填空题Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep.【R1】______But he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. 【R2】______He tossed and turned. Then he had a nightmare. He dreamt that he had been captured by a tribe of terrible savages.【R3】______When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage. He ordered his soldiers to kill Howe immediately.【R4】______But suddenly the inventor noticed something: there was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the nightmare with a start, realizing that he had just found the solution to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. 【R5】______ Elias Howe was far from being unique in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb, once said that his best ideas came to him in dreams.【R6】______Charlotte Bronte also drew on her dream in writing Jane Eyre. The composer Igor Stravinsky once said the only way he could solve his problems in musical composition was to "sleep on them". To appreciate the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep.【R7】______This unconscious but still active part digests your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information and details which you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake.【R8】______It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called "secret messages to ourselves". A. They advanced towards him with their spears raised. B. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. C. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine. D. The king of the tribe threatened to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. E. Even them, a part of your mind is still working. F. In spite of his exhaustion, Howe slept very badly. G However, the unconscious part expresses itself through its own logic and its own language. H. This was the simple idea that finally enabled Howe to design and build the first really practical sewing machine in the world.

填空题1. Cell phones are very common among people nowadays. They have long been more than just telephones. They can take and send photographs, play music, even use a dog's bark as a ring tone. The design of cell phones though, has always been the domain of technology freaks. Now, cell phone manufacturers have began to think of them as lifestyle accessories to be shown off in cafes and clubs. 2. Nokia, for instance, has just launched an up-market brand, "Vertu" which, in price and materials used, can be compared with an expensive watch. Siemens too is expected to try and tap the new market for fashionable phones. Known for its high technical quality, the company is starting to focus more on trendy design. Alexander Krug, a journalist for the German telecommunications magazine Connect says: "This was why Siemens came up with its 'Xelibri' brand. They are basically telephones, but really are fashion accessories." Siemens launched four such models in Germany this April, simply called "1", "2", "3" and "4", that cost US$200 to US$400. One looks a bit like a cell phone, but the others look like a UFO, a designer remote control device and a watch. 3. Design is the priority for these lifestyle cell phones. Technical functions come second. A Motorola spokeswoman says that the "V70" comes equipped with "only basics" while Siemens admits, that, for their Xelibri range: "We have not concentrated on particular technologies. " 4. The target group for such phones is those who already own a cell phone and might want a second. They are for people who go to a club and want a trendy little apparatus to show off, it says. This is all reminiscent of the success of Swiss watchmaker Swatch in the 1980s and early 1990s when they brought out a series of new models in extravagant designs. 5. Because lifestyle cell phones are not aimed at the mass market, experts cannot agree if they have a great future or not. Krug says that while most lifestyle cell phones can be afforded by people with a good job, Nokia's Vertu is in a different class: "That is only for people who wear a US $10,000 watch." 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-G)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. Many big companies try their hands on new style cell phones B. The market for such new cell phones is uncertain C. Cell phones are more than telephones nowadays D. Some people can't afford such expensive cell phones E. Lifestyle cell phones have long been designed by some famous companies F. Most such phones are used for showing off G. Style and design is of vital importance to cell phones

填空题Part 1 ·Read the following passage. 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.. Most people associate inflation with price increases on specific goods and services. (1) We must be careful to distinguish the phenomenon of inflation from price increases for specific goods. (2) Suppose you wanted to know the average price of fruit in the supermarket. (3) You might have some success, however, if you sought out the prices of apples, oranges, cherries, and peaches. Knowing the price of each kind of fruit, you could then compute the average price of fruit. The resultant figure would not refer to any particular product, but would convey a sense of how much a typical basket of fruit might cost. (4) On occasion, you might even notice that apple prices rose while orange prices fell, leaving the average price of fruit unchanged. The same kinds of calculations are made to measure inflation in the entire economy. We first determine the average price of all output—the average price level—then look for changes in that average. (5) The average price level may fall as well as rise. (6) The deflation occurs when price decreases on some goods and services outweigh price increases on all others. (7) We already noted, for example, that the price of apples can rise without increasing the average price of fruit, so long as the price of some other fruit (e.g. oranges) falls. (8) An increasing in the relative price of apples, for example, simply means that apples have become more expensive in comparison with other fruits (or any other goods or services).A. Because inflation and deflation are measured in terms of average price levels, it is possible for individual prices to rise or fall continuously without changing the average price level.B. A decline in average price is called deflation.C. A rise in the average price level is referred to as inflation.D. In such circumstances, relative prices are changing, but not average prices.E. The economy is not necessarily experiencing an inflation, however, every time the price of a cup of coffee goes up.F. Surely you would not have much success in seeking out an average fruit — nobody would be quite sure what you had in mind.G. Inflation is an increase in the average level of prices, not a change in any specific price.H. By repeating these calculations every day, you could then determine whether fruit prices, on average, were changin
