Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour guide to see that you get safely to your 41 . Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing—you 42 it—it’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no need for you to 43 to arrange anything yourself. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less 44 on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled 45 for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite 46 to be up and have breakfast early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added 47 of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like and have no 48 excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be 49 that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, for a short period on holiday, is an additional benefit. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by. III. Reading prehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. A true apology is more than just acknowledgement of a mistake. It’s recognition that something you’ve said or done has damaged a relationship—and that you 50 enough about the relationship to want it 51 . It’s never 52 to acknowledge you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need the art of apology. Look back and think how 53 you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 54 of a friend. Some deep thought in us know that when 55 a small mistake has been made, your feeling will stay out of balance until the mistake is acknowledged and your regret is 56 . I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with 57 illnesses: headache, insomnia (失眠), stomachaches and so on. No physical 58 could be found. Finally the doctor said to him, “ 59 you tell me what’s on your conscience, I can’t help you.” After a short silence, the man told the doctor that he 60 all the money that his father gave to his brother, who was 61 . His father had died, so only he himself knew the matter. The old doctor made the man write to his brother making an 62 and enclosing a 63 .

When the fragments(碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a et? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a et is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won’t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Mary scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end? Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author’s description of the disaster in 2094? The whole world bees extremely cold. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed. The whole mankind bees extinct. The visit of the et results in wars. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? Because they could only live in the warm climate. Because they once dominated the earth. Because their extinction indicates future disasters. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age. In writing the passage, the author intends to ______. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed tell the historical development of the Earth warn of a possible disaster in the future It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) ______. A. horror story B. news report C. research paper D. article of popular science C The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness, if fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious mitment, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor (單身漢) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a mitment. For mitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ______. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single he finds more fun in dating than in marriage he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement Raising children, in the author’s opinion, is ______. A. a moral duty B. a thankless job C. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain To understand what true happiness is one must ______. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime make every effort to liberate oneself from pain put up with pain under all circumstances be able to distinguish happiness from fun What is the author trying to tell us? A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. B. One must know how to attain happiness. C. It is important to make mitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness. Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A.Classroom participation B.Differences in American university education C.Examination system Dpetition among students E.Honest policy in students’ school work F.Students’ responsibility for learning 76. There is considerable variety in university classroom in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula, no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in munity colleges which are free and open to everyone. 77. Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. 78. Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructor expects students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not d
