I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk… in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked… and then I realized I didn’t really know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really… because I decided to go further…I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um…anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them…There was a group – maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er…um, I …I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze, like a statue…I didn’t move…and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking…I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn't move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away.

I loved basketball team playing and I especially wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we were about to leave, a man came to us and said he had an extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What a wonderfulexperience.ViewingBefore you view1Reference answers1.Yes, I have been to a wedding. It was the wedding of my best friend’s sister.I enjoyed it very much because there was a lot of delicious food and I met alot of friends there.2.Yes, I do.

Second, there is always a huge wedding banquet. Family members and friends are invited to the wedding banquet.A huge amount of food is served along with liquor and wine. Third, the red coloris used to create a happy atmosphere. Colors play a significant role in Chinese culture, both then and now. red is the traditional wedding color as it signifies joy, love, and prosperity. The color is dominant throughout the wedding ceremony: The bride wears red clothes, guests give money in red envelopes, and there are red decorations everywhere at the wedding.3.I know almost nothing about Greek weddings, but I know there is a movie calledMy Big Fat Greek Wedding. From the name, I can assume there must be a lot of food and a lot of people at the wedding.2Reference answersFrancesco is an architect and historian. He visits the island of Crete and goes to a local wedding.While you viewScriptsF=Francesco; M1=Mamas; M2: MariaF: Kalimera. Kalimera. Er, can you show me around Crete?M1: Yes.F: This is the biggest Greek island of all, so I’ve got a local guide for the next two days.M1: Francesco, do you want to see a Cretan wedding?F: Oh, great! Traditional Cretan weddings can be incredible. Preparations often last days. Mamas is taking me to meet the bride, Maria Skula.F: Kalimera, Francesco.M2: Welcome! Come in.F: Congratulations!M2: Thank you.F: Are you a little nervous?M2: A little.F: All the women are helping prepare for the wedding feast. They’re making decorations in dough for a special wedding bread. How many guests for your wedding? M2: Er, 1,500 abut (about 1,500).F: Mmma mia, it’s a lot! Mamma mia. The whoel of Maria’s village has turned out to see her get married. The bride arrives with her father. She’s gorgeous. This is the nervous bridegroom, Jorgos. In a few minutes he and Maria will be man and wife.M2: I do!F: And now we go to party. It’s certainly the largest wedding reception I’ve ever been to. At Cretan weddings, guests give money as gifts.

Francesco is overwhelmedby all that.After you view5Reference answers1.I really like the Greek wedding style. I like the music and the dance very much.I can tell how excited people are and how much they enjoy the occasion. At aGreek wedding people can gather together with their family, relatives, and friends, and fully enjoy music, dance, food and drink. / Not really. I don’t particularly like big noisy weddings. I prefer a smaller and quieter wedding.I would rather just invite my family and a few close friends to my wedding.2.I definitely like the modern Chinese wedding most because it not only has sometraditional elements such as the red color, traditional wedding outfits, andthe ritual of bowing, but also contains Western elements, including champagne, wedding rings, and a wedding cake. /I actually prefer not to have a wedding ceremony. I would like to have a honeymoon instead. Getting married should only involve two people. I hope I can enjoy the happiness without being disturbed by others. Another important reason why I want to skip the wedding is that preparing for a wedding is such a huge, exhausting, and time-consuming project.I don’t want anyone to get into this kind of trouble.Speaking for communicationRole-playScripts1A: Hello.B: Hi, Sean.

We interviewed 12 people and asked them whether they have ever dived in the sea, done bungee jumping, or ridden on a roller-coaster. And we also asked them if they have, how they felt, and if they haven’t, whether they would like to try any of the activities.Here are our findings. Four of the interviewees have dived in the sea, and all of them regarded it as a wonderful experience. (Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their diving in the sea, if necessary.) Only two of them have done bungee jumping; one found it very exciting while the other thought it too scary. (Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their bungee jumping, if necessary.) Seven interviewees have ridden a roller-coaster; four of them enjoyed it while the other there felt it very scary and uncomfortable. ((Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their riding a roller-coaster, if necessary.) Surprisingly, one person reports that he hasn't done any of the three activities!As to whether they would like to try any of the activities they haven’t done before, most of the m say they would love to try diving in the sea or riding a roller-coaster, but only two people say they would try bungee jumping. The person who hasn’t tried any o the activities says he will never try any of them because they all sound very dangerous. (Paly the recording about whether they would like to try these activities, if necessary.)It was very interesting to hear people talk about their unusual experiences. We hopethat they will continue to have more special and exciting experiences in the future.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: How I wish you had gone to the concert with me last night.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck I fa black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed thatblack cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have god luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they low out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is the passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: according to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Answers1C 2A 3B 4CPassage 2Scripts and answersSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2)frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3)took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4)vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5)occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6)massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US history since 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7)caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8)keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9)grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know 10)in advance and make carful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

Butif I have t choose one as the most useful, I'd choose “keep a balance”.When we were?in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It's important to keep a balancebetween life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body.Now wehave much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to differentactivities.2 Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They toldme howimportant college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try todevelop more interests and join some student clubs. The mostimpressive advice theygave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead,they advised@me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Scripts:Sarah: Hi I'm Sarah. I'm a student advisor at a university. I know the first year of college is always difficult. You have to adapt to a new environment, and learn to doeverything on your own. To help make your transition just alittle easier,I'm going tointerview some senior students on campus let's see what advice they can give you.Sarah: Hi Jennifer. What do you think is important to a freshman?Sarah: Mark,do you agree with Jennifer?Mark: Absolutely. My advice is: Find a good place to study. It may be your dorm room or a corner of the library or a quiet classroom, but find a place that works bestfor you to get your work done. If you have trouble concentrating in your dorm,youneed to find another place.:Sarah: Nancy, what is our advice for freshmen?Nancy:“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”My advice is to get involvedon campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is that they miss home and theydon't have a sense of belonging. The solution is to join a student organization, or aclub, or a sports team. You will make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school.Sarah: Excellent advice, Nancy. Simon, it seems you have something to say.Sarah: They all give very useful tips. But let me add a few more. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions; take advantage of the learning resourceson campus; stay healthy and eat right. I hope you will get the most out of your college experience.Understanding the text.11. The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve thebest theycould.2. The president calls on the students to make the most of the greatresourceson campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue newpassions.3. By saying“sample them widely”, the president m ean students shouldtry maydifferent courses and try something new to see what it is like.5. We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we shouldchallengeourselves and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely tofind an interest we don't know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.$6. W should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of ourlife withenthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons which will enrich our life.7. The expression Now it is your turn”means that now it is time for you toacquire knowledge and to pass it on.Critical thinkingA university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in a number of ways. In the university I can acquirespecialized knowledgeabout my major, and develop critical thinking and researchskills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of different minds. I can gain abroader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.—Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and therefore more choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential.Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed.Not onlywill a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development,but hewill also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on hisown.I admire those who dropped out of university and yet have made fame for themselves by achieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed evenwithout a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the samemind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs,and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having*a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially collegeeducation. And there are people who choose to give up education because of thehigh cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge thatan education will offer. In other words, they would be “ignorant”. Theresul twouldbe that ignorant people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is truethat education is expensive, but if you try “ignorance”, the cost wouldbe even higherLanguage focusWords in use【37 resources8 yield9 inherited10 transmitWord building4Words learnednew words formed-uncoveruncovereasyuneasy,loadunload-antapplyapplicantresistresistantaccountaccountant-ifysimpleamplifynotenotify'qualityqualifyclassclassify5classifiedassistresistantuncovereduneasy*qualifyunloadingapplicantssimplifiedaccountantnotifiedbanked cloze6`7O8 I 9 G10 JExpressions in use7got bymake the most ofin advanceover time 5M 6 F1 D 2 H 3A 4B reap the benefits of&all at onceremind…ofstand a chance ofopen the door totake pleasure insection Breading skills1&AACB, C, EUnderstanding the text3.1 The father is happy that his child is going to college and will have newexcitingexperiences. Meantime, the father feels sad to see the child leave.¥2. Because it is in college that the child will find out what learning isabout.3. The statement“Education is what remains after one has forgotten everythinghe learned in school”was made by Einstein. It means that the details you havelearned or the facts you have remembered are not important. What is really important is the fact that you have learned how to learn and that you have developed a way of thinking and a sense of responsibility.4. the father thinks his child should take courses that will stimulate hisinterestand improve his intellectual capacity.6. the father warns his child not to be upset by low grades. They are onlylettersand are not important.8. The father is eager to see what his child will develop into, andwhatachievements his child will make in the future.Critical thinking4:My parents expect me to try my best in all aspects. They said to me when I left home for college,“Doing your best does not just mean you have to get straight A's. itmeans you should work as hard as you can, develop and flourish socially,and enjoylife fully.”They have very high expectations of me because they believe in me.Theyknow that I have the motivation and ability to achieve the goals I have set..I like to be friends with people who have similar hobbies to mine. If wehavesimilar hobbies, we will have a lot to talk about with each other. I also like to makefriends with outgoing people because I am very shy.. I only make friends with people who are honest, polite and sincere. Idon't carewhether we share similar hobbies or interests or not. As long as he/she is a nice person, I'll be happy to be friends with him/her.Actually, I think almost all courses can stimulate ourintellectual capacity.To some people, courses that require them to solve problems, such as math,physics,and enginerring, can enhance their intellectual capacity. But to other people their>intellectual capacity can be developed more by courses like music,philosophy, or literature, because they have to use their brainpower to think and seek answers sincethere are no right or wrong answers to many questions in thesefields.Personally, Ithink learning something new will definitely stimulate my intellectual capacity,soI'm going to take some courses both in arts and science.When I was a kid, my parents had to word away from home, so I had to staywith my relatives for four years without my parents being around. As a result, I havelearned to be very adaptable. Now, I an study and live in different environments.Being able to adapt is thus one of my dots.~Language focus5stimulatepotentialcultivateinstinctconfidentassured!curiosityparticipateapproachcapacityexpressions in use6intolike,touptoupoffinsentence structure7)Some people have pets and regard them as friends while other people dislike pets and think they may cause diseases.\Jerry is very bold and likes taking risks while his brother is extremely careful and thinks things through before doing anything.Beijing is a busy city with a large population while my hometown is very quiet with a small population.8It is Sam that/who thinks that the greatest achievement of last century was the landing of mankind on the moon.It was during my undergraduate studies that I found out what my passion was.It is the curiosity and creativity of children that causes many educators to believe that teaching should stimulate children's interest in learning.Collocation9make|makedomakemakedododo新视野大学英语1第三版读写教程答案U2:Part II key to exercisesSection APre-reading activities2.1.

The daughter did this onpurpose because at this age, she was being rebellious.The mother wants to show that although her daughter tries to show she is an adult, actually she is not.—The mother is hap that their daughter is dependent now, but on the other hand,she feels doubtful whether her daughter could take good care of herself.The mother wants to show that her daughter is not ready t e an adult yet.The mother puts her daughter's books onto a single shelf to deal with later.The mother finds an envelope with items such as old familyphotographs,letters, greeting cards, and love notes they gave their daughter and sees the words“DO NOT THROW AWAY”marked on the envelope. Her attitude then changes.At first the mother decides to throw some of the items away and donate the rest to charity.

I would call my mom to say sorry for acting rebelliously and would tell her how much Ilove her.

English大一英语新视野英语1考试

Going out on DatesWhen I was a young fellow, about thirteen, I had a group of friends who were a little older than I was, and more experienced. They knew a lot of different girls, and would often go to the beach with them if the weather was good.One time we were at the beach, and most of the guys had gone out on some rocks, with the girls. I was interested in a particular girl a little bit, and said to myself: "I think I'd like to take Barbara to the movies…"That's all I had to say, and the guy next to me got all excited. He marched out onto the rocks and found her. He pushed her back to the beach, all the while saying in a loud voice, "Feynman has something to say to you, Barbara!" It was most embarrassing.Pretty soon the guys were all standing around me, making a scene, and saying, "Well, say it, Feynman!" So I invited her to the movies. It was my first date.I went home and told my mother about it. She gave me all kinds of instructions on how to do this and that. For example, if we have to walk in the street, I should walk on the outside. She even told me what kinds of things to say. She was following a tradition: women teach their sons how to treat the next generation of women well.After dinner, I bathed, got all dressed up, and went to Barbara's house to call for her. It was a big adventure for me, and I was feeling nervous and a little shy. She was still upstairs getting ready of course (it's always like that), so her family had me wait for her in the dining room, where they and their friends were eating pie - a lot of people. They all had forks in their mouths and were saying things like "Isn't he sweet!" and all kinds of other stuff. I didn't feel sweet. It was absolutely terrible!I remembered everything about the date. As we walked from her house to the theater in town, we talked about playing the piano. I told her how, when I was younger, my parents had made me learn piano for a period of time, but after six months I was still playing "Dance of the Flowers" and couldn't stand it any more. You see, I was bothered by the thought that the other boys would think I was weak, and to be stuck for weeks playing "Dance of the Flowers" was too much for me, so I quit. I was really sensitive about showing any sign of weakness.After the movie I walked her back to her home. I praised the pink overcoat she was wearing. Then we shook hands and I said goodbye to her.Barbara said to me, "Thank you for a very lovely evening.""You're welcome!" I answered. I felt wonderful.The next time I went out on a date (it was with a different girl) I said goodbye to her, and she said, "Thank you for a very lovely evening."I didn't feel quite so wonderful. I was beginning to understand that "thank you for a very lovely evening" might mean, "I don't want to see you again."When I said goodbye to the third girl I took out, she's got her mouth open, ready to speak, and I said, "Thank you for a very lovely evening!"She paused and stared at me for a moment, and said, "Thank you-uh-Oh!-Yes-uh, I had a lovely evening, too, thank you!"Words: 600HomeOne Saturday night my wife and I were sitting around our rather worn living room with some old friends when one of them started trying to reme mber how long we’d lived there.“Since 1952,” I said. “We paid off the money we owed on the house eight years ago.”“If you don’t owe money on the house,” he said, “the house isn’t as valuable.”I’m in no way clever with money except when it comes to spending it. These words made me unhappy.“To whom is it not as valuable?” I asked him in a voice that was louder than necessary for him to hear what I was saying. “Not to me, and I’m the one who lives here. As a matter of fact, I like it mu ch more than I did when the bank owned part of it.”“What did you pay for it?” he asked.“We paid $29,500 in 1952.”My friend nodded and thought a minute.“I’m sure,” he said, “that you could get $85,000 for it today . . . you should ask for $95,000.”I don’t know why this is such a popular subject of conversation these days, but our house is not for sale. Our house is not a temporary investment. It is not a tent in which to spend the night before we rise in the morning to go on to some other place. Our house is our home. We live there. It is the place we go to when we don’t feel like going anywhere.We do not plan to move.Recent research shows that forty million Americans move every year. One out of every five of the American population packs up his things and goes to live somewhere else.Where is everyone moving to? Why are they moving there? Is it really better somewhere else?If people want a better house, why don’t they fix the one they have?If the bos s says their job is being moved to a new town, why don’t they get another job? Jobs are easier to come by than a home. I can’t imagine giving up my home because my job was moving.I have put up twenty-nine Christmas trees near the window of the living-room, each a little too tall. There are marks on the ceiling to prove it.Behind the curtain of the window nearest my wife’s desk, there is a section of wall which is four inches wide. It has missed the last four coats of paint so that the little chalk marks with dates opposite them would not be lost. If we moved, someone would certainly paint that section of the wall. How would we know how tall our children were when they were four years old?When you own a house you learn to live with its prob lems. If something doesn’t work quite right, the carpet is worn, the toilet or bathroom basin leaks, or you have a bad neighbor, you get used to them and, like your own shortcomings, you find ways to ignore them.Our house provides me with a simple pleasure every time I come home to it. I am welcomed by familiar furniture when I enter, and I’m warmed by everything in our house which may merelybe dust, but it is our dust and I like it.The talk of moving came up at dinner one night ten years ago. My son was only half listening, but at one point he looked up from his plate, and asked, “We’re settled here. Why would we want to move away from home?”When anyone asks me how much I think our house is worth, I just smile. The house is not for sale.Words: 616More the Same than DifferentEveryone listened carefully as the woman spoke."If you want to say 'okay', don't make a circle with your thumb and first finger," the woman announced. "That means okay here in the United States, but in the Soviet Union it has a dirty meaning."The group of 300 Americans laughed; a few people took notes."It's all right to admire something," the woman continued, "but don't admire it too much. Don't say, 'I really like your jacket.' Your Soviet friend will offer you the jacket and will be angry if you don't take it.""Remember that, in general, life in the Soviet Union is not as comfortable as life in the United States. You might not have hot running water to take a bath, or you might have to share a bathroom with five or six people."The woman was preparing the Americans for their voyage to the communist Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, the language, customs, and food would be different. The Americans were curious to learn about these differences before their voyage. They didn't want to experience culture shock. When they arrived in the Soviet Union, the Americans were glad that they had prepared themselves to experience life under communism. They enjoyed their vacation and made a lot of Soviet friends.The trip was planned by The Friendship Force, an international society that works for world peace. The Friendship Force believes that people who are friends will not fight wars. So, to help people from all over the world become friends, it organizes exchanges of people. In April 1990, 300 Americans visited the Soviet Union, and 300 Soviets visited the United States.The Soviets, like the Americans, prepared for their visit by learning about life in the other country. But still, they, experienced a little culture shock.The Soviets knew that Americans were fond of pets but they were shocked to see animals inside homes. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw dogs eat in the kitchen and sleep on people's beds.They were surprised at the difference between daily life in the Soviet Union and that in the United States. The Americans' lives, they said, were much easier. A Soviet woman was shocked when she saw an American poured rice directly from a box into a pan of boiling water. "You didn't wash the rice?" she asked. Then she explained that at home she had to wash the rice carefully andpick out all the small stones before putting it in the pot. "Are you kidding?" the American said. "If people here had to do that, nobody would buy rice."The Soviets knew that Americans liked to eat fast food in restaurants, but they were disappointed to see that Americans ate fast meals at home, too. In the Soviet Union, the evening meal often lasts an entire hour or more because families sit at the table and talk. When American families eat together -- if they eat together -- they often eat quickly and don't take time for a long dialog. The Soviets thought that was a shame.In spite of the political differences between their countries, as well as the differences in language and culture, the Soviets and Americans became friends. Sometimes the Soviets couldn't speak a word of English and the Americans couldn't speak a word of Russian. Yet they managed to communicated through sign language and a dictionary.One 11-year-old American girl wrote, "I have learned a lot from this experience. I learned about a different culture. And I learned that people all over the world are more the same than they are different."Words: 602The LetterI had to pound on the taxi to get his attention.“Is your taxi available?” I asked when he finally looked up at me from behind the wheel.He nodded, started the motor, and then apologized, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.“I’m in no hurry,” I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.”He shook his head. “I’ve read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.” He sta rted the taxi’s meter.Estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, I asked: “From a child or maybe a grandchild?”“This isn’t family,” he replied. “Although,” he went on, “come to think of it, he might just as well have been a regular member of th e family. Old Ed and I grew up together.”“There aren’t many people who’ve been friends for such a long length of time,” I said.“Actually,” the driver went on, “I had seen him not more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years becau se I moved away from the old neighborhood. He was a great guy.”“You said ‘was’. Does that mean—?”He nodded. “He died a couple of weeks ago.”“I’m sorry,” I said, “his death must be quite a blow to you.”He didn’t reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. Then he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me: “I should have kept in touch. Yes,” he repeated, “I should have kept in touch.”“Well,” I agreed, “we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”“We used to find the time,” he said. “That’s even mentioned in the letter.” He handed it overto me. “Take a look.”“Thanks,” I said, “but I don’t want to read your mail. That’s pretty personal.”The driver said, “Old Ed’s dead. There’s nothing personal now. Go ahead.” He pulled the letter from its plain white envelope and unfolded it.The first sentence reminded me of myself: I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always delayed it. It then went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. It referred to many things that had happened when they were young.“You must have spent a lot of time together,” I said to him.“We did. But for the last 20 or 30 years it’s generally just been postcards at Christmas time.”“This is a good part here,” I said. “Where it says, Your friendship over the years has really meant a lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that.” I found myself nodding in agreement.We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you. And it was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom. Tom? The letter was signed Tom?“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew that he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. It was never delivered.”His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. “I guess I should have written it sooner.”When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. First, I had to write a letter — and post it.Words: 603Making a Genius of Myself?In the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured this genius part of me as many different types, trying each one on for size. I was a dancing girl standing in the wings, waiting to hear the music that would send me floating like a feather across the stage. I was Cinderella gliding out of her golden coach with beautiful music filling the air.Whenever I imagined such things, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would respect me. I would never be scolded. I would never feel the need to complain about anything.But sometimes the genius in me became angry. "If you don't hurry up and get me out of here, I'm leaving for good," it warned. "And then you'll always be nothing."Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of child geniuses she had read about in Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, and a dozen other magazines she had piled into a basket in our bathroom. My mother got copies of these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. And since she cleaned many houses each week, we had a great many of them. She would look throughthem all, searching for stories about remarkable children.The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries. A teacher was reported as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly."What's the capital of Finland?" my mother asked me in her thick Chinese accent, looking at the magazine story.All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. "Nairobi!" I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce "Helsinki" before showing me the answer.The tests got harder -- doing math in my head, finding the queen of hearts in a pack of cards, trying to stand on my head without using my hands, guessing the daily temperatures in Los Angeles, New York, and London.One night I had to look at a passage from the Bible for three minutes and then report everything I could remember. "'Now the king had money and honor in great quantities, and . . .' that's all I remember, Ma," I said.And after seeing my mother's disappointed face once again, something in the depths of my soul began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes followed by failure. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when I saw only my own face staring back -- and that it would always be this ordinary face -- I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made cries like a crazy animal, trying to tear out the wet face in the mirror.And then I saw what seemed to be the genius side of me -- because I had never seen that face before. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The girl staring back at me was angry, strong. This girl and I were the same. I was flooded with fresh thoughts, thoughts filled with lots of won'ts. I won't let her change me, and I promised myself I won't be tricked into being what I'm not.。

Reading Comprehension (21 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment (环境) limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small.Some of the best suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.16. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ability of large windowsB) the difficulty of moving monkey trees into homesC) growing plants inside housesD) the best suited trees17. It is implied or suggested in the passage that ________.A) the inside environment can protect plants betterB) people like to use plants as decorations in their housesC) people move plants into their houses to save themD) the uses of windows in the past were not practical18. People used to believe that ________.A) the plants that could grow inside were limitedB) the plants that could grow inside were from hot placesC) the temperature in the inside environment could be controlledD) the larger plants grew better inside.19. One function of modern windows is ________.A) to allow fresh air in B) to grow plants and trees insideC) to provide heat and light D) to control the temperature20. It is not likely that large plants will move inside because ________.A) the weather is not suitable B) they cannot be movedC) they cannot be controlled D) there is not enough spaceText 2The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的)drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.21. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A) only from a man to womanB) among those who use drug instrumentsC) by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD) by touching an AIDS patient22. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A) the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB) the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC) the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD) one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease23. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS include ____________.A) weight lossB) too much expulsion of body wastesC) the appearance of red areas of skinD) a body temperature higher than a normal one24. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A) Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB) Whether one has unexplained weight lossC) Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD) The doctor's complete examination25. An AIDS blood test shows _________.A) whether the defense method is damaged or notB) whether one has AIDSC) one has a higher than normal body temperatureD) whether antibodies are produced in the bodyText 3In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a "study or research leave". Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university.Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave.At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him."I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties —the things a president does," Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forgetthings about people. I wanted to relearn things I'd forgotten.”Telling no one of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.26. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) why a professor should be free from his duties every seventh yearB) how professors spend their study leaveC) what a study leave is and its purposeD) how a study leave makes a professor a wiser person and a better teacher27. A study leave is a period of freedom from duties allowed to a university teacher who hastaught ________ since his last leave.A) for six years B) for seven yearsC) for a term D) for a university year28. People learned about Dr. Coleman's unusual experiences from ________.A) his colleagues B) the boss of a Boston restaurantC) the Canadian newspapers and magazines D) the U.S. newspapers and magazines29. Dr. Coleman carried out his study leave in an unusual way because ________.A) he hates his university life, especially his job as a presidentB) he wanted to learn about people, especially people who do hard physical laborC) he wanted to make himself known to the publicD) he wanted to write articles about people and have them printed in newspapers andmagazinesPart III.

I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk… in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked… and then I realized I didn’t really know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really… because I decided to go further… I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um…anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them…There was a group – maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er… um, I …I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze, like a statue… I didn’t move… and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking… I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn't move. In theend, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away.

I loved basketball team playing and I especially wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we were about to leave, a man came to us and said he had an extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What a wonderful experience.ViewingBefore you view1Reference answers1.Yes, I have been to a wedding. It was the wedding of my best friend’s sister. I enjoyed it verymuch because there was a lot of delicious food and I met a lot of friends there.2.Yes, I do. First, there is the ritual of bowing at traditional Chinese weddings. The bride andthe groom bow to show their respect first to Heaven and Earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other. Second, there is always a huge wedding banquet. Family members and friends are invited to the wedding banquet. A huge amount of food is served along with liquor and wine. Third, the red color is used to create a happy atmosphere. Colors play a significant role in Chinese culture, both then and now. red is the traditional wedding color as it signifies joy, love, and prosperity. The color is dominant throughout the wedding ceremony: The bride wears red clothes, guests give money in red envelopes, and there are reddecorations everywhere at the wedding.3.I know almost nothing about Greek weddings, but I know there is a movie called My Big FatGreek Wedding. From the name, I can assume there must be a lot of food and a lot of people at the wedding.2Reference answersFrancesco is an architect and historian. He visits the island of Crete and goes to a local wedding.While you viewScriptsF=Francesco; M1=Mamas; M2: MariaF: Kalimera. Kalimera.

Francesco is overwhelmed by all that.After you view5Reference answers1.I really like the Greek wedding style. I like the music and the dance very much. I can tell howexcited people are and how much they enjoy the occasion. At a Greek wedding people can gather together with their family, relatives, and friends, and fully enjoy music, dance, food and drink. / Not really. I don’t particularly like big noisy weddings. I prefer a smaller and quieter wedding. I would rather just invite my family and a few close friends to my wedding.2.I definitely like the modern Chinese wedding most because it not only has some traditionalelements such as the red color, traditional wedding outfits, and the ritual of bowing, but also contains Western elements, including champagne, wedding rings, and a wedding cake. /I actually prefer not to have a wedding ceremony. I would like to have a honeymoon instead.Getting married should only involve two people. I hope I can enjoy the happiness without being disturbed by others. Another important reason why I want to skip the wedding is that preparing for a wedding is such a huge, exhausting, and time-consuming project. I don’t want anyone to get into this kind of trouble.Speaking for communicationRole-playScripts1A: Hello.B: Hi, Sean. It’s Debbie.A: Hi, Debbie. What’s up?B: Is Kevin there?A: No, he’s not.

We interviewed 12 people and asked them whether they have ever dived in the sea, done bungee jumping, or ridden on a roller-coaster. And we also asked them if they have, how they felt, and if they haven’t, whether they would like to try any of the activities.Here are our findings. Four of the interviewees have dived in the sea, and all of them regarded it as a wonderful experience. (Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their diving in the sea, if necessary.) Only two of them have done bungee jumping; one found it very exciting while the other thought it too scary. (Paly the recording about what the interviewees sayabout their bungee jumping, if necessary.) Seven interviewees have ridden a roller-coaster; four of them enjoyed it while the other there felt it very scary and uncomfortable. ((Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their riding a roller-coaster, if necessary.) Surprisingly, one person reports that he hasn't done any of the three activities!As to whether they would like to try any of the activities they haven’t done before, most of the m say they would love to try diving in the sea or riding a roller-coaster, but only two people say they would try bungee jumping. The person who hasn’t tried any o the activities says he will never try any of them because they all sound very dangerous. (Paly the recording about whether they would like to try these activities, if necessary.)It was very interesting to hear people talk about their unusual experiences. We hope that they will continue to have more special and exciting experiences in the future.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: How I wish you had gone to the concert with me last night.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck I fa black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have god luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they low out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is the passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: according to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Answers1C 2A 3B 4CPassage 2Scripts and answersSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts.

One hundred years later, however, the Indians had only a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animalsfor food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100,000 to 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other, poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian War began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.21.What is said about the land of the American Indians in the passage?A)The land of the American Indians was taken from them without their consent.B)The American Indians had very few successes in their fight against the injustice of thewhite man.C)The Us law about the land of the American Indians was violated as soon as it waspassed.D)The American Indians have finally regained the right of their own land.22.Why did American Indians begin to see the white settlers as a danger to them?A)They fought against any law protecting the right of IndiansB)The settlers killed the animals and brought new diseasesC)They took away their animals and sold them to other white peopleD) They made American Indians work hard without pay23.What does the writer mean by “the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared”?A)The government had a new respect for the rights of the IndiansB)The government of the US never had any respect for the rights of the IndiansC)The white settlers began to ignore the law concerning the rights of IndiansD)The government began to ignore the rights of the Indians24.The US government began to move Indians off their original land. How did the Indiansreact?A)They became sick and diedB)They began to fight the whitesC) They had to struggle against starvationD) They launched a war against the whites which lasted for a hundred years25.What is the writer’s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the USgovernment?A)He believes that the government always respected the rights of the IndiansB)He believes that the government should pass a law to protect the IndiansC)He believes that the government treated the Indians very unjustlyD)He believes that the government cannot be criticized for its treatment of the Indians Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:In the opinion of many Americans and Europeans, we began to really explore our world only in the sixteenth century. According to them, the sailors of the ancient world did not explore distant parts of the world; they did not have the necessary knowledge or skills for long sea journeys. However, the people who have this opinion are forgetting two important facts of history.First, sometimes early scientists have an idea which is correct, but scientists in later centuries do not believe it. For example, about 270 BC, a Greek scientist had an idea which we all believe today: The earth moves around the sun. But for the following 1600 years scientists did not believe this. In their opinion, the sun clearly moved around the earth. They discovered the truth again only in the fifteenth century!The second fact of history that many people forget is this: Ancient does not mean primitive. For example, the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars; they used the knowledge to find their way across the oceans. Two thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earth. The results of his calculations were close the actual distance we know today! So the ancients had agreat deal of scientific knowledge. They also had skills which equaled the skills of today. For example, 1300 years ago and before, fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leather. Today some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the same design. They use tools and materials which are not very different from the tools and materials which their ancestors used. Why? The ancient design of the boats is good, and with skillful sailors, these boats can sail in all kinds of weather.Clearly, long before the sixteenth century, people had the skills, the knowledge, and the equipment which were necessary for long journeys by sea. The world did not have to wait until the sixteenth century for its first explorers!26.Which of the following statements is consistent with the passage?A)According to the writer, we only began to really explore the world in the sixteenthcenturyB)The ancient Egyptians had very little knowledge about the starsC)In the history of science, people sometimes have to discover a fact a second timeD)The writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for the two factsmentioned in the passage.27.Why does the writer use the example of the Greek scientist who calculated the distancearound the world?A)He wants to show the knowledge of ancient scientistsB)He wants to give an example of something which later scientists greatly improvedC)He wants to show that science has not been developing significantlyD)He wants to give an example of scientific knowledge which was available to earlyexplorers28. The word “primitive”(Line 1,Parag raph 3) means____A) underestimated B) unsophisticated C) basic D) primary29.According to the writer, why do Irish fishermen still use boats like the boats which theirancestors used 1000 years ago?A)They don’t have the money for expensive boatsB)Boats made of wood or leather are light and fastC)The necessary materials are easily availableD)The design of the boats is very good30.“People from the ancient world sailed around Africa. They even reached America.” In youropinion, how would the writer of the passage feel about the statements?A)In his opinion, they are possibleB)He does not believe themC)He has used this as an important fact to praise ancient civilizationD)In his opinion, ancient explorers did not have the skills necessary for long journeys Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few, for example; the average among students is about 6 perperson.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fac t, they simply do not have confidence.Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests—they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imaginegoing on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.31.According to the passage, a friend is __________.A)somebody we usually take for grantedB) a person with whom we often go out withC)someone with whom we occasionally go for a long tripD)not just anybody we get on well with32.Which of the following factors does the author believe are important in developingfriendship?A)Age and background. B) Economic and social position.C)Race and looks. D) Same interests and behavior.33.The passage tells us that sometimes a face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as asign of __________.A)Nervousness B) confidence C) unfriendliness D) distrust34.By saying that “some relationship are a result of argument and discussion” (Line 1, Para. 5),the author means that __________.A)bad relationships are a result of argument and discussionB)connections with people can be developed through discussion and argumentC)argument and discussion can lead to improving personal relationshipsD)arguing and discussing things will sometimes result in friendship35.We learn from the passage that __________.A)friendship can overcome difference in experienceB)there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC)putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD)friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voicesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Singapore, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians(行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.36.What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A)Taller vehicle can pass under them.B)Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C)They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D)They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.37.Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A)Because they do not hold up traffic.B)Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C)Because they save money for the government.D)Because they save time for the pedestrians.38.Which of the following is true according to this passage?A)Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B)Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C)Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D)Overhead bridges are only found in the capital of Singapore.39.The expression “zebra crossings” in Paragraph 2 means ______.A) a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB) a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC) a safe place where zebras walk aroundD) a safe place across a road for children to play a game40.What is the writer’s attitude towards overhea d bridges?A)It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B)It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C)Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossings.D)To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Part III Vocabulary and StructureSection A (10 points)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

I loved basketball team playing and I especially wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we were about to leave, a man came to us and said he had an extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What a wonderful experience.ViewingBefore you view1Reference answers1.Yes, I have been to a wedding. It was the wedding of my best friend’s sister. I enjoyed it verymuch because there was a lot of delicious food and I met a lot of friends there.2.Yes, I do. First, there is the ritual of bowing at traditional Chinese weddings. The bride andthe groom bow to show their respect first to Heaven and Earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other. Second, there is always a huge wedding banquet. Family members and friends are invited to the wedding banquet. A huge amount of food is served along with liquor and wine. Third, the red color is used to create a happy atmosphere. Colors play a significant role in Chinese culture, both then and now. red is the traditional wedding color as it signifies joy, love, and prosperity. The color is dominant throughout the wedding ceremony: The bride wears red clothes, guests give money in red envelopes, and there are reddecorations everywhere at the wedding.3.I know almost nothing about Greek weddings, but I know there is a movie called My Big FatGreek Wedding.

Come in.F: Congratulations!M2: Thank you.F: Are you a little nervous?M2: A little.F: All the women are helping prepare for the wedding feast.

I can tell howexcited people are and how much they enjoy the occasion. At a Greek wedding people can gather together with their family, relatives, and friends, and fully enjoy music, dance, food and drink. / Not really. I don’t particularly like big noisy weddings. I prefer a smaller and quieter wedding. I would rather just invite my family and a few close friends to my wedding.2.I definitely like the modern Chinese wedding most because it not only has some traditionalelements such as the red color, traditional wedding outfits, and the ritual of bowing, but also contains Western elements, including champagne, wedding rings, and a wedding cake. /I actually prefer not to have a wedding ceremony. I would like to have a honeymoon instead.Getting married should only involve two people. I hope I can enjoy the happiness without being disturbed by others.

We interviewed 12 people and asked them whether they have ever dived in the sea, done bungee jumping, or ridden on a roller-coaster. And we also asked them if they have, how they felt, and if they haven’t, whether they would like to try any of the activities.Here are our findings. Four of the interviewees have dived in the sea, and all of them regarded it as a wonderful experience. (Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their diving in the sea, if necessary.) Only two of them have done bungee jumping; one found it very exciting while the other thought it too scary. (Paly the recording about what the interviewees sayabout their bungee jumping, if necessary.) Seven interviewees have ridden a roller-coaster; four of them enjoyed it while the other there felt it very scary and uncomfortable. ((Paly the recording about what the interviewees say about their riding a roller-coaster, if necessary.) Surprisingly, one person reports that he hasn't done any of the three activities!As to whether they would like to try any of the activities they haven’t done before, most of the m say they would love to try diving in the sea or riding a roller-coaster, but only two people say they would try bungee jumping. The person who hasn’t tried any o the activities says he will never try any of them because they all sound very dangerous. (Paly the recording about whether they would like to try these activities, if necessary.)It was very interesting to hear people talk about their unusual experiences. We hope that they will continue to have more special and exciting experiences in the future.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: How I wish you had gone to the concert with me last night.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck I fa black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have god luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they low out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is the passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: according to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Answers1C 2A 3B 4CPassage 2Scripts and answersSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts.

People used to believe that when an earthquake 3)took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4)vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5)occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6)massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US history since 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7)caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8)keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9)grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know 10)in advance and make carful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

What time should we be thereW: Some people are coming around 11:00, and we’re going to play badminton, but we won’t eat until around 12:30. Q: At what time are they going to eat?4. M: I knew Dr. Smith’s birthday was October 26th, but I didn’t realize it was this Saturday.W: Let’s give him a surprise party. We could ask him to meet us at his office at 5, and then we could take him to dinner at the restaurant around 5:30.Q: What time does the woman suggest meeting Dr. Smith?5. M: I just read that Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, when very little was understood about time and energy.W: Absolutely. But when he died on April 18, 1955, people knew a lot more, and nuclear power stations had been built. Q: When was Einstein born?1.D2.B3.C4.A5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: A PictureI have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or I’m worried about an exam, I just take a look at it. It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago when we were in high school. It reminds me of the good time we’ve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions, the bond we created has kept us close. Every week I get a message on my answering machine from one of them, or a letter in the mail with the latest news or vacation photos. I often get e-mail with a joke for the day, or words of comfort about some problems in my life. My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties, and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest. Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences, and has enriched the good ones. It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements, changes, and separation.1.C2.A3.D4.B5.BTask 2: Problem of Meeting PeopleAs a foreign student, I have a number of problems, both academically and socially. The biggest one is meeting people. I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems from my studies, but I’m not comfortable making friends with other students, especially local ones. Perhaps I’m worrying unnecessarily, but I find it difficult to talk to them and to make friends. The primary reasons is the language barrier. My English is quite standard and forma, and although that helps me with my academic work, I have trouble understanding other students when they are just talking. It seems to me that in order to meet with other students I really need informal, colloquial English. Besides, there’s the cultural gap. That’s why it’s so difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other. I really want to overcome this difficulty. I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about course work that we share; and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee. Over coffee we could get to know each other. Another way would be to join a club, like a tennis club or a photo club, because that immediately gives you something in common with other people there. It gives you a starting point to build on.1.He has both academic and social problems.2.He fells confident about his ability to cope with his studies.3.The language barrier is the main reason why he finds it hard to make friends with local students.4.It is difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other because thereis the cultural gap.5.Te best way for the overseas students to actually overcome the difficulty of making friends with native English speakingstudents is to start talking about course work.Task 3: Long Distance FriendshipsI have quite a few long distance friendships. How do I maintains these relationships? Well, I believe friendship is very important, But I also think friendship really needs tending—like plants in the garden. It’s important to keep up to date with my friends, something that’s hard to do with long distances between us. But over the years I have managed to stay very tight with my friends, even though distances separate us. Jane lives in another city, and she’s not much for writing letters, so we talk on the phone at least once a week, usually for an hour at a time. We take turns calling each other, so I stay close to her through the phone. My phone bills are high, but I consider them just another living expense, like rent. Other friends I e-mail. I have one friend who just isn’t into writing letters. I’ve known her for a long time. We’ve always considered ourselves friends, but over time I’ve always been in and out of touch with her. But she is always on-line—e-mail is her thing. Since I’ve gotten an e-mail address, I e-mail her twice a week. Now, I’m back in good touch with her. She’ll often sit down and write me e-mail, but she just wouldn’t do it with pen and paper. E-mail’s really a great way to keep in touch with friends.1.maintain2.tending3.date4.phone5.turns6.bills7.expenses8.e-mail 10.touchTask 4: An Announcement1.The Student Friendship Association2.outing3.school gate4.6:405.7 sharp6.on timeIV.

You looked so tired and worried.Sarah: My roommate, Nicole, had a temperature last night, as high as 40 degrees centigrade!Susan: Terrible! Is she all right now?Sarah: I don’t know. She’s in hospital.Susan: I hope she’ll be fine.Sarah: So do I.V. Let’s TalkJack: Hi, I’ve been looking for you since the morning. I couldn’t find you anywhere.Jane: Yeah. I don’t feel like hanging out with the crowd any more, especially since Susan stopped coming to school. Jack: I know. It’s such a pity about her parents: losing one parent is bad enough, but losing them both on the same day and in such an accident…It’s terrible! Have you seen her since?Jane: No. I tired talking to her on the phone. She sounded bad.Jack: The other day, I talked to Mr. Smith—you know that tall guy who works in the Dean’s Office. Apparently, Susan is thinking of dropping out of school. She has almost money, you know. Her parents didn’t have much savings.Jane: Yeah. I’ve been quite worried about her. But simply feelings sorry for her is not enough; we have to think of some way to help her. Have any suggestions?Jack: Well, I haven’t really thought about it. I could possibly give her some money. I’ve saved up from my part-time job. Jane: Wow. You’re so generous! But…that wouldn’t be a long-term solution.Jack: That’s true…Perhaps we could help her find a part-time job.Jane: Good idea! The lady who runs the shop where I work at night could be helpful. If Susan is interested, I can introduce her to the lady.Jack: Great! Once she gets a regular income, things will be better. More than anything else, it will take her mind off her tragedy.Jane: Hmm…I was wondering, could we organize a fund-raiser for her?Jack: Well, I’m not so sure how that would work. You know, taking help from us, her best friends, is one thing, but getting the whole school involved may not be a good idea.Jane: Yeah. You’re right. We’ll think of something else. In the meantime let’s go ahead with what we’ve planned. (Looking at her watch) Oh! It’s five to two. I have a class. I gotta run. Let’s meet tonight.

Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Worry of a TeacherSusan Smith cared for her students very much, and they all liked her. She wanted them to learn and to be happy. She had a special relationship with one student, Doris. Doris had been to Susan’s house several times and had come to know her husband and children. Lately, Susan had been very worried about Doris because the student’s hometown had recently been hit by a strong earthquake. Susan observed that Doris had lost a lot of weight and often had dark circles under her eyes. She talked to Doris and was as helpful as she could be, but felt that Doris really should see a doctor. One day, Susan talked to Doris and suggested that she go to the health center to talk to one of the doctors. Doris’ face became very red. She said, “I don’t need a doctor. How could you make a suggestion like that? I thought you were my friend!” Susan was very surprised by Doris’ reaction. She said, “I’m sorry to have upset you. I just want to help.” After that conversation, Doris stopped talking to Susan. She also transferred out of her class.1. learn happy2. earthquake3. weight dark circles4. the health center turned red5. surprised talking transferredTask 2: How to build lifelong friendship?You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendships to last a lifetime. However, lifelong friendships are not always what everybody can get. Friends sometimes misunderstand each other. For one thing, you may want your friends to be near at hand, but also you need your independence and privacy. For example, when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say “no”to hi or her because it is nor convenient for you. Unfortunately, not all your friends understand this type of independence. They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be “yes”. Also, misunderstanding sometimes occurs when you ask for help. You expect your friends to help you mo matter what the circumstances are. But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy each of your needs. This may make you angry with them and your friendship could fade. The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other.1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 3: At Your SideWhen the daylight’s gone and you’re on your own,And you need a friend just to be around.I will comfort you; I will take your hands.And I’ll pull you through, I will understand.And you know that I’ll be at your side.There’s no need to worry.Together we’ll survive through the haste and hurry.I’ll be at your side.If you feel like you’re alone, and you’ve nowhere to turn,I’ll be at your side.If life’s standing still and your soul’s confused,And you cannot find what road to choose.If you make mistakes,You can’t let me down.I will still believe,I will turn around…。
