三、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分, 满分30分)
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not 36 . In the 37 of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually 38 saying poetry aloud and giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were 39 for advanced degrees had to 40 questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This 41 exists today as part of the process of 42 candidates(应试者)for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, 43 , modern examinations are written. The written examination, 44 all students are tested on the same questions, was probably 45 until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great 46 in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, 47 exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, is similar to a group of 48 at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are 49 to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes 50 and “objective test”. It is intended to deal with facts, not 51 opinions. To 52 an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has 53 one correct answer and also three statements that 54 answers to students who have not learned the material 55 .
36. A. writing B. speaking C. written D. listening
37. A. governments B. schools C. homes D. offices

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We bought the latest rage(流行), Baby-Sitter’s Club dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else."
It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the "right bike" for our little girl. So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p. m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nestled (依偎着) snug (舒适的) in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. "What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?”her dad asked.”This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl,’ it would be much better for her to pick it out." So he spent the next four hours hard-working with clay to make a tiny bike.
On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. "Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?" Beaming(喜气洋洋的), I said, "Yes." Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike." At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!
56. Choose the right time order of the following events.
a. The girl asked for a new bike.
b. The girl opened the little heart-shaped package.
c. The parents bought the girl a modem and popular doll.
d. The father made the girl a bike with clay.
e. The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one.
A. a, b, c, e, d B. a, c, d, b, e C. a, c, b, d, e D. a, b, d, c, e
57. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike for ever.
B. Tears were in the girl’s eyes because she didn’t like the present at all.
C. The girl never lost her desire for a bike.
D. The parents paid little attention to the daughter’s desire for a bike.
58. Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?
A. He wanted his daughter to buy a real one.
B. He didn’t want to disappoint his daughter.
C. He thought his daughter would like it.
D. He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.
59. What can be inferred from the last sentence?
A. The parents were happy and encouraged.
B. The parents felt comfortable and relaxed.
C. The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl.
D. The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl.

Welcome to our introductory course on nutrition (营养学) . This first lecture will center on a very valuable member of the bean family, the soy bean. The soy bean is a highly nutritious bean which also can serve as a meat substitute (替代物). Some people call soy beans unthinkable. Let me give you some examples of why the soy bean is so special. First of all, when it is made into meal, it improves animal feed. Secondly, as soy flour it similarly enriches the baked goods we humans eat. Thirdly, as soy chips or flakes(薄片), it’s often included in cereals(谷类). And lastly, in some countries, for example, China, the soy bean is made into really all fresh milk consumed there. It is also the basic part of vegetable protein(蛋白质) which brings a meat-like taste and feel to vegetarian dishes. For many years soy beans were thought of in the United States only as a commercial agricultural crop. Now, however, the soy bean is being raised in backyard gardens. It’s easy to grow and, as I have pointed out before, beneficial in many ways.
60. The main idea of the passage is that ______.
A. the soy bean is the basic part of vegetable protein B. the soy bean is easy to grow
C. soy beans are delicious D. soy beans have many uses
61. The lecture is most probably given by ______ .
A. an English language teacher B. a food producer
C. a nutrition professor D. an American farmer
62. What is one important character of the soy bean?
A. It is a meat substitute. B. It is often used for backyard gardens.
C. It is a complete milk substitute. D. It is easily made into flour at home.
C
Disposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modem society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste.
63. The most suitable title for this passage would be____________.
A. Places for Disposing Waste B. Waste Pollution Dangers
C. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D. Waste Disposal Problem
64. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for
A. burying it B. recycling it C. burning it D. throwing it into rivers
65. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A. Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.
C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.
D. Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.
66. The main purpose of writing this article is to
A. draw people’s attention to waste management
B. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing
C. call on people to take part in recycling programs
D. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste
D
The Three Gorges Dam, the largest dam, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Yangtze River, into a tame river, and to generate(产生) power of 181,200 megawatts for Eastern and Central China. It will form a huge, deep water lake, and make it possible for 10 000 ton ocean—going ships to sail 1,500 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing, making it one of the world's largest inland ports.
Construction has already started. The dam will be about 6 860 feet wide and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang. It is obvious that such a grand project will do much good. It is the most important to control floods. By building hydropower plants, China will offer much in environmental projection(计划). However, some scientists don't agree to the project. They say the Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will pollute the reservoir(水库),which will destroy the ecological(生态学)balance and also the sand from upstream will form sand bed. The Three Gorges Dam could be considered when it is finished, in 2009, the eighth wonder of the world.
67. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam?
A. To prevent floods. B. To produce electricity.
C. To improve the sailing conditions. D. To make it a wonder.
68. Where does the dam lie?
A. Near Chongqing. B. In Sandouping. C. Near Yichang. D. In Yichang.
69. Some scientists fear that _______ when the dam is built.
A. the ecological balance will be destroyed
B. large ships will destroy the dam
C. the Yangtze River may be too crowded
D. the amount of electricity will not be as much as expected
70. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. China will be able to depend on the Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world, for electricity.
B. Chongqing will become one of the largest inland ports in the world.
C. The dam will cause serious pollution.
D. The dam will tame the Yangtze River.

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).
ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."
Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
71.According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________.
A.in existence B.imaginative C.not real D.impossible
72.ESP lets people know___________.
A.about events before they happen B.about events after they happen
C.about events that are happening some distance away. D.A and C
73.By studying ESP, scientists may get to_________.
A.learn how people tell lies B.know more about human dreams
C.know more about human mind D.learn how strange things happen
74.In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means ____.
A.things that may not happen B.things that happen in a dream
C.things that must happen D.things that happen by accident
75.This article is mainly about_________.
A. the human dream B. the sixth sense C. the human mind D. a crowded bus
