14、erent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct. (A)Accidents happen almost everywhere every day. Some accidents are not serious an

15、d some really are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. And people usually think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways until they (25) _ come across accidents in their homes or even at work places. As a matter of fact, home accidents are just as common a

16、s those we see and hear on the roads, some of (26) _ cause even much more serious consequences. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents that happen in homes.There (27) _ (be) many serious cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise f

17、lats so far. In most cases, children and women often fall over while (28) _ (step) down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet floors, getting badly hurt or even killed, if they are not careful.Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances at home (29) _ _ rice cookers, micro waves and wa

18、shing machines, which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill people (30) _ they are used in the proper way. Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.But all such accidents (31

19、) _ be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to repair them. Therefore, it is safer and more reliable (32) _ people get them repaired by an electrician.(B)A study of E

20、nglish learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that nearly all these students considered (33) _ (understand) spoken English, especially in the first few weeks, to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking or communicating. Writing th

21、en increased as a big problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they (34) _ (expect) to hand in. And at the same time, reading remained as a significant problem.The information (35) _ (gain) helped us in determining where special attention should be paid to in our course. Al

22、though many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note (36) _ seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching or teacher-centered English learning in their own country. It

23、 would be self-defeating (37) _ (use) the same method, especially if it has failed in the past or it is too complicated to follow or imitate, (38) _ it might reduce motivation and interest. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.(39) _ variety of activities was also regarded a

24、s a way of maintaining or increasing motivation and interest. Several years ago we had the first timetable that operated throughout the course of English learning, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about half-way through the ten weeks. This led us to a major

25、re-think, and we had to explore a much (40) _ (effective) way of English learning, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there

26、is one word more than you need. A. wandered B. applications C. intellectual D. occurred E extraordinaryF. objectives G. relatively H. release I. threatening J. accomplished K. completelyJohn Nash, a Nobel Prize winner and mathematical genius whose struggle with mental illness was documented in the O

27、scar-winning film “A Beautiful Mind”, was killed in a car accident on Saturday. He was 86. The accident _41_ when the taxi Nash was traveling in ran into another car on the New Jersey Turnpike. Neither of the two drivers involved in the accident underwent life-_42_ injuries.At Princeton, Nash publis

28、hed a 27-page essay about the field of game theory, which led to _43_ in economics, international politics, and evolutionary biology. His signature solution found that competition among two opponents is not necessarily governed by zero-sum logic. Two opponents can, for instance, each achieve their m

29、aximum _44_ through cooperating with the other, or gain nothing at all by refusing to cooperate. This simple understanding is now regarded as one of the most important social science ideas in the 20th century, and a proof to his almost unique _45_ gifts.But in the late 1950s, Nash began a slide into

30、 mental illness and each therapy failed to cure him, and for much of the next three decades, Nash _46_ freely on the Princeton campus, scratching his hands on empty blackboards and staring blankly ahead in the library. Robert Wright remembers Nash as “some math genius that went crazy” who wore color

31、ful shoes and quietly watched people. His mental illness removed him _47_ from his work. By the time Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994, he hadnt published a paper in 36 years.But like a child cured of a terrible dream by the switch of a light, Nash recovered from his illness seemingly by choosing not to be sick anymore. Five years later, the _48_ of the film “A Beautiful Mind”, based on Sylvia Nasars 1998 book of the same name, expanded Nashs _49_ life story to an international audience. He continued to work, travel, and speak at conferences for
