填空题This book is about the future of technology. In it we will examine some of the many recent developments in a few key fields and try, in a limited way, to predict where they will take us in the next fifteen years or 31 . If that sounds like a modest goal, it"s not. Technology is the 32 (dominate) force of our time and probably of all time to come. It appears in more varieties than we can count. It changes so rapidly 33 no scientist or engineer can keep up with his own field, much less with technology in general. It permeates and shapes our lives 34 every turn. We live in technology 35 fish live in the sea, and we have only a little better chance of f 36 the details of its future changes. Yet the task is well w 37 undertaking. Whatever hints we can glean (一点点搜集) about the future will help us prepare for the changes to come. Modest forecasts, evidence of trends, a few concrete developments to be expected all are better than no warning at all. And th 38 technology has made the present much less stable than the past, and surely will make the future more disturbed still, there is good reason to hope that our lives, 39 sum and on average, will be better as a result. In an age of uncomfortable ch 40 , this is reassurance (保证) we all can use.

The 2 that rock or pop music might ever play a part in sports training would have been regarded as a joke not so long ago. But today modern music is increasingly filling the gym as well as the front room. The idea of exercise to music is not new. For years, 3 in eastern Europe, the benefits of sportsmen and sportswomen having 4 in ballet and classical dance, with their stress on total body control and balance, have long been recognized. Figure-skating and ice-dance are usually performed to music and can be said to be specialized 5 of this type of exercise. But ballet and classical dance can be 6 other sports that are also pleasing to the eye, such as gymnastics and skiing, 7 of which demand high standards of balance, coordination and suppleness. In western Europe and North America, a far 8 interest has been shown in working out to classical music. Even sports which seem to demand muscular 9 more than any other physical requirement have taken up exercise to music as a valuable addition to their own specialized training schemes.

填空题 Directions: In this section, you will hear a short passage. There are ten missing words in it. Fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear on the tape. There can be {{U}}(21) {{/U}} anyone who has not heard of yoga, and, whether you are 16 or 60, you can reap the {{U}}(22) {{/U}} of taking it up as a hobby. Yoga has been {{U}}(23) {{/U}} by Hinduism and is a system of training the body and the mind. Its goal is to make it easier for people to remove all {{U}}(24) {{/U}} which hinder reaching that state of mind and body by which they can live a life of the spirit in union with their maker. Reaching this state is {{U}}(25) {{/U}} more difficult than might be imagined. For this reason, the training is {{U}}(26) {{/U}} into stages, which become gradually harder and harder. The aim of taking part in the physical training is to bring the body under {{U}}(27) {{/U}} control in such areas as the regulation of breathing and the {{U}}(28) {{/U}} of muscles, both of which play an important part in controlling our overall movements. The stress of mental training, as well as physical body {{U}}(29) {{/U}}, make undisturbed concentration possible. Anyone trained in this way is called a yogi. So what are we waiting for?

填空题Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word. Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letters of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an open container and fills it to the level of a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but tends to diffuse throughout the space available; it must {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}be kept in a closed container, as in the {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}of a planet's atmosphere. The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}(describe) the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be "dissolved" in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory held that the two phases are made up of different kinds of molecules (分子). The theories now prevailing {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}t a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common. They are both forms of matter {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}have no permanent structure, and they both flow easily. They are fluids. The {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}(fundament) similarity of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat. Suppose a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands, or in other {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}, becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. In contrast, the vapor above the liquid surface becomes dense as the evaporated molecules are added to it. The combination of temperature and pressure {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}which the densities become equal is called the critical point. Above the critical point the liquid and the gas can no longer be {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}(distinguish) ; there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform density.

填空题Fanners, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it in Britain, and have been turning to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only p 1 new kinds of crops, but some strange ways of making money, the most u 2 of which has got to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me correctly! A farmer in the West of England now-holds sheep races on a regular basis, and d 3 the past year over 100,000 people have turned up to w 4 the proceedings. "I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday," one punter told me, "and I thought I"d have a look. I didn"t believe it was serious, to tell you the truth." A 5 to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. "At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horses in advance, and there are clear f 6 . But nobody has heard anything about these sheep! Most people find it d 7 to tell one from another in any case." I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite exciting. In a typical race, half a dozen sheep race downhill o 8 a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the track, I ought to add! The sheep run s 9 fast, although presumably they haven"t eaten for a while just to give them some m 10 . At any rate, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, judging by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.
