II. Reading Comprehension
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.
By the end of the 20th century, TV show producers had begun to turn to the cheapest performers available — their audience. It seemed that anyone who wanted fame could 25 it. And some people wanted it far too much.
Richard and Mayumi Heene, 26 , launched a large balloon 2,000 meters into the air and then called a TV network to say that their six-year-old son, Falcon, was inside it. Planes were re-routed and Denver International Airport was briefly __27 . However, Falcon was later found to have been hiding in the family’s garage the whole time. The “balloon boy” incident turned out to be a hoax ( 骗 局 ) and the Heenes were 28 of doing it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows. Instead, they got a fine and a short sentence each — but they were certainly 29 for a while. So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. According to one recent survey, 30 percent of adults regularly daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us expect to 30 some kind of fame in our lifetimes. Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be famous? Do we really want every 31 of our private lives exposed in newspapers and discussed on television? Some people, such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem ill-euipped to deal with this kind of 32 , despite their talent. Boyle gained international fame for her extraordinary singing voice after appearing on TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent and her first album became the fastest-selling of all time in the U.K. But the sudden fame didn’t seem easy for her at first, and after the final of the show, Boyle was 33 to a private psychiatric clinic. Furthermore, people who achieve fame often don’t seem to like it once they have it. A survey of celebrities found that they worry about the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy, and the 34 on their children. These are hardly worries that 35 people have to deal with. They also, 36 , worry about what would happen if they were no longer famous. And there are plenty of people to ask about that. Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlight for several months afterwards. When it ended, however, he 37 his job as a toilet cleaner. “I know I’m a nobody,” he said when the attention had 38 . “When the person has to go back to everyday life, there’s a sense of 39 , loss and being cheated out of something,” says Dr. Robert Cancro of the New York University School of Medicine. 25. A. envy B. avoid C. afford D. get 26. A. for example C. in contrast 27. A. shut down C. sent off 28. A. charged 29. A. supported 30. A. involve 31. A. arrangement 32. A. behavior 33. A. accessible 34. A. weight 35. A. intelligent 36. A. accidentally
B. accused B. ashamed B. increase B. aspect B. crisis B. admitted B. influence B. well-known B. fortunately
B. on the other hand D. in comparison B. searched through D. looked into C. considered C. crazy C. beat C. variety C. pressure C. used C. benefit C. common C. ironically
D. warned D. famous D. experience D. zone D. reputation D. crowded D. energy D. considerate D. understandably
37. A. held up 38. A. disappeared 39. A. moderation
B. gave up B. arisen B. achievement
C. decided on C. been paid
D. returned to D. grown
C. disappointment D. direction
Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.
Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.
That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into
production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain. Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.
40.According to the article, which of the following statements about James Dyson is NOT true?
his mother.
customers as soon as it
arrived on the market.
