Dr Reynolds was a(n) (31)eminentdoctor from the big city. Itseemed as if he was in the newspaper every day. My grandfather lived in asmall (32)suburboutside the city. This was at a time when such neighbourhoodswere still relatively new. People just couldn't understand why anyone would want to live so far from the city centre.However, the neighbourhood my grandfather lived in was growing every day. Many people couldn't afford to live in the city, and others were tired of the crowds. Cost and congestioncomprised a real (33)curseof the cities, a problem that has only gottenworse with time. Large sections of the urban (34)workforcewere moving out ofthe city to the smaller towns. Along with these people and their families, companies also started to relocate outside major cities. A great example of this was Dr Reynolds.It is impossible to overstate the (35)magnitudeof the significance thatDr Reynolds' move had on my grandfather's town. Because he was so famous, there was obviouslya considerable amount of (36)hypeassociated with his arrival. However, hequickly showed that he had the skills to back up his reputation. Dr Reynolds was not only abig, (37)brawnyman who played football in his youth, but he also graduatedat the top of his class in medical school.I'd be willing to (38)betthat this was one of the most exciting thingshappened in my grandfather's town. It must have been since he told the story so many times!Dr Reynolds' arrival (39)fundamentallychanged the dynamics of the town. It was nolonger "far away" from the city; it suddenly became "just outside" the city limits. Today, the world is changing much faster than can be measured by the arrival of a big-city doctor in asmall town. Who knows, maybe (40)somedayI'll have my own story to tell my owngrandchildren!Your answer Correct answer(31)eminent eminent(32)suburb suburb(33)curse curse(34)workforce workforce(35)magnitude magnitude(36)hype hype(37)brawny brawny(38)bet bet(39)fundamentally fundamentally(40)someday somedayPart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Sometimes it seems we hear about the wonders of modern technology on a daily basis. I will admit that it's hard to argue with the facts. Computers, automobiles, the Internet, and increasingly smaller handheld devices certainly do make our lives more convenient. Everything, it seems, is getting faster, lighter, cheaper, and smaller. Pretty soon, computers will be the size of iPods and iPods will be the size of fingernails.Technology is making our lives more convenient, to be sure. But is it making our lives better How dependent on these conveniences should we become How dependent have we already become Instant communication, video telephones, robots, thousands of songs in the palm of your hand—all of these things are now available at your local shopping centre. Indeed, what was once considered science fiction now seems downright plausible. I can realistically envision a world where literally everything we do depends on a computer or a machine and, frankly, it scares me.Consider the following scenario. Michael begins his day by waking up to an electric alarm clock. He gets dressed and pours himself a cup of coffee from a machine that is set to brew automatically every morning. He walks to the corner and boards a subway train for his commute to work. The train is controlled by a computer that knows how fast to go and when to slow down and stop. Michael entershis office building through doors that "see" he is coming and open for him. At work, Michael sitsin front of a computer all day to do his job. He writes e-mails, updates a Website, attends a video conference online, and makes telephone calls. At night, he relaxes in front of the television (which has recorded all of his favourite shows), or he reads an e-book on his smart phone. How much of Michael's day is not dependent on computers or machines How much of this scenario is unbelievable The answer: none of it. It is a daily reality for many people.Look around you. Do you use a computer to send e-mails, write reports, do homework, or search the Internet What happens when that computer gets a virus or breaks down Most people just sit there, baffled. They simply don't know what to do because they don't know how the computer works. We dependon computers to make our lives easier, and we depend on computer technicians to keep our computers operational. The same can be said for nearly any technology. That's why engineers, computer professionals, and technology consultants make such remarkable salaries.The more we rely on technology, the more we rely on specialists. The more we rely on specialists, the less responsible we feel to actually know how to do something. This is a slippery slope that will eventually lead most people to complete ignorance of how things work. It is ironic, then, that the very technologies that are currently touted as the greatest advancements in human knowledge could ultimately have the exact opposite effect.41.The writer of this passage would probably agree with which of the following statementsA. Technology is beginning to control our lives.B. Computers play a marginal role in our society.C. We rely on computer specialists because they are convenient.D. Technology is slowly becoming more expensive.42.The writer's scenario with Michael is presented in order to _____.A. describe an innovationB. substantiate his argumentC. illustrate an example from a bygone time.D. brag about personal accomplishments43.Which paragraph draws a personal analogy to the readerA. Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.44.Which of the following is the best one-sentence summary of this passageA. Technology makes our lives more convenient.B. Science fiction is becoming a daily reality.C. Everybody uses computers and other technologies.D. The more we rely on technology, the more helpless we become.45.Which of the following events does not support the writer's main ideaA. Marcus plays the latest video game after school.B. Lisa reads a book before going to bed each night.C. Carol uses a GPS system to find her way in a new city.D. Tony blogs and sends e-mails from his mobile phone.。

His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.。

新世纪大学英语系列教材,(第二版),综合教程1,cloze,答案
第一单元-clozeHow can student do well at school ? Are straight-A students always those who are the brightest? Students are very interesting in getting answers to questions like these as achieving academic excellence is , and will always be, one of their top priorties at school.A professor of education who has recently conducted a survey on the subject revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students . When some basic principles are followed, everyone can become a top student.to begin with, study should always be the number one priority for a student. Study time is always guaranteed and should never be compromised for personal recreation such as movies, tv programs or snacks. In addition, learning to be organized is very important. Keeping everything in its place and filing class notes in order are two good examples.Speaking up in class and asking questions is another winning formula. A student can clarify any doubts by asking questions. Particpation in group study is another help. by framing tentative test questions based on class notes, students can help each other prepare for tests. Last but not least, always hand in neat work. A student who turns in nest work is already on the way to scoring an A.A student may suffer from different kinds of pressure at school, but if he follows these principles in his studies, sooner or later he will become a top student.第二单元-clozeMany of us these days are learning language a foreign language. We are interesting in learning another language because we know that knowledge of another language and culture will increase our career opportunities, broaden our horizons and enrich our life. Since learning a foreign language is of such importance, no doubt people are constantly looking for more efficient ways of language learning. Most people say the best way to learn language is to say in the country where it is spoken. It is true those who go to a native country have advantage over those who don't . But living abroad needs money, and not everyone can affort to do so. Those who don't go abroad may turn to language schools for nguage schools usually claim that they can teach student to speak the language they want to learn fluently within 3 to 6 months because they have more qualified teachers and better facilities. To a certain extent, a good teacher is indeed important in language learning, but it would be ridiculous to claim that any teacher has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation. In fact, there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers,because every teacher is an individual with his / her own personality. What a student needs to remember then is to is to find out a method that best suits himself / herself.第四单元-clozeWhen I was a child, I was really proud of heaving a father who was a well-respected doctor. I beamed whenever my teachers said that I was set to become an honorableman like my father. However, all this changed when I grew into a teenager. I felt awkward that everybody around me only remembered me as Dr.Song's son. I protested and told them that I would prefer to stand on my own two feet. However, my compliments were never taken seriously and I continued to hear compliments about me, which were really meant for my father.I then grew very stubborn and even refused to call my father "Dad." Although my father forwned whenever I called him "Lao Song" my attitude towards him, as now recall, did not change until I had a car accident one day. I hit a young man's car and panicked as he threatened to beat me up when I told him no car insurance. When I got off my car and surveyed the damage, I could not help groaning.Out of fear, I told him "I'm Dr.Song's son." At this, a sign of recognition lit up his face; he smiled and forgave me. What could have been a very difficult situation turned out to be fine just because I was Dr.Song's son. How thankful I felt towards my father.第五单元-clozeWhen a person is born, he / she has a set of personalities that make him / her different from others. Psychologists believe that colors are sometimes a good way to include how a person behaves and the way he / she responds to things that are happening to him / her. They can also represent personality traits.Nonetheless, we cannot be absolutely sure about a person's characteristics by just looking at his / her preference for certain colors.Therefore, we should not be harsh and critical toward a person just because he / she likes specific color that not represent some positive traits or characteristics. Psychologists also believe that everyone can develop or change his / her personality. For example, if an individual wants to correct his / she negative traits such as his / she has to be immature behavior, he / she has to make an effort to do so. He /She has to be persistant and keep working hard to ensure that he / she can achieve his / her goal. Therefore, if a person is determined, he / she can change the traits he / she inherits from his / her parents. The important thing is to change for the better and not for the worse.第七单元-clozeBeing a good boss has never been easy for me. The most difficult part is not about work, but about dealing with relationships at the workplace. I each and every employee in my company is significant to its development, I need to give enough attention and care to everyone ang to be approachable to all. At the start of the business, I encountered difficult situations and I was unsure what the best way was to handle them. For example, when an employee made a mistake, I hesitated about whether to scold him or her. Would I appear to be an important boss to my employees if I did so?Would they continue to make mistakes if I was too lenient? Sometimes, I had to settle disputes among the employees if they did not see eye to eye with each other on some tasks. This too was difficult. Should I blame any party or should I defend anyone? How would I bring them to see their differences and find solutions without hurting each other ? Sometimes I also encountered difficultemployees who seemed to feel miserable whatever I did for them . Life has never been easy , but I have learning the ropes along the way. The essential principle is to treat the employees sincerely, appreciate their contributions to the company and reward them according. My employees are happy to have me as their boss, and are offering me all the assistance they could . They have great enthusiasm for their word and have contributed significantly to the company's development.。

James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens began—police cars, ambulances, fire engines. Itseemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001.Once he found out what happened, James left the building and went out to the streets, along with the rest of the city. Thousands of people were walking through the streets in a haze of disbelief and fear. By this point, everyone had also heard about the World Trade Center in New York and there was a rumor of yet another missing airplane that was headed to Washington. James looked right and saw the Capitol Building. He looked left and saw the Washington Monument and the White House. No place seemed safe.The subway stopped running and automobile traffic was at a total standstill. There was essentially no way out of the city. In addition, it was difficult to get a working cell phone signal since everyone was trying to make a call at the same time. The bright and beautiful September morning had suddenly andunexpectedly turned into a scene of horror and panic.James decided that the best thing to do was to walk away from all the famous government buildings and monuments and to find someplace safe to sitand wait. He would eventually find a way home, but he felt the most important thing to do at that moment was to find safety, contact his family, and get more information about what just happened.41.

A creative person I knowb. The traits that can be found in him / her▆ Sample Essay:My physics professor is a very creative person. His research project for his doctoral dissertation dealt with a very complicated physics problem at a time when many others thought it was impossible to solve it. But he creatively introduced a new concept and finally resolved the theoretical and experimental contradiction.He possesses many unique traits. He is very energetic andhard-working. He chairs the Physics Department and teaches many hours a week. Meanwhile, he is in charge of the university‟s technology research. Obviously he is a quick efficient worker. My professor can be eccentric, once he shocked the whole class by saying “Good physics, everyone” instead of “Good morning, everyone”. But above all, my professor has a sincere interest and a strong passion in his research field. No wonder he is highly respected by both his colleagues and his students.2) Some sayings in our life sound so familiar and natural to us that we take them for granted without a second thought. Do you realize that when you take them as “absolute truths”, you are locking your mind and creativityWrite a brief comment on such a saying in about 150 words.▇ Sample Essay:Popular Sayings May Become “Mental Locks”To cultivate a creative mind, one needs to chip away at one ‟s “mental locks”. Some of the “mental locks” are shaped by popular sayings,which sound so familiar to us that we tend to take them for granted. Instructive as they may be, these common statements may restrict our freedom to think.“Look before you leap!” We make this remark to caution someone to think carefully before making a decision or taking an action. It may seem sound advice, but it may also put him or her第16 / 17页in a passive position. He or she may just keep “looking” round and without making a “leap”. Similarly, we may say to the same person, “Don’t let the chance slip through your fingers!” Then, the person may be motivated to act promptly, regardless of the consequences.In either case, the personal may fall victim to popular sayings. So, if we want to come up with a new idea, we must break up the “mental locks”that close our minds.。
