Cloze 1
What is genuine friendship? Some classical(
古典的.经典的
)
(1) views may help us understand the notion(
观念
) (2)
of friendship more clearly. Aristotle distinguishes genuine friendship from two other forms: one based on
mutual utility(
效用
) (3) and the other on pleasure. While the ground (4) for the latter two forms of friendship is
closely related to material benefits, short-term interests or age, genuine friendship occurs (5) only between
those who are similar in their goodness (6). Cicero, another ancient scholar, believes that true friends' actions
and lives should leave no question as to (7) their honor, purity, equity and liberality. Whether or not one
possesses(
拥有
) (8) any superiority over the other, both must regard themselves as equals of the other and try
their best to preserve(
维护;维持
) (9) the friendship. Moreover, true friends are bound(
结合
) (10) together, as a
friend is said to be a mirror (11) in which you may perceive and know yourself. When virtuous(
品德高尚的)
(12)
friends are bonded together by a commitment(
保证，承诺
) (13) to the good, they can recognize each other's
moral excellence (14) and fulfill their self- improvement.
Cloze 2
Today young people tend to jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste(
匆忙.催促
) (1) that they fail to
realize the essence of true love. Given the current state of affairs（
事件
） (2), we need to consider more closely
the nature of love. True love has to be distinguished（
杰出的
） (3) from the pleasures of the flesh. True love
means a meeting of minds (4) and it takes time to blossom（
兴旺
） (5). People who are in true love focus more
on inner charm（
魅力
） (6) than on physical beauty, more on intimacy（
亲密
） (7) than on closeness, more on
emotion (8) than on passion, more on sharing than on acquiring（
取得
） (9). As true love happens once in a
lifetime, they have in their minds the ideals (10) of the relationship. They share mutual respect, admiration（
钦
佩
） (11) and plenty of romance, so their relationship is lasting (12) and meaningful. Preserving true love
requires effort, however. You should gift your object of affection（
影响
） (13) your time, company, support and
friendship; you should give yourself and your beloved time and space to forge（
伪造.铸造
） (14) a life-long bond;
and you should honor (15) your commitments. In short, you should devote yourself to your love. Your devotion

to love will, in return, bring you an overwhelming(
势不可挡
) (16) joy.
Cloze 3
It is our natural desire to be happy. Throughout human history, people as a

whole (1) have been going after
happiness.

However (2), the pursuit of happiness is often accompanied with dissatisfaction and frustration. This
is in part (3) due to our different understanding of happiness. In effect (4), our sense of happiness is

derived(
起
源
) (5) from our definition of happiness. Some believe that happiness can be purchased(
获得
) (6) with wealth.
From this point of view, the better off(
境况较好的
) (7) one becomes, the happier one gets. Therefore, to be
happy, they

take pains (8) to get rich. But wealth does not

necessarily (9) lead to happiness. Others believe that
happiness has something

to do (10) with status — a system of ranking. Thus, one’s happiness is built upon his
favorable comparison(
比较
) (11) with others. But since society cannot raise its position relative (12) to itself,
unhappiness is thus inevitable
(不可避免的)
(13). So it can be said that both views

serve (14) more as the barrier to
true happiness than as the guide. To

seek (15) true happiness, we must change our inner attitude and strive for
the common good of all human beings.

AIDS is a terrible disease. It poses a

threat(
威胁
) (1) to all the human beings without caring whether you are
black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. But what is at risk(
处于危险中
) (2) now is not just
the people

infected(
受感染的
) (3) with the disease. Human civilization itself is being threatened. This is because
the whole society tolerates both ignorance of and prejudice(
偏见.损害
) (4) against HIV or AIDS. Once
diagnosed (
被诊断
) as HIV-positive, the victims are isolated（
孤立的
） (5) or treated as outcasts. They are
believed to have

contracted（
收缩的
） (6) something evil or to have entered some alien state of being. As a result,
these poor people have to

shelter（
掩蔽
） (7) the flickering（
闪烁的
）candle of life from the cold wind of rejection
by their family members. When they die of the disease, their families dare not whisper the word AIDS. They
just

grieve（
悲伤
） (8) silently. Thus, our prejudice and silence have helped the disease

along (9). Now HIV
marches firmly towards AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its pathway（
途径
）(10) with the
bodies of the young. To guard against the disease effectively, we must take this

issue (11) seriously. People
should be educated to bring (12) those negative attitudes to an end. We should not see AIDS as something

evil
（
邪恶
） (13) and the patients as alien. Instead, we should concern ourselves with（
涉及
） (14) the prevention
of the disease and render strong support (15) to the patients with more compassion. Only in this way can we
have a better chance of winning the war against AIDS.
Cloze 5
Mankind hopes for a better world to live in. To this end (1), man has to confront the inevitable conflicts that the
future holds

in store (2). Since education plays an

indispensable（
必需的
） (3) role in managing those conflicts,
the following four pillars of education are proposed. Learning to live together calls for (4) an understanding of
others and the awareness of the

diversity（
差异
） (5), similarities and interdependence of all people so that
people can

implement（
工具
） (6) joint projects. In accordance with（
和谐
） (7) the global changes brought about
by scientific progress, the emphasis（
重点
） (8) in learning to know should be put on

combining（
联合
） (9) a
broad general education and the opportunity to study a small number of subjects in depth (10). Associated with
the issue of occupational training, learning to do aims to equip (11) people to cope with various situations and
work in teams. The fourth pillar is learning to be, which focuses on the complete development of one's
potentials when he goes after（
追求
） (12) an independent, critical way of thinking and judgment. Given the
convenient access（
接近
） (13) to knowledge in the information era, everyone longs for a way to

get the most

out of (14) their own specific educational environment. These four interrelated pillars can help us make the best
out of education and attain our future ideals.
Cloze 6
When we are suddenly

transplanted（
移居
） (1) abroad, we may lose the peace of mind we need for everyday
work and life. All the familiar

cues（
提示
） (2) disappear including words, gestures, facial expressions, customs,
or norms. We reject the foreign environment and slip into the

tendency（
倾向
） (3) to believe that our culture,
race and nation form the center of the world. The

frustration（
挫折
） (4) and anxiety（
焦虑
） that can be

attributed（
把...归因于
）(5) to the loss of familiar signs are symptoms of culture shock. One of the effective

cures
（
治愈
） (6) for this ailment is to know something about the nature of culture and its relationship to the
individual. We should bear in mind that we are born with the

capacity（
能力
） (7) to learn culture and use it. The
culture of any people is the product of history and is

built up (8) over time. It is by means of (9) culture that we
learn to adapt to the physical environment and to the people with whom we associate. Therefore, it is due to (10)
our own lack of understanding of other people's cultural background and of the means of communication that
we can not orient（
定向.指引
） ourselves to (11) the host country. Another quick way to get over (12) culture
shock is to know the language. Once we are equipped with the language, a whole new world of cultural
meanings opens up (13) for us. We will begin to find out not only what people do and how they do things, but
also what their interests are. In addition(
另外
) (14), it helps us to be a participant observer by joining the
activities of the people and sharing in their responses, whether this be a carnival, a religious ritual, or some
economic activity.

When the first modern Olympic Games took shape(
成形
)(1) in 1896, the Olympic creed read, ―The most
important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to

take part(
参加
) (2), just as the most important thing
in life is not the triumph (
成功,业绩
)(3), but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have

conquered (
得胜,胜
利
)(4), but to have fought well.‖ The Olympic Games feature(
特征
) (5) competition between top athletes. To
come in (6) first is a thrill(
激动
), to be better than your rivals is an ego massage (
满足自尊
), to cheer for

champion (7) is a collective celebration. But the meaning of the game – the real end of our aspiration – is to be
better than we are.

To this end(
为这目的
) (8), Olympians go through a grind of training relentlessly. They
squeeze in(
挤出
) (9) every possible minute to practise so that when their big moments come, they are ready to

bring out (10) their best, especially when they realize they are competing on behalf of(
以某人名义
) (11) their
countries. When these athletes mount(
登上
) (12) the podium to receive their medals, spectators keep cheering
because they believe they may have just

witnessed(
目击者
) (13)the greatest athletic – and human – achievement
in history.

） (6) than on physical beauty, more on intimacy（
亲密
） (7) than on closeness, more on
emotion (8) than on passion, more on sharing than on acquiring（
取得
） (9). As true love happens once in a
lifetime, they have in their minds the ideals (10) of the relationship. They share mutual respect, admiration（
钦
佩
） (11) and plenty of romance, so their relationship is lasting (12) and meaningful. Preserving true love
requires effort, however. You should gift your object of affection（
影响
） (13) your time, company, support and
friendship; you should give yourself and your beloved time and space to forge（
伪造.铸造
） (14) a life-long bond;
and you should honor (15) your commitments. In short, you should devote yourself to your love. Your devotion

to love will, in return, bring you an overwhelming(
势不可挡
) (16) joy.

It is our natural desire to be happy. Throughout human history, people as a

whole (1) have been going after
happiness.

However (2), the pursuit of happiness is often accompanied with dissatisfaction and frustration. This
is in part (3) due to our different understanding of happiness. In effect (4), our sense of happiness is

derived(
起
源
) (5) from our definition of happiness. Some believe that happiness can be purchased(
获得
) (6) with wealth.
From this point of view, the better off(
境况较好的
) (7) one becomes, the happier one gets. Therefore, to be
happy, they

take pains (8) to get rich. But wealth does not

necessarily (9) lead to happiness. Others believe that
happiness has something

to do (10) with status — a system of ranking. Thus, one’s happiness is built upon his
favorable comparison(
比较
) (11) with others. But since society cannot raise its position relative (12) to itself,
unhappiness is thus inevitable
(不可避免的)
(13). So it can be said that both views

serve (14) more as the barrier to
true happiness than as the guide. To

seek (15) true happiness, we must change our inner attitude and strive for
the common good of all human beings.

AIDS is a terrible disease. It poses a

threat(
威胁
) (1) to all the human beings without caring whether you are
black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. But what is at risk(
处于危险中
) (2) now is not just
the people

infected(
受感染的
) (3) with the disease. Human civilization itself is being threatened. This is because
the whole society tolerates both ignorance of and prejudice(
偏见.损害
) (4) against HIV or AIDS. Once
diagnosed (
被诊断
) as HIV-positive, the victims are isolated（
孤立的
） (5) or treated as outcasts. They are
believed to have

contracted（
收缩的
） (6) something evil or to have entered some alien state of being. As a result,
these poor people have to

shelter（
掩蔽
） (7) the flickering（
闪烁的
）candle of life from the cold wind of rejection
by their family members. When they die of the disease, their families dare not whisper the word AIDS. They
just

grieve（
悲伤
） (8) silently. Thus, our prejudice and silence have helped the disease

along (9). Now HIV
marches firmly towards AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its pathway（
途径
）(10) with the
bodies of the young. To guard against the disease effectively, we must take this

issue (11) seriously. People
should be educated to bring (12) those negative attitudes to an end. We should not see AIDS as something

evil
（
邪恶
） (13) and the patients as alien. Instead, we should concern ourselves with（
涉及
） (14) the prevention
of the disease and render strong support (15) to the patients with more compassion. Only in this way can we
have a better chance of winning the war against AIDS.

Mankind hopes for a better world to live in. To this end (1), man has to confront the inevitable conflicts that the
future holds

in store (2). Since education plays an

indispensable（
必需的
） (3) role in managing those conflicts,
the following four pillars of education are proposed. Learning to live together calls for (4) an understanding of
others and the awareness of the

diversity（
差异
） (5), similarities and interdependence of all people so that
people can

implement（
工具
） (6) joint projects. In accordance with（
和谐
） (7) the global changes brought about
by scientific progress, the emphasis（
重点
） (8) in learning to know should be put on

combining（
联合
） (9) a
broad general education and the opportunity to study a small number of subjects in depth (10). Associated with
the issue of occupational training, learning to do aims to equip (11) people to cope with various situations and
work in teams. The fourth pillar is learning to be, which focuses on the complete development of one's
potentials when he goes after（
追求
） (12) an independent, critical way of thinking and judgment. Given the
convenient access（
接近
） (13) to knowledge in the information era, everyone longs for a way to

get the most

out of (14) their own specific educational environment. These four interrelated pillars can help us make the best
out of education and attain our future ideals.

When we are suddenly

transplanted（
移居
） (1) abroad, we may lose the peace of mind we need for everyday
work and life. All the familiar

cues（
提示
） (2) disappear including words, gestures, facial expressions, customs,
or norms. We reject the foreign environment and slip into the

tendency（
倾向
） (3) to believe that our culture,
race and nation form the center of the world. The

frustration（
挫折
） (4) and anxiety（
焦虑
） that can be

attributed（
把...归因于
）(5) to the loss of familiar signs are symptoms of culture shock. One of the effective

cures
（
治愈
） (6) for this ailment is to know something about the nature of culture and its relationship to the
individual. We should bear in mind that we are born with the

capacity（
能力
） (7) to learn culture and use it. The
culture of any people is the product of history and is

built up (8) over time. It is by means of (9) culture that we
learn to adapt to the physical environment and to the people with whom we associate. Therefore, it is due to (10)
our own lack of understanding of other people's cultural background and of the means of communication that
we can not orient（
定向.指引
） ourselves to (11) the host country. Another quick way to get over (12) culture
shock is to know the language. Once we are equipped with the language, a whole new world of cultural
meanings opens up (13) for us. We will begin to find out not only what people do and how they do things, but
also what their interests are. In addition(
另外
) (14), it helps us to be a participant observer by joining the
activities of the people and sharing in their responses, whether this be a carnival, a religious ritual, or some
economic activity.

When the first modern Olympic Games took shape(
成形
)(1) in 1896, the Olympic creed read, ―The most
important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to

take part(
参加
) (2), just as the most important thing
in life is not the triumph (
成功,业绩
)(3), but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have

conquered (
得胜,胜
利
)(4), but to have fought well.‖ The Olympic Games feature(
特征
) (5) competition between top athletes. To
come in (6) first is a thrill(
激动
), to be better than your rivals is an ego massage (
满足自尊
), to cheer for

champion (7) is a collective celebration. But the meaning of the game – the real end of our aspiration – is to be
better than we are.

To this end(
为这目的
) (8), Olympians go through a grind of training relentlessly. They
squeeze in(
挤出
) (9) every possible minute to practise so that when their big moments come, they are ready to

bring out (10) their best, especially when they realize they are competing on behalf of(
以某人名义
) (11) their
countries. When these athletes mount(
登上
) (12) the podium to receive their medals, spectators keep cheering
because they believe they may have just

witnessed(
目击者
) (13)the greatest athletic – and human – achievement
in history.
