IV. Cloze
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words

best fits the context.
(A)
Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn’t have done or
something you didn’t do which you should have? At one time or another we
probably all have. There’s no 51 in getting
depressed about it now —it’s no 52 crying
over spilt (溢出的) milk . However, there may be some gain in thinking about
exactly what happened and why 53 we might be able
to draw some conclusions for the future.
One thing we all do now and again is to lose our 54
with a friend or close relative.
The odd thing is that we more often display great 55 towards
someone we are fond of than towards 56 . The explanation may
be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net,
an opportunity to 57 a bit of steam in a safe
environment , while the consequences (后果) of 58 a
stranger could be far more serious.
Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue (美德）and undoubtedly
this is the 59 . On the other hand, we have
all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone ,telling them
exactly what we feel , and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of
60 . Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?
51. A. reason B. purpose C. point D.
result
52. A. use B. help C. value D.
benefit
53. A. so B. because C. but
D. though
54. A. mind B. memory C. manner D.
temper
55. A. anger B. interest C. love D.
respect
56. A. strangers B. friends C. relatives
D. colleagues
57. A. run through B. throw away C. give up D.
let off
58. A. inviting B. insulting C. speaking to D.
believing in
59. A. issue B. case C. event D.
factor
60. A. excitement B. happiness C. pride D.
guilt
（B）
Several factors make a good newspaper story . First —obviously—it
must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a
problem for 61 . They usually respond
to it in one of three ways.
l By providing 62 detail, comment or
background information.
l By finding a new 63 on the day’s major
stories.
l By printing completely different stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.
What else? Well—it also has to be 64 .
People don’t want to read about ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many
stories 65 some kind of conflict or danger . This is
one reason why so much news seems to be 66 news ,
“ Plane lands safely—no-one hurt ”doesn’t sell newspapers. “Plane
67 —200 feared dead !” does .
Next , there’s human interest , People are interested in other
68 —particularly in the rich , famous and powerful , Stories
about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians, 69
, all appear regularly in certain newspapers .
Finally, for many editors, 70 is an important
factor , too . They prefer stories about people, places and events which their
readers know. That’s why the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often very
different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.
61. A. newspapers B. publications
C. reporters D. broadcasters
62. A. extra B. available C.
inaccessible D. memorable
63. A. direction B. look C. angle D.
section
64. A. tragic B. dramatic C.
professional D. sensitive
65. A. quote B. neglect
C. increase D. involve
66. A. good B. bad C. exciting D.
informative
67. A. crashes B. bumps C. strikes D.
drops
68. A. places B. people C. things D.
news
69. A. in addition B. in any case C. for
example D. after all
70. A. personality B. similarity C. uniqueness D.
familiarity

The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father
arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and
uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She
smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first
floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.
Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s
competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to
marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell,
27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a
peculiar “ experiment ” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg
and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They
took a lie detector (测谎仪）test and the station also spoke to their
friends and family about their personalities . The competition judges included
an astrologer (占星家) who declared that they were suited .
The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party
for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss
Germaine’s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s
parents are reported to be less than delighted.
Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have
criticized the marriage. As one person put it, “ we have enough problems
getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should

（B）
In July 1994 Jupiter , the largest planet in our solar system , was
struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in
the southern part of the giant planet , the explosions were watched by
scientists here on earth , But what if our own planet was hit by a comet ?
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards
the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit
the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.
On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s
atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But
the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of
sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of
water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the
African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave
moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.
Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but
the north won’t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the
atmosphere by the explosions .As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust,
temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break
out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No
more than 10 million people have survived.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in
the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160
million years .Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many
scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs
couldn’t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct.
Will we meet the same end?
one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “
programme assembly failures.”
Twenty per cent of all errors were “ test failures ”—primarily due
to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing . A man about to get
his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket
and boots were kept , put them on —much to his surprise . A woman victim
reported : “ I got into the bath with my socks on .”
The commonest problem was information “ storage failures”. People
forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot
why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing
it.
The research so far suggests that while the “ central processor” of
the brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practised
routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision
points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may
be “ captured ” by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting
in embarrassing errors.
82. The purpose of Professor Reason’s research is
.
A. to show the difference between men and women in their reasoning
B. to classify and explain some errors in human actions
C. to find the causes which lead to computer failures
D. to compare computer functions with brain workings .
83. Which of the following might be grouped under “ programme assembly
failures ”?
A. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.
B. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.
C. A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.
D. An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.
84. The word “ verifying ” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by
.
A. improving B. changing C. checking D.
stopping
85. According to the passage, the information “ storage failures ”
refer to .
A. the destruction of information collecting system
B. the elimination of one’s total memory
C. the temporary loss of part of one’s memory
D. the separation of one’s action from consciousness
