　　Silence Is Not Always Gold

　　“Silence is gold” is a popular saying in which many people have belief. To these people speaking too much is not a merit.

　　However，if you always keep silent，you will probably miss many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of silence. Last week I read an article written by an office lady. The company where she worked had two kinds of offices：cubicle office and window office. As a new employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues. Two years later she still worked there but some colleagues who came later than her had moved into the window office. She felt confused. One day one colleague told her that window office would not be granted without request. But believing that she would certainly gain one if she did a good job，the woman had never asked for it.

　　From the woman’s experience we learn that silence is not always gold.In the modern society one needs to express his/her mind and speak for his/her own interests.

　　—________？He has been working so hard on it.A．How comeB．So what

　　2．He sighed again and the failure in physics seemed to

　　have completely ________ his confidence.

　　A．injured

　　B．destroyed

　　4．________ is often the case with elder people，my grandma talked about my new hairstyle for at least 50 minutes nonstop.

　　A．The classroom is as crowded

　　C．As crowded the classroom is

　　6．________ five minutes ________，we arrived at the railway station with our heavy luggage.

　　A．There were；to go

　　B．It had；left

　　C．It was；left

　　10．The interview he paid little attention to ________ him the chance to work in this company.

　　A．being costB．be cost

　　C．costingD．cost

　　解析　interview后省略了關系代詞that，that在定語從句中作paid little attention to的賓語，所以主句缺少謂語動詞，故選D。

　　11．Many parents feel that their child’s IQ is ________ determines how well they are going to do in their future life.

　　A．whatB．that

　　C．whichD．where

　　解析　what在賓語從句中作is的表語，又在表語從句中作主語，具有雙重功能。

　　12．Do remember me to your parents，________？

　　A．will youB．don’t you

　　C．do you

　　D．won’t you

　　解析　考查反意疑問句。通常肯定祈使句的反意疑問句，疑問部分用will you或won’t you；否定祈使句的反意疑問句，疑問部分用will you；而此祈使句前面加助動詞do來表示強調，反意疑問句的疑問部分用will you。

　　13．Several years had passed ________ I finally realized the true value of friendship.

　　14．The society today offers the young generation more chances to ________ their talent and skills.

　　A．give outB．take in

　　C．show off

　　D．carry on

　　解析　考查動詞短語辨析。give out作“分發；發出(氣味、熱等)”講時，是及物動詞，作“用盡，精疲力竭”講時，是不及物動詞；take in意為“吸收；理解；欺騙”；show off意為“賣弄，炫耀”；carry on意為“繼續”。

　　15．It was the training ________ he had as a young man ________ made him such a good engineer.

　　A．what；thatB．which；thatC．that；which

　　D．that；what

　　解析　考查定語從句與強調句。這個強調句強調的是句子的主語the training，而the training又后接一個定語從句。

　　Stephen Hawking，the most famous theoretical physician after Albert Einstein，author of A Brief History of Time，was to attend the opening ceremony of a mathematics institute at Zhejiang University.

　　Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January,1942 in Oxford，England.When he was eight，his family moved to St Albans，a town about 20 miles north of London.At the age of eleven Stephen went to St Albans School，and then went on to Oxford University，his father’s old college.Stephen wanted to do Mathematics，although his father would have preferred Medicine.Mathematics was not available at Oxford University，so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first-class degree in Natural Science.

　　Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology (宇宙學)，because no one worked in that area in Oxford at that time.After gaining his PhD，first he became a research fellow，and later on a professional fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973，Stephen went to the department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics，and since 1979 he has held the post of professor of Mathematics，which was held by Isaac Newton in 1663.He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the US National Academy of Science.

　　Stephen Hawking has been working on the basic laws that govern the universe.He is particularly interested in unifying the General Relativity Theory and Quantum Theory to study black hole.

　　A great man of science sitting in the wheelchair，Stephen Hawking has suffered from a serious disease for decades.In 1963，he caught a disease that couldn’t be cured then.Up to 1974，he was able to feed himself，and a private nurse went to his house for an hour or two in the morning and evening.In 1985，he caught pneumonia (肺炎) and had an operation.After the operation，he lost his ability to speak.For a time，the only way he could communicate was to spell out words letter by letter，by raising his eyebrows when someone pointed to the right letter on a spelling card.
