Cloze 15% （每小题1分）Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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.Knowing which direction a telephone call es from and municating with the five senses are just some of the dreams of Japanese researchers who are looking for the mobile phone of the future._50_ for NTT Doo, Japans leading mobile phone carrier, about 900 researchers in mobile munications, multimedia and network laboratories in Tokyo spend their days dreaming up applications of the future. And, its not just for fourth generation mobile telephone (4G), _51_ for 5G as well.“We are working on the five _52_. Smell and taste may be the most difficult,” said Toshio Miki, managing director of Doos multimedia laboratories.Doos third generation service, FOMA, launched in October xx, has a data transmission(传输) speed of 384 kilobits per second(kbps). That makes it _53_ to talk by video-link or to look at an Internet site while talking on the phone.Doos next target is to achieve a _54_ of 100 million bps for 4G by xx. Researchers at Yokosuka show some of the functions they hope to _55_ in the same time frame.One of them would turn the mobile phone into a sort of tracking device to help find a friend in a _56_ public place, something for which current phones are of limited use.It consists of recreating the sense of directional sound with the help of GPS(Global Position System). The other _57_ voice would appear to e from the left or right, in front or behind to agree with the actual location in relation to the listener.If the function is one day incorporated(集成) into a mercial telephone receiver, it could make a three-way audio-conference more natural and _58_ and easier to follow.The voice of speaker in Hokkaido(北海道), northern Japan, for example, would appear to e from the _59_ for a person in Tokyo, and that of someone in southwestern Kyushu(九州) would appear to e from somewhere to the south.When using the videophone, the user would get the impression that the sound was _60_ ing from the mouth of the person on the screen.The mobile carrier is also researching the ability to _61_ speech simply from the movement of facial muscles without the voicing of any sounds. The application could prove _62_ when silence needs to be kept, such as in a library or hospital, or where there is too much background noise.After three years, Doo has succeeded in reproducing all five Japanese vowels(元音). Or it can do it on-screen by _63_ wires to the cheeks, the nose, the upper lip, and the chin. The pany is now working on reproducing consonants(辅音), which could _64_ more difficult.50. A. DesignedB.

They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students because they are not gifted enough.As it is reported, a number of students killed themselves. Others try to get the feeling of taking drugs. Some join the groups of trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hopes. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer. They bee dropout.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those school opening in the evenings and weekends - they only help students to pass exams and never teach students any real sense of the world. It is a great surprise that almost three-quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, how to show love for others, even for their parents.65. Dropouts _.A. make troubles in and out of schoolsB. go about or stay home instead of being at schoolC. try hard but always fail in the examsD. lose hopes and drop some of their subjects66. Which of the following is Not True?A. Few students feel like heavy pressures.B. Heavy pressures may not be harmful to every child.C. Nothing is more important than school rules in Japan.D. Most parents only think about their childrens wonderful life.67. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The Trouble in Japanese Schools B. The Problems of Japanese StudentsC. Education in JapanD. The Pressures of Being a Student in JapanBLondon (Reuter) -Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old puter technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why they are willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from plete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market.” Said Sue Fock, a specialist in this line of business.68. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because _. A. they are getting richer B. they can get the food anywhere C. they consider the food free of pollution D. they like home-grown fruit69. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain? A. It grows indoors all year round.B. It is produced outside Britain. C. It is grown on family farms.D. It is produced on large farms.70. When the author said that more shoppers were “buying into the organic trend”, he was telling us that they were _? A. growing interest in organic foodB. seeking better quality of organic food C. asking the market for organic foodD. increasing prices of organic food71. What is the best title for this news story?A. Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy?B. The making of organic food in BritainC. Organic food-to import or not?D. Good qualities of organic foodC In tomorrows offices, there will be more bosses and fewer assistants. New technologies have made clerical work so efficient that fewer workers are necessary, so one assistant may serve several bosses. Bosses in the United States are spending twice as much time resolving employee disputes as they did just a decade ago. Corporate downsizing has made workers more insecure and petitive, increasing the number of personality conflicts that managers are forced to settle.Fighting age bias(偏见) may be a critical workplace issue of the future. As panies depend on older, more experienced workers to solve labor shortages in the next century, managers will need to overe the view that older workers are less productive, less flexible, and more expensive.Electronic networking will give more power to workers at the bottom of the corporate pecking order(等级排序).puter networks allow employees to skip over chains of mand and municate directly with senior managers. The relative anonymity (匿名) of electronic munications will make low-status individuals more relaxed about expressing their points of view and offering valuable new ideas.65. Who will reduce in number in future offices according to the passage? A. Bosses B. Secretaries.C. Senior managers. D. Experienced workers73. According to the passage, the view that older workers are less productive and more expensive is _. A. right B. new C. old D. wise74. Corporate downsizing means _.A. workers get more poorly paidB. workers conduct less paper work C. the number of workers is reduced D. the number of personality conflicts is decreased75. Because of the puter networks, _. A. experienced older workers are more petitive B. younger managers feel threatened C. low-status workers have more chances to express their views D. clerical work is more efficientDThe definition of the standard kilogram is almost entirely wrong. Getting that definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use quantities such as speed or electric power. All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined according to natural properties（属性）that are beyond human control.For example, the standard second (time) is defined as a specific number of vibration（振动）of a type of radiation sent out by atoms of a special metal. The standard metre (length), in turn, is defined as the length of the path light travels under certain conditions.Not so the kilogram. This orphan of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder（铂铱合金筒）locked away in a container maintained by the International Bureau of Weights & Measures in Sevres, France, near Paris. Official bodies around the world have copies of the cylinder.Embarrassingly, the last time the copies were brought to Sevres for a checkup in the 1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about 20 parts per billion in weight pared to the master cylinder
