Cloze(10 marks)Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word.Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways:according to the context,by using the correct form of the given word,or by using the given letter(s)of the word.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.The more you know about how words are formed,the(46)（）(speedy)your learning.Instead of memorizing each word(47)sep（）you start to notice patterns.You notice,perhaps,that nouns and verbs are identified by their endings or,if you are learning a language with characters,you notice that(48)（）(know)small units of meaning can help you to understand new and more complicated characters.Take,for example,the Chinese word for“rock”as the figure shows,the top start of the 第 13 页 共 26 页 symbol is the word for mountain;the lower part means stone,so that together they mean a rocky cliff.Once you know that,you will be able to understand many other words made up(49)those parts.The(50)（）(fix)phrases of the language are the groups of words which have a meaning of their own beyond the meaning of the individual words in them.In English,for example,native speakers know the(51)dif（）between putting someone down,putting them up,putting them off and so on,but these meanings are a nightmare for the language learner.The next level of language knowledge(52)rel（）to the way words are put together in sentences or utterances.We use the word utterances because of course when people speak they do not always speak in(53)（）(tradition)sentences.Together these rules make up(54)（）is called the syntax of a language.In many languages,word order plays a big part in meaning.In the sentence“Man bites dog,”we know who did the biting because of the word order.Change the order of the two nouns around and the man will(55)（）suffering the injuries.Part IV Reading Comprehension(30 marks)There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by several questions.Respond to the questions using information from the passage.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A(10 marks)第 14 页 共 26 页 Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Smallpox is an acute,highly infectious disease,producing high fever and a pinkish rash of spots.When they dry up,they leave ugly scars on the skin.For centuries it killed the rich and poor alike,spreading fast when it took hold in an area,and often seriously disfiguring or blinding those sufferers who escaped death.It was not until 1980 that the World Health Organization declared that the disease was eradicated,after the final recorded case in Somalia in 1977.(56)（）It eventually offered reliable protection and caused smallpox to disappear completely.Jenner was born in 1749 and,after studying medicine,lived and worked as a doctor in a small village,Berkeley,in rural Gloucestershire.There he saw people suffering both from smallpox and from cowpox,a weaker,much less dangerous form of infection,frequently found in cows.He made the interesting observation that the local people who caught cowpox because of their daily contact with cattle did not catch smallpox,even if close friends and family were infected.By experimenting on local people,therefore,Edward Jenner was able to prove,in 1796,that injections of the cowpox virus could provide protection against smallpox.(57)（）Although other studies were being carried out elsewhere in Britain during the eighteenth century,Jenner made the clinical breakthrough.The immunity he provided against one of historys most terrifying diseases brought him fame and fortune.(58)（）He was also given the freedom of the City of London in 1805,an honour not lightly granted.He died in 1823.第 15 页 共 26 页 Smallpox was not finally wiped out,however,until over a century later.By this time,vaccination had become a compulsory part of many countries public health programmes.(59)（）This can be partly explained by the fact that complete eradication required a concerted effort from all countries.In the village of Berkeley,there is a museum which aims to remind people of Edward Jenners pioneering achievement.(60)（）Questions 56 to 60 Choose from the sentences A G the one which best fits each gap of 5660.There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A.The lives of millions of people have been saved by his careful observation and clinical work.B.After a lifetime of hard work,Jenner finally retired to the country,still hoping for the recognition he felt he had earned.C.He was paid generous sums by the government when the authorities realized the importance of his achievement.D.It may seem surprising that Jenners great discovery was not fully exploited at the time.E.This process was called vaccination,from vacca,the Latin word for cow.F.The first symptoms of smallpox usually appear 12 to 14 days after you are infected.G.Over two hundred years ago the English physician Edward Jenner discovered the process of vaccination.第 16
