填空题A (51) of foreign words still look like foreign words; there are often expressions which (52) originally used by people who wanted to sound particularly well-educated. It was the desire to be scholarly that brought (53) a wave of Latin terms which appeared in the 16th century (54) the Humanist movement brought new impetus to learning throughout Europe. (55) such as, e. g. (from the Latin meaning a voluntary example); PS (meaning" added after the latter has been written" ); a.m. and (56) ( meaning "before noon" and" after noon" ) came into the language at this time. Nowadays they are (57) common that most people don't even know (58) the letters actually stand for and there's certainly nothing learned about using them today ! In addition to the words brought to English (59) foreigners, there are plenty of words which the British have collected from the countries they have settled in all (60) the world. There are even a few Chinese words, which I’m sure a Chinese speaker would recognize from the way we pronounce them:" typhoon" is a great wind; "to kow-tow" is to bow down low; a "sampan" is a small wooden boat. Over 5,000 of the words in common use in English today are words of foreign (61) . Some of them are clearly recognizable (62) foreign like "au pair" or "rendezvous"; (63) now look so English that only a language historian knows (64) they came from. So English is in a state of permanent development. Both in Britain and abroad it is gaining (65) words and expressions, and dropping and changing old (66) . Words changes their meaning, and they go in and out of fashion (67) hairstyles. Nobody knows all the four million words that are said to exist; a well-educated person probably (68) under 20,000. So don't be surprised if you never encounter some of the expressions that still appear in school textbook; and next time you hear somebody using a strange word you haven't heard (69) , you can comfort yourself that there may well be a native speaker somewhere who doesn't know it (70) .

填空题（复旦大学2009年试题） Here is a great irony of 21st-century global public health; While many hundreds of millions of people lack adequate food as a result of economic inequities, political corruption, or warfare, many hundreds of millions【1】are overweight to the point of increased risk for diet-related chronic diseases. Obesity is a worldwide phenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorest countries to divert scarce resources【2】from food security to take care of people with preventable heart disease and diabetes. To reverse the obesity epidemic, we must address fundamental causes. Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than【3】expended in activity. The cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra income to eat more and be less active. Market economies encourage this. They turn people with expendable income into consumers of aggressively marketed foods that are high in energy but low in【4】value, and of cars, television sets, and computers that promote sedentary behavior. Gaining weight is good for business. Food is particularly big business because everyone eats. Moreover, food is so overproduced that many countries, especially the rich ones, have far more than they need—-【5】irony. In the United States, to take an extreme example, most adults—of all ages, incomes, educational levels, and census categories—are overweight. The U. S. food supply provides 3,800 kilocalories per person per day, nearly twice as much as required by many adults. Overabundant food forces companies to compete【6】sales through advertising, health claims, new products, larger portions, and campaigns【7】toward children. Food marketing promotes weight gain. Indeed, it is difficult to think【8】any major industry that might benefit if people ate less food; certainly【9】the agriculture, food product, grocery, restaurant, diet, or drug industries. All flourish when people eat more, and all employ armies of lobbyists to discourage governments from doing anything to inhibit【10】.

填空题A child who has once been pleased with tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not led parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it (41) of a book, and, if a parent can produce (42) in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the (43) , one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, (44) the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge deems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children (45) dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear (46) the pleasure of a fear face and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds (47) they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc, do not exist, and that, instead of indulging, his fantasies (48) fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their cases (49) sound there should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on broomstick (50) covering a telephone with kissed in the belief that it was their enchanted girl- friend. No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no such child ever believed that it was.
