Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions:
After reading
the passages 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 have to say that my mom is stricter
than most parents, and
I?
m
the kind of kid who has a lot
of my own
thoughts.
I used to think that
she
?
s just a picky person
that likes to make things more difficult for me,
so
we
once
sat
down
and
talked
face
to
face
trying
to
clarify
every
misunderstanding
we
have
(25)__________ us. I (26)__________
(convince) and decided to change my attitude
towards her.
My mom told me that as we
grow, she
?
s also growing,
too. Every day, she learns something new
about being a mom, and her knowledge of
becoming a good mom gradually grows.
(27)__________
time
passes
by,
I
began
to
realize
that
most
of
her
rules,
or
should
I
say
“
point of
view
”
, are really to protect
us. We teenagers often think that parents are
conservative
(
保
守
的
),
and
they
know
nothing
about
us,
but
honestly,
we
?
re
actually
still
too
young
(28)__________ (know)
what
?
s really best for us.
Parents
can
be
wrong
sometimes
because
nobody
?
s
perfect,
and
they
may
be
just
like
my
mom
who
is
still
on
her
way
to
(29)__________
(be)
a
perfect
parent!
So,
to
those
who
often
argue with their parents like me: next
time, when you really disagree with (30)__________
your
parents say, stop and tell
yourself that your parents would never try to do
(31)__________ to harm
you because they
love you before you yell at them.
Finally, I really want my mom to know
how sorry I am for always yelling at her breaking
her
heart. I really do want to change
because I love her just as much as she loves me.
(B)
When I was
in junior high school, darkness began filling my
mind. I don
?
t know the day
or
the reason why it began. All I know
is that I started feeling hopeless and worthless.
I hid in my
room, (32)__________
(stare) out of the window, thinking about all my
failures. I even questioned
(33)__________
being
alive
was
worthwhile.
My
dark
mood
wasn
?
t
constant.
It
would
fade
at
times, but it always returned.
It was my parents that helped me
identify the shadow (34)__________ hung over my
life
—
depression. Depression is
(35)__________ mental illness that drains your
energy and prevents you
from enjoying
life. It can keep you from succeeding at school or
work or from connecting with
others. At
its (36)__________ (bad), depression can even lead
to suicide.
When your mood is dark, how
do you know whether you are depressed or just sad?
Think
about how long the feelings
(37)__________ (last). If they have persisted for
weeks or months,
get help.
No one (38)__________ face depression
alone. If you
?
re depressed,
find someone
—
a friend,
parent, teacher or pastor
—
and tell them your
feelings. Consider seeing a doctor or
psychologist,
if they are getting
worse.
When I was depressed, I was
(39)__________ (embarrass) to tell anyone.
I didn
?
t
want to
seem weak or needy.
But when I told my friends, they supported and
encouraged me.
In fact, (40)__________
depression affects many people worldwide,
treatments are available

Americans
know
the
benefits
of
having
a
healthy
diet.
In
school,
children
learn
to
eat
a
variety of
healthy foods. People grow up aware of the value
of __41__ calories. They hear about
the
health dangers of chemicals added to __42__
food. They realize they shouldn?t eat
too many
sweets or fats. Many American
consumers read __43__ carefully for nutrition
information. That
way they can compare
products and eat the best foods.
Keeping
fit
—
or
maybe
getting
in
shape
—
is
often
high
on
the
list
of
New
Year?s
resolutions
for
Americans.
In
the
past
two
decades,
fitness
has
become
a
fashion.
Many
Americans have joined
health clubs to work out with __44__ equipment.
Sports stores sell sports
shoes
and
clothing
for
every
possible
exercise
__45__.
People
can
even
buy
weights
and
equipment and set up their own exercise
center at home!
Statistics
give health experts good reason to be
disappointed. Americans exercise less than
they used to. The number of people
taking part in fitness activities __46__ from 41.7
million in
1991 to only 32 million in
1993. Among high school students, only 37 percent
__47__ three times
per
week.
However,
70
percent
of
teenagers
watch
at
least
an
hour
of
TV
every
day,
and
38
percent watch over three
hours. As a result, the __48__ American gained
eight pounds during the
1980?s.
At least one-third
of Americans weigh 20 percent more than their
ideal weight.
Still,
by
many
__49__,
Americans
enjoy
good
health.
Medical
care
in
the
United
States,
while
expensive,
is
among
the
best
in
the
world.
The
U.S.
Government
__50__
strict
food
inspections
to
ensure
that
food
is
of
the
highest
quality.
Food
producers
must
label
products
accurately. Many
resources, such as magazines, TV programs and even
the Internet, allow people
to find out
how to improve their health. Americans know how to
make themselves more healthy.
They just
need to do it.

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.
As anyone who has tried to
lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting
generally produces the
best results.
That is partially __51__ it appears people who set
realistic goals actually work more
efficiently, and make more effort, to
achieve those goals.
What
is
far
less
understood
by
scientists,
__52__,
are
the
potentially
harmful
effects
of
goal-
setting.
Newspapers
relay
（转发）
accounts
of goal-setting in industries and businesses up
and down
both Wall Street and Main
Street, yet there has been __53__ little research
on how the practice of
setting goals
may have __54__ to the current economic crisis,
and
unethical
(
不道德
) behavior in
general.
“
Goals are widely used and
promoted as having really beneficial effects. And

more effort in a constructive way could also
motivate people
to be more likely to

says Maurice Schweitzer, an associate professor
at Penn

School.
“
It turns out
there

to just having a goal
—
you
just get a psychological
benefit.

Schweitzer says.
“
But in
many cases, goals have economic __57__ that make

powerful.

A
prime
example

of
energy-trading giant Enron, where
managers used financial encouragements to motivate
salesmen
to

specific
profit
goals.
The
problem,
Schweitzer
says,
is
the
actual
trades
were
not

Other studies have shown
that __61__ employees with unrealistic goals can
force them to lie,
cheat or steal. Such
was the case in the early 1990s when Sears __62__

quota
(

) on its
auto
repair staff. It promoted employees to impose for
work and to __63__ unnecessary repairs on
a companywide basis.

counter
to
