填空题In the 18th century New York was smaller than Philadelphia and Boston. 1 How can the change in its size and importance be explained? The map of the Northeast shows that four of the most heavily-populated areas in this region are around seaports. At these points materials from across the sea enter the United States, and the products of the land are sent there for export across the sea. In about 1815, when many Americans from the east coast had already moved toward the west, trade routes from the ports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem. The slow wagons of that time, drawn by horses or oxen, were too expensive for moving heavy freight very far. 2 In New York State a canal seemed the best solution to the transportation problem. From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a Long trip of low land. 3 After several years of work it was completed in 1825. The canal produced an immediate effect. 4 New York City, which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston, quickly became the leading city of the coast. The coming of the railroads made canal shipping less important, but it tied New York even more closely to the central regions of the country. It was easier for people in the central states to ship their goods to New York for export overseas. Thus New York became the greatest port for receiving people from European countries. 5 Others stayed in New York for a few weeks, months, or years, and then moved to other parts of the United States. For these great numbers of new Americans, New York had to provide homes, goods, and services. Their labor helped the city become great. A. Freight costs were cut to about one-tenth of what they had been. B. Americans had long admired Europe"s canals. C. That"s why seaports often have cities nearby. D. Here the Erie Canal was constructed. E. Today it is the largest city in America. F. Many of these people remained in the city. G. Passengers could come from Europe very cheaply as a result.

填空题1 st Person: I don't really know if 1 have a specific style. I mean I'm not into a, you know, hip-hop or retro or anything like that. I just basically like what's comfortable. And, well of course, usually what's good on me. But I definitely go for comfort over anything else. All, my favorite types of clothes, I would have to say, are T-shirts and jeans. Oh, I like vests.

填空题Martha Graham's school

填空题Jane Healy

填空题Sheridan: The rise of The Da Vinci Code phenomenon — book and now movie — began with the dropping of a name that, undoubtedly, means genius: Leonardo da Vinci. In his childhood Da Vinci displayed extraordinary artistic talent. But his range of talent went far beyond art alone. He was also a scientist who made contributions to biology, geography ... And, by the way, he also created what might be the most famous painting of all time: Mona Lisa. If I created a list of the top ten most significant figures in the history of this world, I would definitely put Leonardo near the top. Taylor: It's difficult to narrow it to ten, but in addition to Leonardo Da Vinci, a top ten list would include Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Aristotle, Thomas Edison, Michelangelo, Euclid, Rene Descartes, Plato, Nicholas Copernicus, and Louis Pasteur. Well, that's eleven, all of whom changed the course of history with their knowledge. Kent: I think I'll leave the names of the most significant figures in history to be named by those with much more brain cells than I. However I will give an honorable mention to the person who invented eye drops. Since I've become addicted to reading all the comments on the Blog, my vision has blurred into a haze. Yes, indeed ... The eye drop inventor has my vote. Good work as always. Take Care. Mark: I'm sure there will be a ton of differing opinions but I think Ernesto Guevara belongs on your list. He's the symbol of rebellion, revolution and courage. If you've ever been to Cuba, you'll understand why so many people admire him. He was and is a legend. Born into a well-to-do family with the title of Doctor under his belt, he gave it all up to fight a cause he believed In. Dave Winfield: Without literary figures much of history would be lost, in no particular order — Homer (荷马) — yes, I know he really didn't exist but we use the name anyway; Shakespeare — yes, he did write everything that is attributed to him; the writers of Gilgamesh — for giving the authors of the Bible and other religious volumes many good ideas; John Smith — in spite of his gross exaggerations, he left us with keen insight as to the first settlements in the New World. That's not 10, but it completes my incomplete list. Statements[A] Great knowledge makes them in the list.[B] I admire those who made sacrifice to their ambition.[C] All those were killed or died in their attempts to bring the world to peace.[D] Because of his genius, he is made the near top in the list.[E] Through Shakespeare we have learnt the history having once happened.[F] Besides genius, there are many unknown contributor to better one's life.[G] A man's greatness can be measured by what he leaves to grow

填空题 {{B}}Peter:{{/B}} If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支气管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.{{B}}Rain:{{/B}} Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it does not shout too loudly about it.{{B}}Simon:{{/B}} The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men, they suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy ! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense !{{B}}Ross:{{/B}} Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spend on cancer research or on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned together.{{B}}Ben:{{/B}} Smoking. can provide constant consolation (安慰). When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything is deemed to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure away from us?{{I}} Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

填空题Directions: Read the following article in which five people talk about the workaholics. For Question 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Simon: I work not because I like it but that I have to, so I often count the minutes until stopping work or holidays. However, my sister is totally different. She enjoys her work so much that she often spends extra time on her job even take work home with her. I think she is so crazy about work just as some people are about drugs or alcohol. I could hardly understand it. Matthew: Work is a core element of our lives. It gives us a sense of identity in the larger world outside the personal circle of family and friends. However, there are some people for whom work occupies an even more central place in their lives. Workaholics are a stereotype of modem life, and they are both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it may be the accepted way of earning promotion. On the other hand, workaholics are often viewed as neglecting aspects of life such as family and leisure that are important for maintaining a healthy equilibrium. Andrew: In cities, workaholism is so common that people do not regard it as unusual. I think workaholics prefer to work rather than do anything else because they don't know how to kill time if they don't work. They can only get pleasure from work. Work is everything for them. Colin: Workaholism is dangerous in a sense because it can cause some problems. First of all, workaholics often have health problems because they don't have time to relax and keep themselves occupied all the time. Secondly, their family life is not happy since they spend little time with their family. Their marriage may even ends in divorce. Vincent: Being a workaholic can mean you achieve great things, but more people achieve great things without being addicted to work. Workaholics need time away from work and when I say "away from" I mean psychologically distanced from it as well as physically. If you are still obsessing about work when you should be focused on your loved ones or an outside of work activity then you are still basically working. Now match the name of each person to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. A. Some people appreciate those who pay almost all their attention on work. B. If you don't get rid of workaholism, you may get ill. C. To get promotion, you need to be a workaholic. D. Workaholics' behaviors are hard to understand. E. Workaholics had better have some time with no work. F. It's hard for workaholics to be away from work psychologically. G. Workaholics don't know how to enjoy themselves except working.

填空题Jackson: Viewed from a scientist's standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. Some of the heat is used directly or produces useful work. The rest is lost or rejected. That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around.Browning: It is necessary to improve the efficiency with which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work.Jeffry: In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using energy more efficiently than private automobiles. Unless private automobiles call operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. But buses are not always fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all.Vandenberg: It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very efficient, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours, commuter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people.Nathan: For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, a combination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. Better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make fuller use of energy for transportation. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.[B] The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.[C] City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.[D] Private cars usually run at full capacity.[E] No fuel energy is fully used.[F] A combined means of transport can help increase energy efficiency.[G] Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.

填空题Mrs. Johnson

填空题 Mr. Mike Smith: It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at las people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. Bu please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim. Mr. Tom Brown: It' s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up ,so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we' re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason. Mr. Bob Davis: Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all? Mrs. Baker. My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater： Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Statements [A] A 10% increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason. [B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation' s security and stability. [C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved. [D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker' s demands. [E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison. [F] I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs. [G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim. Note: there are two extra statements.

填空题 {{B}} Richard:{{/B}} In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I can't help saying inwardly: Hello, cigarette, my old friend, I'm coming to meet you again.{{B}} Stanton:{{/B}} Many people believe smokers have the fight to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldn't have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. We're talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if you're talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, it's 100 times greater.{{B}} Davis:{{/B}} According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. That's 3, 000 lung cancer deaths, 11, 000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120, 000.{{B}} James:{{/B}} Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's indoor air program's result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. We've seen that again and again wherever we've looked all over the United States.{{B}} Winston:{{/B}} Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations. Now match each of the items(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement Note: There are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}} [A] Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death.

填空题Erum Nadeem: Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding-only happiness. Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have beer, more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of "gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik: Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of wellbeing. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer: At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, 1 appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are ofter hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Statements A．A rich person is not necessarily happy. B．Things people often overlook may be the very. source of happiness C．Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D．We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E．Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F．The environment is a source of happiness. G．Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, for five questions, match each rule(1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. Mr. Zhao: Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate. We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. What I ' m looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple, understandable language. I' m also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them. If they do have good communication skills, they will be able to do this logically and briefly.Mr. Qian: I'm looking for creativity. I will ask some odd questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations-can they be creative with their answers.'? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problem - solving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them.Mr. Sun: What we look for most are personal qualities—assertiveness, ambition, and a competitive instinct. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume. How they present their experiences is often very informative. All of these things describe the person in someway.Mr. Li: Speaking of personal quality, I'm looking for a person of integrity. He should be loyal and honest even when things are not in his favor. He will not blame others for his mistakes, even when he might avoid trouble by doing so. A person of integrity will never sacrifice friends or the interests of the company. Of course, it' s not so easy to tell one' s uprightness from one interview, but I can get some hint from the experiences he presented. To be frank, I don' t generally like to hire a person who jumps from job to job every one or two years.Mr. Wang: Under similar working and educational background, a person with good manners will be preferred. Good manners can be judged from his dress and the way he talks. For example, wearing a gray or blue suit and a nice red or yellow silk tie with blue dots or possibly a stripe. This is the way people want you to look in business. Besides, one' s hairstyle, beards, and shoes can also give way something. During interview, a person who keeps establishing eye contact with the interviewer and smiling not only shows he is confident but he is a man of good manners. Now match each of' the schools to the appropriate statement. Note. there are two extra statements.[A] From their response to my odd and tough questions, I can tell whether they' re creative enough.[B] The candidates who showed their strong desire for the job will most probably be employed.[C] A person who can express his ideas clearly shows his good communicative skill.[D] Proper wearing and decent manners will leave a good impression on the interviewers.[E] The interviewer' s application and resume can provide some information about their personal qualities.[F] Loyalty and honesty are valuable virtues I seek in a candidate.[G] A person with high professional skill is preferred.
