　　Ⅰ.請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當的單詞。注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。

　　This is World Breastfeeding Week.The celebration is now in its nineteenth year.It grew out of a meeting organized by UNICEF(聯合國兒童基金會)to find ways to support breastfeeding.

　　Jill Hall supports breastfeeding.In fact，she could be feeding her son right now.

　　She gave birth to Thomas—or Tiggy，as his parents call him—at a hospital in Washington.They live in nearby McLean，Virginia.

　　Mother's milk is all Tiggy has eaten since he was born six weeks ago.And it will be all he eats for the first six months.His mother plans to follow the advice of the World Health Organization.

　　Jill Hall says，“As you can see I can't tell right now whether he wants to eat more or whether he needs to burp，so we might try the burping.”

　　Six-week-old babies generally need to be breastfed seven to nine times in a twenty-four-hour-period.

　　Jill Hall has two stepdaughters，but Thomas is her first experience with breastfeeding.And，in her words，“It's going great.”

　　Jill Hall says，“It's pretty natural.You kind of learn from each other，mom and baby，how it's all going to work.And that can take a little bit of trial and error.”

　　Josie Tullo knows all about that.She works for a lactation(哺乳期)consulting group in Fairfax，Virginia.She has more than twenty years of experience advising mothers.But she says babies themselves are great guides to nursing.

　　Josie Tullo says，“When babies are born，babies have an instinctive need and they're hard-wired to breastfeed.So basically，if we were to place a baby on the mother's abdomen，the baby would actually crawl up the mother's chest and choose which breast it would like to latch on to.The baby will open its mouth twice，the second time with a nice wide mouth，and lean in to grasp the breast.That's the mother's cue(暗示)to hug the baby to the breast.”

　　Doctor Bernadette Daelmans is an expert on newborn and child health development for the World Health Organization.She offers estimates from the WHO and UNICEF about how many young lives could be saved through breastfeeding.

　　Bernadette Daelmans says，“If children were exclusively breastfed for six months，and continued to breastfeed up to two years，with appropriate additional food from six months onwards，we could save 1.5 million children under five years of age out of the 8.8 million that we estimate to die currently every year.”

　　Breastfeeding reduces the chances of infections in the first few hours of life.Later，it reduces the chances of stomach and intestinal(腸內的)infections in babies.

　　Researchers say babies who are breastfed often grow up to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol as adults.They are less likely to be overweight and have type two diabetes.

　　Health studies also point out other benefits for the baby and the mother.

　　【解題導語】 母親是天底下最偉大的稱呼了，從十月懷胎到孩子的出生，新生兒在母親的痛苦、甜蜜與幸福中降臨了。最近一項科學研究表明，用母乳喂養能夠增進母嬰間的交流。所以，母親從我們出生的那一刻起就注定要成為我們這一生中最親密的人了。

　　．Breastfeeding　[綜合信息題。全文主要介紹了人們對母乳喂養的看法，故可知答案。注意首字母大寫。]

　　2．6-week-old/newly-born　[捕捉信息題。由第四段中的“Mother's milk is all Tiggy has eaten since he was born six weeks ago.And it will be all he eats for the first

　　six months.”可知答案。]

　　3．supporting　[轉換信息題。由第二段中的“Jill Hall supports breastfeeding.”可知答案。注意表達方式的改變。]

　　4．great/good　[捕捉/轉換信息題。由第七段中的“...Thomas is her first experience with breastfeeding.And，in her words，‘It's going great.’”可知。]

　　5．member　[轉換信息題。由第九段中的“She works for a lactation(哺乳期)consulting group in Fairfax，Virginia.”可知，她是該組織的一個成員。]

　　6．guides　[捕捉信息題。由第九段中的“But she says babies themselves are great guides to nursing.”可知。]

　　7．survive　[綜合信息題。從倒數第四段可以獲得有關信息。]

　　8．reduced　[捕捉信息題。由倒數第三段可知答案，注意這里用被動句式轉換表達文中的主動句式。]

　　9．lower　[捕捉信息題。從倒數第二段可知答案。]

　　0．less　[轉換信息題。從倒數第二段“They are less likely to be overweight and have type two diabetes.”可以獲得有關信息。注意這里用taking a less risk轉換表達are less likely。]

　　.請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當的單詞。注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。

　　Many people blame others for their failure in life.Successful people don't buy into this kind of thinking.Rather，their personal credo(信條)is“If it's to be，it's up to me！”

　　For example，Les Brown，abandoned by his parents at birth and labeled“ mentally retarded”by his schoolteachers had every reason for giving up on himself and his dreams.But when a high school teacher told him“someone else's opinion of you does not have to become your reality”，Brown realized at that moment that his future day was in his own hands.He went on to become a state legislator and author，and today earns $ 20,000 per hour as one of America's top motivational speakers.

　　What Brown understood is that there are certain things in life you can't control.But there are things you absolutely can control.Taking 100 percent responsibility for your life is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

　　Besides，many people want to have a big house，a luxury car or a million dollars in the bank.The question then is，are you willing to pay the price to get them?

　　This is one of the major differences between the successful and the unsuccessful.Les Brown says he has a callus on his left ear.“When I decided to get into speaking，I had no reputation，no credibility and no experience.So I had to call a lot of people.I called over a hundred people a day to ask for an opportunity to speak to their group.This callus is worth several million dollars.”

　　What's more，we should focus on what we are doing.Every day，we are faced with hundreds of tasks，messages and people all competing for our time.Focusing requires giving up some things at present because you know the time invested will pay off.

　　When Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen finished their first Chicken Soup for the Soul book，they were refused by 30 publishers.But instead of giving up they did three to four radio or newspaper or magazine interviews a day，five days a week，for a whole year.Eventually，a small publisher called and decided to take a chance and publish this book.It not only became a number one bestseller but also hatched an entire series of Chicken Soup books.

　　Finally，you should take the time to write out an action plan，or map，for how you are going to achieve your goals.Brain Tracy points out，“Goals that are not in writing are not goals at all.They are merely wishes or fantasies.”Most people try to reach their goals without taking the time to write out an action plan.This is like trying to drive from one city to another without a map.With a map in hand，you will not only enjoy the trip much more，but you are also virtually certain of arriving at your destination in the shortest time.

　　0．achieve　[根據最后一段尤其是第一句和最后一句可知答案。].請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當的單詞。注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。

　　Eurozone leaders will attend a special summit later Friday to conclude the aid process for debt-riddled Greece and draw lessons from the crisis they fear may spread.

　　The heads of state and government are expected to show their solidarity in solving the biggest problem the bloc(國家集團)has faced in more than a decade and stress the urgent need for tightening fiscal(財政的)rules within the group.

　　Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said the special summit was an opportunity for the leaders to demonstrate to the world that the 27-member states were in the same boat and moving in one direction，the direction of confidence，of budget deficit reduction，of economic growth，of gaining in competitiveness and of shared responsibility.

　　The summit is to be held days after finance ministers of the 16-member bloc agreed to activate a 110 billion euro aid-package to Greece on Sunday，among which the Eurozone will contribute 80 billion euros and the International Monetary Fund(IMF)the remaining 30 billion euros.

　　In return，the Greek government has pledged to take a series of austerity(緊縮)measures，including cuts to civil servants' salaries and pensions，and higher value added tax and retirement age.

　　The austerity program has met with strong opposition from the Greek public，and violent protests staged during the past two days led to concerns that Greece may not be able to carry out the austerity measures it promised and that the debt crisis may spread to other Eurozone countries，such as Spain and Portugal，which have similar public finance problems.
