Use the word given in the brackets to form

12、 a word that fits in the space. The general crisis has overtaken the modern world everywhere and in almost every aspect of life. And the crisis shows _18_ (it) differently in each country, involving different areas and taking on different forms. In the United States of America, one of its most chara

13、cteristic and suggestive aspects is the crisis that _19_ (appearance) again in education that, during the last decade at least, has now become a _20_ (politics) problem of the first significance, reported on almost daily in the newspapers.To be sure, no great _21_ (imagine) is required to detect the

14、 dangers of a constantly progressing decline of elementary standards throughout the entire school system, and the seriousness of the trouble has been _22_ (proper) underlined by the countless efforts, which are certainly ineffective, of the _23_ (educate) authorities to stem the tide (扭转局面).Still, i

15、f one compares this crisis in education with the experiences of other countries in the _24_ (twenty) century, with the revolutionary confusing state after the First World War, with concentration and extermination camps, or even with the deep discomfort which, despite appearances of prosperity (繁荣) t

16、o the contrary, has spread throughout Europe ever since the end of the Second World War, there is to a small extent _25_ (difficult) to take a crisis in education as seriously as it deserves.It is tempting indeed to regard it as a local phenomenon, unconnected with the _26_ (large) issues of the cen

17、tury, to be blamed on some peculiar life in the United States which is not likely to find a counterpart (对应物) in other parts of the world.Yet, if this were true, the crisis in our school system would not have become a political issue and the educational authorities would not have been _27_ (able) to

18、 deal withit intime.Section C (共10分，每小题1分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I have been told by more than one bookseller that, here in China, so far as books

19、on English are concerned, grammars sell better than other kinds of books except readers and dictionaries. And _28_ seems to me that nearly every Chinese who learns English at all reads a grammar. I myself am a serious student of grammar; I cannot tell how many English grammar books I _29_, by Chines

20、e, English, American, Japanese, Danish and Dutch authors, and am always on the look-out for new ones.The object of this article, _30_, is to advise you not to devote too much time to the study of grammar. I study grammar for grammars sake, but I do not think every student of English should do so. Yo

21、u study English in order to be able to make practical use of it. This object _31_ by mere study of grammar. I do not even think I should now be able to write such simple English _32_ that of this book if I had read nothing but grammars.Grammar tells you some general rules, some exceptions to rules,

22、and perhaps some idioms. But the correct use of English is not a mere matter of such. _33_, grammar has what is called the double object, as in “He gave her a pen”; but it would be wrong to say “He introduced her a friend”, in which “her” and “friend” seem to _34_ the double object. The fact is that

23、 “introduce” cannot take the double object; but this point is not to be learnt from grammar but only from careful reading. Many Chinese students write _35_ that might be justified by one grammatical rule or another but are certainly wrong.I believe you have already read a few grammars, and probably

24、have spent a great deal of time on the subject, though you _36_ not now be able to write anything say a short letter grammatically perfect. Grammar can help you to use English, but only to a certain extent. Careful reading and constant practice are _37_. Do not look on the study of grammar as all or

25、 nearly all that you have to do in order to master English. 28.A. thereB. itC. thatD. what29.A. have readB. was readingC. had readD. would read30.A. thereforeB. moreoverC. howeverD. somehow31.A. hasnt obtainedB. wasnt obtainedC. isnt to obtainD. isnt to be attained32.A. whichB. asC. thatD. where33.A

As a result34.A. formB. causeC. defineD. state35.A. articlesB. storiesC. essaysD. sentences36.A. shouldB. mayC. needD. must37.A. the most importantB. much more naturalC. the most convenientD. far more importantIII.

27、小题2分)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Have you ever wis

28、hed that you could make your little sisters teddy bear talk to her? Or have you ever wanted to bring a puppet (木偶) to life? If so, you may be interested in learning the art of ventriloquism (腹语术). A ventriloquist can make an ordinary object seem to be alive by giving it a personality, movement, and

29、speech. Your object can be a puppet, or a doll. Give your new “friend” a name, and then decide on the personality that he will have. The next step is to give your friend movements that agree with the personality you have chosen. Now you can learn to make your “friend” talk. A ventriloquist will cont

30、rol his mouth and lips so that it will appear that his voice is coming from the object he is using. This will take practice, but you can do it. First, decide on a voice that is different from your own. It could be higher or lower than yours, or could even have a special accent. Then, find a clean te

31、aspoon and hold the handle between your front teeth. Now, look into a mirror and talk, using the voice you created for your friend and holding the handle of the teaspoon tightly between your teeth. Practicing with the spoon in your mouth will help you learn to keep your mouth from moving. Now try telling a joke in your normal voice and have your friend speak in his voice. Practice those words until you can say them without your lips moving at all. Ventriloquism is fun. It also requires hard work to become good at it. The most important thing to do is
