　完形填空

　Genetic Engineering Many people are unaware

　 that

　a lot of the foods they eat every day,

　 such as

　bread ham and cheese, have been altered by using new technology. Food can be changed. It can be made to taste

　 different

　 or to look different — carrots can be made to taste of chocolate and apples can be made redder. Some food that appears the same has been

　 scientifically

　improved, for example, fish can be made to grow faster. Should we be pleased or worried? Will new technology bring benefits, or is it about to go

　out of control? Genetically engineered foods are produced by taking genetic material from one species and transferring it

　to

　another. For example, an ‘ ‘antifreeze ’ gene which appears naturally in Arctic fish has been introduced into tomatoes and strawberries

　 so that

　they don"t freeze in cold weather; a human gene has been introduced into pigs to make them

　 grow

　more quickly.

　 Some claim great advantages. They point out that crops can be made stronger and more disease resistant,

　so

　 pesticides can be reduced.

　They also maintain that food can be made more nutritious or that the fat content can

　be reduced

　 to make it healthier.

　Scientists are working hard to develop better aerials for mobile phones, a spokesman for Phikia Phones said today. ‘It really irritates users when they lose the signal in the middle of a call, so we are developing new aerials that will enable users

　to receive stronger signals. Many users reported that when they were travelling, the signal was often lost’, said the spokesman. The new aerals are designed to avoid losing the signal by receiving the message on a wider range of radio frequencies. ‘We have learnt that this is a major concern for phone users’ said the spokesman. The new phones have a flexible external aerial, which users will have to get used to touching their ear or head. The aerials

　--

　make the phones able to pick up a wider range of signals. The company spokesman insisted that _ this was not a potential danger – “Every _ safety regulation has been followed”, he told our reporter. “If I’d had one of these phones this morning, I wouldn’t have missed my train coming here”, joked the spokesman.

　 The biggest adventure I" ve ever had was trekking in Thailand.

　We hired a guide (16) to take us to a village in the jungle. We didn"t know that he (17) had never been there before. (18) Unless we reached the village, we wouldn"t be able to find somewhere to sleep, (19) so we wanted to get there in about 8 hours. After two hours we all realized we were lost. The (20) further we walked, the more confused we became. Luckily after a further 4 hours we met some hunters. They didn"t speak the same language as our guide, but we were able to (21) get across that we were lost. They (22) redirected us towards the village. It was after dark when we arrived there. We had been walking (23) for over 14 hours and we were

　(24) absolutely exhausted. We had been very lucky; if we (25) hadn"t met the hunters, we would have had to sleep in the jungle.

　 I was travelling alone in Western Australia last year, and one day i set

　 off

　to climb a high peak in that area. Although in the summer there are many tourists, 1 was there out of season

　 because

　there weren"t any tour groups. Soon after I reached the top, it began to drizzle and

　the fog came

　 down

　 . Very soon, it was so thick

　that

　path. 1 take my phone with me everywhere

　because

　you never know when you will need it. Eventually I called my dad,

　 who

　was 9,000 miles away in the UK. He told me to phone the local emergency services, but I felt

　so

　stupid that I didn"t want to.

　Luckily , my dad realised this and made up his mind to call them himself. The rescuers called me

　 on

　mobile to find out exactly where I was, but unfortunately the battery ran out after five seconds. I lay down under a rock and waited--it was nearly night time and I was cold and wet. Just as they were about to call off the search for the night, they found me. Fortunately one rescuer had said "Let"s try for just five more minutes. "

　If

　they had given up, I would have died.

　Genetic Engineering Many people

　 are

　 unaware that a lot of the foods they eat every day,

　 such as

　 bread, ham and cheese, have been altered by using new technology. Food can be changed. It can be made to taste different or to look different - carrots can be made to taste of chocolate and apples can be made

　 redder . Some food that appears the same has been scientifically

　improved, for example, fish can be made to grow faster. Should we be pleased or worried? Will new technology bring benefits, or is it about to go

　 out of control?

　Genetically engineered foods are produced b y

　taking generic material from one species and transferring it

　 to

　another.

　 For example, an ‘antifreeze’ gene which appears naturally in Arctic fish has been introduced into tomatoes and strawberries _ so that _ they don’ t freeze in cold weather, a human gene has been introduced into pigs to make them grow

　more quickly. Some claim great advantages. They point out that crops can be made stronger and more disease resistant,

　to make it healthier.

　 E-tiquette! Emails ---do you love them or hate them? Whatever you feel, they are here to stay. Here are some tips and ideas (16) _ for __ improving your email writing. First , starting with a greeting and ending with a closure may seem old-fashioned , but it avoids (17) _ upsetting _ people by appearing rude. It needn"t be Dear Sir or Madam , and Yours faithfully , but just say Hi or Hello or Dear (and a first name) , then close (18) with _ Regards (for more formal contacts) and Cheers or Bye for friends. In offices and with people you know well and email frequently , you can just begin (19) _ with _ their first name.

　Getting emails that are not directly relevant (20) _ to _ you is very irritating. Having wide mailing group lists doesn"t necessarily keep people (21)_ informed _. It is estimated (22)_ that _40% of all emailsaredeletedimmediatelybecausetheyhaveanirrelevantot.frivolous subject-line. Try to organise your mailing groups accurately and keep (23) _ updating __ your mailing lists regularly. If you don" t do this , your messages may not (24) get through _to the people you want to send them to because they delete them automatically without reading them. If your contact (25) is used to deleting _ irrelevant emails from you , they may also delete e any relevant ones automatically. . .

　 短文理解 l Some office procedures may be unfamiliar if you are a new comer in America. Again, matters of time and pace crop up. Work days officially start at 9:00 A.M. This should really mean 9 o"clock-not ten past or half past nine. You will find some people feel free with starting time, but employers notice this even though they do not necessarily blame it officially. Employees in many nations have an idea that one works when the boss is present, but any time he is not there, if there is nothing specific or pressing to do, one can relax by reading the newspaper, doing one"s fingernails, or otherwise "passing the time" in a personal way. In America one is being paid for one"s time. Employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are dear, to finish anything left from previous days, or to help someone else

　with his work--but never sit without doing their duty. The employer expects value for the money he is spending. He "owns" your time while he is paying for it. The phrase "time is money," means exactly that. The boss is not asking more of you than he is doing himself; he will quite probably work through lunch hour and even take work home late at night. Employee"s lunch hours should be kept within the given time (unless one is officially discussing company business. ) Long lunch-time absence may be overlooked now and then, but not habitually. Also, although others may start getting ready to leave the office a few minutes earlier, new employees should be careful not to cut the day short. Work until the day officially ends at five o"clock if you are in an office where flexible work time is the accepted procedure. Flexible work hours--starting or ending work earlier or later--are fairly common in Europe but relatively new in the U. S. A. Some half million Americans are on the system; some people estimate that ten million will have that option sooner or later. The system is designed to ease traffic problems at first. But it adds family time to women workers as a result, for it enables them to choose their time working in an office, thus allowing them more chances to work and take care of their children at the same time. Besides it gives people a greater sense of control over their lives. A by-product appears to be greater worker productivity, less absenteeism and a higher sense of work ethic.

　如果你是在美国一个新来的一些办公程序可能比较陌生。

　再次，时间和速度突然出现问题。工作日正式开始在上午09时这应该真的是9点而不是10过去或九时半。你会发现一些人感到自由与起始时间，但雇主注意到这一点，即使他们不一定怪正式。

　在许多国家的员工有一个作品的时候，老板是存在的想法，但任何时候他是不存在的，如果没有什么特殊或榨尽，人们可以通过阅读报纸，做一个人的指甲放松身心，或以其他方式“传递以个人的方式的时候。“在美国，一个是被支付一个人的时间。员工们希望能够找到其他的工作，如果自己的办公桌，亲爱的，完成任何东西，从以前的日子离开，或帮助别人对他的工作 - 但决不会坐视而不做他们的职责。雇主预期值。因为他花的钱。他“拥有”你的时间，而他是为它付出。那句“时间就是金钱”，意味着正是这么做的。老板并没有要求更多的你比他正在做自己;他很有可能通过午餐时间工作，甚至把工作带回家深夜。

　员工的午餐时间应保持在规定时间内（除非是正式讨论公司的业务。）长的午餐时间没有可现在再被忽视，但不是习惯。此外，虽然别人可能开始准备离开办公室几分钟前，新员工要注意不要剪的日子很短。工作，直到有一天在五点钟正式结束，如果你是在办公室，灵活的工作时间是接受的过程。灵活的工作时间 - 启动或提前或推后结束工作 - 在欧洲相当普遍，但在美国相对较新 一些五十万美国人在系统上;一些人估计，千万迟早有该选项。该系统旨在缓解交通问题在第一。但它增加了家庭时间来女工的结果，因为它使他们能够选择自己的时间在办公室工作，从而使他们有更多机会合作，照顾他们的孩子在同一时间。除了给人在他们生活的控制感更强。副产品似乎是更高的工作效率，更少的缺勤和工作热情更高感。

　26. In the first paragraph, the phrase "crop up" means _______

　 D. happen or arise 27. In the sentence "...but employers notice this even though they do not necessarily blame it officially", the pronoun "this" refers to the fact that _______

　B. this or that employee is late for work

　28. The author suggests that it be a wrong idea that _______ in America.

　A. if one is not busy, he can relax by reading the newspaper

　29. A new employee should be careful __

　C, not to leave the office until the day officially ends

　 30. What is not true as far as flexible working time is considered?

　A. It has greatly reduced the traffic problem.

　26.在第一段中，“突然出现”的意思_______

　 D.发生或出现 27.在句子“......但雇主注意到这一点，即使他们不一定责怪正式”，代词“这”指的是事实，_______

　 解 短文理解 2 I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today.

　我认识到，每个人都有她或他自己的生活方式。我想改变我的生活方式。当然，我会继续学习。然而，我打算找一份兼职工作，这可能会变成是一个很好的机会去了解社会。我仍然相信我最难的工作确实让我高兴，我依然会留在大学，但我不会允许它遮蔽了我的现实世界。

　When Steven King published his book Riding the Bullet, around two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business, and it was a wake-up call for the publishing industry.

You can also highlight a word to" bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have bad eyesight. In fact, e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic. Another advantage is that it lets you buy books in segments and carry them around easily, which should appeal to students.
