II、Cloze

Directions: Fill in each of the blanks in the following passage with One appropriate work.(15%)

One argument used to support the idea that employment will continue to be the dominant form of work, and that   1   will eventually become available for all who want it , is

   2   working time will continue to fall. People in jobs will work fewer hours in the day, fewer days in the week, fewer weeks in the year, and fewer years in a lifetime,   3   they do now . this will mean that more jobs will be available for more people. This, it is said, is the

   4   we should set about restoring full employment.

    There is no   5   that something of this kind will happen. The shorter working week, longer holidays,   6   retirement, job-sharing—these and other ways of reducing the amount of time people spend on their jobs--   7   certainly likely to spread. A mix of part-time paid work and part-time unpaid work is likely to become a much more common work pattern than today, and a flexi-life pattern of work—involving paid employment at certain stages of life, but not at others—will become   8   .But it is surely unrealistic to assume that this will make it possible to restore full employment as the dominant   9   of work.

In the    10   place, so long as employment remains the overwhelmingly important form of work and    11   of income for most people today, it is very difficult to see how reductions in employees’ working time can take place on a sufficient scale for example, introducing a 35-hour working week. But, secondly, if changes of this king were to    12    place at a pace and on a scale sufficient to make it possible to share employment among all who wanted it , the resulting situation--   13   which most people would not be working in their jobs for more than two or three short days a week—could hardly continue to be one in which employment was still regarded as the only truly valid form of work. There would be so many people spending so    14   of their time on other activities, including other forms of useful work, that the primacy of employment would be bound to be called into question, at least to some    15   .

Passage1

The changes in language will continue forever, but no one knows sure      (1)

Who does the changing. One possibility is that children are

responsible. A professor of linguistic at the University of Hawaii,          (2)

Explores this in one of his recent books. Sometimes around 1880, a         (3)

language catastrophe occurred in Hawaii when thousands of emigrant       (4)

Workers were brought to the islands to work for the new sugar

industry. These people speaking different languages were unable to

Communicate with each other or with the native Hawaiians or the dominant

English-speaking owners of the plantations. So they first

spoke in Pidgin English—the sort of thing such mixed language            (5)

Populations have always done. A pidgin is not really a language at all. It is more like a set of verbal signals used to name objects and                           (6)

Without the grammatical rules needed for expressing thought and

ideas. And then, within a single generation, the whole mass of mixed people began speaking a totally new tongue: Hawaiian Creole. The                     (7)

new speech was contained ready-made words borrowed from all the         (8)

original tongues, but beard little or no resemblance to the                  (9)

predecessors in the rules used for stringing the words together.

A lthough generally regarded as primitive language, Hawaiian Creole        (10)

had a highly sophisticated grammar,

Passage2

I think it is true to saying that, in general, language teachers              (11)       

have paid little attention to the way sentences are used in combination

to form stretches of connected discourse. They have tend to take          (12)       

their cue from the grammarian and have concentrated to the teaching      (13)       

of sentences as self-contained units. It is true that these are often

presented in “contexts ”and strung together in dialogues and

reading passages, but these are essentially setting to make the
