填空题High Dropout Rate in US Many young people in the United States never finish high school. Exactly how many dropouts is another issue. Recent studies of dropout rates have had conflicting results. For one thing, schools define and measure their dropout rates differently. Some researchers say about fifteen to twenty percent of public school students do not complete their education. But many other experts and policymakers believe that for the past twenty years, the dropout rate has been around thirty percent. For Latino and black students, the numbers are even higher. Researchers say almost half of them leave school. At the Baltic time, almost half the states let students leave school before the age of eighteen without informing their parents. Finding a good job without a hilgh school education is more and more difficult. A Northeastern University study in 2002 found that almost half of all dropouts aged sixteen to twenty-four did not have a job. The lack of high school education can also lead to other problems. An estimated two-thirds of prisoners in the United States dropped out of high school. Recent studies have shown that the majority of students who drop out do not do it because they are failing. Many are bored with their classes or feel disconnected from their school and teachers. Some students feel that educators place low expectations on them. Teen pregnancies also add to the dropout problem. During the past twenty years, there have been efforts to increase graduation rate through education reforms. Some communities are working on dropout prevention programs. These include alternative high schools to meet special needs. Some programs, for example, provide free transportation and childcare to help young mothers and fathers finish school. Yet special programs can cost a lot, and many school systems have limited budgets. Federal spending on second-chance programs to help students finish school has decreased from the 1970s. This was shown in a report last year from the Educational Testing Service. Experts suggest "early warning systems" to help identify young schoolchildren at risk of dropping out of high school. They say schools also need to get parents more involved, especially if their children are missing school often.

填空题As every schoolboy knows, insects pollinate flowers, while birds and mammals disperse seeds by eating fruits or transporting burs on their feathers and fur. These are examples of co-evolution, a phenomenon first described by Charles Darwin in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, published in 1871. Co-evolution, in which two species have evolved together in response to adaptations that each has imposed on the other, can be extremely subtle. For instance, some animals may help to transfer pollen from one plant to another without acting directly as the carrier themselves. Instead, they make it easier for the pollen to be dispersed by other creatures. Mats Olsson and Richard Shine, of the University of Sydney, and Elisabeth Bak-Olsson, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, have discovered, apparently for the first time, such a mutually beneficial arrangement between a reptile and a plant. For most of the year the Tasmanian snow skink lizard confined to mountain tops in that island is catholic in what it eats. But when the honey-bush is in bloom, the skinks make a point of tearing off the tough, red petals that enclose the rest of the flower. They chew them to extract the nectar and spit out what is left. At first sight, this skink-savaging may not seem all that helpful to the honey- bush. But it is. It exposes the reproductive parts of the flowers, thereby allowing pollinating insects to get at them. Dr. Olsson and his colleagues found that flowers with the petals left intact never produced seed. But, according to their paper in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 87% of flowers with the petals torn off did so. To check that it was the skinks alone that were the plants' little helpers, the researchers placed cages around some honey-bushes. Virtually all of the petals were removed from the flowers on bushes without cages. Only 16% of the caged bushes had their petals ripped off, possibly by high winds battering them. Dr Olsson found no evidence of pollen being carried on a skink and so concluded that the lizards play no role in transporting honey-bush pollen from one flower to another. But he did see a range of insects: wasps, flies, bumble-bees and others feeding from honey-bush flowers that had no petals covering them. Without the petals removed, it was impossible for insects to do any pollinating. SUMMARY: Co-evolution is (51) described by Charles Darwin in The Descent of Man. In the process of co-evolution, two species may have to respond to adaptations they have imposed on each other. For example, some animals may not carry. (52) from one plant to another. They may help by making it easier for other creatures to disperse the pollen from one plant to another. Such an arrangement seems (53) to both species. In Tasmania, the skink lizards chew the red petals of (54) and spit out what is left. In doing so, they expose the reproductive parts of the flower and enable pollinating insects to reach them. It was discovered that 87% of these flowers produced seeds. Conversely, flowers with petals remaining (55) never did.

填空题In this section, you will hear a short passage. There are 10 missing words or phrases. Fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear on the tape. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Notetaking is a complex activity that requires a high level of ability in many separate skills. Firstly, the student has to understand what the Example lecturer says as he says it. A non-native speaker may find himself unable to recognize words {{U}}(21) {{/U}} which he understands straight away {{U}}(22) {{/U}}. And he might also find himself failing to infer the meaning of some totally new words out of {{U}}(23) {{/U}} All that he needs to do, however, is to concentrate on the important points, which would allow him to understand much of the lecture. How to decide what' s important, then? The {{U}}(24) {{/U}} of a lecture, which often implies many of the {{U}}(25) {{/U}} to be covered, is probably the most important piece of information. The student should make sure that he writes the title down. A good lecturer might {{U}}(26) {{/U}} tell his audience what is important, or he might give {{U}}(27) {{/U}} pause or speak slowly or speak loudly or use a greater range of intonation. The third basic skill is to write down the main points quickly and clearly. It is helpful to {{U}}(28) {{/U}} and select only those words that give {{U}}(29) {{/U}} information, nouns mostly, sometimes verbs or adjectives. Choosing the right moment to write is very difficult. Connecting words are quite helpful here. {{U}}(30) {{/U}} like "moreover", "furthermore", "also" indicate that it's safe to write, whereas "however", "on the other hand" or "nevertheless" suggest that new information is going to follow and that it's more appropriate to listen.

填空题Heartbeat of America New York- the Statue of Liberty, the skyscrapers, the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue and the many theaters on Broadway. This is America's cultural capital. It is also her biggest city, with a population of nearly 8 million. In the summer it is hot, hot, hot and in the winter it can be very cold. Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}When people say "New York City", they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops, buildings and museums are here. In addition, Manhattan is the scene of New York's busy night life. In 1605, the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $26 today. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}It is also the most important banking center in the woad. It is a street of "skyscrapers". These are those incredible, high buildings, which Americans invented, and built faster and higher than anyone else. Perhaps the two most spectacular skyscrapers in New York are the two towers of the New York World Trade Center. When the sun sets," their 110 floors shine like pure gold. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}Traffic jams can be terrible. It's usually quickest to go by subway. The New York subway is easy to use and quite cheap. The subway goes to almost every corner of Manhattan. But it is not safe to take the subway late at night because in some places you could get robbed. New York buses are also easy to use. You see more if you go by bus. There are more than 30, 000 taxis in New York. Taxis do not go outside the city. However, they will go to the airports. In addition to the taxi fare, people give the taxi driver a tip of 15 percent of the fare's value. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}It is surprisingly big, with lakes and woods, as well as organized recreation areas. New Yorkers love Central Park, and they use it all the time: In the winter, they go ice-skating, and in the summer roller-skating. They play ball, ride horses and have picnics. They go bicycling and boating. There is even a children's zoo, with wild birds and animals. Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue, once called "Millionaire's Row." In the 19th century, the richest men in America built their magnificent homes here. It is still the most fashionable street in the city, with famous department stores. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters. Their plays are called "off-Broad-way" and are often more unusual than the Broadway shows. As well as many theaters, New York has a famous opera house. This is the Metropolitan, where international stars sing from September until April. Carnegie Hall is the city's more popular concert hall. But night life in New York offers more than classical music and theater. There are hundreds of nightclubs where people go to eat and dance. A. Broadway is the street where you will find New York's best-known theaters. B. Manhattan is a rich city. C. Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system. D. Central Park is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of New York's concrete desert. E. Two towers of the New York World Trade Center are spectacular. F. Manhattan is the real center of the city. G. Wall Street in Manhattan is the financial heart of the USA.

填空题Most children at the tender age of six or so are full of the most impractical schemes for becoming policemen, firemen or train drivers when they grow up. When I was that age, however, I could not be bothered with such mundane ambitions, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I was going to have my own zoo. At the time, this did not seem to me, and still does not seem, a very unreasonable idea. My friends and relatives, who had long found me strange because I showed little interest in anything that did not have fur or feathers, accepted this as just another manifestation of my strangeness. They felt that, if they ignored my often-repeated remarks about owning my own zoo, I would eventually grow out of it. As the years passed, however, to the bewilderment of my friends and relatives, my resolve to have my own zoo grew increasingly stronger, and eventually, after going on a number of expeditions to bring back animals for other zoos, I felt the time was ripe to acquire my own. From my latest trip to West Africa, I had brought back a considerable collection of animals which were living, temporarily I assured her, in my sister's suburban garden in Bournemouth. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to convince local councils in various areas to support my plans, I began to investigate the possibility of starting my zoo on the island of Jersey in the English Channel. I was given all introduction to a man named Hugh Fraser who, I was told, was a broad-minded, kindly soul. He would show me around the island and point out suitable sites. So, I flew to Jersey and was met by Hugh Fraser who drove us to his family home, probably one of the most beautiful old houses on the island. There was a huge walled garden with lots of outbuildings all built in the beautiful local stone which was the colour of autumn leaves glowing in the sunshine. Turning to my wife, I said, "What a marvelous place for a zoo!" If my host had promptly fainted on the spot, I could not have blamed him. The thought of creating the average person's idea of a zoo, with all the grey cement and iron bars, in such a lovely spot was horrible. To my astonishment, however, Hugh Fraser did not faint, but merely cocked an enquiring eyebrow at me and asked whether I really meant what I said. Slightly embarrassed, I replied that I had meant it, but added hastily that I realized that it was impossible. Hugh said he did not think it was as impossible as all that. He went on to explain that the house and grounds were too big for him to keep up as a private individual, and so he wanted to move to a smaller place in England. Would I care to consider renting the property for the purpose of establishing my zoo? I could Not imagine more attractive surroundings for my purpose, and by the time lunch was over, the bargain had been sealed. The alarm displayed by all who knew me when this was announced can only be imagined. The only exception to the general chorus of disapproval was my sister. Although she thought it a mad scheme, at least it would rid her back garden of the assorted jungle creatures who were beginning to put great strain on her relationship with her neighbours. Answer the questions in maximum of fifteen words.

填空题Almost no one can truly resist something sweet; that might be why people find it so difficult to say no to dessert. In a city whose native cuisine emphasizes sweet flavours, the popularity of desserts seems reasonable. The exotic delicacies have tempting appearances and please the palate craving a taste of something sweet. On a casual afternoon, when roaming Raffles City in People's Square, I walked into a newly opened, lovely dessert restaurant. The restaurant, named Bakerzin and decorated in a warm red colour, has a large semicircular glass counter of various kinds of dessert cakes at its front. Sometimes the product is the best advertisement, especially when it comes to dessert. Even though some look better than they taste, most desserts can capture my interest by their splendid looks. I ordered seven different kinds of desserts, including four tapas, two ice creams and a sorbet. These can be served in different combinations according to diners' preference. The seven-one combination cost me 10.5 dollars. The raspberry panna cotta served in a small cup was my favourite because of its proper sweetness and strong creamy flavour. It tasted very much like a pudding combining milky ingredients and eggs; it was soft and easily melted in the mouth. The raspberry topping mixed with the pudding for a bit of sourness that was delectable. Compared to the other desserts, it was not as sweet but was milder and pleasant. The only hot dessert I had there was the banana pizza with cinnamon cream, a delicate portion and presentation. The triangle-shaped pizza was made of baked crumbs and topped with hot banana slices and a mint leaf for decoration. It was very crispy and sweet. Even sweeter was the chocolate & caramel ice cream with flee crispie, served in a decorative glass cup which wobbled playfully on the table. The two ice creams were topped with nuts and had a lovely presentation but an overpowering sweetness. In a comparison, the Coupe Black Forest was a nicer dessert which also contains chocolate ice cream. It tasted somewhat hitter, possibly due to the coffee ingredients, which blended well with the sweetness. I ordered two cups of ice cream in Bakerzin, green tea and black sesame flavours--both pleasant and refreshing. The black sesame ice cream is worthy of more recommendation because it was said to be prepared by the restaurant with its own secret recipe and the flavour was quite natural, not too sweet and well scented with sesame. It was a challenge to try and judge seven different kinds desserts at the same time since my taste buds eventually became overworked. My stomach was just too full to contain those charming cakes shown in the glass counter which I originally planned to try!

填空题{{B}}Section C{{/B}} Directions: You are going to read an article. Seven sentences have been removed from it. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each group. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Memories of a Man I Won't Forget! I wish you'd meet my Uncle Bill. He was a tall man—so tall that he could change the bulbs in light sockets while hardly reaching above his head. He said that he wasn't supposed to reach up—it was something to do with a heart condition—and that being tall made life much easier. {{U}}(64) {{/U}} Those accessible bulbs were an easy target for that lofty, blundering head of his. I realized from the start that his problem was not so much tallness as clumsiness. He blundered into anything and everything and often had injuries (though not in fact burns) to prove how accident-prone he was. A miserly man, my uncle always stuck replacement soles on his shoes as the old ones wore through, no matter how shabby the uppers became—or bow badly he injured himself in the process. {{U}}(65) {{/U}} Well, strictly it wasn't the sticking that did it but the razor blade adjustments that followed. In his clumsiness, he nearly always stuck the soles slightly out of position. Once firmly glued they couldn't be moved but at least the protruding parts could be neatly trimmed away {{U}}(66) {{/U}}. I can see him now in my mind's eye! There was the sole, slightly out of position, and there was my uncle, his fingers encrusted with firmly set glue. {{U}}(67) {{/U}} Then he'd blunder round his house in search of lint and sticking plasters. Vases would topple, ornaments would get knocked off walls. He lived alone but his frequent visitors were used to the commotion my uncle made as he hurried round his untidy house. {{U}}(68) {{/U}} Even going to answer the phone could cause calamities and a nail of damage. {{U}}(69) {{/U}} No, they were due to injured fingers, banged heads and falls down stairs. As a matter of fact he survived so many serious injuries that in the end I came to doubt that there was anything wrong with his heart at all. {{U}}(70) {{/U}} Sentences: A. I think he preferred to claim a bad heart than admit to bad eyesight or total and utter clumsiness! B. He would set to work with his razor blade. And a minute later we'd hear his cry of pain and frustration. C. My uncle's visits to hospital never resulted from that famous heart condition of his. D. But how could even a clumsy man suffer injuries sticking soles on his shoes? E. And that's where the razor blades come in, and all the consequent injuries to fingers and thumbs. F. However, it also created problems for him. G. The slightest haste was enough to cause an accident. H. You should have seen him when he really got going!
