第二节 完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1分, 满分20分)
请认真阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
I take a deep breath, cross my fingers and step forward. Am I 36 to take the leap before bungee-jumping? 37 , I’m about to cross the road on my way to work.
There have been a few articles in the press over the last couple of months about “Chinese-style road crossing”. The definition of this 38 is “a large number of people jaywalking(乱穿马路)together because they feel 39 in a big group. ”
Crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and dangerous. It can be 40 to try and rush across the road whilst the red 41 is still lit; it’s only a short distance, what’s the 42 that can happen?
Many pedestrians don’t seem to understand the 43 they are taking. If the light’s on green then most drivers won’t pay attention, 44 that no one will be crossing the road. If the driver does notice, it’s possible that they may not have the 45 stopping distance to be able to stop 46 hitting the person.
Also, stepping out on to a road at the wrong 47 causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a 48 effect possibly even a long tailback(车辆长队).
49 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 50 pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers don’t follow the rules, either. Even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people 51 crossing the road. Many times these cars don’t slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. It also means that people 52 cross the road when they should be allowed to—maybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.
Driving a car doesn’t mean you have more rights. It’s a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of 53 . It doesn’t seem completely 54 to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system that’s designed against them. A rethink of the way pedestrian crossing work and driver education may 55 a stop to “Chinese-style road crossing”.

How would you feel if you gave your whole month’s paycheck to a friend in need? A)Happy B)Charmed C)Fortunate with loads of gratitude D)Involved in love E)All of the above. The answer is E.
This lovely soul happens to be my sister.
When she joined a choir(合唱团), she met a woman in her early thirties, who works day and night, teaching piano and music theory to many students. This woman receives little moral support or help from her family. She is also in school to pursue her own career in music. To make ends meet, she works several jobs, all seven days of the week. With a schedule as full as that, she often gets tired and stressed as she struggles with time. My sister became friends with her, and remembered how hard it is to be on your own, especially at the beginning of your career.
So one day, my sister invited this friend to have dinner with her. They shared many laughs, chatted over pizza, and enjoyed the evening. When her friend was about to leave, my sister said, “Wait, I want to show you something. ”
Her friend didn’t know what was coming to her. It’s probably something on the phone, or some photo, or a joke, she thought.
Then my sister gave her that envelope.
When she opened the envelope, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Tears rolled down after she read the note.
Why? Why this? What are you doing? How could you be so generous? Am I really that fortunate? How can I repay you?
All sorts of questions flooded her mind. “This is a gift from my heart to you. It’s not a loan to pay back later. Please accept this gift, and if you really want to do something then pay it forward by helping someone, ”my sister said.
They exchanged a hug and a smile, and the friend left. Going home on a scooter(滑板车)on such a cold winter night that wasn’t that cold anymore.
How lucky I am to call this wonderful person my sister.
56. We can know from the first paragraph .
A. helping others is a pleasure
B. you should help others using your salary
C. you are lucky to help others
D. you like helping others

C. The writer’s sister is lucky.
D. The writer’s sister gave her salary to a friend in need.

Who Owns the Moon?
Within the next ten years, the U. S. , China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when they plant a flag, doe that give them property(财产)rights?
A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies(天体)are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.
But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions(派遣团)to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.
“This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world, ”said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的)public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.
To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.
60. In the passage the writer seems to be worrying that .
A. the US will live on the moon forever
B. the moon will not be able to hold all mankind
C. the potential land rush will become more and more frequent
D. no one can answer the question “Who owns the moon? ”
61. “The Google Lunar X Prize” aims to .
A. encourage private groups to land on the moon
B. help NASA host a discussion about land rush on the moon
C. help some developing countries to complete their lunar projects
D. reward some countries or private groups which haven’t stepped on the moon
62. The underlined word “that” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. the Outer Space Treaty
B. if and when they plant a flag
C. the NASA working group
D. monks from the Middle Ages
63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The U. S. astronauts will live on the moon for a longer time.
B. Many countries and private groups plan to go to the moon.
C. Why some private groups wish to land on the moon.
D. It is easy to gain some property rights on the moon.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
67. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are fast and environmentally friendly.
68. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended .
A. to ride it for fun
B. to use it for transport
C. to experience the local culture
D. to improve his riding skills
69. How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A. It was boring.
B. It was difficult.
C. It was lively.
D. It was wonderful.
70. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C. The author was praised by the other bikers.
D. The author took great pleasure in biking.

Learning inside the museum
Museums have an important role in providing learning services to users, especially school children. Some learning services will provide a range of formal teaching opportunities in the museum; others will work closely with school teachers so that these teachers can make better use of the learning resources available through displays and exhibitions, databases, handling collections and museum staff.
In an ideal world, every museum would have at least one learning or education specialist. He or she would be a trained teacher who also had a good understanding of museums and museum collections, and a strong feeling to help people—especially children—use and learn from them.
A museum education specialist is of great value. For most museums the establishment of such a post should be high priority. He or she is the only member of staff with training in the psychology of learning, and has considerable experience of analyzing complex concepts and presenting them in a simple way to a non-specialist audience. The education specialist is, indeed, the only professional interpreter in the museum.
It is clearly reasonable, therefore, for the museum to make full use of the education specialist’s skills, and to involve him or her in all aspects of interpretation and the planning of new displays and exhibitions. Museum learning is not just about teaching children, though children may be its principal audience.
Many small museums may not be able to employ an education specialist of their own. For them, there are other possibilities. One is that the local Schools Service may be able to lend a teacher to the museum, perhaps for two or three years, who could be trained to apply teaching skills to the museum context. Another is that suitable volunteers may be available in the community—perhaps retired teachers, or teachers not presently working—who may be willing to give some of their time to the museum. Another possibility is sponsorship: a large company might be willing to finance the appointment of an education specialist for a few years.
An important part of the work for the education specialist in a museum is to establish strong links with its local schools. He or she is a communicator who has responsibility for keeping contact with the teachers at local schools. He or she should make sure that the schools know what is going on at the museum and how they can make use of it, and that he or she knows about developments in the schools. Above all, it is his or her responsibility to find out what schools want, and to ensure that the museum does its best to meet those requirements. There needs to be a continuing dialogue between teachers and museum: the museum needs to know what the teachers are teaching; teachers need to learn how the museum could help, and what resources they could use.
The look of wonder on a child’s face can be the reward for a lifetime’s work in museums. The aims of museum learning are to establish contact between people—whether children or adults—and objects; and not to teach facts, but to sow(播)a seed of interest, a spark(火花)of inspiration.

【参考范文】
It is recently reported that a school cancelled the school sports programs of the women’s 3, 000 meters and the men’s 5, 000 meters for the sake of students’ safety. As is vividly shown in the cartoon picture, a boy and a girl feel so exhausted that they give up before reaching the finish line. Both the news and the cartoon picture reveal that in China some students’ physical quality is very poor.
There are several factors accounting for this problem. First of all, under much study pressure, many students can spare little time for exercise. The Internet addiction is also to blame, for more and more students choose to go surfing on the Internet instead of doing sports in their free time. Last but not the least, some students don’t attach importance to physical exercise.
How shall we approach the problem? As far as I am concerned, students should be aware of the importance of having good physical quality. Just as the saying goes, good health is above wealth. Meanwhile, more PE classes as well as sports activities are supposed to be arranged for students rather than cutting them down.
