Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the 1 becomes miserable. This arises 2 the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events, and the resulting effects 3 their minds. The people who are 4 be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well 5 dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and 6 only of the contrary things. 7 they are constantly discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves 8 everywhere. If this turn of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the 9 to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced 10 its bad effects on their interests and tastes.Part TwoDirections: Choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.1 a human being you have the choice of different basic attitudes2 life.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Choose the ONE best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage oneSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, wetypically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support ―financial aid, material resources and needed services —that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.1. Interpersonal relationships are important because .A.they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.B.they help people to cope with life in the information eraC.they awaken people’s desire to exchange resourcesD.they are indispensable to people’s social well-being2. Research shows that people’s physical and mental health .A.depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesB.relies on the social welfare systems which support themC.has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersD.is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives3. Which of the fol lowing is closest in meaning to the word “cushions” (Para. 2)?ys the foundation forB.lessens the effect ofC.adds up toD.does away with4. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of .rmational supportB.social companionshipC.instrumental supportD.the strengthening of self-respect5. Social companionship is benefic ial in that .A.it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB.it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableC.it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakesD.it draws our attention away from our worries and troublePassage T woBy the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ic e trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861 -1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New Y ork, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor (前身) of the modern refrigerator, had been invented.Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was underdeveloped. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling.Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.But as early as 1803, a Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff of his competitors to pay a higher price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their product cool.6. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The influence of ice on the dietB.The development of refrigerationC.The transportation of goods to marketD.Sources of ice in the nineteenth century7. The phrase “forwar d-looking” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.A.progressiveB.popularC.thriftyD.well-established8. According to the passage, which of the following was an obstacle to the development of the icebox?petition among the owners of refrigerated freight carsB.The lack of a network for the distribution of iceC.The use of inefficient insulationD.Inadequate understanding of physics9. According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would .pletely prevent ice from meltingB.stop air from circulatingC.allow ice to melt slowlye blankets to conserve ice10. The author describes Thomas Moore as having been “on the right track”, to indicate that_________.A.the road to the market passed close to Moore’s farmB.Moore was an honest merchantC.Moore was a prosperous farmerD.Moore’s design was fairly successfulPassage ThreeWhether the eyes are “the windows of the soul” is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first tw o months of a baby’s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes asopposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode (编码) or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the “proper place to focus one’s gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one’s conversation partner. ”The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away and they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they are looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses; there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.11. The author is convinced that the eyes are _________.A.something the value of which is largely a matter of long debateB.something through which one can s ee a person’s inner worldC.of considerable significance in making conversations interestingD.of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideas12. Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person _________.A.whose face is seen from the sideB.whose face is covered with a maskC.whose front view is fully perceivedD.whose face is free of any covering13. According to the passage, the Japanese fix their gaze on their conversation partners’ neckbecause _________.A.they don’t like to keep their eyes on the face of the speakerB.they need not communicate through eye contactC.they didn’t have much opportunity to communicate through eye contact in babyhoodD.they don’t think it polite lo have eye contact14. According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break down due to________.A.improperly-timed ceasing of eye contactB.eye contact of more than one secondC.one temporarily glancing away from the otherD.constant adjustment of eye contact15. To keep a conversation flowing smoothly, it is better for the participantsA.not to make any interruptionsB.not to glance away from each otherC.not to wear dark spectaclesD.not to make unpredictable pausesPassage FourIs language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be so. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no such severe lack exists as described by Frederick. However, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for learning skills passes and they might never be taught so easily again.A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man’s brain compared with that of the monkey is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy-bear”. And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.But speech has to be induced (诱导) and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling (咿呀学语), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction bec ause the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.16. The purpose of Frederick II’s experiment was _________.A.to prove that children are born with the ability to speakB.to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speakC.to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speakD.to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language17. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that _____.A.they are incapable of learning language rapidlyB.they are exposed to too much language at onceC.their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speakD.their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them18. What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that ______.A.he is born with the capacity to speakB.he has a brain more complex than an animal’sC.he can produce his own sentencesD.he owes his speech ability to good nursing19. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A.The faculty of speech is inborn in man.B.Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language learning.C.The child’s brain is highly selective.D.Most children learn their language in definite stages.20. If a child starts to speak later than others, he will in future.A.have a high IQB.be less intelligentC.be insensitive to verbal signalsD.not necessarily be backwardV.

新世纪⼤学英语综合教程4（第⼆版）LectureNotes_U2 Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Two: Man and TechnologyPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1)What changes have taken place in our life with the advancement of technology?2)Do you think technology makes your life easier? Could you give some examples?3)Is the advancement of technology always a good thing?▇ Answers for reference:1)With the advancement of technology, our health has been improved; production has been increased; humanlabor has been decreased; people’s mental horizons have been broadened, and what is most important is that people live longer and better.2)Yes. Take the Internet for example. With the access to the Internet I can learn what is going on all aroundthe world. I can get the latest information about my present studies at college. And I can communicate with others via e-mail, which saves me a lot of time and money. Another example is the rapid development of various means of transportation. Planes, trains and cars have made my travel easier and more convenient.3)No. Technology is a double-edged sword which can be used equally for good or evil. For example,technology has found wide application in the medical field. However, owing to technology, weapons of mass destruction have been invented and used in wars in which large numbers of innocent people have been killed.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about man and technology and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.⊙The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.— Isaac Asimov Interpretation:This quote tells us that knowledge is not wisdom. Knowledge alone does not necessarily make us wiser. Although science has brought about a rapid growth in knowledge, today’s society has not witnessed any corresponding increase in wisdom. And what we are in desperate need of today is wisdom rather than scientific knowledge, for knowledge helps us make a living while wisdom helps us make a life.Isaac AsimovAbout Isaac Asimov:Isaac Asimov (1920-1992): a US science fiction writer. Born in Russia, he was brought to the USA when he was three and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He studied chemistry at Columbia University and developed a career both as an academic biochemist and as a science fiction writer. Among his best known novels are the “Foundation Series”―Foundation (《基地》) (1951), Foundation and Empire (《基地与帝国》)(1952), andSecond Foundation (《第⼆基地》)(1953), etc. He is also well-known for his textbooks and works of popular science.⊙Education makes machines which act like men and produces men who act like machines.— Erich Fromm Interpretation:This quote questions the rigidity of the formal educational systems. Machines are often considered as being controlled by others and have no individual thoughts. This quote indicates that the formal educational system controls the development of students and washes away the individual creativity.Erich FrommAbout Erich Fromm:Erich Fromm (1900-1980): German-born American psychoanalyst. His works, which include Escape from Freedom(《逃离⾃由》), Man for Himself(《利⼰者》) and The Sane Society(《健全的社会》), emphasize the role of culture in neurosis and strongly criticize materialist values.⊙The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.—Karl MarxInterpretation:According to Marx, under capitalism, overproduction leads to economic crises and unemployment.Karl MarxAbout Karl Marx:Karl Marx (1818-1883): a German philosopher, social scientist, historian and revolutionary. Karl Marx was the most influential socialist thinker of the 19th century. With Friedrich Engels, he wrote the Communist Manifesto (1848) and other works. Exiled from Europe after the Revolutions of 1848, Marx lived in London, where he worked on his monumental work Das Kapital (Capital), in which he used dialectical materialism to analyze economic and social history. Marxism has greatly influenced the development of socialist thought.⊙It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dreams of yesterday are the hopes of today, and the realitiesof tomorrow.— Robert H. Goddard Interpretation:Advances in science and technology have given birth to many things once only dreamed of.Robert H. GoddardAbout Robert H. Goddard:Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945): an American physicist. Goddard is looked upon as one of the three main founders of modern rocketry, along with Tsiolkovsky and Oberth. He launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on March 16, 1926. The flight lasted just 2.5 seconds, reaching an altitude of 12.3 meters and landing 55.2 meters from the launch site.Section C Watching and Discussion▇Watch the following video clip “Inception” and do the tasks that follow:插⼊视频⽚段：“Inception.wmv”1.Fill in the missing words according to what you hear from the video clip.—You create the world of the dream.

Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1)Did material and technological advances make Americans happier according to the survey?2)What is the relationship between money and happiness according to Easterlin?3)How does technology affect human relationships according to the author?4)In which field does technology have the most important impact on people’s sense of well-being accordingto the author?5)What does the author think of the relationship between technology and happiness?▆ Answers for Reference:1)No. The survey showed that the majority of Americans did not become happier with the advancement oftechnology. In fact, the percentage of people who say they are “very happy” has fallen slightly since the early 1970s, even though their income has increased considerably.2)According to Easterlin, money cannot make people happier after a certain point, that is, when people areable to meet the needs for a decent life.3)According to the author, with technological inventions such as linked databases, the Internet and TV,people have less privacy and less time for real world communication. As a result, they tend to be more lonely and depressed.4)The most important impact of technology on people’s life is in the field of health care. The developmentof medical technology has greatly increased people’s life expectancy and improved their quality of life.So the vast majority of people are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. 5)On the whole, the author holds that technology and happiness are not necessarily closely related.Throughout the text, the author cites examples to illustrate that the advances in technology do not necessarily make people happier.2.Text A can be divided into five Parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne1-2 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two3-5________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three6-9________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four10________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Five11________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________▆▆ Answers for Reference:Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1-2 Material and technological advances do not really bringhappiness to people in the developed countries. ThoughAmericans now are wealthier than they were in the middleof the last century, they are not happier than they used tobe.Two 3-5 Technology and happiness are not necessarily closelycorrelated because people adapt to technological progresstoo quickly.Three 6-9 The current comments on technology have mostly centeredon the bad effects of technology on human relationshipsrather than particular, harmful technologies.Four 10 The most important impact of technology on people’s senseof well-being is in the field of health care.Five 11 People in general claim that on a deeper level, technologycannot bring happiness to them, which is just contradictoryto the fact that it has greatly improved people’s health andlife expectancy.Section B In-depth StudyIn the present era, all of us are enthusiastically pursuing technological advancement and take it for granted that the development of technology will make us happier. However, little evidence can be found to prove the correlation between technology and happiness once material and technological advances reach a certain level. The text below may provide you with some insights into this issue.Technology and HappinessJames Surowiecki1 In the 20th century, Americans, Europeans, and East Asians enjoyed material and technological advances that were unimaginable in previous eras. In the United States, for instance, gross domestic product per capita tripled from 1950 to 2000. Life expectancy soared. The boom in productivity after World War II made goods better and cheaper at the same time. Things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, became necessities. And even though Americans seemed to work extraordinarily hard, their pursuit of entertainment turned media and leisure into multibillion-dollar industries.2 By most standards, then, you would have to say that Americans are better off now than they were in the middle of the last century. Oddly, though, if you ask Americans how happy they are, you find that they are no happier than they were in 1946 (which is when formal surveys of happiness started). In fact, the percentage of people who say they are “very happy” has fallen slightly since the early 1970s — even though the income of people born in 1940 has, on average, increased by 116 percent over the course of their working lives. You can find similar data for most developed countries.3 The relationship between happiness and technology has been an eternal subject for social critics and philosophers since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. But it’s been left largely unexamined by economists and social scientists.The truly groundbreaking work on the relationship between prosperity and well-being was done by the economist Richard Easterlin, who in 1974 wrote a famous paper entitled “Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?” Easterlin showed that when it came to developed countries, there was no real correlation between a nation’s income level and its citizens’ happiness. Money, Easterlin argued, could not buy happiness —at least not after a certain point. Easterlin showed that though poverty was strongly correlated with misery, once a country was solidly middle-class, getting wealthier did not seem to make its citizens any happier.4 This seems to be close to a universal phenomenon. In fact, one of happiness scholars’ most important insights is that people adapt very quickly to good news. Take lottery winners for example. One famous study showed that although winners were very, very happy when they won, their extreme excitement quickly evaporated, and after a while their moods and sense of well-being were indistinguishable from what they had been before the victory.5 So, too, with technology: no matter how dramatic a new innovation is, no matter how much easier it makes our lives, it is very easy to take it for granted. You can see this principle at work in the world of technology every day, as things that once seemed miraculous soon become common and, worse, frustrating when they don’t work perfectly. It’s hard, it turns out, to keep in mind what things were like before the new technology came along.6 Does our fast assimilation of technological progress mean, then, that technology makes no difference? No. It just makes the question of technology’s impact, for good or ill, more complicated. Let’s start with the downside. There are certain ways in which technology makes life obviously worse. Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft all come to mind. These are all phenomena that make people consciously unhappy. But for the most part, modern critiques of technology have focused not so much on specific, bad technologies as on the impact of technology on our human relationships.7 Privacy has become increasingly fragile in a world of linked databases. In many workplaces, technologies like keystroke monitoring and full recordings of phone calls make it easier to watch workers. The notion that technology disrupts relationships and fractures community gained mainstream prominence as an attack on television. Some even say that TV is chiefly responsible for the gradual isolation of Americans from each other. Similarly, some others stress the harmful effects of the Internet, which supposedly further isolates people from what is often called “the real world”.8 This broad criticism of technology’s impact on relationships is an interesting one and is especially relevant to the question of happiness, because one of the few things we can say for certain is that the more friends and the closer relationships people have, the happier they tend to be.9 Today, technological change is so rapid that when you buy something, you do so knowing that in a few months there’s going to be a better, faster version of the product, and that you’re going to be stuck with the old o ne. Someone else, in other words, has it better. It’s as if disappointment were built into acquisition from the very beginning.10 Daily stress, an annoying sense of disappointment, fear that the government knows a lot more about youthan you would like it to —these are obviously some of the ways in which technology reduces people’s sense of well-being. But the most important impact of technology on people’s sense of well-being is in the field of health care. Before the Industrial Revolution, two out of every three Europeans died before the age of 30. Today, life expectancy for women in Western Europe is almost 80 years, and it continues to increase. The point is obvious: the vast majority of people are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. But until very recently, life for the vast majority of people was nasty, rough, and short. Technology has changed that, at least for people in the rich world. As much as we should worry about the rising cost of he alth care and the problem of the uninsured, it’s also worth remembering how valuable for our spiritsas well as our bodies are the benefits that medical technology has brought us.11 On a deeper level, what the technological improvement of our health and our longevity emphasizes is a paradox of any discussion of happiness on a national or a global level: even though people may not be happier, even though they are wealthier and possess more technology, they’re still as hungry as ever for more time. It’s like that old joke: the food may not be so great, but we want the portions to be as big as possible.（此课⽂没有更新，不需要配图说明。

U 1In the 21st century, clouds and stormy weather no longer automatically bring military operations to a halt or force a change in targets. Technologies such as the Global Positioning System now allow (1) cruise missiles (巡航导弹) and other smart weapons to home in on (瞄准并飞速接近) their targets. But the weather still is a factor that must be reckoned (2) with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highly (3) accurate to be effective.Fortunately, the ability to obtain weather forecasts (4) will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors will grow rapidly (5) on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders a(n) instant (6) overview of weather in the battle zone. In some areas you'll have direct delivery (7) of weather information straight from the computers to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft.Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous edge (优势) over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to their advantage (8). As we get superior satellites into space, we'll gain huge advantages in observing (9) meteorological conditions in denied areas, where we don't have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers get more powerful (10). The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communications and computer abilities.

Coh-Metrix工具辅助的大学英语教材阅读文本研究——以“新编大学英语综合教程”为例
2020年第3"期(总第876期)丈敖冬‘科Coh-Metrix工具辅助的大学英语教材阅读文本研究——以“新编大学英语综合教程”为例杜驭炎项凝霜(杭州电子科技大学外国语学院，浙江杭州310018)摘要：自然语言计算工具Coh-Metrix可用于分析文本可读性。
相对操作更简便的Coh-Metrix TEA从计算结果中提取6个文本可读性相关指征:叙事性、句法简约性、单词具体性、指称衔接、深层衔接和Grade Leve1数值。
利用该工具对大学英语教材阅读文本分析后发现：四册书之间难度基本呈现梯度递进，但单册内部变化趋势无规律；选材难度偏低，体裁多样性不足；文本可读性指征间存在一定的相关性。
关键词：大学英语教材文本可读性Coh-Metrix1.研究背景教材是教学过程中的重要因素之一#近年我国大学英语教学实施较大改革，优化教材选择自然备受重视,教材相关的研究覆盖面得以扩大,研究数量快速增加。
