    二、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）
    I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against a 16 opponent(对手). The score was 20 to 17 in her  17 . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I  18 my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me  19  and said we had to continue until one of us  20 .
    “Look,”I said, “if we 21 , one of two events will take place, either you or I will win.If you win, I will begin to 22  my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn’t it better to know that we both played 23  , that we enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even(相等) score?” This was a 24  ending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made  25  to me to leave with a tie(不分胜负) game, an impasse(僵局): no winner, no 26  .
    So, my friends, here is the problem  27   me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to  28  other nations for retaliatory(报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there  29  be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice to  30  global destruction is glogal impasse. This would be a  31  “tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise(妥协). This is because compromise becomes the only means of  32 . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to  33  understanding of victory. The 34  victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, 35  no one loses either.

    I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.

    The next day I   28   his teacher at my office to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had responded .
    “   29   , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first   30   we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say.

    Women Can’t Keep a Secret
    The average woman cannot keep a secret for longer than 47 hours, a new study suggests.
    Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip as soon as they hear it. They will typically spill the beans to at least one other person in 47 hours and 15 minutes.
    Depending on who the gossip is about, their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother are most likely to be the initial recipients (接收者) of the information.
    The study of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret—no matter how personal or confidential the news was.
    The study found the nation’s ladies hear three pieces of gossip a week, but end up passing it on to at least one other person.
    Three in 10 admitted having the urge to reveal someone’s secret. However, two thirds end up feeling guilty after passing on secrets.
    Three quarters say they are capable of keeping quiet about a secret, and 83 per cent consider themselves 100 per cent trustworthy within each group of friends. Yet, four in ten admit to gossiping to a close friend from another friendship group.
    More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who does not know them, with over 40 per cent saying their husband is their final one they share secrets with.
    Fortunately for some though, over a quarter (27 per cent) said they forgot what they were told the following day.
    44. How long can women keep a secret?
    A. At least two days  B. Longer than two days.  C. Two days.  D. 47 hours and 15 minutes
    45. Women will share gossip with all the following except________.
    A. their boyfriend or husband   B. their best friend
    C. their brother or sister        D. their mother
    46. According to the study, ________ women were unable to keep a secret.
    A. 1,200    B.1,800     C. 2, 400    D. 3,000
    47. Which of the following is true?
    A. Most women are not trustworthy
    B. More than forty per cent tell secrets to their husband.
    C. Few women feel guilty after passing on secrets.
    D. Over a quarter think it is acceptable to share gossip.

    Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Every- thing motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
    Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
    Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded briefcase as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
    I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
    68.The author mentions “coconuts falling” in the first paragraph to ________.
    A. show his loneliness                                  B. add beauty to the jungle
    C. express his love of nature                      D. stress the absolute silence
    69.How does the author feel about the ant?
    A. He admired its attitude toward work.
    B. He was shocked at its tireless efforts.
    C. He showed sympathy for the little ant.
    D. He was content to have it as a companion.
    70.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably _______.
    A. work harder than before                      B. talk to the man on the horse
    C. make his way home                                 D. stay in the valley
    71.We can learn from the passage that the author ________.
    A. enjoyed being alone                                B. had an unforgettable adventure
    C. missed his busy life in the city              D. experienced a world of quietness

    It has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply don't have very good driving ability. On the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women.
    From this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. Another very interesting fact that we should point out is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. Somehow they were prevented from making this step in their lives, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests from an early age.
    However, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating (积累) experience. So more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. While taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license, this is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily.
    To conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. They just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. And on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them.
    67. Compared with the past, nowadays many women___.
    A. prefer to have a driving license
    B. have more accidents while driving
    C. are somehow prevented from driving
    D. are the only driver in the family
    68.  What advantage do women have over men in driving?
    A. They have more skills.
    B. They are much more careful
    C. They know more traffic rules
    D. They have more driving experience
    69.  What can we infer from the passage?
    A. Teenage girls cannot take driving tests.
    B. Men didn't allow women to drive in the past.
    C. With enough experience, women can become good drivers.
    D. Women can easily pass their tests by taking driving lessons.
    70.  The passage mainly talks about___.
    A. women and their driving ability.
    B. men and their driving ability.
    C. why men are better drivers than women.
    D. why more women like to have a driving license

       Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport（护照）.

    All the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
    Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
    Every book stands by itself, like a one--family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too.
    Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "you ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time  and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process.
    72. In the writer's opinion, in fact reading is a process of ________.
    A. listening to the author                                   B. accepting the author's ideas
    C. communicating with the author and yourself             D. judging the author's work
    73. The writer thinks that the most unfortunate people are those _______.
    A. who don't have any books                                  B. who can't enjoy reading books
    C. who don’t like books                                     D. who read too many books
    74. To find pleasure in reading, you should read the books _______.
    A. written by famous writers                                             B. written in humor style
    C. which you like to read                                     D. which are recommended by your friends
    75. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to _______.
    A. show the importance of reading                               B. tell us how to make reading more effective
    C. tell us how to read                              D. show the pleasure of reading
