Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Should You Be the Boss?Soul-searching questions for teachers considering administration.As a teacher, you manage the needs of 20 or more students at one time. Try handling 200, even 20,000 children—along with their teachers, parents, principals, and school boards. If that situation excites you, you may have what it takes to be a school administrator. In fact, 98 percent of all school administrators come from the teaching ranks, says Emil J. Haller, professor of educational administration at Cornell University.Opportunities are there. Most districts have a variety of administrators, from assistant principal to director of curriculum to superintendent (负责人), the person who manages all of the schools in a district.What is it like to give up the direct daily contact with children for a broader role in administration? Instructors spoke with teachers-turned-administrators to find out what teachers should ask themselves before pursuing a position in the ranks of administration.Do you have a passion for education? A desire to spread your vision?"I had a certain conviction about the learning environment for kids," says Georgene Mais, director of elementary instruction in the21,000-student Birdville school district, outside Fort Worth, Texas. She felt driven, she says, "to create that learning environment" for an entire campus and to be a positive influence "within the whole community." That kind of drive motivates some teachers to leave the daily triumph of seeing that light of understanding flash in a child's eyes. Others see administration simply as a different kind of teaching.Nancy Villarreal, an assistant superintendent in the Newark school district, with 7,800 students, in the San Francisco Bay area, believes administration is the ultimate teaching experience. "What I do gives me additional opportunities to work with adults in a broader perspective," she says. "I've begun to look on all of us as learners. Some of us are adult learners; some are student learners."As a principal you in effect keep teaching—teaching teachers. Paul Scwartz, principal in residence for the US Department of Education, says the job has been changing. "I think people are beginning to rethink the image of the principalship," he says. "It's becoming less a job for managers or administrators and much more involved with accountability, with issues of teaching and learning."Sometimes educators are motivated by "a desire for change," a desire for a new challenge, as in the case of Karen Beckers, who changed jobs several times in her career in the 2,200-student school district of Greenfield, Wisconsin. She entered administration as an elementary curriculum coordinator. When the position waseliminated due to declining enrollment, she returned to the classroom. "Those next years were probably the best of my career," she says, because she had a deeper understanding of curriculum design. Five years later, though she was "still having a good time teaching," she returned to administration. In 1997 she retired after 33 years as an educator—the last eight as principal. If you feel you should begin work in administration, you must be prepared for major changes, like moving. Dennis Smith, Ph.D., now superintendent of the Orange County public school district in Florida, knew that he wanted to be a principal when he began teaching in Phoenix, Arizona. After five years he became assistant principal there. A year later, at age 27, he landed his first principalship in Tucson. Next he was assistant superintendent and then took over as superintendent a year later, at age 34, in Laguna Beach, California. As superintendent, he moved from three different districts in California to his present post in Florida. His career progression went smoothly not only because he was willing and able to move but also because his spouse, a teacher, was willing and able to move with him.Will you work more days and longer hours?Although administrative positions may pay more than teaching salaries, they often require more hours on the job. Principals, for instance, work an average of 220 days a year, whereas teachers are more likely to work 180 to 185 days. In addition to school gatherings and site visits to classrooms, administrators must attend after-hours events—school board meetings and ceremonial functions.Often administrative positions require postgraduate degrees, though specific requirements vary from state to state and district to district. Most principals have master's degrees, and many superintendents have PhDs. You may also have to brush up in other areas. For instance, former principal Beckers notes, "Many teachers who become principals have to learn a great deal about special education, and it's extremely enriching."Are you a very organized problem solver?Administrative positions often involve doing a lot of paperwork, such as budget reports and staff evaluations—even more than that required of teachers. You'll need to make priorities and coordinate the diverse tasks in your new workload, along with those of your staff. Expect constantly to shift roles, from troubleshooter (调解人) to long-range planner to diplomat. Beckers warns, "If you're not a list maker or a time keeper, you'll have some problems." Principals find that if they are not careful, special events can take away from the time they need to work with teachers.Are you a team builder and a leader?Administrators are facilitators and consensus builders, but they must also give strong direction and leadership. The position of curriculum developer requires working in teams and reporting to the central office. While following the direction of your superiors, you will also want to provide teachers with a curriculum that excitesthem. It's a balancing act. Dennis Smith notes that, as superintendent, he tries "to provide a clear direction for an entire school district and community." Sometimes building the consensus means putting aside your own ideas. One of his biggest challenges, Smith says, was working with board members who fought among themselves.Career OptionsThe following positions can be found nationwide, though the descriptions may vary from district to district.SuperintendentProvides leadership for a school district; helps the school board identify goals; and keeps the entire school system and community focused on instructional needs. ($86,111)Assistant SuperintendentProvides teacher and principal support as a contact with the central office; is often involved in curriculum and instruction development.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urbantraffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highwaysystem.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.1. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________.A. its power sourceB. its driving systemC. its monitoring systemD. its seating capacity2. What is the author's main concern?A. How to render automobiles pollution-free.B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D. How to develop an automated subway system.3. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A. A rail.B. An engine.C. A retractable arm.D. A computer controller.4. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.A. keep in the right laneB. wait to arrive at his destinationC. keep in constant touch with the computer centerD. inform the system of his destination by phone5. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A. Enthusiastic.B. Pessimistic.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.Passage 2Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for along time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.1. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. people in most counties of the world today are not opposed to living in flatsB. English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flatsC. people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flatsD. modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living2. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?A. They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.B. They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.C. They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.D. They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.3. The word “rage” (Line 11) means “______”.A. be ignoredB. be in fashionC. encourage people greatlyD. develop with great force4. Some people oppose the building of flats because _____.A. the living expenses for each individual family are higherB. they believe people like to live in houses with gardensC. it involves higher cost compared with the building of housesD. the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats5. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses _____.A. do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the cityB. have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service workC. have to spend more money and time traveling to work every dayD. take longer time to know each other because they are scattered communityPassage 3For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies—and other creatures—learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children‟s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on”adisplay of lights—and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papousek‟s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came one. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world an bring it under intentional control.1. According to the author, babies learn to do things which _____.A. are directly related to pleasureB. will meet their physical needsC. will bring them a feeling of successD. will satisfy their curiosity2. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _____.A. would make learned responses when it saw the milkB. would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC. would continue the simple movements without being given milkD. would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink3. In Papousek‟s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _____.A. have the lights turned onB. be rewarded with milkC. please their parentsD. be praised4. The babies would “smile and bubble” at the lights because _____.A. the lights were directly related to some basic “drivers”B. the sight of the lights was interestingC. they need not turn back to watch the lightsD. they succeeded in “switching on” the lights5. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of _____.A. a basic human desire to understand and control the worldB. the satisfaction of certain physiological needsC. their strong desire to solve complex problemsD. a fundamental human urge to display their learned skillsPassage 4Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur t the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesn‟t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,”it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pace (群) by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _____.A. worsen in modern societyB. occur when they go wildC. be just part of their natureD. present a threat to the community2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to_____.A. teach the dog to perform clever tricksB. enable the dog to regain its normal behaviorC. make the dog aware of its owner‟s authorityD. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior3.

To win leadership of the dog pack.5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _____.A. will enjoy a better family lifeB. can give the dog more freedomC. can give the dog more rewardsD. will have more confidence in himselfPassage 5A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what ishappening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper. What each person does is to put together, out of the pages or that day‟s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness s you modify and apply the techniques of reading.1. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its _____.A. wide coverageB. popularityC. speed in reporting newsD. uniform style2. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that _____.A. people are rarely interested in the same kind of the newsB. different people prefer different newspapersC. people scan for the news they are interested inD. people have different views about what a good newspaper is3. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _____.A. apply reading techniques skillfullyB. usually read a newspaper selectivelyC. appreciate the variety of a newspaperD. jump from one newspaper to another4. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because _____.A. readers are difficult to pleaseB. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC. it tries to serve different readersD. readers like to read different newspapers5. The best title for this passage would be “_____”.A. The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperB. The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityC. The Variety of a Good NewspaperD. Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperPassage 6We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual (智力的) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also vale personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They alsolearn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.1. In the passage the author‟s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is _____.A. criticalB. questioningC. approvingD. objective2. By “held back” (Line 1) the author means “_____”.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing3. The author argues that a teacher‟s chief concern should be the development of the student‟s ___.A. personal qualities and social skillsB. total personalityC. learning ability and communicative skillsD. intellectual ability4. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.5. The author‟s purpose of writing this passage is to _____A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC. offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingPassage 7Surfing the Internet can be as addictive as drugs, alcohol or gambling (赌博), a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction hooked people into spending 40 hours or more a week online, most often involved in role-playing games or engaged in chat room discussions.One 17-year-old boy was so addicted (上瘾) to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a drug/alcohol rehabilitation (康复) hospital for 10 days for treatment.One woman, described by friends, family and children as a perfect homemaker, wife and mother, became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook, clean or do the laundry (洗熨衣物) and was neglecting her children and husband because she was spending as much as 12hours a day talking to acquaintances on the Internet.。

I am used to friendly opening exchange when doing business. Here in Chicago; things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business; though this is an convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with an leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt; there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides; the perception is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first; it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually; though; I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.unit2Bill Johnson's path to Olympic gold was different than that of most. In fact; even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event; many rejected him as a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background; and he boasted too much. Moreover; he only became involvedin skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17.There was no lifelong commitment to the sport. He did not exemplify the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still; few failed to appreciate his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was perfect for the course. And so even before the race began; he was claiming victory."This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me;" he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers hostile toward him. That just encouraged him even more. Then on the day of the event; he turned out the fastest."It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain; "Bill Johnson remarked proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States."Not many can do that."unit3At first; my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black. I guess my dad was a bit of a racist. Unfortunately; no arguments could counter Dad's beliefs. Despite his protests; though; Will and I decided to go through with our wedding. On a marvelous June day we were married in the park. The wedding went off without any hostile words or embarrassing exchanges. It was actually quite beautiful. There was just one problem. Many of our friends and relatives didn't attend our wedding. I had to conclude that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we know. Other than my father; no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Will. It did not seem appropriate for them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way. My dad had strong reservations about my marriage to Will; but at least he was there. Will and I decided to overcome this burden by showing everyone how wrong they were. We wanted not only to love one another; but also to defy racial hatred by loving one another. We probably weren't being all that realistic; but we did succeed with one person. My dad and Will have developed an amazing friendship. My dad says he has forgotten why he ever had any doubts about our marriage.Unit4What do we know about love Is it; as some people would suggest; a mysterious force Or can it be explained and possibly even created Well; even in this scientific and reason-driven age; love seems still to defy total understanding. We can; however; know something about love and make stronger connections between individuals.One thing that seems to affect love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are separated. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more intense.Something that nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love with time.Love gives us warmth; courage; and a feeling of being safe; but it also demands selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly committed to finding true love; youshould make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.unit5My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys. He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise. Lately; though; he has ceased to listen to what I say. He used to be such a sweet boy; but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures. The change in his attitude has been very noticeable even to his teachers.The other day I asked him to come straight home after school; but instead he rebelled and stayed out until ten o'clock. Later I found out that he had skipped school completely that day. I found out that he was with an bunch of boys who often cause trouble. I decided to forbid him to do anything with those boys; but he didn't listen to me. In spite of my objections to him being with those boys; he was with them the very next day.A friend of mine has a son who is having identical problems. She decided to give him a change of environment and sent him to a private school. I'm not sure this is the best solution; though. You can't just change a boy's behavior by changing his school every time he does something wrong. It is better to help a kid establish a good set of core values.unit6My name; Bobby; is used both for boys and girls. Girls spell it "Bobbie". It is characteristic for little boys to be given a name with a "y" sound at the end. For example; I often had a Jimmy; Johnny or Billy in my classes. In my second grade; I also had a Bobbie. In order not to confuse us when she called our names; our teacher assigned us the names "Bobbie girl" and "Bobby Boy". This caused me a lot of trouble on the playground. There; my friends labeled me "Bobbie girl". For my friends; the apparent contrast between my name and my sex was the source of much laughter. The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very embarrassing. I had a tendency to compensate for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have otherwise. I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of the other boys added together. The real "Bobbie girl"; conversely; acted more like a girl.

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程3 十五选十Unit 1 P12determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will 1) find a way to do it well. The 2) point is that you must have the will to achieve success.Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any 3) to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to 4) every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5) and achieve their goals.Only those with a(n) 6) and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have 7) their prestige because they have had the will to 8) apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to accomplish major 9) .Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the 10) use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.Unit 2 P42process that is 1) by profound psychological changes, especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating 2) of the adolescent years is the tendency for self-focus and a decrease in the 3) of focus we have for the feelings and needs of others.While these changes are fairly universal, those of us who were born with a shy temperament (性格) can carry the adolescent fears, which may never 4) , into adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when 5) to the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and gradually we become more and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly dangerous. This may result in a(n) 6) circle for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed.To cope with the problem, I would like to 7) you to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your 8) focus on yourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight (聚光灯). But if you begin to build a new response, in 9) to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response. Remember, don't let self-consciousness 10) you! Be courageous!Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most successful and well-known actresses in the film 1) .She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to 2) a particular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin (小精灵似的) beauty. Today's 3) of the slim fashion model is due to Audrey Hepburn's influence. Although she appeared frail (脆弱的), she was 4) strong. At the end of her acting career when she entered a(n) 5) career as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she was so solidly 6) to her cause that she was held in highest esteem (尊重) by even the most hardened politicians.Audrey originally started working for UNICEF in 1954, doing radio presentations. She always said it was happy to 7) her life to helping impoverished (穷困的) children after her own good fortune in 8) the hardship of the Nazi occupation of Holland. She began her permanent ambassadorship in 1988 and 9) on trips to many countries. She was always positive: "People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening." In 1992, her 10) work with those in need was recognized when she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her contribution to humanity."Why would you leave behind your comfortable bed, your home, your family and friends? Why do you want to go alone?" When you are living out of a backpack for a period of time, you may often get questioned why. I seldom get time to sit down and 1) the reason I travel, but I believe that you only begin to truly live once you step outside of your 2) zone.My first overseas trip was at 14 years old, which 3) my curiosity for the world. Since finishing high school I have 4) through various countries and been amazed by all the 5) cultures scattered around the globe. My eyes are my greatest asset as they have 6) the most beautiful scenes that replay in my mind every day: 7) landscapes, friendly locals, breath-taking architecture, and food that makes your mouth water once your eyes catch a(n) 8) .Traveling teaches you to be independent in the most 9) way. I know how to depend on myself, go out and meet people, and not let anyone else's expectations 10) my life. Every day I see my dream and every day it's in a new place. I am 22 years young. I quite agree with Anthony Bourdain, "If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go."In were happy at work. Surprisingly, contrary to popular 2) , friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager, instead of the salary or the love for the work, have been found to be the 3) causes of happiness at work. So, how do you keep your spirits up and, at the same time, 4) a sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on your way to finding happiness and complete job satisfaction in the workplace.Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is a state of mind; it 5) an attitude, though not many people realize it. Staying happy at work is totally based on your 6) and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on 7) rewards or material gain. Dwelling on (老是想着) the good 8) of the work rather than rattling on and on (对...喋喋不休) about what makes you unhappy is the basic key to happiness. Negativity and 9) about bad things may be easy, but it is looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job. As Francesca Reigler puts it, "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves 10) , or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same." Unit 6 P160It involved a vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most 1) and widespread war in human history, with (2) people serving in military units.

Estimates for the total number of (4) of the war vary, because many deaths went (5) . Most suggest that some 60 million people died in the war.

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner roles are distinguishable, how can teaching aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.1.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. too much time is spent in teaching about readingC. students spend endless hours in readingD. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance2.The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readi ngB. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable3.The word "examination" at the end of Paragraph 3 most probably means "________".A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion4.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are identicalC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience5.The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time. People think that the stude nts of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius.People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their students.Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as "Amnesty International" (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting.After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be considered a true "inner-city school". While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the school's location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area.6.What do people often think negatively about?A. Inner-city schools.B. Stereotypes.C. St. Ignatius.D. Violence.7.What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius?A. Amnesty International.B. A serious fight.C. A Spanish club.D. Inferior students.8.What would Mrs. Borroni do after school?A. Give Spanish classes.B. Tell students about activities.C. Guide students in special groups.D. Help students love learning.9.Why might a reader of this article not view St. Ignatius as a real inner-city school?A. It is not in the middle of the city.B. It is in a poor suburban area.C. It enriched the author's life.D. It might be better than others.10.How does the author feel about inner-city schools?A. The stereotypes about them are not at all true.B. They are not necessarily all bad, as they can be good.C. They are much poorer than those in the suburbs.D. The students there are more enlightened.In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币⼚) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的⼈). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme2.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word "press" means ________.A. publicationB. newspaperC. machineD. the act of pushing down3.The design of a buffalo was modified ________.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were "beyond understanding"C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the Philadelphia MintD. because the words were too high on the coin4.According to one collectors' magazine using a Native American and a buffalo was ________.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea5.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson ________.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cards focused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it8.

Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders andhe records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.3.What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (⽀流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soil thereB. they did not realize that the river would overflow sometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of the yearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how to control the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledge all over the world。

新视野英语2复习题passagePassage 1Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are "hot". That's tree. The time of day when you feel most energetic (精力充沛的) is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak (高峰). For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar words as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually (习惯性的) staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start, which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.1. Dr. Kleitman thinks that__________________.A. getting up late in the morning means lazinessB. if your energy peak is in the evening, you might like getting up earlyC. people can do nothing about energy cycleD. spending some time yawning and stretching helps to keep you energetic2. According to the passage, family quarrels may result from__________________.A. the same energy cycle of family membersB. unawareness of different energy cyclesC. failing to get up early in the morningD. knowledge of energy cycles3. If you are used to getting up late in the morning, you are likely to be most energetic________.A. in the morningB. at noonC. in the afternoonD. in the evening4. What's the likely relationship between energy cycle and body temperature?A. Energy cycle and body temperature are the same things.B. The higher your temperature is, the less energetic you are.C. The higher your temperature is, the more energetic you are.D. There is no direct relation between them.5. Which of the following statements is not true?A. One can change his energy cycle once he makes up his mind.B. We still don't know why people have different energy cycles.C. Habit will help to make our life fit energy cycles better.D. If you rise earlier than usual, you will be more efficient at your low point in the morning.Passage 2The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earth's resources has brought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the breakup of the family, and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earth' s atmosphere. The disaster has arrived in the form of the energy crisis.Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. It is also unlike the great natural disasters of the past. Worldwide resource exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of lost morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devote themselves whole-heartedly.This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and that we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to devise new methods through which the world can survive, This is a priceless opportunity.To grasp it we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis confronting us and the world is a crisis that is no passing inconvenience, no by-product of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries, no environmentalists’mere fears, no by-producing countries, no by-product of any present system of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptancedepends on a: sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the world's children and future generation.1. Which condition does the author feel has nearly destroyed our cities?A) Lack of financial planning. B)The breakup of the family.C) Natural disasters in ninny regions. D) The excessive growth of motors.2. According to the author, what is one example of our loss of morality?A)Disregard for law. B)Lack of devotion.C) Lack of cooperation. D)Exploitation of resources.3. By comparing past problems with present ones, the author draws attention to theA) significance of this crisis B) inadequacy of governmentC) similarity of the past to the present D) hopelessness of. the situation4.. What contribution does the author feel people must now make.*A) Search for new energy sources. B) Outlaw motor transportationC)Accept a new lifestyle D)Adopt a new form of government.5 .The word “revival ( Sentence 2, Para. 3) most probably means “_________”.A) survival B) destructionC ) removalD )comebackPassage 3The forest from which man takes his timber is the tallest and most impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of man' s brief life it appears permanent and unchanging, but to the forester it represents the climax of a long succession of events.No wooded landscape we see today has been forest for all time. Plants have minimum requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually every part of Earth's surface has at some time been either too dry or too cold for plants to survive. However, as soon as climatic conditions in favor of plant life, a fascinating sequence of changes occurs, called a primary succession.First to colonize the barren land are the lowly lichens, surviving on bare rock. Slowly, the acids produced by these organisms crack the rock surface,, plant debris accumulates, and mosses establish a shallow root-hold. Ferns may follow and, with short grasses and shrubs, gradually form a covering of plant life. Roots probe even deeper into the developing soil and eventually large shrubs give way to the first trees. These grow rapidly, cutting off sunlight from the smaller plants, and soon establish complete domination---closing their ranks and forming a climax community which may endure for thousands of years.Yet even this community is not everlasting. Fire may destroy its outright and settlers may cut it d own to gain land for pasture or cultivation. Of course the land is then abandoned, a secondary succession will take over, developing much faster on the more hospitable soil. Shrubs and trees are among the early invaders, their seeds carried by the wind, by birds and lodged in the coats of mammals.For as long as it stands and thrives, the forest is a vast machine storing energy and many elements essential for life.1. Why does the forest strike mankind as permanent?A)The trees are so tall. B).It is renewed each season.C) Our lives are short in comparison. D) It is an essential part of our lives.2. What has sometimes caused plants to die out in the past?A) Interference from foresters. B) Variations in climate.C) The absence of wooded land. D) The introduction of new types of plants.3. In a "primary succession" (Line 5, Para. 2), what makes it possible for mosses to take root?A) The type of rock. B) The amount of sunlight.C) The amount of enclosure. D) The effect of lichens.4. What condition is needed for shrubs to become established in the "secondary succession''?A)Ferns must take root.B) Their seeds were carried to the abandoned land.C) More soil must accumulate.D) The ground must be covered with grass.5. Why is a "secondary succession" ( Para. 4) quicker?A) The ground is more suitable. B) There is more space for new plants.C) Birds and animals bring new seeds. D) It is supported by the forest.Passage 4The chief purpose of work is not to produce things but to build the man, It is not so important what shape or form our work may take; what is vitally important is our attitude toward that work..Even if the particular duty is one which doesn't seem worth doing, if you must do it, it is important to do it right. Even if no one else will ever know whether you did it right or not, you will know. By making a commitment (承诺) to quality work, you make a commitment to yourself to develop your abilities and self-respect, to do the best you can do and be the best you can be. When you do as little as possible or just enough to get by, you are not merely cheating your employer, your customers, your clients, and your co-workers, but most importantly, you cheat yourself. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to develop pride and self-worth. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to meet a challenge and develop your own inner powers and abilities. You may be able to get away with cheating others, but you never get away with cheating yourself.Thus, the key is a commitment to yourself to use every possible opportunity for self-development and treat every work assignment, no matter how small or boring, as a challenge that can be used in your development.Work is a projection (投影) of self. Consciousness (感觉、意识)can regard any job as a potential opportunity for self-expression, for play, for creativity, for the furtherance(推动)of social objectives, and it can arrange the factors in the job so that they form a means of self-expression.Most jobs contain at least some limited options for creativity. To the extent that any job can be done in different ways, the job presents you with an opportunity to project your unique abilities and values into that job. Any type of communication, written or spoken, presents a significant opportunity for creative expression. Even if your efforts are reviewed and must be toned down tofit into the mold (模型) of your organization, there is always a slight opening through which you can project your unique personality. Use these opportunities to express and confirm your existence.1. The most important thing about work is ____________.A. to produce thingsB. the shape one's work takesC. the amount of money it makesD. one's attitude towards the work2. If the work doesn't seem worth doing, you should ___________.A. give it upB. tell others to do itC. stop in the middleD. perform it carefully3. What can work assignments offer people?A. An opportunity to develop oneself.B. A chance to get away with cheating themselvesC. Few options for creativity.D. A way to get rid of your unique personality.4. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Sometimes you have to adjust yourself to your work.B. There is space for you to show your creativity.C. Work must be done in one way in order to be the most efficientD. You may never cheat yourself.5. The main idea of the passage isA. how to improve your creativityB. the importance of projecting your values into your jobC. when to express yourselfD. how to change one's personalityPassage 5Human migrations (移居国外) within recorded history have transformed the entire character of lands and continents and the composition of their racial, ethnic and language groups. The map of Europe, for example, is the product of several major early migrations involving the Germanic peoples, the Slavs, and the Turks. The overseas migration of Europeans during this period totaled about 60 million people.The largest migration in history has been called the Great Atlantic Migration from Europe to North America, the first major wave of which began in the 1840s with mass movements from Ireland and Germany. In the 1880s a second and larger wave developed from eastern and southern Europe; between 1880 and 1910 some 17 million Europeans entered the United States. The total number of Europeans reaching the United States amounted to 37 million between 1820 and 1980. From 1801 to 1914 about million people moved from European to Asiatic Russia ., Siberia), and between World Wars I and II about 6 million more chose to move there, not counting the vast number of deportees who were forced to go to Siberia's labor camps. Since World War II the largest migrations have involved groups from developing countries moving to the industrialized nations. Some 13 million people moved across borders to become permanent residents of Western Europe from the 1960s through the 1980s, and more than 10 million permanent immigrants were admitted legally to the United States in that same period, with illegal immigration adding several millions more.Slave migrations and mass expulsions also have been part of human history for thousands of years. The largest slave migrations were probably those compelled by European slave traders operating in Africa from the 16th to the 19th century; perhaps 20 million slaves were taken to the Americas, though a large number died in terrible conditions of the trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The largest mass expulsions (驱逐) have probably been those imposed by Nazi Germany, whichdeported 7 to 8 million persons during World War II (1939-45).

These people are unjustly accused, abused, and defamed--often termed sick or morbid.One-third of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too.Workaholics are the achievers, the excellent. There is a national conspiracy against excellence-------an undue admiration of commonness and mediocrity. It is as though we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something.Some popular psychologists say that the workaholic has an inferiority complex which leads to overcompensation. This is certainly not the case. Inferiority, or low esteem, describes laziness more accurately than it describes dedication.We do not seem to realize that very little excellence is achieved by living a well-balanced life. Edison, Ford, Einstein, Freud all had single-minded devotion to work whereby they sacrificed many things, including family and friendship. The accusation is made that workaholics bear guilt by not being good parents or spouses. But guilt can exist m the balanced life also. Consider how many "normal" people find, at middle-age, that they have never done anything well, they are going to settle to less than what they could have become.1. From this passage we know that workaholic is a term referring to those___________.A)who enjoy work more than anything elseB)who make greater contributions than othersC) who make uncommon sacrifices in their personal lifeD)all of the above2. The author's main concern in this passage is to __________.A) point out the role the workaholic plays in the American economyB) defend people who are addicted to workC) encourage us not to worry about our imperfectionD) consider the difficulties that confront as at middle-age3. The author of this passage would most likely agree that the workaholic____________.A)is mentally ill.B) performs an insignificant proportion of American business.C)will not have the regrets that many "normal" people face at middle-age.D) suffers from low self-esteem.4. According to this passage, ___________.A) Freud led a well-balanced lifeB) generally speaking, workaholics can be helpedC)workaholics should be admiredD)so-called "normal" people are truly the sick people among us5. According to the author, one can hardly achieve excellence unless one __________.A) lives as abnormal live B) sacrifices friendship and familyC) has total devotion to work D) ignores popular opinionsPassage 7Evaluating employee performance is a key of management skills. The challenge is to give the employees an accurate picture of chief accomplishments, and of the areas in which they need to improve. Both are important accomplishments because they give the employee a sense of pride in the work and basis on which to build future achievements, and areas for improvement, because they give the employee some goals to roach for.Often, employees fear that the evaluation will be a negative experience. This fear alone can engender defensiveness and tension, which result in a serf-fulfilling prediction. Thesupervisor must take pains to relieve the employee's fear and make the evaluation a participatory event. An employee who contributes ideas to his or her evaluation will be much more likely to agree with the outcome and be willing to follow the recommendations.The employees must always bear in mind that the sole legitimate domain of an employee appraisal system is to improve employees' performance. While areas needing improvement must be reviewed, this should always be done in the spirit of discovering goals that the employee can work toward. This holds true for reviewing successes as well. While praise for past achievements may be used as reward, to engender loyalty, or for other reasons, at the time of evaluation, the primary reason to look at the person's successes is to determine areas in which he or she can continue to excel; perhaps, the most effective way to make the evaluation a participatory event is to ask the employee to come prepared to the meeting. The employer and the employee each should carefully review the job description prior to the evaluation meeting and should make notes on areas in which the employee had difficulty or has made a contribution. At the evaluation meeting, the employer must establish a positive and comfortable mood. The employee should be invited to review and comfortable mood. The employee should be invited to review his or her lists first. Almost always the employee's notes will be very similar to what the employer has written. If the employer simply verifies what the employee has said, the employee will be much less anxious about the procedure, and much more likely to work toward the goals.1. Evaluation is often a negative experience because __________.A) the employee has defend himselfB) the employee is tense and the employer does not relieve thisC) the employee has done a bad jobD) the employer is going to give up employee some goals that he cannot reach2. Evaluation should focus on ___________.A) accomplishments B) areas that need improvementC) a sense of pride in the work D) both A) and B)3. One way to relieve employee's anxiety is ___________.A) to set easy goalsB) to ask the employee to contribute ideasC) to praise the employee's success but say nothing of what he has not doneD) not to invite the employee to the meeting4. The sole legitimate domain of evaluation is to ___________.A) improve employees' performanceB) tell employees how well they have doneC) gain participation in the processD) tell employees what they should have done5. The key to participatory evaluation is that both parties ___________.A) are comfortable in the settingB) get to talkC) contribute ideas and agree on the outcomeD) know in which areas the employee has made a contributionPassage 8Every day, we are influenced by mass media. Although some critics of the media claim that these means of communication are used mostly to control our thinking and get us to buy products we don't need, they agree that the media also contributes to keeping people informed. In other words, while risks do exist, the benefits of the media are far more than the disadvantages. Most of the messages are designed either to inform or entertain—and neither of these goals can be considered risky or harmful.If consumers of the media could be taught at an early age to examine messages critically, ., to think carefully about what is being communicated—they would be able to take advantage of the information and enjoy the entertainment without being hurt by it. The key to critical thinking is recognizing the motives of the news item or writers, the advertisers, and so on. Are both sides of the issue being presented'? Have enough facts about the product being advertised been presented?Furthermore, citizens need the opportunity to hear news, opinions, and public affairs. Information about current events is presented in depth on publicly funded TV channels and radio stations as well as in newspapers. In addition, the public broadcasting media can help viewers and listeners to complete their education. Recent immigrants, for example, can improve their command of English through TV and radio, and in addition, some college courses are taught on educational television.Another recognized advantage of the media is that it gives people information they need for their daily lives: weather and traffic reports are good examples. While commercials and advertising do not necessarily present accurate information, they do make people aware of the availability of products that could improve their lives. In addition, they create a larger demand for some items, which may lead to a fall in their price.While the media can be a valuable means of educating the public, when most people turn on the TV set or the radio, they want to be entertained. As a result most programming consists of movies, plays, music, humorous shows, game shows, and sports events. Some of these offerings are of low quality, but on the other hand, many are fun to watch and interestingly written and well presented.Even though the mass media can be misused, most of its effects are positive. We are all influenced by television, and radio as well as movies, magazines and newspapers. If we are careful to examine their message critically they can all be of benefit to our lives.1. What is the main point of the author?A. Advertising is harmful when it presents inaccurate information.B. The positive effects of the mass media are more than the negative ones.C. People should learn to take advantage of the media's benefits.D. Television is more useful as a means of entertainment than as a means of providinginformation.2. According to the author, the two main purposes of mass media are to_____________.A. control our thinking and get us to buy useless productsB. provide people with information and entertainmentC. make people aware of the availability of products and create a large demand for someitemsD. express the views of the public and help improve recent immigrants' English3. The author feels that consumers of the mass media should be taught at an early age to___________.A. bring their imagination into full play when watching programs of low qualityB. buy products advertised in commercials so that the demand increasesC. turn off the TV set when a ridiculous program comes onD. think critically about the messages brought to them4. It can be learned from paragraph 3 that citizens will be in a better position to express their views and make their choices if they are ___________.A.highly educated through TV and radioB. well protected by the governmentC. highly paid by their employersD. well informed by the media5. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. The mass media offers information needed in our daily lives.B. Publicly funded broadcasting does not present information about current wants indepth.C. Information provided by commercials and advertising is always accurate.D. Many TV and radio programs are not interesting.Passage 9When dining in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad, main course or entree, and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didn't have to worry about whether the salad came before, or after the main course since they didn' t eat salad at all. Chomping on greens was once considered sissy, and Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New York's Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing the palate, and being ready for the cheese. Why Americans eat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: the custom may be related to the slimming craze, for "salad first" may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers' impatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep them busy while the main courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; or probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as a trick--the meagreness of a meal is less noticeable if it comes after "free" salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.1. In American restaurants, people are usually served in the order of __________.A) soup, salad, main course, drinks and dessertB) drinks, salad, main course, soup and dessertC) drinks, soup, salad, main course and dessertD) drinks, soup, main course, salad and dessert2. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, ____________.A) Americans ate the salad before the main courseB) Americans ate the salad after the main courseC) Americans ate the salad either before or after the main courseD) Americans didn't eat the salad at all3. The sentence "Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been。

We do this mostly by speaking to other people and listening to what they say to us, and when we are close to them we can do it very easily.However, our voices will not travel very far even w hen we shout.The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a Scots man who was born in 1847. On June 2nd, 1875, he heard the first sounds from the other end of a piece of an electric wire. Some months later, he spoke the first words ever to be sent over a distance by electricity.Although Bell had made the first telephone, at first none seemed interested. He showed his instrument at an exhibition but it was regarded as no more than a toy.Fortunately for Bell, the King of Brazil happened to pass by and heard of his invention. When the King heard Bell’s voice on the receiver, he dropped the instrument in surprise and cried, “It talks.” Next day Bell’s invention was famous.Another inventor, Thomas Edison, helped to make Bell’s telephone even more practical.31. Which sentence is the right statement?A. In the old times we hardly communicated with others.B. Before the year of 1875, we couldn’t communicate with others by speaking.C. Before the telephone was invented, w e couldn’t communicate with others.D. Now we can communicate with others by speaking even though we are far away.32. When he spoke the first words over a distance by electricity, Bell was _____years old.A. 28B. 29C. 39D. 3833. Where did Bell come from?A. America.B. England.C. Germany.D. Brazil.34.

Love can be seen everywhere. Y et surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold. First, love is a very complex(复杂) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly unlike many radial emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy ea ch other’s company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic; a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is ofte n asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.41. The word “saved” in the first sentence of this passage means ______.A. leftB. relaxedC. set freeD. kept up42. Love is a lasting, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing, the very opposite emotion of which is ______.A. angerB. fearC. jealousyD. hate43. Which characteristic is shared by different kinds of love?A. A strong negative emotion toward someone.B. A strong positive feeling toward another.C. Unhappy feeling toward someone.D. Jealous feeling toward someone.44. According to the passage, hate is caused by ______.A. anger, jealousy or some other factorsB. anger, danger and hurtC. caring, protection, excitement and tendernessD. complex, strong positive emotion45. Which of the following is true?A. Love has been the subject of less scientific research because it is too simple an emotion.B. Radical love is so difficult to describe and measure that less medical attention has beenpaid to it.C. To hate is always too bad.D. We can have at the same time two opposite feelings for another.Passage 4From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures (珍宝).Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louver (罗浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.The Louver has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (堡垒) with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat (护城河) to keep out the enemies.Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louver became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When FrancisⅠbecame King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da V inci from Italy. Da Vinci’s “M ona Lisa” (蒙娜·丽莎) is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louver became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louver to see the masterpieces.46. When did the French king begin to live in the Louver?A. In 1190.B. By 1350.C. In 1515.D. Before 1350.47. How long has the Louver been a museum?A. For over 800 years.B. Since 1350.C. Since 1515.D.

In public museums everyone has a chance to enjoy the works of art.III. Cloze51 afternoon last week, my three sons were playing peacefully in the back yard, 52 the ball from one to 53 .

The 4.part of it wasthat my grandfather, who had always been quite humorous,could municate after that. He just didn't seem to bethe 6.person anymore.My grandfather was a fat man. After the 7., it took my grandmother, my mother and me to dress him each morning.After he was dressed, we 8.his pillow and sat him in hisbed. His everyday life was wholly 9.of watching whatever was on the TV. He couldn't 10.change the channel.The doctors had worked hard to 11.him alive. However, a few weeks 12.they told us something disappointing. The surgical 13.had not been successful. My grandfather's condition had no 14.of improvement. Next, X-rays showed my grandfather had obtained a lung 15.—a frequent problem with stroke patients. Drugs would make him sick and could not 16.him.That was the time for us to make a 17.decision. On the one hand, we could not 18.to see our once vigorous grandfather suffering. He was living the painful, limited life to which the stroke had 19.him. On the other hand, we hated to be the one to decide to let nature take its course.At last we decided that the right thing to do would be to let him die with 20..He died a peaceful death.Questions 21 to 40 are based on the following passage.Sometimes medical advancements present us with a toughchoice to make. People think medicine has created some 21.questions to sort out. For example, modern medical treatment can keep the body living well after patients have lost 22.tolive.

Many believe that people nowadays are kept alive for much 40.than they should be.Some even believe that the kindest thing to do for a person who is dying and in a good deal of pain is to help them to die quickly and painlessly.You must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1. The passage concerns ________.A. buying a house for a newly married coupleB. buying a large house for a growing familyC. buying a better house when people have more money tospendD. buying a smaller house for older people whose childrenhave left home2.The passage implies that grown-up children are _______.A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB. distant from their parentsC. friendly but not very closeD. annoying3.The author decided to move ________.A. when his house gave him too much work and cost toomuch to runB. when he grew tired of his houseC. when he suddenly got the strength to do soD. before the house collapsed4.The author advises people in his own situation ________.A. to move into a very small houseB. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces offurniture will fitC. not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5.According to the passage, the new house had _________.A. two floorsB. three floorsC. four floorsD. two bathroomsQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when all necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job.In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that quality people, individuals who are highlyable to teach, will not do it if they are not offered enough money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.6.In the author's opinion, the job of a teacher ________.A. is done best by family membersB. is too complex for most peopleC. is free of rulesD. is important for society7.The cause for the new job of "teacher" was ________.A. the increased importance of laborB. the need for specialistsC. the strict rules of the governmentD. the increased number of children in school8.According to the writer, ________ is on the increasenowadays.A. a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselvesB. a need for teachers to teach responsibility to studentsC. the numbers of students who are entering schoolD. the numbers of people who take the job of teacher9.We learn from this passage that ________.A. money encourages teachers to be responsibleB. money is not a responsible reason to become a teacherC. money is a good way to attract people to become teachersD. money was much higher for teachers in the past10.What do people hardly ever say these days?A. Anyone can be a teacher.B. Progress is being made.C. Teachers have abilities.D. Quality people are teaching the young.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.11.It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they oftentalk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are alwaysappearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than anyother subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later12.According to the passage, driving examiners _______.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selectioninterviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervisingexaminersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if theirdriving is of a high standard13.There isn't a test center in every town because ________.A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from thepermanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidatesand the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close topermanent centers14.We can judge from this passage that ________.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by asupervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervisingexaminerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone onThursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability todrive15.It can be inferred from this passage that ________.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners duringthe testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spaceQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog. Equipment operator Dick Kemp is the proud owner of over 90 old trucks. Some of his vehicles date back as far as 1916, just twenty years after the first motorized truck was ever built and a time when there were only 160,000 trucks in the United States-compared with the 36,000,000 trucks that roar along the nation's highways nowadays. One of Kemp's most unusual trucks is a 1916 Selden with wooden spikes which was once used as a street sprinkler. Kemp began his collection in 1952 with a 1930 Bulldog Mackwhich he bought for only $50. This same vehicle was valued in the year 2006 at nearly a thousand times that price. Every year thousands of visitors come from all over the U.S. and Canada to see Kemp's collection, which is exhibited in a large garage and in a yard next-door. The Mack Truck Museum is open for public viewing and there is no charge. There is even a model truck playground for children to play in while their parents look at the real things.Kemp does his own restoration work, making all the trucks look shiny and run smoothly. Many truck parts he has to make for himself because manufacturers have discontinued production long, long ago. He has received countless offers to sell his trucks, but his answer is always the same: "Nothing for Sale".16.The passage says that Dick Kemp's job is ________.A. museum workerB. equipment operatorC. truck driverD. truck manufacturer17.In which year was Kemp's unusual Selden truck made?A. 1952.B. 1916.C. 1930.D. 2006.18.Where does Kemp show his trucks?A.

Kemp's truck playgroundC. Restoration workD. Kemp's collection20.What does Kemp do himself?A. Order discontinued parts.B. Operate the museum.C. Repair the trucks.D. Sell the trucks.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the same passage or dialog.A devastating quake ripped through Turkey. American structural engineers say there was something that might have lessened the damage and saved lives. Pictures of the devastation in Turkey show us what engineers already know: a powerful earthquake has an ally in a weak building.Jim Malley of Degenkolb Engineers said, "The most common form of multi-story building in Turkey is a concrete frame." He says, "These are very heavy buildings and it's not uncommon for them to collapse in earthquakes because of the extra weight."Malley says the risk of building collapse increases when the first floor is a shop, because glass windows replace brick walls. "Undoubtedly, there was a glass store front at this level, and that made it much weaker. As a result, we got the collapse of that first story." Also, Malley says Turkey's concrete frame buildings often lack reinforcing steel.In California, each big quake teaches engineers another way of dealing with the problem. They have learned to use steel frames to reduce the weight of new buildings.Janiele Maffei shows a San Francisco skyscraper under construction. She says, "The building is designed to move and to sway, and the connections to stay together."The 1994 Northridge, California quake taught people about the weakness of rigid joints. Engineers found a simple solution. Janiele Maffei demonstrates this in the building under way."See to the right of the connection, see the structure? See how it looks smaller in some points? That's called a dog bone; you can see how it looks like a dog bone, how it is small in the middle and big on the ends. What that will do is it will take the stresses away from the connection, and concentrate them in that smaller section of the structure."21.How can an earthquake be helpful?A. It can cause buildings that are too old to collapse.B. It can get rid of the buildings that are made of concrete.C. It can teach people how to make safer buildings.D. It can teach people how to be safe in buildings.22.What can make a building heavy, and therefore increase therisk of it collapsing?A. A shop on the first floor.B. The use of concrete.C. Glass store fronts.D.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or exchanging e-mails with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.It’s fast: it allows you to talk to six people at once. It’s convenient: you can use three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “Shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.1. When people are online, they talk by ____-.A. speaking languages other than EnglishB. exchanging e-mails with people they don’t knowC. using technology their elders don’t useD. using an especially short form of English2. According to the passage, the Internet allows many people in the world to _____.A. talk at the same time with one anotherB. discover their friends and relativesC. create a language that is simple and newD. find out things that can make them laugh3. What does the sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” mean?A. People should use words to express themselves in a proper way.B. People should know what time it is when they are talking.C. People online have to express themselves in a simple way.D. People should communicate with each other in a funny way.4. If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to you're A/S/L question, it means_____.A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is tallB. you are talking to a boy who is 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes.5. Which of the following is a way to save time online?A. Not using capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Not letting dust form on your keyboard.C. Using the “Shift” key when sending e-mails.D. Coming up with ideas as quickly as possible.Passage 2Many doctors are now trained in techniques to lessen tension and stress. Here health professionals reveal their favorite methods.Comfort with food. When diet expert Judith Wurtman is stressed out, she does what a lot of people do this time of year: she reaches for food. But in her case, it’s a healthy rice cake ortwo. “My research suggests that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) raise levels of a brain chemical, which has a calming effect on the entire body,”says the MIT research scientist. “So signs of stress—such as anger, tension, and inability to focus—are eased.”Run from your problems. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, who popularized aerobics (有氧运动) through his 1968 book by that name, handles his own stress with a daily after-work run. He knows that physical activity reduces anxiety and depression. “Aerobic exercise is the best way to dissipate stress,” says Cooper.Look to the light side. On his way to the hospital where his father was to have surgery, Joel Goodman shared a hotel bus with the anxious relatives of several patients. The driver began telling his stressed-out passengers a few jokes. “Then he did some magic tricks that had my mother and me laughing.” Goodman says. “In that five-minute ride he taught us that humor can lessen our stress.”The surgery was successful, and Goodman was so moved by his experience that he researched laughter’s power. “A good laugh relaxes muscles, reduces blood pressure, restrains stress-related hormones and enhances the immune system (免疫系统),” he says.Go green. Coffee, loaded with hidden sources of caffeine, stimulates (刺激) the nervous system and can make you feel stressed more easily. That’s why Arizona doctor Andrew Weil, author of the best seller Spontaneous Healing, does not take caffeine. “When I want gentle energy, I drink green tea. It contains a caffeine-like element”, Weil says. It also contains compounds that, some studies suggest, have anti-cancer effects.1. The following are ways to free you from stress EXCEPT _____.A. looking at things in a more relaxed wayB. getting a lot of sleep during the dayC. eating some food with carbohydratesD. doing some aerobic exercise2. Eating or drinking the following can be helpful in freeing you from stress EXCEPT _____.A. drink green teaB. eat some breadC. eat some rice cakeD. drink a lot of coffee 3. A good laugh is very helpful EXCEPT to _____.A. reduce blood pressureB. restrain stress-related hormonesC. enhance the immune systemD. take a holiday4. What is the meaning of the word “dissipate” in the part “Run from Your Problems”?A. Lessen.B. Depress.C. Disturb.D. Level.5. Which of the following group of people can have a happier life, according to the passage?A. Those who are continuously eating something.B. Those who are always engaged in working.C. Those who use right methods to reduce tension.D. Those who study medicine or psychology.Passage 3In my opinion, there is only one legitimate(合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.Some opponents(反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions(限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason being that killing of game should be done in as humane(人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long gun, rifles and shotguns are effective arms for hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or a shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should。

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or exchanging e-mails with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking21 / 82at the same time.It’s fast: it allows you to talk to six people at once. It’s convenient: you can use three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “Shift”key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.1. When people are online, they talk by ____-.A. speaking languages other than EnglishB. exchanging e-mails with people they don’t know22 / 82C. using technology their elders don’t useD. using an especially short form of English2. According to the passage, the Internet allows many people in the world to _____.A. talk at the same time with one anotherB. discover their friends and relativesC. create a language that is simple and newD. find out things that can make them laugh3. What does the sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” mean?A. People should use words to express themselves in a proper way.B. People should know what time it is when they are talking.C. People online have to express themselves in a simple way.D. People should communicate with each other in a funny way.4. If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to you're A/S/L question, it means_____.A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is tallB. you are talking to a boy who is 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes.23 / 825. Which of the following is a way to save time online?A. Not using capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Not letting dust form on your keyboard.C. Using the “Shift” key when sending e-mails.D. Coming up with ideas as quickly as possible. Passage 2Many doctors are now trained in techniques to lessen tension and stress. Here health professionals reveal their favorite methods.Comfort with food. When diet expert Judith Wurtman is stressed out, she does what a lot of people do this time of year: she reaches for food. But in her case, it’s a healthy rice cake or two. “My research suggests that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) raise levels of a brain chemical, which has a calming effect on the entire body,”says the MIT research scientist. “So signs of stress—such as anger, tension, and inability to focus—are eased.”Run from your problems. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, who popularized aerobics (有氧运动) through his 1968 book by that name, handles his own stress with a daily after-work run. He knows that physical activity reduces anxiety and depression. “Aerobic exercise is the best way to dissipate stress,” says Cooper.Look to the light side. On his way to the hospital where his father was to have surgery, Joel Goodman shared a hotel bus with the anxious relatives of several patients.24 / 82The driver began telling his stressed-out passengers a few jokes. “Then he did some magic tricks that had my mother and me laughing.”Goodman says. “In that five-minute ride he taught us that humor can lessen our stress.”The surgery was successful, and Goodman was so moved by his experience that he researched laughter’s power. “A good laugh relaxes muscles, reduces blood pressure, restrains stress-related hormones and enhances the immune system (免疫系统),” he says.Go green. Coffee, loaded with hidden sources of caffeine, stimulates (刺激) the nervous system and can make you feel stressed more easily. That’s why Arizona doctor Andrew Weil, author of the best seller Spontaneous Healing, does not take caffeine. “When I want gentle energy, I drink green tea. It contains a caffeine-like element”, Weil says. It also contains compounds that, some studies suggest, have anti-cancer effects.1. The following are ways to free you from stress EXCEPT _____.A. looking at things in a more relaxed wayB. getting a lot of sleep during the dayC. eating some food with carbohydratesD. doing some aerobic exercise2. Eating or drinking the following can be helpful in freeing you from stress EXCEPT _____.A. drink green teaB. eat some breadC. eat some rice cakeD. drink a lot of25 / 8226 / 82coffee3. A good laugh is very helpful EXCEPT to _____.A. reduce blood pressureB. restrainstress-related hormonesC. enhance the immune systemD. take a holiday4. What is the meaning of the word “dissipate ” in thepart “Run from Your Problems ”?A. Lessen.B. Depress.C. Disturb.D. Level.5. Which of the following group of people can have ahappier life, according to the passage?A. Those who are continuously eating something.B. Those who are always engaged in working.C. Those who use right methods to reduce tension.D. Those who study medicine or psychology.Passage 3In my opinion, there is only one legitimate(合法的)handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practicedat objects which are properly monitored and usually quitesafe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons ”,seen as such by the sport ’s lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other smallobjects in one ’s backyard is not and should not beconsidered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can bea very dangerous practice.Some opponents(反对者) of handgun control have statedthat we are out to stop all hunting and that controllingthe handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions(限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason being that killing of game should be done in as humane(人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long gun, rifles and shotguns are effective arms for hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or a shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with the killing of people.1. In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when ______.A. hunters shoot at animalsB. they aim at a criminalC. objects are under controlD. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard2. Most states limit the type of guns used for hunting because ______.A. they want to control the use of gunsB. some guns are not effectiveC. animals are very strong27 / 82。

新视野英语4复习题PassagePassage 1Anna arrived far too early、Usually she left things to the last mute, but today was a very special occasion、It was almost as if by getting there an hour beforehand she hoped to cause the plane to arrive sooner、Thoughts raced through her mind、"Do I look all right? Wi11 he notice that I' m wearing a new trouser suit? Will he even recognize me?"

caught a first glimpse, through a break in the clouds, of the town far below、This was his third visit, and looked like being an annual event、Certainly it was very flattering that they had invited him to be the guest lecturer at their Autumn Congress yet again、The Chairman of the Organizing mittee, as a matter of courtesy, had offered to meet him at the airport, as he had done on previous occasions、This time, however, it was not necessary, partly because Joe was quite familiar with the city, but mainly because Anna had said that she could take the afternoon off in order to e and meet

himPassage 2One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes、It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong, and you were right about that、"I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago、He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons、Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing、I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping、On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place、There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons、The cartons were stacked three or four feet high、I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks、Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons、For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work、The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened、When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit、He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken egg、I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good、Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not、1、How old was the author when he wrote this article?A) About 8、C) About

knocked off the stacks of cartons was severely reprimanded by the manager、4、What is the best title for the passage?A) An Incident That I Remember、B) I Used to Be the Culprit、C) It's Hard to Admit One's Mistakes、D) A Case of Mistaken Identity、5、The tone of the article expresses the author'sA) admiration for the manager' s willingness to admit the mistakes he madeB) regret for the mistake he made in the grocery storeC) indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons of eggsD) anger to the manager for his wrong chargePassage 3As we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak parts in its various department、Staff training must have a purpose, which is defined when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications、A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behavior, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it、When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification、This specifies what the training Department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period、There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them、Successful training programmes depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them、It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place "off the job" in the classroom, but training in using these skills takes place "on the job", by means of such activities as practice in the workshop、It is always difficult to evaluate the costs and savings of a training programme、The success of such a programmes depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training、A pany can often check on savings in time and cost by examining the work performed by the workers and technicians who have pleted a training programme、The evaluation of management training is much more plex than that、1、To be successful in our training programmes, one must understand the difference betweenA) the savings in time and cost_________、B) learning about the skill、and

the training of its staff is highly necessary、B) A training specification is based on the information collected from a job description and a job specification、C) Learning about skills and training in using skills usually don't take place at the same place、D) It is easier to evaluate management training than to evaluate the training of workers and technicians、5、The best title for the passage might be__________、A) The Importance of Staff Training、B) Staff Training ProgrammeC) How to Describe and Specify a Job D) A Successful Training ProgrammePassage 4Washington Irving was America's first man of letters to be known internationally、His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States、He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of the time in either country, delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States、The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New、Thackeray described Irving as a "gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty, socially the equal of the most refined Europeans、" In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford--an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation--and he received the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain、Irving's background provides little to explain his literary achievements、A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling, He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously、He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater、1、The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was ___________、A) a man whose personal charm enabled him to sell basically inferior workB) a man who was able to move from literature to politicsC) a writer who had great success both in his own country and abroadD) America' s first man of letters2、What is implied

his love for the theater、B) It developed his skills in business transaction、C) It promoted his interest in law、D) It had almost no effect on his life、Passage 5When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer' s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase、In most cases, this action will produce results、However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction、A simple and mon method used by many consumers is to plain directly to the store manager、In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her plaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled、In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer' s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim、Consumers should plain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the plaint in a letter、plaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firefly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question、If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements、For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound ing out of the right one is unclear" is better than" This stereo (立体声音响) does not work"、The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer、If so, the consumer should do this, stating the plaint as politely and as firefly as possible、But if a polite plaint dogs not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further、She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights、1、When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to ___________、A) plain in person to the mangerB) threaten to take the matter to courtC) write a firm letter of plaint to the store of purchaseD) show some written proof of the purchase

demands of5、The passage tells us ____________、A) how to deal with plaints from customersB) how to avoid buying a faulty itemC) how to make an effective plaint about a faulty itemD) how, to settle a consumer's plaint about a faulty itemPassage 6When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement、When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement、If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement、If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another、All day, every day, people who want to sell you something pete to catch your attention、As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere、In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work、Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and radio stations are privately owned、The government does not give them money、So where does the money e from? It es from advertisement、Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses、Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question、For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of "keeping your name before the public"、And some people thought that advertising was "troth well told"、Now more and more people tend to define it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors through various media、First, advertising is usually paid for、Various sponsors pay for the ads we see, read, and hear over the various media、Second, advertising is non-personal、It is not face-to-face munication、Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people、Third, advertising is usually persuasive、Directly or indirectly it urges people to do something、All advertisements try to convince people that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them、Forth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified、From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a corporation, or a mittee, or an individual、Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media、Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films、Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards、1、The existence of the privately owned mass media depends financially on __________、A) the government B) their owner' s familiesC) advertisements D) the audience2、The passage seems to say that different definitions of advertising are given due to _______、A) the change of time B)the subject of the advertisementsC) the people' s age difference D) the people' s different perspective3、According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements?A) Corporations、B) mittees、C) Individuals、D) All of the above、4、Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media?A) Newspapers、B) The mail、C) Magazines、D) Films、5、According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of advertisements is NOT true?A) Advertising must be honest and amusing、B) Advertising is meant for large groups of people、C) Advertising urges people to do something directly or indirectly、D) The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisement、Passage 7The key transportation technology for the opening years of the 21st century will be telemunications、What does telemunications have to do with international transportation? The obvious linkage is helping ships and aircraft navigate more efficiently, cutting time and operating expenses、This means lower costs of imported goods and cheaper travel for business and pleasure、A less obvious connection is the ability of a clothing manufacturer, for instance, to know the exact location anywhere in the world of materials and finished goods so that inventories (细账) -- and the associated transport, storage, and handling costs——are reduced sharply、The explosive aspect of the telemunications/transportation revolution is ing in traditional service industries and functions: technical services, data entry, financial management, software programming, etc、Consider Fidelity Investments of Boston, whose British subsidiary (子公司) sells shares in German panies to German investors by telephone from London、Cheap telemunications provide the global transportation "highway" for the work that is performed by Fidelity's customer representatives, Irish call center technicians, Indian software engineers, and Jamaican data entry clerks、These white-collar activities, many of them paying well above average wages, are being steadily more important in all economies、Moreover, they now are "contestable" by any country in the world that has a decent telemunications system and an appropriately skilled labor force、What this means is that the last major barrier to international trade ——distance——is being eliminated for an increasing portion of the global economy、Transportation costs no longer will protect inefficient producers、Buyers of goods and services——software, document processing, accounting, tax advice, anything that can be digitized and transported electronically——will have access to suppliers all over the world、1、In the early years of the 21st century, transportation will especially benefit from ________、A、cheap telemunicationsB、development of shipping and international air transportC、international tradeD、skilled labor force2、The example of Fidelity Investments of Boston shows that ___________、A、shares can be bought and sold by telephoneB、white-collar workers' wage is more than the average wageC、distance as the last barrier to international trade is being eliminatedD、white-collar activities are facing the challenges from all over the world3、In Para、4, "Transportation costs no longer will protect inefficient producers" probably means that _________、A、transportation costs will protect efficient producersB、buyers will no longer turn to inefficient producers for the sake of lower transportation costsC、inefficient producers will no longer take transportation costs into considerationD、some producers are inefficient because the transportation costs of their goods are high4、It can be inferred from the passage that _____________、A、the price of imported goods will be lower than beforeB、white-collar workers are being replaced by putersC、clothing manufacturers will earn less moneyD、global telemunications will result in the plete disappearance of distance5、The passage is mainly about ___________、A、the development of transportation technologyB、the connection between international transportation and telemunicationsC、the advances of traditional service industriesD、the influence of telemunications on international tradePassage 8Regular, moderate alcohol intake——one or two drinks a day ——appears to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to investigators from the study、The team's findings were presented at the World Alzheimer Congress 2000 meeting here、Dr、Lindsay A、Farrer of Boston University presented the findings at the Alzheime meeting、In an interview with Reuters Health, Farrer said, "Men and women who drink one or two drinks a day had a significantly lower risk of Alzheimer's disease pared to nondrinkers、" The investigators reported that pared with nondrinkers, persons drinking more than one to two drinks a day had about 30% lower risk, while those who drank less than one or two drinks a day had about 50% lower risk、"From a public health standpoint, it would be premature (不成熟得) to remend a drink or two as a preventive measure until we see more results," Farrer said、He noted that the USDA (美国农业部) guidelines currently remend one or two drinks a day, if there are no contraindications(禁忌)、"This is a modest level of consumption and in terms of heart disease, this consumption has been associated with a beneficial effect、"The investigators conclude that more studies are needed "to more precisely define the minimal (最小得) level and durationof exposure (to alcohol) necessary to realize a benefit、" The study findings about smoking and Alzheimer risk are less clear、"There is no protective effect of smoking for men, but for women who are not carriers of (the gene) APOE 4, there was a trend toward a protective effect," the researchers report, "While among women who are carriers, smoking appears to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease、"1、Which is TRUE about the findings of Dr、Lindsay A、Farrer?A、People drinking more than one to two drinks a day had about a 20% higher risk of Alzheimer's disease than those whodrank less than one or two drinks a day、B、People drinking more than one to two drinks a day had about a 20% lower risk than those who drank less than one or twodrinks a day、C、People drinking more than one to two drinks a day had about a 30% higher risk thanthose who drank less than one or two drinks a day、D、Nondrinkers had about a 30% lower risk than those drinking more than one to twodrinks a day、2、Why would it be premature to remend a drink or two to the public?A、Because the investigators cannot get the support from the USDA guidelines、B、Because the investigators lack adequate evidence to prove the effect of moderatedrinking、C、Because it is extremely dangerous for some people to do so、、D、Because there is no clear evidence which shows the protective effect、3、According to the passage, moderate drinking _____________、A、can stop heart problemsB、may be good for one's healthC、is widely remended by doctorsD、can solve all the health problems of man4、The study of the connection between smoking and Alzheimer risk demonstrates that_________、A、smoking can reduce Alzheimer risk as much as moderate drinkingB、men who smoke are more likely to have Alzheimer's disease than those who don'tC、smoking has no obviously positive effect on Alzheimer's diseaseD、for women who are carriers of APOE 4, smoking will surely reduce Alzheimer risk5、The main theme of the passage is ________、A、the change in recent drinking habitsB、the World Alzheimer Congress 2000 meetingC、the possible cure for Alzheimer's diseaseD、the connection between alcohol and Alzheimer's diseasePassage 9The economic effects of the terrorist attacks in the United States are spreading across the country and the world、The attacks in New York City and Washington D、C、have hurt many businesses, especially the airline industry and financial markets、Many panies have been forced to dismiss thousands of workers、Many individual states are concerned about their economic future、Since the attacks on September 1lth, the stock market suffered major losses、The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost seven percent of its value、The other major measures of the value of American stocks fell to their lowest levels in three years、Some economic experts say the drop in the value of stocks could directly affect long- term spending、They say it may cause people to lose trust in the economy and spend less money、Businesses across the country already have reported decreases in sales、Experts note that the American economy was close to a recession even before the attacks、The airline industry was probably hardest hit by the attacks、The nation's skies were temporarily closed to all air travel、Travelers remain frightened and are avoiding flying、High fuel and labour costs are making the situation worse、The airlines are losing hundreds of millions of dollars each day、There are also concerns about the economic effects of any military action、This could raise the price of oil、Production could be reduced if a large number of part time troops are called to active duty、Trade could be restricted、On Monday, the United States Federal Reserve lowered interest rates、The action was designed to support the economy by making it easier for people and businesses to borrow money、The European Central Bank took similar action、The Bush Administration and Congress are considering several tax and spending proposals、President Bush has already signed into law a forty-thousand-million dollar emergency spending plan、1、The title that can best express the main idea of the passage is __________、A、Terrorist AttacksB、Economic Effects of Terrorist AttacksC、The Attacks in Big CitiesD、Economic Recession in America2、The Dow Jones, according to the passage, ____________、A、fell to the lowest levelsB、spent less money than beforeC、suffered major

the European Central Bank ________、A、lowered interest rates to support the economyB、took similar action as the Bush AdministrationC、signed an emergency planD、made it easy to borrow money from itselfPassage 10Choosing the right school for your child may be one of the most important choices you will ever make for his or her future、It's surprising that so few tools are available to help make such a decision、I have a fairly simple method called "the Embodiment (具体化) Test", which directs that you should choose the school which best "embodies" those character traits you want your children to develop、How should a parent apply them to evaluating a school? First, decide what kind of character traits you want your children to develop、Then, look to see how different schools actually "embody" these traits ——how they manifest in the actual behavior of teachers, administrators, students and parents、Observe the teachers for more than just a few minutes、Spend a few hours、Do they embody the kind of character you want your child to be tutored in? Do they honor the individuality of each child? Are they truly passionate about teaching? Talk with parents who have children at the school、Why did they choose the school? And, of course, observe the students、Are they happy on the playground? Do they show confidence in expressing their individuality? Do they exhibit petence in the classroom?These are the true tests of a school: does it help you deliver the kind of "whole" child you've intended to raise? And it is only a "whole" child that is happy, successful, and fulfilled、Of course, information, knowledge and intellect are crucial in today's hyper-petitive world、No sane (理智得) parent or teacher would overlook them、But they are actually the easiest things to teach and measure、It is the deeper elements of character ——and how they relate to information, knowledge and intellect- that are more elusive (难把握得), harder to cultivate、It is these ponents of a good education that will stand the test of time、These will enable your child to adapt to the tumultuous (骚动得), frenetically (发狂地) changing world that we live in、These are the foundations of tree happiness, of tree attainments (成就), of true meanings for a life lived well、1、The author of the passage is most likely a _________、A、parentB、school teacherC、journalistD、friend of a parent2、It can be inferred that the most important factor in determining the ultimate success ofa child is _________、A、knowledgeB、intellectC、informationD、character3、Which of the following is NOT a step in testing a school?A、Discuss with the parents whose children are at the potential school、B、Watch the students carefully to have a better understanding of their life at the school、C、Interview some teachers, administrators and students、D、Observe the teachers to get more information needed、4、A "whole" child should have the following qualities EXCEPT__________、A、passionB、intelligenceC、individualityD、petence5、Which of the following is the reason why you conduct "the Embodiment Test"?A、It is crucial in today's hyper-petitive world、B、It will enable a child to adapt to the changing world that we live in、。
