填空题{{B}}Section A{{/B}} Instructions: There are 5 blanks in the passage. For each blank, some letters of the word have been given (not exceeding 3 letters). Read the passage below and decide which word best fits each blank, using only one word in each blank. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Many people make corn {{U}}(71) {{/U}} about their working environment. Those in open-plan offices often dislike the noise and especially the lack of privacy. Making telephone calls where con {{U}}(72) {{/U}} information is discussed is almost impossible and it may also be difficult to concentrate when the person sitting next to you is on the phone. However, the division of the workspace into smaller offices can lead to a feeling of isolation. An alternative approach is needed to so {{U}}(73) {{/U}} these problems. Why not allow people to choose to work in dif {{U}}(74) {{/U}} places according to what they are doing--a coffee bar or meeting room for social and noisy activities, or a small room for quiet work? The idea of individual desks would disappear in this system and be rep {{U}}(75) {{/U}} by a different approach to using space.

填空题 Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word in three ways: according to the context ; using the correct form of the given words; according to the given letters of the words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Excessive sugar has a strong mal-effect on the functioning of active o{{U}} (66) {{/U}} such as the heart, kidneys and the brain. Shipwrecked sailors who ate and drank nothing but sugar for nine days surely went {{U}}(67) {{/U}} some of this trauma. This incident occurred when a vessel carrying a ca{{U}} (68) {{/U}} of sugar was shipwrecked in 1793. The five {{U}}(69) {{/U}} (survive) sailors were finally rescued nine days after the accident. They were in a wasted condition due to starvation, having consumed nothing but {{U}}(70) {{/U}} French physiologist F. Magendie was inspired by that incident to co{{U}} (71) {{/U}} a series of experiments with an{{U}} (72) {{/U}} In the experiments, he fed dogs a diet of sugar and water. All the dogs wasted and died. The shipwrecked sailors and the French physiologist' s experimental dogs proved the same point. As a steady diet, sugar is worse than nothing. Plain water can keep you a{{U}} (73) {{/U}} for quite some time. Sugar and water can kill you. Humans and animals are "unable to subsist {{U}}(74) {{/U}} a diet of sugar". The dead dogs in Professor Magendie's {{U}}(75) {{/U}}la alerted the sugar industry to the hazards of free scientific inquiry. From that day to this, the sugar industry has invested millions of dollars in behind-the-scenes, subsidized science. The best scientific names that money could buy have been hired, in the hope that they could one day come up with something at least pseudoscientific in the way of glad tidings about sugar. It has been proved, however, that (1) sugar is a major factor in dental decay; (2) sugar in a person's diet does cause {{U}}(76) {{/U}} (weight); (3) removal of sugar from diets can c{{U}} (77) {{/U}} symptoms of crippling, worldwide diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart illnesses. Sir Frederick Banting noticed in 1929 that, among sugar {{U}}(78) {{/U}} (plant) owners who ate large amounts of their refined stuff, diabetes was common. Among native cane-critters, who only got to chew the r{{U}} (79) {{/U}} cane, he saw no diabetes. However, the story of the public relations attempts on the part of the sugar manufacturers began in Britain in 1808 when the Committee of West India reported to the House of Commons that a prize of twenty-five guineas had been of{{U}} (80) {{/U}} to anyone who could come up with the most "satisfactory" experiments to prove that unrefined sugar was good for feeding and fattening oxen, cows, hogs and sheep. Naturally, the attempt was a disaster.

填空题It is a fairly common 1 in Britain that men these days do believe more housework than they did in previous generations. But is this really so? A recent survey has made some interesting discoveries. 2 , when men do help out, they enjoy cooking and shop apparent ping but most are 3 to doing the washing. A quarter of men willing think that women are better suited to looking after the home than men and 19% admit to 4 no contribution to housework. The average man says make that he does a 5 of the housework, while the average woman three says she does three-quarters of it, so someone isn"t telling the truth! It was im- possible to find any men who shared housework equally with their partners. Per- haps it is not so surprising, therefore, that there are some politicians who want a new law forcing men to do their share.

填空题A collision between an aircraft and one or more birds is termed a bird-strike. Pilots sometimes record a birdstrike while at cruising altitudes, but most of them happen when an aircraft is relatively close to the ground, usually in proximity to an airport and during the circling, descent to land or take-off phases of a flight. Birdstrikes may cause significant damage to an aircraft and/or, if the birds are ingested into a jet engine, a significant and sudden loss of power. If this were to happen during take-off or initial climb of a fully loaded passenger aircraft the results could be catastrophic-loss of the aircraft and the lives of those on board. Any bird is a potential hazard to aircraft and this is especially true as bird numbers and bird size increase. Unfortunately airports themselves can be attractive to birds-rodents, insects and other small animals are a food source often found in flat grassed areas such as the runway strips. Even so, this problem can be reduced by careful habitat management or bird harassment techniques practised by airport maintenance and safety personnel. Care needs to be taken by local authorities in deciding the location of rubbish tips, or when permitting other land uses that may be attractive to birds in this way. Of course these effects cannot always be anticipated with certainty since birds such as gnus have been recorded as travelling 50 kilometres or more from their roosting area to an attractive food source. Local authority planning schemes often apply strict controls on developments such as abattoirs, cattle feed lots, grain handling, piggeries, canals and marina developments, fish farms, and suchlike. In most cases these uses will not be permitted without a full environmental study. That study should be required to deal with the question of likely bird hazards if the proposed location is in proximity to an airport. In some instances it may be necessary to consider ways of managing a particular land use in order to reduce its attractiveness to birds, for example the adoption of land-fill measures at garbage tips, or enclosed rather than open-air activity. Specialist ornithological opinion may be necessary. In such cases it may not be possible to implement immediate changes in land use, but this should not inhibit the adoption of long-term measures which are designed to achieve this. Summary: A collision between an aircraft and one or more birds is known as a bird strike. It usually happens when an aircraft is close 1 , and may result in significant damage of the aircraft or loss of the aircraft and 2 of passengers and crew if they occur during take-off or initial climb. Because birds can find plenty food in flat grassed areas, airports are especially attractive to birds. However, the danger can be minimized by 3 . Local authorities need to take care when deciding on 4 . It is suggested that a full environmental stud should be made before making plans of developments on the land in proximity to an airport. Local authorities should get advice from specialists and take 5 in order to bring about changes in land use.

填空题Bush Concerned about Rising Gas Prices President Bush says a variety of global forces are to blame for crude oil prices topping ＄70 a barrel. "There is a tight supply worldwide, and we have got an increasing demand from countries like India and China, which means that, any disruption in supply, or perceived disruption of supply, is going to cause the price of crude to go up, and that affects the price of gasoline," he said. The president says prices are also up due to increasing domestic demand, as Americans are driving more, now that the cold winter weather is ending, and because states are switching their fuel-mix to a warmer-weather blend. "The combination of these changes creates higher gasoline prices, and I am concerned about higher gasoline prices. I am concerned about what it means for working families and small businesses, and I am also mindful that the government has the responsibility to make sure that we watch very carefully, and investigate possible price-gauging, and we will do just that," added President Bush. The price of crude hit a new record, eclipsing the previous mark set last August, when Hurricane Katrina disrupted production in the Gulf of Mexico. Analysts blame some of the current price hikes on worries about global instability in oil-producing regions, including ethnic violence in Nigeria and the dispute over Iran enriching uranium. Tehran says its nuclear program is meant to produce electricity. President Bush says the world's fourth largest oil producer is secretly developing a nuclear weapons program. Taking questions from reporters in the White House Rose Garden, Mr. Bush said he will discuss the issue in talks Thursday at the White House with Chinese President Hu Jintao. "We want to solve this issue diplomatically, and we are working hard to do so," he said. "The best way to do so is, therefore, to make a united effort with countries who recognize the danger of Iran having a nuclear weapon." The International Atomic Energy Agency reports back to the U. N. Security Council about Iran next week. If the country does not stop enriching uranium, the Bush administration is expected to call for economic sanctions. Iran says no amount of pressure will force it to abandon its nuclear program. Tehran's Foreign Ministry dismissed talks among the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany, saying their Moscow meeting is more important to the participants than it is to Iran. White House officials say President Bush is skeptical about being able to resolve the dispute peacefully. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says any aggressor would regret attacking his country, because he says Iran has a powerful army.

填空题There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They "see" with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety. Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months! Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital. Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared. Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches "learn" how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or "learn" how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us. It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here. Answer the following questions according to the passage.
