People around the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West. Unfortunately, it's common for people in the United States and Great Britain to be completelyunfamiliar with the many styles of music found in countries around theworld. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles ofmusic is found in Mongolia.Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of instruments, many of which are unique variations of instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the horse head fiddle, lute, trumpet, flute, zither, and drums. The most unique and well-known components of traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo singing styles known as khuumii and urtiin duu.Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the throat, and produces the effect of two distinct notes at the same time. Khuumii developed in western Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these regions was favorable for this type of singing, which allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal effort. Today, throat singing has become internationally known. However, many of the acts recording music and traveling the world are from Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening to and singing traditional music, young people (like those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop music.Urtiin duu dates back to the 13th century, when the style was practised as a professional art. Urtiin duu relates intricate stories about the natural beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The vocal style is similar to khuumii in that it takes a talented, practised singer in order to perform well. The sounds are drawn-out and require extreme control of the singer's breath. Some examples of this style have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses, thus earning the name"long songs."41. "Music is almost a universal pastime." Which of the followingstatements has the same meaning as this?A. Music is a leisure activity found around the world.B. Music is a required activity found around the world.C. Music is a leisure activity found in a few places around the world.D. Music is a required activity found in a few places around the world.42. W ith which of the following statements would the author of thispassage probably agree?A. World music is an art form that receives much recognition in the West.B. Young people always appreciate the traditional music of their country.C. Most people in London are unfamiliar with Asian music.D. Traditional Mongolian music is known throughout the world.43. W hich paragraph describes a style of singing that some might consider to be excessively lengthy?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.44. W hich of the following sentences from the passage indicates the author's opinion?A. However, world music is a subject that receives littleattention in the West.B. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful,styles of music is found in Mongolia.C. Today, throat singing has become internationallyknown.D. The sounds are drawn-out and require extremecontrol of the singer's breath.45.

English is now an international language and is used as a means of communication between people from many countries. As a result the influences on the English language are wider than ever and it is possible that World English will move away from using a British or American standard and establish its own international identity.
Middle English
English from about 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It was influenced by French in governmental words, like “court”, “legal”, and “government” itself, and Latin in religious and educational words, like “minister”, “angel”, “school”, and “grammar”.
i. The roots of English
A west Germanic language brought to England by Anglo-Saxons around 400 A.D.

She was excited because shewas going to spend five weeks helping biologists from the university perform research on animal behaviour. However, she was also nervous because she would travel with the scientists to Central America, and she had never been that far from home before. She knew that this was an amazing opportunity, though, and tried not to let her nervousness take control.Rebecca was chosen from among many students who were all competing for a spot on the research team. Rebecca had the best grades and a reputation for being reliable in her work. She also demonstrated creative thinking and showed the most promise in the field of biology. All in all, she was a very talented young woman. Most of her classmates were jealous, but they all still wished her luck and eagerly anticipated many great stories after she returned home at the end of the summer.The first couple of weeks in the field, Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists. Most of her time was spent categorizing data. It was not the most glamorous work in the world, but she learned a lot and asked many questions. The rest of the research team realized how valuable Rebecca was, and she started to get her own assignments. Bit by bit, she was assigned more work and, by the end of the summer, she became a full-fledged member of the team!The team was researching the behaviour of Central American mammals, particularly the relationship between predator and prey. Rebecca spent most of her time in the forest observing a family of sloths and trying to stay as quiet as possible. After a few days of this, she discovered that a naturalist's work is often very dirty and involves many long, hot hours where not much happens. It's easy to get very bored when you spend all day watching a sleeping animal.However, Rebecca took very detailed notes and did her best to impress the scientists. At the end of the summer, the entire team had magnificent things to say about Rebecca. They were so happy with her and her work that they asked her to return the following summer! She couldn't wait to tell her friends — they were sure to be even more jealous of her good fortune!41. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. argumentativeC. narrativeD. descriptive42. Which of the following words best describes Rebecca's character?A. Unreliable.B. Capable.C. Fearless.D. Modest.43. Rebecca _______ received more important responsibilities in order to become a full memberof the research team.A. neverB. slowlyC. quicklyD. immediately44. Which paragraph describes the reality of scientific investigation as experienced byRebecca?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. What is meant by the phrase, "Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists" (Para 3,Line 1)?A. She couldn't do anything except help the scientists.B. She could do anything but help the scientists.C. She could do many things in addition to helping the scientists.D. She couldn't do anything but observe the scientists.。

新标准⼤学英语综合教程2Unit7课⽂翻译Unit 7Active reading (1)保护瑟伦要去⽇本学⽊⼯⼿艺，临⾛前他问我能否收留他的狗霍根。

我说：“当然可以，它可以保护我。

”最近我们家附近常有抢劫案发⽣，我在马塞诸塞州的房⼦北⾯靠湖，西⾯被树林环绕，晚上坏⼈可以神不知⿁不觉地溜进来。

瑟伦哈哈⼤笑。

他说：“有陌⽣⼈进门时，霍根也不⼀定会叫。

如果来了个夜贼，他或许还会去舔他。

”不过，霍根感觉到他跟我的关系与他跟瑟伦的关系有所不同。

瑟伦体格强壮，⽽且相对来说⽐较勇敢，他并不需要太多的保护。

匆忙赶路时，瑟伦会像抱⼩孩那样⼀下⼦把霍根抱到⽪卡的货箱上。

我可抱不动他，我的体重和霍根差不多，⽽且他还⽐我年轻⼒壮。

作为⼥⼈，我所⾯临的危险是瑟伦和霍根根本不可能知道的。

在我这⾥⽣活了⼀周之后，只要⼀有陌⽣⼈靠近家门，霍根就开始吠叫。

我们之间的保护关系其实早就存在了，起初我是保护者。

瑟伦第⼀次把霍根托付给我看管时，他Animal plane t Unit 7225还只是⼀只七个⽉⼤的⼩狗，它只在我家⾥过了⼀个周末。

那是11 ⽉底⼀个寒冷的早晨，湖⽔刚开始结冰。

湖⾯上的⼀层薄冰能托得住吹落的树叶和细⼩的树枝，但是还太脆弱，远不能承受动物的⽖⼦。

那时我正在后院晾⾐服，长长的晒⾐绳拴在房⼦旁的⼀棵参天橡树和湖边的⼀棵云杉之间。

⼀条淡蓝⾊的床单随风飘起，眼看着就要掠过湖⾯飞上天空。

当我奋⼒地⽤⾐服夹⼦夹床单时，霍根正在我腿边玩得⽓喘嘘嘘，⼀段两英尺长的橡树枝成了他的宝贝，被他叼来叼去。

由于⼀⼼只想着揪住床单，让它平整伏贴地悬挂在晒⾐绳上，我⼼不在焉地捡起那段树枝，朝⼭坡下将我们家院⼦与湖⽔隔开的围栏⽅向扔了过去。

我以前也经常这样为他扔⽊头。

根据⽊头的不同重量和我的动作的⼤⼩，我知道它们⼤概能飞多远。

但这块⽊头赶上了⼀阵疾风，朝着床单想去的⽅向飞过了院⼦，越过了围栏，最后以溜冰⾼⼿般的优美动作滑进湖⽔⾥。

我抬头⼀看，只见霍根飞速穿过院门，以⼀个漂亮的飞跃撞破薄冰，落⼊⽔中，他差⼀点就够得着那段⽊头了。

Though uniforms have long been a staple of private schools, they are still a rarity in publicschools. This is not merely a debate over the aesthetics of fashion. Rather, this debate lies at the very heartof the politics of fashion.What students choose to wear (and what their parents allow them to wear) to school consistentlyrouses strong feelings and animated discussion. Much has already been said in defense of and againstschool uniforms, and I won't belabor the individual points further. There are many valid points on both sidesof the argument. Instead, I intend to explain why I personally stand in opposition to school uniforms and highlight the reasons why uniforms would serve very little purpose in our specific school district.For the most part, students in our district are well behaved and don't approach any semblance of extreme behavior or expression. Administrators seem to be more worried about a potential escalation of student expression that so far has shown no indication of materializing. Principals and other district administrators are chasing shadows—they're looking to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Our district has no history of student activism, and there are only a few examples of flagrant violations of the existing dress code. In short, there is absolutely no precedent to believe that students will choose to begin acting outagainst authority through fashion statements.School uniforms seem to be an inappropriate response to a nonexistent problem. It is an unnecessary exertion of power by administrators who don't know how to properly exercise authority. Let's take a momentto consider a hypothetical school district that is overwhelmed by student discipline problems. Would the institution of school uniforms be an appropriate response in that case? I would argue in the negative. Uniforms, by themselves, would in no way prevent students from expressing themselves or their views. Improper and unpopular behavior will not be stifled by a school uniform. It may actually make the situation worse, as resentment over the mandatory clothing would likely be great.School uniforms obviously interfere with students' right to self-expression—a right that should beprotected in the public school system. In addition, mandating that all students wear identical (and unattractive) outfits enforces the message that conformity is the preferred method to prevent or resolve conflict. This is certainly not an appropriate message for our schools to be sending to children.41. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. descriptiveC. narrativeD. argumentative42. Of the following, which is the most likely place you would find this article?A. Newspaper editorial.B. Academic journal.C. Fashion blog.D. Education magazine.43. According to the author, which is NOT the reason why school uniforms are a bad idea?A. They are a violation of students' rights.B. There is no justification for their use in the local district.C. They are expensive and many students can't afford them.D. They don't adequately address the problem they are intended to solve.44. In which paragraph does the author use a metaphor to describe school administrators?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. Based on this passage, it seems likely that the author would never _____ the use of schooluniforms.A. suspendB. dictateC. empowerD. condone。

She was excited because she was going to spend five weeks helping biologists from the university perform research on animal behaviour. However, she was also nervous because she would travel with the scientists to Central America, and she had never been that far from home before. She knew that this was an amazing opportunity, though, and tried not to let her nervousness take control.Rebecca was chosen from among many students who were all competing for a spot on the research team. Rebecca had the best grades and a reputation for being reliable in her work. She also demonstrated creative thinking and showed the most promise in the field of biology. All in all, she was a very talented young woman. Most of her classmates were jealous, but they all still wished her luck and eagerly anticipated many great stories after she returned home at the end of the summer.The first couple of weeks in the field, Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists. Most of her time was spent categorizing data. It was not the most glamorous work in the world, but she learned a lot and asked many questions. The rest of the research team realized how valuable Rebecca was, and she started to get her own assignments. Bit by bit, she was assigned more work and, by the end of the summer, she became a full-fledged member of the team!The team was researching the behaviour of Central American mammals, particularly the relationship between predator and prey. Rebecca spent most of her time in the forest observing a family of sloths and trying to stay as quiet as possible. After a few days of this, she discovered that a naturalist's work is often very dirty and involves many long, hot hours where not much happens. It's easy to get very bored when you spend all day watching a sleeping animal.However, Rebecca took very detailed notes and did her best to impress the scientists. At the end of the summer, the entire team had magnificent things to say about Rebecca. They were so happy with her and her work that they asked her to return the following summer! She couldn't wait to tell her friends — they were sure to be even more jealous of her good fortune!41.

The project also set out to determine the complete sequence of 3 billion DNA subunits. The ultimate objective was to understand the genetic makeup ofthe human species. This information would prove vital in not only understanding ourselves, but it would also help doctors and scientists better understand the diseases, mutations, and illnesses that affect people.In addition to identifying all human genes and determining a complete DNA sequence, another project goal was the storage of all information in massive databases. Today, the complete sequenceof human DNA has been made available to the general public on the Internet. It is important to note, however, that everyone has a unique gene sequence. Therefore, the Human Genome Project data doesnot represent the exact sequence of each and every person's genome. Rather, it is the combined genomeof a small number of anonymous donors.Interpretation of this massive amount of data is still in its infancy. Most researchers expectthat analysis of this data will result in remarkable and unexpected developments in various medicaland scientific fields. The benefits of this continued study cannot be overestimated. The Human Genome Project was one of the single largest scientific accomplishments in history, and analysis of the project's results will likely contribute to its significance.41. According to the passage, what happened in 1990?A. The U S government first conceived of the Human Genome Project.B. The Human Genome Project began.C. The Human Genome Project was completed.D. Interpretation of the Human Genome Project began.42. The Human Genome Project sought to _____ genetic information and make it available to everyone.A. conserveB. preserveC. frustrateD. subtract43. Which paragraph details the continuing importance of the research results?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.44. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _______.A. The Human Genome Project data details the genetic sequence of a limited number ofpeople.B. The Human Genome Project data details the genetic sequence of all people.C. The Human Genome Project lasted for 13 years.D. Interpretation of Human Genome Project data is ongoing.45. With which of the following statements would the author of this passage probably agree?A. The Human Genome Project is the most significant scientific advance in history.B. The effects of the Human Genome Project will be limited.C. The United States singlehandedly completed the Human Genome Project.D. The Human Genome Project involved an insignificant amount of research.。
