1、综合类-B级 完形填空1. A Success Story【一个成功的故事】 At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have made their fortune through the Internet. What makes Bens story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was told by teachers at his junior school that he would
2、 never be able to read or write properly. “I wanted to prove them wrong”, says Ben, creator and director of Waysearch, a net search engine which can be used to find goods in online shopping malls. When he was eight, his local authorities provided him with a PC to help with school work. Although he w
3、as unable to read the manuals, he had a natural ability with the computer, and encouraged by his father, he soon began charging people 10 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, and two years later h
4、e left school to devote all his time to business. “By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a couple of employees to help me”, says Ben. “That enabled me to start doing business with bigger companies. ” It was his ability to consistently overcome difficult challenges that led him t
5、o win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Waysearch, and he has recently signed a deal worth 25 million with a private investment company, which will finance his search engine. 2.Traffic in Our Cities【城市的交通】The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today
6、continues to expand. This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home. One possible approach is to make it m
7、ore expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as “road pricing”, is already being in
8、troduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car. Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then
9、 use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey. Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people togive up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an accept
10、able level. 3.Teaching and Learning【教与学】Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with1 the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect student to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examinat
11、ion. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning
12、 the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is the students responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university libr
13、ary works; they expect students particularly graduate students to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United States professors have many other duties besides teaching, such
14、 as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited . If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make 4.The Difference between Man and Computer【人与电脑的区别
15、】What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories dont yet account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, dont. In fact, computers dont even
16、 have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer program is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a “purpose”. Of course, people have several goals that do not make sense to attribute to computers1. One might read
17、a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to find a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches. However, these physiological and social goals give rise to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goa
18、l to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which serves the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to acquire information or knowledge, what we are calling learning goals. These goals
19、 can be held by computers too; a computer might“want” to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might well arise out of the “goal” to learn more about
20、 restaurants. 5.Working Mothers【职业母亲】Carefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose mothers stayed at home. My personal view is that mothers should be allowed to work if they wish. Whet
21、her we like it or not, there are a number of mothers who just have to work. There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in establishing a career that they cannot afford to see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic necessity . Many mothers are not cut ou
22、t to be full-time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated. There are a number of options when it comes to choosing childcare. These range from child minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady across the street. In reality , however, ma
23、ny parents dont have any choice; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No matter how good the childcare may be, some children are going to protest wildly if they are left. This is a perfectly normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months, but soon
24、after that they start to get a crush on Mum and close family members. Make sure that in the first week you allow plenty of time to help your child settle in. All children are different. Some are independent, while others are more attached to their mothers. Remember that if you want to do the best fo
25、r your children, its not the quantity of time you spend with them, its the quality that matters. 6.The First Bicycle【第一辆自行车】The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count de Sivrac delighted onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine
26、called the celerifer. It was basically an enlarged version of a childrens toy which had been in use for many years. Sivracs “celerifer” had a wooden frame, made in the shape of a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end. To ride it, you sat on a small seat, just like a modem bicycle, and pu
27、shed hard against the ground with your legs there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer a celerifer and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were holding races up and down the streets. Minor injuries were
28、common as riders attempted a final burst of speed. Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change direction was to pull up the front of the “celerifer” and turn it round while the front wheel was spinning in the air. “Celerifers” were not popular for long, however, as the combinati
29、on of no springs, no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. Even so, the wooden celerifer was the origin of the modem bicycle. 7.Look on The Bright Side【看光明的一面】Do you ever wish you were more optimistic, someone who always expected to be successful? Having someone around who al
30、ways fears the worst isnt really a lot of fun. We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, “It looks like rain. ” But if you catch yourself thinking such things, its important to do something about it. You can change your view of life, according to psychologists. It only tak
31、es a little effort, and youll find life more rewarding as a result . Optimism, they say, is partly about self-respect and confidence, but its also a more positive way of looking at life and all it has to offer. Optimists are more likely to start new projects and are generally more prepared to take r
32、isks. Upbringing is obviously very important in forming your attitude to the world. Some people are brought up to depend too much on others and grow up forever blaming other people when anything goes wrong. Most optimists, on the other hand, have been brought up not to regard failure as the end of t
