大学英语精读第三册cloze及答案

Unit1

Fate is sometimes not very kind to policemen like myself.Take as an example the recent trial in which i was involved.when i arrested the young lad i had felt sure he was guilty.i had been following him around for a couple of hours and he conducted himself suspiciously. He had been wandering about and it seemed to me that he was looking for an opportunity to steal. When I arrested him ,his casual manner only served to confirm my suspicions.i thought i had at last caught the the thief who had been troubling the area for so long.

However,my joy was only temporary.when i saw the brilliant solicitor the boy`s father had hired to defend him,i knew we didn`t stand a chance .it turned out the boy was simply a student who was looking for temporary employment before going to university.if only he had been a bit more helpful when we arrested him,he could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble. It`s enough to make one turn against students.

Unit2

Despite the vast amount of data available for us to download form the worldwide web, we still face a problem in how to make the best use of it.data on its own has limitations.it is only when nature is exposed to fruitful questions that we can hope to uncover her secrets ,the evolution of science shows this clearly ,with many of the most notable discoveries relying on the ability to view matters rather than simply gathering more facts,in short ,half the answer lies in thinking up the right question. Unit3

To my mind ,in any analysis of the professions ,few can match teaching .one needs to be energetic ,for occasionally it seems one hardly has time to catch one`s breath .it can mean staying up late in order to get lessons prepared on time ,nonetheless, i am convinced that the work is more stimulating than that of my administrative colleagues.i certainly would not wish to switch,even though the pay is higher ,with teaching,the pace of life is more varied ,allowing greater time for reflection and research .yet most of all it is the chance to see the spark of a fresh idea taking hold in a student`s mind that is the most rewarding aspect of the job ,repaying all one`s efforts.

Yet she still manages to write extensively on the team she grew up following .straining her neck in the gloom of her room,surrounded by her computer equipment and a tv set,she has managed to rise above her situation against all the odds.

Unit5

I recall that it was something of an embarrassment to have my son find me so upset on that Wednesday long ago.he had come home expecting to have the place all to himself,only to find me there ,frantic with worry about losing my job,i had assumed that i could master typing in just a few session, but it took much longer than I had expected. Try as I might, it seemed I justcould not catch on to it in time,i suppose i should have enrolled on a correspondence course,as i did when learning to run the nursery ,but by then it was too late. I felt helpless and the tension at work was becoming too much to bear,so in the end i just had to accept defect and change jobs.not that i gave up wanting to type.i went on practicing and eventually mastered it.

The medicines the doctor prescribed for me tasted horrible. They were supposed to bring down my temperature,but when i heard how high it was i was terrified. I though i was terrified.i though i was certain to die.i just didn`t see how i could possibly overcome the illness.i couldn`t stop worrying about it.all day i just gazed into space,feeling miserable.the fever made me shiver and gave my face a flush.i couldn`t take an interest in anything and felt very detached from everything around me.i though my father must know i was going to die, but had said nothing,wanting me to keep from thinking about it. Finally i could bear it no longer and asked him how much longer i could live.when he explained my mistake,all my worries slid away.only then was i really able to take it easy.
