第二节：完形填空 （共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30分）

As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious (反叛) on the outside, 36 on the inside I wanted people to 37 me.

Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t 38 , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular 39 me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different — not so outwardly sure of myself.

I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 40 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 41 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 42 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 43 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 44 me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I’ve ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful 45 ,but I was the only person who could fill my 46 .She made me realize that even with my 47 , — and there were many — I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.

I became a searcher, 48 who I was and what made me unique. My 49 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to 50 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 51 who I really was. I came to feel much more 52 that no one can ever take my place.

Each of us 53 a unique place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So 54 about being replaced. You 55 be.

A

For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals at night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.

“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it’s easy to take people in,” he said.

One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.

“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.

Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his cheating for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders.

“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problem. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behavior of the psychiatrists(精神科医生) who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,” Judge Adams warned York.

56 York was proud of the fact that _________

A. a surgeon let him watch an operation

B. he could perform some duties of a doctor

C. he had cheated doctors for so long

D. people thought he could become a real doctor

57 York learned how to behave like a doctor by _____

A. watching other doctors work

B. talking to doctors and nurses

C. getting some training and experience

D. observing doctors while he was a patient

58 Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?

A. She had swallowed something and almost died

B. She had to have an emergency operation

C. She had been injured in a road accident

D. She had lost consciousness while driving

59 The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he _____

A. pretended to be a psychiatrist

B. tried to get away from prison

C. was proud of what he had done

D. studied the behavior of the psychiatrist

B

President Coolidge’s statement, “ The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today that business institutions have more prestige（威望）in America society than any other kind of organizations, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?

One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the aim of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.

Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly（垄断）of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for advantage. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollars, they can not afford to treat them like inferiors（下等人）or slaves.

A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important as, or even more important than, democracy (民主) in preserving freedom.

60 The statement “ The business of America is business” probably means _________.

A. America is a great power in world business

B. its business is competitive and has a lot to do with Americans

C. the business institutions in America are more important than the government.

D. business problems are of great importance to the American government.

61 Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only _____.

A. by protecting their individual freedom.

B. when given equality of opportunity

C. by way of competition

D. through doing business

62 Who can benefit from business competition?

A. People with aims of equality and freedom.

B. Both business institutions and government

C.Honest businessmen

D. Both businessmen and their customers

63 Government is believed to differ sharply from business because of ______.

A. its role in protecting basic American values.

B. its complete control of power

C. its democratic way of exercising leadership

D. its function in preserving personal freedom

C

The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there’s a power failure, people grope（摸索）about in candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.

Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit human-beings.

All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram（心电图）,which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram（脑电图）. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small— often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.

The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt (摇摆) of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. ( an electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to length of its body.

64 What might be the best title of the passage?

A. Secrets of electricity B. History of electricity

C. The amazing electric eel D. Modern age of electricity

65 People began to understand ___ a little more than two centuries ago.

A. the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity.

B. how an electrocardiogram forms

C. brain waves of electricity

D. how electricity works

66 The word “eel” refers to a kind of ______.

A. electricity B. fish C. mammal D. container

67 What could we conclude from the passage?

A. All living things generate electricity

B. All electricity benefits human-beings

C. All things will spoil without electricity

D. The age of electricity has been several centuries

D

There are two opposing theories about what makes a good relationship. Some psychologists believe opposites attract and form a complete unit. Others swear by the old saying “birds of a feather stay together.” Either type of relationship can work equally well, but research has shown that couples who share similar interests, attitudes and backgrounds are more likely to stay together longer. Of course, it’s tempting(诱惑,吸引人的) to believe in the first flush of passion that your love can overcome all barriers, but in reality that is unlikely to be the case. Successful relationships also need their fair share of that hard –to-define factor known as “chemistry” But all of these things aside, most happy and contented couples would agree that a relationship cannot survive if it doesn’t have one key ingredient — compatibility(相容性). To identify how compatible you and your partner really are, choose one answer only to each question in the following section A , then (but only if you think you can stand to hear the worst!) compare your answers with those of your partner.

Section A General Relationship

This section concerns the quality of your interpersonal relationship with your partner ---- how much you like to be together, how much intimacy(亲密) and caring there is, how you deal with disagreements, jealousies, and the whole process of give and take. In many ways, this is the most sensitive indicator of compatibility since it affects, and is influenced by, all the other more specific areas.

3 On your birthday, your partner would…

a. Instinctively(本能地) know exactly what would please you.

7 You arrive home hot and tried from work. Your partner would…

a Make allowance for your bad temper and do their best to put you in a good mood.

b Pour you a stiff drink and stay out of you for a while.

c Bombard you with problems of their own before you get a chance to sit down.
