Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

This morning in class, we discussed organized crime and its place in modern society. Hollywood

has repeatedly presented us with the image of criminals who have elaborate plans, extensive connections, and can sweet-talk anyone into doing whatever they want.

The truth, however, bears no resemblance to this image.

In movies, members of organized crime typically innocent business

owners to pay them "protection money"—which is actually a fee the citizens need to pay for protection from the very people they're paying. They are also known to "knock off," or kill, potential (34)

so that they remain the only "show" in town. The truth of these portrayals is

movies and television would lead us to believe.

There is no doubt, however, that among members of organized crime, there is a considerable

amount of

do anything to get it. In today's day and age, though, they are more than likely to (37)

from violent crimes and pursue more white-collar crimes in order to achieve their goals.

Crime "families" are now known to enter into with legitimate

businesses and form with honest companies. Don't misunderstand, they

still demand complete from "family" members, they still conduct illegal operations, and they are still criminals, but they have gotten much better at appearing clean and staying out of jail.

Your answer Correct answer

(31) sophisticated sophisticated

(32) whatsoever whatsoever

(33) intimidate intimidate

(34) competitors competitors

(35) doubtful doubtful

(36) corruption corruption

(37) refrain refrain

(38) contracts contracts

(39) partnerships partnerships

(40) loyalty loyalty

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

September 23, 2011

Dear Diary,

This afternoon, Mr Jenkins asked me to stay for a few minutes after class. He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.

I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified.

I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.

I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.

Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, the

two founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.

Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.

Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.

Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.

You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.

已经很久没有写日志了，最近有一种特别强烈的写日志的想法！可是思绪一直都被各种考试，各种复习围攻着，无法脱身。今天，我终于忍不住了！就算文章写的再烂，再不堪入目我也要写点东西。（或者说，阿里手贱，不写点东西就过不好周末。哈哈！）

仔细想想，不知道写什么，大概各位看到《有些人》这个题目都不懂什么意思吧！那就对了！（你要是看懂了，我岂不是很没面子，嘻嘻！）

不过，说实话吧！我也不知道是什么意思，只是觉得这三个字，我喜欢！率性而为，意识随波逐流。就是我写文章的习惯，改不了，也不会改。这也是为什么咱高中时，作文从未被表扬过的原因！

想起了高中就想起了我的兄弟姐妹们，呵呵！还是那句不厌其烦的话“想你们了”。每次夜深人静，或者单独一个人的时候，总是会怀念我的那些小伙伴们。或许他们也有这样的，相同的感受吧！其实，现在想想，有些人，我都想不起什么模样，叫不出名字了。

就像，有些人，从我们的生命中匆匆走过，我们却从来不记得，或者，只一眼的邂逅。只是彼此的一个相互回眸。可是，擦肩过后，依旧沿着我们的生活曲线，过着我们自己的生活。这些人，我们的记忆中或许从没对他们留下印象，连过客都称不上，因为，在我们心中，连影子都没留下。

有些人，确实我们感受到了他的存在，从我们生命中走过，却从未停留，只是一个过客，记忆那么惨淡。只是模糊的画面。或许只是为我们的风景增添了一丝点缀，一点色彩。他们从我们生命中走过，和我们的生命有一定的交集，和我们结伴了一段路。可是毕竟旅途的方向，让他们离你愈来愈远。开始是相视而行，慢慢的，你只是看到它匆匆的背影，或许，你们在共同的旅途中有过同生死，走过共患难，也有过生死相扶，相濡以沫。可是，最终还是分道扬镳。那种刻骨的铭记，也最终会随着时间的久远，距离的差异被逐渐销蚀。最终，那个匆匆走过你生命的人，也只是脑海中一个模糊的画面。并且，逐渐远去！

有些人，有些为数不多的人，走进了我们的生命，从此，与我们结伴同行，一直再也没有分开过。别人是你生命中的过客，但是他们是要陪你一生的人。不管风雨烈日，严寒酷暑。只要你在，他们会在你身边。对！他们是爱你的人，你的兄弟，你的亲人。（这里为什么没有说你的爱人，因为，我觉得，现在这个社会，真爱太少了。）可是，真真正正的这样的人，有几个？真的很少，你的生命中走过一千个人，或许，一个这样的陪你一生的人都没有。这不是耸人听闻，也不是我怀疑你的人缘。可是，你试想一下，或者说，回忆一下。在你失恋时，受委屈时，你最想找谁去倾诉？第一个想到谁？第二个想到谁？第三个，第四个？我坚信，你从不会，或者也想不到第五个人。因为，有的时候，你一个也想不到。仔细想想吧。有没有这种值得让你把心交给他的人。很显然，这是不是能说明点什么？

好啦，我不写了，有些烦了，周围环境有些嘈杂，心里不能平静，自己的心里也有些乱，就到这里吧！文章写的确实不咋地，勉强看吧！
