专题三 完形填空 （一）基础入门篇 01 The hobby of collecting autographs is called philography, from a Greek word meaning love of writing. People collect many kinds of autographs. Some collect signatures or other handwritten materials of authors, composers, movie stars, or sports heroes. Others focus on certain events such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a presidential election, or the space program. Some collectors try to acquire a complete set of autographs of Novel Prize winners or Academy Award winners. Collectors may request autographs from celebrities either in person or by letter. Most beginning autograph collectors do not have the knowledge to determine whether an autograph is genuine. They may mistake other kinds of signatures for genuine handwritten signatures. For example, some people have secretaries who sigh their mall. Some individuals send out mass-produced letters or signed photographs to collectors who request their autographs. Many famous people use a mechanical device called an Autopen to sign autographs. The machine can sign 3,000 signatures in eight hours. The only way to recognize an Autopen autograph is to compare two of them. All Autopen autographs are identical, but no two handwritten autographs are exactly alike. 1.

The DLNK couples are usually regarded as those who have higher educations andstablecareers with higher incomes. The increase in DINK families has shattered the Chinese traditional idea of the family andbecomes typical.A survey conducted recently in Beijing by a market survey companyindicatedthat about 3.8 percent of 1,300 surveyed families in Beijing said they havenoplans to have children. It is estimated there are about 600,000 DINK families in large cities like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing.Why they choose such a lifestyle is concluded invariousreasons. Some are showing great worry for the rapid growth of population; some are indulged in building a more well-off family; some are showing sharp(36)to get themselves free from the obligation of raising children. However, most people still believe it is necessary to bear a child to keep the family line on. As an old Chinese saying goes, there are three aspects in failing to be a filial son and themost serious one is to have no heir for the farnily. So childless couples will suffer discrimination fromfamily members and neighbors.But it is clear that the new tide of ideas has come, which suggests young peoplewantto choose their own way of life They are installing modem ideas into traditional families and society. In the modernization process, personal choices will be highly respected.31.A.stableB.availableC.achievableD.liable32.A.hadbecomeB.maybecomeC.becameD.becomes33.A.directedB.inducedC.indicatedD.dictated34.A.noB.notC.hardlyD.scarcely35.A.elegantB.abundantC.similarD.various36.A.tensionB.attentionC.intentionD.interaction37.A.MoreoverB.HoweverC.AccordingD.Generally38.A.mostB.moreC.latestD.less39.

His hunt was going poorly that day, and he couldnt seem to find anything worth of firing his rifle. Then, his staff captured a black baby bear for the President to shoot, but he could not. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he spared the life of the baby bear and set it freeBased on this story, a famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star drew a cartoon, which showed Teddy Roosevelt, rifle in hand , with his back turned on a cute baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, was inspired by the cartoon to make a stuffed baby bear. Intending it only as a display, he placed the stuffed bear in his toy store window ,and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Miehtoms surprise, his store was flooded by customers eager to buy. He asked for and received President Roosevelts permission to use his name for the hand-sewn bears that he and his wife made, and the Teddy Bear was born! Michtom was soon manufacturing Teddy bear by the thousands. The money from the sale enabled him, in 1903, to form the Ideal Toy Company.31.

Appointing the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And, as every HR(Human Resource) manager knows, it is much more difficult to get rid of someone than it is to employ them.The HR managers first decision is whether to recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company . Internal applicants are easy to recruit by memo, e-mail, or newsletter. Furthermore, they are easy to assess and know the company well. However, they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position. Moreover, a rejected internal candidate might become unhappy and leave the campany.Recruiting outside the company means either advertising the vacancy directly or using an employment agency. If the company decides to advertise the vacancy directly, it has to decide where to place the advertisement. Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journals but now the Internet is also very popular. The decision normally depands on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue_collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and management positions in national papers or professional journals, while the Internet is one of the best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. However, with the Internet there is risk of receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world.31. A. Finding B. Appointing C. Placing D. Searching32. A. fire B. apply C. employ D. dismiss33.

Ideally, therefore, the choice of an occupation should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, however, most people make several job choices during their working lives, partly because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their position. The one perfect job does not exist. Young people should therefore enter into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of work rather than for a single jobUnfortunately many young people have to make career plans without benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing little about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss basis. Some drift from job to job. Others stick to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common mistake is choosing an occupation for its real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, disregarding both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal requirements. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is no good reason for choosing it as lifes work. Moreover, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should give serious consideration to these fields.Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants out of life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take risks for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.1：AidentificationBaccommodationCoccupationDentertainment2: AtherebyBhoweverCthoughDtherefore3:AthoroughlyBmainlyCentirelyDpartly4:AitsBhisCtheirDour5:AthereforeBsinceCfurthermoreDforever6:AfitBmakeCtakeDleave7:AmeansBjobCwayDcompany8:AtoBforCwithDwithout9:AlittleBfewCmuchDa lot10:AchanceBpurposeCbasisDopportunity11:AapplyBappealCturnDstick12:AitsBtheirCyourDour13:AconcerningBfollowingCignoring/disregardingDconsidering14:ApreferencesBrequirementsCtendenciesDambitions15:AaBanyCtheDno16:AThereforeBMoreoverCNeverthelessDHowever17:AmajorityBmassCminorityDnumber18:AproposalBsuggestionCapprovalDconsideration19:AtowardsBout ofCagainstDwithout20:AturnsBpartsCrisksDchoices02Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories acting on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior because they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interactions with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status, or as a rejection of middle-class values.Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, ignoring the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate parental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are subject to criticism.Changes in the social structure may indirectly affect juvenile crime rates. For example, changes in the economy that lead to fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment in general make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain. The resulting discontent may in turn lead more youths into criminal behavior.Families have also experienced changes these years. More families consist of one-parent households or two working parents; consequently，children are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family structure. This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the growing incidence of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act, although a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.1.

Before considering this question, it will be useful to introduce some related concepts. Conflict, define as opposition among social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is distinguished from competition, which means opposition among social units independently seeking to obtain something which is in inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who participate in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both classes of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is thus contrasted to cooperation, a process by which social units function in the service of one another. These definitions are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited resources , but conflict isnt . Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable likely of human societies.Many authors have that their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best alive remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition in nature starve to death or are either by other types of animals. This struggle for existence is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of individuals for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.1.

Dana Denis is just 40 years old，but already shes worried about what she calls my rolling mental blackouts.” ”I try to remember something and I just blank out，”she saysYou may joke about these lapses，calling them ” senior moments ”or blaming early Alzheimers .”Is it an inescapable fact that the older you get，the less you remember? Well, sort of.But as time goes by, we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily agerelated.“When a teenager cant find her keys，she thinks its because shes distracted or disorganized，”says Paul Gold.“A 70-year-old blames her memory .”
