完形填空

Passage 1
Although international travel is usually an (21)
exciting
and pleasant experience, travellers should take steps to ensure that their
health does not suffer either (22)
from…in…from
their time _____ the air or ______ their time abroad.
Before you go, check with your doctor or local travel clinic (23)
which

injections are necessary for the areas you are travelling
(24)
to
. Allow sufficient time to have these injections before you (25)
leave
because they may take time to become effective. Be
sure that the information on health is up-to-date. Check on the Internet if you are not sure.
Don’t go to
bed late the day (26)
before
_ you fly.


Your body has a natural daily sleep pattern. It takes time to adjust
to a new time zone. There are many different (27)
effects
of
jet lag: you may not be able to sleep, you may not want to eat or you may feel sick and tired. You may not be able to concentrate
for some days after you arrive.
There are several things you can do to (28)
lessen
the effects of jet lag:
－

Do your (29)
best
to relax during the flight;
－

Sleep as much as you can on the flight. Use a mild sleeping pill if necessary;
－

Drink as much water as you can;
－

Don’t drink alcohol and caffeine;

－

Take mild sleeping pills (30)
for
the first few days in the new time zone if you need them.
Passage 2

A study (21)
has shown
that fitness is the key (22)
to
long life, irrespective of body shape or even smoking habits. Researchers
discovered that people (23)
who
exercise live longer than those who do not, (24)
even if
_ they are overweight and smoke.
The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times (25)
more likely
to die within six
years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or (26)
were

overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness
expert, said,
exercising
regularly than being a non-smoker and
sedentary.
it is to be sedentary.
(28)
However
, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die
prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight.


The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers (29)
to reduce
high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the
hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation's health. But the new study suggests the Government (30)
encourage
more people to exercise.
Passage3

More and more people (31)
_have___
to install burglar alarms in their houses if they want to get insurance. Insurance
companies (32)
have been asking
people in certain areas to install the alarms before they will give them insurance for the fast
year. This is (33)
_due___
to increasing crime in some parts of the country. This can be a problem for people (34)
who
are
struggling
to
make
(35)

–

不要填
ends
meet.
The
alarms,
(36)
which

can
be
very
expensive,
need
to
be
installed
by
an
electrician. It is (37)
estimated
that 20% of homes have alarms installed, and that another 20% of people plan (38)
to have them
installed
but have not installed them (39)
yet.
The insurance companies told people (40)
to install
the alarms on all doors and
windows.
Passage4

Traffic in India means a mixture of all kinds of vehicles on the road. About 700,000 new cars
(31)
have been sold

in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many used cars have been traded.
The country's 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the

world's largest two-wheel market.


But
because
there
are
still
big
differences
(32)
___in___

people's
incomes,
the
roads
are
full
of
a
whole
variety
of
(33)

vehicles

, lots of them not motorised.

A ride (34)
with
a taxi driver in New Delhi gives a

flavour of a typical Indian-style
traffic with all kinds of

vehicle held up in city streets or in long lines (35)
on

narrow country lanes. Cars, lorries and buses
back up behind a cart (36)

pulled

by one

animal or another.
have
to
(37)

watch
out
for
pedestrians,
bicycles,
carts,
cows,
donkeys
and
even
elephants.
Three
things
(38)
are
recommended
to
drive
here,
a
horn, brakes and good luck.
Just
then
we
were
stopped
(39)

by

a
young
boy
and
his
cow.
Given the hazards, it's not surprising (40)
that
special ceremonies are held for new car owners in which the

steering wheel and
the driver are both blessed.
Passage5

Most workers spend eight hours on the job a day on

(31)
workdays
. They work because they need money for necessities. They
spend about one third of their lives at work, but hate it. By contrast,

some people actually

(32)
enjoy

work. They spend (33)
extra

hours on the
job each week and often take work home with them. They are called “workaholics(
工作狂
)” as they are
addicted to their job as other people are (34 )


to
alcohol.

Workaholics would (35)
rather
work than do anything else and this
can be most important to their life. Workaholics are often (36)
under

stress. They can’t relax and feel tense.
(37)
As a result
they
may easily lose temper. Their work therefore has serious impact on their relationships and family life. Typical workaholics pay
little

attention
to
families.
They
spend

(38)
little
time
with
their
children
and
their
marriages
may

(39)
end
in
divorce.
Their

inability to relax may cause

(40)
health

problems, such as high blood pressure.

Passage 6

There are advantages and disadvantages to (31)
both
Asian and Western educational methods. For example, one advantage (32)

to
the education in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science (33)
than
American students. They also study
more
hours
each
day
than
Americans(34)

do
.
The
study
is
difficult,but
it
(35)
prepares
students
for
a
society
that
values
discipline
and
self-control.
There
is,
however,
a
disadvantage.
Memorization
is
an
important
learning
method
in
Japanese
schools,
(36)
yet
many
students
say
that
after
an
exam,
they
forget
much
of
the
information
that
they
have
memorized.
The
advantage to the education in North America, (37)
on
the other hand, is that students learn to think by themselves. The system
prepares them for a society
that values (38)
new
is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high
school, they haven’t memorized (39
)
as


many basic rules and facts as students in other countries (40)
have
.
Passage7

Jules Verne’s most famous book is “Twenty Thousand Leagues

under the Sea”. (A “league” is
an old word (16)
meaning
about
three miles.) In those days submarines (
潜水艇
) had not been (17)
invented
,but he describes an underwater ship very like a
modern submarine. The captain of the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find
many strange things (18)
at
the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good (19)
story- teller B. sailor
. His characters often did
surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed (20)
to be

real people.
In
another
book,
“Around
the
World
in
Eighty
Days”,
Jules
Verne creates
Mr.
Fogg,
the
hero,
(21)
who

made
a
bet
that
he
would travel around the world in eighty days. Nowadays this may seem (22)
easy
to you, but in those days there were no planes
or even cars. Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different (23)
ways
, even on an elephant at one time! If you want to
know their result,
you should read the book. In all his
books Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge

(24)
as well as
his
imagination
in
describing
future
inventions.
(25)
Sometimes

he
was
wrong,
of
course,
but
often
the
accuracy
of
his
descriptions is very clever.
Passage 8

Peter Blake is a successful businessman, but he (16)
used
to be very poor. He had nowhere to live and (17)
was


working in a
pub when he (18)
decided
to start his own business. Peter had always (19)
been
interested in plants and flowers,

(20)
so
he
decided to set up a company (21)
which


cared for the plants in big offices. At first he worked on his





(22)
own
, but soon
he took (23)
on_
two people to help him. The company has been growing (24)
---
不要填
for the last ten years. Peter is now very
rich, (25 )
_but__

he complains
that now he doesn’t work with plants but with a computer every
day!
Passage 9

Frank knew he was very ill. He spent days walking,

sometimes

as far as thirty miles

in

a day, trying to reason with the
pain, and strange thoughts in his mind. Then, one night, he made up his

mind

that he would go to the hospital and ask them
to admit him. He reported to out-patients and asked to see a psychiatrist.
A junior doctor eventually examined him and

listened

to Frank's confused account of having been in hospital before, of
how he thought he ought to

be admitted

again because he was so confused and knew something was very wrong with him.
The doctor did not admit him. Frank cannot

remember

whether he was told that the hospital was full or that they simply
did not believe him.

So
Frank
