Grammar and Vocabulary （26分）Section ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Different forms of hospitality (好客)I am a British woman social anthropologist (人類學(xué)家). I once spent a year in Moldova, in Eastern Europe, (25) _ (study) everyday life in the country. I stayed with a Moldovan family to see from the inside how people managed their lives. I had a wonderful time and made many new friends. What I observed is of course based on my own experience at a particular place and time.I often found (26) _ surprisingly difficult to see life there through the eyes of a Moldovan. This was (27) _ the people I met were extremely hospitable and I was treated as an honoured guest at all times. As my hosts, they wanted me to enjoy myself, and not to get (28) _ (involve) in shopping, cooking, or other domestic jobs. Most mornings I was encouraged to go out to explore the city, or carry out my research, and I returned later to find that my elderly landlady and her sister had travelled across the city on buses to the central market (29) _ (bring) back heavy loads of potatoes, a whole lamb, or other large quantities of products.I was often invited to people?s homes, and was always offered food on entering. Most of the adults I met enjoyed inviting friends, family, neighbours, colleagues and even strangers into their homes, (30) _ they treated them to food, drink, and a lively hospitable atmosphere. Hosts hurried to serve guests as well and as quickly as possible. (31) _ a household was expecting guest, large amounts of food were prepared in advance, usually by the women. Wine had already been made, generally by the men, (32) _ were also responsible for pouring it. Unexpected visitors were still offered as much food and drink as the household (33) _ provide in the circumstances.(B)How English family life has evolved since the eighteenth centuryThe majority of English families of the pre-industrial age, roughly until the mid-eighteen century, lived in a rural location. Many of them owned or had the use of a small piece of land, and actually all family members were busy with agricultural work in one form or another, usually (34) _ (grow) food for their own consumption and sometimes also producing food or other goods for sale.The labour was controlled by the husband, (35) _ _ his wife and children, too, had an economic value as their contributions to the family income were likely to make the difference between starvation and survival.Children worked from an early age, girls helping their mothers, and boys their fathers. School was an occasional factor in their lives. Instead, children learned by doing (36) _ their parents showed them. Knowledge of caring (37) _ animals, sewing was handed down from parent to child.Also, most people engaged in handicraft production in the home, and the family (38) _ (pay) to work with cloth, wood or leather. In general, this work could be put aside and taken up again when there was a break such as agricultural work.The process of industrialization in the second half of the eighteenth century and during the nineteenth transformed life for the majority of the population. It was the use of steam to power machinery (39) _ required large buildings, and it resulted in the construction of numerous factories in many towns and cities. These in turn (40) _（encourage）migration from the countryside in search of work. If electricity had preceded steam, domestic industry might have survived more fully.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.A. commentB. complexC. depressionD. expect E. equivalentF. holdG. mappedH. recommendedI. handleJ. notedK. severeBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (長(zhǎng)壽) boost seems to come from marriage or a(n) _41_ relationship. The effect was first _42_ in 1858by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡婦)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man?s life and two to a woman?s. The effects _43_ for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Marriage can do a lot. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can _44_ to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse?s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same _45_ problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are, _46_ affected by social-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of _47_ later in life. People in supportive relationships may _48_ stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all _49_ if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being _50_ out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”III. Reading Comprehension（47分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Who needs sleep? Its 2 a.m. The time when you should be in beds, sound asleep. But pull back the curtains and you might be surprised by the number of lights on in your street Night-time is _51_ just for sleeping. It has become the new daytime, offering us the chance to catch up on everything we didnt manage to finish during what used to be our _52_ hours. Now, _53_ sleeping, we can check our bank balances by phone, buy groceries, surf the net for cheap flights or go to the gym.Such flexibility, _54_, has a price. Our bodies are run by circadian rhythms (晝夜節(jié)律), a prehistoric internal clock that regulates when we feel sleepy or awake and affects our body temperature and level of alertness. It makes our brains and bodies _55_ during the day and allows them to recover through the night. So powerful is this clock that even two weeks on a nightshift without break will not _56_ its rhythm, and when scientists keep human volunteers in isolation, without any indication of what time it is in the day, they still show daily cycles of temperature changes, sleep and wakefulness, and hormone release. But, _57_ working against our body?s natural rhythm is likely to cause ourselves both physical and psychological damage. Research also shows it may actually _58_ our risk of health problems such as stomach diseases.Consultant Tom Mackey believes that our normal circadian rhythms are increasingly being completely _59_. “More and more of us are being pressured into doing things at odd hours. This is going to have a(n) _60_ impact on quality and length of sleep. If people don?t go to bed at a reasonable time, say around 11 p.m., and have between six and eight hours of sleep, they will be unable to concentrate. You need sleep for rest and _61_. If you stuff your mind with information for too long, then everything gets disorganized -you become _62_ to manage daytime activities.”The circadian rhythms that run the sleep/wake cycle are as old as _63_ itself. Our prehistoric ancestors would have needed their biological clock to get them out hunting during the day and probably in bed around nightfall to avoid intruders. Our night vision is not as fast as that of nocturnal (夜間活動(dòng)的) animals -our natural rhythm was to sleep as the sun went down. The invention of the electric light obviously _64_ that. Like most biological systems, circadian rhythms are not made to _65_. Our internal clock runs a bit longer than 24 hours, hence its Latin name, circadian, which means “about a day.”51.

His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, i couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn?t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (門(mén)廊). Every so often my son?s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.66. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _.A. to satisfy his curiosity. B. to please his mother.C. to show his magical power. D. to pay for the delivery.67. What can be inferred from Para. 3?A. He preferred tea to coffee. B. He had a large sum of money.C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was a famous and popular person.68. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. It is forbidden by law. B. Its service is getting poor.C. It has been driven out of the market. D. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.69. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He planted flowers in it. B. He missed the good old days.C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He was fond of telling interesting stories.BCWUThe communication union Head of ResearchSalary: 55.271We are looking for a Head of Research to manage the CWU Research Department and Information Centre.
