II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions:?After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages 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.
(A)
I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchair. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by (21) __________. Others seem perfectly healthy, (22) __________ (dress) in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.?
One day, I fainted at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted,?and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I (23) __________ (step)? towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks,?I asked him to wheel that thing right back to (24) __________ he found it.?
I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me,?as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.?
Little kids ran in front of me, (25) __________ (force) my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as?
I was thrown back and forth. "Stupid kids-they have perfectly good legs. Why can't they watch where?they are going?" I thought. People stared down at me,with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away,?maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me, the (26) __________ (good).?
“I am just like you!”?I wanted to scream. “The only difference is you've got legs, and I have wheels."?
People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs (27) __________ are truly disabled.
(B)
Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things (28) __________ men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children wouldn’t stop playing with it (29) __________ their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed (30) __________ fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again,because fear?would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before. A really fearless?soldier-and some do exist-is not a good soldier because he (31) __________ (kill); and a dead soldier is of no
use to his army.Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die?out.
In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house (32) __________ _________ the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you?are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear?will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide (33) __________ action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a?car coming straight towards you; fear warns you,you jump out of the way,and all is OK.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do (34) __________ avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane from (35) __________ (crash) into your house, and you (36) __________ not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it?and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a __37__ behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to __38__ ?language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now __39__ application fees for international students.
If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. You should __40__ your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation (名聲); look for the most __41__ for your goals.
Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This __42__ filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the __43__ and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t __44__ the application procedure(程序)properly.
Money is another important __45__. Some scholarships (獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金)are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your __46__ of getting it.

A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below:
Visit at Night
Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level,the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.
Purchase Your Ticket in Advance Online
Bypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.
Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with You
Before entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.
Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel Tower

?
(C)
Reward methods are an everyday occurrence in our classrooms. More than ever, a great number of incentive(激勵(lì))
programs have been created to help teachers manage behavior, and motivate learners. However, there is?evidence that in the long run, reward systems don‘t work.
Many people believe that rewards can help students develop a reason to do better. However, this approach fails to
address why children are unable to be successful in the first place. When a student who dislikes math frequently behaves badly in class, a simple and easy way to deal with the behavior might be to offer him a reward for not misbehaving. Yet this would do nothing to solve his real problem—which is his attitude towards math.
On the other hand, rewards can‘t last forever. So what happens when they stop? Many experiments suggest once the rewards stop, people go back to behaving as they did before.
Some people might?counter?that. It may be true that students won’t positively work once we stop rewarding them, but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have! Unfortunately, there is another more surprising consequence of rewards that we need to consider: Rather than create motivation, they can actually decrease motivation.
In a classic study, some kindergarteners who enjoyed drawing with markers were observed in a classroom with different activities available. They were broken into two groups. Everyone in the first group was told that he or she could win an attractive certificate by drawing a picture with markers. Each was eager to get the certificate and drew a picture. Children in the second group were also encouraged to draw but didn‘t get a certificate. After a delay of about two weeks, when the markers again appeared in the classroom but no certificate was promised, the children in the first group used the markers about half as much as children in the second group. Apparently, rewards actually made them enjoy drawing less.
What we really want is for students to take responsibility for their own learning. When much of the focus is on performance outcome, it can stop the development of self-motivation. The ‘self-determination theory’ claims all human beings will succeed when our basic, inborn, and emotional needs are met. By providing appropriate support and opportunities, we can help to meet the needs of all students and therefore increase their motivation.
69. The author of the article mainly argues that ________.
A. students should be responsible for their learning
B. incentive programs help to solve real problems
C. reward system need to be better developed
D. reward methods for students are ineffective
70. The word “counter” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. support
B. disagree
C. prefer
D. accept
71.?In Paragraph 5, the author uses the example mainly to support the idea that ________.
A. Children keep interest longer with rewards
B. Rewards have different effect on different children
C. children are not motivated without rewards
D. rewards actually reduce motivation
72. The author persuades readers to accept his argument mainly by ________.
A. questioning the results of classic studies
B. comparing strengths with weaknesses of rewards
C. pointing out the problems with reward systems
D. giving examples of badly-behaved students
73. Which of the following statements might the author agree with?
A.Self-motivation is the tool to enable students to develop continuously.
B.Reward system works well when used with small school children.
C.In science subjects,such as math,reward does motivate students.
D.We need more research work to support reward system.
?
Section c

A.?Instead, try to think only about the bright side of your life.
B.?Don't depend too much on others when you can solve the problem by yourself.
C.?This kind of 'work will help you understand that your problems are not worth mentioning.
D. Try doing something that may help you lift up your mood.
E. The more people you meet, the more encouragement you will get.
F. You should also try doing something only for yourself

Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard. when there's nobody to talk to and the mood(情緒)is just getting worse and worse. But why just sit and think how unlucky you are? ??????????74 ???????Even if it doesn't help you too much, at least while doing these things you won't have time to think of your problems. You win anyway!
The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively. It's very hard, because usually when we feel depressed we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad character issues we have. But if you'll try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good, Just try to avoid bad thoughts. ???75 ??Don't forget : We are what we think we are.
??????76 ?????This could be something you wanted for a long time: maybe a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. This doesn't have to be very expensive. The point of all this is being good to yourself.
Meeting a positive person should be very useful. Just try to keep your problem off the conversation. The idea here is to get out of your shell and have some interaction. Get involved with someone else and your mind will take a turn as well.
If you have too much time--volunteer it. We usually think that the problems we have are huge, although if you'll try to go to hospital, you'll see that there are a lot of people who have more severe problems. Moreover, you'll see that people are still working, smiling, and laughing.
???????77 ??????
All you have to do is to take control of your emotions and make them positive in spite of letting them control you. Making yourself feel better isn't that hard. it's hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood.
