高中英语完型填空

According to Jessica Hagy,author of How to Be Interesting,it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.

  16     ，if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.

People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with aquestion other than "What do you do for a living?", you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to.       17      . it can bring in "I have this old, broken-down vehicle" or "I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just opens up conversation.

        1 8 ? If you can't take their wine away , you should certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）. If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 19           .

And what about that other dinner-party killer :awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking  again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬). 20        .Just quickly turn around and say,"This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it."

So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.

A.How  do  you know  the host

B.The  first step is to go  exploring

C.If  you  ask  the  question" How  did  you get  here?"

D.Be  prepared  to have  awkward conversations  with  strangers

E.Or  turn the conversation  into a topic where  they  have little to say

F.What about that person who has  had too much to  drink or won't stop talking

G.He  or she  is the person who is feeling  the weight of that awkwardness  the most

The Xi'an City Wall is the most complete city wall that has survived China's long history. It 41 (build) originally to protect the city 42 the Tang dynasty and has now been completely restored (修复). It is possible 43 (walk) or bike the entire 14 kilometers.

We accessed the wall through the South Gate. The wall is 12 meters high and from here you can see streams of people moving inside and outside the City Wall.

After 44 (spend) some time looking at all the defensive equipment at the wall, we decided it was time for some action and what 45 (good) than to ride on a piece of history!

We 46 (hire) our bikes from the rental place at the South Gate. My bike was old and shaky 47 did the job. It took us about 3 hours to go all 48 way around the Xi'an City Wall. Supposedly you can do it in two hours, but we stopped at the different gates and 49 (watchtower) to fake pictures or just to watch the local people going about their 50 (day) routines.

It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.

Burchill was 21 at the hotel on business and planning to 22 some friends in the area. They had asked him to 23 some pepperoni (辣香肠) from back east. So he 24 a suitcase full of pepperoni. As he was 25 that it would be too warm, he 26 it out on the table near an open window. He thought his pepperoni was 27 and well chilled (冷却) and he 28 .

That's when things went 29    ."I remember walking down the long 30 and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls," Burchill said in a recent letter of 31 to the 4-star hotel. "The seagulls immediately went 32 . They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 33 at the same time, and pepperoni-everywhere. The curtains were falling down, the lamps were falling down, It was a real 34 .

Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion (莽撞).

"I have 35 and I admit responsibility of my 36    ," he said in the letter. "I come to you, 37 , to apologize for the-damage I had 38 caused and to ask you to 39 my lifetime ban from the hotel."

His letter 40 . Banned from the hotel since 2001.Burchill is now welcome to come back, the Fairmont said.

Swap, Don't shop!

You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor?     16     . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.

●Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.     17    , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

●      18      . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.

●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.      19     . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them-things always look different when you put them on.

●Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go," or turn on a certain song, or whatever.     20    . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!

A．	Less people than that
B．	Hold a clothing swap
C．	If two people are competing
D．	Just keep music playing throughout
E．	Donate whatever clothes are left over
F．	Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G．	Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

In the 1960s，Douglas McGregor，one of the key thinkers in the art of management，developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y．Theory X is the idea that people instinctively （51）　 work and will do anything to avoid it．Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work．

In any case，despite so much evidence to the （52）　　，many managers still agree to Theory X．They believe，（53）　　，that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively，or that decisions must be imposed from （54）　　 without consultation．This，of course，makes for authoritarian （专制的） managers．

Different cultures have different ways of （55）　　 people．Unlike authoritarian management，some cultures，particularly in Asia，are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to （56）　　 to this process．This is management by the collective opinion．Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things，which are based on general （57）　　．Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional （58）　　 managers cannot．

A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative，to make decisions on their own without（59）　managers first．This empowerment （授权） has been part of the trend towards downsizing：（60）　　 the number of management layers in companies．After de﹣layering in this way，a company may be （61）　　 with just a top level of senior managers，front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public．Empowerment takes the idea of delegation （委托） much further than has （62）　　been the case．Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to （63）　　 that the overall business plan is being followed，and that operations become more profitable under the new organization，rather than less．

Another trend is off﹣site or （64）　　 management，where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses．Project managers evaluate the （65）　　 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects，rather than the amount of time they spend on them．

Golden Rules of Good Design

What makes good design？Over the years，designers and artists have been trying to （41） 　the essentials of good design．They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design．There are four as follows．

Less is more．This saying is associated with the German﹣born architect Mies van der Rohe．In his Modernist view，beauty lies in simplicity and elegance，and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means．Design should avoid unnecessary （42） 　 　

More is not a bore．The American﹣born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly，the result is （43） 　 　design．Post﹣Modernist designers began to （44） 　 　with decoration and color again．Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen （45） 　 　such as ovens and kettles．

Fitness for purpose．Successful product design takes into consideration a product's function，purpose，shape，form，color，and so on．The most important result for the user is that the product does what is （46） 　 　．For example，think of a（n） （47） 　 　desk lamp．It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user．It also needs to be stable．Most importantly，it needs to （48） 　 　light where it is needed．

From follows emotion．This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger．He believes design must take into（49） 　 　the sensory side of our nature﹣sight，smell，touch and taste．These are as important as rational（理性的） thinking．When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste，we appreciate a cool﹣looking device that allows us to easily（50） 　 the toothpaste onto our brush．

Eventually all suns will        their fuel, explode and then become cold and dark．Matter itself will disappear and the universe will become        for the rest of time．
This was the general drift of my thoughts as my wife and I      my eldest son as a freshman at college．That moment at the dorm is      at the kindergarten door, at the gates of summer camp, at every occasion of parting and      ．But it comes surprising, taking what you      most．
Our ancestors thought this parting should take place        ．In many societies adolescents were sent away to live with friends or relatives right after adolescence．This was supposed to       the conflicts that come from        teenagers and their parents very near．
Eighteen years is not enough．The days pass uncounted, until they        ．The adjustment is upsetting．My son is on the      side --- observant, thoughtful, a practitioner of companionable silence．I know this is hard on him as well．He will be homesick．Among the greatest        of college students is they won’t have a room at home to return to．
But with due respect to my son’s feelings, I have the              of parting．I know something he doesn’t --- incomprehensible to the young．He is experiencing the             that come with beginnings．His life is starting for real．I have begun the long letting go．Put another way: He has a wonderful future in which my part      decreases．
I’m sure my father realized it at a(n)      moment．And I certainly didn’t notice or understand．At first, he was a giant who held my hand and        my sky．Then a middle-aged man who paid my bills．Now, decades after his passing, a much-loved      ．But I can remember the last time I hugged him in his home, where I always had a room．I can only hope to leave my son the same．
My son, those days have been the greatest wonder and        of my life．And there will always be a        for you．
