15、ach blank. (A)The California state assembly recently approved the so-called Paris Hilton bill, which prevents dogs 25_ occupying the drivers seat in a moving vehicle. The bill passed 26_ Democrats wanted to make an example of Miss Hilton. They think she is a “little rich girl” who always gets her wa
16、y; plus, her daddy is a big contributor to the Republican Party. “The judge 27_ have put her in jail for four months,” said one Democrat when Paris got only a four-day jail sentence for driving while drunk.28_ (drive) around town with her little dog Lovey hanging out the drivers window, Paris is a f
17、amiliar sight throughout Los Angeles. Pictures of her and Lovey are common in newspapers and magazines.“That dog is a deadly threat to everyone on the streets and the sidewalks,” said assembly leader Fabian Nunez. “We wrote this bill to protect the public. Theres no telling 29_ the dog might cause h
18、er to drive into a crowd of pedestrians. 30_ Paris wants to be with her dog, let her chauffeur do the driving. The state assembly is responsible for protecting people, and we take that responsibility seriously.”The assembly bill passed by a vote of 44 to 11. The state senate(参议院) 31_(expect) to appr
19、ove the bill, and Governor Schwarzenegger has promised to sign it. “I love dogs,” he said, “but when it comes to 32_ (protect) the people of California, dogs will have to take a back seat.”The eleven assembly members who objected to the bill were all Republicans. “While Californians,” said Republica
20、n Tom Ridge, “are being attacked daily by murderers, rapists, and muggers, who do the Democrats protect citizens froma 33_ (spoil) little girl and her dog!”(B)He almost killed somebody, but one minute changed his life. This beautiful story comes from Sherman Rogers book, Foremen: Leaders or Drivers?
21、 .In his true-life story, Rogers illustrates the importance of effective relationships. During his college years, Rogers spent 34_ summer in an Idaho(爱达荷州) logging camp. When the superintendent had to leave for a few days, he put Rogers in charge. “35_ if the men refuse to follow my orders?” Rogers
22、asked. He thought of Tony, an immigrant worker who roared all day, giving the other men a hard time. “Fire them,” the superintendent said. Then, as if 36_ (read) Rogers mind, he added, “I suppose you think you are going to fire Tony if you get the chance. Id feel badly about that. I have been loggin
23、g for 40 years. Tony is the most reliable worker Ive ever had. I know he hates everybody and everything. But he comes in first and leaves last. There has not been an accident for eight years on the hill 37_ he works.”Rogers took over the next day. He went to Tony and spoke to him. “Tony, do you know
24、 Im in charge here today?” Tony grunted（发哼声）. “I was going to fire you the first time we fought, but I want you to know Im not,” he told Tony, adding what the superintendent 38_ (say). When he finished, Tony dropped the shovelful of sand he had held and tears streamed down his face. “Why he no tell
25、me dat eight years ago?”That day Tony worked harder than ever before - and he smiled! He later said to Rogers, “My first foreman who ever say, Good work, Tony and it made me feel like Christmas.” Rogers went back to school after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again who was now superinte
26、ndent for railroad construction for one of 39_ (large) logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to have such success. Tony replied, “If it not be for the one minute you talk to me back in Idaho, I keel somebody someday. One minute change my whole life.”
27、Effective managers know the importance of taking a moment to point out 40_ a worker is doing well. But what a difference a minute of affirmation can make in any relationship! Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that
28、 there is one word more than you need. A. reassuresB. wellC. distinguishD. encounterE. objectsF. inoffensiveG. revealsH. afterwardsI. implicationJ. genuine K. unpleasantTelling Tales“Heres a nice bit of gossip!” Do I have your attention? Probably. We listen, but 41_ we often feel terrible with ourse
29、lves. Thats the problem with gossip: its something that as a social species we are primed to enjoy, but it can also be 42_ and harmful. Not all gossip is bad. Small talk establishes relationships and 43_ the other person that our intentions are friendly. So gossip, in the sense of exchanging bits an
30、d pieces of news about ourselves and others, can be perfectly 44_. If I say to you, “Lets meet for coffee and have a bit of a gossip,” Im inviting you to a social 45_ in which two people chew the fat. There is nothing wrong with that: life would be very dull if we were unable to talk about what goes
31、 on around us. But its not that simple. If we say that somebody is a gossip, we do not mean that he or she enjoys gentle social chat: it carries a crueler 46_. A true gossip enjoys spreading stories about other people - stories in which others do not usually come out 47_. The gossip is one who sprea
32、ds bad gossip; good gossip is still fine, but its not what gossips spread. The distinction between good and bad gossip is not always clear. It would be easy if we could 48_ the two by saying that bad gossip is just about people; but innocent gossip may be about people too. The best way to tell the d
33、ifference is to look at the intention behind the remarks. Bad gossip 49_ itself in its desire to make the 50_ of the story look foolish. It also intrudes on their privacy. So we all know the difference. Now then, did you hear about . III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in t
34、he following passages 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.“What are you going to be when you grow up?” is a question that you may have been asked. You may not even know there are a variety of geography-related jo
35、bs. The Association of American Geographers lists nearly 150 different geography jobs. So, if you are interested in people, places, and environments, consider a job in geography. Your work will not be limited to mapsit might range from 51 data to planning projects, or making decisions about the envi
36、ronment.Processing Geographic Data A geographers main activity is analyzing geographic information to answer geographic questions. Jobs processing geographic data begin, of course, with collecting the information. One on-the-ground job in data collection is that of a surveyor. Surveyors 52 and measu
37、re the land directly. They may mark boundaries, study the shape of the land, or even help find sewer(下水道) and water systems beneath the Earth. High-tech information-gathering jobs include working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. Some examples of these jobs include remote sensing speci
38、alists and GIS analysts. Data analysis jobs require the ability to think 53 , high-level computer skills, and a college education.Once data have been processed, a geographer may study the information to use in planning projects such as a new urban area, a(n) 54 evacuation(撤退) plan, or the placement
39、of a new highway. Planners can also help determine how to make a neighborhood a better place to live. These jobs, too, require good critical thinking, writing, and computer skills, as well as a college education. Planners are 55 to the success of a community.Advising Businesses and Government About
40、half of jobs using geography are in business and government. All kinds of businesses use geographic information to help build and 56 their operations. A location analyst studies an area to find the best location for a client. The client might be a large retail store chain that wants to know which lo
41、cation would be best for opening a new store. The location analyst can study GIS reports on such elements as transportation networks or population in an area and give the business owners the positive and 57 points about a location being considered.In 1967, the Mexican government was looking for a lo
42、cation to create a new international tourist resort. They used location analysts to find an area that had good beaches and was easy to reach from the United States. The 58 was Cancn, today one of the worlds most desirable vacation sites. Businesses connected with natural 59 such as forests also rely
43、 on geographers. Geographers help them understand the relationship between their business and the environment where their business is located. In 1967, Cancn was a small island on Mexicos Caribbean coast. It had white sand beaches, many birds and mangrove(红树) trees, but few people. After it was sele
44、cted as a resort site, it was quickly 60 . Today, Cancn has more than 100 hotels and 500,000 permanent residents. Many work in the tourist industry that serves the millions of visitors who come each year from all over the world. Physical and Human GeographyPhysical geographers are sometimes called e
45、arth scientists. Some study such topics as geomorphology (地形学), that is, the study of how the shape of the Earth 61 . Others study weather and climate. Still others study water, the oceans, soils, or ecology. Jobs in these fields require 62 scientific training.Some geographers study economic, politi
46、cal, and 63 issues as they relate to place or region. Human geographers are usually hired by government agencies to analyze a specific problem. These geographers work 64 with political scientists, economists, and sociologists. Together, they provide possible solutions to problems from many different
47、 aspects of life in an area. And, of course, geographers teach the subject at all levels of 65 , from elementary schools to universities. But no matter what geography jobs people might hold, they are always trying to answer the basic geographic questions: “Where are things located?” and “Why are they there?” 51A. performing B. analyzingC. appreciatingD. downloading52A. map B. mineC. shape D. honour53A. creativelyB. critically C. wildl
