Grammar and vocabularyII. Grammar and Vocabulary Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fil
13、l in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a su
14、rprise test. After hearing that, all students _21_ (seat) and waited for the test to begin. The professor gave the test papers to all students with the text_22_ (face) down at the desk. Once he handed out the test papers to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.Students were c
15、onfused to see there was not a question _23_just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students face expression and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”The students were even _24_ (confused) but started the test by then. At the end of the class,. the
16、professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot, _25_ position they tried to explain. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent.The professor explained, “Dont worry. I am not going to give you
17、 grades but I just want you to think about something. Here _26_ focused on the black dot but no one wrote about the white paper, and the same is with our lives. The white paper represents our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life. _27_ our life is a gift given to us by God, w
18、ith love and care, we have every reason to celebrate. Still we just focus on problems like health issues, problems in relationships etc., but we never see these problems are very small compared with_28_ we have in our lives.”So there is the moral lesson: we _29_ try to take eyes off our problems and
19、 enjoy each moment that life _30_ (give) us. Be happy and live the life positively.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.

20、s F. victimG. closed H. substituting I .boosts J.visible K.seeminglyHave you ever watched a television show or a movie and felt like you were watching a really long commercial? If so, then youve fallen _31_to bad product placement (产 植入）.Clever marketing folks want their products to be _32_ within a
21、 scene, but not the focus. When done correctly, product placement can add a sense of realism to a movie or television show.Product placement _33_ from as early as 1950s when a drinks company paid to have a character in the movie The African Queen toss loads of their product overboard. Since then, th
22、ere have been countless placements in thousands of movies.Sometimes product placement just happens. A set dresser (布景人员）might think of something that _34 the level of credibility or realism of the story. One example is the use of a can of ant killer in a violent fight scene in the popular television
23、 programme The Sopranos. A spokeswoman for the manufacturer said if the company had not been 35 about the use of their product, they would not have given it a thumbs-up.Arranged product placement deals are more prevailing. The most common type is a simple exchange of the product for the placement. A
24、 deal is made; in exchange for the airtime, the cast and crew are provided with a(n)_36_supply of the companys products.Sometimes, a gift of the product isnt an appropriate form of compensation, and then the deal, _37_with money, works well. Someone from a manufacturers marketing team hears about a
25、movie project, and approaches the set dresser with a(n) _38_ attractive proposal. They come to an agreement, and the product makes a number of 39 casual appearances. Both teams are happy.Before product placement really saw a rapid growth in the mid-1980s, it was pretty much a do-it-yourself _40_. No
26、w there are entire agencies that can handle the job. Some larger corporations will dedicate personnel to seek out opportunities for placement within films, television shows even games and music.III. Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four wor
27、ds or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Traditionally uniforms were manufactured to protect the worker. When they were first designed, it is also likely that all uniforms made symbolic sense those for the military, for example, were o
28、riginally_41_to impress and even terrify the enemy; other uniforms indicated a distinction in _42_ chefs wore white because they worked with flour, but the main chef wore a black hat to show he inspected and supervised.The last 30 years, however, have seen an increasing_43_ on their role in mirrorin
29、g the image of an organization and in uniting the workforce, particularly in “customer facing” industries. From uniforms and workwear has emerged “_44_ clothing”. “The people you employ are your ambassadors (大使） ， says Peter Griffin, managing director of a major retailer in the UK. “What they say, h
30、ow they look, and how they behave is of vital importance.” From being a simple means of _45_ who is a member of staff, the uniform is emerging as a new channel of marketing communication.Truly effective marketing through_46_ images such as uniforms is a subtle art, however. How we look sends all sor
31、ts of powerful messages to other people. Dark colors give a sense of _47_ while lighter color shades suggest approachability. Certain dress style creates a sense of conservatism (守旧） ，while others a sense of_48_ to new ideas. If the company is selling quality, then it must have quality uniforms. If
32、it is selling style, its uniforms must be stylish. If it wants to appear _49_, everybody cant look exactly the same.But turning corporate philosophies into the right combination of color, style, degree of branding and uniformity is not always _50_. According to Company Clothing magazine, there are 1
33、000 companies supplying the workwear and corporate clothing market. Of these, 22 _51_for 85% of total sales 一 380 million in 1994.A successful uniform needs to_52_two key sets of needs. On the one hand, no uniform will work if staff feel uncomfortable or ugly. On the other hand, it is _53_ if the lo
34、ok doesnt express the businesss marketing strategy. The greatest challenge in this respect is time. When it comes to human awareness, first impressions count. Customers will assess the way staff look in just a few seconds, and that few seconds will_54_ their attitudes from then on. Those few seconds

38、three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)St Kilda is a tiny archipelago (群岛）of the North
39、Atlantic Ocean. The islands are among the most spectacular, but the greatest fascination is that, for over a thousand years, people lived there and possessed a sense of community. Cut off from the mainland, the islanders had a distinct way of living their lives, mainly eating the seabirds that retur
40、ned to breed on the rocks.Isolation also had a big effect upon St kildans attitudes and ideas. The people sacrificed themselves year in and year out, in a constant battle to secure a livelihood. In such harsh conditions, life was only possible because the whole community worked together.In the 19th
41、century St Kilda was subject to pressures from the outside world. Education, religion and tourism all attempted to throw the St Kildans5 way of life into doubt. In the early 20th century, the strength of the community became weakened as contact with the rest of Britain increased. When disease cut th
42、eir numbers, and wind and sea made it difficult to get adequate food, the St Kildans were forced to turn to the mainland for assistance.In 1930, the St Kildans finally agreed to abandon their homes. They settled on the Scottish mainland, not realizing it meant throwing themselves into the 20th centu
43、ry. As adults, they had to accept those values most Scots believe in. For instance, the islanders found it difficult to base their existence upon money. They had never lived in a world where they bought goods and services from each other.The islanders showed themselves indifferent to the jobs they w
44、ere given on the mainland. The labours asked of them were unskilled compared with the spectacular skills they had once performed in order to kill seabirds. Moreover, killing birds had once provided the community with food to survive. On the mainland, however, the tasks they were asked to perform did
45、 not provide them immediately with what was needed to keep them fed and warm.The history of the St Kildans after the evacuation (撤离） ，of their inability and lack of resolution to fit into urban society, makes sad reading. When they were resettled on the mainland, the St Kildans were forced to live i
46、n a society whose values were unacceptable and incomprehensible to the majority of them. For many, the move was a tragedy. 56. According to Paragraph 3, the following factors lead to St kildans seeking help from outside EXCEPT_.A. unbearable wind B. insufficient food supplyC. contact with Britain D.
47、 worsening health57. After the St Kildans inhabited Scotland, they .A. soon learned how to buy goods and services from othersB. had trouble adapting to the value of dominant society.C. exhibited willingness to carry out their given jobs.D. had the opportunity to show their skills of killing seabirds
48、.58. Which of the following is NOT about how people used to live on St Kilda?A. The major source of food was found locally.B. It was essential for people to help each other.C. Very few people had visited mainland Scotland.D. Money played an insignificant role in life.59. What is the passage mainly c
49、oncerned with?A. The role of money in modem communities.B. How a community adapted to a different form of life.C. The destruction of an old-fashioned community.D. How a small community fight against opposite conditions.(B)The following safety risks may result in serious injury or death to the user of the MINI Cooper S: This product co
