Fill in each blank withthe word or phrase that best fits the context.（A）Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason whyastronauts on solo（单独的） space flight were given plenty ofwork to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communicationwith people on the earth,46 , beingwith people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than beingalone. This is what happens on long submarine（潜水艇）voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problemsof adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during longsubmarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the moreserious the problem of 48is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they beginto feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that areordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time,however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. Whenpeople are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation.That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason whyso much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testingand training. One of the things tested is their behaviour under stress. 45AtiredBasleepCconsciousDbusy46ASofarBAfter allCHoweverDTherefore47AlongBfastCdangerousDdirect48AfuelBentertainmentCadjustmentDhealth49AshutupBheld upCbrought upDpicked up50ApleasingBannoyingCcommonDvaluable51AnoisyBaloneCpersonalDsociable52AemphasisBconflictCpowerDpressure53AhandleBcreateCaffectDinvestigate54AbecomingBchoosingCorderingDpromoting（B）One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards inour schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As aFrench graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe Ihave some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in theeducation system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method,and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on languageteaching. The first is the removal from the curriculum（课程）of the thorough teaching of English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentencefrom its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in abilitygroups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem tobe in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately theystop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessonsat school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from thecurriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupilswant or need.55ADuetoBIn addition toCInstead ofDIn spite of56AerrorsBsituationsCsystemsDmethods57AvocabularyBcultureCgrammarDliterature58AwideBsimilarCseparateDunique59AkeptoutBturned downChelp backDleft behind60AsurprisinglyBindividuallyCequallyDregular61AextraBtraditionalCbasicDregular62AAlthoughBBecauseCUntilDUnless63ArestoredBabsorbed CprohibitedDwithdrawn64AwastingBfocusingCexploitingDsharingIVReading ComprehensionDirections： Read the following four passages.

The good news:With the introduction of a “foreverstamp,”it may be the last time Americanshave to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage diffcrences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps inbooklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-elass stamp. As the name implies,“forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing valueforever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service（USPS）answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase willbe the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation （通货膨胀），competition from online bill paying, and therising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, aSpokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “Itsnot your grandfathers stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildrens stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similarstamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, hes interested in the publics reaction. “Thisis an entirely new class of stamps,”Mr. Schilling says. He adds that hellbuy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time,not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large forcollectors. “We wont be able to send our kids to college onthese,” he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal RegulatoryCommissions decision, but tends to followits recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of thestamps.72The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp”is .Ato reduce the cost of printing2-or 3-cent stampsBto help save the consumers cost on first-class mailingCto respond to the complaints aboutrising postal ratesDto compete with online bill paying73By saying “It could be your great-grand childrens stamp”,Mr Saunders means that forever stamps Acould be collected by ones great-grandchildrenBmight be very precious ingreat-grandchildrens handsCmight have been inherited from ones great-grandfathersDcould be used by ones great-grandchildren even decades later74Which of the following is trueaccording to the passage?AThe investment in forever stampswill bring adequate reward.BAmerica will be the first countryto issue forever stamps.CThe design of the “forever stamp”remains to be revealed.D2-or 3-cent stamps will no longerbe printed in the future.75What can be concluded from thepassage?AWith forever stamps, there will beno need to worry about rate changes.BPostal workers will benefit mostform the sales of forever stamps.CThe inflation has become a threatto the sales of first-class stamps.DNew interest will be aroused incollecting forever stamps.（D）The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may neverbe the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal toenvironmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financialsupport to produce eco-friendly tens made of cardboard that can be recycledafter the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandonedtents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at theUniversity of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material thatcan be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has beenmade waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard tomake big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material forhis tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after MrDunlop Graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turnit into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the Citys private companies which fund new businessesand found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to fourof Mints directors and won their support.Mint has committed around 500,000to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be testedat festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, couldhave other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the LondonOlympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and putup at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removedby the company afterwards, They can be Personalized and the company will offerreductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior（外部的） advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, withGlastonhury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becomingincreasingly environmentally conscious.76“Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents.Aeconomically desirableBfavorable to the environmentCfor holding music performancesDdesigned for disaster relief77Mr Dunlop established his business.Aindependently with aninterest-free loan from Mint Bwith the approval of the Citys administrationCin partnership with a financegroupDwith the help of a Japanesearchitect78It is implied in the passage that .Athe weather in the UK.
