专业 权威 高效 分享2012年英语六级完形填空基础练习题 Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. _62_ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still _63_ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on _64_ TV. Anyone who didnt know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made _65_ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our _66_ to work together before everything goes to hell.Granted, some amount of delusion(错觉)is probably part of the _67_ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work _68_, in the same spot-until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a _69_ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at _70_ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we _71_ did about the dangers we face. But it turns _72_ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is _73_ the storm, the quake or the _74_ itself. More often it is ourselves.So what has happened in the year that _75_ the disaster on the Gulf Coast?In New Orleans,the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls.They have got the walls to _76_ they were before Katrina,more or less.Thats not _77_,we can now say with confidence.But it may be all _78_ can be expected from one year of hustle(忙碌).Meanwhile,New Orleans offcials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to _79_ the sick and the disabled.The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a _80_ out.However,state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken.The _81_ with neighboring communities are on going and difficult.(本篇为07.6真题)_ 62 A) To B) By C) On D) For_ 63 A) fresh B) obvious C) apparent D) evident_ 64 A) visual B) vivid C) live D) lively_ 65 A) little B) less C) more D) much_ 66 A) reluctance B) rejection C) denial D) decline_ 67 A) natural B) world C) social D) human_ 68 A) revising B) refining C) rebuilding D) retrieving_ 69 A) review B) reminder C) concept D) prospect_ 70 A) preparing B) protesting C) protecting D) prevailing_ 71 A) never B) ever C) then D) before_ 72 A) up B) down C) over D) out_ 73 A) merely B) rarely C) incidentally D) accidentally_ 74 A) surge B) spur C) surf D) splash_ 75 A) ensued B) traced C) followed D) occurred_ 76 A) which B) where C) what D) when_ 77 A) enough B) certain C) conclusive D) final_ 78 A) but B) as C) that D) those_ 79 A) exile B) evacuate C) dismiss D) displace_ 80 A) ride B) trail C) path D) track_ 81 A) conventions B) notifications C) communications D) negotiations Have you ever wondered what our future is like?Practically all people _1_ a desire to predict their future _2_.Most people seem inclined to _3_ this task using causal reasoning.First we _4_ recognize that future circumstances are _5_ caused or conditioned by present ones.We learn that getting an education will _6_ how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy _7_ with a shark.Second,people also learn that such _8_ of cause and effect are probabilistic(可能的) in nature.That is,the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are _9_, but not always.Thus,students learn that studying hard _10_ good grades in most instances,but not every time.Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more _11_ and provides techniques for dealing _12_ then more accurately than does causal human inquiry.In looking at ordinary human inquiry,we need to _13_ between prediction and understanding.Often,even if we dont understand why,we are willing to act _14_ the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.Whatever the primitive drives _15_ motivate human beings,satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to _16_ future circumstances.The attempt to predict is often played in a _17_ of knowledge and understanding.If you can understand why certain regular patterns _18_,you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns.Thus,human inquiry aims _19_ answering both what and why question,and we pursue these _20_ by observing and figuring out._1.

And that _1_ does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less _2_ then, however, were the new, positive _3_ that work against the digital divide. _4_,there are reasons to be _5_.There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more _6_, it is in the interest of business to universalize access-after all, the more people online, the more potential _7_ there are. More and more _8_, afraid their countries will be left _9_, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be _10_ together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will _11_ rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for _12_ world poverty that weve ever had.Of course, the use of the Internet isnt the only way to _13_ poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has _14_ potential.To _15_ advantage of this tool, some poor countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices _16_ respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is a/an _17_ of their sovereignty might well study the history of _18_ (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didnt have the capital to do so. And that is _19_ Americas Second Wave infrastructure-_20_ roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on-were built with foreign investment._1. A) divide B) information C) world D) lecture_2.

In this way, it 2 a variety of functions in human life.The time spent in front of the television screen is usually at the 3 of leisure: there is less time for games, amusement and rest. 4 by what is happening on the screen, children not only imitate what they see but directly 5 themselves with different characters.

Are they better, or worse, managers than men? Are women more highly motivated and _1_ than male managers?Some research _2_ the idea that women bring different attitudes and skills to management jobs, such as greater _3_, an emphasis on affiliation and attachment, and a _4_ to bring emotional factors to bear _5_ making workplace decisions.

Public image is controllable 2 considerable extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.A firms public image plays a vital role in the 3 of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders 4 stockholders, suppliers, creditors, government officials, as well as 5 special groups. With some things it is impossible to 6 all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders, 7 it will undoubtedly find 8 from employees who see their jobs 9 .On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval, 10 low quality products and 11 claims would be widely looked down upon.A firms public image, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is a valuable 12 that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has learned a quality image, this is not easily 13 or imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to 14 higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most 15 creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firms stock to command higher price-earnings 16 than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.A number of factors affect the public image of a corporation. 17 include physical 18 , contacts of outsiders 19 company employees, product quality and dependability, prices 20 to competitors, customer service, the kind of advertising and the media and programs used, and the use of public relations and publicity.1.

Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an _4_ life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs _5_ into use between now and 2040.Pearson also _6_ a breakthrough in computer human links. By linking _7_ to our nervous system, computers could pick up _8_ we feel and, hopefully, simulate _9_ too so that we can start to _10_ full sensory environments, rath
