Section A

Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the

blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically

correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each

blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other

blanks, use one word that best fits each II9t

(A>

To be a successful speaker is no easy thing. It is

essential for you to know why you are speaking and 25

you wish to accomplish by your speech. The four most common

purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to

action, and to entertain. Do you, like a teacher or an

expert in a field, wish to illustrate your ideas in detail

to people unfamiliar with your subjectTexyhMII9t

26 they can understand your ideas clearly and

thoroughly? Or, like a debater, wish to convince the judges

or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist

foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-

dinner speaker, wish to entertain? The language and tone you

use 27 be proper for your purpose, for your audience,

and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will

have quite different language, tone and manner from

Furthermore, 29 talented the speaker is, a talk

without enough preparation is usuallyTexyhMII9t

30 failure. To speak without preparing is to shoot

without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is;

then state it in a complete topic sentence. Make sure that

DC Hilton was one of the first Americans to find out

that there was money to be made in the middle of the night.

47 years ago he bought a small restaurant on US highway 69,

Over the years his simple burger café has been expanded

35 a 24-hour roadside empire, with a 100-seat restaurant,

a petrol station, a mini shopping market, a car park for

mobile homes and all-night self-help laundry. TexyhMII9t

Hilton was a pioneer in a 24-hour working trend, 36

has now caught on around the world. Today not only

restaurants but also banks, supermarkets, mail-order firms,

travel agencies and many other businesses are beginning to

be open all night. But is this really a good

thing?TexyhMII9t

So far, a lot of research 37 (do> in America on the

effect of 24-hour working, and there is growing concern

about the long-term dangers of a society that doesn’t sleep.

Americans are said to be sleeping 20% less than 38 did

100 years ago, and 55% claim to suffer at least occasionally

from over-tiredness. Several of the 39 (bad> man-made

There is a tendency to think of each of the arts as a

separate area of activity. Many artists, however, would

prove that there has always been a warm relationship between

the 41 areas of human activity. For example, in the late

nineteenth century the connections between music and

painting were 42 close. zhucanqi Artists were invited to

design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, but

sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work

of 43 painters. Of the musical compositions that were

considered as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most

famous is Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an II9t

Mussorgsky 44 the piece in 1874 after the death, at

the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann. Though their

friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one,

Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmann’s 45 death. The

following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, who decided to

hold an exhibition of Hartmann’s work, suggested that

Mussorgsky try to 46 his grief by writing something in

47 of II9t

The exhibition served as Mussorgsky’s inspiration. The

ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition are 48

as symbols rather than representations of the paintings in

the exhibition. Between each is a promenade <舞曲中的行进）,

as the composer walks from one painting to another. The

music is sometimes witty and playful, sometimes almost

alarming and frightening. Through a range of surprising

Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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

The term home schooling means educating children at home

or in places other than a normal setting such as a public or

private school. These days, homeschooling in America is

Teaching methods at homeschooling 52 . Some parents

follow a strict timetable andTexyhMII9t

53 a traditional school environment. Other parents

follow an extreme form of homeschooling in which they do not

give grades or tests and allow their children to study

wherever they want. More parents, however, follow the middle

54 to provide a balance between freedom and

II9t

Why do parents choose homeschooling? Some believe that

children in public schools experience too much “peer

pressure”, or social pressure from friends. They say it may

have aTexyhMII9t

55 effect on the child’s studies. Other parents are

dissatisfied with the quality of education in the public

school. About half the parents who teach at home are 56

motivated and use lessons by mail or Internet from church

schools. Whatever the 57 may be, it is evident that more

and more children are being taken out of normal schools

8 / 31

every year. 58 , many questions have emerged, encouraging

the debate over home schooling against public

II9t

What then is the future of education? Although children

often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states

mean that officials rarely challenge or 59 parents who

say they are home-schooling. As the 60 continues, so do

the questions about what home schoolers are studying at home.

How can parents ensure that their children are prepared

academically for college? How are home schoolers 61 to

make sure they are getting the same educational standards

that school students must have? Recent studies in the United

States have shown that homeschooled children tend to be

slightly better in subjects like English and art, but they

are obviously lessTexyhMII9t

regarding the children’s emotional development. Are they

Directions: Read the following three 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 II9t

“It seems likely that a caged elephant would miss the

wilderness it was born into.” a six-year study

British and Canadian scientists studied 4,500 elephants

in European zoos and compared them with elephants living in

the wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live

longer and reproduce more than those elephants in

II9t

When it comes to living in a zoo, “many species do well

but elephants don’t,” said Georgia Mason, one of the

researchers of the study. Many animals live longer in zoos

than they do in the wild. This isn’t surprising when you

consider that zoo animals are not threatened by predators

(掠食者>, always have plenty to eat, P.F. Productions and

have professionals on hand to care for II9t

When it comes to elephants, however, the situation is

different. The world’s largest land animals live much

longer in the wild than they do in II9t

Female African elephants born in zoos live on average for

17 years, while those in the wild make it to 56. “So far,”

says Mason, “We’ve got 300 African elephants in zoos in

Europe, and not one’s yet reached 50.”TexyhMII9t

Asian elephants are the more endangered of the two

elephant species. They live for about 19 years in captivity

elephants have even made it into their 70s. In Kenya, 30 to

Fatness and stress are likely causes for the giant land

animals’ early death in captivity, Mason II9t

The researchers say that zoos do not offer enough space

for animals that can travel as far as 48 kilometers a day.

Too little exercise and too much food means captive

elephants put on extra weight. The weight gain can lead to

heart disease and other health II9t

Being “caged” is bad for health, not only for elephants,

but also for humans. Be careful not to become a “caged

elephant”!TexyhMII9t

reasons EXCEPT that ________. A. they are far away

B. they can be in a better mood there.

C. they needn’t worry about their food at all.

Women’s minds work differently from men’s.

Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of failure

or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this field,

and some of them have found that there are real differences

between the brains of men and women. But being different,

they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or

II9t

There is, however, a definite structural variation

between the male and female brain. The difference is in a

part of the brain that is used in the most complex

intellectual processes—the link between the two halves of

the II9t

The two halves are linked by a trunkline (主干线> of

between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum.

Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus

14 / 31

callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in

nerve fibres (纤维> than it is in men. This is the first

time that a structural difference has been found between the

brains of women and men and it must have some significance.

The question is “What?”, and if this difference exists,

are there others? Research shows that present-day women

think differently and behave differently from men. Are some

of these differences biological and inborn, a result of

evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society

that produces these differences. But could we be

wrong?TexyhMII9t

Research showed that these two halves of the brain had

different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled

them to work together. The better the connections, the more

harmoniously the two halves work. Usually, women have the

better II9t

But it isn’t all that easy to explain the actual

differences between the skills of men and women on this

basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be

better than boys at “language subjects” and boys better at

math. If these differences correspond (相符合> with the

differences in the trunkline, there is an unchangeable

distinction between the II9t

We shan’t know for a while, partly because we don’t

know of the exact relationship between abilities in school

subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain.

And we cannot understand how the two halves interact through

the corpus callosum. But one thing is certain: nothing in

our world is still—even scientific II9t

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for

Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the

Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming

more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from

the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat.

“They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So

although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie
