完形填空。     This year 1 the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Like some American 2 in the 2008
financial crisis, the ship was thought to be "too big to 3 ". But the banks failed and the Titanic failed..
.spectacularly! After hitting an iceberg, it plunged to the bottom of the 4 Ocean. In less than three hours,
the "unsinkable" ship was just a wreck and over1,500 people were dead.
     Most of us know the story of the Titanic from watching the James Cameron film. It"s now been released
in a 3D version and new audiences can see the tragic event  5  and be moved by the love story of the two
main characters, Jack and Rose. But Titanic is   6 a love story; it"s the story of   7 ordinary people react
when faced with   8  circumstances.
     In 1852, the HMS Birkenhead foundered on rocks near the coast of South Africa. The British ship
was carrying soldiers, and also many women and children. There weren"t enough 9 for everyone so the
order was given, "women and children first."  10 the women and children were being saved, the soldiers
stood at attention on deck and,   11  , went down with the ship. They faced their death with bravery and 
  12 .
     The  13  , "women and children first," became the standard on all British ships and it"s exactly what
happened on the Titanic. The ship"s crew and many passengers realized that they would not be saved,  14  
they did not panic. They helped others or 15 calmly for the icy death they knew was inevitable. In the movie, we see the ship"s musicians playing to help  16  the passengers. We see the ship"s officers keeping order as
the lifeboats are loaded. And we see British gentlemen "keeping their heads" as all about them are losing
theirs.
     No one knows how they will react in the face of a disaster. It all 17 one"s character. Remarkably, most
people behave well. We have seen this in America"s 911, in the 2008 Sichuan   18  and in Japan last
year.    19  such as the Titanic will happen, but the character of good people is   20  .

"London is ready to welcome the world," commission chairman Denis Oswald said. "We can feel that London is feeling the fever of the games."      On April18, the British capital marked the 100-day countdown to the opening ceremony of the Games, which will be held from July 27 to August12, with a series of events. A giant set of Olympic rings, made up of 20,000 flowers, were unveiled at Kew Gardens in west London. And the motto for the London Olympics has been announced as "Inspire a generation."      London 2012 chairman Seb Coe announced the motto. He said: "It is everything that we have been saying since we started this extraordinary journey." Coe added that the motto is also a call for athletes to come to the U.K. to perform at their very best and inspire the world.      The preparations for the Games are proceeding according to plan-being both on time and within budget, according to London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton. Deighton said that millions of people around the U.K. are getting ready to celebrate the biggest event in sport. "Eight million of the 11 million tickets have been sold to people in Britain and we are sure that Brits will get hold of a chunk of the other three million too."      Many of the test events have already been held at the Olympic venues. And a bigger one will come on the first weekend of May in the Olympic Park.     Coe has been mentioned by the British media and British bookmakers as among the contenders to light the flame, although his position as organizing committee leader always made that seem unlikely. Five-time rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave remains the betting favorite.

Pineapple Awards Celebrate Fruits of Science      We live in a world of wonder but not in a world of magic. And understanding that world does not mean learning a few tricks at Hogwarts. Instead, it means understanding how important science is in our daily lives.      Just take a moment and look around your home. The electric lamp on your desk, the silicon microchip in your mobile phone, your mother"s laundry detergent; they are all the results of science.      To get people more aware of these wonders that surround us, guokr.com, a science website, and Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Museum have established the "Pineapple Science Awards." The awards are to be given annually and recognize recent achievements in chemistry, physics, medicine and biology, mathematics and psychology. There are also two special awards for discoveries that are imaginative, fun and thought-provoking.      Zhou Xinyue"s research certainly met those criteria. The Sun Yat-Sen University professor was among the first group of Pineapple winners. She conducted an experiment that showed that counting money can ease pain. Professor Zhou had people count money and then dipped their hands into hot water. It turns out that after flipping through a brick of RMB, people can keep their hands in hot water for a longer time. I suppose this proves that although money can"t buy you happiness, it can certainly make your life less painful.      If that sounds a bit frivolous, it"s all in keeping with the spirit of the awards. They are intended to be light-hearted. That is why the pineapple was chosen as the awards" symbol. Ji Shisan, the founder of guokr.com, said, "This nutritive fruit has a bright color and pleasing taste while shaped in a strange way, which indicates the awards are pleasing, interesting, nourishing, and a bit strange."      Pineapple winner Zhou Xinyue added, "Some research topics seem to be weird but actually have deep meaning, which inspires us in a different way. The topics might be funny, but the research method should be serious and scientific."      Are you interested in science? Then reach for the sky. You might end up with a pineapple in your hands.
1. The awards recognize achievements in following fields EXCEPT________.
A. chemistry       B. biology       C. psychology     D. art
2. The examples in Para. 2 are to ______.
A. show how important science is in our daily lives B. prove learning a few tricks at Hogwarts is necessary in our daily lives C. get people more aware of these wonders that surround us D. indicate that some research topics seem to be weird and have little meaning
3. From Para. 5 we can know ______.
A. whether the pineapple was chosen as the awards" symbol B. how the pineapple was chosen as the awards" symbol C. why the pineapple was chosen as the awards" symbol D. why the pineapple looks so strange
4. According to Zhou Xinyue, _______.
A. if you reach for the sky you might end up with a pineapple in your hands B. the topics sounding funny doesn"t mean the research method isn"t serious or scientific C. although the pineapple looks strange, it has a bright color and pleasing taste D. counting money can ease pain and money can buy you happiness

More Chinese are seeking out the surgeon"s knife to improve their looks. Yet the tragic death of the former Super Girl Wang Bei has made people aware of the risks of cosmetic surgery, which is becoming increasingly popular.  Wang Bei,24,is said to have gone under the knife in Wuhan, to jump-start her stage-show career. It seems that the ambitious singer has finally achieved the fame and influence after her death.     For years Miss Lu expected a plastic surgery to make her jaw fashionable narrow and her face smaller. She finally decided against it after hearing of the death of Wang Bei. "Wang Bei"s death rang the warning bell for me,"Miss Lu said in her blog." It was frightening and I gave up the plan. "     A common thread of online discussion is why someone considered beautiful was so dissatisfied with her looks. Some netizens said Wang was a victim of society"s impractical standard of beauty:double eyelids,and the pointed chin typical of Western actresses. Others said her death indicated the limits to which people would go to achieve fame and fortune.     Last year 15 billion yuan was spent on cosmetic surgery and the figure is expected to rise  20％ annually. The International Society of Plastic Surgery ranks China first in Asia in terms of the number of cosmetic surgeries in 2009. Worldwide, China is third, after Brazil, while the United States is first.     Nowadays,people are living longer and better. But the effect of aging off their appearance affects their mood and confidence. Many older women want to look young and beautiful. Young people, on the other hand, see cosmetic surgery as the key to wealth and love. "They want to improve their appearance to find better opportunities at work and in marriage," says a famous plastic surgeon. "We"re living in a highly competitive society. People regard appearance as a weapon in life battle. Those who are young and naturally good-looking tell me,"I don"t care how much I spend. Just make me look more beautiful." "     Advice from a surgeon and psychologist:     1.Choose regular, qualified hospitals with a good reputation.     2.Try to find an expert surgeon who will not suggest several operations over time.     3.Don"t expect too much from changing your appearance. Safety should be the first.     4.Have a realistic understanding of the risks of the surgery (death,injury and failure)and make a balanced decision.
1. What"s the influence of Wang Bei"s death on the public?
A. People will feel alarmed at cosmetic surgery. B. Young people will have no interest in beauty. C. Doctors will be afraid to perform operations. D. No one will dream of becoming a Super Girl.
2. It is mentioned in the passage that________.
A. Miss Lu"s face is narrow and small B. Wang Bei is a victim of the Internet C. all Westerners have the pointed chin D. the US ranks first in cosmetic surgery
3. What"s the main idea of the 5th paragraph?
A. People are living 1onger and better nowadays. B. People are living in a highly competitive society. C. Social competition leads females to seek beauty. D. Cosmetic surgery is the key to wealth and love.
4. According to a surgeon and psychologist,it is better to________.

The purpose of a letter of application (求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary facts.      In writing a letter of application, keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader"s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your   10   in today"s newspaper," you might say "I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it." Try to   13   generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   14  . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I  15   in a letter? Employers want experience-which, naturally, no   16   has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is   17 . It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   18   a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent   19   is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it   20   for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you, your speech and your audience focused.      What a goal is      In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy (颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question.      Why a goal is important      Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech"s goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.      A goal is incredibly important to the speech"s ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.      Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech"s goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won"t know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech. ___________________________________      If you have been charged with (被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic (人口统计) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial(有争议的), it may be worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write. 1. According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine? A. Informing, delivering and entertaining.   B. Informing, persuading and entertaining. C. Informing, writing and delivering.         D. Informing, writing and persuading. 2. The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be _______.   A. to persuade the audience to vote for a candidate B. to celebrate the life of a person you admire C. to entertain the audience with humor and magic D. to persuade the audience to buy new products 3. All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that _______. A. a speech will lose its direction without a goal B. a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech C. a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing D. a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life 4. Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph? A. How to achieve a speech goal                   B. How to deliver a difficult speech C. What to consider to establish a goal         D. What to consider to deliver a speech
