Reading
Comprehension
Section A
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.
By
the
end
of
the
20th
century,
TV
show
producers
had
begun
to
turn
to
the
cheapest
performers
available
—
their
audience.
It
seemed
that
anyone
who
wanted
fame
could
25
it.
And some people
wanted it far too much.
Richard and
Mayumi Heene,
26
, launched a large balloon
2,000 meters into the air and
then
called
a
TV
network
to
say
that
their
six-year-old
son,
Falcon,
was
inside
it.
Planes
were
re-routed and Denver
International Airport was briefly __27
. However, Falcon was later found
to have been hiding in the
family’s garage the whole time. The
“balloon boy” incident turned out to
be
a hoax (
骗
局
) and the
Heenes were 28
of doing it
in the hope of landing their own
reality
TV shows. Instead,
they got a fine and a short sentence each
—
but they were certainly
29 for a while.
So do we
want fame? Research suggests that a large number
of us do. According to one recent
survey, 30 percent of adults regularly
daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us
expect to
30
some kind of fame in our lifetimes.
Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be
famous?
Do we really want every 31 of
our private lives exposed in newspapers and
discussed on television?
Some people,
such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem
ill-euipped to deal with this kind of
32
, despite their talent. Boyle gained
international fame
for her extraordinary singing voice
after appearing on TV talent show
Britain’s
Got Talent and her
first album became the fastest-selling
of all time in the U.K. But the sudden
fame didn’t seem easy for her at first, and after
the final of the
show, Boyle was 33 to
a private psychiatric clinic.
Furthermore, people who achieve fame
often don’t seem to like it once they have it. A
survey
of celebrities found that they
worry about the press, critics, threatening
letters, the lack of privacy,
and the
34
on their children. These
are hardly worries that
35
people have to deal with.
They also, 36 , worry about
what would happen if they were no longer famous.
And there are plenty
of people to ask
about that. Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a
fisherman who rescued a boy
from
the
sea
and
enjoyed
the
media
spotlight
for
several
months
afterwards.
When
it
ended,
however, he

toilet cleaner. “I know I’m a nobody,”
he said when the attention
had 38 .
“When the person
has to go back to everyday life,
there’
s a sense of 39 , loss and being
cheated
out of something,” says Dr.
Robert Cancro of the New York University School of
Medicine.

Section B
Directions:
Read the following 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)
My father died when I was nine, and I
remember doing the household chores to help my
mother.
I hated changing the vacuum
cleaner (
真空吸尘器
) bag and
picking up things the machine did not
suck up.
Twenty
years
later,
in
1978,
I
was
doing
chores
at
home
alongside
my
wife.
One
day
the
vacuum
cleaner
was
screaming
away,
and
I
had
to
empty
the
bag
because
I
could
not
find
a
replacement for it. With
this lifelong hatred of the way the machine
worked, I decided to make a
bagless
vacuum cleaner.
Easier
said
than
done,
of
course.
I
didn’t
realize
that
I
would
spend
the
next
five
years
perfecting my design, a process that
resulted in 5,127 different prototypes
(
设计原型
). By the time I
made my 15th prototype, my third child
was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really
counting our
pennies. By 3,727, my wife
was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we
were getting further
and further into
debt. These were tough times, but each failure
brought me closer to solving the
problem.
I just had a
passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I
never thought of going into a
business
with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to
get licensing agreements
(
许可协议
) for my
technology. The reality was very
different, however. The major vacuum makers had
built a business
model based on the
profits from bags and filters
(
滤网
). No one would license
my idea, not because
it was a bad one,
but because it was bad for business.
That gave me the courage to keep going,
but soon after, the companies that I had talked
with
started making machines like mine.
I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the
Atlantic to protect
the patents on my
vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial
difficulties until 1993, when my
bank
manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend
me $$1 million. Then I was able to go into
production. Within two years, the Dyson
vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the
potential for failure as part of the process.
Nothing beats the
excitement of
invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You
are not bound to any rules
—
in fact,
the stranger and riskier your
idea, the better.
