For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper from of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.(A)Our space is beautiful. Looking out of the window of a space shuttle, you can see the stars more clearly than you can from Earth. Its thrilling view. However, whats out there can be dangerous too. And the dangerous things are often too small _25_(see).Above Earth, where space shuttles orbit, there are thousands of chunks of space garbage. They are flying as spaceships, at about 17,000 miles per hour. Sometimes they hit spaceships. On one flight of the shuttle Columbia, the ship _26_( hit )106 times. Most of those hits were not caused by rocks. They were caused by pieces of space garbage.What kinds of objects are floating in space today? Some are satellites that are no longer working. Others are pieces of rockets that exploded. The first explosion of a rocket in space took place in 1961. Since then, many others _27_(occur). An exploding rocket can send out hundreds of bits of metal.Space garbage also results _28_ everyday events. Lets say an astronaut walks outside a shuttle, _29_(take) pictures. _30_ if he drops the camera lens cap? It bees a piece of orbiting junk. A flying bolt may not sound like much. If its flying ten times as fast as a bullet, though, it can be pretty scary. Some space trash_31_( burn) up by falling toward Earth. If its high up in space, though, it wont fall to Earth. It will stay in orbit. What can be done about space trash? This may be one of the most important questions now facing NASA. (B)Teacher attire (着装) has been a hot topic lately, with various efforts from school districts to crack down on _32_ administrators view as “inappropriate” dress. A school district in West Virginia, US, does not allow teachers to wear faded jeans or shorts to work. Last month, an Alabama school leader suggested a dress code that _33_ ban Capri pants (七分裤) and scarves and include restrictions on eye makeup and nail polish. Most school districts say teachers _34_(expect) to follow the same dress code rules as students. Just as students are discouraged from wearing yoga pants at Minnesotas Minnetonka High School, _35_ are their teachers.While the clothes dont make the teacher, some teachers say that every bit counts when trying to educate rooms full of their harshest critics. “I love dressing like I do, because it makes me feel good and gives me _36_ extra dose of confidence, which sometimes I need in a room full of 26 energetic fifth-graders,” said Emily York, a 33-year-old teacher at Eisenhower Elementary School in Hopkins, Minnesota.People tend to think that if teachers dress professionally, students will take _37_more seriously. “When (teachers) look current, yet appropriate, it makes them look even _38_(informed), which adds to their credibility (可信度) as role models,” said Amy Lindquist, a Twin Cities fashion and image consultant,_39_ helps some teachers build their wardrobes.Others say dressing with personal style as long as that style doesnt include yoga pants or halter tops (露背吊带装) sets another example for students 40_ _ _ reading and writing.Section BDirections: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. prime B. imposed C. associate D. basis AB. collapse AC. practice AD. Advocates BC. potentially BD. Opponents CD. linking ABC. literatureAs anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. Thats partially because people who set realistic goals actually work more efficiently, and exert more effort to achieve those goals.Whats far less understood by scientists, however, are the _41_ harmful effects of goal-setting.Newspapers relay daily accounts of goal-setting popular in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street, yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the long-trumpeted _42_ of setting goals may have contributed to the current economic crisis, and immoral behavior in general.“Goals are widely used and promoted as having really beneficial effects. And yet, the same motivation that can push people to exert more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to engage in immoral behaviors,” says Maurice Schweitzer, an _43_ professor at Penns Wharton School.A _44_ example Schweitzer and his colleagues cite is the xx _45_ of energy-trading giant Enron, where managers used financial stimulus to motivate salesmen to meet specific ine goals. The problem, Schweitzer says, is that actual trades were not profitable.Other studies have shown that burdening employees with unrealistic goals can force them to lie, cheat or steal. Such was the case in the early 1990s when Sears _46_ sales quota (定额) on its auto repair staff. It caused employees to overcharge for work and to plete unnecessary repairs on a panywide _47_.Schweitzer admits his research goes against a very large body of _48_ that pliments the many benefits of goal-setting. _49_ of the practice have taken issue with his teams use of such evidence as news accounts to support his conclusion that goal-setting is widely over-prescribed. In a rebuttal paper, Dr. Edwin Locke writes: “Goal-setting is not going away. Organizations cannot thrive without being focused on their desired results any more than an individual can thrive without goals to provide a sense of purpose.”But Schweitzer argues the “mounting causal evidence” _50_ goal-setting and harmful behavior should be studied to help spotlight issues that merit caution and further investigation. “Even a few negative effects could be so large that they outweigh many positive effects,” he says.“Goal-setting does help coordinate and motivate people. My idea would be to bine that with careful oversight, a strong organizational culture, and make sure the goals that you use are going to be constructive and not significantly harm the organization,” Schweitzer says.III. Reading prehension (39%)Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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.You are trapped at the window of a building that is on fireYou hear a mans voice throughthe smoke 51 you shouting,“Jump!” Will you jump? Will you leave the known，as dangerous as it is，and jump into the unknown? The 52 depends on two factorsThe first has to 53 how much you know about the person who is shouting to youIs he 54 ? Will he let you fall to the ground or support your _55_? So it is with all of our 56 _What do we know about the people we would like to 57 ? Will they stand by you when circumstances change? Can they be depended on? Its like a woman who once purchased two watches from a street vendor(摊贩)on Londons Oxford StreetWhen she asked if the street salesman could 58_ her guarantees，he said“Certainly , madamI can give you even 59 guarantees”Then he added，“The onlything I cant guarantee is that I will be here this time next Monday morning” So the first part of trust is _ 60_. Is the other person worthy of your trust? 61 important is a second factor, which is ACTIONWill you jump? It 62 littlehow much you believe you trust someone if you are finally 63 to jump. Will you show your trust for them by jumping? You may be deciding to make a jumpStaying in the burning building is always an option，but not one youll want to make for long 64 it feels risky to leap into the smoke，you may discover there is a safe and secure 65 You may also discover that there are those to be trustedAnd you may discover that it is worth the jump51AbesideBbelowCbehindDabove52AphenomenonBproblemCanswerDquestion53Ago withBmake outClook overDdo with54AreliableBcapableCstrongDserious55.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AA man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the pany he keeps; for there is a panionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best pany, whether it be of books or of men. A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of panions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and forting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a mans life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, bee our constant panions and forters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.66. A good book may be among the best of friends because_. A. it changes over the past of time B. it contains all kinds of knowledge C. it doesnt betray us when we are in trouble D. it forts us in youth and instructs us in age 67. “Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _?A. If you love me, you must reading books. B. The book can be a bond between friends.C. I love books as much I love friends. D. If you love the author, you will love his books.68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.B. All books are our constant panions and forters. C. Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time. D. The world of a mans thoughts is what his life is all about.69. The best title for this passage can be _ .A. Reading Books B. A Good BookC. Our Best Friend D. panionship of BooksBRetirement is the point where a person stops employment pletelyThe standard retirement age varies from country to country, but it is generally between 50 and 70, according to the latest statistics, xxHowever, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countriesThere are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are ableMany people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retireBesides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement pany policies than the youngA more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old peopleTo force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is overAllowing old people to work indefinitely, however, is not always a good policySome people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of abilityMany young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working livesHaving pulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organizationOn the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their life s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisureThey can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goalsWith many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to pulsorily retire older workersHowever, this can affect the older individual s freedomand rightto workIn my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual70. According to the passage, older people should go on with work because _.Athey will help the business not to fail quicklyBthey have grasped much practical experienceCthey need to have a sense of achievementDthey want to learn more knowledge71. The underlined word implement in Paragraph 2 probably means _.Atake over Bwork on Cfigure out Dcarry out72. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that _Aolder people can t do their work wellByoung people usually have new ideasCit is better for older people to retire on timeDolder people would like to do something else73. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CSpace exploration has always been the province of dreamers：The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力）struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly. In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decades end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated with optimism and ambition i
