第三節(jié) 完形填空(共20小題; 每小題1.5分, 滿分30分)

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go
home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with the same 21 might go onto the Internet and write
about them in a 22 . In many ways, a diary and a
blog are very similar. So, what makes blogging 23 from writing in a traditional diary?
The biggest difference is that
blogging is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats
her diary like a book full of 25 that she does not want to share.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I 26 online to read her blog. She
writes about things 27 waking up early for swimming practice and
not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her age, I wrote about
the same things, 28 only in my diary. Then I 29 hide my diary in a secret place because I
was worried that my sister might read it!
Because blogging is such a public way of writing, it has 30 good and bad points. The biggest problem
with blogging is that anyone can 31 what you write. If I was angry with a
friend during high school and wrote something 32 about her in my diary, she would never
know. 33 , if my sister ever wrote
something bad about a friend, that friend might read her blog and become angry.
34 , we have to be very careful of what
we write.
There are also advantages to
blogging, of course. People choose to blog 35 they know that their friends will read
what they write. If I was 36 sad one day and wrote in my diary, nobody
37 me, because no one knows about it.
However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends
would quickly 38 and tell her how much they like her.
Blogs help people 39 contact with their friends and hear what
the people around them are doing. Blogs are a very good way to write about 40 , as long as people are careful
about what they write.

A
Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for
any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball. I was
useless.” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in
school gym classes in England’s
rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that
changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he
began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on
building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18,
he ran his first marathon.
The following year , he met John Ridgway, who because famous in the
1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean , Saunders was hired as
an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland , where he learned about the older man’s
cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic
explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his
future.
Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country
boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of
the few who didn’t say, ‘You’re completely crazy,” “Saunders says .
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier , Saunders started his first
long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite , had a
close encounter (遭遇)with a
polar bear and pushed his body to the limit .
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the
North Pale, and he’s skied more of the Arctic
by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the
transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of
Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an
1,800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis .

My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During
her month-long stay in Jerusalem
she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of
whom ? Alex ? used to live in Montreal.
One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend
Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had
nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and
that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he
quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General
of the United Nations (UN).
Emma had never
read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was
floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting(筆跡).It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a
Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses,
but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in
his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he
returned to California, he left the book
behind in Montreal,
and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.
46. Alex lent

A. to show his friendliness to her

Worried.
D. Surprised.

A study of
English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign
students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English
to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing
increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers
that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(顯著的) problem.
The
information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be
paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with
a reasonable motivation(動(dòng)機(jī)), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage
interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based
English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating
because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past.
Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of
activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable
that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the
teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a
major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language
needs of the students.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. Foreign students
have more problems.
B. There are many
ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should
meet students’ needs.
D. English learning
problems should be studied again.
51. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students________.
A. had to write
their papers
B. became better at
speaking
C. became less
interested in reading
D. had fewer
problems with listening
52. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. different teaching
methods should be used
B. grammar-based
teaching seems to be encouraging
C. English courses
are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content
should be changed halfway.
53. The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “__________”.
A. re-think
B. activity
C. motivation
D. timetable
D
Since my
retirement(退休) from
teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.
I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps
I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that
it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and
landscapes(風(fēng)景畫) much influenced(影響) by Krenkel and St. John for five
years.
For some
strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing
watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last
time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became
my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors
should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many
other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I
think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art
exhibitions.
Art is now together
with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world,
and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius
once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
54. What is the text mainly about?
A. Learning to paint
in later life.
B. How to paint
watercolors
C. An artist-turned
teacher
D. Life after
retirement
55. The author started drawing again in 1995 because_________.
A. he hoped to draw
a picture of his father
B. he couldn’t stop

after retirement

and landscapes
56. We can infer from the text that the author__________.
A. had been taught
by Krenkel and St. John
B. painted
landscapes in Minnesota
for 5 years
C. believed Wyeth to
be the best in watercolors
D. started his
retirement life at the age of seventy
57. How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?
A. Very
enjoyable. B. A bit regretful C. Rather busy. D.
Fairly dull.

One possible version:
Now
in country areas, there are many children out of school. I think one of the
reasons is that their families are too poor to afford their school. As a
result, they have to stay at home to get money to keep their families. Another
reason is that many parents think it useless for the girls to study and they
would not like them to go to school. A third reason is that some children are
not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school. In my
opinion all the children including the girls should have the chance to receive
education. All the people should pay attention to the children who will play a
very important part in the future of our country.
