第三节 完形填空（共20小题，计分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21￣40各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
One of my favourite films is Mr. Bean At a Fancy（化装）Restaurant. In the film, after
being 21 at his table，Mr. Bean takes out a 22 ，writes a few words on it，signs his name，puts it into an envelope and
23 it on the table．After a moment，he looks at the 24 but this
time he looks surprised，as
if he did not know it was there．He
opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for
everyone to see．
When he looks at the 25 ，an astonished look quickly 26
on his face．He takes all 27
out of his pockets，counts
it and puts it in a saucer（碟子）．He
then looks from the menu to the money with 28 until
he finds one thing that makes him smile. He 29 a dish called “steak
tartare.” When the dish arrives，he
is 30 to discover that “steak tartare” is
31 a raw（生肉的）hamburger．He 32 an
attempt to eat it，but it is
33 ，from the look on his
face，that he finds the
taste really terrible．He
cannot 34 his feelings，except when the waiter asks whether everything
is OK．He smiles and nods， 35 that everything is fine．36 no one is looking，however，he
37 himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can 38
，inside a sugar bottle，a tiny flower vase and under a plate．He becomes so disappointed in the end that
he 39 hides some inside the 40 of a
woman sitting near him and throws some under the seat of the restaurant’s
violinist！
I like to watch Mr. Bean on TV but I wouldn’t want to meet someone
like him in real life．
My father had returned from
his business visit to London
when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my
mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I
knew so well, he said," How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet, "I cried
quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most
famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even
at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He
always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class,
our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club
and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand
Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and
quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his
delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be
dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being
different from everyone else, if it did not conflict（冲突）with his fear of drawing
attention to himself.
It seemed that he had
happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham
had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in
that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember
my eyes stinging（刺痛）and my
hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the
heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to
go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” "It's
up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind.”
41. The house the
writer's family lived in was _______.
A. the best they could
afford
B.
right for their social position
C. for showing off
D. rather small
42. His father
sold his Roils-Royce because _______.
A. it made him feel
uneasy
B.
it was too old to work well
C. it was too expensive to
possess
D.
it was too cheap
43. What was the
writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A. He was very unhappy.
B. He didn't believe
it.
C. He was delighted.
D. He had mixed
feelings.
44. We can know
from the passage that _______.
A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous
B.
Children can go to Eton if they will
C. It is very difficult for
a child to get admitted by Eton
D. Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton
B
A Battery's Worst Nightmare（噩梦）
Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as
good as their batteries and, let's face it, batteries aren't very good,
especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery's
energy into an equal space. That's why a large group of mechanical engineers（centered at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies)
are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs
on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or
mobile phone, you just fill up and go.
The engine----about the size of a ten-cent coin----starts with a
combustion chamber(燃烧室）that burns hydrogen(氢）．Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers（硅片）in the same manner that computer
parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits（集成电路）．The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could
be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be
produced quite cheaply.
But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency（效率）．Tiny engine parts don't always
behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the
parts can slow down the works, according to ColumbiaUniversity
professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine's designers. Extreme heat from the
combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the
engine.
The scientists' goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10
percent efficiency---that is,10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette
says that a complete system, with all parts of place and working, will be set
up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren't like until at
least the end of the next ten years.
45. According to
the passage, the title suggests that _______.
A. batteries should be
greatly improved B.
petrol will be used instead of batteries
C. the time of batteries
will be gone forever D. pollution caused by
batteries must be solved
46. What's the
meaning of the underlined word" devil" in paragraph 3?
A. problem
B. advantage
C. invention
D. technique
47. What can we
infer from the passage?
A. The new invention doesn't
need any fuel.
B. The new engine has been
produced in quantity.
C. The new invention is much
cheaper than the battery.
D. The new engine needs to
be improved before it's on sale.
48 What is the
main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce a new invention to readers.
B. To persuade readers not to use batteries.
C. To show us how the new invention works.
D. To declare when the engine will be on sale.
C
Beijing----The two-day Asia-Europe
Meeting（ASEM）is expected to sign important documents today
when it closes in Beijing．
The meeting is a timely call
for leaders from the two continents to find a solution to lift their countries，if
not the world，out of the present global financial crisis（dangerous
situation）.
Europe has been more
determined than the United States to get rid of the world’s present
economic system．It wants to build a new，or second－generation
system．
Asia and Europe built a new，equal
partnership in 1996 when the first ASEM was held.
The ASEM has 45 members that
account for 57 percent of the world’s population．Their foreign trade
makes up more than 60 percent of the world’s trade．
In 1997，when
Asia was hit by a financial crisis，the second ASEM in
1998 attempted to support its Asian members. The establishment of the
ASEM Asian Financial Crisis Response Trust Fund helped these countries to
rebuild financial system and remove the influence on their societies．
The present financial crisis has
affected more countries than the 1997 one．It is expected
to inflict a heavy blow on the world．
ASEM is not good at dealing with
financial problems．Still，developed and
developing countries of the ASEM think differently about solutions to the
financial crisis. It is widely known that the European Union is divided
over the issue．
As a result，it
is unrealistic to expect a cure-all for the crisis from the Beijing ASEM．Ding
Yuanhong，former China ASEM senior official，said
that without the presence of the US no plans are practical. But the ASEM
can serve as a platform for the two continents to communicate and
exchange ideas．
Their leaders can compare notes and
pool their wisdom.
The most important thing is
the message of confidence the meeting is expected to deliver to the world．
（China Daily 10／25／2008）
49. When did
ASEM come into being？
A．In 1996．
B．In 1997．
C．In l998．
D．In 2005．
50．What
can we know about the USA from the passage？
A．It
will attend the next ASEM．
B．It plays an important
role in ASEM．
C．It helped the Asian
countries a lot in the 1997 financial crisis．
D．It hasn’t been ready
to change the present economic system yet．
51．Which
of the following words can replace the underlined word “inflict”？
A．get
B．give
C．increase
D．influence
52．From
the news we can learn that _______.
A. the EU countries think
differently about the solutions to the financial crisis
B. the second ASEM in 1998 tried to
support its Asian members
C. Ding Yuanhong is against the USA’s
participation in ASEM
D．most
of the ASEM members are Asian countries

It's no secret that most busy American mothers use the TV
set as a live-in babysitter. In some households the tube holds a child's
attention for the odd half hour or two while mom works on dinner; in others it
is the child's constant daytime companion. Is there any harm in this?
Debate
on the question is very hot, and periodically research is published showing
that TV reduces attention span, makes children anxious or tend to be violent.
In today's cartoon David Horsey makes fun of the claims of "children's
TV", the special programming that supposedly uses entertainment to help
youngsters to learn to read and take their first steps in the big, diverse
world outside their family. What do children really get from this programming?
Horsey's
suspicion is that children's programming chiefly turns kids into TV addicts,
not into readers or happy mixers. The kid in the cartoon, still at the age of
pacifiers(奶嘴) and stuffed(填充) animals, is attracted
by the figure on the screen. What is the stimulating message of this creature
specifically designed to fascinate small children? "Can you say TV?"
The sooner the kid learns the word, the more effectively he can remind his
mother to turn on the tube.
A child hooked on TV is a viewer open to
commercial messages, and there are plenty of those targeting children of all
ages. Thus, at the very least, mom's search for peace and quiet sets the stage
for her child's transformation(改变) into an American consumer -- and, of course, takes
up time that could be used for other, perhaps more desirable, transformations.
57.
What does the underlined word “tube” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. babysitter B. something interesting C. television D. toy
58.According
to the passage, the reason why most busy American mothers use the TV set as a
live-in babysitter is that _____
A. they want their kids to learn
something from the programs.
B. they lack money to hire babysitters.
C. they want their kids to be peaceful
and quiet.
D. the kids are keen on watching TV.
59.
In David Horsey’s opinion, programs for children should ______
A. reduce kid’s attention span.
B. help kids learn to read.
C. make kids interested in it.
D. act as kids constant companion.
60. Which of the
following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Children of all ages are attracted by
TV.
B. Mom encourages her child to become an
American consumer.
C. American kids should not spend so
much time watching TV.
D. A child addicted to TV can understand
commercial messages.
