Some of
6、 the difficulties they experienced when were trying to 【B1】 themselves to the new medium were technical. When working on radio, for example, they had become 【B2】 to seeing on behalf of the listener. This 【B3】 of seeing for others means that the commentator has to be very good at talking. Above all,
7、he has to be able to 【B4】 a continuous sequence of visual images which 【B5】 meaning to the sounds which the listener hears.

His hunt was going 【31】 that day, and he couldnt seem to find anything worthy of 【32】 his rifle. Then, his staff captured a black baby bear for the Presiden
19、t to shoot, but he could not. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he 【33】 the life of the baby bear and set it free. Based on this story, a famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star drew a cartoon, which showed Teddy Roosevelt, rifle 【34】 . with
20、 his back turned on a cute (可爱的) baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, was 【35】 by the cartoon to make a stuffed baby bear. Intending it only as a display, he placed the stuffed bear in his toy store 【36】 , and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Michto
21、ms surprise, his store was flooded by customers 【37】 to buy. He asked for and received President Roosevelts 【38】 to use his name for the band-sewn bears that he and his wife made, and the “Teddy Bear“ was born!

Companies 【B1】 low accident rates plan their safety programs, work hard to organize them, and continue working to keep them 【B2】 and active. When the
24、 work is well done, a 【B3】 of accident-free operations is established 【B4】 time lost due to injuries is kept at a minimum. Successful safety programs may 【B5】 greatly in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the program. Some place great emphasis on mechanical guarding. Others stress safe work p
25、ractices by 【B6】 rules or regulations. 【B7】 others depend oh an emotional appeal to the worker. But, there are certain basic ideas that must be used in every program if maximum results are to be obtained. There can be no question about the value of a safety program; From a financial stand-point alon
26、e, safety 【B8】 . The fewer the injury 【B9】 , the better the workmans insurance rate.

28、ult and costly task. 【31】 the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And, as every HR (Human Resource) manager knows, it is much more difficult to get rid of someone than it is to 【32】 them. The HR managers first decision is 【33】 to
29、recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company. 【34】 applicants are easy to recruit by memo, e-mail, or newsletter. Furthermore, they are easy to assess and know the company well. 【35】 , they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position. Moreover, a rejected internal candidate mi
30、ght become unhappy and leave the company. Recruiting outside the company means either advertising the vacancy directly or 【36】 an employment agency. If the company decides to advertise the vacancy directly, it has to decide where to place the 【37】 . Traditionally this has meant newspapers and profes
31、sional journals but now the Internet is also very popular. The decision normally depends on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior management 【38】 in national papers or professional journals, 【39】 the Internet is one of the best ways of advertisi
32、ng IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. However, with the Internet there is a risk 【40】 receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world. （分数：-1.00）A.FindingB.SearchingC.PlacingD.AppointingA.fireB.applyC.dismissD.employA.whetherB.ifC.whichD.whereA.TerminalB.ExternalC.AdditionalD.InternalA.Bes

The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases 【B1】 t
34、he decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be 【B2】 in our past experiences, which are brought into the present 【B3】 memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep 【B4】 available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ thing like arithmetic or historical fact
35、s, but also any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is 【B5】 when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six year old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory 【B6】 not only in humans and animals b
36、ut also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer 【B7】 that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“ ready
37、 for 【B8】 use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total 【B9】 of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on sig
38、ht. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and 【B10】 of words. （分数：-1.00）A.ofB.toC.forD.onA.keptB.foundC.soughtD.storedA.byB.fromC.withD.inA.experiencesB.basesC.observationsD.informationA.calle

The DINK couples are
40、 usually regarded as those who have higher educations and 【31】 careers with higher incomes. The increase in DINK families has shattered the Chinese traditional idea of the family and 【32】 typical. A survey conducted recently in Beijing by a market survey company 【33】 that about 33 percent of the 1,3
41、00 surveyed families in Beijing said they have 【34】 plans to have children. It is estimated there about 600,000 DINK families in large cities like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chongqing. Why they choose such a lifestyle is concluded in 【35】 reasons. Some are showing great worry for the r
42、apid growth of population; some are indulged in building a more well-off family; some are showing sharp 【36】 to get themselves free from the obligation of raising children. 【37】 , most people still believe it is necessary to bear a child to keep the family line on. As an old Chinese saying goes: The
43、re are three aspects in failing to be a filial son and the 【38】 serious one is to have no heir for the family. So, childless couples will suffer discrimination 【39】 family members and neighbors. But it is clear that the new tide of ideas has come, which suggests young people 【40】 to choose their own
44、 way of life. They are instilling modern ideas into traditional families and society. In the modernization process, personal choices will be highly respected. （分数：-1.00）A.stableB.availableC.achievableD.liableA.had becomeB.may becomeC.becameD.becomesA.directedB.inducedC.indicatedD.dictatedA.noB.notC.

46、scomfort for their fellows. Medical authorities express their 【B1】 about the effect of smoking on the health not only 【B2】 those who smoke but also of those who do not. In fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air polluted by the tobacco smoke may 【B3】 more than the smokers themselves.
47、As you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have 【B4】 an effort to 【B5】 the university to ban smoking in the classrooms. I believe they are entirely right in their aim. 【B6】 .I would hope that it is possible to achieve this by 【B7】 on the smokers to use good judgment and show c
48、oncern for others rather than 【B8】 regulation. Smoking is prohibited by city laws in theaters and in halls used for showing films as well as in laboratories 【B9】 there may be a fire hazard. Elsewhere, it is up to your good sense. I am therefore asking you to maintain “No Smoking“ in the auditoriums
49、and classrooms. This will prove that you have to keep nonsmokers health and well-being 【B10】 . which is very important to a large number of our students. （分数：-1.00）A.concernB.troubleC.interestD.displeasureA.toB.aboutC.withD.ofA.endureB.sufferC.undergoD.put up withA.joinedB.directedC.joined inD.directed atA.makeB.persuadeC.causeD.tellA.But thenB.HoweverC.FurtherD.MoreoverA.pleadingB.beggingC.insistingD.callingA.withB.byC.toD.inA.whichB.whenC.whereD.thatA.on mindB.in heartC.in mindD.on heartUntil recently most historians spoke very cr
