  • 完形填空

          As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me
    some uncomfortable moments.
           Maybe it was the strange     1     things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that     2     me
    so much. There was never total       3      , but a streetlight or passing car lights      4    clothes hung over a
    chair takeon(呈现) the     5    of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my     6    , I saw the curtains seem to
    move when there was no     7     . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the
    daylight. My      8     would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would      9     very still so that the "
    enemy" would not discover me.
           Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,   10     on the way home from school. Every
    morning I got on the school bus right near my home .That was no     11      . After school,      12     , when all the buses were    13   up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one and be taken to
    some      14    neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out
    of my    15     .
           Perhaps one of the worst fears      16     all I had as a child was that of not being liked or   17    by
    others. Being popular was so important to me   18    , and the fear of not being liked was a     19     one.
           One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to      20     and overcome(克服) our fears.
    Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

  •       I have been a student at Bentley College in Waltham for some time now, so I have a lot of experience and know how things work at Bentley. As a freshman(新生)at Bentley College you will be living in the
    Tree Dorms, Slade Hall or Miller Hall. I would highly suggest that you choose to live in the Tree Dorms
    because this is where most fresh-men are going to be living. There will be a lot of activities going on in the building and you will meet lots of people. Slade Hall is next to the parking lot and not far from the Tree
    Dorms, so that would be your second choice. As Miller Hall is small and far away, it would be my last
    choice for freshmen housing. If Bentley offers you the chance to live with second or third year students
    you'd better refuse their offer and live with freshmen. Living with your classmates will make the transition (过渡) into college life a lot easier.
          As a freshman your classes should be easy. After freshman year your classes will become a lot more
    difficult, so I advise that you get down to business early in the first year. There are two very easy things you can do to increase your knowledge as a freshman. The first is to just go to class and the second is to
    always do your homework. I also highly advise that you do it on your own and try to stay disciplined. It is
    tooeasy to put your homework away and then get really behind and not be able to learn everything before a mid-term or final exam.

    1. The author advises freshmen to live in the Tree Dorms because ___________.

    A. it is across the parking lot from Slade Hall
    B. it is small and quite far away from the playground
    C. there are many second and third year students there
    D. there are many freshmen and more activities

    2. Where is Slade Hall?                    

    A. Near Miller Hall.          
    B. Far from Tree Dorms.
    C. Beside the car park.   
    D. Near the classrooms
    .
    3. According to the author, how can freshmen improve knowledge?                      

    A. Remember to do homework by discussing it with others.
    B. Finish homework and go to class every day.
    C. Try to spend more time in the library.
    D. Be able to learn something before a mid-term or final exam.

    4. The author writes the passage to ___________.

    A. tell new students how to get used to college life
    B. tell new students about their teachers and dormitory
    C. show the differences between college and high school
    D. tell readers about some funny things at Bentley College
  •      Nick Campbell sat at the side of the road and wondered what to do next. He looked at the
    second-hand Harley Davidson he'd bought from a back-street garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before.
          For years he had dreams of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he'd finally decided that it was now or never. He'd given up his job, sold his car and set off for the journey of his
    dreams. He'd been lucky, or so he thought, to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very
    reasonable price------it had cost him just $600. But five kilometers from Atlanta, he had run out of luck.
    The motorbike had broken down.
          He pushed the bike into town and found a garage. The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day. The following morning, to his surprise, the man asked if the bike was for sale. "Certainly not," he replied, paid his bill and hit the road.
         When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again. This time Nick thought about selling it
    and buying something more reliable, but decided to carry on.     When the bike was going well, he loved
    it. 
          However, in Denver, Colorado the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and
    offer it for sale. The mechanic told him to come back in the morning.
         The next day, to his amazement, the man offered him $2,000. Realizing the man must be soft in the
    head, but clearly not short of money, Nick asked for $ 3,000. The man agreed and they signed the papers. Then the mechanic started laughing. In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he
    could he said, "That's the worst deal you'll ever make, boy."
          He removed the seat. On the underside was the inscription (铭文):
         "To Elvis, love James Dean."

    1. Harley Davidson here refers to a _________.

    A. car        
    B. truck    
    C. garage     
    D. motorbike

    2. Which of the following did Nick value most?                  

    A. Harley Davidson.  
    B. His job.   
    C. His dream to travel.  
    D. His car.

    3. The underlined word in the 6th paragraph is closest in meaning to_________.

    A. clever        
    B. crazy      
    C. honest   
    D. kind

    4. At the end of the story, Nick must have felt very __________.

    A. sorry       
    B. happy       
    C. excited            
    D. moved

  •        I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would
    try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
           The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical
    passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can
    choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that
    would change.
           And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater
    looks great on you." "Oh, Tom, you noticed", she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We
    walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
           So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell
    museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
          There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it
    today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. "What's the matter?" I asked her.
        "Tom," she said in a voice filled with sadness, "Do you know something I don't?"
         "What do you mean?"
         "Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? 
         Tom, you've been so good to me…

    1. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

    A. with his family                      
    B. with Evelyn
    C. alone            
    D. with his children

    2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.

    A. he decided to be a good husband
    B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
    C. she looked lovely in her new clothes
    D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill

    3. The author says, "There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment." What does "one thing" refer to?                  
    A. He pra
    ised her sweater, which puzzled her.
    B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
    C. He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.
    D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

    4. By saying "I'm just starting to live," Tom means that ______.

    A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
    B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
    C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
    D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

  •      Everyone talks about the greenhouse effect(温室效应) and how our Earth and its climate are being affected. We can do a science experiment designed by some kids to show this effect and what is happening to the Earth.
          First prepare the following items:
         ●2 glass containers(容器) that need to be the same size and shape 
         ●1 gallon plastic bag
         ●4 cups of very cold water
         ●Ice cubes
         Fill each container with two cups of cold water. Add the same amount of ice cubes to each container. Then put one of the containers in the plastic bag and close it tight. Put both containers in the sun together and keep them there for at least an hour.
         At the end of one hour remove the container from the plastic bag and immediately check the temperature of the water. After you record this, find out the temperature of the water that is not covered.
         When you place the containers in direct sunlight, the air inside the bag becomes very warm. The heat filters (渗入) in but cannot escape so it stays in the closed plastic bag and increases the temperature. What if you leave that for two, three or four hours?
         Think about what is happening to the Earth. There are chemicals that are creating a type of plastic bag around the Earth. It causes our air to get warmer because of the heat from the sun being kept in this closed area.
         Think about your car in the hot summer. This is what happens when you leave your car outside all day. This greenhouse effect has caused your car to be so hot that you sometimes cannot even touch the steering wheel.
         This science project goes to show what affects our planet.

    1. According to the text, the greenhouse effect appears mainly because of ________.

    A. the hot sunlight         
    B. chemicals around the Earth
    C. the plastic bag     
    D. human activities

    2. Which of the following shows the right order of steps for the science project?_______

    a. Measure the water which is not covered.
    b. Make preparations for the project.
    c. Fill each of the two glass containers with two cups of cold water.
    d. Put one container in a plastic bag and close it tight.
    e. Put the two containers in the sun for at least one hour.
    f. Measure the water which is covered with a plastic bag.

    A. b e d c a f

          When I get on the train to Shanghai, I wasn't as excited  like the others. I had passed the
    college entrance exam, and yet I was worried about the new things to come. When I arrived to, I
    did not see somebody that I knew. I felt lonely and tears came to my eye.
         Fortunately, the next day I got to know some new classmates and they soon became friends.
         Over the next few days, I had different  lessons and found the teachers were both kind. I grew
    to like life at college. Though I still missed my family a lot, but I   tried my best to
    taking good care of myself. I was looking forward my wonderful four years of college life.
