第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
The best advice young men and women can hear is“Go West”. Those who 36 to make their fortune or, at the very 37 , find good jobs have a better chance of doing so in China's western provinces 38 in the increasingly crowded eastern cities.Along the eastern coast, cities are 39 with newcomers looking for work.They seek 40 from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. 41 have found the latter, and fewer ever 42.
Some 160 years ago, young men and women moved 43 into New York, Philadelphia, Boston — the United States' equivalent(相等的) of Chian's Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were 44 for work, for riches, for fame. Few found any of them. The 45 joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs 46 to support themselves and their 47 .
Horace Greeley, a well-known American newspaper editor(编辑) of the period had
48 advice for those seeking work,“Do not,
" Greeley said,“
49 in the cities! There is room and health
in the country, away from the 50 of idlers(闲散者) and imbeciles(fools).Go West…"
In the mid-19th century, when Greeley called 51 people to go west, America was just to develop its western regions— 52 as China today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.
One thing more should be 53 to Horace Greeley's advice to the youth of his time: Go west—but go 54 .

Outdoor Survival Provides Adventure Worldwide
Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States, there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.
Students can participate (take part) in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies. Anyone can register with such groups, which then organize courses, training and trips for all members.
One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain, is Outward Bound (户外训练). It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.
The courses are intended to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence, self-esteem (自尊) and character. As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing, participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.
Michael Williams, an American student, took part in an Outward Bound course last year. He said: “We learned lots of first aid skills, lots of natural history, lots of environmental facts, and participated in a wildlife preservation programme. Beyond that, my favourite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”
Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14. Students must be in general good health, but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports. There is no selection process; everyone is welcome, although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical capacity.
Most of the British courses take place in the Brecon Beacons in Wales. Another similar organization is the UK Survival School, which includes courses on learning to live with the environment, sailing and winter survival. On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food, how to make fire and cook with it ,to find and build a shelter, control survival life support, how to cross rivers, send off a distress signal, and to use compasses by day and night.
According to the leaders, such adventures are “an awakening, an exploration into the unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the Earth’s roughest wilderness areas.”
56. In Britain and the United States, survival courses are popular with ______.
A. old people B. young people C. dangerous people D. weak people
57. The advantage of the training courses is that______.
A. participants can make friends with others
B. participants can visit some places of interest
C. participants can experience different adventures
D. participants can learn how wonderful nature is
58. In an Outward Bound course last year, the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was ______.
A. learning first aid skills B. collecting facts of environment
C. rock climbing and sailing D. preserving wildlife
59. What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage?
A. To persuade readers to take part in the training courses.
B. To tell readers the danger of this training course.
C. To introduce the wonders of the world to readers.
D. To introduce the training course to readers.

George Markov was a famous writer in Bulgaria. In 1969, he suspected that he was going to be put into prison or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on the leaders of Bulgaria. Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, preparing broadcast in Bulgarian.
Some of the BBC broadcasts were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line appeared to drop his umbrella. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg.
When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the accident to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel ill. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctor examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markov’s leg. There were two tiny holes in the pellet, and scientists believed that there had been an unknown poison in them.
A few weeks before Markov was “shot” with poisonous pellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 178, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few weeks but became well. When the news of Markov’s death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area which the poison had not been able to spread.
The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They hoped to catch their attackers.
60. In the passage we were NOT told that Markov______.
A. once lived in Bulgaria B. worked for the BBC
C. was attacked by somebody D. visited France
61. The cause of Markov’s death was that______.
A. he was working for the BBC
B. he was hated by Londoners
C. he made up stories when broadcasting
D. he once wrote something to attack Bulgarian leaders
62. As far as we can tell from the passage, Markov’s suspicions proved to be______.
A. correct B. incorrect C. unfounded D. unreasonable
63. Kostov wasn’t killed by the pellet because______.
A. he was stronger than Markov
B. The doctor saved him in time
C. the pellet stuck in a place which kept the prison from spreading
D. the murderer didn’t mean to kill him
C
When I come across a good essay in reading newspapers, I often feel like cutting and keeping it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health, or advice about how to be oneself in society. If I cut the front essay, the opposite one is bound to suffer damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject. As a result, the scissors would stay before they start, or halfway done when I find out the result that inevitably causes my regret.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both deserving (worthy) your attention. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be given up. But you know the future is unpredictable---the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind. Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad. How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative (choice) to the other.
In fact that is what life is like: we are often faced with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we take up another. The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I still remember a philosopher’s (哲学家) remarks: “ When one door shuts, another opens in life. ” So a passive choice may not be a bad one.
Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever life’s storm makes us go, there must be something we can achieve, some shore we can land on. Don’t forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one. While the front door is closed, there must be another open for you.
64. The main idea of the passage is______.
A. where there is a will, there is a way B. cutting newspapers gives us a lesson
C. all roads lead to Rome D. an equal chance is provided for everyone.
65. After reading the passage, we may know the writer is a person of______.
A. observation B . curiosity C. encouragement D. consideration
66. The word “fix” in “you are caught in a fix” in paragraph 2 refers to______.
A. difficult situation B. your preference of one choice
C. what is left behind D. two things are to be done at the same time
67. The underlined part in the passage tells us ______.
A. life is like cutting newspapers B. we can’t kill two birds with one stone
C. life sometimes changes completely D. it is often difficult to make a choice in our life
68. Which of the statements below is true to the passage?
A. Cutting newspapers is a hard job.
B. When you are caught in a fix, you have met two good things.
C. There must be a way that is better than the other.
D. You should maintain a positive attitude towards your choice.

JAPAN escaped the world’s most powerful earthquake in two and half years on Friday with only 400 injuries, most of them minor.
Damage from the pre-dawn quake --- measuring 8 on the Richter scale --- was relatively light, not only because it struck deep under the ocean but because Japan’s population was prepared for such an event.
Power and water supplies were cut off for several hours after the event. There were no reports of deaths directly caused by the quake, which struck at 4:50 am (local time). Two fishermen are still missing, though. Police suspect they have been swept away by the tsunami (huge ocean wave) that followed the earthquake.
A wide area of the island suffered damage: roads were blocked, fishing boats sunk, and part of the ceiling of Kushiro airport, 900 kilometres northeast of Tokyo, caved in. Kushiro, a city of 190,000 people, was believed to be the hardest hit.
In the nearby city of Tomakomai, black smoke and flames rose into the sky from an oil tank fire. There were no injuries though, and the fire was contained within hours. Officials said 188, 700 barrels of crude oil were lost.
Residents were shaken by the event, but stayed calm despite some 25 aftershocks--- at least one registering 7.1 on the Richter scale.
The quake was the strongest worldwide since the 8.4-magnitude quake of June 23, 2001. That, near the coast of Peru (秘鲁), killed 74 people.
Takeshi Matsumura, a Hokkaido government official, said 455 people were confirmed injured by late Friday.
Only 28 were seriously hurt, mostly suffering from broken bones. Located along the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, Japan is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries. (21st Century, October 2, 2003, Tuesday)
69. According to the news, Japan was struck by the 8-magnitude earthquake on______.
A. October 2, 2003 B. September 26, 2003
C. June 23, 2001 D. September 28, 2003
70. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The 2003 earthquake that hit Japan recently was the strongest worldwide quake in this
century.
B. A great part of the country was damaged because the Japanese were not prepared.
C. No people were killed in the earthquake but two fisherman disappeared.
D. Power and water supplies were cut off for only a few days.
71. What happened to the city of Tomakomai in the earthquake?
A. It suffered a harder hit than the city of Kushiro.
B. Part of the ceiling of Tomakomai airport caved in.
C. A fire burned for only a few hours before it was controlled but some people were injured.
D. An oil tank caught fire and black smoke and flames shot into the sky.
72. Which description about the quake of June 23, 2001 is true?
A. It happened not far away from the coast of Peru, killing 74 people.
B. 455 people were killed in the earthquake.
C. There were 25 aftershocks after the 8.4-magnitude quake.
D. It was the second strongest earthquake in this century.

In Britain, just after the main television news programmes, audience figures rise. It's weather forecast time. The BBC broadcasts forty-four live forecasts a day, 433 hours of weather forecasts a year, suing forecasters from the Meteorological Office(气象局). The Met. Office foretells about the weather seven days in advance. These are based on observations (观测) from the ground, from satellites and from radar. The observations are stored in a computer that can do up to 4,000 million calculations a second.
In Britain
the weather is news. A television weather forecast often begins with an
interesting fact the town with the top temperature of the day or the place with
the most rain. "The public like that kind of information," says
senior forecaster Bill Giles. The BBC forecasters are professional
meteorologists, but they do not have an easy job. They are the only presenters
on television who do not have a written text to refer to, and they cannot see
the map that they are describing. Viewers are often critical(挑剔的), especially
of female presenters. One woman left her job after rude letters and newspaper
reports about her clothes.
The British talk
about the weather more than almost any other subject, so it is a surprise to
discover that seventy percent of television viewers cannot remember what they
saw on the weather forecasts. "What happens is that people like watching
and hearing the forecasts, but they probably only take real notice when they
need to when they are going on holiday or wondering what the weather will be
like for the tennis at Wimbledon," says one forecaster. "Or, of
course, when we make mistakes !"
73. In Britain, television weather forecasts _______.
A. are more popular than news programmes
B. are recorded
in advance
C. are broadcast twice a
day
D. are clearly remembered by most viewers
74. BBC
forecasters feel their job difficult _______.
A. because
they have little knowledge of weather
B. because
they have to speak from memory and viewers are often critical
C. because
viewers do not like them
D. because
they have to begin forecasts with interesting stories
75. According to the passage, forecasts depend on _________.
A. viewers B.
large computers C. BBC D.
observations

Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. It is often easier to find work. There are always many choices of public transport. Besides, there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. You can eat in good restaurants, visit museums, go to cinemas and go to parks whenever you want to relax. However, living in a city is often very expensive. You must find a well-paid job, otherwise, you will not be able to afford the things you will do. What's more, the city is always crowded, noisy and dirty. It is very difficult to find a good place where people can enjoy peace and fresh air as in the countryside.
