For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word ‎ that best fits each blank.‎ Searching the skies For thousands of years,scientists have wondered about the spots of light in the night sky .In A.D.125,Ptolemy,a Greek astronomer living in Egypt,claimed that the planets and the sun moved around Earth. (11) other astronomers had different ideas, Ptolemy's theory was held for almost15.00years In the 1540s,the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus published many books,one ‎(12) explained how Earth and the other planets orbit the sun. In the early 1600s.Galileo proved that Copernicus was right. Galileo made his observations by (13) (use) a telescope (望远镜)。 He was the first astronomer to use one.‎ Today, astronomers use telescopes that are much (14) (powerful) than Galileo's. In 1990,the Hubble Space Telescope began orbit Earth .the Hubble telescope studies some rays from distant stars and galaxies (银河系)， These are the rays that never reach Earth, because they (15) ‎ (stop) by Earth's atmosphere .The Hubble telescope has found evidence of a black hole-a(16) (fill) star that takes in all matter the comes near (17) .The Hubble telescope has also sent back information about some very young stars. (18) (study)y planets in our solar system, scientists have launched unarmed space probes (探测器) In 1997, the Pathfinder mission landed a small vehicle named Sojourner on Mars. So far, Sojourner(19) (learn) that the composition of Mars is more like Earth than scientists had thought.(20) Earth, Mars has a melted core. Pressure bubbles up from that core and sometimes causes volcanoes. Section B 9% Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.‎ A.agreements B.attack C.complex D.especially ‎ ‎ E.reasonable F.individual G.affect H.necessarily I.link J.prevent The Teeth-Heart Connection You've probably heard the list of factors that put you at risk for heart disease: smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise and so on. But did you know that the health of your gums (牙龈)may also 21 your probability of developing heart disease? More than 120 studies have looked into the possible 22 between gum disease and heart disease.Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease.This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't 23 cause heart disease. Doctors and scientists have offered a number of possible reasons for this connection.One common factor is inflammation (炎症)， which occurs when the body senses a danger and sends white blood cells to 24 it This leads to painful swelling. which is the main sign of gum disease.While inflammation hasn’t been shown to cause heart disease .it often goes with it .And as it turns out .the same types of bacteria(细菌)often lead to inflammation in both diseases. It's also possible that the connection has less to do with biology than with the habits of a(n) 25 Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth will protect your heart 26 heart disease. So what does this mean for you health? Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn't certain, don't assume (臆断) that taking care of your teeth will protect you heat. Certainly, brushing is no replacement for exercise and a healthy diet, but keeping your mouth healthy and avoiding gum disease are still 27 goals to work towards. They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your beautiful smile complete. This research does mean that if you have gum disease, you should get your heart checked. This is 28 ‎ true if you are at risk of heart disease for others reasons ,such as smoking . Who would have though that your mouth and you hear would be connected? The body is a(m) 29 and mysterious thing, so do all you can to preserve it III.Reading Comprehension Section A 15% Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words ;or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase the best fits the context.

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done.When you want to avoid interruptions at work,there are several ways to handle things.Let's take a look at them now. If you're busy,don't feel bad about saying no.Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time.‎ When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back ‎ during that time or that you'll find them then. It's important that you let them know when you'll be available.It can help to eliminate(消除)future interruptions. When you need to talk to someone,don’t do it in your own office. If you're in the other person's office or in a public area ,it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are. If you have a door to your office,make good use of it.Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not.If someone knocks and it's not an important matter,excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint(暗示) that when the door is closed, you're not to be disturbed.
