Ⅵ、完型填空（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

These days, it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before. However, there is a big difficulty

when we meet people in other countries – we cannot communicate with them. There are where English is still not spoken, though it is the most widely know language. So, wouldn’t it be if

there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?

Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world’s truly international language. In fact,

although artificial (人造的) languages have been already created, only Esperanto has had much success.

Its learners say that it is about four times to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are

both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent like the “h” in “honest”. If you a word, you

can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as simple as possible: only sixteen basic , no

irregular verbs (不规则动词), only six verb endings.

In short, Esperanto should be attractive (有吸引力的) as a language to learn, there is a problem:

how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway, we hope that some day one language can be

mastered easily by anyone.

C 41. A. need B. miss C. face D. touch

D 42. A. offices B. schools C. cities D. places

B 43. A. safe B. nice C. funny D. difficult

A 44. A. first B. another C. last D. other

D 45. A. little B. a little C. few D. a few

B 46. A. better B. easier C. slower D. shorter

D 47. A. marks B. parts C. words D. letters

A 48. A. hear B. see C. watch D. notice

C 49. A. subjects B. sentences C. rules D. lessons

B 50. A. and B. but C. so D. because

Jane Goodall first made friends with a chimp (黑猩猩) when she was one year old. On her first birthday her

mother carried her to the zoo near her home and bought her a toy chimp. She loved her furry（毛绒）friend very

much. At age 7, Jane Goodall read Dr. Doolittle, a book about a doctor who could talk to animals. She wanted to

be able to talk to her favorite animals, too. She expected to go to Africa some day so that she could learn more

about chimps. When Jane grew up, she still dreamed of going to Africa. She got her wish when she was 26 years

old. She went to Gombe National Park where many chimps lived in the forests.

Jane watched the chimps closely day after day. She saw that they were a lot like people. They could think and

make plans. They used tools. They showed their fear, pain, or pleasure. Sometimes, they fought. Often, they

hugged（拥抱）and kissed.

Scientists were surprised by what Jane saw. They knew that the relation between chimps and humans was the

closest. However, they did not know they acted so much like us.

Jane still has the toy chimp she was given as a child. She has studied her furry friends for over 30 years. Now,

she speaks for them to groups around the world. She hopes that what she has to say will make others do something

to protect chimps from being hurt.

If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.

Every year it’s the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you

want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last

year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get

lost in your busy life.

Here’s a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often

think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it,” said Robert Maurer,

who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change You Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a

small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War Ⅱ,

of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding (重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast.

The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in

doing everything.

C 61. At the end of December, people usually ______.

A. fail to make big changes B. plan for the last year

C. think about the new year D. try to lose their ideas

B 62. Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us ______.

A. we should do everything in big steps B. how to change one’s life with one small step

C. we should try a lot of sudden changes D. how to find a small step without any excuse

A 63. The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means “______”.

A. 提高生产率 B. 增加成本 C. 增加出口量 D. 提高待遇

D 64. The writer of the passage suggests we should ______.

A. make changes at the end of the year B. do few experiments with “kaizen”

C. do things with hard-to-achieve goals D. take a tiny step to achieve big goals

B 65. Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?

A. You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy. B. Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found

it helpful.

C. You can’t find any excuse not to reach a big goal. D. “Kaizen” was brought to Japan during

World War Ⅱ.

阅读下面短文，把A~D四个句子填入文中空缺处（66~69），使短文内容完整正确，然后完成第70题。

We often hear that children wish they were grown-ups, and that old people wish they were young.

The happiest people enjoy what each age gives them without wasting their time in useless regrets.

Childhood (童年) is a time when there are few duties. A child is fed, looked after and loved by all grown-ups

like parents or grandparents. However, for older people they often lose their interest in those things.

On the other hand (另一方面), a child may alson have some pains with him. He is often told not to do

something. He will certainly be shouted at for doing something wrong.

When a child grows up, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, clothes, room and many other

things. If he still spends most of his time playing as he used to in childhood, he will go hungry. If,

however, he works hard and has no trouble, he can build up his own position in society with great happiness.

A. What’s more, life is always giving new things to him.

B. And he has to work if he wants to live comfortably.

C. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do.

D. Each age has its own pleasures and its own pains.

D 70. what is the best title of the passage?

A. Childhood Is a Happy Time B. No Pains at Any Age

C. Happy Position in Society D. Enjoy You Whole Life
