【2012上海卷】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.
People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another 50 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his 51 ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to 52 aid if his face was
spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 53 these and other research findings, two themes are 54 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think 55 assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. 56 , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be 57 , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very 58 person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to 59 the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of 60 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) 61 T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone. 62 to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for 63 than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be 64 rather than drunk.

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining(留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, ___50__, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often __51___ the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business ---___52___ that the customer remains a customer.
___53__ to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing __54___ , this is not surprising.

The logic behind cultivating customer ___60___ is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to __61__ them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. __62__ customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price __63__ , and may provide free word-of –mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it __64__ for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.

Passage 2

I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it
44 !"I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program

Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .

36.B考察连词及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面encouraging 和 inspiring是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A表并列,C表结果,D表原因,只有B选项yet表转折。
37.A 考察名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选观点opinion这个词. 第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图均不符合题意。
38.C 考察动词及篇章理解。根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握handle 的两种意思,名词是“柄、把”,动词是“处理”,这里考察后者。A, 做、创造 B 保持 D改变 均不符题意。
39.D 考察代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。 know nothing about sth 对某事一无所知。
40.A 考察名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的 ”respond 回答、响应”, 线索是第二段第一句中的 “ask 提问”及第四句中的“answer 回答”, 因此这里填 “question 问题”这个词。BD选项是评论,C是解释,不符题意。
41.D 考察动词及篇章理解。本句的them指代opinions 。form opinion形成观点 。hold opinion持有某种观点,form 是个变化的状态,hold是个持续的状态,根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点,由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点,强调形成这个过程,另外Begin to后接有变化感的词,故选form不选hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate评估与题意差别较大。
42.C 考察形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more ” 作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果,说明我是个可信赖(reliable)的人,C选项符合题意。其他三个选项happy 高兴的 lively活泼的和 punctual 准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的lively通常用来形容物。
43. B考察名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话,而且前面“that year”也是线索,说明这话是她的motto座右铭。迷惑性较大的C选项saying是谚语的意思,往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结,强调群体性及时间性,故不合适,message 信息,suggestion 建议,不合题意。
44.D 考察副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大,解题关键词是介词“over”,表覆盖。选择later 可以理解为“如果没有画好,稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more更多, Instead 代替, 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与over意思重复,paint over it later相当于 paint it again, 故不选A。
45.D 考察名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配,冒险。通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信,第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”
,因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险,是自我突破的过程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险,因此选D。take steps是采取措施、步骤的意思,与文章主题不搭,control 和 charge 都有控制的意思,不合题意。
46.A 考察动词及句子理解。Improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧,我们永远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败,只存在改进。Act upon按照、对…起作用,look upon 看待、考虑,reflect upon 考虑、回顾,均不符题意。
47.C 考察副词及篇章理解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程,根据前文提示作者曾很不自信,后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔,因此选confidently. A easily 容易的。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。D Proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。
48.B 考察动词。Be recognized as“被公认为、被承认”。 Introduce 介绍、引入,be identified as“ 被确定是”,有验证身份的意思,be considered as “被认为、被当作”。其中 be recognize as 有“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思,表意更准确。
49.C 考察动词。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized. 迷惑项是decided 决定。可以说决定要什么,但不可以说决定想什么,因为想法是不可控制的。Confirm 证实 acknowledge 承认,与题意差别较大。
50.A 考察介词。Being with sb 与某人在一起。这里不能选of是因为全文第一句话,Mrs. Neidl是“ one of the directors”,所以不能说是她的团队。Below 和 by 搭配错误。
51.B 考察动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界,选discovered. 迷惑项是developed , 这个词可以与interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好,但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界,”故排除。Take interest 取利,foster 培养,均不合适。
52.B 考察动词及篇章理解。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”,care 在乎,符合文意。Accept 接受,judge 判断 ,wonder 怀疑 均不合文意。
53.D 考察形容词及句意理解。Be afraid害怕。前面说Take chance 冒险,后面理所当然说不要怕(失败),而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词,是全篇的关键词。Bored 无聊的,lazy 懒惰的,sad 伤心的,在文中均无体现。
54.A 考察名词及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任,并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词,因此推断出答案。Patience 耐心,curiosity好奇心,interest兴趣,文中均无体现。
55.C考察形容词及篇章理解。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”, “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 认为不可能的,贴合文意。Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的 favorable 有利的赞同的 均不合文意。

25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling.There were many ways to prevent this from happening:hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his

People think children should play sports.Sports are fun,and children keep healthy while playing with others.However,playing sports can have 50
effects on children.It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children.According to research on kids and sports,40,000,000 kids play sports in the US.Of these,18,000,000 say they have been 51 at or called names while playing sports.This leaves many children with a bad 52 of sports.They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults,especially parents and coaches,are the main
53 of too much aggression in children’s sports.They believe children 54
aggressive adult behavior.This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback.Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them.Often these adults behave aggressively themselves,sending children the message that 55 is everything.Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout 56 at other players or cheer when their child behaves 57 .As well,children are even taught that hurting other players is 58 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 59 ,the media makes violence seem exciting.Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society,we really need to 60 this problem and do something about it.Parents and coaches 61 should act as better examples for children.They also need to teach children better 62 .They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively.They should teach children to 63 themselves whether they win or not.Besides,children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured.If adults allow children to play when injured,this gives the message that
64 is not as important as winning.

The position of children in American family and society is no longer what it used to be.The 36 family in colonial(殖民时期的)North America was mainly concerned with survival and 37 that,its own economic prosperity.Thus,children were 38 in terms of their producitivity(生产能力),and they played the role of producer quite early. 39 they fulfilled this role,their position in the family was one of subordination(附属).
With the 40 of the society,the position of children in the family and in the society became more important.In the complex and technological society 41 the United States has become,each 42 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 43 and be in contact with many other members. 44 ,viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 45 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination.This acceptance of children as 46 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 47 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.
This new 48 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 49 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques.People today spend much time 50 the proper way to 51 children.
Nowadays,the socialization of the child in the United States is a 52
transaction(事务)between parent and child 53 a one-way,parent-to-child training

Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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.
(A)
Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 55 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 56 away. A mother who has not 57 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “ Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: 58 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 59 of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 60 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 61 .
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 62 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 63 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get
by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning; 64 , is usually a good investment toward the future.

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and
reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is
no 21 for stillness.
And when we are 22 to be still because we're in line for something, or waiting at a
doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 23 something to do. Some will play with
mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn't something we're 24 .
This comes at a 25 : we lose that time for 26 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And 27 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run
around crazily, but get 28 done.
Take a moment to think about 29 you spend your days.Are you constantly rushing
around? Are you constantly reading and answering 30 , checking on the news and the latest
stream of information? Are you always 31 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your 32 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to
be 33 . Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done
already.___34____be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you'd 35 it to be.
See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more
consideration; more 36 . Then be that vision.
It's pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day 37 you've gotten
used to that, try doing less each day Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 38 . Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 39 for it.
40 the stillness. It's a treasure,and it's available to us, always.

Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify 36 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 37 of that parent. The things parents do and say---and the 38 they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's 39 . However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 40 they want their child to become.
A parent's actions 41 affect the self-image that a child forms 42 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 43 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.

But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 52 a sign of rejection or punishment.
In the same way, all children are not influenced 53 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 54 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 55 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n) 1 of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing 2 , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the 3 qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to 4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the 6 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving 7 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will 9 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong 10 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 11 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 12 . The other person can 13 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 14 .

We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education.Our 21 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 22 everything to their kindness and love.
When we 23 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 24 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 25 our own love and gratitude to them. 26, elders have also been through all the years you are 27 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 28 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new.All younger generations have always 29 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 30 .However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 31.
With changing times and 32 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders.Youngsters should 33 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 34 their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 35 their places, and sit on the carpet.In buses and trains, youngsters are 36 to give up their places to older people.This is not a 37 of who has more rights.It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 38_, or
tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 39 disadvantage.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between __50__ countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I __51__ and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.__52__, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for __53__ it.From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete __54__.And of course.the teens see it in exactly the same way, except __55__.Both feel trapped
In this article.I’ll describe three no-win __56__ that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the __57__.The first no-win situation is quarrels over __58__ things.Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s __59__ to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second, blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the __60__ is –politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg –the __61__
of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong.for both wish to be considered a/an __62__—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command __63__.Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they __64__ more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress

"Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door."

I picked up one and followed him to the 31 .

"Put it on my dad's account."
He nodded and smiled, " Good dad's account." He chuckled." I don't know what you boys would do 33 dad's account!"
He handed me the ticket and as I 34 it I asked, "You really trust my signature?"
His reply surprised, 35 delighted me."When I can't trust Jerry Hoover's boys I can trust nobody!"
We left, and the brain 36 started to forget things, in order of importance.But what Andy said that day rang in my ears.And it rings in my ears today.That's a tall order to live up to.It's a high standard of 37 .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to 38 the benefits.But on account of this, I 39 maintain that fame.And that's 40 business.

Shortly after 45 in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another baby were mistakenly switched and sent home with the 46 parents.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m 36 .” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things off !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 37 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for years—often from 39 childhood. These stories may have no basis in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will 40 have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be around 43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I
wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 54 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose.

something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 39 .
This comes at a 40 : we lose that time for 41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

Then be that vision.
It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 52 you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53 . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54 for it.

Passage 5
(湖南省长沙市一中2010届高三第九次月考)
A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 meters. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and 36 them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 meters away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet colored socks. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding 37 straight line. Researchers found that people 38 the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of the winding differed from subject to subject. This suggests that 39 of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs. 40 we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we will have changed the direction.
41 helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk.After turning around a lot with your eyes closed, you can hardly stand still, 42 walk straight. It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ears there is a structure which contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid 43 . When you spin, the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you 44 , the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness is the 45 of these nerves in your inner ears. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will 46 your ears more, thus you walk in a 47 line.

Passage 1
(山西省康杰中学2009届高三6月模拟)
My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I _36_ to some degree, though I sometimes do want to _37_ them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his _38_ and how much they know about football apart from _39_ goals. It seems funny that we are _40_ for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are _41_, but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s _42_ .
We need these pleasures to _43_ our lives. But that doesn't _44_ to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We _45_ not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good _46_ and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say _47_ about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep _48_, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a _49_ meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with _50_ things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first _51_ has blinded and misled (误导) us, and we’ll remain ignorant _52_ we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a _53_ of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it _54_ us, we will finally prove how much we have _55_ up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.

Passage 2
(陕西省师大附中2009届高三第四次模拟考试)
When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very __2 1__. Some stories are told __22__ they were true. Real people who live in a __23__ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not __24__ . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be __25__ for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only __26__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we __27__ seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than __28__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of __ 29__. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __30__--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) __ 31__ the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read __32__ realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __33__ that we are real and they are __34__. It sounds __35__ , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and __36__ about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by __37__ that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our __38__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose __39__ in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel __40__ we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

Passage 4
(浙江省宁海县知恩中学2009届高三最后适应性考试)
Of all man’s natural enemies, the one that has caused him more trouble than any other must be the common rat. For centuries, man has been 21 to solve the problem of rats. The ancient Egyptians were probably the first people to try to 22 them with poison, and this method is still being used today. This says a great deal about how 23 this method has been. We have set innumerable 24 , from simple wires to 25 machines that drowned the rats in beer! We have tried to inflect them with 26 developed germs. We’ve 27 tried to raise super cats to kill them. However, we are still losing the 28 .
So why can’t man manage to 29 a mere animal like the rat? The answer is simply that the rat isn’t a mere animal; It is a very special kind of animal. An average rat 30 : wriggle through a hole no 31 than a $1 coin; climb a brick wall as if it were climbing steps; happily leave a building by being flushed down the toilet, and then return the same 32 ; jump from a fifth storey window and run away 33 ; and last but certainly not least , 34 so rapidly that a single pair could have 15,000 babies in one year!
35 all these phyical qualities, we also have the 36 that rats are rather good at not getting caught. They seem to have an almost supernatural ability to 37 when food has been poisoned and a suspicious rat will starve 38 it eats poisoned food. They also seem to be able to 39 a trap with no real difficulty.

(宁夏银川一中2008届高三第三次模拟考试)
We are always hearing about road accidents, and when we are in the car we try to drive carefully. But, how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? A large 36 will tell you the number of accidents that happened in the home is almost the same as those on the 37 . I don’t pretend to be 38 , but I’ve thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to 39 them.
One of the most common and most dangerous 40 at home accidents is wrong and careless use 41 electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or 42 out a plug without first turning off the 43 . In spite of
warning, one 44 carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a 45 . Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power 46 mending a lamp or something 47 . All this can cause accidents. So the 48 about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you 49 anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually 50.
If you’ve got 51 in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their 52 . otherwise, they may be taken for candies or new kinds of drinks. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular 53 in a number of ways in order to make them 54 and happy.
55 , of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.
Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.

(江苏省苏州市2007届高三第四次模拟考试)
Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast. __36__ one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.
Some athletes can reach great __37__ such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their __38__. What kind of __39__ before a race or another event makes the __40__?
Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their __41__. But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as __42__. Careful study indicates(表明)that the best athletes win __43__ because they think they can win.
Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for __44__ in sports. People who say to themselves over and over. “I know I can do this, ” often find they have the __45__to win. On the other hand, people often__46__, who think, “I can’t win.”
One procedure that helps many athletes is creating __47__ in the mind. They are told to think of each __48__ they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to __49__ a star bursting inside her, __50__ her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel __51__ pictured himself as a __52__ floating in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your __53__ to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see __54__ in what you __55__ can do. Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win!

I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 36 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 37 , my mother is telling me , “Don’t watch the 38 when you say, ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look at the person in the 39 , so he’ll know you 40 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 41 apology: it must be direct. You must never 42 to be doing something else. You do not 43 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 44 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 45 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 46 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 47 .
One of the important things we should do for an 48 , apology is a readiness to 49 the responsibility for our careless mistakes .We are used to making excuses ,which leaves no 50 for the other person to 51 us .Since most people are open-hearted ,the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 52 about themselves .That ,after all ,is the 53 of every apology .It 54 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly a fault :answering for one’s 55 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck 40 he delivered the bread to the
stores. The 41 and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would 42 all my games. One night before an important game my father told me 43 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 44 from his route(路线). The next day as the game time approached I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 45 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He managed to 46 the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I had become a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been 47 in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart 48 in my ears. I 49 the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really 50 to me. I still taught in school 51 I couldn’t focus on my teaching. One day I was on the playground
52 a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two 53 . At that moment I found my 54 in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those 55 as he did. From that day On I started.
