Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths because they were afraid to see their own 1 bodies, and this moral concept delayed the 2 of the modern white-enameled bathtub for centuries. One can understand, why in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little 3 for human comfort only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about. Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit upright in, because that was the only posture 4 by society. Even Chinese emperors had to sit on a throne on which I would not think of remaining for more than five minutes, and for that matter the English kings were just as badly off. Cleopatra went about 5 on a couch carried by servants, because 6 she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should have seen her doing that, he would certainly have 7 her shins with a stick, as he did to one of his old disciples, Yuan Yan, when the latter was found sitting in an 8 posture. In the Confucian society in which we lived, gentlemen and ladies had to 9 themselves perfectly erect, at least on formal occasions, and any sign of putting one's leg up would be at once considered a sign of vulgarity and lack of 10.（分数：20.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：K）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：M）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：O）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：N）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：I）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：L）解析：解析：此处应填入名词，作介词of的宾语。

Ultraviolet light, electromagnetic fields, and atomic particles, for example, became known to us only as we devised 【C3】______ with which we could observe their effects. Consequently, our picture of the real world is always incomplete. Secondly, the observer is highly selective in choosing his【C4】______. Life is a narrative of ever new and often【C5】______ events. At any given moment, an individual is bombarded with sense experiences and can, if he desires, expose himself to more. But he is really interested in or concerned with only a few of these. Other experiences are consciously or【C6】______ screened out as irrelevant to the task at hand. For example, as we read a book, we are often surrounded by sounds and activities that we【C7】______, but by turning our attention to them we become conscious of their presence. What a scientist discovers depends, to a great extent, on what he is looking for—on the questions he is asking. Thus, academic disciplines differ in their study of human beings in large part【C8】______ they ask different questions. Human beings live, so to speak, in a house with only a few windows of tinted and curved glass, through which we see the outside world.

In a broader sense Expressionism is one of the main 2 of art in the late 19th and the 20th centuries. Its 3 subjective, personal self-expression is typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements. More specifically, Expressionism as a 4 style or movement refers to a number of German artists, as well as Austrian, French, and Russian ones, who became active in the years before World War I and remained so throughout much of the War period. The roots of the German Expressionist school lay in the works of Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, and James Ensor, each of 5 in the period 1885-1900 evolved a highly personal painting style. These artists used the expressive possibilities of color and line to 6 dramatic and emotion themes, to convey the qualities of fear, horror, etc. They broke away from the literal representation of nature in order to express more subjective outlooks or states of mind. The 7 of Expressionism was brought about by the vagueness of its longing for a better world, by its use of highly poetic language, and in general the intensely personal and 8 nature of its mode of presentation. The partial re-establishment of stability in Germany after 1924 and the growth of more overtly political styles of social realism 9 the movement's decline in the late 1920s. Expressionism was 10 killed by the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933. （分数：20.00） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：J） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：L） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：N） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：I） 解析：解析：空格处应填入副词，修饰killed，表明表现主义的消亡程度，definitively“最终地”符合语境；adequately“足够地”不能修饰killed，故排除。 A. hardly B. chemistry C. virtually D. counterparts E. tested F. geometry G. comfort H. less I. instinct J. inherently K. belief L. settle M. reached N. gained O. distinct It is well known that teenage boys tend to do better at math than girls, that male high school students are more likely than their female 1 to tackle advanced math courses like calculus, that virtually all the great mathematicians have been men.

One of the most striking ways in which chimpanzees biologically resemble humans 3 the structure of their brains. The chimpanzee, with his capacity for primitive reasoning, exhibits a type of intelligence more like that of humans than does any other 4 living today. The brain of the modern chimpanzee is 5 not too dissimilar to the brain that so many millions of years ago directed the behavior of the first ape man. For a long time, the fact that 6 man made tools was considered to be one of the major criteria to 7 them from other creatures. It is true that the chimpanzee does not fashion his tools to a regular and set pattern—but then, primitive man, before his development of stone tools, undoubtedly poked around with sticks and straws, at which 8 it seems unlikely that he made tools to a set pattern either. It is because of the close 9 in most people's minds of tools with man that special attention has always been focused upon any animal able to use an object as a tool; but it is important to realize that this 10, on its own, does not necessarily indicate any special intelligence in the creature concerned. （分数：20.00） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：N） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：I） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：O） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：L） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）

The use of efficient analog computers in the early 1950s led to further improvements. Airplane cockpits, controls, and instrument displays had by then become so individualized that it was no longer feasible to use a generalized trainer to prepare pilots to fly anything (16)_____ the simplest light planes. By the 1950s, the US Air Force was using simulators that precisely (17)_____ the cockpits of its planes. During the early 1960s (18)_____ digital and hybrid computers were adopted, and their speed and flexibility revolutionized simulation systems.

Rescuers tried to water down the whales and keep them cool. But all of them 1 died. Nearby, NATO naval forces were testing echo sounding devices meant to 2 an enemy's submarines, and public knowledge of the deaths ultimately came to strengthen suspicions of a link between whale distress and loud ocean noises. The theory is that the mammals seek to escape the roar of the 3, rush toward the surface and in some cases end up going ashore. For decades, environmentalists have worked to reduce the undersea noise—usually with 4 success, given the growing industrialization and militarization of the oceans. They have filed suits and waged letter-writing campaigns, including a recent petition that asks the United States Navy to 5 its testing of underwater sound equipment. The discovery by biologists in Hawaii that whales can decrease the sensitivity of their hearing to protect their ears from loud noise 6 another dimension to the debate. Michael Jasny, a senior policy analyst, called the research fascinating and said he hoped it would prove 7 in protecting whale hearing from these threats. But he characterized the finding as a work in progress that posed many 8 questions. "A lot more work needs to be done," he said. "Could it be replicated in the wild? It's a huge question." Even if whales could learn to decrease the sensitivity of their hearing, Mr. Jasny said, that would 9 only a relatively small part of the oceanic noise problem. "It's important to understand that it's 10," he said of the proposed method. "It won't be a silver bullet."（分数：20.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：L）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：I）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：J）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：O）解析：解析：此处填入形容词作表语。
