填空题Within the national group, our prejudices tend to be very mixed and, because they operate mainly on an unconscious level, not easily recognizable. We can be natives of great cities and still find a town dialect less pleasant than a country one. And yet, hearing 1 and quaintness in a Dorset or Devon twang, we can also despise it, because we associate it with 2 or backwardness. The ugly tones of Manchester or Birmingham will, because of their great civic associations, be at the same time somehow admirable. The whole business of ugliness and beauty works strangely. A BBC announcer says "pay day"; a Cockney says "pie die". The former is thought to be beautiful, the latter ugly, and yet the announcer can use the Cockney sounds in a statement like "Eat that pie and you will die" without anybody"s face 3 . In fact, terms like "ugly" and "beautiful" cannot really apply to languages at all. Poets can make beautiful patterns out of words, but there are no standards we can use to 4 aesthetic judgments on the words themselves. We all have our pet hates and loves among words, but these always have to be referred to associations. We have to watch associations carefully, remembering that language is a public, not a private, medium, and that questions of word-hatred and word-love had best be 5 very coldly and rationally.

填空题Questions 61-67 are based on the following passage. Sports is one of the world's largest industries, and most athletes are professionals who are paid for their efforts. Because an athlete succeeds by achievement only--not by economic background or family connections--sports can be a fast route to wealth, and many athletes play more for money than for love. This has not always been true. In the ancient Olympics the winner got only a wreath of leaves (花冠). Even though the winners became national heroes, the games remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, but no money. As time passed, however, the contests become increasingly less amateur and cities began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., the Olympics were ruined, and they were soon ended. In 1896, the Olympic Games were revived with same goal of pure amateur competition. The rules bar athletes who have ever received a $50 prize or an athlete scholars or who have spent for weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met these qualifications. He was Spiridon Loues, a water carrier who won the marathon race. After race, a rich Althenian offered him anything he wanted. A true amateur, Loues accepted only a cart and a horse. Then he gave up running forever. But Loues was an exception and now, as the Chairman of the German Olympic Committee said, "Nobody pays any attention to these rotes." Many countries pay their athletes to train year-round, and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food. Even the games themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to hold the Olympics not only for honor, but for money. In 1972 games in Munich cost the German 545 million dollars, but by selling medal symbols, TV rights, food, drink, hotel rooms, and souvenirs, they managed to make a profit. Appropriately, the symbols of victory in the Olympic Games is no longer a simple olive wreath--it is a gold medal.

填空题What letter comes next in this series of letters? B　A　C　B　D　C　E　D　F?

填空题Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot hair is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. Liquids Such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed. Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.

填空题 1 The Internet, which means interconnected network of networks, links tens of thousands of smaller computer networks. These networks transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words, images, and sounds. 2 Network users can search through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic "bulletin boards", where users form discussion groups around common interests. Much of the Internet"s traffic consists of messages sent from one computer user to another. These messages are called electronic mail or e-mail. Internet users have electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive e-mail. Other uses of the network include obtaining news, joining electronic debates, and playing electronic games. One feature of the Internet, known as the World Wide Web, provides graphics, audio, and video to enhance the information in its documents. These documents cover a vast number of topics. 3 Much of the Internet operates through worldwide telephone networks of fiber optic cables. These cables contain hair thin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of fight. They can transmit thousands of times more data than local phone lines, most of which consist of copper wires. 4 At that time, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense developed a network of computers called ARPAnet. Originally, ARPAnet connected only military and government computer systems. Its purpose was to make these systems secure in the event of a disaster or war. Soon after the creation of ARPAnet, universities and other institutions developed their own computer networks. These networks eventually were merged with ARPAnet to form the Internet. By the 1990s, anyone with a computer, modem, and Internet software could link up to the Internet. 5 . Many experts believe the Internet may become part of a larger network called the information superhighway. This network, still under development, would link computers with telephone companies, cable television stations, and other communication systems. People could bank, shop, watch TV, and perform many other activities through the network. Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use. A. The history of the Internet began 1960s and ARPAnet formed the foundation of the Internet nowadays. B. In the future, the Internet will probably grow more sophisticated as computer technology becomes more powerful. C. The Internet is a vast network of computers that connects many of the world"s businesses, institutions, and individuals. D. There are many uses of the network. E. People usually access the Internet with a device called a modem. Modems connect computers to the network through telephone lines. F. ARPAnet now can connect many computer systems. G. The Internet was information on virtually every topic.

填空题For all the talk of his sustained adolescence, no performer made a more compelling entrance into manhood than Michael Jackson did with the release of his 1979 album, " Off the Wall"just a couple of weeks before his 2lst (46) (day). It was all the more stunning because we had watched him during his child (47) and adolescence. He wasn't an apparition rising out of obscurity, like Elvis Presley. To become who he was in" Off the Wall. " he had to annul-if not destroy-the performer he had been in the Jackson 5. However, the change was (48) ( organ) as well as deliberate. Michael Jackson grew into his body, and out of that new body emerged wholly new ideas of what pop music, and the move (49) it generates, were. It can be hard to remember now, 30 years later, just how ubiquitous the hits from that album, especially " Rock with You," really were. In soul, in rock n'roll, and in pop, there is a long tradition of men singing in high voices, the height of the voice suggesting the pitch of the singer's fervour. Michael Jackson made the sweetness of that high voice guttural and (50) ( demand). He showed that it was rooted in his feet and hips and hands. He re-sexualized it in a way that you could never really mistake-then-as androgynous. Very few artists-certainly very few child stars-have ever redefined themselves as thoroughly or as (51) ( success) as Michael Jackson did. His second act was better than any number of first acts put together. The uncanny thing wasn't just his physical transformation, or his hypnotic new ability to move. It was the certainty of " Off the Wall" and its sequel"Thriller" that this was the music we wanted to hear. He knew, too, that this was a music we wanted to (52) ( visual), to see formalised and set loose in dance. In a sense, he was loosing his transformation upon the rest of us, expecting us to be caught up in the excite (53) the music caused in him, and we were. Michael Jackson came to be synonymous with transformation-ultimately, with an eerie stasis that comes from seeking transformation all the time. The alchemy of change worked longer and (54) (well) for him-through the '80s and into the early '90s-than it has for almost any other artist. Yet somehow all the changes always take us (55) to the album in which Michael Jackson grew up.

填空题Would you like to orbit the Earth inside the International Space Station9. Now you can take a space holiday—for a price. This is due to a recent decision by top space officials of the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency. Last April, American businessman Dennis Tito reportedly paid between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars to spend one week on the International Space Station. NASA had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations, space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station. NASA recently agreed to conditions that will permit Russia to sell trips to the space station. The trips are planned by an American company called Space Adventures Limited of Arlington, Virginia. The company calls itself "the world's leading space tourism company." The company has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman. In April, Mister Shuttleworth will be launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmedrome in Kazakhstan. Yet, the average citizen will not be able to travel into space in the near future. Space Adventures Limited sells a training program for space flight that costs two-hundred-thousand dollars. That price does not include the cost of the trip to the International Space Station. That holiday in space costs twenty-million dollars. Candidates for adventure space travel trips must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests. They must receive a lot of training and all successful candidates who wish to travel to the International Space Station must be able to read and speak English.

填空题Opera is an art that brings music, singing, and drama together on stage. The first operas were performed in Italy in the early 1600s. These operas were based on ancient Greek myths and accompanied by simple melodies. The early composers of opera called their work “ drama through music” because they felt the music was the key to expressing an idea or emotion. Although the first operas were performed for the aristocracy, by the 1700s many operas were being performed for the public.

填空题{{B}}Section C{{/B}} Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Questions 61- 65 are based on the following passage. People throughout the world enjoy hiking to wilderness campsites, usually on established trails. This activity is called backpacking because it involves carrying such essential camping gear as a tent, food, clothing, and sleeping bag on the back in a bag called a backpack. Backpacking is best suited for those who are in good physical condition as it may require walking several miles. Moreover it is sometimes necessary to climb steep paths on mountainsides, cross small streams, and spend long days on the trail to reach a secluded, quiet, and solitary campsite. The reward for this effort can be a serene mountain lake, beautiful views of the surrounding wilderness, and wildlife seen along the way. In most of the world, government agencies regulate camping activities by overseeing park systems, wilderness areas, and protected land. Some countries, however, have few regulations, and enthusiasts are allowed to camp anywhere on public land. In the United States, camping options for backpackers are abundant because of the hiking trails that crisscross lands managed by the National Park Service (a bureau of the United States Department of the Interior), the U.S. Forest Service, state parks, and the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management. Some land management agencies, such as the National Parks Service, require that backpackers register and obtain permits (called backcountry reservations) before entering wilderness areas. Others simply require that backpackers set up their campsite away from the trail and at least 30 meters from lakes, rivers, and streams to avoid polluting sources of drinking water. Questions:

Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. Early in the 1900s most Americans towns and c{{U}} (79) {{/U}} had a Main Street. Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was de{{U}} (80) {{/U}} on both sides with many various bu{{U}} (81) {{/U}} .

These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a ch{{U}} (83) {{/U}} began to take place.

Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces ou{{U}} (85) {{/U}} the city limits. Open space is what their car driving cus{{U}} (86) {{/U}} needed.
