三、十五选十题范围
1、第一题
As a foreigner doing busine in the United States,I feel very rushed.I am used to friendly opening exchanges when doing busine.Here in Chicago,things are different.There is no time for getting to know one another.This does not seem____appropriate______to me.There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over iue.There are no_____rituals_____like tea or coffee before discuing busine,though this is a（n）___convention_______in my country.when we discu busine it starts with a（n）____leisurely______chat.I think that it is important for busine partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed.If the exchange is too_____abrupt_____,there is a risk that something will be forgotten.Some poibilities go without being____aeed______ when there is too much preure.I don’t believe this is the best strategy for proper communication.Besides,the____perception______ is that they just don’t care about you as an individual here.You are basically just another____means______of making monkey.
All of this used to create a real_____dilemma_____for me.At first,it caused me to have as little_____interaction_____with American busine partners as poible.Gradually,though,I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries.This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing busine here.
2、第二题
Bill Johnson\'s path to Olympic gold was different than that of most.In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many _rejected_ him as a true Olympic hero.He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much.Moreover, he only became _involved__ in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17.There was no lifelong _commitment__ to the sport.He did not __exemplify_ the Olympic spirit.He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.
Still, few failed to _appreciate_ his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo.He was just a natural skier and his technique was _perfect_ for the course.And so even before the race began, he was _claiming_ victory.\"This course was made for me.Nothing can stop me,\" he had boasted.He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race.This made many skiers __hostile__toward him.That just _encouraged_ him even more.Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest.\"It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain,\" Bill Johnson _remarked_ proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States.\"Not many can do that.\"
3、第三题
At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black.I gue my dad was a bit of a racist.Unfortunately, no arguments could counter dad\'s beliefs.Despite his _protests_, though, Will and I decided to go through with our wedding.On a marvelous June day we were married in the park.The wedding went off without any _hostile_ words or embarraing exchanges.It was actually quite beautiful.There was just one problem.Many of our friends and relatives didn\'t _attend_ our wedding.I had to _conclude_ that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we knew.Other than my father, no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Will.It did not seem _appropriate_ for them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way.My dad had strong _reservations_ about my marriage to Will, but at least he was there.Will and I decided to _overcome_ this burden by showing everyone how wrong they were.We wanted not only to love one another, but also to _defy_ racial hatred by loving one another.We probably weren\'t being all that __realistic_, but we did succeed with one person.My dad and Will have developed a（n）_amazing_ friendship.My dad says he has forgotten why he ever had any doubts about our marriage.
4、第四题
What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and poibly even _created_? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love seems still to _comforts_ total understanding.We can, however, know something about love and make stronger _connections__ between individuals.
One thing that seems to _affect_ love is distance.The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are _separated_.Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more __intense_.
Something that _nourishes_ love is danger.Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more.This could be caused by the worry it develops.It could also be that feelings of _uncertainty_ or need transform into love with time.
Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also _demands__ selfle devotion and sacrifice.If you are truly _committed__ to finding true love, you should make yourself more interesting.Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.
5、第五题
My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys.He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise.Lately, though, he has _ceased__ to listen to what I say.He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures.The change in his attitude has been very_noticeable_ even to his teachers.
The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he __rebelled_ and stayed out until ten o\'clock.Later I found out that he had _skipped_ school completely that day.I found out that he was with a(n) _bunch__ of boys who often cause trouble.I decided to _forbid_ him to do anything with those boys, but he didn\'t listen to me.In spite of my __objections_ to him being with those boys, he was with them the very next day.
A friend of mine has a son who is having __identical_ problems.She decided to give him a change of scenery and sent him to a private school.I\'m not sure this is the best _solution__, though.You can\'t just change a boy\'s _behavior__ by changing his school every time he does something wrong.It is better to help a kid establish a good set of core values.
6、第六题
My name, Bobby, is used both for boys and girls.Girls spell it \"Bobbie\".It is _characteristic_ for little boys to be given a name with a \"y\" sound at the end.For example, I often had a Jimmy, Johnny or Billy in my claes.In my second grade, I also had a Bobbie.In order not to _confuse_ us when she called our names, our teacher _aigned_ us the names \"Bobbie Girl\" and \"Bobby Boy\".This caused me a lot of trouble on the playground.There, my friends _labeled_ me \"Bobbie Girl\".For my friends, the apparent _contrast_ between my name and my sex was the source of much laughter.The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very _embarraing__ .I had a tendency to __compensate_ for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have otherwise.I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of the other boys added together.The real \"Bobbie Girl\", _conversely_ , acted more like a girl.When my teacher _realized_ she had made a mistake, she stopped calling us \"Bobbie Girl\" and \"Bobby Boy\".Unfortunately, my friends never forgot or _ceased_ calling me \"Bobbie Girl\".Third grade was an improvement; the original \"Bobbie Girl\" was in a different cla.Also, I requested the teacher just call me \"Bob\".
7、第七题
Having a lot of money is usele without a good education.Life isn\'t simply about consumption and having a good time when you\'re not at work.Money will only cause you grief unle you use it for the _welfare_ of the world.That\'s why I believe that a good education is _indispensable_.A formal education with emphasis on history, literature, and culture helps a person learn how to _distinguish_ right from wrong.Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only _render_ skills for performing a task.It doesn\'t teach you how to make important decisions.Employers tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task.Our world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their __performance_.It is _evident_ that far too many people today are focusing on making money and not on improving themselves.What _puzzles__ me is why people should ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money.It is only _rational_ a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits.After all, our _civilization_ simply can\'t be built on the principle of making money alone.
In _summary_, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world around them.This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.

What\'s in a name? Your fate could have been [C.(entirely)] different if you had been given a different name at your birth.Some of us [A.(recognize)] that our name does not necearily fit and start using a different name [B.(rather than)] the one we were given.Many of us [B.(choose to)] use our middle name so we can be true to our parents, and at the same time be more confident.Some people who have changed their name[D.(claim)] that their profeional lives improved.They feel better about themselves so they are [B.(more likely)] to achieve more.But those who have changed their names are not just being overly sensitive.Names themselves [A.(convey)] some information causing others to make judgments based solely[C.(on)] them.Here is an example: A magazine [D.(declined)] to print a writer\'s name simply because the editor thought it suited a baseball player [C.(more than)] an art critic.Another example: A woman at a party became [C.(embarraed)] when she wanted to be introduced to a man she had declined because of his name.One study showed that teachers give different grades to the[B.(identical)] eays written by boys with different names.[A.(Similarly)], girls\' popularity can be related to their names.

It is strange that some people tell us the economy is bad and the job market is changing for the worse, especially for young people.This [C.(puzzles)] me.From my [B.(perspective)], the world has never seen so many [C.(incredible)] opportunities for young people exiting college.

By telling our young people everything has already been done and that there is nothing left to dream about, we are [D.(robbing)]them of the opportunity to create a system that is new and exciting, outside the confines of what is [B.(currently)] imaginable.But then again, maybe I\'m wrong.Maybe I shouldn\'t [A.(worry)] about our youth at all.Their ability to [D.(challenge)] what is before them and defy our unneceary worries is their greatest strength.Maybe by telling them they can\'t, we are [C.(in effect)] encouraging them to create something truly incredible.All in all, the future for the young people is not gloomy; [A.(instead], it is promising. 1.A.tests B.frightensC.puzzles
