There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become __50__ to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a(n) __51__ view of a college career.There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.The most obvious one is to give knowledge—fairly __52__ knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __53__the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your __54__ for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved __55__ by new knowledge.__56__, we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind—a willingness to accept uncertainty, and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.In addition to these __57__ qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of __58__ time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom—in courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much __59__ will occur outside the lecture hall—on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert halls, and so forth.These are some of the __60__ of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.To begin with, I hope that we will think __61__ about what we want to accomplish here. It would be __62__ for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __63__ your efforts.My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed（黯然失色） by the __64__ of countless other people on our planet.50.

As a result, it killed an 50 forty million people. This disease has come to be known as the Black Death. Its victims suffered a horribly painful death 51 by fever and dying, blackened flesh.Although they are not certain, many historians agree that the Black Death probably originated in China and spread through trade 52 , carried by fleas (跳蚤)found on rats. Rats are very common in cities, so these areas were hit the hardest. The disease passed to humans when the fleas would jump from the rats to a human host.Every social group suffered from the Black Death---it was not a discriminating (有识别力的)disease. But those who lived in rural settings were sometimes 53 , as were the wealthy, who had less 54 with outsiders and could afford to move to more remote areas in an 55 to spare themselves.The Black Death had many long-term 56 . Certain areas of Europe were nearly 57 after it, including some of its prosperous cities. For example, Bremen, Germany, lost almost 7,000 of its 12,000 inhabitants; Florence, Italy, lost 40,000 of its nearly 90,000; and Paris lost more than 50,000 of its 180,000. Major cities had to create mass graveyards where the dead could be buried. European population only began to 58 again in the last decades of the 15th century.The Black Death also brought about 59 changes. As large numbers of peasants died, there was a shortage of labor. Peasants had 60 spent generations working for the same family, but after the plague hit, they began to take advantage of the labor 61 . Workers 62 many times their usual pay for work and would sometimes move to a new lord or noblewho offered 63 incentives (刺激;鼓励) and working conditions. In this way, the Black Death caused the landowning aristocracy (贵族) to lose much of their power and social 64 .50. A. enormous B. evaluated C. estimated D. expected51.

Gone are the golden days when eager crowds were packed on wooden benches in poor buildings, which seemed to be about to 50 in the next minute. Audience were staring,with great interest, at the funny and amusing movements of silent figures on the screen. It was only through the body movements and facial expressions that the characters' feelings could be 51 to the audience .However ,film goers all the same turned a blind eye to the 52 cinema surroundings and seemed crazy about almost all the films. Box office hits were a(n) 53 thing and stories about movie stars took full coverage of the newspaper. They were received with all 54 wordings compared with today's pitiful stars who are all the time alert to such news as divorces or affairs.Nowadays it is quite easy to find a cinema that exceeds the hotel luxury. Cinema are spacious , well-lit places where one can kill time in comfort. Small favours offered by modern cinemas such as the well-printed booklets ,which are 55 available , the mouth-watering snacks on sale and even the gifts are all sending the implied message to the audience that the film to watch will provide the equivalent 56 . Audience, on the other hand, don't always 57 the story. Before a film is released ,the potential spectator is usually exposed to a(n) 58 of advertisements. Film trailers(预告片）are seen everywhere and crew interviews are televised. And in temptingpeople to enter cinemas ,second to none is 59 .People rely much on friends' advice in choosing films.Once the audience have settled on the chair, the cinema is learning from the theatre . The projectionists（放映员) are to give the audience time to prepare themselves for the film. Talk first degrades to a whisper then 60 altogether. Spotlights are focused on the curtains which are drawn slowly apart, often in the 61 of music, to reveal title of the film. Every detail has been designed so thoughtfully that the spectator will never actually see the 62 screen, which will remind him all too sharply that what he is about to see is nothing but different shadows flashing on the white ,However much the cinema tries to 63 theatre ,it fully succeeds .Nothing can 64 the awe and sense of expectation felt by the audience as the curtain is slowly raised.A.disappearB.collapseC.freezeD.riseA.translatedB.respondedC.inventedD.appliedA.specialB.inferiorC.standardD.looseA.uniqueB.memorableC.painfulD.normalA.positiveB.personalC.flexibleD.heatedA.temporarilyB.carefullyC.readilyD.traditionally A.luxury B.expense C.convinience rmartionA.proveB.buyC.investigateD.conveyA.explosionB.promotionC.shiftD.spreadA.walls of earsB.seeing is believingC.word of mouthD.grave of teeth A.drives out B.wears out C.pays off D.dies awaypanyB.introductionC.benefitD.endA.decoratedB.distinctC.blankD.mechanicalA.imitateB.guideC.exploitD.replaceA.refer topare withC.suffer fromD.persist in Section A50~54 BABDA 55~59 CABAC 60~64 DACAB（长宁嘉定）Avraham Kadar, a physician, faced the challenge of explaining complex medical concepts to children be was treating for many years. ___50____, he found a solution in 1999, and teachers have been gaining the benefits ever since.Kadar created BrainPOP, a(n)___51____ program consisting of humorous animated (动画的) videos in which a man named Tim and his robot friend Moby__52____ various subjects.

As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question on more than one occasion. The answer, I concluded, was __50__. When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently (胜任地), treat just __51__ or better than any other surgeon” -- then, and not until then, you are indeed a surgeon. I was __52__ that point.Take, __53__, the emergency situations that we met almost every night．The first few months of the year I had __54__ the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical resolution to be __55__. Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular __56__, I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d __57__ all the facts of the case and, often, wonder if I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the morning, after lying __58__ for an hour, I’d get out of bed, dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only way I could find the __59__ of mind I needed to relax.精品文档Now, in the last month of my residency, __60__ was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to accept this as a __61__ problem for a surgeon.I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was certain to be a __62__ one. It was a nice feeling.This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is -- but a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the __63__ and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and prob ably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it. And it is, I am sure, what a person has to make a(n) __64__ in life.50. A. self-service B. self-appreciation C. self-respect D. self-confidence51.
