Book 3 Banked Cloze
Unit 1
Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really
determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will (1) eventually find a
way to do it well. The (2) premier point is that you must have the will to achieve success.
Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will
involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any (3)
endeavor to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain
the situation away.
On many occasions, people tend to (4) bypass (绕过)every minute obstacle, making
the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get
rid of the(5) handicaps and achieve their goals.
Only those with a(n) (6) committed(坚决的) and focused will and spirit can fight their
way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have (7) attained
(取得,达到) their prestige because they have had the will to (8) transcend apparently
insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have
managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to
accomplish major(9) feats(业绩).
Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will.
Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the(10) slightest use of force
against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand, will stand up against all odds and
will make it a point to succeed.
Unit 2
Social anxiety symptoms often begin during adolescence. It's a developmental
process that is (1) characterized (以…为特点)by profound psychological changes,
especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating (2) aspects (方
面)of the adolescent years is the tendency for self-focus and a decrease in the (3)
amount of focus we have for the feelings and needs of others.
While these changes are fairly universal, those of us who were born with a shy
temperament can carry the adolescent fears, which may never (4) recede (后退), into
adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when (5)
exposed to the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and gradually we become more
and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly
dangerous. This may result in a(n) (6) vicious circle(恶性循环)for many years: excessive
self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed.
To cope with the problem, I would like to (7) challenge you to strive for increased
focus on other people, in place of your (8) excessive (过量的)focus on yourself. Yes, I
know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose
control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight. But if you begin to build
a new response, in (9) reaction(反映) to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger
and more positive response. Remember, don't let self-consciousness (10) paralyze(麻痹)
you! Be courageous!
Unit 3
Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most
successful and well-known actresses in the film (1) domain.(领域,范围)
She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to (2)
define (规定)a particular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin beauty. Today's (3)
popularity (流行)of the slim fashion model is due to Audrey Hepburn's influence.
Although she appeared frail (脆弱的), she was (4) mentally(精神上) strong. At the end of
her acting career when she entered a(n) (5) diplomatic(外交的) career as a Goodwill
Ambassador for UNICEF, she was so solidly (6) committed(坚决的) to her cause that she
was held in highest esteem (尊重) by even the most hardened politicians.
Audrey originally started working for UNICEF in 1954, doing radio presentations.
She always said it was happy to (7) devote her life to helping impoverished (穷困的)
children after her own good fortune in (8)surviving(幸存) the hardship of the Nazi
occupation of Holland. She began her permanent ambassadorship in 1988 and (9)
embarked(乘飞机)on trips to many countries. She was always positive: "People in these
places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see
UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening." In 1992,
her (10) humanitarian(人道主义的) work with those in need was recognized when she
was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences for her contribution to humanity.
Unit 4
"Why would you leave behind your comfortable bed, your home, your family and
friends? Why do you want to go alone?" When you are living out of a backpack for a
period of time, you may often get questioned why. I seldom get time to sit down and (1)
contemplate (试探)the reason I travel, but I believe that you only begin to truly live once
you step outside of your(2) comfort (舒适)zone.
My first overseas trip was at 14 years old, which (3) sparked (激发)my curiosity for
the world. Since finishing high school I have (4) ventured (冒险前进)through various
countries and been amazed by all the (5) diverse (不同的)cultures scattered around the
globe. My eyes are my greatest asset as they have (6) witnessed the most beautiful
scenes that replay in my mind every day: (7) stunning(极好的) landscapes, friendly locals,
breath-taking architecture, and food that makes your mouth water once your eyes catch
a(n) (8) glimpse.
Traveling teaches you to be independent in the most (9) positive(踊跃的) way. I know
how to depend on myself, go out and meet people, and not let anyone else's
expectations (10) dictate (操纵、支配)my life. Every day I see my dream and every day it's
in a new place. I am 22 years young. I quite agree with Anthony Bourdain, "If you're 22,
physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel. Find out how other
people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go."
Unit 5
In a study conducted in the UK, it was found that only four out of every five (1)
employees were happy at work. Surprisingly, contrary to popular (2) notion (观点、概念),
friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager, instead of the salary or the love for
the work, have been found to be the (3) primary(要紧的) causes of happiness at work. So,
how do you keep your spirits up and, at the same time, (4) foster(培育) a sense of joy on
the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on your way to finding happiness and
complete job satisfaction in the workplace.
Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is a state of mind; it (5) reflects(反映) an
attitude, though not many people realize it. Staying happy at work is totally based on
your (6) motivations(动机) and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on (7)
monetary(货币性)rewards or material gain. Dwelling on the good (8) aspects(方面) of
the work rather than rattling on and on about what makes you unhappy is the basic key
to happiness. Negativity and (9) gossiping(闲聊) about bad things may be easy, but it is
looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job. As Francesca
Reigler puts it, "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves(10) miserable(痛楚
的), or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
Unit 6
World War II was a global war that was under way by 1939, and ended in 1945. It
involved a vast majority of the world's nations, including all of the great powers,
eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis (轴心国). It was
the most (1) appalling(吸引人的) and widespread war in human history, with
(2) innumerable(无数的)people serving in military units. In a state of "total war", the
major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at
the service of the war effort, erasing the (3) distinction(区别) between civilian and
military resources. Estimates for the total number of (4) casualties(人员伤亡)
of the war vary, because many deaths went (5) unrecorded(未记录的). Most suggest
that some 60 million people died in the war. Many civilians died because of disease,
starvation, and (6) massacres(屠戮).
The war ended with the total victory of the Allies over the Axis in 1945. World War II
altered the political alignment and social structure of the world. The United Nations was
established to (7) foster(培育) international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. The
Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival superpowers, setting the (8) stage
(时期) for the so-called Cold War, which lasted for the next 46 years. Meanwhile, the
influence of the European great powers started to (9) decline(降低、减弱), while the
decolonization of Asia and Africa began. Most countries whose industries had been
damaged moved toward economic recovery. Political integration, especially in Europe,
emerged as an effort to (10) stabilize(使稳固)post-war relations.
Unit 7
The American economy is built on credit. In the last decade, however, cheap credit
made it too easy for people to buy houses based on pure speculation that real estate
value would endlessly continue to increase. But the housing (1) slump(暴跌) set off a
chain reaction in our economy. Individuals and investors could no longer resell their
homes for a quick profit, (2) mortgages(抵押) no longer became affordable for many
homeowners, and thousands of mortgages defaulted, leaving investors and financial
institutions to face the terrible consequences.
Ironic, isn't it? Yes, it is true that credit got us into this mess, but it is also true that our
economy is (3) incredibly(极为)unstable right now, and being that it is built on credit, it
needs an inflow of cash or it could come (4)crashing down(萧条). This is something no
one wants to see as it would (5) spread(传播)through our economy and into the world
markets in a matter of hours, potentially causing a worldwide recession.
Credit in and of itself is not a bad thing. Credit (6) promotes(保证) growth and jobs.
Poor use of credit, however, can be (7) catastrophic(灾难的), which is what we are on
the (8) verge(范围)of seeing now. So long as the rescue plan comes with changes to
lending regulations and more (9) oversight(监督) of the industry, there is potential to (10)
stabilize(使稳固) the market, which is what everyone wants. Whether or not it works is to
be seen, but as it has already been voted on and passed, we should all hope it does.
Unit 8
Laughter is a(n) (1) automatic(无心识的) response to being touched by a tickle (搔
痒) — a reaction that a child would naturally be provoked into. This puts the tickler in (2)
charge of(操纵)how much or how long the child laughs. We adults don't read children's
minds, but we often have a (3) presumption(推测)that we can. So we usually think we're
aware of what's too much tickling and when to stop. But it is possible to trap our children
without knowing it. We parents become (4) attached to(依附) tickling because it seems
to be a (5) handy shortcut(捷径) to laughter. We wish that our children are happy and
love us, and tickling becomes our shortcut to get assured.
Rather than forcing laughter in this way, we can (6) confer upon(树立) them inner
confidence if we will get down on the floor and invite them to be in playful physical(7)
contact with(联系)us. If we find ways to give them much of the power, our children will
laugh and laugh. Games like "I have a hundred hugs for you!" or "Where's Jared? I know
he's around here somewhere." or "Oh, no! I can't get this horsy rider off my back!" let
children laugh and laugh as we try to catch them, or try to find them, or try to (8)
bounce them(晃动) off our backs, and fail over and over.
The physical contact that requires more creativity than tickling allows us to
(9) tumble around(打滚), to press our heads against their stomachs here and there
for a second, and to manage an embrace before they make another daring escape. We
get our affection across without trapping our children. And we give them a chance to be
inventive as they use their (10) intellect(智力)to figure out a hundred ways to outsmart
us.
