Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or
phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that
best fits the context.
(A)
Have you
ever regretted doing something you shouldn’t have done or something you didn’t
do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There’s
no 51 in getting depressed about it now — it’s
no 52 crying over spilt (溢出的) milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly
what happened and why 53 we might be able to draw some conclusions
for the future.
One thing
we all do now and again is to lose our 54 with a friend or close relative. The odd
thing is that we more often display great 55 towards someone we are fond of than
towards 56 . The explanation may be that we see
friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to 57 a bit of steam in a safe environment,
while the consequences (后果)
of 58 a stranger could be far more
serious.
Being
honest is usually thought of as a virtue（美德）and undoubtedly this is the 59
. On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions when we have
spoken our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then have
found ourselves filled with feelings of 60 . Perhaps we should have kept our
mouths shut?
51. A. reason
B. purpose
C. point
D. result
52. A. use
B. help
C. value
D. benefit
53. A. so
B. because
C. but
D. though
54. A. mind
B. memory
C. manner
D. temper
55. A. anger
B. interest
C. love
D. respect
56. A. strangers
B. friends
C. relatives
D. colleagues
57. A. run through
B. throw away
C. give up
D. let off
58. A. inviting
B. insulting
C. speaking to
D. believing in
59. A. issue
B. case
C. event
D. factor
60. A. excitement
B. happiness
C. pride
D. guilt
(B)
Several factors
make a good newspaper story. First — obviously — it must be new. But
since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for 61 . They usually respond to it in one
of three ways.
l
By providing 62 detail, comment or background
information.
l
By finding a new 63 on the day’s major stories.
l
By printing completely different
stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.
What else? Well
— it also has to be 64 . People don’t want to read about
ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many stories 65 some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much
news seems to be 66 news. “Plane lands safely — no-one hurt”
doesn’t sell newspapers. “Plane 67 — 200 feared dead!” does.
Next, there’s
human interest. People are interested in other 68 — particularly in the rich, famous and
powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models,
politicians, 69
, all appear regularly in certain newspapers.
Finally, for
many editors, 70 is an important factor, too. They prefer
stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That’s why the
stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are
often very different from the stories printed in
Paris,
Cairo, New
York or
Buenos
Aires.
61. A. newspapers
B. publications
C. reporters
D. broadcasters
62. A. extra
B. available
C. inaccessible
D. memorable
63. A. direction
B. look
C. angle
D. section
64. A. tragic
B. dramatic
C. professional
D. sensitive
65. A. quote
B. neglect
C. increase
D. involve
66. A. good
B. bad
C. exciting
D. informative
67. A. crashes
B. bumps
C. strikes
D. drops
68. A. places
B. people
C. things
D. news
69. A. in addition
B. in any case
C. for example
D. after all
70. A. personality
B. similarity
C. uniqueness
D. familiarity
V. Reading
Comprehension
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information
given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The wedding
took place in a Birmingham hotel. The
bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father
looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk
wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a
room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first
time.
Carla
Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition. The
aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without
having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV
salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar
“experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham,
England.
Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio.
They took a lie detector
(测谎仪) test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about
their personalities. The competition judges included an astrologer（占星家）who declared that they were suited.
The couple
celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in
the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine’s mother looked
anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s parents are reported to be less
than delighted.
Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have
criticized the marriage. As one person put it, “We have enough problems getting
young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be
about love.”
The couple
are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by
journalists. Their other prizes include a year’s free use of a wonderful
apartment in the centre of Birmingham, and a car.
But will it last?

the wedding?

mother shared their joy.

father felt uncomfortable about the wedding.

bridegroom’s parents were quite delighted.

each other first ends up in divorce
B.
young people nowadays are too careless about marriage
C. taking a lie detector test can not solve all the marriage
problems
D. most young people take marriage seriously except this
couple
73. One of the prizes for the couple is
______.
A. to
spend their honeymoon wherever they like B. to use an apartment free for
some time
C. to
have a wedding dress free
D. to own an American sports car
74. Which of the following is the best title
of the passage?
A. Two
Strangers and a Wedding

C. A
Short-Lived Marriage
D. A Well-Matched Couple
(B)
In July 1994 Jupiter, the
largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet
(彗星). When the
fragments (碎片) landed in the
southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists
here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a
comet?
The year is
2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of
it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part
of the Earth. The news has caused panic.
On 17 July,
a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a huge
explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives
and hits the South
Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.
The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water
rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour.
Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are
drowned. The wave moves into the Indian
Ocean and heads towards
Asia.
Millions of
people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won’t
escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the
explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the
world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight
for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million
people have survived.
Could it
really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of
the Earth. The dinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years
ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by
a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold climate that
followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
75. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author’s
description of the disaster in 2094?
A. The whole world becomes extremely cold.
B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed.
C. The whole mankind becomes extinct.
D. The visit of the comet results in wars.
76. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at
the end of the passage?
A. Because they could only live in the warm climate.
B. Because they
once dominated the earth.
C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.
D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.
77. In writing the passage, the author
intends to _____.
A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the
future
B. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed
C. tell the historical development of the Earth
D. warn of a possible disaster in the future
78. It can be concluded that the passage is
most probably part of a(n) _____.
A. horror story
B. news report
C. research paper
D. article of popular science
(C)
Passport
Control
If you are arriving at London
Heathrow Airport and are not transferring (转换) to another flight outside
Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs (海关) immediately after leaving
your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Community, you
must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is
called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to
London.
After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs.
Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is
one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel
marked “Other Passports”.
Baggage Reclaim ( 行李领取 ) Area
After passing through Passport
Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which
was carried in the aircraft along with other cargo, it will be delivered to you
in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you
have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to
Customs.
Customs
All passengers must pass
through Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels, Green
and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you
are not sure about your Duty Free
allowances (免税额), or if you have something to
declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowances can
be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study
this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not.
Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped and
asked to open your luggage for inspection.

Heathrow
Airport for a

(D)
Professor Reason recently
persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two
weeks. When he came to analyse their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to
find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.
One of the
women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog
her ear-rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for
this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People
programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman’s
custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her
ear-rings. But somehow the action got reversed（颠倒）in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the
volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.”
Twenty per cent of
all errors were “test failures” — primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body
was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back
yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them on — much to his
surprise. A woman victim reported: “I got into the bath with my socks on.”
The commonest
problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people
whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid
something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.
The research so far suggests that while the “central processor” of the
brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practised routine, it
must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check
that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be “captured” by
another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing
errors.
82. The purpose of Professor Reason’s
research is _____.
A. to show the difference between men and women in their
reasoning
B. to classify and explain some errors in human actions
C. to find the causes which lead to computer failures
D. to compare computer functions with brain workings
83. Which of the following might be grouped
under “programme assembly failures”?
A. A woman went
into a shop and forgot what to buy.
B. A man
returning home after work left his key in the lock.
C. A lady fell
as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.
D. An old man,
with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.
84. The word “verifying” in paragraph
3 can be replaced by _____.
A.
improving
B. changing
C. checking
D. stopping
85. According to the passage, the
information “storage failures” refer to _____.
A. the
destruction of information collecting system
B. the
elimination of one’s total memory
C. the temporary
loss of part of one’s memory
D. the separation of one’s action from consciousness
