(1) Several years ago, well-known writer and editor Norman Cousins became very ill. His body ached and he felt constantly tired. It was difficult for him to even 45 around. His doctor told him that he would lose the ability to move and eventually die from the disease. He was told he had only a 1 in 500 chance of survival.46 the diagnosis(诊断), Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He had always been interested in medicine and had read a book, which discussed the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by emotional stress and negative 47 . The book made Cousins think about the possible 48 of positive attitudes and emotions. He thought, “Is it possible that love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence, and the 49 to live have positive treatment value”He decided to concentrate on positive emotions as a way to treat some of the symptoms of his disease. In addition to his traditional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations that would 50 positive emotions. “Laugh therapy” became part of his treatment. He 51 time each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that would draw out 52 emotions. Within eight days of starting his “laugh therapy” program his pain began to 53 and he was able to sleep more easily. He was able to return to work in a few months time and 54 reached complete recovery after a few years.45ArunBpass CmoveDtravel46ABesidesBDespiteCWithoutDBeyond47AattitudesBbeliefsCgoalsDpositions48AshortcomingBharmCbenefitDinterest49Aemotion Bpain CfearDwill50Abring aboutBset aboutCput up Dmake up 51AaffordedBappointedCofferedDarranged52ApositiveBapprovingCstrongDmixed53AescapeBdecreaseCshrinkDend54AgenerallyBespeciallyCactuallyDpresently （2） “When a customer enters my store, forget me . He is King. ” said John Wanamaker, who in 1876 turned an abandoned railway station in Philadelphia into one of me worlds first department stores This revolutionary concept 55 the face of retailing（零售业）and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.But convincing as that slogan was, 56 the shopper was cheated out of the crown 57 manufacturing efficiency increased the variety of goods and lowered prices, people still relied on advertisements to get most information about products. Through much of the past century, ads spoke to an audience restricted to just a few radio or television channels or a 58 number of publications. Now media choice, has 59 too, and consumers select what they want from a far greater variety of sourcesespecially with a few clicks of a computer mouse 60 the internet, the consumer is finally seizing power.As our survey shows, 61 has great implications for companies, because it is changing the way the world shops. Many firms already claim to be “customer-driven”or “consumer- centred ”. Now their 62 will be tested as never before. Taking advantage of shoppers 63 will no longer be possible: people will knowand soon tell others ,even those without the internetthat prices in the next town are cheaper or that certain goods are inferior. The internet is working wonders in 64 standards. Good and Good and honest firms should benefit most.55AchangedBmaintainedCrestoredDrescued56Ain timeBin truthCin caseDin theory57AJust asBThe momentCIfDAlthough58AlimitedBminimumCsufficientDgreat59AdisappearedBexistedCexplodedDsurvived60AAccording toBThanks toCBut forDApart from61Aconsumer powerBproduct qualityCpurchasing habitDmanufacturing efficiency62AinformationBinvestmentCclaimsDshops63AgenerosityBknowledgeCcuriosityDignorance64Araising BloweringCabandoningDcarrying （3）Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo（单独的） space flight were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth, 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine（潜水艇） voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditionsScientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behaviour under stress.45AtiredBasleepCconsciousDbusy46ASo farBAfter allCHoweverDTherefore47AlongBfastCdangerousDdirect48AfuelBentertainmentCadjustmentDhealth49Ashut upBheld upCbrought upDpicked up50ApleasingBannoyingCcommonDvaluable51AnoisyBaloneCpersonalDsociable52AemphasisBconflictCpowerDpressure53AhandleBcreateCaffectDinvestigate54AbecomingBchoosingCorderingDpromoting（4）One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum（课程）of the thorough teaching of English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55ADue toBIn addition toCInstead ofDIn spite of56AerrorsBsituationsCsystemsDmethods57AvocabularyBcultureCgrammarDliterature58AwideBsimilarCseparateDunique59Akept outBturned downChelp backDleft behind60AsurprisinglyBindividuallyCequallyDregular61AextraBtraditionalCbasicDregular62AAlthoughBBecauseCUntilDUnless63ArestoredBabsorbedCprohibitedDwithdrawn64AwastingBfocusingCexploitingDsharing（5）People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others. However, playing sports can have _50 effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been _51 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad _52 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main _53 of too much aggression ill childrens sports. They believe children _54 _ aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that_55 is everything. Many parents go to childrens sporting events and shout _56 _ at other players or cheer when their child behaves _57_. As well, children arc even taught that hurting other players is _ 58 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured _59 , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.As a society, we really need to 60 this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches _61 should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better_62 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to _63 , themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that _64 is not as important as winning.50. A. restrictiveB. negativeC. activeD. instructive51.

Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to _51_ it. Creativity isnt always _52_ with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time _53_ think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.Making connections This technique involves taking _54_ ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words _55_ with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the _56_ to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original _57_; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.No limits! Imagine that normal limitations dont _58_. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new _59_. If your goal is to learn to ski, _60_, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now _61_ this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else! Look at the situation from a _62_ point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the _63_ in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want Why cant she get it What changes must she make to get what she wants If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their _64_.

What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, _51_ revising. Andrew Lloyd Webbers musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had. _52_ several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber _53_ some of the music because the Phantoms makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds. When you revise, you change aspects of your work in _54_ to your evolving purpose, or to include _55_ ideas or newly discovered information. Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. _56_, it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to _57_. topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. dont make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows _58_. Always make time to become your own _59_and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you _60_ new ideas.Revising involves _61_ the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose _62_ throughout my draft Do I ever lose sight of my purpose Have I given my readers all of the _63_ that is, facts, opinions, inferences - that they need in order to understand my main idea Finally, have I included too many _64_ details that may confuse readers50.
