Insurancecompanies (32) have been asking people in certain areas to install the alarms before they will give them insurance for the fast year. This is (33) _due_ to increasing crime in some parts of the country. This can be a problem for people (34) who are struggling to make (35) -不要填ends meet. The alarms, (36) which can be very expensive, need to be installed by an electrician. It is (37) estimated that 20% of homes have alarms installed, and that another 20% of people plan (38) to have them installed but have not installed them (39) yet. The insurance companies told people (40) to install the alarms on all doors and windows.2. 完型填空Traffic in India means a mixture of all kinds of vehicles on the road. About 700,000 new cars(31) have been sold in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many used cars have been traded.The countrys 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the worlds largest two-wheel market. But because there are still big differences (32)_in_ peoples incomes, the roads are full of a whole variety of (33) vehicles , lots of them not motorised. A ride (34) with a taxi driver in New Delhi gives a flavour of a typical Indian-style traffic with all kinds of vehicle held up in city streets or in long lines (35) on narrow country lanes. Cars, lorries and buses back up behind a cart (36) pulled by one animal or another. India has everything on the roads, the taxi driver says. You have to (37) watch out for pedestrians, bicycles, carts, cows, donkeys and even elephants. Three things (38) are recommended to drive here, a horn, brakes and good luck. Just then we were stopped (39) by a young boy and his cow. Given the hazards, its not surprising (40) that special ceremonies are held for new car owners in which the steering wheel and the driver are both blessed.3. 完型填空Most workers spend eight hours on the job a day on (31) workdays. They work because they need money for necessities. They spend about one third of their lives at work, but hate it. By contrast, some people actually (32) enjoy work. They spend (33) extra hours on the job each week and often take work home with them. They are called “workaholics(工作狂)” as they are addicted to their job as other people are (34 ) to alcohol. Workaholics would (35) rather work than do anything else and this can be most important to their life. Workaholics are often (36) under stress. They cant relax and feel tense. (37) As a result they may easily lose temper. Their work therefore has serious impact on their relationships and family life. Typical workaholics pay little attention to families. They spend (38) little time with their children and their marriages may (39) end in divorce. Their inability to relax may cause (40) health problems, such as high blood pressure. 4. 完型填空There are advantages and disadvantages to (31) both Asian and Western educational methods. For example, one advantage (32) to the education in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science (33) than American students. They also study more hours each day than Americans(34) do . The study is difficult,but it (35) prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, (36) yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized. The advantage to the education in North America, (37) on the other hand, is that students learn to think by themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values (38) new ideas.There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they havent memorized (39) as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries (40) have .5. 完型填空欢迎吴继铭登陆Jules Vernes most famous book is “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea”. (A “league” is an old word (16) meaning about three miles.) In those days submarines (潜水艇) had not been (17) invented ,but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find many strange things (18) at the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good (19) story-teller B. sailor. His characters often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed (20) to be real people.In another book, “Around the World in Eighty Days”, Jules Verne creates Mr. Fogg, the hero, (21)who made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days. Nowadays this may seem (22) easy to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars. Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different (23) ways , even on an elephant at one time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge (24) as well as his imagination in describing future inventions. (25) Sometimes he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is very clever.6. 完型填空Peter Blake is a successful businessman, but he (16)used to be very poor. He had nowhere to live and (17) was working in a pub when he (18) decided to start his own business. Peter had always (19) been interested in plants and flowers, (20) so he decided to set up a company (21) which cared for the plants in big offices. At first he worked on his (22) own, but soon he took (23) on_ two people to help him. The company has been growing (24) -不要填for the last ten years. Peter is now very rich, (25 ) _but_ he complains that now he doesnt work with plants but with a computer every day!第三部分 完形填空欢迎吴继铭登陆Passage 1Although international travel is usually an (21) _ and pleasant experience, travellers should take steps to ensure that their health does not suffer either (22) _ their time _ the air or _ their time abroad.Before you go, check with your doctor or local travel clinic (23) _ injections are necessary for the areas you are travelling (24) _.

You may not be able to concentrate for some days after you arrive.There are several things you can do to (28) _ the effects of jet lag: Do your (29) _ to relax during the flight; Sleep as much as you can on the flight.

Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, You are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and (27) _ regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary. Although he adds, But dont misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary.(28) _, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight.
