　　Passage 1

　　“Remember, your father is only one year

　　41 (old) than you.” That was Mum’s usual excuse when Dad said the wrong things or did something 42 (fool).

　　Dad quitted drinking exactly one year before I was born. He joined a group of other people. He said they 43 (stop) drinking, too. I loved my dad 44 I hated the way his weekly meetings took him away 45 me. It seemed that they were more important to him than I was. But with my birthday coming up I thought Dad would make an 46 (except). “ Can’t you miss it just this time? Saturday is my birthday!” I begged him but 47

　　(refuse). He said “ I am chairing the meeting this Saturday. We will have your party on Sunday.”

　　Saturday evening I sat on my bed,

　　48 (feel) sorry for myself. Dad started to leave, then paused and said, “Why not come with me together tonight? It’s an open meeting. All are welcome”.

　　49 would I do at a meeting ? But maybe I needed to see why something Dad did every week mattered so much.

　　After we arrived , Dad announced the theme of the meeting was going to be gratitude. He told his story about giving up smoking. Later, a man

　　50 (call) Dave also told his story. Only then did I know it was Dad that saved his life from drinking. Showing up week after week and meeting with people, Dad was changing lives. Shame washed over me.

　　Passage 2

　　Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

　　The answer depends largely 41 cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color

　　42

　　represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children 43 (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect 44 against evils（灾祸）.

　　People’s

　　45 (choose) of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them. Green is said to be 46 most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally 47 physically. People 48 (work) in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.

　　Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. And many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that

　　49 (easy) catches a person’s eye.

　　Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. So

　　50 you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

　　Passage 3

　　How Learning Habits Influence On Learning Results. It’s useful and necessary to discuss learning habits. There is a famous saying “Good habits lead to good endings.”,

　　41

　　shows the importance of habits.

　　“An apple a day keeps doctor away .”also shows how a healthy everyday habit helps to build up our body.

　　42 , good learning habits can help us gain great learning results

　　43 (include) high scores and abundant knowledge. At first, learning habits form our ways of thinking and attitudes

　　44

　　the content of our learning. Obviously, a good habit can help us to speed up to reach our destinations.

　　45

　　we can see, cultivating a good habit is so important

　　46

　　I would like to introduce one kind of good learning habits----keep a learning diary every day. We can start the habit by

　　47

　　(write) learning summary and remember to record something impressive and

　　48

　　(mean). Keep it in mind, and gradually we can gain this good learning habit and benefit from it.

　　What’s more, I find out that I still have some bad learning habits as well. I can

　　49

　　concentrate on reading for a short time and I

　　50

　　( conquer) this problem by spending more effort on concentration practice.

　　I believe that through my efforts, I can gain good learning results by having good habits.

　　Passage 4

　　My desk mate admires my fluent English very much and I usually feel

　　4 1 (encourage) by his compliments.

　　One day,

　　42

　　we learned the new word “eccentric” in class, we

　　4 3

　　(ask)to make a sentence with it. I volunteered to do it by saying “My desk mate is an eccentric boy

　　4 4

　　clothes never fit him.” Hearing this, the whole class burst into

　　4 5

　　(laugh) and my desk mate’s face turned red.

　　4 6

　　class, I learned from the teacher that my desk mate

　　47

　　(drop) out of school if he hadn’t been helped by others. My mindless words must

　　48

　　(hurt) him deeply.

　　Not until then did I realize words could be powerful in

　　49

　　positive and negative ways. We should avoid hurting others if we can’t always

　　50

　　(encourage) when we speak.

　　Passage 5

　　Patient: Thank you for agreeing to see me on such short notice, doctor.

　　Doctor: Anything for my favorite patient! Now, what seems to be__41__matter?

　　Patient: It’s my vision. I can’t see well at night, and ___42___ I wake up in the morning, it takes me a few minutes before I can see clearly..

　　Doctor: OK. I’m going to take a___ 43___(close) look. Just relax. How ___44___ has this been going on?

　　Patient: A couple of weeks. I guess...wow, that’s right!

　　Doctor: Does __45__ hurt when I do that?

　　Patient: Not exactly, it’s just really bright.

　　Doctor: OK. Please, go on.

　　Patient: Well, I ____46____ (walk) down to the basement in my house about three weeks ago when I slipped and bumped my head pretty hard on the steps.

　　Doctor: Where exactly did you hit ___47___ head?

　　Patient: Right on the back. I heard a loud sound when I hit it, but there was no blood and everything seemed to be okay.

　　Doctor: You didn’t get it ___48___(check) out then?

　　Patient: My wife said I should, but nothing was wrong, so I thought, why bother? Well, a week passed and all of a sudden I started to have problems with my sight. I first noticed it when I was driving back home __49__ work. It’s gotten worse over the past week or so.

　　Doctor: I’m glad you came to see me. I’m going to order some tests, and I want to make an appointment for you to see a specialist tomorrow morning.__50__ (hope), it’s nothing too serious.

　　Passage 6

　　David and Jack are talking about cyber-relationships in their dorm.

　　David: Jack, you spend a lot of time on the Internet everyday. What do you most frequently use it for?

　　Jack:

　　I usually surf 41 net, read news and anything I am interested in, check emails or chat with other people. Sometimes I order online too. Maybe I can find a girlfriend online like a fairy tale.

　　David: Well, I see. That’s

　　42 you are so stuck to it.

　　Jack:

　　I know dozens of websites provide dating service. Curiosity and the need for companionship make them a sure-fire business. I recommend that you

　　43 (try) Baihe.com.

　　David: To be 44

　　, I really can’t understand how

　　45

　　people depend on that way to make friends. It’s kind of risky.

　　Jack:

　　Yes, but it’s also one of the easiest and fastest ways to meet new people.

　　David: Sounds good. But it is full of traps on the Internet, and some people have really

　　46

　　(please) experience about online dating.

　　Jack: It’s true, but some people did find their better-half through online dating.

　　David: 47

　　, I won’t try that way to make my girlfriend.

　　Jack: Don’t be so sure. If you

　　48

　　(happen) meet a girl online who is intelligent, kind, honest, and you get a good feeling of her, won’t you have the desire to get to know her

　　49

　　person?

　　David: I won’t have such a chance in the first place, for I never enter the chatroom.

　　Jack: Maybe 50 man’s meat is another’s poison.

　　David: That’s right.

　　Passage 7

　　Susan: I’m so glad to see you, David.

　　41

　　has been such a long time. How are you?

　　David: I’m fine, and you?

　　Susan: I’m just wonderful. God, time goes by so quickly! Are you going to the air quality conference in Chicago?

　　David: I am. And I’m really glad to see you. Just last night I found your name in the conference materials, but it didn’t come to my

　　42

　　that we would meet on the plane.

　　Susan: I’m afraid I haven’t had time to look at

　　43

　　conference materials very carefully. I had no idea you were coming, but I am certainly glad to see you. I was feeling very nervous about going there

　　44

　　friends.

　　David: I can imagine. My English has gotten not so fluent since I returned from the States,

　　45

　　I’m rather nervous myself. But I saw that you

　　46

　　(give) the most important talk at the conference.

　　Susan:

　　47

　　(frank) speaking, I’m scared to death about it.

　　David: I’m just giving a talk in one of the workshop sections, and I hope I won’t make all of you

　　48

　　(disappoint).

　　Susan: But your English is much

　　49

　　(good) than mine.

　　David: But you’re now the Director of the Air Quality Institute, so you

　　50

　　know the technical terms.

　　Susan: Maybe. But I still can’t understand totally a lot of technical terms in my field.
