ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with th

30、e word or phrase that best fits the context. (A)Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some _55_ ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got

31、 to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me _56_! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have _57_ to watch the race. “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday, ” one punter (赛马经纪人) told me , “and I thought I”d have a look. I didn”

32、t believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse _58_, and there are clear favourites. _59_ nobody has heard anything about these _6

33、0_! Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case. ” I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite _61_. In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the _62_ just

34、to give them some encouragement, I ought to add! The sheep run surprisingly fast, _63_ they have probably not eaten for a while. Anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, _64_ by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.55. A. common B. strange C. swift D.

35、illegal56. A. honestly B. surprisingly C. completely D. correctly57. A. showed off B. brought up C. turned up D. looked forward58. A. behind time B. in progress C. in advance D. in time59. A. But B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise60. A. horses B. sheep C. races D. stories61. A. exciting B. danger

36、ous C. boring D. peculiar62. A. race B. hill C. track D. field63. A. if B. so C. yet D. although64. A. observing B. judging C. considering D. inferring(B)The British love to think of themselves as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases” and “thank you”, Even the simplest busi

37、ness such as buying a train ticket requires _65_ seven or eight of these. Another _66_ of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the _67_ national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But

38、does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours? I think not.Take forms of address (称呼) for example. The average English person _68_ he happens to work in a hotel or department store would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam”. Yet

39、 in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our _69_ “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express _70_. I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou” (Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic w

40、ords for “you”); “you” would be _71_ for strangers and professional relationships.And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British _72_ ever touch? Personally. I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite ch

41、arming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is _73_. you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be _74_ than that?65. A. at least B. at most C. less than D. not more than66. A. signal B. sce

42、ne C. sign D. sight67. A. true B. original C. superior D. advanced68. A. if B. whether C. when D. unless69. A. universal B. unique C. regular D. normal70. A. politeness B. gratitude C. democracy D. consideration71. A. ordered B. reserved C. offered D. stocked72. A. highly B. mostly C. hardly D. near

43、ly73. A. confirmed B. assured C. jammed D. blocked74. A. better B. ruder C. more polite D. more frighteningV. Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C a

44、nd D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)While reading, you may focus on the Q (question) and A (answer) on the following web page.Q: My husband and I would like to spend five or six days in the Maldives. Could you suggest some low-p

45、riced hotels? We”ll be there in November. Jan Davies, email.A: Prices in the Maldives are high. The cheaper hotels (and there aren”t many) mightn”t be much to look at, with unpleasant rooms, iron roofs, old buildings, poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities, but they get their atmosphere from

46、 cheerful customers and an untidy, free island feel.Angaga (South Ari Atoll, phone 0011 960 450510), Asdu Sun Island (North Male Atoll, email HYPERLINK mailto:info.mv info.mv) are both a bit like this.You”ll be there in the low season (May to November), when it”s still warm, but there”s a greater li

47、kelihood of rain, so you should be able to get a double (standard) room with full board (three meals a day) for $100 a night.However, pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard, superior and luxurious rooms.Q: My husband and I are from Australia. We are planning a four-wee

48、k trip to London, Dublin and Paris in October and we are shocked by the cost of hotels. We have searched the Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we can”t find anything cheaper than $150 a night. John Maloney, email.A: For Australians traveling Europe, especially its capit

49、al cities, is expensive. You may have to increase your budget (预算). However, if you can”t afford these costs, then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared bathroom cost about $20 a person in Dublin and Paris and $35 in London. The minimum you would pay for a d

50、ouble room in a central area is $50 a person in Dublin and Paris and $70 in London. These prices are for shared bathroom facilities, though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in.Not all hotels are equal, of course, and it”s a good idea to consult a guidebook with a good rep

51、utation.75. The hotel Angaga in the Maldives _.A. attracts untidy people B. has some basic facilitiesC. has the best landscape D. can be contacted by email76. If you spend your holiday in the Maldives in February _.A. there is a greater likelihood of rainB. the weather will probably be better than t

52、hat of the low seasonC. standard, superior and luxurious rooms are all availableD. a standard room with full board will cost less than $100 a night77. What is the advice for the couple planning to visit Europe in October?A. They could live in hotel rooms of lower standard.B. They should put up with

53、the wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast.C. They should buy a reliable guidebook instead of increasing the budget.D. They should stay in hotels in a central area.(B)Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the w

54、ay of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. Maria gave her the

55、 name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You”re just the kind of person we need here. You”re being wasted in your other job. G

56、ive me a call in a day or two. I”m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building. That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided

57、to come back to work today?”This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right, she was being wasted in this job.“Look,” she said angrily, “if you don”t like the way I work, I don”t need to stay here. I”ll go where I”m appreciated! Good-bye!” She took up her thi

58、ngs and stormed out of the office.That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think ?”“Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”“Well, not exactly, but ”Maria continued, “Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms. Kenny

59、if you need one?”“A recommendation? from Ms. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone. “Martha, I hope you didn”t burn your bridges.” Maria said, “I think I would have handled it differently.”78.
