III．完型填空 （每題1.5分，共30分）
In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call 21 and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did 22 the water. Any kind of 23 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 24 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 25 the water, moving through it, 26 it all around me. I was not a strong 27 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 28 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 29 those summer days with my father, who 30 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 31 person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go 32 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 33 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 34 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 35 . But my father always 36 and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s 37 .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 38 an ice cream…
A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood,; the rest is 39 .” And I think it is not only what we “l(fā)ook at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 40 , in that childhood, looks at us.
21．A. desire B. joy C. anger D. worry
22．A. avoid B. refuse C. praise D. love

Kathy started at my nursery school at the age of three. She settled into the group easily, and would be first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame. She could put on her coat without help and not only fasten her own buttons but other children’s too.
She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher. If anyone upset her or stood in her way, her right hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates. Children twice her age would fly in fear from her.
This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped. All the usual ways failed and then I remembered an account by G Atkinson Highfield School, of how fights in the playground had been stopped. No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims rewarded. So I decided to try out on Kathy.
With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around. She was so quick that it was impossible to prevent her scratching, but I was dertermined to stay within arm’s length all afternoon.
All was peaceful but then I saw Kathy’s hand moved and heard the scream. Gently I gathered up the little hurt one in my arms and said “Nice, nice sweetie” and then looked puzzled when she got nothing.
Soon came another scream, this time from John.. While holding him in my arms, I said, “Look, Kathy, a nice Smartie for John” and put it into John’s mouth.
A smile of understanding flashed across Kathy’s face. Minutes later, she came to me and said loudly, “Give me a Smartie! I have hurt my finger!”
“No,” I replied, “you’ll get it if someone hurts you.”
On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy, Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and rewarded him, then she walked away.
She has never scratched a child since.
Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting and punishment by rewarding and giving more attention to the injured ones. It’s certainly much easier and more effective.
45. From the passage, we know that Kathy is _______.
A. sensitive but slow B. smart but a bit rude
C. independent but selfish D. quick but sort of passive.
46. Kathy scratched Tom because _______.
A. she was angry at Tom, who was in her way
B. she wanted to get a Smartie from the teacher
C. she was in the habit of scratching other children
D. she wanted to know if the teacher meant what she had said
47. According to the passage, the underlined word “bullying” is closest in meaning to“_______”.
A. helping B. punishing C. hurting D. protecting
48. The writer of this passage aims to recommend an approach to _______.
A. rewarding children’s good behavior B. correcting children’s bad behavior
C. punishing badly-behaved children D. praising well-behaved children

Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption（消費(fèi)）on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial（最初的）attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty (忠誠) returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s （自我的）potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion-like celebrity ? has always been temporary.
49. Fashion magazines today ________.
A. seldom put models on the cover
B. no longer put models on the cover
C. need not worry about celebrities’ market potential
D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
50. A change in the consumer market can be found today that _______.
A. price rather than brand name is more concerned
B. producers prefer models to celebrities for achievements
C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned
51. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly ______.
A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products
B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business
D. influence the price of a celebrity’s products
52. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. celebrity and personal style B. celebrity and market potential
C. celebrity and fashion design D. celebrity and clothing industry
D
Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623 when the first patent law to protect IP sights was passed. IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/ she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing. But today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature.
In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether; the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.
53 According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to ______.
A. those creating music, art and literature
B. novelists
C. engineers and inventors
D. those not receiving financial reward for their work
54. What do we know about the internet according to the passage?
A. It makes IP rights harder to protect.
B. It sells songs and films.
C. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights.
D. It prevents the production of artwork.
55. According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?
A. Intellectual property rights.
B. The Internet.
C. Free downloading.
D. The large number of songs, films and books.
56. A possible title for this passage could be ______.
A. A History of
IP
C. The Present and the Future of IP D. IP Rights and Our Attitudes

Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days or more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel------private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.
The hotels themselves will vary greatly----from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.
Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.
Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back though you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.
57. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _______.
A. It is expensive to travel in space
B. they would find the possible life in other star systems
C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels
D. they want to realise the full potential of tourism
58. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?
A. The gravitational pull B. The special views.
C. The relaxation in a bar. D. The space walk.
59. Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?
A. When was the space traveling made possible?
B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?
C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?
D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?
60. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. traveling in space B. the ways of living in space hotels
C. zero gravity and space hotels D. the description of space hotels

Working Individually or Working in a Team
There are basically two ways to get work done. One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What’s more, they will be able to learn bow to solve problems on their own.
People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion.
Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important.
