Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blan
15、ks 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）After spending between six and eight hours in class, students are expected to spend between two and four hours at home doing homework. These extra hours of
16、 work leave students (25) _ (feel) tired and stressed and it leaves students with little free time for other activities, such as sports.Earlier, Chinas Ministry of Education said it wanted to ban homework in primary schools and asked parents for their comments. Most parents were (26) _ the idea. The
17、y understood that homework put pressure on their children, (27) _ they felt that the extra work was necessary if their children hoped to enter a good middle school.The debate between homework or no homework (28) _ (go) on in American schools for years and no one has come up with (29) _ solution. Wha
18、t most agree on, though, is that homework should be relevant, and it should help the student strengthen (30) _ he or she has learnt in class. It should not be given routinely just to keep the student busy in the evening.In China, because of the entrance tests for high school and university, doing en
19、dless exercises at home is considered necessary because students have to prepare (31) _ for the tests by practicing a lot. Unless a system is changed, its doubtful whether Chinese students (32) _ (relieve) of their homework burden any time soon.（B）What causes todays continuing high unemployment rema
20、ins a central economic question of our time. According to some economists, the computer revolution eliminates more jobs than it creates.Technology has solved many social problems and has had profound effects on jobs, but changes have occurred over many years. To take one example, a new automated mac
21、hine tool (33) _ (call) Milwaukee-Matic has improved the way of production, but it has replaced 18 workers at the same time. Robert Heilbroner, a well-known economist (34) _ wrote a widely read book on economic history warned: “As machines continue to invade society, it is human labor itself (35) _
22、gradually becomes needless.”Economists Frank Levy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Richard Murnane of Harvard believe that computers have eliminated many jobs and will continue to do so. ATMs have reduced the need for tellers (出纳员). Computerized airport ticket boxes have limited the
23、number of ticket agents.But they also claim that new computer jobs are far more than losses. There are 3.5 million workers directly (36) _ (involve) in creating computer infrastructure(基础设), such as software developers, systems analysts and data experts.As a result, job creation in the future will f
24、ocus on three kinds of work: solving unstructured problems (e.g. performing delicate surgery), working with new information (e.g. analyzing marketing data), and carrying out manual tasks (e.g. moving furniture).The key question is whether schools (37) _ adapt to the computer revolution. For the fore
25、seeable future, the challenge of cybernation (电脑化) is not mass unemployment, but the need (38) _ (educate) many more young people for the jobs computers cannot do.Although schools are far better than in earlier decades, the skills required for the first two types of jobs, the well-paying jobs, have
26、become (39) _ (difficult). Future living standards depend heavily on (40) _ schools can produce those higher skills in larger quantities.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
27、A. additional B. experience C. desired D. aspects E. declined F. expectationsG. obstacles H. preserved I. unrealistic J. remained K. demandsWe believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all (41) _ of their adult life work, leisure, personal rela
28、tionships, creative activities, dealing with money matters, independence, and parenthood.However, it would be (42) _ to provide an education which gave no consideration to the needs of employers.What type of training does the business world regard as important?Many young people applying for jobs wer
29、e, in the employers opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though (43) _ education at university level improved the students general ability, a report states, “In basic skills the standards (44) _ very low.” It is doubtful whether standards have (45) _ in recen
30、t years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standard is now high enough. Do technological changes make greater (46) _ upon the students abilities?We should also remember that the job (47) _ of young people have increased. The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hair
31、dressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship (学徒) 20 years ago now desire to an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. NO wonder there are (48) _ in reaching the “necessary standards” of the business world.Many employers
32、 believed that it was important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kind of job to see how the world of business and commerce is different from their own. The teaching profession and society in general needed a greater u
33、nderstanding of manpower needs and therefore of the (49) _ direction of the education system. Many employers believed that it was important for teachers to have (50) _ outside the world of college and school. They should work for a while at some other kind of job “to see how the world of business an
34、d commerce differ from their own.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

44、 have just read.(A)While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly kno
45、wn as “Empty Nest Syndrome“.In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that so
46、meday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has
47、 been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from th
48、eir aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon“, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome“.66. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonely B. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries C. the common worry about their income D. the geographical dis
