a. rocket scientists can ensure the cnn works properly. b. its easy to know people neednt watch the news all the time. c. its necessary to understand when people watch the news. d. most of the viewers dont like to watch the news at work.35. the passage is mainly written to tell us that _. a. old methods are changing with time b. opportunities lead to business success c. successful companies need wise leaders d. conventional wisdom limits innovation第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。winter running is the best way to lose winter weight. but before heading out, make sure you have a solid plan. you dont want to come across accidents along the way. 36 wear the right shoesthe right shoes will depend on the road. you want shoes that are made for the kind of surface you run on. for example, if you are running on slippery surfaces, you want shoes with great friction（摩擦力） 37 when trying out a pair of running shoes, check the fit, feel and ride of the shoes. these elements are important once you take your new shoes out for a run.warm upwarm up is an important part to keep fit. especially if temperatures drop and your muscles are stiff from the cold! 38 it also prepares the muscles for the intense activity ahead. the cold climate wont feel as cold when you do warm ups. this is because blood flows much faster after a good warm up!deal with wind39 the key is to run into the wind and finish by running against it. this keeps icy wind from blasting your face. to prevent any injuries or accidents, break your run into smaller parts.40 you can use certain creams on the nose and cheeks to prevent frostbite. dont skip your sun-block if youre running during the day. uvb（紫外线）passes through the clouds. running for an extended period on a cloudy day will still damage the skin!a. dont run in the wind.b. running makes you warm.c. warming up prevents injuries.d. its hard to run if its too windy.e. your shoes should fit very well so you dont slip.f. here we are giving you important tips to remember.g. it also helps to keep the skin protected from the wind.第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1分， 满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。i had just started my second year studying at cambridge university when i was faced with the news i had never expected. a lump in my neck 41 out to be cancer. i would 42 six months of chemotherapy（化疗）. after the shock, i was struck by this thought: my 43 didnt have any room for cancer. i had so much i wanted to 44 and so many goals i wanted to chase. i was faced with the 45 job of telling my friends and family. then, i had to decide whether to 46 in cambridge and take five exams at the end of the year. my doctor 47_ against it, and so did my parents and teachers. my doctors and teachers convinced me
