Passage 1In recent years, more and more foreigners are involved in the teaching programs of the United States. Both the advantages and the disadvantages 47 using foreign faculty in teaching positions have to be 48 , of course. It can be said that the foreign background that makes the faculty member from abroad an asset also 49problems of adjustment, both for the university and for the individual. The foreign research scholar usually isolates himself in the laboratory as a means of protection; 50, what he needs is to be fitted to a highly organized university system quite different from 51 at home. He is faced in his daily work with differences in philosophy, arrangements of courses and methods of teaching. Both the visiting professor and his students 52 a common ground in each other’s cultures, some concept of what is already in the minds of American students is 53 for the foreign professor. While helping him to adapt himself to his new environment, the university must also 54 certain adjustments in order to take full advantage of what the newcomer can 55 . It isn’t always known how to make creative use of foreign faculty, especially at smaller colleges. This is thought to be a 56 where further study is called for. The findings of such a study will be of value to colleges and universities with foreign faculty.It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping...Such absent-mindedness may be 47 to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the 48 sees.The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also 49 the user to "label" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain 50 by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a 51 label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in 52 plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians wiring a 53 device.A spokesman for the project said: "A car mechanic for 54 could find at aglance where a part on a certain car model is so that it can be identified and repaired. For the motorist the system could 55 accident black spots or dangers on the road."In other cases the glasses could be worn by people going on a guided tour, 56 points of interest or by people looking at panoramas where all the sites could be identified.A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you 47 the two to do something for your local 48 ?It may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to 49 it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.50 , a biodegradable (生物可降解的)mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage 51 to recycle.Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other 52 and can be hard or soft. and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic 53 . British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it 54 nitrates(硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small 55 window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away."We've only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant 56 to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time," said one scientist.Blue is the world's favorite color. It is also the color most often 47 with intellect and authority.Most uniforms are blue. In Greek and Roman mythology, blue is the color of sky gods. In the Old Testament, God is 48 by deep blue. Blue and turquoise (青绿色)are represented by the Islamic religion. It is the 49 color in the mosques of the world.Blue symbolizes truth, peace and cooperation. It is the color of the flag of the United Nations and of Europe. As the coolest color of the spectrum, it is the hue mostlikely to have a receding effect. As in the skies and water that 50 us, blue is seen as a peaceful and 51 color. Blue light has seen to 52 blood pressure by calming the nervous system hence relaxing the body and mind. Blue creates large airy spaces. It makes rooms bigger.The wrong shade of blue can be uncomfortable. It can also be cold and sterile(枯燥的)unless 53 with warmer colors.Light and soft blue makes us feel quiet and protected from the bustle(喧闹)and 54 of the day. Blue bedrooms are restful. Blue bath rooms are appropriately watery. Blue 55 depth with greens and reds. Dark blue represents the night making us calm. Its apparently calming effect makes it the perfect tone for the quieter 56 of your living space.Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to 47 . You may even have tried a fad diet or two, but found yourself right back where you started. The key to weight loss is regular 48 activity. And surprisingly, you don't have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long-term, 49 effects.You body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic 50 such as breathing, blood circulation and digestion.

The retailer is, however, still the UK’s 25th la rgest spender on advertising, 15 being at 17th place in the six months to September 30, 2007.Car manufacturers have also significantly 16 back on marketing spending, believed to be a result of the financial crisis. According to Nielsen, Ford spent ￡26.6m in the six months to September 30, 2008, down 21pc from the same period last year. Vauxhall also 17 spending by 15.6pc in the period to ￡26.5m.For supermarkets, however, a significant increase in advertising spending, it appears, is a 18 as they seek to woo (追求) increasingly price- 19 customers. The leading supermarkets have 20 an aggressive price war in the past six months as consumers have been faced with news of higher food prices.Undoubtedly the globe is getting hotter and hotter. The unavoidable questions are: How much responsibility shall we take for warming, and are we 47 to stop the destruction by limiting our insatiable 48 for natural fuels?It seems that global warming is too _49_ to be worried about, or too unpredictable. The computer_50_ cannot define what the weather is like next week. In cold winter day it might be considered that a little warming would be a fair thing. And doubtlessly: Alarming about_51_ alteration may sound like an environmentalist frightening strategy, aiming to urge humans to walk and keep the world cleaner.However, based on the data collected by scientists, bad news are brought to our living media.From California to the snowy peaks of China, the air is heating up right now, and the globe is being fast warmed, the _52_ has increased by 1 ℉ compared with the past century. In addition, some parts like remote places have been in a much hotter state. The results aren't satisfactory, ice being _53_ , rivers running dry, and coasts being _54_ , threatening villages and cottages.The 55 are gradually occurring without any obvious phenomenon. But they shouldn't slip our mind, because they can pose as a great potential threat to the 56 world.The way you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually 47 you money or can add to the cost. Take the 48 example of a hairdryer. If you are buying a hairdryer, you might think that you are making the 49 buy if you choose one whose look you like and which is also the cheapest 50 price. But when you get it home you may find that it takes twice as long as a more expensive51 to dry your hair. The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well make your hairdryer the most expensive one of all。

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are requested to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Once the world embraced the automobile, the days of depending on horses, bicycles, ferries, and trains quickly slipped into the past. People were __47__ with the speed of the automobile but they were also enjoying the personal freedom that the automobile gave them. Owning a car gave people the freedom to go anyplace a road __48__.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the automobile. We have already seen signs of the use of solar energy in this area. As long as man has a brain, the future of the automobile is __56__.（2）A college education is an investment in the future. But it can be a 47 one. The College Board 48 that the costs at a four-year public college in the United States increased 10% this past school year. That was less than the 13% increase the year before, but still much higher than the inflation 49 Public colleges and universities still cost a lot less than private ones.Financial aid often helps. But financial experts 50 parents to start college savings plans when their child is Still very young.All fifty states and the District of Columbia 51 what are called 5-29 plans. These plans are named after the part of the federal tax law that created them in 1996. States use private investment companies to operate the 52 of the programs.Every state has its own rules 53 5-29 plans. Some of the plans are 54 of state taxes. And all are not required to pay federal taxes. However, the government could start to tax withdrawals in 2011 if Congress does not change the law.5-29 plans include investment accounts that increase or decrease in value with the investments they contain. Families must decide how 55 they want to put money into stocks, or other investments.Another kind of 5-29 plan lets parents begin to pay for their child’s education in 56 and long before their child starts college. This kind of savings program is called a prepaid tuition plan. The money goes into an accountThere is progress toward a possible treatment for lung diseases such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Researchers have learned more about how the SARS virus works: it 47 with a system in the body that uses enzymes (酶) to control blood pressure and fluid balance. Scientists say the virus 48 to an enzyme known as ACE-two. The virus blocks the enzyme, permitting fluid to enter the lungs.A team from Europe and Asia reported the 49 in Nature Medicine. Doctor Josef Penninger of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in the Austrian Academy of Sciences was the 50 writer of the report. The discovery could lead to a new 51 of treating not just SARS but also other diseases that can cause lung failure. These include avian flu (禽流感) and influenza in humans.The first 52 of SARS were discovered in Guangdong province, in southern China, in November of 2002. SARS was not 53 as a worldwide threat until March of 2003. The disease spread to 26 countries, most of them in the Asia-Pacific area. An estimated 8, 000 people had SARS. More than 770 of them died, or about 10% , a 54 high rate.The World Health Organization warned people not to travel to 55 areas. The 56 hurt international travel and business. The WHO says the disease stopped spreading by July of 2003. As a result of SARS, the health agency got new powers to act before a government officially announces a crisis.（4）To call something “marginal” means it is not very good. Farmers have their own way to 47 marginal land: It is the last to be planted under good conditions, and has the 48 to be avoided under poor conditions. Low 49 soil is not the only reason land could be considered marginal. It might be in an area where rainfall is 50 or where a hillside might rise too steeply.There are uses for marginal land, however. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent51 for grazing (吃草) animals like cattle, sheep and goats. Grass seed can be bought from a foreign supplier or52 grasses can be used. However, using marginal land for grazing is not a simple issue. There is a 53 of overgrazing. Cattle can damage the crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the weight of the animals crushes the soil and can make it too hard for growing. A(n) 54 way to reduce the harm is to move animals from one field to another. This method is known as rotational grazing (循环放牧) which is extremely important for marginal land.Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have 55 that the white pine and loblolly pine (火炬松) are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. Another tree is the poplar (白杨), found in many parts of the world.Failure to take the care needed to protect marginal lands can make a bad situation worse. But goodChina is casting such a huge shadow on the United States that many Americans are trying hard to learn the Chinese language with an effort to keep their competitive edge."Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown 47 in the past five years," said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society, a US group trying to bridge the 48 between Americans and the peoples of Asia and the Pacific.China's rapid progress is driving the interest to 49 the language, experts say. "The Chinese rich cultural traditions and 50 economy mean that it is now essential for all of our students to be better prepared to engage them and seize opportunities together," said Michael Levine, Asia Society' s executive director of education.A 2004 College Board survey found that 2,400 high schools--an 51 number--would be interested in52 the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2006.China, the world' s most populous ( 人口稠密的) nation, is 53 to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. It has 54 the United States as the world's largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, in the next two to three decades.Even though the US State Department has regarded the Chinese language extremely important to national prosperity , the" 55 conditions to support recruitment of students and teachers as well as the growth of high（6）Can money buy happiness? Yes, 47 the authors of a new study---but only to a point.Psychology has shown that richer people generally rank the overall quality of their lives more 48 than poorer people do. At the same time, their actual happiness seems to be 49 less by their ability to buy more than by being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group."Our findings point to the possibility that, rather than promoting overall happiness, continued income growth could 50 an ongoing consumption race where people have to consume more and more, just to maintain a 51 level of happiness," writes Glenn Firebaugh of Pennsylvania State University.The study was 52 at the American Sociological Association's 100th Annual Meeting. Whether the rich are happier as a whole than their less 53 fellows is becoming an increasingly hot topic for debate. Recent years have 54 many writings on the "science of happiness." Richer people are happier because money can help purchase goods and services and it is the 55 of these materials that increases one's enjoyment of life and one's sense of well-being. Firebaugh and his colleagues measured the age, total family income, and general happiness of 56 aged 20 to 64, generally considered the working lifespan (工作寿命) for most Americans.Regardless of such standards as physical health, education, and marital status (婚姻状况), people's happiness was affected by what others earned. The higher the income of others in one's age group, the lower one'sKitchen duties may have traditionally been viewed as women’s work, but not at the White House. Until now: Cristeta Comerford has been named executive chef (厨师) .After an_ 47 six-month search, first lady Laura Bush announced Sunday that Comerford was chosen from hundreds of 48 to head the executive kitchen. A naturalized U.S. citizen from the Philippines, she will be the first woman and first 49 to hold the post. The 42-year-old Comerford has been an assistant chef at the White House for 10 years. She worked under former executive chef Walter Scheib Ill, who 50 in February.Scheib said Sunday that Comerford was 51 the best assistant he had in his 30-year career and is a wonderful choice to take over. He said she is a great cook with an artistic eye and a calm manner that can 52 the pressure cooker (高压锅) in the White House kitchen.Comerford has a bachelor’s degree in Food Technology from the University of the Philippines. She has worked at Le Ciel in Vienna, Austria and at restaurants in two Washington hotels.While being executive chef at the White House is honorable, the job also can be 53 Comerford will be in charge of everything from state dinners for world leaders to dessert for the commander in chief, his family and guests.

The job pays 56（8）The more time children spend watching television the poorer they perform academically, according to three studies published on Monday. 47 television viewing has been blamed for increasing rates of childhood obesity (肥胖) and for aggressive behavior, while its 48 on schooling have been inconclusive, researchers said.But studies published on the topic in this month' s Archives of Pediatrics (小儿科) & Adolescent Medicine concluded television viewing 49 to have an adverse effect (副作用) on academic pursuits. For 50 , children who had televisions in their bedrooms--and 51 watched more TV--scored lower on standardized tests than those who did not have sets in their rooms. In contrast, the study found having a home computer with 52 to the Intemet resulted in comparatively higher test scores."Consistently, those with a bedroom television but no 53 home computer had, on average, the lowest scores and those with home computer but no bedroom television had the highest scores," wrote study author Dina Borzekowski of Johns Hopkins University. The American Academy of Pediatrics has 54 parents to limit children’s television viewing to no more than one to two hours per day--and to try to keep younger children away from TV altogether.In two other studies published in the same journal, children who 55 watched television before the age of 3 ended up with lower test scores later on, and children and adolescents who watched more television were less选词填空答案(1) 47-56 N E O A M L J I G B （2）47-56 G B E I C L N K A M （3）47-56 M C J G A E L I O D （4）47-56 F B J E A K N D L H （5）47-56 C K G A I N D F M O （6）47-56 C N E H A J B K F M （7）47-56 D K B I F H L A O E （8）47-56 J G M K D E B I C F。

英语四级选词填空练习题及答案英语四级选词填空练习题及答案：There is evidence that the usual variety of high blood pressure is,in part,a familiar disease.Since families have similar genes as well as similar environments,familiar diseases could be due to shared genetic influences,to shared environmental factors,or to both.For some years,the role of one environmental factor commonly shared by families,namely dietary salt(i.e.,sodium chloride),has been studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory.These studies suggest that chromic excess salt ingestion can lead to high blood pressure in man and animals.Some individuals,however,and some rats consume large amounts of salt without developing high blood pressure.No matter how strictly all environmental factors were controlled in these experiments,some salt-fed animals never developed hypertension whereas a few rapidly developed very severe hypertension followed by early death.These marked variations were interpreted to result from differences in genetic constitution.By mating is successive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion,a resistant strain(the "R" Strain)has been evolved in which consumption of large quantities of salt fails to influence the blood pressure significantly.In contrast,by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt,a sensitive strain("S" strain)has also been developed.The availability of these tow strains permits investgations not heretofore possible.They provide a plausible laboratory model on which to investigate some clinical aspects of the human prototypes of hypertension.More important,there might be the possibility of developing methods by which genetic susceptibility of human beings to high blood pressure can be defined without waiting for its appearance.Radioactive sodium 22 was an important "tool" in working out the characteristics of the sodium chloride metabolism.1.The study of the effects of salt on high blood pressure was carried out ______.a.as members of the same family tend to use similar amounts of saltb.to explore the long-term use of a sodium based substancec.because it was proven that salt caused high blood pressured.because of the availability of chemically pure salt and its derivatives2.The main difference between "S" and "R" rats is their ______.a.need for sodium 22b.rate of matingc.reaction to saltd.type of blood3.We can infer from the article that sodium 22 can de used to ______.a.control high blood pressureb.cure high blood pressure caused by saltc.tell the "S" rats from the "R" ratsd.determine what a sodium chloride metabolism is like4.The most beneficial results of the research might be ______.a.development of diets free of saltb.an early cure for high blood pressurec.control of genetic agents that cause high blood pressured.the early identification of potential high blood pressure victims5.Which of the statements best relates the main idea of this article?a.When salt is added rats and human beings react similarly.b.The near future will see a cure for high blood pressure.c.The medical field is desperately in need of research.d.A tendency toward high blood pressure may be a hereditary factor.答案：acddd英语四级选词填空练习题及答案：Directions: In this section, there is apassage with ten blanks.
