第三部分 Cloze 10题共10分 出自1,2,4,5,6 单元其中一篇。 Unit 1

Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature. Nature provides us with everything we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.

For quite a long time after man began to live in the (1)realmof nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces. He used to regard nature with its (2)elementalforces as something hostile to him. And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him. Very often, he was unable to (3)obtain the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others (4)stubbornly and collectively with his imperfect tools. Through his interaction with nature, man changed it gradually. He cut down forest, cultivated land, (5)transferredvarious species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and (6)transformed plants and animals. He (7)subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.

Nonetheless, with the constant (8)expansion of agriculture and industry, man has robbed nature too much of its (9)irreplaceable resources, polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years to become (10)extinct and still many others to be endangered. The previous (11)dynamic balance between man and nature is on the (12)verge of breaking down. Man is now faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to (13)moderate the destructive effect of technology on nature.

The crisis of the (14)ecologicalsituation has become a global problem. The solution to the problem depends on (15)rational and wise organization both of production itself and care for Mother Nature. This can only be done by all humanity, rather than by individuals, enterprises or separate countries.

Unit 2

Technology is a \issue nowadays. The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the

12..

2014-2015学年第二学期 大学英语4 期末考试复习范围

opponents (1)emphasizeits disadvantages. Neither side has ever taken the time to look at the (2)oppositepoint of view.

The defenders of technology hold that with technology, people's living conditions have been greatly (3)improvedFor example, the boom in productivity has made goods better and cheaper. Therefore, things that were once (4)luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, have become necessities. Medical technology, in particular, has (5)benefitedus a lot, especially in prolonging life expectancy. On the other hand, the opponents of technology argue that technology makes life (6)obviouslyworse. Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft are all phenomena that make people (7)consciouslyunhappy. In addition, many people believe technology disrupts relationships and (8)fractures community.

Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between happiness and technology has been an (9)eternalsubject for social critics and philosophers, though economists and social scientists have seldom touched on the topic. However, in 1974 the economist Richard Easterlin did (10)groundbreakingwork on the relationship between prosperity and well-being. In his famous paper (11)entitled\Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?\Easterlin showed that there was no real (12)correlation between a nation's income level and its citizens' happiness in the developed countries.

In fact, technology is neither good nor bad. It (13)dependson what we want to do with it. Therefore, the responsibility belongs (14) exclusivelyto humans who have to acquire a social conscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances. Unit 4

Most people have work to do. With work, they can (1) enjoy their lives. However, people who did (2) physical labor were looked down upon in the past. Many people were (3) compelled to take manual labor because it was an absolute (4)necessity for them to earn a living and to (5)support their families. By contrast, people who did (6) mental work were highly respected. Under the influence of this idea, even today some people still (7) idealize their future when making choices for their career. What they care most about is whether the job can give them enough social (8) status rather than whether they can realize their (9)values in it. In their eyes, those who do manual labor should still be (10) classified as inferior in social status. In fact, there is no (11)essential difference between those who work with their hands and those who work with their (12) mind . Whether a job is labor or work does not depend on the job itself but on people's (13)attitude towards it. As long as you like your job, you will think you are (14)fortunate enough to take it and you will do it enthusiastically.

Unit 5

What does success mean to you? Does it mean wealth, fame, power or something else? Different people have different pursuits in life so they understand success in different ways. Some people chase (1)money their whole lives. To them, more money means more success. Some people run after fame. With fame and reputation, (2)they can gain the admiration and love of many others. However, some people dedicate (3)themselves to the well-being of society. Doubtlessly, money is something that can be used as a reward (4)to those who have done valuable work. 13..

2014-2015学年第二学期 大学英语4 期末考试复习范围

Those who perform their work excellently should be paid sufficiently(5). But success cannot be measured (6)in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others. After all, money and power can assure (7)people neither of happiness nor of respect from others. Fame, too, is a flawed measure of success. Momentary (8)fame can bring great joy to those who have it for a time. But they are very likely to become the slaves of their celebrity (9)because of the public’s demands. In addition, they will easily become the target (10)of everyone who disagrees with them and of the media as well. To be frank(11), if one is unable to fully enjoy life and liberty(12), the short-lived success is nothing but illusory(13). Therefore, to achieve the right kind of success is vitally important. As long as one can combine his own material needs and spiritual satisfaction with those of the well-being of society, he should be held in high regard(14).

Unit 6

Truth is a fact accepted as true, for which proof exists. Truth is a great principle, without which beauty may fade and love may wither(1). Those who uphold truth have a strong sense(2) of responsibility. Those who hold firmly to truth are faithful(3) to their duty and the people they serve. They commit(4) themselves to the well-being of others. With aspirations(5) to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes, if any. It can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for gratitude (6) in return.

Truth dawns(7) upon us slowly but surely. In the long quest for truth, people have accumulated(8) precious knowledge and experience. However, truth also needs nourishment (9)just as plants need water, because many people are too preoccupied(10) with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the great beauty of truth when it flowers(11) or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is tendered(12)

In short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity. Stick to the truth and we will weave(13) a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others, elevate(14) the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.
