第三節(jié) 完形填空(共20小題; 每小題1.5分, 滿分30分)
閱讀下面短文, 從各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D )中,選出最佳選項。
Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go
home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with the same 21 might go onto the Internet and write
about them in a 22 . In many ways, a diary and a
blog are very similar. So, what makes blogging 23 from writing in a traditional diary?
The biggest difference is that
blogging is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats
her diary like a book full of 25 that she does not want to share.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I 26 online to read her blog. She writes about things 27 waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, 28 only in my diary. Then I 29 hide my diary in a secret place because I was worried that my sister might read it!
Because blogging is such a public way of writing, it has 30 good and bad points. The biggest problem with blogging is that anyone can 31 what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 32 about her in my diary, she would never know. 33 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might read her blog and become angry. 34 , we have to be very careful of what we write.
There are also advantages to
blogging, of course. People choose to blog 35 they know that their friends will read
what they write. If I was 36 sad one day and wrote in my diary, nobody
37 me, because no one knows about it.
However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends
would quickly 38 and tell her how much they like her.
Blogs help people 39 contact with their friends and hear what
the people around them are doing. Blogs are a very good way to write about 40 , as long as people are careful
about what they write.

useless.” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in
school gym classes in
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year , he met John Ridgway, who because famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean , Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland , where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ‘You’re completely crazy,” “Saunders says .

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(顯著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(動機(jī)), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. Foreign students have more problems.
B. There are many ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should meet students’ needs.
D. English learning problems should be studied again.
51. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students________.
A. had to write their papers
B. became better at speaking
C. became less interested in reading
D. had fewer problems with listening
52. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. different teaching methods should be used
B. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway.
53. The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “__________”.
A. re-think
B. activity
C. motivation
D. timetable
D
Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(風(fēng)景畫) much influenced(影響) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some
strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing
watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last
time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became
my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors
should look. So I painted landscapes around
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”

One possible version:
Now in country areas, there are many children out of school. I think one of the reasons is that their families are too poor to afford their school. As a result, they have to stay at home to get money to keep their families. Another reason is that many parents think it useless for the girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. A third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school. In my opinion all the children including the girls should have the chance to receive education. All the people should pay attention to the children who will play a very important part in the future of our country.
