阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
When a rather dirty , poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins , do you hurry on , not knowing what to do , or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money ? What should our attitude to beggars be ? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories . It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from . It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars .
Certainly , most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves .But has the world changed ?Maybe what was morally right in the old days ,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help ,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars .Let us look at their arguments.
First ,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging .Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil.Secondly ,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer ,wine or drugs .Thirdly ,there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor ,but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people .Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion ;there are various cases and we must deal with them differently .A few coins can save a life in some situations ,and even if the money is wasted ,that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.

—I wish I the play at the Little Theatre.
—Well, if I had known that, I would have given you my ticket.
A.have seen B.saw C.see D.had seen
If better use is of your spare time, you’ll make greater progress in it.
A. spent B. made C. taken D. thought

William Stone, a spokesman of one of the biggest import & export companies in Yorkshire, Britain, was making an angry speech at a business conference in Berlin for seeking a complete solution to the problem of so called “Mad Cow Disease”, which had been spreading quickly throughout the country and was regarded as a direct cause of the death of a 12-year-old schoolgirl who was said to have eaten some well-done beef and died two weeks later. The death caused great fear among beef-eaters all over the world.
“We don’t believe it since until now I haven’t received even a smallest piece of paper reporting the real cause of the death,” said Mr Stone excitedly facing the thirty representatives from at least twenty countries that had been the biggest import countries of the British beef but now refused to have it. When he saw no signs of anybody being willing to speak out, Mr Stone got madder, adding, “You will have to eat beef every day, won’t you? In the past, to get our beef, you ordered in advance, as much as you could, saying in your thank-you letter, … without the British beef we can’t imagine what a colorless sight would be on our countrymen’s dinner tables.”
“But now, gentlemen, you say ‘Mad Cow Disease…Death frightening … sorry to stop enjoying your beef for the moment!’” Mr Stone let out a shout and then seized a handful of paper out from a paper bag lying beside the microphone, “Here, here … What you are thinking about is all here. Have a look at your telegram, gentlemen!”
His audience looked at each other, still expressionless. “Well, let our beef rot away,” Mr Stone continued. “And let your men go hungry—they’ll be mad one day. Thank you!” He took his handkerchief out of his pocket, wiping off sweat while walking down back to his seat. All of the listeners stayed silent for seconds, then laughter burst out.
They, including Mr Stone himself, laughed so much that the chairman of the conference announced a rest of ten minutes.
1.From Mr Stone’s speech we know that ________.
A.the British beef had been widely enjoyed by people out of the country
B.the British beef had once been widely praised by the people of the country
C.the British beef caused the so-called disease

2.Mr Stone thought that since his government didn’t prove that the death of the girl had been caused by the disease, the countries of which representatives were listening should agree to import __________.
A.beef without disease B.some other beef
C.a kind of beef as he suggested D.as much British beef as before
3.The underlined word “mad” means “___________” on Mr Stone’s side, but “________” on the listeners side.
A.hungry; angry B.bad; good
C.angry; ill in mind D.ill in mind; hungry
4.The laughter made by both the speaker and the listeners showed _________.

Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp, a large software company with several offices across the United States.
“After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy,” recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. “We couldn’t even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks, Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. “None of the company’s 350 other employees could have done the job in three months,” says Mr. Braun. “Sulyman can ‘see’ into the heart of the computer.” Mr. Bokyigit’s gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine.
“The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do,” says Mr. Gokyigit.
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. “Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,” he says.
Much of the student programmer’s speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. “Nothing seems to shake his attention,” says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.
Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available 24 hours a day. “We consider him our top problem solver.” says Mr. Braun.
32. According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman___________.
A. can work wonders on computer
B. is the best technician in the world
C. has done a hard job in three months
D. has united InterliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company
33. The underlined part “is at home with hardware”(paragraph4) means____________.
A. is good at dealing with computer hardware
B. is fond of computer hardware
C. works with computer hardware at home
D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware
34. Sulyeman was quick while at the computer mostly because of__________.
A. his blindness B. his attention on the synthesizer
C. his long, thin fingers D. his ability not to be interrupted
35. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.
B. One’s disadvantages may prove to be advantages.
C. The disabled can also play an important role in society.
D. Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.

Gravitational waves are the ripples(波纹) in the pond of space time. The gravity of large objects warps space and time, or “space time” as physicists call it, the way a bowling ball changes the shape of a trampoline(蹦床) as it rolls around on it. Smaller objects will move differently as a result — like marbles spiraling(盘旋) toward a bowling-ball-sized dent(凹迹) in a trampoline instead of sitting on a flat surface.
Scientists announced that they have succeeded in detecting gravitational waves from the violent merging(兼并) of two black holes in deep space. The detection was regarded as a victory for a controversial, delicately crafted, billion-dollar physics experiment and as confirmation of a key prediction of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
There is no obvious, immediate consequence of this physics experiment, but the scientists say this opens a new window on the universe. Until now, astronomy has been almost exclusively a visual enterprise: Scientists have relied on light, visible and otherwise, to observe the cosmos.
But now gravitational waves can be used as well. They could potentially take a census of black-hole mergers, spot the collisions of ultra-dense neutron stars(中子星), probe the inner dynamics of exploding stars and discover theoretical “cosmic strings” left over from the big bang.
These waves will be particularly useful for studying black holes (the existence of which was first implied by Einstein’s theory) and other dark objects, because they’ll give scientists a bright beacon to search for even when objects don’t emit actual light. Mapping the abundance of black holes and frequency of their mergers could get a lot easier.
Since they pass through matter without interacting with it, gravitational waves would come to Earth carrying undistorted information about their origin. They could also improve methods for estimating the distances to other galaxies.
It will also start a new era of astronomy in which gravitational waves are tools for studying the most mysterious and exotic objects in the universe.
33. According to the passage, which of the following is true about the experiment of gravitational waves?
A. It is a success and was approved of by all.
B. It is well designed though time and money consuming.
C. It proves that black holes do give out gravitational waves.
D. It proves one of the key predictions of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity right.
34. Why is gravitational waves important?
A. Because scientists have relied on light, visible and otherwise, to observe the cosmos.
B. Because they have been used to discover facts about the inner dynamics of exploding stars.
C. Because they could make it possible to probe objects in total darkness even when they don’t give out light.
D. Because mapping the abundance of black holes and frequency of their mergers could be impossible without them.
35. The underlined word “undistorted” in paragraph 6 probably mean _______
A. Unrelated. B. Unfamiliar. C. Unchanged. D. Unreal.

Dear classmates,
It is a pleasure for I to have a chance to make a short speech today.Recently,I had found that some of our classmates study late into the night and do not spare some time to take a rest during the day either.They often cannot help fall asleep in class.And some classmates seldom have breakfast,that is also a bad habit and will surely do harm to our health.
In my opinion,it is extreme important for us to have enough sleep and a proper diet.We must learn to make a wise use of our time,and only in this way can we keep fit or study well.I wonder if you agree me.
Thank you for listening.

You must have heard about Dolly and have been amazed by the first cloned animal. But here came a problem; should we clone humans? When being asked about this question, a large number of people which are interested in the topic hold the view that it’s beneficial to clone humans. Therefore, some other people, me including, are against this idea. Cloning humans can bring negative effects and wrong informations. In the first place, they may not be treated equal as normal people, which I believe will make him suffer a lot. In second place, human cloning may lead in some social disorder, and it is quite dangerous.
