In speaking, the choice of words is 【B1】 the
6、 utmost importance. Proper selection will eliminate 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
7、comprehension; hence, the transmission-reception 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

The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases 【B1】 the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to b
10、e 【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 facts, but also any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory
11、 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 but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example
12、, 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 for 【B8】 use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the m
13、eanings 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 sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving int
14、elligence of human beings.

Medical authorities express their 【B1】 about the
16、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. As you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have 【B4】 a
17、n 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 concern for others rather than 【B8】 regulation. Smoking is prohibited by city
18、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 and classrooms. This will prove that you have to keep nonsmokers health and w

There are thirteen or more of them, and if 【B3】 is missing a deficiency disease becomes 【B4】 . Vitamins are similar because they are made of the same elementsusually carbon, hydrogen , oxygen ,

They are different 【B6】 their elements are arranged differently, and each vitamin 【B7】 one or more specific functions in the body. 【B8】 enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for 【B9】 vitamins. Many people, 【B10】 . believe in being on the “
23、safe side“ and thus take extra vitamins.

25、 radio commentators were able to be effective on television. Some of the difficulties they experienced when were trying to 【B1】 themselves to the new medium were technical.

In the 【B6】 of television, however, the commentator sees everything with the viewer. His role, therefore, is
27、 completely different. He is there to make 【B7】 that the viewer does not miss some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things, and to 【B8】 the images on the television screen. Unlike his radio colleague, he must know the 【B9】 of silence and how to use it at those moments 【B10】 the pic

30、 and his family 【B2】 he produces a surplus. He must use this surplus in three ways: as seed for sowing, as an insurance 【B3】 the unpredictable effects of bad weather and as a commodity which he must sell in order to 【B4】 old agricultural implements and obtain chemical fertilizers to 【B5】 the soil.

The DINK couples are usually regarded as those who have higher educations and 【31】 caree
34、rs 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 1,300 surveyed families in Beijing said they have 【34】 plans to have ch
35、ildren. 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 rapid growth of population; some are indulged in building a more well
36、-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: There are three aspects in failing to be a filial son and the 【38】 seri
37、ous 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 way of life. They are instilling modern ideas into traditional fami
38、lies 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.hardlyD.scarcelyA.elegantB.abundantC.similarD.variousA.tensionB.atte

Knowing where to look for information and 【B3】 to expect in a book can greatly increase your ability to use all the information there. Explanations of and practice usi
41、ng some of these textbook parts and 【B4】 are covered 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 text is the main body of the book. The 【B7】 matter comprise

44、spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They 【B1】 that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 【B2】 man. But they insisted that its 【B3】 results during the period from 1740 to 1840 were widespread poverty and misery for the 【B4】 of the English popu
45、lation. 【B5】 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1640 to 1740, when England was still a 【B6】 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity. This view, 【B7】, is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists 【B8】 history and economics, have 【B9】 two things: that the
46、period from 1640 to 1740 was 【B10】 by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace. （分数：-1.00）A.admittedB.believedC.claimedD.predictedA.plainB.averageC.meanD.normalA.momentaryB.promptC.instantD.immed

48、cult 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
49、 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 might 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
