Reading Comprehension
Section A
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 context.
By
the
end
of
the
20th
century,
TV
show
producers
had
begun
to
turn
to
the
cheapest
performers
available
—

their
audience.
It
seemed
that
anyone
who
wanted
fame
could

25

it.


And some people wanted it far too much.

Richard and Mayumi Heene,

26

, launched a large balloon 2,000 meters into the air and

then
called
a
TV
network
to
say
that
their
six-year-old
son,
Falcon,
was
inside
it.
Planes
were
re-routed and Denver International Airport was briefly __27
. However, Falcon was later found

to have been hiding in the
family’s garage the whole time. The “balloon boy” incident turned out to
be a hoax (
骗

局

) and the Heenes were 28

of doing it in the hope of landing their own

reality
TV shows. Instead, they got a fine and a short sentence each
—
but they were certainly




29 for a while.
So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. According to one recent
survey, 30 percent of adults regularly daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us expect to



30



some kind of fame in our lifetimes. Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be famous?
Do we really want every 31 of our private lives exposed in newspapers and discussed on television?
Some people, such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem ill-euipped to deal with this kind of


32


, despite their talent. Boyle gained international fame


for her extraordinary singing voice
after appearing on TV talent show
Britain’s
Got Talent and her first album became the fastest-selling
of all time in the U.K. But the sudden fame didn’t seem easy for her at first, and after the final of the
show, Boyle was 33 to a private psychiatric clinic.
Furthermore, people who achieve fame often don’t seem to like it once they have it. A survey
of celebrities found that they worry about the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy,
and the


34


on their children. These are hardly worries that


35



people have to deal with.


They also, 36 , worry about what would happen if they were no longer famous. And there are plenty
of people to ask about that. Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy
from
the
sea
and
enjoyed
the
media
spotlight
for
several
months
afterwards.
When
it
ended,
however, he

37


his job as a toilet cleaner. “I know I’m a nobody,”
he said when the attention

had 38 .
“When the person has to go back to everyday life, there’
s a sense of 39 , loss and being cheated
out of something,” says Dr. Robert Cancro of the New York University School of Medicine.

Section B
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 read.
(A)

My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother.
I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (
真空吸尘器
) bag and picking up things the machine did not
suck up.
Twenty
years
later,
in
1978,
I
was
doing
chores
at
home
alongside
my
wife.
One
day
the
vacuum
cleaner
was
screaming
away,
and
I
had
to
empty
the
bag
because
I
could
not
find
a
replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a
bagless vacuum cleaner.
Easier
said
than
done,
of
course.
I
didn’t
realize
that
I
would
spend
the
next
five
years
perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (
设计原型
). By the time I
made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our
pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further
and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the
problem.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a
business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (
许可协议
) for my
technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business
model based on the profits from bags and filters (
滤网
). No one would license my idea, not because
it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.
That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with
started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect
the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my
bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $$1 million. Then I was able to go into
production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the
excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules
—
in fact,
the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.
