完形填空
Passage 1
Although international travel is usually an (21) exciting and pleasant experience, travellers should take steps to ensure that their health does not suffer either (22) from…in…from their time _____ the air or ______ their time abroad. Before you go, check with your doctor or local travel clinic (23) which injections are necessary for the areas you are travelling (24) to. Allow sufficient time to have these injections before you (25) leave because they may take time to become effective. Be sure that the information on health is up-to-date. Check on the Internet if you are not sure. Don’t go to bed late the day (26) before _ you fly.
Your body has a natural daily sleep pattern. It takes time to adjust to a new time zone. There are many different (27) effects of jet lag: you may not be able to sleep, you may not want to eat or you may feel sick and tired. You may not be able to concentrate for some days after you arrive.
There are several things you can do to (28) lessen the effects of jet lag: － Do your (29) best to relax during the flight; － Sleep as much as you can on the flight. Use a mild sleeping pill if necessary; － Drink as much water as you can; － Don’t drink alcohol and caffeine;
－ Take mild sleeping pills (30) for the first few days in the new time zone if you need them. Passage 2
A study (21) has shown that fitness is the key (22) to long life, irrespective of body shape or even smoking habits. Researchers discovered that people (23) who exercise live longer than those who do not, (24) even if _ they are overweight and smoke. The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times (25) more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or (26) were overweight. Scientists concluded that it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, \exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary.\it is to be sedentary.\(28) However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight. The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers (29) to reduce high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the hard-sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation's health. But the new study suggests the Government (30) encourage more people to exercise. Passage3 More and more people (31) _have___ to install burglar alarms in their houses if they want to get insurance. Insurance companies (32) have been asking people in certain areas to install the alarms before they will give them insurance for the fast year. This is (33) _due___ to increasing crime in some parts of the country. This can be a problem for people (34) who are struggling to make (35) –-不要填ends meet. The alarms, (36) which can be very expensive, need to be installed by an electrician. It is (37) estimated that 20% of homes have alarms installed, and that another 20% of people plan (38) to have them installed but have not installed them (39) yet. The insurance companies told people (40) to install the alarms on all doors and windows.
Passage4
Traffic in India means a mixture of all kinds of vehicles on the road. About 700,000 new cars (31) have been sold in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many used cars have been traded. The country's 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the world's largest two-wheel market.
But because there are still big differences (32)___in___ people's incomes, the roads are full of a whole variety of (33) vehicles , lots of them not motorised. A ride (34) with a taxi driver in New Delhi gives a flavour of a typical Indian-style traffic with all kinds of vehicle held up in city streets or in long lines (35) on narrow country lanes. Cars, lorries and buses back up behind a cart (36) pulled by one animal or another. \have to (37) watch out for pedestrians, bicycles, carts, cows, donkeys and even elephants. Three things (38) are recommended to drive here, a horn, brakes and good luck.\Just then we were stopped (39) by a young boy and his cow. Given the hazards, it's not surprising (40) that special ceremonies are held for new car owners in which the steering wheel and the driver are both blessed. Passage5
Most workers spend eight hours on the job a day on (31) workdays. They work because they need money for necessities. They spend about one third of their lives at work, but hate it. By contrast, some people actually (32) enjoy work. They spend (33) extra hours on the job each week and often take work home with them. They are called “workaholics(工作狂)” as they are addicted to their job as other people are (34 ) to alcohol. Workaholics would (35) rather work than do anything else and this can be most important to their life. Workaholics are often (36) under stress. They can’t relax and feel tense. (37) As a result they may easily lose temper. Their work therefore has serious impact on their relationships and family life. Typical workaholics pay little attention to families. They spend (38) little time with their children and their marriages may (39) end in divorce. Their inability to relax may cause (40) health problems, such as high blood pressure. Passage 6
There are advantages and disadvantages to (31) both Asian and Western educational methods. For example, one advantage (32) to the education in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science (33) than American students. They also study more hours each day than Americans(34) do . The study is difficult,but it (35) prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, (36) yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized. The advantage to the education in North America, (37) on the other hand, is that students learn to think by themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values (38) new ideas.There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized (39) as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries (40) have . Passage7
Jules Verne’s most famous book is “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea”. (A “league” is an old word (16) meaning about three miles.) In those days submarines (潜水艇) had not been (17) invented ,but he describes an underwater ship very like a modern submarine. The captain of the submarine, called Captain Nemo, and his men have many strange adventures and find many strange things (18) at the bottom of the ocean. He was a very good (19) story-teller B. sailor. His characters often did surprising and sometimes impossible things, but they always seemed (20) to be real people. In another book, “Around the World in Eighty Days”, Jules Verne creates Mr. Fogg, the hero, (21)who made a bet that he would travel around the world in eighty days. Nowadays this may seem (22) easy to you, but in those days there were no planes or even cars. Mr. Fogg and his servant traveled in many different (23) ways , even on an elephant at one time! If you want to know their result, you should read the book. In all his books Jules Verne used his scientific knowledge (24) as well as his imagination in describing future inventions. (25) Sometimes he was wrong, of course, but often the accuracy of his descriptions is very clever. Passage 8
Peter Blake is a successful businessman, but he (16)used to be very poor. He had nowhere to live and (17) was working in a pub when he (18) decided to start his own business. Peter had always (19) been interested in plants and flowers, (20) so he decided to set up a company (21) which cared for the plants in big offices. At first he worked on his (22) own, but soon he took (23) on_ two people to help him. The company has been growing (24) ---不要填for the last ten years. Peter is now very rich, (25 ) _but__ he complains that now he doesn’t work with plants but with a computer every day! Passage 9
Frank knew he was very ill. He spent days walking, sometimes as far as thirty miles in a day, trying to reason with the pain, and strange thoughts in his mind. Then, one night, he made up his mind that he would go to the hospital and ask them to admit him. He reported to out-patients and asked to see a psychiatrist. A junior doctor eventually examined him and listened to Frank's confused account of having been in hospital before, of how he thought he ought to be admitted again because he was so confused and knew something was very wrong with him.
The doctor did not admit him. Frank cannot remember whether he was told that the hospital was full or that they simply did not believe him. \ anybody there to help.\So Frank went back on to the streets to find a future of sleeping outside, the occasional shelter in hospitals, and sometimes prison whenever he was picked up for being drunk: drunk because it was the only way he could forget his condition. Frank had sought help and been turned away. Thousands of others like him can find no help either. They are the sufferers from long-term mental illness that confuse the minds of their victims. Passage 10

Traffic in India means a mixture of all kinds of vehicles onthe road. About 700,000 new cars (31) have been sold in India in the last twelve months, andabout twice that many used cars have been traded. The country's 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the world's largest two-wheel market.

Threethings (38)are recommended to drive here, a horn, brakes and good luck.\ by a young boyand his cow.Given the hazards, it's not surprising (40) that special ceremonies are held for new car owners in which the steering wheel and the driver are both blessed. Passage 12
The ancient Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in honour of the Greek god Zeus, the father of all Greek gods and goddesses.
The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious sanctuary. In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts of money. In fact the word “ athlete ” is an ancient Greek word, meaning “ one who competes for a prize ”.
The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games. The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896. It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race. 阅读理解
