Comprehensive Practice4.1 ClozeIn putting into words how much we adore someone, sometimes it is easier to do so in correspondence than face-to-face. One cannot help but sympathize with the lover who, gazing upon the object of his affection face-to-face, becomes overwhelmed and lost for words. Here distance may help. For separation not only makes the heart grow fonder, it also provides the perfect excuse for a(n) exchange of love letters in which the tongue-tied lover can give a more impressive display of his innermost thoughts. Unable to bring himself to speak freely about his feelings, with pen and paper on hand he may nonetheless easily fill pages withfine words. Watered by these, love will hopefully bloom.4.2 Translation1. George longs for a chance to meet her, but he can’t bring himself to tell herabout it.2.

She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus.

So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit7 Learning about English VocabularyI1.1)Strictly speaking2)drifted3)resembles4)invaded5)is conquered6)fascinating 7)snack8)put; into practice9)source10)climate11)surrendered12)were; aroused2.1)an absolute necessity rather than a luxury.2)is a valuable addition to the football team.3)will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4)Alternative but to go via Vancouver to get to Seattle.5)Declared all beef imports will be banned for the next six months as anemergency measure to stop the spread of mad disease.3.1)systematic; have invented; to a very real extent; mysteries2)to establish; to be modified/modifying3)tolerance towards; strike out; enrichII.Synonyms 1.a)wishb)wish c)wantd)want/wish2.a)skinb)hide/skin c)hided)skine) 3.a)raise/rearb)raise c)rear/raised)raise4.a)royalb)kingly/royal c)sovereignd)royal/kinglyage1.Indeed2.though3.Frankly4.Moreover5.To my knowledge6.however7.nevertheless8.Yet9.instead10.in other wordsComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)fascinating(2)tolerance(3)invented(4)addition(5)ban (6)corrupt(7)out of control(8)influenced(9)elite(10)c ame up with(11)e stablishing(12)M assive(13)s ources(14)e nrich2.(1)early(2)similar(3)source(4)observation (5)examine(6)features(7)declared(8)stronger(9)accident(10)s prungII.Translation1.1)Many small businesses have sprung up in the city since the new policywent into effect.2)On hearing the news, she smiled briefly, and then returned to herhabitual frown.3)He paused for effect, then said: “We can reach/enter these marketsthrough new channels.”4)The addition of a concert hall to the school will help it nourish youngmusical talents.5)We have no way to protect our personal liberties until we haveestablished a sovereign state. / We can’t protect our personal libertiesunless we, first of all, establish a sovereign state.2.Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language.

In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant 5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowedunnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation 1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brotherice-creamlifelikelight year salespersonself-centered threefold overusestone-still worldwide Chinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟;同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员;推销员以自己为中心的,自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的;在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)spell(2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant (7)deserted(8)silence(9)sickened(10)h atch(11)p uzzled(12)i n harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous (4)banned(5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)u ltimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midst of wealthand abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another, buttheir children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfect harmonywith its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in the blazingsun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise above thewinter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings.

Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

Comprehensive PracticeClozeIn putting into words how much we adore someone, sometimes it is easier to do so in correspondence than face-to-face. One cannot help but sympathize with the lover who, gazing upon the object of his affection face-to-face, becomes overwhelmed and lost for words. Here distance may help. For separation not only makes the heart grow fonder, it also provides the perfect excuse for a(n) exchange of love letters in which the tongue-tied lover can give a more impressive display of his innermost thoughts. Unable to bring himself to speak freely about his feelings, with pen and paper on hand he may nonetheless easily fill pages with fine words. Watered by these, love will hopefully bloom. Translation1. George longs for a chance to meet her, but he can’t bring himselfto tell her about it.2.

In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.

The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.`4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text Organization-Working On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of aquestion.2.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important.

It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result.

To accomplish this goal,we need to be familiar with the small adjustments we can make in our everyday lives.The first thing that comes to my mind is that, instead of using cars, we should set about traveling by public transport whenever available. Secondly, we should take care not to take electric power for granted. When we leave a room, all the lights should be turned off. In fact, anything electrical that is not in use should be unplugged. Thirdly,we can recycle. Many things that we use are recyclable. If we get a container to collect the recyclable things, we can contribute to the conservation of natural resources and reduce the amount of pollution and greenhouse gas generated. In addition,a lot of things can be reused rather than being tossed in the trash, such as fabric shopping bags and the reverse side of printed paper.(说明:请勿完全抄写,否则系统会判0分)Unit TestPart I:News ReportsA C A BPart II:Banked ClozeO. walletF. itemsG. laundryD. healthierH. packagingJ. recyclableM. tossN. unplugC. expensiveK.

In general, flowers need sunlight and water to grow. If you don’t expose flowers regularly to enough sunlight and water,they will wither and even die. The same applies to friendship. If you take a friendship for granted, not spending time and energy nurturing/taking care of it, you may one day find your friendship has ceased to exist. Conflict can be compared to a blow to a flower. Friendships, especially young friendships, are unable to endure conflicts just as flowers cannot survive repeated blows. If you have made promises to spend your time with your friend, keep your word. Otherwise it will hurt your friend’s feelings.Old friends may be able to forgive your faults, but you cannot expect newfriends to do the same.

It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you canlive by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can getto understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of aquestion.Points for Comparison/Contrast Chinese1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to dosomething, or teach by holding Americansteach children that they should rely on themselves for solutionshis hand2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority to de-veloping skills at anearly age,believing creativitycan bepromoted over time 1.

You can'taccomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it foryears. Well, it sounds as if I'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the factis I'm only telling the truth.2)The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of thechildren. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff haveneglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers. 3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.Confusable Words1.1) continual 3) continual21) principal 3) principle 5) principal2) continuous 4) continuous2) principal4) principlesage1. themselves2. himself/herself3. herself/by herself/on her own4. itself5.ourselves6. yourself/byyourself/on your own Comprehensive ExercisesI.

In over fifteencenturies of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.

They passed onto us the basic vocabularyof English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English hasenriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed inAmerica and established the United States as an independent nation, anew variety was added to the English language: American English. Though somepeople worry that the language is running out of control,manynative speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant 5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguishedforeign guests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brotherice-creamlifelikelight year salespersonself-centered threefold overusestone-still worldwide Chinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟;同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员;推销员以自己为中心的,自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的;在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)spell(2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant (7)deserted(8)silence(9)sickened(10)hatch(11)puzzled(12)in harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned (5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)ultimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town,but there is still poverty in the midstof wealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another,but their children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfectharmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in theblazing sun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise abovethe winter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings.

Misfortunes came one after another. Chickendied suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies,and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.A)What is love? Some people think it’s lifelong devotion. Others think it’s temporary madness. No matter what, not that people think that love is not important. They are starved for it; they watch endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories; they listen to hundreds of songs about love ?yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love.B)This particular attitude is based on several premises(前提) which either singly or collectively tend to give rise to it. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of eing loved? rather than that of oving? of one capacity to love. In order to be loved, to be lovable, men try to get as rich, successful and powerful as their social positions permit; women are busily involved in making themselves attractive by working on their bodies, dresses, etc. Both men and women also develop pleasant manners, interesting conversation, to be helpful, modest and inoffensive(不冒犯人的).C) A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an bject? not the problem of a apacity? People think that to ove?is simple, but that to find the right object to love ?or to be loved by ?is difficult. There are several reasons behind it. One reason is the changed view of a ove object? Love no longer develops only after marriage is concluded as in traditional cultures. Romantic love, the personal experience of love, has become universal in modern culture. Freedom in love has greatly lifted the importance of the bject?D)Closely related to this reason is another characteristic of modern culture. Our culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually(双方) favorable exchange. Modern man happiness lies in the excitement of looking at the shop windows, and in buying all that he can afford. He (or she) looks at people in a similar way. ttractive?is what men and women are after. It’s a package of qualities which are popular and wanted on the personality market. Two people fall in love when they have found the best object on the market.E)The third error leading to the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion(混淆) between the initial experience of alling?in love, and the permanent state of eing?in love. If two people who have been strangers suddenly let the wall between them break down, they feel close, feel one; this moment of oneness is one of the most exciting and wonderful experiences in life. However, this type of love is by its very nature not lasting. When the two persons become well acquainted(熟悉的), their intimacy is losing its magic until their mutual boredom(厌烦) kills whatever is left of the initial excitement.F)This attitude ?that nothing is easier than to love ?has continued to be spreading in our society. If any other activity, which is started with such huge hopes and expectations, and yet, fails so regularly, as love, people would be eager to know the reasons for the failure, to learn how to do better, or they would give up the activity. Since the latter is impossible in the case of love, there seems to be only one way to overcome the failure of love ?to examine the reasons for this failure, and to proceed to study the meaning of love.G)To learn about love is to learn about an art. That involves the mastery of the theory and the mastery of the practice. If I want to learn the art of medicine, I must first know the facts about the human body and various diseases. When I have all this theoretical knowledge, I am by no means competent in the art of medicine. Only after I have a great deal of practice, when my theoretical knowledge and my practice are blended into one ?my intuition, shall I become a master. Besides, there is a third factor necessary to becoming a master in any art ?the mastery of the art must be a matter of ultimate concern. This holds true for music, for medicine, for sports ?and for love.______11.It’s impossible for people to give up love and thus it’s necessary to find ways to overcome the failure of love.______12.People think love is important, but few people become aware that love is something that needs to be learned.______13.To master the art of love, people should learn what makes love and practice it until the two are blended into one ?the intuition.______14.There is little reason to be surprised that human love relations follow the same pattern of exchange which governs the commodity(商品) and the labor market.______15.Two people being crazy about each other in the beginning proves both the intensity of their love and the degree of their preceding loneliness.______16.Many of the ways men and women use to make themselves lovable are the ways used to make themselves successful, to win friends and influence people.______17.In many traditional cultures, love was mostly not a spontaneous(自发的) personal experience which then might lead to marriage, but was supposed to develop once the marriage had been concluded.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneThe Internet is changing the way society communicates, processes information and knowledge. Some of these developments are exciting and challenging, but in one particular sense the Internet creates a fundamental challenge to the way humans interact.Today, Internet dating has become more or less accepted as a way of forming relationships. There has been some criticism, but it has usually been of the functional and operational(操作上的) kind, regarding membership costs or users providing false pictures or information. There has been little thought or comment on why matchmaking websites by itself might be a bad thing.Online matchmaking is conditioned on the idea of making rational choices. Internet dating is like shopping at LoveMart. We watch and read the adverts (people profiles) and we then, make a rational decision to try the product. The more choices we have, we are told, the better for making the choice.Furthermore, the way dating websites calculate(计算) matches distorts(扭曲) the very core of interpersonal relations. Online seekers of partners and friends rely on computer calculations of a set of hard questions. The questions that many of these websites use are so terrible (are you happy with your life? A. Yes, B. No, C. Most of the time? that they cannot reflect real conversations. THIS is not human interaction; it is a fundamental shift. Interpersonal relationships are being shifted into products that can be (supposedly) objectively measured and objectively chosen, even though such relations represent the exact opposite.In his book, Alain Badiou noted love ?this great irrational driver of humanity ?has become an object, which people wish to be fully informed about, choose rationally, and not suffer any unexpected disappointments from. It is, as philosopher Slavoj Zizek has noted, like caffeine-free coffee.Some critics have suggested that online dating is taking society back to a pre-modern version of arranged marriages. I would say it is worse. It has taken over the very essence(实质)of what it means to be human.18.What’s known about online dating?A) It has become the most popular way of forming relationships.B) It costs no money to become a member online.C) It provides false pictures and information for users.D) It is rarely criticized for its own sake(自身缘故).19.What’s the reason for online dating being introduced?A) To help users make rational choices.B) To provide users with many choices.C) To ask users to do shopping online.D) To help users to try the product before buying.20.How does online dating influence human interactions?A) It measures human interactions objectively.B) It makes human interactions objective.C) It can’n reflect the real human interactions.D) It can correct human interactions.21.What is 搇ove?according to Alain Badiou?A) Love is reasonable.B) Love is irrational.C) Love is disappointing.D) Love is surprising.22.What’s the writer attitude towards online dating?A) Disapproving.B) Encouraging.C) Faithful. D) Extreme.Passage TwoRomance in China is often sacrificed to practicality; dating has largely become a commercial transaction. In Beijing parents gather in parks to introduce their children to one another. Singles?clubs set people up according to requirements ?height, income, property. And tens of thousands participate in matchmaking events in cities like Shanghai looking for the perfect mate. arriage in many ways in China is a way of pulling resources,?says Roseann Lake, a Beijing-based journalist researching a book on heng nv? In one direction, at least, he idea that a woman, no matter how successful she is professionally, is absolutely nothing until she is married ?it still comes down to that.?Yes, China has experienced miraculous growth in the past three decades, but traditions are hard to shake. Confucian ethics stress that marriage must satisfy societal duty over individual desire.The one-child policy has further reinforced these expectations. In China, the young are expected to provide for the old: whom you marry matters for your entire family.These concerns aren’t evenly shared, and they expose something of a generation gap. Children of the 1980s and 1990s ?who were born in better economic times and fed on pop music and movies ?are in less of a hurry to get married than their parents were.Although China changed birth rate means there will be a surplus(过剩) of about 24 million men in China by 2020, the majority of these singles will live in rural areas. In major cities ?where the rate of housing costs to income can reach 12:1 ?finding a good match is a constant worry for educated, ambitious women.When Chinese Valentine Day nears, preparations for dozens of matchmaking events, most aimed at marriage, are picking up. At the Huanleyuan Culture Club, a singles?club in Beijing ?basic requirement: a college degree; annual membership fee: about $560 ?hundreds will be attending a gala matchmaking event. Ten thousand people are expected at a mass blind date in many cities. They l be looking not just for an attractive smile or that spark of chemistry, but also for the promise of money and connections.23.Which of the following best describes Chinese marriage?A) It is practiced with romance.B) It is based on practical aspects.C) It depends on Chinese economy.D) It is associated with parents?introduction.24.What’s the influence of the one-child policy?A) It puts societal duty before individual desire.B) It drives people to find partners of good resources.C) It makes the young generation develop a sense of responsibility.D) It helps improve the welfare system in China.25.What’s known about children of the 1980s and 1990s?A) They are less anxious about marriage.B) They are from economically good families.C) They learn a lot about pop music and movies.D) They follow the tradition of their parents?marriage.26.What can be drawn from the passage?A) More rural women will be singles in the near future.B) More urban women will be singles in the near future.C) More urban men will be singles in the near future.D) More rural men will be singles in the near future.27.What’s the writer attitude towards Chinese marriage?A) Critical.B) Positive.C) Neutral.D) Negative.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.两人万万没有料到,英台应父命回家是因为其父做主,替英台与富家子马文才定了亲。

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.A)What is love? Some people think it’s lifelong devotion. Others think it’s temporary madness. No matter what, not that people think that love is not important. They are starved for it; they watch endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories; they listen to hundreds of songs about love ?yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love.B)This particular attitude is based on several premises(前提) which either singly or collectively tend to give rise to it. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of eing loved? rather than that of oving? of one capacity to love. In order to be loved, to be lovable, men try to get as rich, successful and powerful as their social positions permit; women are busily involved in making themselves attractive by working on their bodies, dresses, etc. Both men and women also develop pleasant manners, interesting conversation, to be helpful, modest and inoffensive(不冒犯人的).C) A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an bject? not the problem of a apacity? People think that to ove?is simple, but that to find the right object to love ?or to be loved by ?is difficult. There are several reasons behind it. One reason is the changed view of a ove object? Love no longer develops only after marriage is concluded as in traditional cultures. Romantic love, the personal experience of love, has become universal in modern culture. Freedom in love has greatly lifted the importance of the bject?D)Closely related to this reason is another characteristic of modern culture. Our culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually(双方) favorable exchange. Modern man happiness lies in the excitement of looking at the shop windows, and in buying all that he can afford. He (or she) looks at people in a similar way. ttractive?is what men and women are after. It’s a package of qualities which are popular and wanted on the personality market. Two people fall in love when they have found the best object on the market.E)The third error leading to the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion(混淆) between the initial experience of alling?in love, and the permanent state of eing?in love. If two people who have been strangers suddenly let the wall between them break down, they feel close, feel one; this moment of oneness is one of the most exciting and wonderful experiences in life. However, this type of love is by its very nature not lasting. When the two persons become well acquainted(熟悉的), their intimacy is losing its magic until their mutual boredom(厌烦) kills whatever is left of the initial excitement.F)This attitude ?that nothing is easier than to love ?has continued to be spreading in our society. If any other activity, which is started with such huge hopes and expectations, and yet, fails so regularly, as love, people would be eager to know the reasons for the failure, to learn how to do better, or they would give up the activity. Since the latter is impossible in the case of love, there seems to be only one way to overcome the failure of love ?to examine the reasons for this failure, and to proceed to study the meaning of love.G)To learn about love is to learn about an art. That involves the mastery of the theory and the mastery of the practice. If I want to learn the art of medicine, I must first know the facts about the human body and various diseases. When I have all this theoretical knowledge, I am by no means competent in the art of medicine. Only after I have a great deal of practice, when my theoretical knowledge and my practice are blended into one ?my intuition, shall I become a master. Besides, there is a third factor necessary to becoming a master in any art ?the mastery of the art must be a matter of ultimate concern. This holds true for music, for medicine, for sports ?and for love.______11.It’s impossible for people to give up love and thus it’s necessary to find ways to overcome the failure of love.______12.People think love is important, but few people become aware that love is something that needs to be learned.______13.To master the art of love, people should learn what makes love and practice it until the two are blended into one ?the intuition.______14.There is little reason to be surprised that human love relations follow the same pattern of exchange which governs the commodity(商品) and the labor market.______15.Two people being crazy about each other in the beginning proves both the intensity of their love and the degree of their preceding loneliness.______16.Many of the ways men and women use to make themselves lovable are the ways used to make themselves successful, to win friends and influence people.______17.In many traditional cultures, love was mostly not a spontaneous(自发的) personal experience which then might lead to marriage, but was supposed to develop once the marriage had been concluded.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneThe Internet is changing the way society communicates, processes information and knowledge. Some of these developments are exciting and challenging, but in one particular sense the Internet creates a fundamental challenge to the way humans interact.Today, Internet dating has become more or less accepted as a way of forming relationships. There has been some criticism, but it has usually been of the functional and operational(操作上的) kind, regarding membership costs or users providing false pictures or information. There has been little thought or comment on why matchmaking websites by itself might be a bad thing.Online matchmaking is conditioned on the idea of making rational choices. Internet dating is like shopping at LoveMart. We watch and read the adverts (people profiles) and we then, make a rational decision to try the product. The more choices we have, we are told, the better for making the choice.Furthermore, the way dating websites calculate(计算) matches distorts(扭曲) the very core of interpersonal relations. Online seekers of partners and friends rely on computer calculations of a set of hard questions. The questions that many of these websites use are so terrible (are you happy with your life? A. Yes, B. No, C. Most of the time? that they cannot reflect real conversations. THIS is not human interaction; it is a fundamental shift. Interpersonal relationships are being shifted into products that can be (supposedly) objectively measured and objectively chosen, even though such relations represent the exact opposite.In his book, Alain Badiou noted love ?this great irrational driver of humanity ?has become an object, which people wish to be fully informed about, choose rationally, and not suffer any unexpected disappointments from. It is, as philosopher Slavoj Zizek has noted, like caffeine-free coffee.Some critics have suggested that online dating is taking society back to a pre-modern version of arranged marriages. I would say it is worse. It has taken over the very essence(实质)of what it means to be human.18.What’s known about online dating?A) It has become the most popular way of forming relationships.B) It costs no money to become a member online.C) It provides false pictures and information for users.D) It is rarely criticized for its own sake(自身缘故).19.What’s the reason for online dating being introduced?A) To help users make rational choices.B) To provide users with many choices.C) To ask users to do shopping online.D) To help users to try the product before buying.20.How does online dating influence human interactions?A) It measures human interactions objectively.B) It makes human interactions objective.C) It can’n reflect the real human interactions.D) It can correct human interactions.21.What is 搇ove?according to Alain Badiou?A) Love is reasonable.B) Love is irrational.C) Love is disappointing.D) Love is surprising.22.What’s the writer attitude towards online dating?A) Disapproving.B) Encouraging.C) Faithful. D) Extreme.Passage TwoRomance in China is often sacrificed to practicality; dating has largely become a commercial transaction. In Beijing parents gather in parks to introduce their children to one another. Singles?clubs set people up according to requirements ?height, income, property. And tens of thousands participate in matchmaking events in cities like Shanghai looking for the perfect mate. arriage in many ways in China is a way of pulling resources,?says Roseann Lake, a Beijing-based journalist researching a book on heng nv? In one direction, at least, he idea that a woman, no matter how successful she is professionally, is absolutely nothing until she is married ?it still comes down to that.?Yes, China has experienced miraculous growth in the past three decades, but traditions are hard to shake. Confucian ethics stress that marriage must satisfy societal duty over individual desire.The one-child policy has further reinforced these expectations. In China, the young are expected to provide for the old: whom you marry matters for your entire family.These concerns aren’t evenly shared, and they expose something of a generation gap. Children of the 1980s and 1990s ?who were born in better economic times and fed on pop music and movies ?are in less of a hurry to get married than their parents were.Although China changed birth rate means there will be a surplus(过剩) of about 24 million men in China by 2020, the majority of these singles will live in rural areas. In major cities ?where the rate of housing costs to income can reach 12:1 ?finding a good match is a constant worry for educated, ambitious women.When Chinese Valentine Day nears, preparations for dozens of matchmaking events, most aimed at marriage, are picking up. At the Huanleyuan Culture Club, a singles?club in Beijing ?basic requirement: a college degree; annual membership fee: about $560 ?hundreds will be attending a gala matchmaking event. Ten thousand people are expected at a mass blind date in many cities. They l be looking not just for an attractive smile or that spark of chemistry, but also for the promise of money and connections.23.Which of the following best describes Chinese marriage?A) It is practiced with romance.B) It is based on practical aspects.C) It depends on Chinese economy.D) It is associated with parents?introduction.24.What’s the influence of the one-child policy?A) It puts societal duty before individual desire.B) It drives people to find partners of good resources.C) It makes the young generation develop a sense of responsibility.D) It helps improve the welfare system in China.25.What’s known about children of the 1980s and 1990s?A) They are less anxious about marriage.B) They are from economically good families.C) They learn a lot about pop music and movies.D) They follow the tradition of their parents?marriage.26.What can be drawn from the passage?A) More rural women will be singles in the near future.B) More urban women will be singles in the near future.C) More urban men will be singles in the near future.D) More rural men will be singles in the near future.27.What’s the writer attitude towards Chinese marriage?A) Critical.B) Positive.C) Neutral.D) Negative.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.两人万万没有料到,英台应父命回家是因为其父做主,替英台与富家子马文才定了亲。
