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.
