五、Cloze test(完形填空)20分
When Dave was eighteen,he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more 1 than by bus.It worked quite well for a few years,but then it got so old,and it was costing him 2 much in repairs that he decided that he had better 3 it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly 4 to buy a cheap car,but they all knew that it was falling to pieces,so 5 of them had any desire to buy it.
Dave"s friend Sam saw that he was 6 when they met one evening,and said,“What"s 7 ,Dave?” Dave told him and Sam answered,“Well,what about advertising it in the paper? You may 8 more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam"s 9 was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper,which read:“For sale:small car, 10 very little petrol,only two owners.Bargain at ￡50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared,there was no 11 .But then on Saturday evening a man rang up and said he would like to 12 him about the car.“All right,” Dave said,feeling happy.He asked the man whether ten o"clock the next morning would be 13 or not.“Fine,” the man said.“And I"ll 14 my wife.We intend to go for a ride in it to 15 it.”
The next morning,at ten quarter,Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, 16 to wait there for the person who had 17 his advertisement.Even Dave had to 18 that the car really looked like a wreck.Then soon after he had got the car as 19 as it could be,a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out.He looked at Dave"s car and then said,“Have you reported this 20 to us yet,sir?”

" I feel guilty about this serious mistake. At that moment, I was very excited with my girlfriend, and I didn"t think too much," Mr. Jiang, 28, said Tuesday in his first interview since causing the six-hour shutdown at the airport.
On Tuesday, Newark Municipal Court judged that besides the community service, he must pay a $500 fine (罚金) and $158 in court fees. In an agreement between the court and Mr. Jiang"s lawyer, Mr. Jiang will pay off his money punishment all by community service instead.
Haisong Jiang, a native of China, about a year ago moved to the United States in 2004 to study and met his girlfriend, also Chinese and 26. She has since moved to California.
The lovebirds did the town over the Christmas holidays: shopping in SoHo, visiting the tree at Rockefeller Center, celebrating New Year"s Eve in Times Square - the works. On Jan. 3, he watched her pass through security, but he wanted to spend more time with her. When he noticed the officer leave his post, he saw his chance, he said. He slipped under the rope and kissed her and, arm in arm, walked her to her Continental Airlines gate and saw her onto the jetway. "And immediately I left," he said.
Three days passed. "Friday, the police found me," the future scientist said. He was at the gym when his roommate called to say two police officers were at their home. "It"s not right to enter the airport. Immediately I know the police want to ask me this thing."
He expects to serve half of
his community service in a soup kitchen - "I like to cook" - and the other half in a hospital. He plans on moving to California to be with her and work in a laboratory after completing his degree in May or June.He never types his name into search engines on the Net: the number of hits is shocking.
What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A moving love story B. An escape fr
om security checkC. A kiss causing great trouble D. When a man loves a woman
How much did Mr. Jiang finally pay for his mistake?
A. nothing B. $ 500 C. $158 D. $ 658
Which of the following sentences is true?
A. Mr. Jiang was sent to the police station right after he went out of the airport.
B. The lovebirds spent their Christmas holidays in California.
C. Mr. Jiang caused so much troubl
e on purpose.D. On Friday, the police didn’t find Mr. Jiang at his home at first.
What can you infer from the passage?

One day the 10-year-old was 33 talking in the class and ordered to stay back as 34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.
Now the school in which Mini 36 had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only 40 Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship"s sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best"”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can"t," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can"t seem to get into any decent （体面的）school." And she spent a good 41 of time telling Mini of her brother"s problems.
"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball（运球） in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I 43 you"d told me earlier. I have to go to a relative"s house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and 44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was beginning to 45 if even one of her friends would 46 to stay. But she tried again. Three 47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn"t take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after school Mini stayed back to help the 48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she 49 surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt.

China’s emergence has made it “hugely important” for American students to be fluent in Mandarin according to Margaret Spellings, US education secretary.
Spellings made the remark after she signed a new memorandum of understanding with China’s ministry of education late last week to expand language and academic exchanges.
“It’s in their［US students’］ interest to come and learn from and about China and the Chinese people.” she said. “You can buy in any language but you have to sell in the language of the buyer.”
Research supported by the US state department has found the number of Americans studying in China jumped 35 percent in 2004—05 over the previous university year. Spellings said her agency would work to continue the trend.
According to the Chinese ministry，10, 340 Americans studied in China last year, a smaller cohort than the 54, 080 from South Korea or 18, 870 from Japan.
The Bush administration plans to spend $114m in 2007 to fund its national security language initiative, which aims to increase drastically the number of Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi and Farsi speakers in the US.
The US state department estimates that 200, 000 Americans study abroad each year, a significantly smaller group than the 550, 000 students from around the world who go to the states for an education.
Of those studying in the US, 62, 580, or roughly 11 percent of the total，came from Chinese mainland this past school year. China is second only to India, which sent 76, 500 students to the US, as a source of students for US schools．
Spellings said that the Bush administration was now working to make visa application procedures “easier and more transparent” to encourage international students.
59. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. China’s emergence B. A research from the US
C. Learning Mandarin D. US attaches importance to Mandarin speakers
60. The underlined words “her agency” in the fourth paragraph refer to ____.
A. her personal agency B. the US Department of Education
C. the US state department D. the Bush administration
61. Which country did the largest number of students who studied in China last year come from according to the passage?
A. India. B. South Korea. C. Japan. D. The US.
62. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is China’s emergence that has made it important for American students to learn Chinese.
B. The US is taking measures to encourage more international students.
C. The national security language initiative in the US aims to increase the number of international students from China, Arabian countries, Russia and so on.
D. The number of American students studying abroad is much smaller than that of students from around the world studying in the States every year.
