20、the numbered spaces with ONE suitable word. Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 31 Space travel has never been billed (31) a first-class affair, but back in 1939 it was deemed downright uncivilized in the February 20, 1939, issue of TIME. The article summarized the British Interplanetary Societys

21、prediction of (32) astronauts would forgo on their (33) to the moon. Topping the list: smoking and water for washing-and there would be just enough coffee to keep the navigators from “(34) asleep over their interminable calculations“. By 1951 space (35) plans had become more grandiose. Famed rocket

22、scientist Werner von Braun predicted (36) a successful Mars (37) could be accomplished with (38) few as 46 rockets in a round trip that would take three years, in a later (39) with TIME, yon Braun affirmed. “Man belongs (40) he wants to go-and hell do plenty well when he gets there“. With the (41) W

23、ar heating up, the space (42) became an historic rivalry between United States and the Soviets. TIME heralded the (43) seven Mercury astronauts as men of destiny. Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin (44) TIMEs cover (45) he became the first human in space on April 12, 1961, but the article (46) described

24、the event in heroic terms also lamented the U.S.S.R. triumph as an American propaganda defeat. (47) than a year later when John Glenns flight put America back in the space race, TIME lauded Friendship 7s success as a triumph for the entire free world. In 1969 TIME covered the culmination of the Apol

25、lo program (48) a special package, “To the Moon“, calling the (49) flight “the most momentous journey since 1492“.

26、c premise that (50) man imagines he can bring to pass“. Part A Directions: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 In order to get your point across in your target language, you have to learn plenty, of

27、words. How do you set about it? Dr. Paul Meara, who lectures in applied linguistics, believes there are lots of different ways of learning words. “Generally, anything you do with the word which actually makes them yours rather than just abstract things which appear in a book or on a record will almo

28、st certainly help you to learn them. So, for example, writing them down is better than reading them. Putting them on bits of paper and sticking them up around your house is better than just looking at them in the page of a book. Saying them out loud is better than reading them quietly. Anything whic

29、h actually gets you to use would probably help“. Encouragement and nurturing in the students and belief in their ability to learn is one of the central tenets of a relatively new approach. Its called Accelerated Learning and its an offshoot of an idea that began in Bulgaria. Michael Lawlor runs a la

30、nguage school for business executives, teaching foreign languages to the British, and English to foreigners. Hes currently testing this system to see if he can incorporate it into his teaching program at his school. The main principle is to tap the students emotions as well as their intellects and,

31、to begin with, to get them to visualize themselves as successful communicators in the language theyre learning. “They can actually create a very clear mental picture of themselves in five years time, in the country where the language is spoken, interacting with the people. They can also boots their

32、own confidence as learners by recreating past successful learning situations. Many people fail in learning a language because they lose belief in themselves as a learner. The other element which we have found very helpful is to teach people to relax. People learn better when they relax. We teach the

33、m to sit properly so that they dont lose energy up. All these things are part of the learning process“. “Dr. Lazanov in Bulgaria, in his original experiments, found that baroque music produced a state of relaxed awareness, which is now known more generally as the alpha state. If you take the largo p

34、assages or the adagio passages from largo music, you find that they correspond more or less to the slowed-down speed of the human heart about 60 beats to the minute. So were helping people to slow down their body rhythms. The mind then becomes more receptive and open to passive learning, to listenin

35、g. So thats why music of this kind is important. But it also, of course, touches the emotions. The music will induce a state of pleasurable expectation and if we can link the emotion of pleasure with learning, then were making a very valuable contribution to the students affective, or emotional invo

36、lvement with the learning process“. The choice of a soft-spoken female voice to present the language in accelerated learning techniques is also deliberate. After ail, who was it who taught you to speak your own language all those years ago? 51 Many people fail in learning because _. （ A） they are to

37、o old. （ B） they lose their own confidence. （ C） they lack language ability. （ D） the teachers are not good enough. 52 You can remember the words in all the ways expect _. （ A） saying them out loud. （ B） looking at them in a book. （ C） writing them down. （ D） sticking them up around your room. 53 To

38、 visualize oneself is to _. （ A） describe oneself. （ B） make oneself relaxed. （ C） talk about oneself. （ D） create a clear mental picture of oneself. 54 Why is music important? （ A） It can arouse excitement. （ B） It can help to slow down body rhythms. （ C） It can make people eager to study. （ D） It

39、makes people used to the passive learning. 55 According to the passage, who is the most probable person to teach you to speak your own language? （ A） Your enthusiastic father. （ B） Your patient mother. （ C） Your soft-spoken female teacher. （ D） None of the above. 56 Although we already know a great

40、deal about influenza, and although the World Health Organization is constantly collecting detailed information from its chain of influenza reference laboratories throughout the world, it is extremely difficult for epidemiologists, who study infectious disease, to predict when and where the next flu

41、epidemic will occur, and how severe it will be. There are three kinds of influenza virus, known as A, B and C. Influenza C virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. The A and B types are unstable, and are responsible for the epidemics that c

42、ause frequent concern. Following any virus attack, the human body builds up antibodies which confer immunity to that strain of virus, but a virus with the capacity to change its character is able to by-pass this protection. Variability is less developed in the influenza B virus, which affects only h

43、uman beings. An influenza B virus may cause a widespread epidemic but will have little effect if introduced into the same community soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up antibodies and will be immune. The influenza A virus, which affects animals also, is extremely unstable and is

44、 responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease, such as the unparalleled pandemic, or world epidemic, of 1918-19, when about half the worlds population were infected and about twenty million people died, some from pneumonia caused by the virus itself and some from secondary complication

45、s caused by bacteria. Accurate prediction is difficult because of the complication of the factors. A particular virus may be related to one to which some of the population have partial involved immunity. The extent to which it will spread will depend on factors such as its own strength, or virulence

46、 the ease with which it can be transmitted and the strength of the opposition it encounters. Scientists, however, have a reliable general picture of the world situation, influenza A attacks us in waves every two or three years, while influenza B, which travels more slowly, launches its main assaults

47、 every three to six years. The outbreaks vary from isolated cases to epidemic involving a tenth or more of the population. We may confidently prophesy that sooner or later large numbers of people will be feeling the unpleasant effects of some kind of influenza virus. 56 Which of the following is the

48、 most appropriate title for the passage? （ A） Symptoms of influenza. （ B） Man Versus Virus. （ C） World Health Organization: Forefront against Influenza Virus. （ D） Variability of Influenza Virus. 57 According to the author, which of the following is NOT true about influenza? （ A） Man has obtained a

49、great deal of knowledge about influenza. （ B） The occurrence of influenza is still unpredictable. （ C） Extensive and systematic study on influenza is being done. （ D） No reliable treatment of influenza has yet been found. 58 What does the author say about the influenza B virus? （ A） B virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. （ B） B virus is unstable, and is responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. （ C） B virus is extremely unstable and is r
