Explanations of and practice using some of these textbook parts and 【B4】 are covered
11、in these even numbered lessons. The features in textbooks are 【B5】 into the following three categories. Front matter is the 【B6】 -numeral paginated section at the front of most books.

The DINK couples are
14、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 1,30
15、0 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 ra
16、pid 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: Ther
17、e 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

Specialists 【B8】 history and economics, have 【B9】 two things: that the period from 1640 to 1740 was 【B10】 by great

The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases 【B1】 the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be 【B2】 in our past expe
37、riences, 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 facts, but also any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is 【B5】 when a rat giv
38、es 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 but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for s
39、toring 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 for 【B8】 use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,00
40、0 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 sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence of human bein
41、gs. 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.calledB.takenC.involvedD.includedA.existsB.appearsC.affectsD.seemsA.toB.withC.againstD.forA.progr

In speaking, the choice of words is 【B1】 the utmost importance. Proper selection will el
43、iminate one source of 【B2】 breakdown in the communication cycle. Too often, careless use of words 【B3】 a meeting of the minds of the speaker and listener. The words used by the speaker may 【B4】 unfavorable reactions in the listener 【B5】 interfere with his comprehension; hence, the transmission-recep
44、tion system breaks down. 【B6】 , inaccurate or indefinite words may make 【B7】 difficult for the listener to understand the 【B8】 which is being transmitted to him. The speaker who does not have specific words in his working vocabulary may be 【B9】 to explain or describe in a 【B10】 that can be understoo

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
47、fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air polluted by the tobacco smoke may 【B3】 more than the smokers themselves. 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 r
48、ight 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 concern 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
49、be a fire hazard. Elsewhere, it is up to your good sense. I am therefore asking you to maintain “No Smoking“ in the auditoriums 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.call
