Unit 4 Pygmalion第Ⅰ卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A★★☆☆☆Dear Headteacher Jones,Recently I took a trip with my family to a local botanical (植物的) garden, Natural Springs. It was amazing how drawn we were to the breathtaking varieties of plants and flowers. Although I realize that we cannot turn our school into such a garden, we can surely add more beauty to its surroundings.I know that purchasing plants for landscaping is expensive, so I suggest that we try my plan. Many homes and apartments in our neighborhood have a lot of landscaping. I have learned that many of these plants must be divided and transplanted each year, otherwise they will become overgrown. During the spring, people could swap plants from their own gardens; they could also bring some plantsto donate to our school. It would be a wonderful opportunity for community members to visit our school and get some different plants here to improve the look of their own yards.I have talked to many students who would like to form a garden club and care for the plants. Mrs. Meer, chair of the biology department, has agreed to supervise (监督) us. The club members would take turns to care for the plants both before and after school. All who attend and visit our school will most likely appreciate the benefits of my project. If you agree to allow us to put my plan into action, I can guarantee that you will be pleased.Please let me know when we can discuss this further.Sincerely,Terri Olsen21. The author’s suggestion is to _____.A. do a plant swapB. buy some plantsC. give a donationD. join a garden club22. As for the author’s suggestion, Mrs. Meer might feel _____.A. doubtfulB. cautiousC. positiveD. curious23. Why did Terri Olsen write this letter?A. To ask students to care for the plants.B. To try to make the school more beautiful.C. To advise students to visit Natural Springs.D. To draw the headteacher’s attention to nature.B★★☆☆☆Annalise Emerick is getting ready to play a show in Nashville, Tennessee. It is something she does most nights in coffee houses, bars and other small spaces across the U.S. But tonight, Ms. Emerick will play for a few people in Kristina Shulz’s home.Ms. Shulz has been holding such performances in her home for about four years. As many as 30 people have attended past shows. The crowd is usually a mix of family, friends and neighbors. But some strangers might show up, too. The performances are listed on house concert websites. “We’ve done rock, we’ve had blues, pop, folk, we’ll have anything here,” said Ms. Shulz.House concerts have become an important part of Annalise Emerick’s earnings. “I can play in a bar for 100 dollars, but if I play in a house concert, there are 50 people there and they all pay $20, I’m having a great night. And they’re all buying CDs. It’s amazing,” she said.Ms. Emerick says house concert audiences tend to make more supportive fans. They follow her career, buy her new records, and go to her shows when she is in town. “There’s just a totally unique experience as opposed to playing in a coffee shop or abar or something like that where people are usually there, but you don’t always know if they’re there for you.”Charlie Dahan teaches music management courses at Middle Tennessee State University. He used to organize shows for artists like Annalise Emerick. “The downside for the artists is that most house concerts don’t pay guarantees. So you have no idea how much money you’re going to make. In fact, most house concerts by law are not allowed to charge admission. Most of them ca n only do a suggested donation,” said Mr. Dahan.24. What can we learn about the performances in Ms. Shulz’s home?A. There has been an audience of 30 each time.B. Different kinds of music have been played.C. They have brought her extra earnings.D. They are not available to strangers.25. According to the text, Annalise Emerick _____.A. has played in Ms. Shulz’s home for four yearsB. can sell more CDs in a coffee house than in a barC. prefers to play in some homes instead of in a barD. has donated all her earnings to help those in need26. In Charlie Dahan’s opinion, house concerts _____.A. can be financially risky for artistsB. can help artists produce more influential worksC. are the best way for singers to become popularD. are greatly encouraged in most parts of America27. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?A. House concerts will replace coffee house shows.B. Many artists like to perform in an open-air concert.C. Annalise Emerick is on her way to be a superstar.D. Music shows in private homes enjoy popularity.C★★★☆☆Would you like to travel into space, and experience weightlessness like an astronaut? Meet Sir Richard Branson — a billionaire English businessman, who has made it his life’s duty to make space accessible to tens of thousands of people. Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic, has been testing low orbital (轨道的) spacecrafts that can carry passengers into space.In 1996, the “Ansari X Prize” challenged private teams around the world to build a manned vehicle that could travel to an altitude of 62 miles (100 kilometers) — the boundary where outer space begins — and back. The winner would be awarded $10 million. Twenty-six companies rose to the challenge. Only one company succeeded. In 2004, Scaled Composites’s SpaceShipOne made it to space and back twice, winning the prize money and making history.Richard Branson was attracted to the possibility of ordinary citizens going into space. He announced a partnership with Scaled Composites to build a next generation vehicle. SpaceShipTwo, announced in 2009, was designed to carry six passengers and two pilots.An aircraft carrier would carry SpaceShipTwo to a height of 50,000 feet and then release it. Rocket engines would push the spacecraft at 3.5 times the speed of sound, sending it 62 miles above the surface of Earth in about 90 seconds. Once in space, passengers will experience a short period of zero gravity, and can get out of their seats and float around the cabin. After five minutes in space, the vehicle would re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and land on a runway. The total time from lift-off to touchdown is expected to be about 3.5 hours.On October 11, 2010, SpaceShipTwo completed its first successful test flight. Last year, Richard Branson announced that the first commercial flight could begin as early as 2015. However, just a few months ago, while on a test run, SpaceShipTwo broke apart within two minutes of being released from the aircraft carrier. Will this be a setback (挫折) for space tourism? Anyway, it is just a matter of time before the technology is perfected and space travel becomes a reality.28. Richard Branson’s dr eam is to _____.A. win the “Ansari X Prize”B. become a billionaire businessmanC. help more people travel into spaceD. travel into space in SpaceShipOne29. What can we learn about SpaceShipTwo?A. It could hold at least ten persons.B. It traveled into space and back twice.C. It reached outer space in 3.5 hours.D. It held Branson’s expectations.30. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _____.A. SpaceShipTwo’s first flight into spaceB. how SpaceShipTwo would workC. passengers’ experience of space t ravelD. how far a spacecraft can travel31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Space tourism: a challenge for manB. Virgin Galactic’s rapid developmentC. Richard Branson’s trip to spaceD. A sharp rise in space tourismD★★★★☆Last September, the public library at Saint-Omer near Calais in France was preparing an exhibit on English literature. While going through the library’s collections, Rémy Cordonnier came across a copy of Shakespeare’s plays, listed in their records as a reprint from the 18th century. It was missing close to 30 pages, including the title page.This is the first and most comprehensive collec tion of Shakespeare’s plays. As we know, Shakespeare became popular only much after his death in 1616 and hisoriginal manuscripts (手稿) never survived. About 20 of his works are available to us today only because of the efforts of John Heminge and Henry Condell. These two men were close friends and fellow actors of Shakespeare, and they decided in 1623 to publish 36 of his plays — this is what we call today as the First Folio.This was the first time a folio edition was used only for plays in England. Earlier folios were just used for influential works such as encyclopedias (百科全书) and reference books. Plays were frivolous, since they were considered “entertainment”. The original edition consisted of 750-800 copies, of which only a quarter are available today. When published, they were only sold for around 15 shillings to a pound (20 shillings) each. It was thought that the books were originally brought out for use by theatre groups.Evidence suggests that some copies available today were compiled (汇编) in the mid-19th century by owners who only then began to realize their importance. Several books are known to have been lost. The British Library owns 4 copies. In the early 20th century, Henry Folger, President of Standard Oil, collected the largest number of 82 folios.The First Folio at Saint-Omer is believed to be the 233rd discovery and could be worth between $6-7 million. Meanwhile, Saint-Omer has made plans to digitize the book and make it available online. The original will be locked up in their safe along with other rare books in their library.32. Last September, Rémy Cordonnier _____.A. read a copy of Shakespeare’s playsB. attended an exhibit at Saint-OmerC. made an important discoveryD. studied English literature33. What can we learn about Shakespeare’s earliest folios?A. Most of them can be found in the British Library.B. Most of them were brought out for encyclopedias.C. They were published at the request of Shakespeare.D. Their importance was not recognized when first published.34. The underlined word “frivolous” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.A. unusualB. unimportantC. uninterestingD. unpleasant35. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _____.A. ask people to visit the public library at Saint-OmerB. introduce a new-found folio by ShakespeareC. show the importance of the First FolioD. sing the praises of Shakespeare第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The fact that a child picks up a language 39 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 40 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 41 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 42 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 43 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 44 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 45 , hold the view that a child learns 46 of his language from the hints in the environment. 47 , theorists of both schools 48 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 49 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 50 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 51 their own theory, but 52 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 53 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 54 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 55 linguists of both sides to work together.36. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly37.

A. ordered B. criticized C. challenged D. urgedIII 阅读理解AThe human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us to adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. kook at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. ff the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.56. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity'" in the first paragraph?A. We have to take care of our sense of' pain.B. We suffer from our sense of feeling.C. We should try hard to resist pain.D. We are hurt when we feel pain.57. When the author mentions' file Indian fakir, he shows that _________.A. fakirs possess magic powerB. Indians are not afraid of painC. people can learn to cope with painD. some people are born without a sense of pain58. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A.

One of them was from my school day's, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people —to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk." Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. Small and simple can be profound. As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope", "guts", "faith", "dreams". Those am words that move people andsay' so much about the spirit of America.Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I never forget.64. The passage is mainly about _______.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Reader's Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches65. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with _________.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers66. The author's "secret" is _________.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerDThere are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.69. From Henning's result we can see that ________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students always remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning70. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on71. The passage centers on ________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsESuccessful innovations (改革) have driven many older technologies to extinction (灭绝) and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.In 1870, homes and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受……约束) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the home and mule population would decline rapidly.72. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.73. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ________.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had not been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been established74. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would ________.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy75. What is the author's attitude towards changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed by themD. He questions their usefulnessIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

unit4PygmalionⅠ.阅读理解ASleep is a basic human need, as basic as the need for oxygen.Getting a good night’s sleep is not only directly related to howwe feel the next day, but to our longterm health as well. Still,many of us suffer from at least occasional insomnia (失眠). Even more of us report at least one night of restless sleep per week that leaves us feeling ill and irritable. This is a serious problem. If you think otherwise, consider this. People who sleep four hours or less per night are twice as likely not to survive in six years as those who sleep the normal eight hours or so.Given the seriousness of sleep, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? While there are no one hundred percent reliable methods, here are some suggestions from sleep experts. If you do have trouble sleeping and these methods don’t help, it’s important that you see a doctor before insomnia causes your health to suffer. Start with these suggestions, though.●If you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, don’t get up. Exposing yourself to bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia.●Avoid naps (小睡), except for a brief tentofifteenminute nap between 2：00 and 4：00 pm.●Get regular exe rcise each day, but finish at least six hours before bedtime. Exercising in the evening can help keep you awake.●Take a hot bath for thirty minutes within two hours of bedtime. The bath will warm you, relax you, and make you feel sleepy.●Keep your bedro om dark, quiet, and well ventilated (通风的)．●Keep a regular schedule seven days a week. Sleeping late on the weekends can lead to insomnia during the week.●Get at least half an hour of sunlight within thirty minutes of waking. Without the sunlight, your body doesn’t know it’s awake.●Keep the face of the clock in your bedroom turned away, and don’t find out what time it is when you awaken in the night.Pleasant Dreams!语篇解读：睡眠无小事，但怎样才能睡好呢？本文给出了很多好办法。

great satisfaction.“Perfect！〞I said.“Now，all I have to do is to keep the dogs off of it.〞 I went about setting up barriers(障碍)using old fence，broken chairs，flowerpots，and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet.It worked perfectly.Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，I took one last look at this fine work of art.“What is that？〞I said.“Where did that come from？〞Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，I found tiny marks running in straight lines.I carefully stepped to our flower garden.It was there I found several of the small markings.Now，almost frozen in place by this stunning(令人震惊的)discovery，I remained in position so as to prevent further damaging my work.Just then，off to my left，it appeared.A

footprints into his own home.And，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life.I stood up，shook my head，and laughing about it all walked into my house.Yes，I tracked oil on the carpet.I am married.My wife will not let me live it down for the rest of my life.36．What was the project the author completed in the passage?A．A painting.

What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family.B．The awards Arthur Miller won.C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D．Arthur Miller and his bestknown play.CToday，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example，in Shakespeare's play “TheComedyofErrors〞，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play “Macbeth〞，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time，the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example，he created the noun forms of “critic〞，“mountaineer〞and “eyeball〞．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)〞from “Othello〞，“full circle (绕圈子)〞from “King Lear〞，etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater.His yearsof hard work paid off.43．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B．Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.44．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in________.A．“KingLear〞B．“TheComedyofErrors〞C．“Macbeth〞D．“Othello〞45．Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on ________.A．the English languageB．paintingsC．televisionD．music and dance46．The passage is mainly about________.A．an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his worksB．the main features and styles of Shakespeare's playsC．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced cultureD．Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world cultureDWhether you're studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.Unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension cansuffer.Learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.The things you already know are important for understanding things you're going to learn.Before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.Since kindergarten，we've all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.If you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.You'll not only make reading easier；you'll also improve your vocabulary.If you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.If you writewhile you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will go downhill.Instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.Someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.However，from my point of view，it's a terrible idea if you want to learn.Besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.Focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)．When reading something boring，it's easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.At such times，just find a way to relate to the material.Write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.Your comprehension will improve and you'll be less likely to need to reread.47．The passage is intended to teach students how to ________.A．form good study habitsB．take notes when reading booksC．improve reading comprehensionD．treat their reading homework properly48．The author suggests that when reading books we should ________.A．refuse to use a dictionaryB．think about what we knowC．pay more attention to new topicsD．practise speed reading first49. According to the passage，what's the author's attitude towards speed reading?A．Curious. B．Positive.C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed.50. What should we do if we come across some boring materials?A．Ignore new words.B．Make every effort to understand it.C．Read it without understanding.D．Ask for help from others.Ⅳ.阅读填句(共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分)Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader's Choice.51．________ These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer.They also give students practice in four basic reading skills：skimming，scanning，reading for thorough comprehension，and critical reading.Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents.This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or 52.________Like skimming，scanning is also quick reading.However，in this case the search is more concentrated.53.________ When you read to find a particular date，or number you are scanning.Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage.At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author's ideas 54.________Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads.This kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as “55.________“Do I share the author's point of view？〞And “Am I convinced by the author's arguments and evidence？〞A．Does my own experience support that of the author?B．Reader's Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.C．but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas.D．The book contains many types of selections on a wide variety of topics.E．To scan is to read quickly in order to find out specific information.F．Do I know about the author?G．when there is no time to read something carefully.Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每一小题1分，总分为10分)Last week，I met a stranger who seemed to be losing. I offered to guide him to the place he wanted to go to，but to my surprise，he refused my offer to helping.I asked him why not.He told me that he was afraid I would ask him money if I helped him in this way.Then I fell into deep thoughts: was it money which came between us？I agree that money is become more and more important in our society，and it should not be everything.We should try my best to help others and trust each other.If everyone does this, our society will be better and better.Ⅵ.书面表达(总分为25分)皮革马利翁效应说了“暗示〞的作用，暗示在本质上是人的情感和观念不同程度地受到别人下意识的影响，人们会不自觉地承受自己喜欢、钦佩、信任和崇拜的人的影响和暗示，而这种暗示正是让你梦想成真的基石之一。

October28BAmericans spend their free time in various ways．America is a country of sports —of hunting，fishing and swimming，and of team sports like baseball and football．Millions of Americans watch their favorite sports on television．They also like to play in community orchestras(管弦乐队)，make their own films or recordings，go camping，visit museums，attend lectures，travel，garden，read，and join in hundreds of other activities．The people also enjoy building things for their homes，sewing their own clothes，even making their own photographs．They do these things for fun as well as for economy．But as much as Americans enjoy their free time，the country is at the same time a “self-improvement” country．More than 25 million adults continue their education，chiefly by going to school in the evening， during their own free time，at theirown expense．Added to the time spent on personal activities，Americans a1．so devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities．Many hospitals，schools，libraries，museums，parks，community centers，and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities，often without any Pay. Why do they do it?There are several answers．The idea of cooperating and sharing responsibility with one another for the benefit of all is as old as the country itself．When the country was first founded in 1776，it was necessary for the settlers to work together to live．They had crossed dangerous seas and risked all they had in their struggle for political and religious freedom．There remains among many Americans a distrust of central government．People still prefer to do things themselves within their communities，rather than give the government more control．Sometimes people offer their time because they wish to accomplish something for which no money is paid，to do something that will be of benefit to the entire community．It is true that some people use their leisure because they are truly interested in the work；or they are learning from the experience．No matter what the reason is，hundreds of thousands of so．called leisure hours are put into hard，unpaid work on one or another community need．59. This passage is mainly about ________ ．A. why America is a country of sportsB. how Americans spend their free timeC. why America is a“self-improvement”countryD. how Americans are devoted to their community activities60．The writer mentions the foundation of the country in order to indicate ________ _．A．the early history of AmericaB．the American people's determination to liveC．the reason for Americans' willingness to cooperate and share responsibility D．the American people's love for freedom61．Which of the following best explains the meaning of the underlined word“leisure”? A．work time B. energy C. effort D. spare time62. What can we infer from the text?A. The first settlers left their hometown for political and religious reasons．B. Many Americans don′t trust the central government．C. American people enjoy building things for their homes just for fun．D. Americans continue their education at their own expense．CWorldwide，almost as many women as men die from heart disease．Yet most treatment methods have come from studies of men．Researchers are now learning more about ways that heart．disease can be different in women．For example，they say a condition called coronary microvascular syndrome(冠脉微血管综合症)appears to be more common in women than men．When a heart attack is suspected，doctors look for a major blockage(阻塞物)in thearteries(动脉)that supply oxygen to the heart．With coronary microvascular syndrome，fatty material spreads evenly(均匀地)in very small arteries of the heart．This buildup of plaque(血小板)along the artery wall narrows the flow of oxygen．The pain can be similar to that of blocked arteries．But doctors often miss this condition because it does not show up in the usual tests for blockages. Women are often sent home，thinking they are OK．Yet many are at high risk for a heart attack．In USA，researchers say as many as three million women could have coronary microvascular syndrome．The Journal of the American College of Cardiology recently published findings from a government study．The study is called the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation(妇女缺血综合征的评价)，or WISE．Ischemic heart disease involves restricted blood flow．The study began in nineteen ninety-six and involves more than nine hundred women who suffer chest pain．Researchers found large blockages in major arteries in about one-third of the women．The other women looked clear on an angiogram(血管造影)test for blockages．But the researchers say half of them had enough buildup in small arteries to cause a heart attack within five years．In men and women both，the most common warning sign is chest pain．But women are more likely to experience other common signs like shortness of breath，a sick stomach and pain in the back or jaw．A cold sweat and feeling lightheaded can also mean a heart attack．63. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. Tests of ten Miss a Hidden Heart-Attack Risk in WomenB. Researchers Find New Ways in Treating Heart DiseasesC. Researchers Find Heart Disease Treatment Methods for WomenD. Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study64. In order to find ways in treating heart disease ________ ．A. the government has wasted large amount of money in the research workB. researchers used to make studies of both men and womenC. researchers used to make studies of menD. researchers used to make studies of women65. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A lot more men die as a result of heart disease than women do．B. Women are more likely to suffer coronary microvascular syndrome than men．C. Warning signs of heart disease are common in men and women．D. Heart disease can't be different in men and women．66. Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study was organized ________.A. by some medical researchersB. by the American governmentC. by the American College of CardiologyD. by the American patients suffering from heart disease67. The most common sign in women with heart disease is ________ ___A. shortness of breathB. a sick stomachC. pain in the back or jawD. pain in the chestDTOKYO(AP)-An express train traveling through strong winter winds derailed(出轨)in northern Japan，killing four people and injuring more than 30，officials said Monday．Five cars of the six-car express train derailed Sunday evening，three of them toppling(倾倒)onto their sides in Yamagata prefecture(辖区)，about 1 80 miles north of Tokyo，officials said．The train was going from northern Akita to Niigata prefecture．The injuries of the survivors did not appear to be life-threatening，Yamagata police spokesman Yoshikatsu Oe said．It was unclear how many passengers were on the train，but Oe said most of the injured were in the first two cars．The dead included two men and two women, and rescuers planned to lift the wreckage(残骸)later in the day to see if any other passengers remained beneath，officials said．Transport Ministry official Hiromi Mishima said it was not known what caused the derailment and officials were assessing the extent(程度)of the damage．Railway operator JR East Co．President Mutsutake Otsuka apologized for the accident at a news conference Monday morning and promised a thorough investigation(调查)．Yamagata police official Yasuhiro Sugiu said there had been high．speed wind warnings for the area．According to a train conductor，a strong gust(阵风)hit the train just before the accident．Winds in the area were about 48 mph，Kyodo News agency reported．Authorities said they did not know how fast the train was going．Speed was believed to be a factor in an．April 25 train wreck that killed 107 people and injured more than 500 others in Amagasaki，western Japan．That accident was Japan's worst train wreck since 1963．68. This report is about a train accident that happened ________ ．A. in Yamagata on Sunday eveningB. in Tokyo on MondayC. in Niigata on Sunday eveningD. in Amagasaki on April 2569. Which of the following has not yet been made clear about the derailed train?A. The number of its cars．B. Its running direction．C. The number of the survivors in its derailment．D. The time of the train accident．70. We can infer from the passage that ________ _．A. speed was certainly a factor leading to the train derailmentB. authorities would try to find out the speed at which the train was runningC. the gust was strong enough to derail the trainD. the train operator was a careless man71. The underlined word“wreck”in the last paragraph most probably means“ ________ _”．A. operationB. businessC. competitionD. crashEDo you know what it means when somebody tells you that he had “a catch-22experience”?The phrase “catch-22” comes from a book of the same title by the American writer Joseph Heller published in 1961．Catch-22 is a book of black humor．The author uses silly and even surreal(超现实的)events．It has a non-linear narrative structure(非线性的叙述结构)in which events follow the theme rather than the timing，to give us a very strange picture full of contradictions(矛盾)．The story takes places in a bomber base in Italy during World WarⅡ．The main character, Captain Yossarian wants to leave the war．Unfortunately, every time he completes the number of tasks to be sent home，the number is raised and he is forced to continue fighting．It seems hopeless for him to go home under the very strange rule in this Air Force-catch-22：only when a soldier goes crazy can he be allowed to go home．But he has to go to the hospital to show the doctors that he is crazy．However, if he tells them he is crazy but is obvious healthy, he cannot go home．In short，catch-22 is“heads 1 win，tails I lose．If you can you can't；and if you can't，you can．”Whenever you try to behave correctly in a crazy world．There's a catch(潜在的困难)．During the Vietnam War, the phrase“catch-22”became a popular term for being caught in a no．win，circular dilemma and is now commonly used．The Oxford English Dictionary explains catch．22 as“a set of circumstances in which one requirement，etc，is dependent upon another, which is in turn dependent upon the first．”72. Which of the following statements is right?A. Catch-22 is one of Heller's experiences during World War II．B. Catch-22 is one of Yossarian's experiences during the Vietnam War．C. The events in catch-22 follow the theme．D. The events in catch-22 follow the timing．73. Why did Captain Yossarian fail to leave the war?A. He wasn't so anxious to leave the war．B. He didn't finish his tasks．C. He was put into a catch．22 situation．D. He wasn't mad enough to be sent home．74. What does the underlined sentence most probably mean?A. Whenever and however you try, you are unable to reach the goal．B. You can solve every problem you meet as long as you want to．C. YOU can't solve any problem in your life．D. If you can't solve all the problems．you can solve none．75. The phrase“catch-22”came into being ________ _．A. in World War IIB. in the Vietnam WarC. in the 1950sD. in the 1960sIV短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
