a. nearly 4 out of 10 players in the uk suffer from toothaches. b. they have been invested a great deal by individual players. c. many players poor teeth bother their career and daily life. d. british footballers teeth are examined regularly.33. what mainly results in professional footballers poor teeth? a. experiencing too much training. b. eating food with too much sugar. c. breathing in lots of air during exercise. d. having little education of oral disease prevention.34. these findings are worrying clubs because_. a. footballers arent willing to give up sugary or acidic food b. theyve spent much on their players oral disease prevention c. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public d. players oral disease may lead to bad performance in games35. this passage is most probably taken from_. a. a dentists diary b. a sports newspaper c. a medicine magazine d. a science report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。some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. they see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 36 they hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future. the car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. it should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 37 unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. 38 when the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 39 the driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. the computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. _40 it is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.a. the driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.b. other experts however think the car is here to stay.c. the car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.d. there will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.e. one suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.f. the computer will then monitor all the cars movements.g. all of the experts dont know what will happen in the future.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)i wrote my first poem at the age of seven and showed it to my mothershe read and cried, “buddy, you really wrote a beautiful poem!”shyly but 41 , i said yesshe poured out her 42 . “it was nothing short of talent!”“what time will father be home?” i askedi could hardly wait to 43 my work to himi spent quite some time 44 for his arrival. i wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting, drew a fancy border around it and 45 i placed it right on my fathers plate on the dining table. my father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. i was sure he would be able to 46 my poem.at almost 7 oclock my father burst in. he seemed 47 . he circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees.suddenly he paused and glared at his plate. “what is this?” he was reaching for my poem.“ben, buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began. “and its beautiful, absolutely amaz”“if you dont mind, id like to decide for myself.” father said.i 48 my head as he read that poem. it was only ten lines. but it seemed to take hours. then i heard him dropping the poem back on the table. now came the moment of 49 .“i think its terrible,” he said.i couldnt look up. my eyes were getting 50 .“ben, these are the first lines of poetry hes ever written,” my mother was saying. “he needs 51 .”“i dont know why.” my father held his ground. “isnt there enough awful poetry in the world already?”i couldnt 52 it another second. i ran from the dining room crying. up in my room i 53 myself on the bed and cried the worst of the 54 out of me.that may have been the end of the story, but not of its 55 for me. i realized how fortunate i had been. i had a mother who said, “i think its wonderful!” and a father who drove me to hear with “i think its 56 .”every one of us needs that mother force, from which all 57 flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete. it needs the balance of the force that 58 , “watch. listen. review. improve.”those 59 voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me. between the two poles of 60 and doubt, both in the name of love, i try to follow my true course41a. typicallyb.
