Larry, Moe, and Curly became famous for their many short movies featuring extraordinary comedy. In their movies, they found many ways of ((52)) funny actions.

The Stooges got their name and their start in an act called Ted Healy and his Stooges. This act began ((55)) the way for their exceedingly successful career.

完形填空 2 We are living in the age of a telecommunications revolution. In order to keep from getting left behind, many developing countries are making an intensive effort to strengthen their telecommunications infrastructure. This will help them ((51)) the developed countries. It was, after all, advanced telecommunications that gave some countries an economic advantage ((52)) others during the 20th century. There is one place that developing nations are looking to improve upon. That is enabling their citizens and businesses to get access to the Web. They are installing advanced optical fibers. These fibers, a millimeter in diameter, can bring the information superhighway to their door. The ((53)) investments that countries like Vietnam are making may seem too great because they still lack basic utilities, like electricity and water. However, government officials say that these moves are ((54)) . They are also confident that their countries will reap the benefits. They will benefit from having more ((55)) and up-to-date telecommunications equipment and gaining more revenues.

People don't always understand the ((58)) of the problem, though.” He continued, “There are problems with using the antique communications equipment. And if we continue to use such old equipment, the ((59)) between us and the developed world will continue to widen. sacrifices have to be made now so that our children will have a country with opportunities equal ((60)) those they see in the developed world.” It will not be far when they can cruise alongside Americans and Western Europeans on the information superhighway.

完形填空 3 On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the coauthor of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, a(n) ((51)) to thousands of people. He was wise, kind and ((52)) , a visionary for what is possible in the world. I thought, “If I can get to know him, I will become that.’’ When I saw the opportunity, I ((53)) it. During his presentation, Jack reached for his wallet, ((54)) out a hundred-dollar bill, and said “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I leapt up, ran up the stairs to the stage, and grabbed the bill from his hand. As I took the bill, he turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! We can’t ((55)) the opportunities to come to us. We must take action to create what we want!” After this talk, I waited in line to meet Jack and asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next several months, I sent him e-mails ((56)) my vision and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then my life got ((57)) with other things. I lost sight of my inspiration and I stopped e-mailing Jack. A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I emailed him again and again — but got no ((58)) . As I sat down at my computer to check my email for the fifth time, I suddenly woke up. What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? Instantly, an inspiration came like lightning: We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait.

Take it, and come back to me every day at this hour till better times come.” The hungry children ((51)) eagerly around the basket, and quarreled for the bread, because each wished to have the largest loaf.

Be quick!” But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s ((58)) , he said, “No, no, my child, it was no ((59)) . I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to ((60)) you.

完形填空 5 Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing world. But the truth is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a ((51)) country like Germany?

Rita ((56)) there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always open to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street. The couple were soon spending all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to ((57)) donations. Today, over thirty companies regularly donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to ((58)) them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer donates new shoes. Kurt and Rita receive no ((59)) for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t expect money for helping their children.

The ((51)) told the media that this young man appeared to be wandering to the summer camp scene in police uniform, on his routine duty, with nothing unusual at all. Suddenly, he started shooting madly at the crowd and the hail of bullets brought down uncountable people on the spot. A few days ((52)) to the shooting, the media also reported some affecting stories. During the terrible shooting, ((53)) men and women rushed toward danger. They showed remarkable spirit at moments of death not for the ((54)) of their duties but out of their intense love of humanity. In face of immediate death, a wife fell on top of her husband to shield him from the rain of bullets.

And for some people it means real competition for rewards since the sport has been encouraged by the local authorities. These events are always held in beautiful places with ((52)) that often are only accessible by bike. Seeing the beautiful scenery of South Africa is what makes it all so attractive. These events may be called races, but ((53)) they are really just a way to get out and ride. The first mountain biking world cup ((54)) in 1991. The race covered Europe and North America, and it was sponsored by a German company. With increasing media coverage, the mountain biking race had gained great ((55)) since 1991. In 1996, cross-country mountain biking events were added to the Olympic Games. Every year the race seems to ((56)) more choices to mountain bikers. ((57)) is the number of events increasing, but the number of different types of events has also increased. Some mountain bike races are like marathon events to test one’s endurance.

完形填空 10 How does a part-time job affect a student’s academic performance? Recently a survey (调查)has been ((51)) among teachers on this question, and the answers varied. The most obvious answer to the survey question is that academic performance is undermined (削弱). Actually, over half of the teachers feel that having a part-time job ((52)) with a student’s academic performance. This makes sense because when students get jobs, they have less time to devote to their academic studies. Less study time usually means a ((53)) in test scores and overall grades. Some students get jobs to make money for ((54)) and fun. Unfortunately, many students have to work to help support their families and in those ((55)) there are few choices available to them. In ((56)) , many other teachers feel that working might bring educational benefits. They believe working improves a student’s academic performance. This response ((57)) 27 percent of the votes in the survey. And it would be interesting to hear what theories are ((58)) it. Perhaps once students become responsible enough to be committed to a job, they pass on this new attitude toward their studies. Maybe it is ((59)) chance that the improvement is made. Maybe developing responsibility is a natural part of growing up. Whether working part-time ((60)) students’ performance or not, it is not likely to influence the number of students getting jobs. Cars, clothes, or family needs will lead most teenagers to get hired at some point. As a result, nothing can alter the trend. ((51)). A. instructed B. conducted C. introduced D. produced ((52)).

完形填空 11 The professor stood before his class of 30 senior biology students, about to pass out the final exam. “I have been privileged to be your instructor this semester, and I know how hard you have all worked to ((51)) for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school next fall,” he said to them. “I am well aware of how much ((52)) you are under to keep your GPAs up, and because I know you are all capable of understanding this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic B to anyone who would ((53)) not to take the final.” The relief was audible (听得见的) as a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and departed from class. The professor looked at the handful of students who ((54)) , and offered again, “Any other takers? This is your last opportunity.” One more student decided to ((55)) . Seven students remained. The professor closed the door and took attendance. Then he ((56)) the final exam. There were two sentences typed on the paper:“ ((57)) , you have just received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.” I never had a professor who gave a test like that. It may seem like the easy ((58)) of grading exams,but it’s a way that any teacher in any discipline (治学严谨) could and should give. Students who don’t have ((59)) in what they’ve learned are B students at best. The same is ((60)) for students of real life.

完形填空 12 Having been out of work for two years because of poor health, I decided to look for a part-time job. I ((51)) and interviewed again and again with no progress. I was getting pretty discouraged. It was freezing cold last Tuesday evening. I was waiting at a bus stop when I saw a young woman wearing just a T-shirt and no shoes. I asked if she needed any ((52)) . She told me she had lost everything in a big fire and had been ((53)) for two days. I dug in my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my ((54)) and shoes and gave them to her. She looked at me and said, “Aren’t you, going to be cold?” I told her, it would be worth it if they could keep her a little bit ((55)) . She was moved to tears and thanked me with a hug. Then as I got on the bus the miracle (奇迹) of ((56)) kindness happened. When I was to pay the fare, the bus driver said with a smile, “Madam, I saw what you just did and your ((57)) is on me. ” I expressed my thanks and was about to sit down when a lady dressed in a business suit said to me, “You just did the most ((58)) thing I have ever seen.

完形填空 13 In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got into a life boat, but his supplies were ((51)) . His chances of surviving were small. ((52)) when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive — much thinner than he was when he started, but alive. His ((53)) of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness — how he managed to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to make fresh water — is very interesting. But the thing that ((54)) my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no ((55)) in continuing the struggle. He was starved and completely worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice. When people survive these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in similarly desperate circumstances ((56)) in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on ((57)) difficulties. “I tell myself I can handle it,” wrote Callahan in his book. Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, ((58)) up courage… I wrote that down after 1 read it. It ((59)) me as something important.

Li hardly spoke a word of English when she first arrived in the USA four years ago. But now, her ((52)) has become a reality. Li was only 15 years old when she first arrived. Within four years, though, she has managed to become so fluent in English that she doesn’t even have a foreign ((53)) ! She has won many awards, and has even ((54)) a book about her experiences in learning English. Li first saw the need for the book when she began ((55)) Chinese students at her school after they had just arrived in the country. She knew they were ((56)) the same troubles that she had experienced. “You think you are the only person feeling ((57)) when making mistakes,” she said when we interviewed her, “but everyone does it.” She calls her book Looking for Trouble. It means that the road ((58)) in learning a second language can be difficult. “I want others to know that it’s OK to make ((59)) ,” she said, “that nothing can be gained without risk.
