1、新题型（二）：On the wayPassage IEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the aim of_ (educate). Our purpose is to fit them for life. Life is_(vary); so it is education. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important_

2、(choose) a proper system of education. In some countries with _(advance) industries, they have free education for all. Under this system, people, no matter whether they are rich or poor, clever or foolish, have a chance_(educate) at universities or colleges. They have for some time thought, by free

3、education for all; they can solve all problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough. We find in such countries a far_(large) number of people with universities degrees than there are jobs for them_(fill). As a result of their degrees

4、, they refuse_(do) what they think is “low” work. In fact, _(work) with ones hands is thought to be dirty and _(shame) in such countries.Passage IIDo you realize that you can bring English into all of these things that you enjoy? Your cinema or local television services _(probable) sometimes shows f

5、ilms in English. Watch them if you can. Perhaps you can talk to your friends in an English club. If you cannot find one in your area, you might start one. Many popular songs _(sing) in English-if you can find a_(sing) you like whose words can be easily understood. If you listen often to songs that y

6、ou like you will pick up quite a bit of modern English in a very pleasant way. If you like_(write) letters it will not be different for you _(find) a penfriend to correspond with in English; you could ask for one through the pages of an English magazine you enjoy or you could ask you teacher_(sugges

7、t) the address of a school you could write to. You can listen to the radio in English- either to broadcasts of the BBC World Service or to the Voice of America. With any hobby, you should be able to find a specialist magazine or a book about your hobby in English. _(Have) an English boyfriend or gir

8、lfriend is perhaps the best way of all to learn English. Perhaps you _(you) can think of a way to do something about that- if you are really dedicated to your study of English! I make all these _(suggest) to point out that there may be all sorts of ways in which you can do what you like doing best a

9、nd can also learn some English. Do not worry if you are practicing_ (speak) or writing English with people who are not native speakers; you will not benefit a lot. Passage IIII enjoy the breadth(宽度，幅度) of the challenge. The task of_(mother) can be as broad as I make it. Consider the endless_(vary) o

10、f jobs a mother may do: teacher, nurse, cook, psychologist, driver, trainer, dressmaker. This morning, as I raised my eyes from the breakfast dishes, I saw a neighbour lady_(come) down our street _(push) a paper-cart. As she carried the newspaper to our front door, I stepped outside and we talked_(b

11、rief). Her son (our regular paperboy) had won a contest and was enjoying_(he) in Canada, so she and her younger son were delivering his papers. “I never thought Id grow up_(be) a paperboy,” she murmured as she left. Mother can grow up to be many things. The aspect of this, which _ (excite) me most i

12、s knowing I am making a lifelong difference in my children. Im a woman of influence. When I read my child a story I am doing far more than _（tell） him a story. I am opening up his world with language, words, thoughts, and _(imagine).Passage IV People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes

13、 they try _( remember) a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without_(think); they try to find a solution by trial or error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has

14、to start _（analyze）.There are several stages in doing so. First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, _(Sam) bike is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bike. Next the _(think) must define the problem. Bef

15、ore Sam can repair his bike, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, the tires, or the fame. He must make his problem_(specific). Next the person must look for information that will make the problem_(clear) and lead

16、to possible solutions. For instance, _(suppose) Sam decided that his bike doesnt work because there is something wrong with the wheels. At this time, he can look in his bike_(repair) book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears_(care).Passage V New

17、 York has a short history of some three hundred years. In 1626, the Dutch settlers “bought” Manhattan Island from the Indians. They “paid” them several pieces of bright cloth, diamond-like stones and other things worth about twenty-four dollars. Then in 1664 the English came, the Dutch settlers _(de

18、feat) without a real fight. Then the place was renamed New York. The citys development was rather slow under the English. It speeded up to a certain degree in the_(19) century. The New York of today came into shape only within the last century. If there is one thing which _(make) New York famous, it

19、 is its tall _(build). Manhattan is but 12 miles by 2.5 at its_(wide) part. This might be the reason that the city has grown upwards, instead of outwards. It is an_(excite) experience just to walk down a New York street. The high houses rise straight into the blue sky on either side. It makes one _(

20、feel) as though he_(be) walking through a deep valley. The Empire State Building has 102_(story). For many years it had been the_(tall) in the city, but now it has been topped by another taller building-the World Trade Centre.Passage VI An fish hear fishermen _(move) along the stream? What are the f

21、acts about the ability of a fish _(see)? Can they tell the difference between colours? The sharp _(hear) of a fish has _(prove) by two scientists. These men trained a fish to expect its food when it heard the sound of a whistle. The fish always opened and closed its mouth when it heard the_(feed) si

22、gnal. And it was also reported that even a slight sound two hundred _(foot) away could drive them away. That should make fishermen start thinking! One scientist has made more than fourteen thousand experiments _(test) the ability of fish to recognize different colours. A small bottle with a _(colour

23、) sign round it was lowered among the fish. When a fish swam near it, the food was given. Then other colours were wrapped round the bottle. If a fish came near these, a gentle electric shock was given as a _(punish) by touching the fishs back with an electric wire. After between five to ten times, _

24、(many) of the fishes could tell the difference between the red, brown, yellow and green.Passage VII North of the Himalaya Mountains, in the eastern part of China lies China. _(Thousand) of years before the birth of Christ, the black-_(hair), yellow-_(skin) people with dark eyes lived in the wonderfu

25、l parts of the country. They called their countries the Middle Kingdom, because they thought that the earth was flat and that their land was in the middle of its flat surface. Sometimes they spoke lovingly of their country as the Flowery Land. In the very early days, China _(divide) and ruled by man

26、y kings. About two hundred years before Christ the whole land was united under an emperor. There had been a number of walls _(build) of brick and stone along the northern border _(keep) the enemies beyond. The emperor combined these walls into one _(continue) wall. For twelve hundred miles the Great

27、 Wall ran over high mountains and deep valleys. It was so wide that armies could march on top of it. The Chinese have always loved their homes and their families. For merely when a son married he did not make a home of his own, but always brought his wife to his _(father) house. The Chinese family c

28、ame to include not only children and their parents, but their uncles and aunts, their grandfather and grandmothers, and even their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. In very early days the Chinese made a great_(discover). They found that they could spin silk threads and make them _ lovely cl

29、oth. Silk with bright-coloured birds, flowers and other pattern is the most beautiful material ever seen.Passage VIIIWhen I was a sever-_(year)-old child, my friends filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys _. I handed at once all my money for a whistle(哨子) . I th

30、en came_(bound) home, and went blowing the whistle all over the house. My brothers and sisters and cousins asked me how much I_ (pay) for it, and then they said I had given four_(time) as much as I might have bought with rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for_(foolish). So I cried. Thinkin

31、g about the matter gave me more shame than the whistle gave me pleasure. This, however, was of use to me afterwards. When I wanted to buy something which I did not really need, I said to_(I), “Dont give too much for the whistle,” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, I thought I m

32、et with many, very many, “who gave too much for the whistle.” When I saw some man full of desire for court favor, wasting his time at court meetings, giving up his rest, his liberty, his noble character, and perhaps his friends, for the favor, I said-“This man can give too much for his whistle.” Whe

33、n I saw another full of love for _(be) famous, “He pays, indeed,” said I, “too dear for his whistle.” In short, the _(suffer) of mankind are _(large) due to their putting a false value on things- “too much for their whistles.”Passage IXThere are two areas in which the mass media compete for attentio

34、n-the entertainment field and the information field. As for the entertainment field, _(print) words can apply a good deal else, but they cannot supply pictured motion-and-action drama. Therefore, TV now has the edge in the entertainment field and will _(increase) add to that edge. Television is also

35、 making an effort in the non-entertainment, the information area. You meet the press _ television, you meet your government leaders there, and your writers meet their readers there. The commentators and the columnists very often appear on the not-so- silver screen. And there is no doubt that TV has

36、done an important job in _(cover) some spot news. Yet, _ the whole, it has not done a good new job. Moreover, even if it _(be) doing that job well, I dont believe it could take the place of the newspaper, for these among various reasons. All this explains why TV, _ is basically an entertainment medi

37、um, cannot take the place _ the place of the newspaper, which is-or should be-an information medium. It shows that the newspaper must stick _ its last, which is to provide the news _(effective).Passage XThere was once a town in the heart of America. All life there seemed to live in peace with its_(s

38、urround). The town lay in the middle of wealthy farms, with fields of rice, wheat, corn or other crops, and hillsides of trees of orange, apple or other fruits. In spring, white clouds moved slowly above the green fields. In summer wheat waved in the wind, _(produce) the song of golden ocean. In aut

39、umn various fruits changed the colour of the slopes. The foxes barked in the hills and goats _(silent) crossed the fields, half_(hide) in the fog of the autumn mornings. Along the roads fresh wildflowers delighted the _(travel) eyes through much of the year. Even _ winter the roadsides were places o

40、f beauty. Countless birds came to feed on the seed heads of the _(dry) plants rising above the snow. The countryside was, in fact, famous for its rich and various kinds of bird life. When the flood of birds poured through in spring and autumn people travelled great distances to visit them. Others ca

41、me _(fish) in the streams, pools or ponds, _ flowed clear and cold out of the hills. So it had had been from the days many years ago, when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells and built their cattle shelters. This town does not actually exist, but it might _(easy) have a thousand

42、 examples of this kind in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no town that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these has actually happened somewhere, and many real towns or cities have already suffered a number of them. Great misfortunes have crept over us witho

43、ut _(we) notice, and this _(imagine) town may easily become real.Passage XIThe only crime I have ever been connected with was unsuccessful. One summer night I went to bed, leaving my bedroom open because it was very hot. During the night I _(wake) up by the sound of a match_(strike). For a moment I

44、thought it must be the friend_ whom I lived, but then I remembered he was away. I felt certain there was someone in the room. I saw the outline of a man _(stand) near the door. Without thinking what I _(do), I shouted loudly and jumped out of bed to catch the man. As I ran across the garden, I sudde

45、nly realized I was doing something very foolish. The burglar I _(chase) might be carrying a knife. I went straight back into the house and locked all the doors to protect_(I). This was a very small crime which did not succeed, but crime is a serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which partic

46、ularly_(large) worries people is juvenile delinquency(青少年犯罪)-that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years, juvenile delinquency _(increase). There are two main sorts of juvenile crime: stealing and violence. Although it is difficult to explain why there are so many crimes among the youn

47、g, I think perhaps there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact _ all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences young people, but I think that young people are very much in

48、fluenced by the society they grow up in.Passage XIIWe buried Donald Brown in May. He was murdered by three man who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he_(protect). Patrolman Brown was 61 years old, six months from retirement. He and his wife intended to retire to Florida _ the end of the year. No

49、w there _(be) no retirement in the sun, and she is alone. Donald Brown was the second police officer to die since I became commissioner here _ November15, 1972.The first was John Schroeder, a detective _(shoot) in a pawnshop robbery last November. He was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was kill

50、ed in a bank robbery in 1970. Their names are together on the honour roll in the lobby of Police Headquarters.John Murphy didnt die. He was shot in the head last February as he chased a robbery suspect into Washington Street subway station. He lived, _ he will be brain-_(damage) for the rest of his

51、life, unable to walk or talk. At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun, the kind one can buy _(near) from everywhere for a few dollars. Those who dont want to buy one can steal one, and half a million are stolen each year. Three are forty million handguns _(circulate) in this cou

52、ntry; two and half million are _(sell) each year. Anybody can get a gun. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that the gun is no longer merely the instrument of crime; it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the eleven Boston police officers killed since 1962, seven were killed with handgun

53、s; of the seventeen wounded by guns since 1962, sixteen were shot with handguns.Passage XIIII didnt know what I wanted _(be) in my last year of High School. I changed my mind every week or so. For a while I thought of _(become) a music teacher, or a science teacher. I also thought about a vet, or ge

54、tting some other sort of job where I could work with animals. Then, about halfway through the year, something which happened helped me decide what I really wanted. I got a _(drive) license. My sister was a instructor at the time, and I had a friend who was a motor mechanic. We used_(spend) every spa

55、re minute travelling around in my mothers Cortina. I became crazy about cars. I got to the stage where I was reading car magazines every night instead of _(watch) TV. My father got a pretty tired of all this and suggested one evening that I _(become) a motor mechanic. He was only joking, but it star

56、ted me thinking why shouldnt I?_(difficult) thing was finding someone willing to employ me. I wrote to the manager of every garage in Canberra _(ask) for a job. Only two of them were willing to give me an interview. One manager kept asking me really difficult questions and laughing at me every time I couldnt answer. I could see that he did not want to employ me. The other manager, _ is now my boss, was really decent, but he was not very _(encourage) at first. It was my confidence that changed his mind at last.Passage XIVFor three-(four) of the time the wife of a fisherman does
