填空题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 passage 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 man give their leisure. 3. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade 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 to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight 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 there 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. 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. Mountaineering is different from golf and football B. Mountaineering is treated as a team sport C. The requirements needed for climbers D. Many young people enjoy some forms of physical activity E. A mountain climber's skill is not limited by his age F. The reason why people enjoy climbing mountains G. Mountaineering is a sport rather than a game

填空题Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures are painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they want to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found in walls or caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in picture.2. About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the east began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used become a kind of alphabet.3. The Egyptians used to record information and tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic-strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.4. By the year 1000 BC, people who lived in area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the alphabet is now used over the world.5. These days, we can write down a story, or record the information without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.Questions 9-13 For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A~G)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice.A. Picture used to record information and tell story.B. Pictures used as writing and language.C. The old pictures of Egypt.D. People have been painting pictures since long ago.E. Pictures are much more useful these days.F. Pictures developed to a writing system. G Roles pictures played nowadays.

填空题1. Distance education is enrollment and study with an educational institution that provides lesson materials prepared in a sequential and logical order for study by students on their own. When each lesson is completed, the student mails or transmits the assigned work to the institution for correction, grading, comment, and subject matter guidance by qualified instructors. Corrected assignments are returned promptly to the student. This exchange provides a personalized student-teacher relationship. If a student slows his or her pace or fails to send assignments, the school provides encouragement. Although some institutions provide employment placement information and assistance, no reputable school ever guarantees a job to graduates. 2. Distance education and self-study are different. Self-study materials provide no instructional service. Corrected assignments, examinations, and special help provided by a qualified facility are vital to a good learning situation. However, these are not part of self-study. There are many self-study courses and recordings available, and they may have value, but they clearly are not correspondence or distance education courses. Some institutions offer combination courses that provide training-in-residence for students who complete their distance education lessons. In-service or on-the-job training is required or provided with other courses and is a feature of many vocational distance education programs. 3. Quality distance education institutions screen prospective students to assure that only those who can benefit from the courses are enrolled. While there are educational prerequisites for some academic subjects, interest and aptitude are the primary factors leading to success in most distance education courses. Because they provide alternative educational opportunities, distance education institutions try not to deny a prospective student the opportunity to succeed in a course — interest and experience are good indicators of future success. 4. Distance education courses vary greatly in scope, level, and length. Some have few lessons and require only weeks to complete, while others have a hundred or more assignments requiring three or four years of conscientious study. Also, a wide variety of subjects is offered. Subjects include yacht design, accounting, medical transcription, nutrition, robotics, travel agent training, gun repair, gem identification, computer programming, catering and cooking, and earning an entire high school diploma, just to name a few. 5. There is an increasing recognition of "distance education" and many colleges offer credit for their distance learning courses or accept some distance education credits of resident students working toward a degree. In fact, many distance education institutions award their own academic degrees. Acceptance of students and awarding of academic credit is the prerogative of the receiving academic institution. Also, the employing organization may set its own credit acceptance policies. 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 quality of distance education B. Introduction to distance education C. The recognition of distance education D. The problem of distance education E. The difference between distance education and self-study F. The courses of distance education G. People's attitude toward distance education

填空题1. Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project. 2. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want. 3. But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard templates(patterns)into which they plug each day's events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news. 4. There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the "standard templates" of the newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions. 5. Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they're less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community. 6. Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite, so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn't rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers. 7. This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(2-6), mark one letter(A-G)on your Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. A. Reports as social and cultural elite B. Findings of journalism credibility project C. The root of the distrust of the news media D. Distrust in other industries E. Different life style of reporters and common people F. A set of standard templates in the newsroom culture G. A social and cultural disconnect between journalists and readers

填空题1. In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 BC. 2. The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain, but events included boy's gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games. 3. On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modem standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling. 4. After an uninterrupted history of almost 1, 200 years, the Games were suspended by the Romans in 394 AD. They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over 1, 500 years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896. 5. Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athlete's expenses. The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun's rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolizes the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games. 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 famous athletes in the Games B. The origin of Olympic Games C. Honor given to the winners D. Interruption of the Games E. Olympic Games held nowadays F. Hosting countries of the Games G. Spectators and events of the ancient Games

填空题Part 2 Questions 9-18 ·Read the following article and answer questions 9-18 on the next page. Five Tips for Staying Healthy on the Road 1. Don't let illness spoil a great vacation. If you haven't had a tetanus booster within the last 10 years, get one now. If you're planning a trip to the Southern Hemisphere, be aware that peak flu season there is between April and September. Since flu vaccine offers protection for only four months, it makes sense to have another shot six weeks before your trip. 2. Whether you're traveling by plane, train, or automobile, keep a small bag with you that contains essentials you'll need during your trip, including any medications you use. If you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses, pack an extra pair. Keep a copy of prescriptions for both medications and eyeglasses in your wallet. Don't forget insect repellent, sunscreen, aspirin or acetaminophen, soothing eye drops, lip balm, a decongestant for colds or sinus congestion, and an antihistamine to treat allergic reactions and relieve itching. And toss in some antacid tablets for those nights you wake up regretting you ate the whole thing. 3. When you cross multiple time zones by plane, you may find yourself unable to concentrate and out of sync with local time once you reach your destination. This condition, known as jet lag, can leave you worn out for days. According to Patricia M. Young, M.D., medical director of the Medical College of Wisconsin International Travelers Clinic in Milwaukee, the time to start outwitting jet lag is the minute you step on the plane. "Immediately set your watch for the time at your destination," she says. "Then, when you arrive, start on the local time right away and take a walk outside where you'll be exposed to natural light." If you're really tired, lie down for a short, 20-minute nap, just enough to take the edge off your fatigue but not so long that you'll feel groggy for the rest of the day. 4. It can happen during ground, water, or air travel, and, although some people are more prone, no one is immune to motion sickness. Usually the first indication is a vague discomfort, then pallor and sweating. A headache often develops, followed by nausea and vomiting. Since it's easier to prevent the problem before it starts, here are a few ways to combat motion sickness: Eat lightly and don't drink alcohol during travel. Fix your eyes on the horizon or on a stationary point in the distance. Sit in the most stable section of a moving vehicle—irectly over the wings in a plane, in the front seat of a car, amidships on deck, in the first car of a train, or in the midsection of a bus. 5. One of the most worrisome problems for people who are unfortunate enough to get sick during their travels is finding a doctor in a foreign country. The International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (IAMAT), a nonprofit foundation, provides names of member doctors around the world. All of the doctors speak English in addition to their mother tongue and have been trained in a Western country. You can join at no cost. (Although the foundation accepts donations.)
