The dress of an individual is a kind of sign language that (3)_a complex set of information and is usually the (4)_on which immediate impressions are formed (5)_a concern for clothes was(6)_ a feminine preoccupation, while men took pride (7)_the fact (8)_they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness. This type of American culture is gradually changing as mans dress (9)_ greater variety and color. Even (10)_1995, a research in Michigan revealed that men (11)_ high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. White collar workers in particular viewed dress as a (12)_capable of manipulation, that could be used to impress or (13)_others, especially in the work situation. The white-collar worker was described as (14)_concerned about the impression his clothing made on his (15)_ . Although blue-collar workers were less(16)_ that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing, they recognized that any difference fro the (17)_ pattern of dress would draw ridicule from fellow workers. Since that time, of course, the (18)_ have changed: the typical office worker may now be (19)_ blue shirt, and the laborer a white shirt; but the importance of dress has not (20)_ .1.

The existing framework 【B1】 to physical assault and care of the dead has no 【B2】 for organ transplantation. It is 【B3】 to get the permission of the relatives, 【B4】 because organ 【B5】 must take place immediately after death, it may be impossible to reach the relatives 【B6】 time. It has been suggested that there should be a widespread campaign to encourage persons to 【B7】 in their wills that their organs be used for transplantation. An 【B8】 is to provide by law that permission is 【B9】 unless removal has been forbidden by the individual in his lifetime. It is, of course, important that there 【B10】 public reassurance that consideration of transplantation would not 【B11】 normal resuscitative(抢救的) efforts of the 【B12】 donor.

As a professor 【B1】 it recently: When we try to describe faces precisely words 【B2】 us, and we 【B3】 to identikit procedures. 【B4】 . according to a research 【B5】 this subject, we can each probably recognize more than 1,000 faces, the majority of which differ in 【B6】 details. This, when one comes to think of it, is a 【B7】 feat, though, curiously enough, relatively little attention has been devoted to the fundamental problems of how and why we 【B8】 this gift for recognizing and remembering faces. Some scientists argue that it is an inborn 【B9】 . and that there are special characteristics about the brains 【B10】 to distinguish faces. On the other hand, there are those, and they are probably 【B11】 the majority, who claim that the gift is an acquired one. But 【B12】 all these arguments, sight is predominant. 【B13】 at the very beginning of life, the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an 【B14】 habit, one that is essential for daily living, if not 【B15】 for survival. How essential and valuable it is we probably do not 【B16】 until we encounter people who have been 【B17】 of the faculty (能力). This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all, 【B18】 such people can often recognize individuals by their voices or their walking manners. With typical human 【B19】 many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by recognizing other 【B20】 features.1. A described B said C put D talked about2. A take B fail C help D desert3.

A special B general C characteristic D particular One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldnt tolerate my (B1) apartment. Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the (B2) between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the (B3) every time she leaned over to talk to him, (B4) he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such (B5) in a public place? I thought the movie would be good for my English, but (B6) it turned out, it was an Italian movie. (B7) about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and (B8) on my popcorn. Ive never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, (B9) . After a while I heard (B10) more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the (B11) of the pop- corn crunching between my teeth. My thought started to (B12) I remembered when I was in South Korea, I (B13) to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean-I was really amazed, lie seemed like a good friend to me, (B14) I ,saw him again in New York speaking (B15) English instead of perfect Korean. He didnt even have a Korean accent and I (B16) like I had been betrayed. When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. (B17) we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very (B18) and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to (B19) in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it (B20) out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! Weve been speaking Korean at home ever since.1.

A workedB gotC cameD made Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of 【B1】 is partly to 【B2】 things or processes with no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology. 【B3】 , they save time, for it is much more 【B4】 to name a process than describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very 【B5】 included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather 【B6】 the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders. Different occupations, however, differ 【B7】 in their special vocabularies. It 【B8】 largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have 【B9】 themselves into the very fibre of our language. 【B10】 . though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally 【B11】 . than most other technical terms. 【B12】 every vocation still possesses a large 【B13】 of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even 【B14】 educated people. And the proportion has been much 【B15】 in the last fifty years. Most of the newly 【B16】 terms are 【B17】 to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once 【B18】 a close federation. What is called popular science makes everybody 【B19】 with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, 【B20】 made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.1. A whichB whatC whoD whom2. A describeB talk aboutC designateD indicate3.

A thoughB whenC asD since Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy【B1】during the 90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology【B2】. But how? In the late 90s, the answer seemed obvious: Indians.【B3】all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would【B4】Indians to Germany just as America does: by【B5】green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and【B6】that they would issue 20,000 in the first year.【B7】, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the【B8】would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later【B9】half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was【B10】. I told the German official at the time that I was sure the【B11】would fail. Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy,【B12】I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American【B13】). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued,【B14】it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost【B15】path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record).The official【B16】my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. We need young tech workers, he said. Thats what this program is all【B17】. So Germany was asking bright young【B18】to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange landbut without any【B19】of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was【B20】received in India and other countries, and also by Germanys own immigrant community.1. A soarB hoverC amplifyD intensify2.

Inflation is an economic condition in (B1) prices for consumer goods (B2) , and the (B3) of money or purchasing power decreases. There are three causes of inflation. The first and most important cause may be excessive government spending. For example, in order to (B4) a war or carry (B5) social programs, the government may spend more money than it has received through taxes and other revenues, thus creating a deficit. In order to (B6) this deficit, the Treasury Department can simply (B7) the money supply by issuing more paper money to (B8) the debts of government. This increase in the money supply will cause the value of the dollar to (B9) decrease. The second cause of inflation occurs when the money supply increases faster than the supply of goods. (B10) people have more money, they will run out to buy popular goods (B11) televisions and computers, for example, and a shortage will result. Industry will then produce more, at higher prices, to (B12) demand. (B13) , if people think that the prices of popular goods are going up, they will buy and even borrow money at high (B14) rates to pay for them. Finally, if labor unions demand that workers wages (B15) or (B16) the high cost of living, industry will meet this demand and add other costs of production on the (B17) . (B18) summary, all of these causes can (B19) inflationary problems that can affect the welfare of a nation. However, of these three causes, (B20) government spending may be the most important.1.
