A) fortunately

B) effective

C) images

D) articulate

E) facial

F) manage

G) decisions

H) connect

I) advanced

J) integrate

K) progressive

L) concepts

M)pictures

N) increasingly

O) important

【答案】

1.选C）。空格中要填的是名词，从后面的...can be captured and transmitted可以选出选项中images和pictures，pictures指“画面，图片”，一般指静态的情景；而文中的意思表达的是实时的电视会议，画面应该是动态的，images可以表示动态的形象，画面，故C）images正确。

2.选I）。这里应填形容词，修饰the technology.选项中的advanced，progressive，important

可以用来修饰the technology，注释1说明了the technology中包含了很多行业术语，是很深奥的，排除important；而progressive“上进的，进步的”，强调寻求更好的，advanced“领先的，有高深的，并非人人都能接受的含义”，根据上下文I）advanced更符合题意。

3.选L）。首先判断这里应填名词，再根据注释2种“用于解释视频会议工作原理的……”，原文中有explain“解释，说明”可以退出，选项中的名词中concepts最符合题意。故选L）。

4.选O）。此处应填形容词。这个分句后面说交流越多，你越可能成为正确的那一个，说明交流很重要，与本土的视频会议——一种交流的工具主题一致，这里应该填important.

5.选G）。由空格后的ones可知，这里应填名词的复数形式。前面提到the more interaction…, the more likely…be the right ones“得到的交互信息越多，你的……就更有可能正确的”。人们通过电视会议谈判协商，了解得信息越多，自己的判断，决策才会更正确。故这里应填G）decisions.concepts“概念”是打扰项，这里和概念无关。

6.选E）。此处应填形容词。由上文Videoconferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations“视频会议不仅可以让你与不同地方的人说话”，...expressions and gestures that let you know what the other person is really thinking.“……表情和姿态，从而让你知道他们的真实想法”，很明显修饰expressions的应该是facial，意思是“面部表情”。

7.选B）。此处要填形容词，与more构成形容词比较级结构。从后文by sharing documents and computer application“通过共享文档和计算机应用，会议能更加……”，这里电话会议的优势，也是其目的，即提高效率，故这里应填B）effective.K）progressive“进步的”并不是电话会议要达到的目的，故排除。

8.选F）。此处应填动词原形。选项中的动词原形有articulate，manage，integrate，connect，由原文可知，电视会议可以“共享文档和应用计算机”，而电话是不能做到的，以推断这里填的词表示“做到，实现”的词，故只有manage“设法，达成”符合文意。

9.选N）。可以推断此处应填副词，选项中有fortunately和increasingly两个副词，本文全文都在说随着技术的发达，电视电话会议越来越受欢迎，所以应该是increasingly而不是fortunately“幸运地”。

10.选J）。此处应填动词原型，宾语是各种重要的会议工具。选项中还有articulate，integrate 和connect三个位动词原形。其中aiticulate作“接合”意思讲的时候指的是单独的事物由关节连接，connect“连接”表示将分离的东西连接在一起，而integrate强调的是各种事物结合，形成一个整体。integrate正确，故选J）。

Nowadays, is it possible to tell a person's class just by looking at him? Physical details __1__ tell us about health, diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago the working class very often lookd unhealthy, small and were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often __2__, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such __3__ would no longer be so true.The clothes people

choose to wear, however, do provide information about their __4__. The most obvious way in which is for the amount of money spent on them. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer had money. Clothes can provide other __5__ as well. The upper classes __6__ to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made material. A sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are mssing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is __7__.Clothes are __8__ at a price within most people's reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good, and show some __9__ of wealth to the outside world. Today some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look __10__ and feel important. They want people to look at them.

A) available

B) background

C) different

D) tall

E) totally

F) taken

G) descriptions

H) degree

I) clues

J) alone

K) appear

L) consider

M) full

N) hobby

O)fetched

【答案】

1.选J）。此处应填副词。可选项有totally和alone，由前一句中just可推出，外表上的细节仅仅能告诉我们这个人的健康状况，平时的营养状况以及他所从事的工作而不能看出他所处的阶级，故排除totally而选alone“惟一”。

2.选D）。此处应填形容词。因此此句和前一句是在将以前的工人阶级和上层阶级的身体状况进行对比，故此处应填与small“矮的”意思相反的词，选项中只有tall符合题意。而full“丰满的”不能用来修饰sporting types，故排除。

3.选G）。此处应填名词。现在的生活和工作条件改善了，情况已经不同了。而such指代的是上文中对一百年以前工人阶级和上层阶级的身体状况的身体状况的描述，故descriptions“描述”符合题意。

4.选B）。此处应填名词。根据句意“衣服可以提供……方面的信息”，选项中有background和hobby，选background“人的背景，社会阶层”，符合文章主题。

5.选I）。由as well可知，此处应填名词且与本段首句中的informaiton的意思相近，选项中只有clues“线索”符合题意。

6.选K）。此处应填动词的原形。选项中有appear和consider，appear可直接接不定式；而consider 带不定式的复合结构，用于主动语态时，consider后面得接宾语，故选appear.

7选F）。这句中this指代bright colour，句子主干是any opportunity is…。可选项有taken

和fetched，take“抓住”则可以与opportunity搭配，但fetch“拿来”不能与opportunity构成动宾搭配，故排除fetched而选taken.

8.选A）。此处应填形容词。句子意思是“衣服的价钱……，大多数人都买得起。”选项中只有available “可以接受的”符合题意。

9.选H）。此处应填名词。由a price within most people's reach可推出，此处新衣服向外界显示的是穿衣者的富裕程度，故选择degree“程度”。

10.选C）。此处应填形容词。由new fashions和feel important可推出工人阶级想通过穿衣来改变他们，而选项中只有different“与众不同的”符合此意，故选择C）。

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said __1__ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and __2__ that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deePwisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is __3__, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and __4__ is expressed.I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No __5__ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t helPyou."After some hesitation, the man __6__ that, as executor of his faher’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his __7__. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking __8__ and enclosing a cheque as the first stePin restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. "Thank you," He said, "I think I’m __9__." And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only __10__ a damaged relationshiPbut also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.

A)heal

B)mental

C)unkind

D)regret

E)accurately

F)confessed

G)inheritance

H)physical

I)cured

J)treat

K)truly

L)unfaithful

M)forgiveness

N)disturbed

O)excuse

【答案】

1.选C）。此处应填形容词。从后面的pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend可知，说的是不好的话，可选项有unkind和unfaithful，但由前面的judged roughly“粗鲁的评判”可知这里表示说话时不考虑他人的感受，因此unkind“刻薄的”更加符合上下文语气。

2.选K）。由clearly and一词可知，此处应填副词，与closely一起修饰道歉时的情形。选项有accurately和truly，由“回想一下你曾明确地并……地表示自己歉意的场合”，能使句意通顺的是truly “真诚地”，而accurately一般表示“（数据计算得）精确地”，故排除。

3.选N）。it stays out of balance until…，其中it=some mysterious moral feeling可推出，出于道义上的原因，人会感到不安，故选disturbed“不安的”。而confessed“公开承认的”不符合句意。

4.选D）。此处应填名词。从“知道承认错误，表达……之后，才能觉得安心，”选项中只有regret “歉意”符合题意。

5.选H）。此处应填形容词。由headaches，insomnia（失眠）and stomach trouble可推出，可选项有mental和physical，由朋友的话"Unless…Worrying you, I can't helPyou."可知这个人是由于心理上的原因，而不是生理上的，故选physical即No physical cause…。

6.选F）。此处应填动词。选项中的动词有confessed，cured和disturbed，但由After some hesitation 可推出，此人是在向医生坦白情况，故选择confessed“坦白”。

7.选G）。此处应填名词。由as executor of his father's will可推知，此处说明的是，在遗产继承方面，他一直在欺骗他居住在国外的兄弟，故只有选项inheritance符合题意。

8.选M）。此处应填名词。由restoring their good relation可推知，他是写信给他兄弟请求原谅，故选项中只有forgiveness符合题意。选项中excuse用作名词时，一般解释为“理由，借口”而没有“原谅”的意思，故排除。

9.选I）。由第二段最后一句waht's worrying you和这个人的感情Thank you可推出，此处说明的是医生治好了他的心病，选项中只有cured符合题意。

10.选A）。此处应填动词的圆形。But also make it stronger“使人际关系更加稳固”，it指代a damaged relationship，由此可知，空格处应填表示“修复”的词，选项中的heal则有“治愈，修复”的意思，符合原文意思。treat一般专指医学上的治疗，用在此处不合适。

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always __1__ such people, but I also explain that there'sa big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of __2__ and fame, notthe long hours alone at a typewriter.

D) doubt

E) lonely

F) poverty

G) persuade

H) prospects

I) uncertainty

J)impossibly

K) encourage

L)awarded

M) alone

N)wealth

O)cold

【答案】

1.选K）。此处应填动词的原形。可选项有doubt，persuade，encourage，但由always推知，作者是在鼓励那些想要成为作家的人，而不是怀疑也不是说服，故排除doubt和persuade而选encourage.

2.选N）。由空格后的fame可知，此处应填名词。可选项有prospects和wealth，但由dreaming of 与第二段中The reality is…poor-paying可推知，那些想当作家的人梦想的是金钱和名誉，而不是前途，故排除prospects而选wealth.

3.选E）。此处应填形容词，private，poor-paying一起修饰affair.选项中有lonely和alone，能修饰affair的只有lonely，alone表示“孤独的”时，通常作表语，故排除alone而选lonely.

4.选C）。此处应填动词的被动形式。可选项有rewarded和awarded，前者可表示“（为所希望的举动得到的）回报”，后者作动词时表示“颁发，授予”，故只有rewarded符合题意而排除awarded.

5.选H）。此处应填名词。“当我辞别了我在美国海岸警卫队20年工作成为一个自由撰稿人时，没有任何……可言”，可选项有prospects和wealth，但wealth一般指抽象意义上的“金钱”，因此排除wealth而选prospects“前途”。

6.选O）。it指代的是apartment building，从had no bathroom可知这个公寓条件很差，选项中只有cold能说明公寓的条件差，故选择O）cold.

7.选B）。“我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己就好像是一个……的作家”，由前面提到的to become a freelance writer可推知，此处作者是想成为一个真正的作家，故选项中只有genuine“真正的”符合题意。

8.选D）。由空格前的to可知，此处应填动词的原形。可选项有doubt，persuade，encourage，但由still hadn't gotten a break“在写作上还没有任何进展”，所以此处应理解为他开始怀疑自己的选择是否正确，故doubt符合文意。

9.选A）。that从句结构完整，后面有made，故此处应填副词。可选项有barely和impossibly，因that引导的从句是对story的解释，再由hard一词可推知，此处应填的副词应表达肯定的意思，故排除impossibly而选barely“仅仅，刚刚”。

10.选I）。由空格后的and可知，此处应填名词。由fear of failure可知，所填词应表示不好的境遇，可选项有poverty和uncertainty；又由fear可推知，此处强调的是生活的变化无常，而不是生活的贫困，故选uncertainty.
