第二节 完形填空（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30） I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset. But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel 43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an) 44 to that person, a beautiful thing.” The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those 45 smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a 46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well. And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try. Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely. 1. A. born B. nature C. myself D. me 2. A. always B. often C. never D. sometimes 3. A. therefore B. thus C. but D. however 4. A. excited B. interested C. happy D. worried 5.A. rather than B. instead of C. other than D. apart from 6. A. parents B. classmates C. friends D. lovers 7. A. what B. how C. why D. whether 8. A. comfortable B. excited C. anxious D. frightened 9. A. injury B. gift C. damage D. mercy 10. A. voluntary B. hesitant C. wide D. unwilling 11. A. method B. treat C. behavior D. trick 12. A. still B. again C. no longer D. even 13. A. no doubt B. no secret C. no reason D. no wonder 14. A. in return B. in turn C. in time D. in case 15. A. opposes B. disproves C. suggests D. backs 16. A. wrong B. nothing C. something D. right 17. A. Afraid B. Tired C. Reminded D. Informed 18. A. to make B. make C. making D. made 19. A. career B. changes C. decision D. success 20. A. try B. do C. change D. smile

It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club．It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand over your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want．That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs． Fundraising is a great way to help children learn social skills．It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask him for his money．They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school．If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride（不特别费力地）, and that is a learning lesson as well． Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising．Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned into the school．However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson．Dealing with more Fundraising helps improve their schools．It is the children’s school．They have to learn there and grow there．Why not let them help in making it a better place? Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child．The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips, or for the music club to go to see a Broadway play．The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money．Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed． In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways． 1.The underlined word “inevitable” in the first paragraph means “_______”． A．unlikely B．improper C．unavoidable D．unrealistic 2.One of the important indications that children are grown up is that __________． A．children learn to care for others B．children can deal with money C．children like to make up D．children make a date with friends of the other sex 3.The author thinks that fundraising _______． A．adds to the family’s burden B．wastes the learning time C．builds up the children’s bodies D．helps to develop the children’s character 4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? CP: Central point P: Point Sp: Sub-point C: Conclusion

“Any time! Any where! Decades ago there was no such thing” – “Communication”. Then, September 7th 1987, the global system for mobile communication or GSM was born. And international agreements that laid out the standards, regulations and practices gave rise to a global mobile phone industry. To be honest, the world’s first mobiles were not so attractive and the range of effectiveness wasn’t very good. But they became a must-have among those wealthy people who could afford that. However, by advantage of GSM which has many different elements to it, we can all enjoy the ability to go around the world in 217 countries, land in that country and know that a phone would work. There are other cell phone systems using different technology in the world. The majority of the United States and parts of South America have been using something called CDMA which is very rare in Europe. In some Asian countries like China, GSM and CDMA both exist at the same time. But the GSM Association claims 85% of the global mobile phone market. They estimated there are now about 2.5 billion different users who make more than 7 trillion minutes of calls everyday, and that’s not all. 20 years later, the mobile phone is so much more than just a phone. You can use it to send text messages, take pictures, show video, even surf the internet. “The phone itself is involved from just being a communication tool, to be a tool for round-the-clock connectivity, you can not live without it even in a minute.” Mobile consultant Nick Lane also points out with so many customized styles and features, your mobile phone will become a symbol of you. Where will the global mobile phone industry be in another 20 years? Certainly, there will be more connections than better coverage. As for where else technology will take us, one can only imagine. 1. According the passage, we can know that GSM is ____________. A. a global-used mobile phone B. a global mobile phone industry C. a global mobile phone association D. a global mobile communication system 2.From this passage, we can infer that ____________. A. as soon as the first mobiles appeared, they became popular and many people have one B. with a GSM mobile phone, you can make a phone call in most parts of the USA C. there are only two cell phone systems in the whole world: GSM and CDMA D. most of the mobile phone users in the world now are using the GSM mobile phone 3. By pointing out “your mobile phone will become a symbol of you”, what does Nick Lane want to tell us about the mobile phone in the future? A. You can have a mobile phone with the unique look and functions as you like. B. Others can find us without any difficulties if we carry our mobile phone. C. The mobile phone can be used as a permit when you enter some places. D. The mobile phone we carry can show others how wealthy we are. 4. What does the writer feel about the GSM development in the following 20 years? A. Satisfied. B. Worried. C.Confident D. Confused.

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member. Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally (晚期的）in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剥夺）the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience. Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome. It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies . Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up - to - date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death. 1. The elders of today's Americans _______ . A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying B. are unfamiliar with birth and death C. usually see the birth or death of a family member D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life 2. Children in America are deprived of the chance to________. A. visit a patient at hospital B. visit their family members C. learn how to face death D. look after the patients 3. The need of a dying patient for people to accompany him shows________. A. his wish for communication with other people B. his fear of death C. his unwillingness to die D. he feels very upset about his condition 4. It may be concluded from the passage that________. A. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided D. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need
