第三部分：完形填空（20分）
My favorite proverb is “Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.” This tells procrastinators (拖拉者) to do projects before they’re due.
Procrastinators usually begin at a(n) 36 age when their parents tell them to put away their toys or brush their teeth before bed.
“I’ll do it during the TV advertisements” and “I’ll wash the dishes after I read this magazine” are 37 young procrastinator replies. I was in seventh grade when I had this moment of 38 .
As a child, my parents were always asking me about my 39 . As I grew older, they began to 40 me. Instead of asking if I had something to do every 15 minutes, they 41 to every 20 minutes. I never noticed I was a procrastinator because I didn’t 42 my homework for very long.
43 the seventh grade, this 44 caught up with me over a project on history. At first, I thought, “Well, I’ve got to do it.” It didn’t 45 long for that to quickly turn into another 46 . Later on, I was in a complete mess. “Why do today what you can do tomorrow” became my 47 . Homework that I’d hardly begun working on, were in fact 48 due.
It was on that day that I realized my 49 . I, yes, I, was a procrastinator. It 50 me like a ton of bricks. At that moment I made up my mind: never 51 would I let this happen.
I realized that 52 you have fallen this far into the hole, it’s hard to get yourself 53 . However, I tried and I 54 . And here I am, at 12:30 Thursday night, writing this passage. I’d like to 55 all young future procrastinators, don’t be like me.

The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or love?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．
Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．In response, employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality．
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know．This is often called aptitude (天资）test．
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult．“When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．”
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma (窘境)．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest, but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is the honest answer．
60．What is the purpose of the passage?

C．To advise you how to find a good job．

63．From the passage we know that ________．
A．job applicants are always asked such questions
B．applicants should not act as cleverly as possible
C．more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
D．aptitude test is becoming world-wide popular

The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical” stages of light, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit（发出） radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
64. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a new regulation for all airlines B. the defects （缺陷）of electronic devices
C. a possible cause of aircraft crashes D. effective safety measures for air flight
65. Few airlines want to impose (强制实行) a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because _______ .
A. they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
C. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of electronic devices
D. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
66. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’s computers?
A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.
B. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.
C. Because scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.
D. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.
67. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ______.
A. is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices completely
B. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference
C. hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problem.
D .regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight
D
It is often said that the language we use online is less formal than that we use in a letter or, on certain occasions, in direct speech. To some extent this is true, but it can also be a misleading and dangerous assumption.
The thing about online communication is that you have no idea what the person who is reading your message is feeling. For this reason it is always a good idea to be polite and cautious when writing e-mail or instant message to your friends.
Chinese can be a direct language, but in English people often talk around a subject rather than address it head on. So instead of saying “ Please meet me here ” or “ Do this for me now ”, English speakers usually go for indirect phrases like “ Would it be possible ”, “ If you have time ” or “ It would mean a lot to me if…”.
If you have a close relationship with someone, you can still run into trouble if you are acid. If you have asked someone to do something and they need a bit more time, you might joke with them: “ What? You still haven’t done it yet? What’s wrong with you? ”. While this seems funny to you, teasing the other guy may not go down too well if your friend is not in the mood.
If you have foreign friends in different countries, the time difference can also be a factor. While you are waking up for class on Friday morning, they can be heading to a party on Friday night. You will be serious and they will, probably, be light-hearted. So don’t be annoyed if they seem distracted. Just try to message them while you are relaxing on Sunday night and they are getting up for work on Monday morning!
68. Why should we be polite and cautious when we communicate with others online?
A. Because the language we use online is usually more formal.
B. Because we don’t have a close friendship with the persons online.
C. Because we don’t know how the person we are talking to feels.
D. Because we may be talking with the person whose time is different from ours.
69. In the last paragraph the underlined word “ distracted ” means _____.
A. absent-minded B. excited C. worried D. tired
70. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. English is more direct than Chinese.
B. We’d better communicate with friends in a polite and cautious way any time.
C. If we try to message a foreign friend, do it on Monday morning.
D. The language we use online can sometimes cause misunderstanding.
