion can be very crippling for the person in motion, giving a false picture of accomplishment that makes the inevitable jolts later on bruising and injurious. 4. I know your B comes as a jolt. Not enough to make you break your stride, I hope. I also hope our perceptions of the course mesh well enough so that the grade seems fair to you. Most of all, I hope that what I've said helps you to understand the limitations of any grade as a measure of who you are and what you can do. It's a symbol, a mark on a piece of paper. Nothing more. 5. Years ago, our high school principal wrote, as was customary then, a short message to the graduating class for the school yearbook. She was a formidable woman: white haired, gimlet-eyed, quiet and precise in her manner. Her message to us was: "I believe the class of 1994 will go forward, and as they go forward, achieve". Not a bad message, I've always felt. Hopeful, encouraging; but qualified just enough to let us know we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously(the "I believe" is certainly less fulsome than "I am sure"). A good way of wishing us all luck in the years to come. May you have your fair share of it as you move along. And may you find strength somewhere to endure whatever disappointments come your way, symbolic and actual. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A-6)on your Answer Sheet, bo not mark any letter twice. A. Drawbacks are unavoidable in a competitive society B. Our high school principal's short passage to the graduating class C. I try to relieve one's disappointment by changing one's grade D. The harm of the unmerited approval E. The correct understanding of the grade F. The virtues of a competitive society G. A false picture of accomplishment

填空题Paris Hotel Wars For nearly a hundred years, the Hotel le Bristol and five other so-called Parisian palace hotels—the Crillon, George V. Meurice, Plaza Athénée and Rita—have seen themselves as the guardians of French tradition and grand service, (1) They're also very expensive. Five-star properties in Paris have average room rates of ＄350 to ＄700 per night, but rooms at the palaces start at ＄1,000 and climb all the way to ＄31.000. (2) The luxury oligopoly, however, is facing its first significant challenge. (3) In October, the Singapore-based Raffles Group reopened Le Royal Monceau, which dates from 1928, after spending more than ＄140 million to gut and refurbish it. In December, Hong Kong-based Shangri-La unveiled its offering inside the former residence of Napoleon's grandnephew. (4) The hotel will blend "French services with Oriental flair," meaning yoga mats in the rooms, massage parlors in the suites and dim sum on the room-service menu. In early 2013 the Peninsula Group will debut its first European hotel on the swanky Avenue Kléber. (5) The target clientele is a growing emerging-market elite. The number of millionaire households rose 14% worldwide in 2009 to include 11.2 million people, according to the Boston Consulting Group, and China alone saw a spike of 31%. (6) The Asian chains will feature top-notch plumbing and state-of-the-art technology, which have often been missing from the palace hotels in the past. The new competition has prompted the old guard to renovate its properties and dust off their history. (7) At the Bristol, managers recount how during World War Ⅱ. their predecessors erased a suite from the floor plan and harbored a Jewish architect, who later thanked them by building the elegant wrought-iron elevator at the hotel's center. (8) But what's clear is this: for luxury travelers headed to Paris this spring and summer, the choice of accommodations just got a whole lot better. A. In June, Mandarin Oriental will welcome guests to its 130-room property near the Louvre, built at a cost of more than ＄16 million per room. B. Their flagship restaurants serve only French haute cuisine, and their historic buildings remain as iconic today as they were in the 18th and 19th centuries. C. Together these openings will boost the number of luxury rooms in the city by 40%. D. Asian hotel groups are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in lavish new properties in historic buildings throughout Paris—all with rooms at the palaces' price point. E. Luxury today needs to have a story, so the Crillon emphasizes that Marie Antoinette took piano lessons in its drawing rooms, and the Ritz honors Coco Chanel's 30-year residency there. F. Whether or not historical tales can preserve the allure of Parisian tourism is still unknown. G. But the new properties will appeal to any traveler who simply wants to stay in a less fusty yet still luxurious environment. H. Their iconic status kept their rooms filled through most of the recession, even at those prices.

填空题Read the following passages, eight sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A~H the one which fits each gap. For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(A~H)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. Today's career assumptions are you can get a lot of development, challenge and job satisfaction and not necessarily be in a management role. A new malady is running rampantly in corporate America: management phobia. 【R1】______ " I hated all the meetings," says a 10-year award-winning manager, "and I found the more you did for people who worked for you, the more they expected." 【R2】______ With technology changing in a wink, you can never slack off these days if you're on the technical side. 【R3】______ In addition, the Dilbert factor is at work. With Scott Adams's popular cartoon character — as well as many television sitcoms — routinely portraying managers as morons or enemies, they just don't get much respect anymore. Supervising others was always a tough task, but in the past that stress was offset by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. 【R4】______ But in today's global, more competitive arena, a manager sits on an insecure perch.【R5】______There are far fewer rungs on the corporate ladder for managers to climb. In addition, managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim, if any, financial paybacks and perks. Furthermore, managers now must supervise many people who are spread over different locations, even over different continents. 【R6】______ In an age of entrepreneurship, when the most praised people in business are those launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role. 【R7】______ Management layoffs have done much to erode interest in managerial jobs, of course. 【R8】______A. Many people don't want to be a manager — and many people who are managers are, frankly, itching to jump off the management track — or have already.B. It's a rare person who can manage to keep up on the technical side and handle a management job, too.C. Restructuring have eliminated layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of competencies rather than hierarchies.D. They must manage across functions with, say, design, finance, marketing and technical people reporting to them.E. I was a counselor, motivator, financial adviser and psychologist.F. Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make other people do things.G American Management Association surveys say three middle managers are laid off for every one being hired. H. Along with a sizable pay raise, people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive perks: stock options, company cars, club memberships, plus the key to the executive washroom.

填空题Part 2 Questions 9-18 ·Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18. 1. The American baby boom after the war made unconvincing advice to the poor countries that they restrain their birthrates. However, there has hardly been a year since 1957 in which birthrates have not fallen in the United States and other rich countries, and in t976 the fall was especially sharp. Both East Germany and West Germany have fewer births than they have deaths, and the United States is only temporarily able to avoid this condition because the children of the baby boom are now an exceptionally large group of married couples. 2. It is true the American don't typically plan their birth to set an example tbr developing nations. They are more affected by women's liberation: once women see interesting and well-paid job and careers available, they are less willing to provide free labor for child raising. From costing nothing, children suddenly come to seem impossibly expensive. And to the high cost of children are added the uncertainties introduced by divorce; couples are increasingly unwilling to subject children to the terrible experience of marital breakdown and themselves to the difficulty of raising a child alone. 3. These circumstances—women working outside the home and the instability of marriage —tend to spread with industrial society and they will affect more and more countries during the remainder of this century. Along with them goes social mobility, ambition to rise in the urban world, a main factor in bringing down the births in Europe in the nineteenth century. 4. Food shortage will happen again when the reserves resulting from the food harvest of 1976 and 1977 have been consumed. Urbanization is likely to continue, with the cities of developing nations struggling under the weight of twice present population by the year 2000. 5. The presently rich countries are approaching a stable population largely because of the changed place of women, and they incidentally are setting an example of restraint to the rest of the world. Industrial society will spread to the poor countries, and aspirations will exceed resources. All this will lead to population in the 21st century smaller than was feared years ago. For those anxious to see the population brought under control, the news is encouraging.

填空题Since the beginning of the year, my office has become a romantic battlefield. Three relationships, lasting two or three years, have died.【R1】______Secret kisses in the office stairways, longing glances across the meeting table, silly declarations of love over the office message system and photographs of the significant others displayed for all to see on desks. These lovestruck fools were inseparable, seven days a week, nine to five and then after.【R2】______Then the relationships fell apart one by one, and everything went to hell. The workplace, once a romantic playground, became as tense as a demilitarized zone.【R3】______Luckily, they have emerged from their failed romances with one valuable lesson learnt: office relationships don't work. It's natural to meet someone in the workplace when you spend three-quarters of your life there. An office romance might even turn out stronger and sweeter because of the commonly-shared working experience. But when emotional bankruptcy occurs, being in the same office as your former love might be torture. 【R4】______Whereas other couples can only meet after work, you get to look at your beloved at work every day. All of a sudden, work seems so much more tolerable when you have a close mate who is able to relate to your office problems and offer a reassuring presence when the going gets tough. Your work performance might even improve as both of you motivate and help each other out. An office couple also share the same social network, which generally includes the other colleagues in the workplace. 【R5】______The physical closeness that was so cherished by the couple becomes a double-edged sword. The thrill of seeing your beloved daily at work quickly sinks into the dread of bumping into her whenever you head for the copy machine. Also, without the benefit of breathing space to allow you to recover from the failed relationship, you are forced to suppress your anger and jealousy as other people start approaching to make a romantic offer to your former partner.【R6】______The lovers might start to take each other for granted. And let's not forget the professional conflicts of interest. For instance, what happens if one supervises the other, or if they are competing for the same promotion? And, as the office relationship explodes, its aftershock is often felt on all sides.【R7】______Most importantly, an office relationship might make the lovers believe that they have a lot more in common than they actually do. Take away the job-related conversation, and you might be left with two people who have very little to say to one another. Nonetheless, office romances still happen.【R8】______But mark out lines between work and your personal life. Sad break-ups in my office show that love and work make a disastrous mix. A. Not that intra-office romance is always bad, of course. B. Suddenly, colleagues from the same social group are forced to choose sides. C. But office romances are often bad news, especially when they start falling apart. D. And still, they couldn't get enough of each other. E. Anyway, it's a wonderful opportunity to share your life with your partner when you work together. F. They started out beautifully. G. The former lovers avoided each other like a disease. H. Even if the relationship is still alive, seeing your partner every day for so many hours might be too much.

填空题People traveling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours.【R1】______It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you wish to go to sleep you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky enough to get a couchette, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling, or fumbling to find your passport when you cross a frontier.【R2】______Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with traffic. 【R3】______ You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food — always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, and you are likely to get seasick, no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. 【R4】______ Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travelers are intimidated by them. They also have the grave disadvantage of being the most expensive form of transport.【R5】______Traveling at a height of 30, 000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of talking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to your destination rapidly. 【R6】______The real escapist can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world.【R7】______You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from the view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. 【R8】______You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey. A. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. B. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. C. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. D. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. E. By comparison, trips by sea offer a great variety of civilized comforts. F. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. G Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice up to a third of their holidays for the pleasure of traveling on a ship. H. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled.
