填空题1. For many fashion-conscious Frenchmen, the triumph of the dark suit, imported from English, was a source of national shame and aesthetic distress. "The sun's rays have disappeared," wrote a Parisian journalist in 1869, "giving way to the lugubrious shadows in which our tailors envelop us. " Another writer was quick to envisage the demise of the hated costume: oh ... black suit... I won't miss you, dull, banal black suit. May you disappear forever ... The black suit is dying ... the black suit is dead! 2. In one way, this prediction has been a staggering failure. The suit is alive and well. It is the costume of respectable dress for heads of state, businessmen, lawyers, criminal defendants, and in a form remarkably little changed from that of its Anglo-Parisian ancestor. 3. What explains this remarkable stability? We begin with an undeniable fact: the suit looks wonderful. Flattering to almost any height and shape, moving easily and draping itself with grace as the wearer sits or rises. It is moreover thoroughly erotic. Whereas earlier fashions in male dress had drawn attention to the clothing itself, displaying the beauty of the costume rather than the man, the suit's careful fit without adornments, on the other hand, emphasizes the unique grace of the individual body — indeed creates it, in the highest tailoring tradition. 4. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the French bourgeoisie had attained sufficient social and economic influence to dictate the course of fashion. The bourgeoisie prided itself on the virtues of thrift, responsibility and self-control. The suit, dark, stiff and austere, expressed the new self-image of the bourgeois male; Bourgeois dress manifested bourgeois virtues. At the same time, to a remarkable degree, it effaced distinctions of class and rank. The rise of ready-to-wear clothing made it possible for an astute male to look elegant, and males began to look all the same when dressed for serious business. 5. Just as nudity, for the Greeks, was the dress of personhood, so the suited man with his muted colors and matte finish became, paradoxically, more of a distinct moral character by virtue of his suited sameness to other males. His individual excellence thus became not less but more important against the simple background. At a formal evening occasion, when men wore suits and women each wore a different decorative gown, the women were individuated by their costumes and their souls were lost, whereas men were all soul so to speak, in their apparently monotonous black and white. 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. The reason of suit's stability B. Popularity of suit with French bourgeoisie C. Suit's highlighting of moral character D. The proper occasions of wearing suit E. Frenchmen's dislike of suit at the beginning F. The remarkable popularity of suit G. The origin of suit

It took scientists a year to get the right shade - and if truth be told, it might take several more for soldiers to get used to it - but after more than sixty years bearing the same dark yellow colour, the British military is to adopt a new 'Army Brown'. In what is likely to be one of the biggest make-over the forces have undertaken, the army's fleet of desert vehicles is being repainted, replacing the previous 'Light Stone' camouflage that has adorned tanks and troops carriers since before the Second World War. 2. Some of the new Foxhound patrol vehicles being used in Afghanistan have already been re-sprayed with up to 30 litres of the new colour per vehicle, hinting at the scale of the paint job required over the coming years. The army has around 5,000 combat vehicles - and all conflicts over the last 20 years have taken place in sandy environments. 3. The scientists who developed it insist 'Army Brown' is the colour of the future, and the paint is clever too. They are working on a formula which will turn it into a different shade when chemicals have been detected to warn troops of the dangers around them. "The new colour is a tan brown whereas the old was a dark yellow," said Andrew Richardson from AkzoNobel, the firm which developed it. "It is a dirt colour as opposed to a sand colour. When you are close up there is a significant difference." Richardson claimed it was the most advanced paint the military had ever used, and is similar to the colours used by the US and Australian militaries. 4. The Ministry of Defence decided it wanted a change of hue last year, with officers saying they needed something that could work in places such as Afghanistan, but blend in easily in other hot and dusty environments. Defence officials gather: red rock and soil samples back from Afghanistan for a team at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, which came up with the ideal new colour. AkzoNobel then turned it into a camouflage paint that "will replace the sand colour that has been used on army vehicles since before the Second World War." 5. Though Richardson said the "new paint colour has been specifically designed of the desert-like environment where most operations currently take place", he insisted it would work elsewhere. "It was designed to provide a better balance between desert-like areas and the green zone." The Ministry of Defence said the new colour added to the basic range used by the military. Green is used for colder climates - and pink has been used in places such as Saudi Arabia, to help military planes blend in. However, brown is very much de rigueur for the British military at the moment; after extensive trials involving 3,500 personnel, the army has plumped For a dark chocolate colour for its new combat boots.

Do not mark any letter twice. Have Life Insurance? Is It Enough or Maybe Too Much? Most parents know that they need life insurance. But many would rather have a root canal than shop for the best life insurance policy. "People don't think about, 'What will my family do if I am gone and not earning a living? '" says Peter Katt, a fee-only life insurance adviser. "The whole point of this kind of planning is to provide the family with maximum flexibility so they're not stuck." 【R1】______Too often, parents make a quick decision, ignoring important considerations. Among their mistakes, one is that they do not buy enough life insurance.【R2】______"They don't think that the person who is not bringing in an income needs life insurance," says Greg Daugherty, executive editor of Consumers Union. But if that person dies, the other parent can't stop working and usually has to pay someone to help care for the family. 【R3】______Katt recommended that one young couple should buy $3 million for the husband who earns $100,000 a year and $1 million for the stay-at-home wife. At the same time, many families rely on employer-provided life insurance, but employer-provided coverage is rarely sufficient to support your family.【R4】______Some employers provide a year's salary, but that may also fall well short of the amount your family would need to maintain its standard of living. Some employers let workers buy group life insurance through payroll deductions. That may be a good deal for workers who have health problems that would disqualify them for an individual policy. 【R5】______ Another drawback is that if you leave your job, you may not be able to take your insurance. "Given the job market, most of us are not absolutely certain that our jobs are secure," Daugherty says. 【R6】______ On the other hand, some families buy too much insurance. Not everyone needs life insurance. Some people buy life insurance for babies, which is unnecessary, unless the baby is a child model who is supporting the family, Daugherty says:【R7】______Single people and those who have no children to care for usually don't need life insurance. Katt says a man with substantial savings in stocks and bonds and other sources of income recently asked him how much life insurance he needs. "I said none," Katt says. 【R8】______ A. Many employer-provided policies provide a death benefit of $10,000 to $25,000 — barely enough to cover your funeral expenses. B. Families don't always insure a parent who is staying home to care for the children. C. "There are people who don't need life insurance but have it and many more people who need it but are woefully uninsured." D. The purpose of insurance is to replace the income that a family has been relying on. E. "Even if you have a lot of insurance at work, it makes sense to have some more insurance on your own." F. To make insurance more affordable, you may not need to buy the same amount of insurance for both parents. G. Planning for your death is not a cheerful topic. H. But if you're young and healthy, you may be able to get a better rate on your own.

填空题Read the following article and answer questions 9-18 on the next page. Are You Looking after Yourself? 1. Running is an excellent exercise. Before you start running, you should warm up first, using slow movements that make all your muscles work. But be careful! If you stretch when your muscles are cold, you might do yourself an injury. Always wear comfortable clothing and make sure your trainers comfortable and in good shape. If you wear shoes that give good support to your whole feet, you will put less pressure on your knees. You should start exercising slowly, at a pace you can keep up for about 15-20 minutes. Try to exercise on soft ground as this will protect your knees and hips from too much stress. 2. It's OK if you go to bed late occasionally but if you regularly cut down on your sleep, it will soon start to have a bad effect on your skin. If you get a good night's rest, it will do your appearance the world of good. It is not called beauty sleep for nothing! Lack of sleep can cause acne or dry skin. Make sure you get a good night's sleep by going to bed and getting up at regular times: don't burn the candle at both ends. During the day, keep active: if you don't get enough exercise during the day, you may end up sleepless all night. 3. Did you know that standing, sitting and walking badly can make you look heavier than you really are? If we watched the way we sat and stood, it would improve our appearance a great deal. Stand in front of the mirror with your feet apart and your legs straight. Pull in your tummy, check that your ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles are in line with each other. You should be feeling and looking better already. 4. Most of us live in large polluted cities. If we got more fresh air, we would look healthier and more attractive. A brisk walk is one of the best things you can do for your circulation and appearance. Walking slowly is useful but a quick pace gets more oxygen into your lungs. So don't just go for a pleasant stroll, try and find an area that doesn't have much pollution, and get moving! 5. Many young people feel guilty about eating too much chocolate, and some even say they are addicted to it, though there is no evidence to support this. Chocolate does contain a lot of fat, and therefore any addicts out there would do better to eat less. However, if your diet is balanced, you needn't feel guilty: eating chocolate in moderation is fine — but don't eat it instead of a proper meal!

Noise Do you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near the airport, you'll be unhappy only because a jet plane flying in the sky makes loud noise. The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously. (1) They like to enjoy music when they are doing dull jobs. It is a new danger because "pop" music, when played through powerful amplifiers, can reach 120 decibels at a distance of 5 feet. (2) Recently it was discovered that many teenagers hear no better than people as old as 65. (3) For example, when newspapers and books are being printed, the noise level is about 85 decibels, and some of the workers will eventually become deaf. Scientists believe that 10 percent of all workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise in the factories. (4) We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. (5) Workers in noisy offices are not as efficient as those in quiet offices. Noise makes people less efficient. (6) In Britain the government has recently made several laws to reduce noise. (7) However, many people think that there are still not enough laws. For example, there are no laws to control noise by machines. In Japan, America and Norway there are such laws. (8) Scientists in our country are trying their best to find out one way or another to keep down noise.A. Moreover, noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and anxious.B. However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise.C. Moreover, the government has spent a good deal of money in making airports and main roads quieter.D. It can damage health and prevent people from working well.E. Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?F. It is known that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness.G. We used to think that only those who work in very noisy places became deaf.H. As a result, workers can claim compensation if they become dea

填空题1. For some years, there has been a plan to solve the water shortage problem by moving huge icebergs halfway round the world — from the Antarctic Ocean to arid region such as the north of Mexico, California, Arabia or parts of Africa. The plan has never been implemented, however, because of the great cost involved in using giant tugboats to move the icebergs. 2. The solution to this problem of cost would be to make self-propelled icebergs, thus removing the need for ships and expensive fuel. The iceberg would be its own tugboat. This is how it would work: liquid freon is pumped under high pressure into heat exchangers submerged in the water. As the freon leaves the iceberg(temperature: 32°F)and comes into contact with the water(temperature: 50°F~52°F), it turns into gas and expands rapidly. As it does so, it turns turbines which drive the propellers. The freon is then returned to the iceberg where it liquefies and goes through the process again. 3. The plan is then as follows. A ship would sail to the Antarctic and select an iceberg 2 miles wide, 5 miles long and about 1,000 feet thick. A crew of 40 to 50 people would then bring the iceberg to where it is needed. They would live in special quarters, heated by solar energy. Helicopters would bring equipment, supplies and food. When the "engine" was in place, the iceberg would travel at about one and a half knots, although in a favorable current, it would move two or three times as fast. The Humboldt Current, for example, off the coast of South America could bring icebergs from the Antarctic to the coast of Mexico or California. 4. The next problem is what to do with it when it arrives at its destination. Lying off the coast of some dry area, the iceberg would be enclosed in an enormous plastic cocoon, open on the top and the bottom but enclosing all the sides. This would prevent the iceberg from floating away and also enables the fresh water to be piped off the top as it melts. The iceberg would take about a year to melt. 5. The cost of this operation is estimated at about $65 million for the first iceberg and $15 million for subsequent ones because the equipment can be used again. The operation is therefore worth considering because a 2 miles by 5 miles by 1,000 feet iceberg holds a trillion gallons of water, worth about $200 million at today's prices.

填空题Imaging being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of one sex.【R1】______Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn't be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children — conditions which they themselves wouldn't put up with for one minute! Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education.【R2】______One of the chief aims of education is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? 【R3】______ A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature.【R4】______They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life.【R5】______What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. 【R6】______ But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don't grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures, fairy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings. Girls don't grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes.【R7】______There are no goddesses with pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers. There are no romantic heroes with knobbly knees, dirty fingernails and unkempt hair. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up. These can better be overcome in a co-educational environment. Segregated schools sometimes provide the right conditions for sexual deviation. This is hardly possible under a co-educational system. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to enter society as well-adjusted adults. 【R8】______ A. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women. B. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place. C. What a practical advantage it is(to give just a small example)to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! D. Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock. E. How would you react? F. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. G Stuffing children's heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. H. Years of living together at school dispel illusions of this kind.

填空题Don"t be so ______! The bus will be here soon. (patient)

填空题1. Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. 2. "The burnt child fears the fire" is one instance; another is the rise of dictators like Hitler. Both these examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In the one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and accumulative. The Nazis were filled largely with the speeches they heard and the books they read. 3. The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitude from those adults whose word they respect. 4. Another reason is that pupils often study somewhat deeply a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher's method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans. 5. The media which the teacher can develop healthy attitudes are innumerable. Social studies(with special reference to races, beliefs and nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom, these are a few of the fertile fields for the education of proper emotional reactions. 6. However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by scolding them. She can achieve the poor effect by helping them obtain constructive experience. 7. To illustrate, first-grade pupils' afraid of policemen will properly alter their attitude after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips. 8. Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be harmful if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts. 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. The importance of the first impression B. The rise of Nazis C. The importance of attitude D. The influence of experience on attitude E.

填空题Part 2 Questions 9-18 Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18. 1. Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind football, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering. 2. Those who have a passion for climbing high difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineers and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. 3. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. 4. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between "team" of climbers, but when climbers on rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. 5. The mountain climber knows that he may have fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight to against the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than young man, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
