II 完形填空 (20’)
Historians tend to
tell the same joke when they are describing history education in America . It’s
21 about the teacher standing in the
schoolroom door 22 goodbye to students for the summer
holidays and calling 23 them , “By the way , we won World
War II .”
The problem with the
joke , 24 , is that it isn’t funny . The
recent surveys on those who have 25 or no 26
knowledge are beginning to 27
people : nearly one third of American 17-year-old youths cannot even
identify which 28 the United States fought against in
that 29 . One third have no idea in 30
situation the Declaration of Independence was 31 . One third thought Columbus reached
the New World after 1750 . Two thirds cannot correctly place the Civil War
between 1850 and 1900 . 32 some
of them can get the answers 33 , they are just guessing . 34
maths or science , ignorance of history cannot be directly connected
with loss of 35 competitiveness . But it does 36
our future as a democratic nation and as 37
.
The good news is that
there is growing 38 on what wrong with the teaching of
history and what needs to be met to fix it . The 39 are being taken as a trial and yet
to be felt in most 40 .

Gogo has

taught by Gogo even weeks later . Parents often ask me how they can help their
children learn English and now there’s a programme I can direct them to .”
Clive Sawkins ,

China called its second manned space flight a perfect success that will
improve national unity after the spacecraft and two astronauts aboard returned
safely to Earth . The Shenzhou 6 spacecraft spent five days in orbit while
astronauts performed tests which China says will improve its future space
exploration efforts .
A celebration of
national pride swept the country as the Shenzhou6 spacecraft toughed down
safely early Monday in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region .
Speaking hours after
the landing , the director of the manned Space Engineering Office , Tang
Xianming , said the success demonstrates China is among the best in the world
in science and technology .
“We believe this great
achievement will inspire greater patriotic passion (爱国热情) , national pride and unity ,
stimulate (激发) out
enthusiasm for scientific exploration and creation , and achieve the prosperity
of the whole Chinese nation ,” said Tang Xianming .
He said China hopes to
train female astronauts in the future and to build a space station , but the
next step is a space walk by 2007 .
State media quoted
China’s top legislator , Wu Bangguo , as saying the mission’s success would
improve China’s international status and national strength and help to mobilize
(调动) people
around the Communist Party .
China’s second manned
space launch comes two years after it first sent a man into orbit , joining the
former Soviet Union and the United States as the only countries to have sent
people into space . Both did so more than 40 years ago .

Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise .
Leadership means power , command respect and encourages achievement . Unlike
vitamin C , leadership skills can’t be easily swallowed down . They must be
carefully cultivated .
Different from popular
belief , most good leaders are made , not born . They learn their skills in
their everyday lives . But which do they develop ? How do they ( and how can
you ) get others to follow ?
Always give credit .
Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from
others is to treat them like heroes . Giving public credit to someone who has
earned it is the best leadership technique in the world . It is also an act of
generosity (慷慨) that’s
never forgotten .
Giving credit is more
effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评) , which often hurts rather than
helps . Kenneth Blanchard , the author of The One –Minute Manager , agrees , “Catch
people doing something right !” he says . Then tell everyone about it .
Take informed risks . “The
best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise ,” says
management adviser Marilyn Machlowits . “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane
without checking the parachutes (降落伞) beforehand .” Because the idea of risk also carries with it the
possibility of failure , many of us usually wait for others to take charge .
But if you want to be a leader , you must learn to fail –and not die a thousand
deaths . Pick yourself up and start all over again .
Encourage enthusiasm (热情) . “When people understand the
importance of work , they lend their mental strengths .” says Lee Ducat . But
when they get excited about the work , all their energy gets poured into the
job . That’s great force ! Is this the best way to create excitement ? Be
enthusiastic yourself –You will be followed by everyone .
49. The underlined word “cultivated”
(paragraph 1 ) roughly means _________ .
A.
encouraged B.
compared C.
examined D. developed
50. The part Always give credit tells us
that a leader should ________ .
A. give helpful
criticism
B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise
people for their good performances D. praise
everyone
51. To be a good leader , you should
__________ .
A. not be
afraid of any risks
B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible
failures
D. know what thoughtless exercise is
52. Which of the following can be the best
title for the passage ?
A. Leadership
Is of Skills and Techniques B.
Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can
Be Leaders
D. How to Be a Leader
D
For many years
, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size . I believed that when
the weight disappeared , it would take old wounds , hurts, and rejections with
it .
Many weight—conscious
people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything .
Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved ,
being special , and being cherished . We dream about what it will be like when
we reach the long-awaited goal . We wok very hard to realize this dream . Then
, at last , we find ourselves there . But we often gain back what we have lost
. Even so , we continue to believe that next time it will be different . Next
time , we will keep it off . Next time , being thin will finally fulfil its
promise of everlasting happiness , self-worth , and ,of course , love .
It took me a
long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about
beauty . Beauty standards vary with culture . In Samoa a woman is not
considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds . More importantly
, of it’s happiness that we want , why not put our energy there rather than on
the size of our body ? Why not look inside ? Many of us try hard to change our
body , but in vain . We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body
and make friends with and cherish ourselves . When we change our attitudes
toward ourselves , the whole world changes .
53. The passage tries to highlight the
importance of __________ .
A. body size B.
attitude towards life C. culture
difference D. different
beauty standards
54. What does the word “everything” in
paragraph 2 mean ?
A. All the problems . B. All
the properties . C. The whole
world . D. The absolute truth .
55. What can be inferred about the author ?
A. The author is a Samoan . B. The
author succeeded in losing weight .
C. The author has been troubled by his or her weight .
D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents .
56. According to the author , what is the
common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ?
A. They feel angry about the regained weight .
B. They pay little attention to the regained weight .
C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control .
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control .
E
Everyone chases
success , but not all of us want to be famous .
South African
writer John Maxwell Coetzee is well-known for keeping to himself . When the
63-year-old was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature , reporters
were warned that they would find him “particularly difficult to catch .”
Coetzee lives
in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago
. He seemed shocked by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize . “I wasn’t
even aware they were due to make the announcement ,” he said .
His love of
privacy leads to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize—giving in
Stockholm , Sweden , on December 10 .
But despite
being described as difficult to track down , the critics agree that his writing
is easy to get to know .
Born in Cape
Town , South Africa , to an English-speaking family , Coetzee made his
breakthrough in 1980 with the novel “Waiting for the Barbarians” .He took his
place among the world’s leading writers with two Booker prize victories ,
Britain’s highest honour for novels . He first won in 1983 for the “Life and
Times of Michael K”, and this second title came in 1999 for “Disgrace .”
A major theme
in his work is South Africa’s former apartheid (种族隔离) system , which divided whites from blacks . Dealing with the
problems of violence , crime and racial division that still exist in the
country , his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid from
within .
“ I have always
been more interested in the past than the future ,” he said in a rare interview
. “The past casts its shadow over the present . I hope I have made one or two
people think twice about whether they want to forget the past completely .”
In fact this
purity in his writing seems to be mirrored in his personal life . Coetzee is
vegetarian , a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol . But
what he has contributed to literature , culture and the people of South Africa
is far greater than the things he had given up . “In looking at weakness and
failure in life ,” the Noble Prize judging panel said , “Coetzee’s work
expresses the divine (非凡的) spark in man .”
57. When the news came that he won the 2003
Nobel Prize for literature , Coetzee was ________ .
A. excited B.
surprised C.
frightened D.
satisfied
58. People wonder if he will come to the
prize-giving in December because ________ .
A. he is particularly difficult to find B.
he lives in Australia not in South Africa
C. he is busy teaching at the University of Chicago
D. he likes to be left in peace without being bothered
59. When reading his works , people may
find _________ .
A. he became famous for the novel “Waiting for the Barbarians”
B. he won British highest honour for novels
C. racial division exists in South Africa
D. he wanted to bring the past to the present
60. John Maxwell Coetzee is a person who
_________ .
A. keeps a simple way of life
B. cares very much about his health
C. has changed a lot after he is famous D. often accepts interviews
