A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容, 选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it. Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power? The answer is clear if not us. Who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.
Computer. More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (显示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.
Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.
Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash? Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.
Television: Unplug (拔出插头) the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.
Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.

The rise of e-learning

A new study published today shows that e-learning is more popular than ever. According to a survey, 57% of students now get degrees (学位) through e-learning, with only 43% getting degrees by attending a ____75____ university.
We spoke to Zhong Tai, an eighteen-year-old student from Sichuan Province who started an e-learning course last month.

It had nothing to do with money I just didn't feel right leaving my father with a ____77____.

Yet, though Zhong Tai is now a graduate at the University of London, he has never been to Britain. In fact, he never left Sichuan.
We asked Zhong Tai whether he felt bad about missing some ____79____ enjoyed by students studying on the campus, such as making new friends from different places.
“Not at all,” he replied. “I have made a lot of friends with people from my course online. ____80____, during the evenings and weekends. I go out with my friends from high school. Since most of them also use e-learning, we all
still live close to one another.”

My Big Day
There were about 15 kids there for audition(试镜)when we arrived. I had been u____81____ about being late on this Big Day but the bus, which moved slowly all the way, woke up and almost galloped for the last half mile. Dad and I jumped off and ran to 171 High Street. I had e____82____ a shiny building but what I saw was a broken ancient door. And the room into which we all crowded was dark and didn’t have enough chairs. A boy was p____83____ his audition piece loudly, unaware of everyone else in the room. Most of the kids were in jeans, but a few dressed seriously cool as if they spent every day on film sets and lunching with s____84____. I felt a bit embarrassed about my dressing.
A girl called us away, one by one, to be auditioned. I breathed deeply and slowly as I had learned to do-ever since my first part in the school play, when I was extremely nervous and n____85____ forgot everything I had memorized. I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places. I knew I was good. I really wanted this part, I wanted to pay Dad back for all the work he’d done for me. I wanted to make him proud of me. And I know I could do it.
Suddenly, there it was my n____86____! I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting.
“How tall are you?” he asked.
“I’m 1.6 metres,” I said, trembling slightly.
The man looked at the woman and I saw him s____87____ his head.
The woman turned to me and said, “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you.”

I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16. Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced (保养) at a nearly garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car, I agreed happily. I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 pm. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result being late, I thought if Dad knew what I had done, he could never let me drive again. So when I drove up the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner. I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs.
“I’m terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie
