第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 21 up at me and said, "I love you." I didn't know what to say. For several 22 all I could do was to 23 there and looked down at him. My first thought was that he must need 24 with his homework or he was trying to 25 me for some news.

Finally I asked,"What was that all about?"

"Nothing," he said. "My teacher said we should 26 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It is 27 . "

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this "experiment" and how the other parents had 28

"Most of the father had the 29 reacting (感应) as you did," the teacher said. "When I first 30 we try this,I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. "The 31 is, the teacher explained,"feeling loved is an important part of 32 It is something all people 33 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 35 we don't all express those feelings. A boy should be 35 to tell his dad he loves him."

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 36 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for 37 second. And just before he 38 away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, "Hey, I love you, too."

I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children said "I love you", it wouldn't take me a whole 39 to think of the right 40

Email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.

Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.

“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write.Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. “The more we use email and its ta steless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.

Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.”

Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email’s close similarity to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.Still,

he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. Emails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.

45. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that ________.

A. careless people use email more than careful people

B. email requires people to change their native language

C. professors in un iversities don’t need to use email

D. people communicate by email full of mistakes

46. What does the underlined word “it”(in Paragraph 4) refer to?

A. The poor writing.

B. Email.

C. The good writing.

D. A new communication technology.

47. In Lancashire’s opinion, email is a wonderful technology because _______.

A. it can be useful all over the world

B. it is the fastest way to communicate

C. we can express ourselves in a free way

D. we can save a lot of paper

48. This passage mainly shows us that ______.

A. people should stop using email to communicate

B. experts hold different opinions about email writing

C. Americans only use email to communicate

D. email makes people lose interest in English

49. Which of the following is NOT true about email?

A. It is changing the way of communication.

B. It is used more than letters in the US.

C. It helps us write better.

D. It causes us to write more.

C

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eight grade at the time,and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn' t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on

her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow upi she mentioned how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on,1 found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me,it looked as though I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed strange right to her that I hadn't mentioned anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even though I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen,I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

50. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy_________.

A. to go on writing his paper

B. to stop whispering

C. to leave the room immediately

D. to stay behind after the exam

52. The teacher_________.

B. said whispering in the exam was wrong

C. told him not to do the same next time

D. emphasized the importance of doing the paper all by oneself

53. The boy knew everything_________.

A. the moment he was asked to stay behind

B. when the teacher started talking about history

C. only some time later

D. when he was walking out of the room

54. The boy_________.

A. didn't have any more talk with the teacher

B. met the teacher again but said nothing

We live in a dangerous world. The figures for crime go up year by year. If you were attacked in the street, would you be able to defend yourself? Not very well probably, especially if someone was pointing a gun at you. We all see a lot of violence(暴力) in films,but recently some programmes on television without guns. For example,in one film a woman was attacked behind. She threw the man, who was heavier and stronger than she was,over her head. Then she held him tightly on the ground. How? She knew judo.

Jiu-jitsu,as judo is sometimes called, means ' muscle science' in Japanese. The student of judo needs to learn a lot about the body, its bones and muscles. Judo uses a number of 'falls' 'holds' and 'throws'. Someone who does not know judo cannot defend himself against them. If you know judo you can defend yourself against a person who is stronger than you. (You had Better not practise judo on your friends unless they can fall without hurting themselves!)Being strong is one thing,but using the body wisely is another. In judo you use the other person's body to help you. You 'throw' him to the ground and 'hold' him there, so that he can't move. Of course,it takes time and practice, but knowing judo is useful. In a violent world you ought to be able to defend yourself.

55. The world is dangerous because_________.

A. there are too many televisions

B. people are not able to defend themselves

C. people don't carry guns

D. there is more violence and crime every year

56. Which of these is true?

A. The woman knocked the man down the ground.

B. The woman attacked the man from behind.

C. The woman was able to defend herself.

D. The woman held the man over her head.

57. What does the word 'Jiu-jitsu' name in Japanese?

A. The name of a student learning judo.

B. Science dealing with muscles.

C. A type of fighting.

D. Violence in films.

58. One who knows judo_________.

A. would be able to throw himself to the ground

B. cannot defend himself against others

C. can use the other person's body to help himself

D. may not defend himself against a person who is stronger than he

There was a robbery at City Central Bank late yesterday afternoon. Two men entered the bank at about 4 p. m. and told the bank teller on duty to give them $ 1,000,000. The robbers told all the customers in the bank to lie down on the floor. Witnesses (目击者) said that everyone in the bank was very frightened and did what the robbers told them.

The teller agreed to give them the money but told them they'd have to wait a few minutes. She said the bank manager would have to get the money out of the safe. As the robbers were waiting for the money, the teller managed to press an alarm button that was hidden under the counter. It was a silent alarm so the robbers didn't realize it had been set off.

Police congratulated Miss Alston,the bank teller,on her brave act. The bank manager said that he would give Miss Alston a week's vacation to thank her.
