二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

  阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

You need some of the talents of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students, you must be a clear speaker,   16   agood, strong pleasing voice which is fully under your control, and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning   17  .

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit quietly before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching, he walks about, using his   18  , hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always   19   according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the talents of a good actor doesn’t   20   that he will be able to perform well on the stage, for there are very important   21   between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.

The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart, he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part,   22   his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually prepared beforehand(提前). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.

A good teacher   23   inquite a different way. His students take an active part in his class. They ask and answer questions. However, sometimes they don’t   24   anything, the teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class. He can’t keep his part in his mind, but must   25   it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

16. A. about                  B. with                         C. for                           D. under

17. A. clear                   B. common                   C. difficult                   D. different

18. A. words              B. languages                 C. arms                        D. ears

19. A. making              B. changing                  C. expressing                D. giving

20. A. talk                    B. express                     C. speak                    D. mean

21. A. things                 B. differences               C. points                             D. advantages

22. A. just                    B. seldom                     C. ever                         D. even

23. A. walks                 B. works                             C. learns                    D. replies

24. A. give                   B. put                          C. follow                      D. hear

25. A. create                 B. discover                   C. teach                        D. continue

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights, you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.

The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:

28. Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.

27. Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.

28. Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others.

29. Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse and neglect(虐待和忽略).

30. No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.

31. Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.

In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work

long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.

The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are

not always the rights children really have.

31. ______agree with the United Nations’ list of children’s rights.

   A. All countries        B. A few countries       C. No countries              D. Most countries

32. The underlined word “responsibility” in the passage means ______.

D. Children under sixteen should not fight in an army.

34. Some children can’t get an education because ______.

   A. there aren’t enough schools                     B. there are no schools

   C. they come from rich families                  D. they want to work in factories

   C. Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered.

   D. The United Nations has listed the rights it thinks children should have.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds (种子) that have been taken to space and brought back to the earth. The seeds are affected by the radiation (辐射) and low gravity in space. When they are brought back to the earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger and healthier than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could make us get sick because of the radiation in space. However, people should not be frightened because space vegetables are very healthy.

Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully chosen. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that they will be safe to eat.

Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes.

After genetically modified (转基因) food appeared in the market, people worried that they were eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes (坚果基因) are put inside potatoes, people allergic to nuts might get sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified food, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, there are nodangers of eating something unknown.

36. The seeds brought back from space produce ______vegetables according to the passage.

   A. more delicious                                       B. healthier and bigger

C. more dangerous                                     D. cheaper and healthier

37. Genetically modified food is different from space vegetables because it ______.

   A. is grown in space                                   B. has nothing unknown

   C. has been genetically changed                   D. has no new genes

   A. seven                B. thirteen                     C. twenty                      D. twenty-seven

39. The underlined word “allergic” means “______” in Chinese.

   A. 过敏                B. 种植                        C. 发现                        D. 出售

40. The writer wants to tell us that ______.

   A. space vegetables are grown in space

   B. everybody worries about eating space vegetables

   C. space vegetables are safe and good for people to eat

   D. space vegetables may bring illness to us because of the radiation in space

In the summer of 2011 my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would not be seen among the tourists and lose lots of chances to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and tried to come up with a free tour to Italy.

The trip was not very long but it was so exciting that we never forgot. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially worried about my visa, but everything went quite well in the end.

The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate (领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheaptickets and we bought ours far earlier. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the centre of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

Every day we took a train that carried us to the centre of Rome. Our big house was among the forest. The beautiful views, nice hosts, comfortable living conditions made us happy to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our hostess was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that wasof great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that wereally enjoy travelling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book wherever we wanted to go and we even met some of our countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single” trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their local language.

41. From the passage, we know the writer chose the free tour to Italy because ______.

   A. his friend invited him there          

B. he wanted to spend less money

C. it was very hard for him to find a travel agency

D. he wanted to get familiar with the country more closely

42. The hardest thing in preparing for his Italian trip was ______.

   A. booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome

   B. buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before travelling

   C. solving the ticket problem and booking a hotel far earlier

   D. getting a visa from the Italian consulate without an invitation

 

43. In the fourth paragraph the writer mainly explains why______.

   A. the hostess gave them some advice

   B. he chose to live in the centre of Rome

   C. the hotel he booked was the right choice

   D. they chose to travel by train during their Italian trip

44. Which of the following questions is NOT answered in the article?

   A. How did the writer prepare for his trip?

   B. Why did the writer decide to go to Italy for a holiday?

   C. What transport did the writer choose for his travelling?

   D. Why did the writer decide not to go through a travel agency?

45. From the article, we can know the writer ______.

   A. likes to travel with tour guides

   B. met a lot of his countrymen in Italy

   C. advises us to arrange trips by ourselves

   D. enjoys travelling everywhere in the world

Gap year adventures – don’t the very words make you smile?! They do. The words “gap year adventures” remind you of images of beaches, mountains and forests, memories of friends and experiences we’ll never, ever forget. Gap year adventures come in all lengths and costs – it’s up to you to make the most of it.

Long or short?

It’s entirely up to you how long your gap year adventure is. You can spend as little as a week abroad, or more than 12 months.

How much will it cost?

The million-dollar question! Thankfully, the answer isn’t a million dollars! Gap year adventures don’t have to cost the earth.

Plus, gap year adventures can include earning money, so you can pay for some independent (自主的) travel, and if your adventure is in somewhere like Thailand, the cost of living is much less than back home.

Volunteering, working, learning, travelling...?

Planning your gap year adventure is half the fun. The choices are various - you can devote your gap year adventure to learning a new skill or improving an existing one, earning some money or exploring a country. Or you can do a mixture of things.

Will I be safe?

As long as you’re sensible, you almost certainly will be. Gap year adventures aren’t 100 per cent foolproof (万无一失的), but then neither (也不) is a trip to the movies. Sometimes things don’t go quite to plan but one of the things that gap year adventures teach people is how to deal with problems inunfamiliar situations.

 

62   to plan your gap year adventures？
Gap year adventures can help you   63   beaches, mountains and forests, experiences and friends that you will   64  ，ever forget.
Length	It’s your own   65   whether your trip is for one week or more than twelve months.
Cost	You don’t need to spend   66  . What’s more, gap year adventures can include earning money, so you are able to   67   some independent travel. The cost of living back home is much   68   than that of living in places like Thailand.
Choice	You can learn a   69  , earn some money or just travel.
70	As long as you’re sensible, you almost certainly will be safe. However, sometimes things don’t go quite to plan   71   atrip to the movies.

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卷标号为72—81的相应位置上。 

Driving your own car saves you from the trouble of catching buses and trains. But with the gas prices and parking costs up, are you sure driving your own car to work every day is still a

w  72   choice?

Of all the problems on costs, energy consumption (花费) is the b  73   one in having too many cars on the road. You must have noticed already how t  74   the traffic is. That leads to a great part of greenhouse effect.

With all these d  75   of using a private (私人的) car as a way of transportation, you surely can do something smart and come up with your own green vehicle ride. What can you do to r  76   your costs on gas and at the same time, help form an eco-friendly lifestyle?

The most p  77   way to solve this problem on transportation is the ride share. This is a smart and fun way to travel to w  78  . You can call your neighbors and friends to just one vehicle. Here are some of the advantages of s  79   aride with your friends:

15. You can save up on gas and parking costs.

17. You can help make less air pollution.

18. You can help save o  80  , which is a non-renewable form of energy.
