完形填空一Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list _1_ in our past that we felt _2_ of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.This seemed like a very _3_ process, but there s always some _4_soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then _5_ that we find ways to _6_ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever _7_ my communication.Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my _8_, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff _9_ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a _10_ on him.After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious _11_. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one _12_ found out.”“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Browns name _13_ on my list. I didnt even know if he was still _14_. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few _15_, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”“And I want you to know that I did it？”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a _16_ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you _17_ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it _18_ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me.for your sake.”Jimmy inspired me to _19_ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: Its never too late to _20_the past wrongdoings.1.

Many, many people use it, not only in England and the U. S. A, but in other parts of the world. About 200, 000, 000 speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a _3_ language. Many millions are _4_ to do so.Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different _5_. Have you ever _6_ the ads of this kind in the newspapers or magazines?“Learn English in six month, or your _7_ back .” “Easy and funny? Our records and tapes _8_ you master your English in a month. _9_ the first day your _10_ will be excellent. Just send .” Of course, it never _11_ quite like this.The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should _12_ that we all learned our own language well when we were _13_. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. _14_ what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. When he is using the language, talking in it, and _15_ in it all the time, just imagine how much _16_ that gets!So it is _17_ to say that learning English is easy, because a good command of English _18_ upon a lot of practice.

She was a(n) _2_ peasant who asked for money and _3_ gave the only thing she hadher voice. I paused outside a small shop and listened. She brought to my mind the _4_ of Little Orphan Annie. I could not understand the words she _5_, but her voice begged for _6_. It stood out from the noises of Arbat Street, pure and impressive, like the chime of a bell. She sang _7_ an old-style lamp post in the shadow of a building, her arms extended and _8_ thrown back. She was small and of unremarkable looks. Her brown hair _9_ the bun(發(fā)髻) it had been pulled into, and she occasionally reached up to _10_ a stray piece from her face. Her clothing I cant recall. Her voice, on the other hand, is _11_ imprinted in my mind.I asked one of the translators about the girl. Elaina told me that she and hundreds of others like her throughout the _12_ Soviet Union add to their families income by working on the streets. The children are unable to _13_ school, and their parents work fulltime. These children know that the consequence of an _14_ day is no food for the table. Similar situations occurred during the Depression(蕭條) in the United States, but those American children were _15_ shoeshine boys of the _16_. This girl was real to me.When we walked past her I gave her money. It was not out of pity _17_ rather admiration. Her smile of _18_ did not interrupt her singing. The girl watched us as we walked down the street. I know this because when I looked back she smiled again. We _19_ that smile, and I knew I could never forget her courage and _20_ strength. 1.

To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalizationsounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 14 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 15 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 16 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 17 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 18 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 19 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 20 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.1.A.applyingB.doingC.offeringD.getting2.A.quicklyB.easilyC.roughlyD.decidedly3.A.goodB.curiousC.poorD.urgent4.A.trainingB.habitsC.situationsD.custom5.A.liesB.combinesC.touchesD.involves6.A.someB.A lotC.littleD.dull7.A.FortunatelyB.In factC.LogicallyD.Unfortunately8.A.reuseB.rereadC.rewriteD.recite9.A.whatB.whichC.thatD.if10.A.scalesB.cutsC.slowsD.measures11.A.some oneB.oneC.heD.reader12.A.acceleratorB.actorC.amplifierD.observer13.A.thenB.asC.beyondD.than14.A.enablingB.leadingC.makingD.indicating15.A.meaningB.comprehension C.gistD.regression16.A.butB.norC.orD.for17.A.ourB.yourC.theirD.sucha18.A.Look atB.TakeC.MakeD.Consider19.A.forB.inC.afterD.before20.A.masterB.go overC.presentD.get through六Many students find the experience of attending university lectures to be a confusing and frustrating experience. The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps 1 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the blackboard, 2 reading material and giving out 3 .The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and 4 what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture 5 notes which do not catch the main points and 6 become hard even for the 7 to understand.Most institutions provide courses which 8 new students to develop the skills the
