CLOZE TEST

  In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts say the   1   is to make jobs more varied(多样的).But do more varied jobs   2   greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that   3   variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it doesn't   4   make him work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then,   5   is not an important factor.

  Other experts feel that giving the worker   6   to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true.The   7   is that this kind of freedom can't easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated(复杂的)machinery which must be used in a   8   way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to   9   it.

  Another important   10   is how much each worker   11   to the product he is making.In most factories the worker   12   only one small part of the product.Some car factories are now   13   with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his   14  .It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor   15   it is one we can do something about.

  To what   16   does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is   17   .But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring.  18   just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A   19   argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we   20   making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. And in the  36  300 years, there were  37  many changes in  38  places that now people can  39  tell an English person  40  an American in the way he or she talks.

Many old words  41  in England but were kept in America. For example, 300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a

“faucet”, a “spigot”, or a “tap”. All these words are  42  heard in different parts of America, but only “tap” is still common in  43 . Americans often made up new words or changed old  44 . “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and  45  in England.

Also, over the last three centuries the English language  46  thousands of new words for things that weren’t known  47 . And often, American and English people used two  48  names for them. A tin can (洋铁罐头) is called “tin” for short in England, but a “can” in America. The word “radio” is  49  all over the world, including America. But many English people call it a “wireless”. And almost anything having something to do  50  cars, railroads, etc.  51  different names in British and American English.

But now American and British English may be growing closer together. One  52  is the large amount (数量) of American speech that British people hear daily in movies, on television, or  53  travelers.  54  this, Americans seem to be influencing (影响) the British more and more. So some day, English may even be  55  on both sides of the Atlantic (大西洋).  

36.A. following     B. recent       C. oldest        D. last

37.A. such              B. too                C. so                 D. great

38.A. either            B. both               C. neither          D. two

39.A. hardly            B. difficulty        C. clearly          D. easily

40.A. with              B. from                C. to               D. and

41.A. disappeared   B. were disappeared   C. spoke   D. were spoken

42.A. not                B. hardly              C. yet             D. still

43.A. America         B. the two countries   C. England     D. British

44.A. word              B. forms              C. ones             D. ways

五、Cloze test(完形填空)20分

When Dave was eighteen,he bought a second-hand car for £200 so that he could travel to and from work more  1  than by bus.It worked quite well for a few years,but then it got so old,and it was costing him  2  much in repairs that he decided that he had better  3  it.

Dave's friend Sam saw that he was  6  when they met one evening,and said,“What's  7 ,Dave?” Dave told him and Sam answered,“Well,what about advertising it in the paper?
