(A)
Even today there
are a great many wrong ideas about food. Some of
them are very
widespread.
One such idea is that fish is the best
brain food. Fish is good brain food
_______25_______ it
is good muscle food
and skin food and bone food. But no one has been
able to prove that fish is
any_______26________(good) for the
brain than many other kinds of food.
Another such idea is that you
______27_______ not drink water with meals.
Washing food
down with water as a
substitute _________28_______ chewing is not a
good idea, but some water
with meals
has been found to helpful. It makes the digestive
juices flow more freely and helps to
digest the food.
Many of the
ideas which scientists tell
us_________29_______(have) to do with mixtures of
foods. A few years ago the belief
became general that orange juice and milk should
never be drunk
at the same meal. The
reason given was ______30_________ the acid in the
orange juice would
make the milk
curdle(
凝结
) and become
indigestible. As a matter of fact, milk always
meets in the
stomach a digestive juice
which curdles _______31__________. A smiling wrong
idea is that fish
and ice cream when
______32_______ (eat) at the same meal form a
poisonous combination.
(B)
It‘s one of our common beliefs that
mice are
afraid of cats. Scientists
have long known that
_________33_________ a mouse has never
seen a cat before, it is still able to detect
chemical
signals released from it and
run away in fear. This has always been thought to
be something that is
hard-wired
in
to a mouse‘s brain. But recently
Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at the University
of California, Berkeley,
_______34________(challenge) this common sense.
She has found a way
to ―cure‖ mice of
their inborn fear of cats by infecting them with a
parasite,
reported the science
journal Nature.
The
parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might sound
unfamiliar to you, but the
___35______(shock) fact is that up to
one-third of people around the world are infected
by it. This
parasite can cause
different diseases among humans,
________36________pregnant women
–
it is
linked to
blindness and the death of unborn babies.
However, the parasite‘s effects on mice
are unique. Ingram and her team measured how mice
reacted to a cat‘s
urine(
尿
) before and
_____37_______it was infected by the parasite.
They noted
that normal mice stayed far
away from the urine _________38_______ mice that
were infected
with the parasite walked
freely around the test area.
But that‘s
not all. The parasite was found to be more
powerful than original
ly
_____39__________(think)
–
even after researchers
cured the mice of the infection, they no longer
reacted with fear to a cat‘s smell,
which could indicate that the infection has caused
a permanent
change in mice‘s
brains.
Why does a parasite
change a mou
se‘s brain instead of
making it sick like it does to humans?
The answer lies in evolution.
Toxoplasma gondii can only reproduce inside a cat.
So the parasite
had to develop a way of
tricking the mice into getting eaten more easily
–
thus
_______40_______(help) itself go inside
a cat-
by taking away mice‘s sense of
alarm.

Since I took 0ffice
I
‘
ve done everything in my
power to protect our children from harm. We
__25_ ( work) to make their streets and
their schools safer, to give them something
positive to do
after school and
26
their parents get home.
We
‘
ve worked to teach our
children that drugs are
dangerous,
illegal and wrong.
Today, I want to talk to you about the
historic opportunity we now have to protect our
nation
‘
s
children
from an even
27
(deadly) threat: smoking. Smoking kills
more people every day than
AIDS,
alcohol,
car
accidents,
murders,
suicides,
drugs
and
fires
__28_
(combine).
Nearly
90
percent
of
those
smokers

turned
18.
29
(consider)
this:
3,000
children start to smoke everyday
illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner
because of it.
This

a
national
tragedy
that

For
more than five years
we
‘
ve worked to stop our
children from smoking before they start, launching
a nationwide campaign to
educate them about the dangers of smoking, to
reduce their access to
tobacco products, and to severely
restrict tobacco companies from advertising to
young people. If
we do these,
we
‘
ll cut teen smoking
31
almost half over the next five years.
That means
32
we act now, we have it in our power to
stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a
million
lives as a result.

Section A
Direction:
Read the following two passages. Fill
in each blank with one proper word or proper
form
of
the
given
word
to
make
the
passage
coherent.
Make
sure
that
your
answers
are
grammatically correct.
(A)
Fitness isn‘t just physical: _25______<
/p>
(
change
)
your thoughts, and you change your
world.
Of course we can all agree that
_26______(gain) and losing weight, exercise, diet,
strength, and
flexibility are all a
part of fitness. But what about body image, self-
esteem, aging, relationships,
success,
and happiness? They are all
related,
all _27______(connect), and fitness in all areas
is
important if you want true and total
fitness.
But
you
may
say,
―I
just
want
to
lose
20
pounds.
If
I
do,
I
_28______
(feel)
better
about
myself and I will be happy.‖ Maybe in
the short term, _29______ honestly, if we don‘t
deal with
our
mental
and
emotional
fitness
while
_30______(work)
on
the
physical
fitness,
there
is
very
little
chance
of
keeping
the
weight
off,
feeling
good
about
yourself,
and
_31______(improve)
every other area of your life.
Let‘s not _32______(waste) time on
changing our bodies when they will only change
back if
we don‘t change our minds, too.
Let‘s work ―out‖ and work ―in‖ at the same
time.
(B)
For many people today, reading is no
longer relaxation._33______(keep) up their work,
they
must
read
letters,
reports,
newspapers.......In
getting
a
job
or
advancing
in
one,
the
ability_34_____
(read)
and
comprehend
quickly
can
mean
the
difference
between
success
and
failure.
Yet
the
unfortunate
fact
is
that
most
of
us
are
poor
readers.
Most
of
us
develop
poor
reading habits at an early age, and
never get over them. The main deficiency lies in
the actual stuff
of
language
itself-words.
_35______(take)individually,
words
have
little
meaning
until
they
_36______(tring)
together
into
phrases,
sentences
and
paragraphs.
Unfortunately,
however,
the
untrained reader does
not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one
word __37_____a time,
often regressing
to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency
to look back over __38_____
you have
just read, is a common bad habit in reading.
Another habit which slows down the speed
of reading is vocalization-sounding
each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some
reading clinics use a device called an
accelerator, which
_39______(move)
a
bar(or curtain)down
the page at
a predetermined
speed. The
bar
is
set
at
a
slightly
_40_______(fast)
rate
than
the
reader
finds
comfortable,
in
order
to
him.
The
accelerator
forces
the
reader
to
read
fast,
making
word-by-word
reading,
regression
and
subvocalization, practically
impossible. At first comprehension is sacrificed
for speed. But when
you learn to read
ideas and concepts you will not only read faster,
but your comprehension will
improve.
