Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and read ten statements in it.For statements1-10, writeT (for True) if the statement agrees with the information given in the above paragraph(s);F (for False) if the statement contradicts the information given in the above paragraph(s); N (for Not given) if the statement is not given in the above paragraph(s);The Jeaning of America and the WorldThis is the story of a sturdy American symbol which has now spread throughout most of the world. The symbol is not the dollar. It is not even Coca-Cola. It is a simple pair of pants called blue jeans, and what the pants symbolize is what Alexis de Tocqueville called ―a manly and legitimate passion for equality…‖ Blue je ans are favored equally by bureaucrats and cowboys, bankers and deadbeats, fashion designers and beer drinkers. They draw no distinctions and recognize no classes; they are merely American. Yet they are sought after almost everywhere in the world. They have been around for a long time, and it seems likely that they will outlive even the necktie.This ubiquitous American symbol was the invention of a Bavarian-born Jew. His name was Levi Strauss.He was born in Bad Ocheim, Germany, in 1829, and during the European political disorder of 1848 decided to take his chances in New York, to which his two brothers already had emigrated. For two years he was a lowly peddler, hauling sundries (杂货) door-to-door to eke out (维持) a hand-to-mouth living. When a married sister in San Francisco offered to pay his way West in 1850, he jumped at the opportunity, taking with him bolts of canvas he hoped to sell for making tents.It was the wrong kind of canvas for that purpose, but while talking with a miner, he learned that pants – sturdy pants that would stand up to the rigors of the diggings – were almost impossible to find. Opportunity beckoned. On the spot, Strauss measured the man’s waist and inseam with a piece of string and, for six dollars in gold dust, had the canvas tailored into a pair of stiff but rugged pants. The miner was delighted with the result, word got around about ―those pants of Levi’s,‖ and Strauss was in business. The company has be en in business ever since.When Strauss ran out of canvas, he wrote his two brothers to send more. He received instead a rough, brown cotton cloth made in Nimes, France –– called serge de Nimes and swiftly shortened to ―denim‖(the word ―jeans‖ derives from Genes, the French word for Gennoa, where a similar cloth was produced). Almost from the first, Strauss had his cloth dyed the distinctive indigo that gave blue jeans their name, but it was not until the 1870s that he added the copper rivets (铆钉) which have long since become a company trademark.Over the following years the company prospered locally and by the time of his death in 1902, Strauss had become a man of prominence in California. For three decades thereafter the business remained profitable though small. From a company with fifteen salespeople, two plants, and almost no business east of Mississippi in 1946, the organization grew in thirty years to include a sales force of more than twenty-two thousand, with fifty plants and offices in thirty-five countries. Each year, more than 250,000,000 items of Levi’s clothing are sold –including more than 83, 000,000 pairs of riveted blue jeans. They have become, throughmarketing, word of mouth, and demonstrable reliability, the common pants of America. They can be purchased pre-washed, pre-faded, and pre-shrunk for the suitably proletarian look. The pants have become a tradition, and along the way have acquired a history of their own. There was, for example, the Wyoming man who used his jeans as a two-rope to haul his car out of a ditch. And then there is the particularly terrifying story of the careless construction worker who dangled fifty-two stories above the street until rescued, his sole support the Levi’s belt loop through which his rope w as hooked.Statements:1. The blue jeans of today were the result of an unforeseen use of tent canvas.2. Blue jeans are favored only by cowboys and deadbeats.3. Blue jeans are a symbol of “a manly and legitimate passion for equality” becau se both the wealthy and the lowly like wearing them.4. Levi’s two brothers were also businessmen.5. Levi’s pants were so popular with the miners because they sold at a cheap price.6. It was not until the 1860s that he added the copper rivets which have long since become a company trademark.7. Jeans have become the common pants of America because they are both practical and fashionable.8. By the time of his death, Strauss had become the richest man in California.9. The Wyoming man who used his jeans as a two-rope to haul his car out of a ditch was well-educated.10. The examples of blue jeans in the last paragraph are used to show that they are very reliable.答案:TFTNFFTNNTII．CVBDirections:Choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1.

新视野大学英语4(第三版)读写教程banked-cloze的答案及文章

Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right-brain or left-brain thinker? From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term1)(mentioned) numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to2)(determine) which type best describes you.Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions? Over the years, a theory that has 3)(gained) in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are 4)(responsible) for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will depend on which side of his brain works more actively.People who rely more 5)(heavily) on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with 6)(artistic) ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite 7)(opposite) in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and 8)(analytical) in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills. While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been 9)(distorted) and exaggerated by popular psychology, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in certain areas can help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually 10)(stumped) in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions and developing better organizational skills.Unit2I was once in a relationship with a woman who was the most brilliant, creative and driven person I'd ever known. I told her these things often because she didn't see herself this way, despite 1)(achieving) great success and acclaim (称赞) in her professional field. She was also 2)(gorgeous) and sexy, though she seemed not to realize this either, so I told her these things too. But while I thought it was more important to praise her brilliance, it seemed to mean more to her that she was 3)(considered) attractive.My experience with this girlfriend exemplifies a common phenomenon in life – when it comes to complimenting a woman, men often walk a very difficult line. Of course, 4)(context) matters. In a professional setting, talking about appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, it may be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her clothes and 5)(accessories) are pretty, or her hair looks wonderful. However, things in between these two cases are unclear. Women have every right to be recognized and 6)(appreciated) for their intelligence and creativity. But at the same time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skin 7)(complexion) and elegant outfits. Unfortunately, most guys don't understand this. If we receive compliments from women, they're usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don't expect a woman to tell us how 8)(handsome) or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a(n) 9)(comment) as sincere.I'm not saying it's very hard to be a guy these days. It is important for every man to understand how to treat women with both respect and 10)(admiration). But as far as the right balance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when it comes to looks.In some urban centers, workaholism (工作狂) is so common that people do not consider it unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D.C., for example, 1)(frequently) work 60 to 70 hours a week. They don't do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.Workaholism can be a serious problem. True workaholics, being deeply 2)(immersed) in their work, allow themselves little or no time to take breaks. They like to work without being 3)(disrupted), and they probably don't know how to relax.But is workaholism always bad? Perhaps not. There are people who work well under 4)(stress). Besides, some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in their own 5)(sphere). Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their work 6)(challenges) them, keeping them busy and genuinely engaged.Why do workaholics enjoy doing their jobs so much? Of course they get paychecks from it, but it is hard to 7)(quantify) the pleasure with money. It offers more than 8)(financial) security. Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity and provides them with self-confidence. People have a feeling of satisfaction when they 9)(administrate) a business well or complete a challenging piece of work. In addition, most jobs provide a socially acceptable way for people to meet others. So, though some people are compulsive (强迫性的) about their work, their 10)(addiction) seems to be a safe or even an advantageous one. They feel empty and incomplete when they are involved in activities not related to work.Unit4Farming invariably interferes with the habitats of plants and animals. However, this does not necessarily mean that agriculture and biodiversity are 1)(incompatible). In fact, quite the opposite is true. The sustainable cultivation of plants for food and feed actually enables us to 2)(preserve) biodiversity.By 2007, there were more than twice as many people living on the planet as there were in 1961. Over the same period, the total amount of 3)(available) arable (可耕的) land grew by just 10 percent. In comparison with population growth, the expansion of arable land was small. And there are limits to further expansion. A large 4)(proportion) of the earth's surface – like deserts – is not suitable for cultivation, and other areas are 5) (utilized) by humans for roads and buildings. Some land that is rich in biodiversity needs to be preserved and thus should not be 6)(converted) into arable land. The tropical rain forests, for example, have the highest species density in the world, and changing this land for crop cultivation would be 7)(dreadful) to these species' habitats and, indeed, existence.By 2050, global demand for food will have risen by 70 percent. But the expansion of land available for cultivation has its limits. This is one of the greatest challenges facing agriculture today: How do we 8)(balance) the increased demand for food with the need to maintain biological diversity, now and in the future?Efficient and 9)(sane) use of land will be key to preserving natural animal and plant habitats. To achieve this aim will depend to a(n) 10)(considerable) extent on the use of modern agricultural methods. If these methods are successfully applied, we believe that agriculture and biodiversity can coexist in harmony.Stereotypes have some truth mixed in with a few generalizations. Sometimes these generalizations can be misleading as they are often based on observation of the 1)(exterior) behavior of people in a certain culture. Spaghetti, pasta, mafia (黑手党), gestures, fashion –these are some words commonly used to describe Italians. How much truth is there in the stereotype? As an Italian myself, I will give you some 2)(insights) into the Italian soul and clarify some misunderstandings that foreigners have about us.Spaghetti and pasta are sacred. You can't take pasta away from an Italian meal; otherwise it won't be 3)(complete). A typical Italian meal generally includes pasta as a starter, fish or meat with salad as the main 4)(course), followed by fruit or dessert, and then coffee. But there are considerable regional differences in Italy, and hence 5)(inconsistencies) exist between the stereotype and reality. For instance, you might find risotto (加有肉、鱼或蔬菜的调味饭) replacing pasta in some places!The Mafia is real: We are not proud of it, but it does exist, especially in the South and on the island of Sicily. Obviously, not every Italian is a member of the Mafia, and most will be 6)(offended) if you use the term, even if you are just joking.Yes, the way we speak is unique. Italians use 7)(gestures) a lot in communication. We simply cannot talk without our hands. If the hands are busy doing something else, we start moving shoulders or other parts of the body.We are also fashion victims. You can recognize Italians by the way they dress from head to toe. We wear stylish clothes and 8)(ornaments) for every possible occasion. You won't ever see an Italian wearing running shorts combined with long socks: It's simply against our 9)(sense) of style!Italy is made up of many regions and provinces which are similar in some ways and 10)(distinctive) in others. The stereotype contains some truth, but being Italian takes a lot more than that.Unit6To invest in women's education and health is important for the overall welfare of the human society. The 1)(reason) for saying so is obvious, that is, women are playing important roles in modern society. The politicians who 2)(levy) taxes should know that women contribute to 40 percent of the world's production in agriculture, a quarter in industry, and a third in services. Women farmers in the developing countries grow at least 50 percent of the world's food. In addition to 3)(generating) income, women continue to take responsibilities for household activities such as childcare, cleaning and preparing food, which are sometimes not as 4)(lightweight) and easy as generally thought.Yet women's productivity remains low. Improving women's productivity can greatly benefit economic growth and poverty 5)(reduction), which are key development goals around the world. Hence, to 6)(enhance) women's status is a vital part of the World Bank's strategy for broadly based economic and human resource development.To improve women's welfare calls for the efforts of both women and men. If long-term change in the conditions of women is to be 7)(achieved), the actions and attitudes of men must change, rather than simply to 8)(emancipate) women from old conventions. Problems affecting women are often closely related to the social 9)(relationships) between men andwomen. For example, it is impossible to deal with women's health problems effectively through 10)(approaches) that involve only women. Many women's health problems are embedded in unequal gender relation in work loads, responsibilities for family welfare, as well as access to resources and decision-making.Unit7With environmental damage from coal- and gas-derived power already at crisis levels, even alternatives that are currently limitedly available are looking great. Wind power, an energy source that costs far less than nuclear and coal power and contributes no toxic 1)(particulates) to the environment, seems to many of us highly 2)(viable) and ideal.But there are people who 3)(disagree) and are fighting the installation of new wind turbines. They 4)(cite) bird deaths as an unacceptable side-effect of wind-generated power. Through various forms of protests, they hope to save huge numbers of birds from death at the 5)(rotary) blades of massive wind turbines.No one really knows how many birds die each year as a result of the growing wind power industry. Most studies focus on only one or two wind farms. Yet, published studies suggest that wind farms 6)(vary) considerably in the risk they pose to birds. Some wind turbines don't appear to kill any birds, while others are believed to kill as many as 40 birds per turbine per year. Though these reports tell us 7)(little) about the total number of birds killed, they do tell us that steps can be taken when constructing wind power turbines to 8)(minimize) their impact on birds. For example, wind farms should not be built on bird migration routes. Wind turbines should be erected in ways to avoid 9)(locating) blades at a height where birds tend to fly. Wind towers should be 10)(designed) carefully to prevent birds from sitting or resting on them. Some reports even argue that well-planned wind power can actually save many birds if it is used increasingly to replace power generation from fossil fuels.Unit8Karen was a young mother working as a clerk at a court in North Carolina. Though she had been trained in criminal justice, she quickly found prisons and courts to be 1)(depressing) places to work. When her daughter was born, she had to stay at home and be a full-time mother. At that point, she decided to 2)(figure) out what she really wanted to do with her life. She knew that she liked office jobs and didn't intend to give up her own career development, but she also enjoyed the 3)(flexibility) of staying home and raising her daughter. Therefore, it seemed that she just couldn't find anything that could satisfy these two 4)(seemingly) conflicting conditions.One day, Karen read in the newspapers that a couple 5)(sued) their babysitter for abusing their child. It turned out that the babysitter had a long criminal record. Karen couldn't 6)(imagine) hiring someone to watch her child without doing a thorough investigation about that person's background. This 7)(sparked) a brilliant idea. Karen decided to do something to save other parents' children from 8)(suffering) the same fate. And this job didn't require her to leave her home. The next day she got her hometown paper and looked at the ads placed by parents seeking babysitters. She called them and sent them 9)(leaflets) to offer her baby-sitting services. Several of them jumped at it. Her business was born and has continued to grow.That was 15 years ago. Karen was recently named one of the top 10 business women in North Carolina and has even appeared on Oprah's talk show. Asked about the secret of her success, she emphasized that it was because she was 10)(passionate) about what she really wanted to do. In addition, Karen mentioned that patience and persistence were vital to her achievements.。
