AOutside viewVoice-overEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in threedifferent projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.1. 17 to 252. 100 people3.

So what can I do for youSpeaker 2Well, next year’s my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit inyour first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to doSpeaker 2I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic.Speaker 1That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editorSpeaker 2That’s right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature. For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports.Speaker 2I’m not very sporty.Speaker 1Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea.Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I startSpeaker 1First of all, you need agood degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CV and you’ll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write toSpeaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2I’ll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing,sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those.Speaker 2Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.1.The five pieces of advice he career adviser gives the student are 1,2,4,7 and 82.1. The woman is to take her second year exams.2. She wants to do literary editing.3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing.Passage2HarrySo how was your first day of teaching, LucyLucyIt was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be.HarryWell done!LucyYes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.JessicaIt’s extraordinary, isn’t it We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover we don’t know anything.LucyHow long have you been teaching, JessicaJessicaJust over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really –the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time.PatrickSo you’re teaching English because you want to travelJessicaYes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.PatrickI feel the same. So what do you want to do nextJessicaMarketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then –I hope –get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the plan.PatrickSounds good.HarryWhat about you, Patrick Where have you workedPatrickI did three years in Italy –Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn, Harry.HarryWell, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.JessicaYou don’t see teaching English as a careerHarryWell, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.LucyWhich countries have you been to, HarryHarryI did a year’s teaching in Brazil –Rio de Janeiro –such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.PatrickCool. And thenHarryTwo years in Mexico City …JessicaYou should be a travel writer.HarryI’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.LucyGreat!HarryWell, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, LucyLucyUm - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it’s great to be in Italy.

Do you know itJanet ：I’ve heard of it, yes, but I’ve never read it. It’s a 19th century children’s story, isn’t itKate ：That’s right. It’s very famous. It’s set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl’s family on this river bank.Janet ：Oh, that’s fascinating! I’ll put it into my diary.Kate ：Is that what you’re writing I know you’ve been keeping a diary all the year. Janet It’s been a great year. I’ve had such a good time –so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I’ve been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet：My screen’s gone dark.Mark ：You’re using the battery, remember. It’s run out, obviously.Janet ：It can’t be the battery. It’s still charged. Oh no it’s still black. Oh dear, I hope it’s nothing serious. I haven’t backed anything up recently.Kate ：That’s not like you, Janet.Janet ：I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I’ve lost everything!Mark ：Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working (I)think it has to be the graphics card …But maybe that’s not the problem …Janet ：If only I’d backed things up!KateRelax, Janet! We’ll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I’m sure it’ll be OK.Janet ：I hope so.2.The true statements are 1, 6 and 83.1. The battery2. It can’t be, the battery is still charged.3.

The graphic card.Conversation2Janet ：Tell me about Alice in Wonderland.KateI tell you what, I’ll read it to you.KateAlice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,”thought Alice “without pictures or conversation”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) …JanetKate, Mark, where are you going You’ve got my laptop!KateIt’s all right, Janet, we’re taking it to the computer shop. We’ll be back soon.MarkIt’s not like Janet to forget to back up her work.KateShe should have been more careful.JanetIt was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid!JanetOh! It was a dream! What a relief!KateYou were talking in your sleep.JanetWhat was I sayingKate“Stupid, stupid.”MarkI’ve sorted out your computer.JanetHave you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problemMarkIt was the graphics card, as I predicted …JanetIs that what it was! I’m so relieved! Thanks,Mark.KateHe’s great, isn’t heJanet ：Yes.

However, we’re going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world’s biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing “superjumbo”. The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built inFrance, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with 154 planes ordered by the world’s airlines, the big question was: “Will it fly at all”On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.Topics mentioned are: 1, 3, 5, 6 and 82.1.France2. China3. Britain4.

CListening inPassage1PresenterCould technological advances be changing people’s identities –and possibly even society as a whole That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel. Greenfield suggests that advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I’m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital. Let’s begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains workBrianWell, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other –billions of connections –and store information. We all have basically the same brain structure. It’s what we dowith our brain that makes the difference. We take in information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it. So to some extent, it’s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are –and that’s what we call our identity.JaneAnd if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in theiridentity.PresenterWhy exactlyJaneBecause the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may be changing our sense of reality –what we see as real –and may even reduce it. And if this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behaviour.PresenterCan you give an exampleJaneRisk-taking is a good example –we may start taking more risks.BrianBut she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.JaneThat’s true.BrianI agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behave differently –we need much more research before we can accept this.2.1. presenter2.

How can anyone say otherwise They’ve revolutionized our lives. I mean, I don’t know where to begin, they’ve changed our lives so much. Look. To start with, computers mean we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world almost instantly.Speaker 1That’s not quite true.Speaker2Well, you know what I mean. I can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes. If I want to conference with people there’s webcam –we can see each other on camera –do you really want me to go onSpeaker 1But why is it so useful, to be able to send a documentto Australia in five minutes What does it actually achieve Speaker 2It speeds things up. I don’t have to put the document in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and go to the post office, stand in a queue …knowing it will take another three days to get there –at least.Speaker 1But why the hurrySpeaker 2It’s good to get things done quickly.Speaker 1WhySpeaker 2Because you get more done that way.Speaker 1But is that really necessarily better Life moves so fast these days, don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit moreSpeaker 2I think computers allow us to enjoy life more. Before we had computers if you wanted to research you had to go out and get a book. That took such a long time.Speaker 1So what We just did things more slowly, that’s all. Are you saying we have more time now than we didEveryone says that actually life is moving faster and faster. And what about all the problems that computers createSpeaker 2For exampleSpeaker 1Identity theft is a big one. You have to admit that identify theft has increased massively since we got the Internet.Speaker 2The Internet isn’t the only reason why identity theft has increased.Speaker 1You know as well as I do that it’s a big reason …Speaker 2Yes, but …6.1. Do we really need computer2. Of course we need computers- they’ve revolutionized our lives3.We can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes; we can use webcam to conference with people who are far away.4. Life moves so fast these days. Don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more7.1. I thought you mightsay that.2. That’s not quite true.3. But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minute4. But why the hurry5.But is that really necessarily better6. So what7. You know as well as I do it’s a big reason.。

大学英语第二册第9课 课文及课后答案
究竟什么是智力？-阿西莫夫解释，为什么智力低些的反而能在智力测验时取得高分。
作者：艾萨克·阿西莫夫究竟什么是智力？当我在军队里时我遇到一种所有士兵参加的能力测试，对应通常的100分，会给160分。
基地里还没有人看到那样一种数字并且两个小时时间他们让我造成不必要的紧张（这不意味着任何事情。
第二天做为我的最高的职位我仍然是一名厨房值勤的列兵。
）在我的一生中，我一直在登记着那样的分数，以至于我产生了自满的感觉我是高智商的，并且我期待其他人也是这样认为。
实际上，虽然如此的分数并不简单地表明我在回答那种典型的学术性问题时是很好的，这些问题被那些设计智力测验的人们认为值得回答——那些人的智力与我的近似？例如，我曾经有一名汽车修理工，我估计他在这些智力测验方面是不可能有高过80的分数。
我总是据此以为我是比他聪明得多的。
但是，我的汽车出了任何问题时我总是赶紧让他来维修，当他检查汽车的零部件时我烦恼地看着他，听着他的似乎是圣言的判断——并且他总能修好我的汽车。
于是，就建议我的汽车修理工为一个智力测验设计问题。
或者建议一位木匠这么做，或者一位农民，或者其他人，的确，除了院士以外的所有人。
通过这些测验中的每一个证明，我自己是一个低能者。
并且我已经是一名低能者。
在一个我不能使用我所受的学院训练和我的口才但不得不用我的双手来做复杂或粗糙的工作的世界里，我会做得很糟糕。

She buys groceries every other day and puts the meat and vegetables for the following day in the refrigerator. She likes to go to the grocery store around 9 o'clock in the morning when it is not the rush hour. When she goes to the market, she doesn't like to bargain with vendors, she thinks it's a waste of time. According to her, the money saved is not worth the effort. Time is money!For major purchases, we usually go together as a family, so that I can have a word as to which brand to buy. Once we bought a TV set. During the process of decision making, my mother wanted to buy a TV set made by a local factory so that we could have better service if anything went wrong with it. But I insisted on buying a different brand that was of better quality. But the manufacturer was in another city. I tried to convince my parents that with a high quality product, it would save us a lot of trouble and time in maintenance. And if the quality was poor, we wouldn't feel happy to enjoy the good after-sale service. Finally, my parents agreed with me and bought the one I suggested.Vocabulary1. l)b 2) a 3) a 4) a 5)b 6)b 7)b 8) a2. 1) survey 2) consideration 3) perceive 4) tend5) campaign 6) relatively 7) primary 8) criteria3.1) A. bands B. brandbands: small groups of musicians who play musicbrand: a particular trademark of goods2) A. economy B. economicseconomy: the wealth a country gets from business and industryeconomics: the study of the way in which money, industry, and trade are organized in a so c iety3) A. adolescents B.

Even after I have gone over the same area several times, the dirt remains. The power shuts off by itself when the vacuum has been running for several minutes, then comes back on after 30 to 60 seconds.Second, when I went back to at the Floor Store, I was told that because the vacuum was on sale, I could not exchange or return it, which I was not told when I made the purchase. I was also treated rudely by the salesman, Robert Rule, and then by the manager, Alfred Adams.I am requesting that you provide me with a new vacuum cleaner, on condition that if this oneproves to be unacceptable, I will receive a refund. 4) I also ask that you investigate the business practices of the First Store, as they are poor representatives of your company.I can be reached during the day at (806) 827-9318 or after six in the evening at (806)444-2897.5) May I hear from you before March?Yours truly,John Smith4 Making a Co m plaint1) S am plebroken switches;poor quality sound;faulty winding/rewinding;broken case;faulty recording system2)SampleC=Customer S=Shop AssistantS: What can I do for you?C: I want to return the tape recorder.S: I'm sorry.

One is that it won't rewind. The other is that the sound is not clear. It's very noisy.S: Let me see. No, you are right. It doesn't work very well. But I'm afraid I will have to ask the manager. Could you please leave your name and telephone number so that I can contact you later?C: Yes, this is my business card. But would you please give me a copy of the receipt I gave you and write down my two complaints? I would like to have a new tape recorder.

Though I have already had a good knowledge of his famous novels and even some details of the characters in his books, I really appreciate his books and would like to have a set of my own. It is well worth buying for me, and it is just like an old friend who can remind me of my happy childhood occasionally.Besides, I'd like to buy some DVDs and some books which I have been dreaming of. I likemovies, old and modem as well as those classic novels.— To me, a mobile phone nowadays has truly become a necessity especially for studentsaway…Part FourWRITING AND TRANSLATION2 Translation Practice1) Real bargains are benef i cial to customers. Consumers are willing to buy products of (a) highquality at a low price. However, some bargains in some shops are poor in quality. Consumers willbe cheated if they buy them. Therefore, one has to be careful in buying bargains. It may take hima lot of time to hunt for real bargains. In addition, what the purchasers should pay attention to isthat they shouldn't buy things they don't need though they are bargains. Otherwise, they are just wasting money.2) Shopping is closely related to media. A lot of the consumers buy products under the influenceof advertisements. These ads provide people with all kinds of information about different items.No wonder manufacturers spend a lot of money to advertise their products through various media. Nowadays, Internet, as a new medium, is playing a more and more important role in shopping.It is faster, easier and more convenient. Shopping on the Net is likely here to stay.H Writingi)on b argainsSample1Bargains are products that are reduced in price. Some bargains are real bargains, because they are cheaper in price but the quality is quite good. Some bargains are of very poor quality because the shopkeeper merely marks prices higher than normal and then marks them down. This is, in fact, a trick to cheat customers. I think th i s kind of bargain is bad and should be prohibited.But I like real bargains. It is important to be able to buy goods you want with less money. But it takes a lot of time, you have to hunt for bargains. Once I bought a pair of leather shoes at half price.I felt very happy. But sometimes I feel cheated when the shop assistant says that theoriginal price was 300 yuan, for example, but now it's only 100 yuan and I know he is not telling the truth. Some customers who cannot resist the temptation will buy the product. Later when they find out that they have been cheated, they will be very angry.In a word, bargains are good if they are real bargains. However one has to be careful in buying bargains. It's also wise never to buy anything you don't really need just because it's cheap.。

When? KateTwo weeks’time ……InterviewerSo what made you decide to study law, Kate?KateA number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I’ve got a good brain, a good memory. And I’d certainly like to do some part-time work for Legal Aid. And also, I must admit, the money’s good. InterviewerWell, those are good, honest answers. Certainly, your CV’s very good.

Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going tomake bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.1. 17 to 252. 100 people3.

Speaker 2Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it’s all go at the moment. Speaker 1It’s not going to ease up! So what can I do for you? Speaker 2Well, next year’s my final year and I need to thinkseriously about my career.Speaker 1I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to do? Speaker 2I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic.Speaker 1That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editor? Speaker 2That’s right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature. For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports. Speaker 2I’m not very sporty. Speaker 1Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea. Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I start?Speaker 1First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CVand you’ll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates. Speaker 2I’ll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing, sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those.Speaker 2Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.1.The five pieces of advice he career adviser givesthe student are 1,2,4,7 and 82.1. The woman is to take her second year exams.2. She wants to do literary editing.3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing. Passage2HarrySo how was your first day of teaching, Lucy?LucyIt was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be. HarryWell done!LucyYes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.JessicaIt’s extraordinary, isn’t it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover we don’t know anything. LucyHow long have you been teaching, Jessica?JessicaJust over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really –the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time. PatrickSo you’re teaching English because you want to travel?JessicaYes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.PatrickI feel the same. So what do you want to do next? JessicaMarketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then –I hope –get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the plan. PatrickSounds good.HarryWhat about you, Patrick? Where have you worked? PatrickI did three years in Italy –Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn, Harry.HarryWell, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.JessicaYou don’t see teaching English as a career? HarryWell, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.LucyWhich countries have you been to, Harry? HarryI did a year’s teaching in Brazil –Rio de Janeiro –such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.PatrickCool. And then?HarryTwo years in Mexico City …JessicaYou should be a travel writer.HarryI’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.LucyGreat!Harry Well, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, Lucy?LucyUm - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it’s great to be in Italy.

Janet ：I’ve heard of it, yes, but I’ve never read it. It’s a 19th century children’s story, isn’t it? Kate ：That’s right. It’s very famous. It’s set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl’s family on this river bank.Janet ：Oh, that’s fascinating! I’ll put it into my diary.Kate ：Is that what you’re writing? I know you’ve been keeping a diary all the year. Janet It’s been a great year. I’ve had such a good time –so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. FeelI’ve been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet：My screen’s gone dark.Mark ：You’re using the battery, remember. It’s run out, obviously. Janet ：It can’t be the battery. It’s still charged. Oh no it’s still black. Oh dear, I hope it’s nothing serious. I haven’t backed anything up recently. Kate ：That’s not like you, Janet.Janet ：I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I’ve lost everything!Mark ：Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working …I think it has to be the graphics card …But maybe that’s not the problem …Janet ：If only I’d backed things up!KateRelax, Janet!

KateI tell you what, I’ll read it to you.KateAlice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,”thought Alice “without pictures or conversation?”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) …JanetKate, Mark, where are you going? You’ve got my laptop!KateIt’s all right, Janet, we’re taking it to the computer shop. We’ll be back soon.MarkIt’s not like Janet to forget to back up her work.KateShe should have been more careful.JanetIt was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! JanetOh! It was a dream!

However, we’re going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world’s biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing “superjumbo”. The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several Europeancountries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built in France, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with 154 planes ordered by the world’s airlines, the big question was: “Will it fly at all?”On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.Topics mentioned are: 1, 3, 5, 6 and 82.1.France2. China3. Britain4. Spain, Germany, Britain, France5. Canada6.Britain7. France3.1.d;2. B;3. B;4. A; 4. C Listening inPassage1PresenterCould technological advances be changing people’s identities –and possibly even society as a whole? That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel. Greenfield suggests that advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I’m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital. Let’s begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains work?BrianWell, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other –billions of connections –andstore information. We all have basically the same brain structure. It’s what we do with our brain that makes the difference. We take in information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it. So to some extent, it’s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are –and that’s what we call our identity. JaneAnd if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in theiridentity.PresenterWhy exactly?JaneBecause the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may be changing our sense of reality –what we see as real –and may even reduce it. And if this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behaviour. PresenterCan you give an example?JaneRisk-taking is a good example –we may start taking more risks.BrianBut she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.JaneThat’s true.BrianI agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behave differently –we need much more research before we can accept this.2.1. presenter2. Brian Thomas3.Jane Ferris4. Jane Ferris5. Jane Ferris6. Brian Thomas3.1.in technology; who we are2. is a very dangerous thing3. all this information4. young people think5. in our behavior6. some interesting questionsPassage2Speaker 1Do we really need computers? Aren’t they more trouble than they’re worth?Speaker 2I think that’s one of the stupidest questions I’ve ever heard!Speaker 1I thought you might say that.Speaker 2Of course we need computers. How can anyone say otherwise? They’ve revolutionized our lives. I mean, I don’t know where to begin, they’ve changed our lives so much. Look. To start with, computersmean we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world almost instantly. Speaker 1That’s not quite true. Speaker2Well, you know what I mean. I can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes. If I want to conference with people there’s webcam –we can see each other on camera –do you really want me to go on?Speaker 1But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minutes? What does it actually achieve? Speaker 2It speeds things up. I don’t have to put the document in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and go to the post office, stand in a queue …knowing it will take another three days to get there –at least. Speaker 1But why the hurry? Speaker 2It’s good to get things done quickly.Speaker 1Why?Speaker 2Because you get more done that way.Speaker 1But is that really necessarily better? Life moves so fast these days, don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more? Speaker 2I think computers allow us to enjoy life more. Before we had computers if you wanted to research you had to go out and get a book. That took such along time.Speaker 1So what? We just did things more slowly, that’s all. Are you saying we have more time now than we did? Everyone says that actually life is moving faster and faster. And what about all the problems that computers create?Speaker 2For example?Speaker 1Identity theft is a big one. You have to admit that identify theft has increased massively since we got the Internet. Speaker 2The Internet isn’t the only reason why identity theft has increased. Speaker 1You know as well as I do that it’s a big reason …Speaker 2Yes, but …6.1. Do we really need computer?2. Of course we need computers- they’ve revolutionized our lives3.We can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes; we can use webcam to conference with people who are far away.4. Life moves so fast these days. Don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more?7.1. I thought you might say that.2. That’s not quite true.3. But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minute?4. But why the hurry?5.But is that really necessarily better?6. So what?7. You know as well as I do it’s a big reason.。

大学英语综合教程2unit9 what is happiness 译文
What is happiness追求幸福是美国人与生俱来被赋予的权利，但是似乎没有人确切地知道怎样到达幸福。
这就像是我们有猎物执照却无猎可捕一样。
当乔纳森·斯威夫特抨击这种“着迷于被欺骗的状态”，这种成为“白痴中的傻瓜”的快乐感觉时，他也是这样想的。
斯威夫特把整个社会看做一个名利场，一片充满虚幻目标的土地。
当然，站在傻瓜和白痴的角度看问题是非美国式思维，然而，我们似乎已经现身于用金钱购买幸福的想法中了，（我们以为）当我们拥有的足够多时，我们便一定可以去往天堂。
与此同时，美国实利主义正在很大程度上致使我们不幸福。
广告业是我们的主要商业之一，然而它的存在绝不是满足欲望，而是在刺激欲望的产生--而且它让欲望产生的速度远超出我们挣钱满足欲望的速度，正因如此，我们的整个经济都建立在奋不顾身的贪婪之上。
我们被告知幸福就是拥有，然后再让我们产生欲望。
我们甚至被告知需求就是我们的责任。
举个例子，仅几年前，全国上下的汽车销售行就全都挂满飘扬的横幅，上面写着“你该买辆车了。
”它们在号召美国人这种爱国行为，让他们用还未到手的钱来购买本不需要的车，并在第二年新款车发布时厌恶它。
或者说，再来看看女性杂志吧。
这里，像伯纳德·德沃托曾经提出的，开始的前几页是首诗，结束的几页变成了处方书和治疗方法。
开始时的诗歌是绝世佳人的美梦。
她拥有婴儿般的皮肤，洁白如玉的牙齿，芳香的气息。
不管她40,50,60岁都有着16岁的身材。
一旦看过这些模糊的却令人振奋的虚构及特写，读者马上就看到结尾她美梦的另一面。
为了保持完美身材，这些母亲不得不用带子把自己束缚住，这是她们不得不在睡觉前佩戴的枕颌带，那是她们的万能药膏，这是她们的泻药，这是她们溶解脂肪的药片，那是她们永葆青春的激素，这是她们掩盖静脉曲张时要穿的长袜。
很明显，没人会很痴狂地完全相信书上的诗情画意或被给出的处方啊整形外科啊完全说服，但每年还是有人有意花上亿去尝试买梦。

Unit 9 What Is HappinessKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI.AII.1. T;2. F;3. F;4. T;5. F.III.1. He means that one is given the right to pursue happiness, but does not know what it is.2. Because he believes that commercial advertising not only fails to satisfy our desires, but more importantly it creates them, and it creates them faster than any man’s budget can satisfy them. Such insatiability makes people unhappy.3. Because he thinks that the products and pursuits advertised on the front pages of women’s magazines are dreamlike and can’t be fulfilled.4. He set two extremes according to Thoreau, the low level and the high level. The former refers to possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood, whil e the latter refers to active discipline of heightening one’s perception of what is enduring in nature. To find balance is to save time and effort on the low levels and spend on the high.5. The inherent right is not happiness itself, but lies in the pursuit of happiness, in the pursuit of what is life-engaging and life-revealing, i.e. in the idea of becoming.IV.1. Jonathan Swift seemed to share this view when he criticized this idea of happiness as the state of being completely controlled by deception …2. The active exercise or training to improve one’s understanding of what is of lasting value would have been Thoreau’s idea of the high levels, i.e. spiritual happiness. Structural analysis of the textPart 1 (Para. 1, 2): The author points out that when we are not sure what happiness is, we tend to be misled by the idea that we can buy our way to it.Part 2 (Para. 3, 4, 5, 6): The author offers a number of examples to show how this misconception of happiness gives rise to the “happiness-market” in a highl y commercialized society (the United States).Part 3 (Para. 7, 8, 9): The author suggests striking a balance between what Thoreau called the low levels and the high levels.Part 4 (Para. 10): The author gives his understanding of happiness, in the light of the Founding Fathers’ belief that it is “in the idea of becoming”.VocabularyI. Phrase1. un-American: not typical of the attitudes, ways of life, etc., that are approved of or considered normal in the US2. commercialism: the activities or attitudes of people who think that making a profit is moreimportant than anything else; emphasis on the maximizing of profit 商业主义3. for that matter: it is also true that … (The phrase “for that matter” is used to emphasize that sth., though mentioned second, is also true, important, or relevant as what has been mentioned earlier.) 就此而论，在这方面, 同样4. face: aspect 方面5. in nature: essentially 事实上，本质上II.1. perpetual;2. functions;3. inherent;4. cited;5. approaching;6. flawless;7. vaguely;8. disciplining.III.

大学英语2口语题目+答案
《大学英语2》Unit 1 Love1.Talk about some people you love.2.Motherly love and fatherly love.Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any expectation. Fatherly love is conditional love. Its principle is "I love you because you fulfill my expectations, because you do your duty, because you are like me."3.The right way to show love for children.First, it is certain to give your child enough food and cloth. But you should never give him or her very expensive food and cloth. As you know, it is not true that the more expensive food your child eating, the more useful nutrition you child absorbing. The right way is you should let you child eat variable food. The nutrition value is not related to the price of food. In the same time, you should let your child know it is not easy to own money to buy all the things. Parents have to pay a lot of hard work. So wasting any kinds of food is forbidden. Second, you should pay much more love to your child. You may always tell him or her you love him deeply. You should never hit them when some thing is wrong with you children. The right way is to tell them why they are wrong and where they are wrong.Third, pay more time with your child is much more important than anything else. Your children need you play with them and learn together. When you are beside them, they may feel safe and happy. Do not let them feel lonely even if you are very buy. When you stay with them, you may discover that life is happy and beautiful.4.Is marriage the tomb of love.Unit 2 Communication problems5.In what ways are men and women different in communication.Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words.Women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and use various superlatives,metaphors,and generalizations.Men commonly react in an unsupportive manner,because they mistakenly take these expressions literally.6.Causes of misunderstandings.Ways to avoid them.If a man really understood a woman’s complaint,then he would argue less and be able to respond more positively.When men and women are on the verge of arguing,they generally misunderstand each other.At such times,it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.7.Generation gap and its solution.Since world came into existence, there is always a generation gap fight between elders and youngsters. They both have their own beliefs, customs and way to live their life. It becomes very sturdy when both think they are right and no one gets ready to change. Generation gap is very problematic because, it breaks many family and youngsters loses respect for eldersThe main factor which can resolve this generation gap is to understand other’s feelings. Elders should keep their ego on side and understand that world changes very fast and only fittest cansurvive. If youngsters want to choose their career at least elders should give them a chance. Youngster want reasons for all customs, elders are forcing them to follow. If elders have genuine reasons for following customs, then youngsters should do it, this will make your parents happy. Parents say no for dating, live-in relations and dressing sense, especially to girls because many suffered and exploited. Many guys died because they are very cool and go for adventurous trips. If parents are saying something good, youngsters should follow.8.How to increase communication in family.Engage your brain before you open your mouth, and ask yourself if anyone will really be served by what you are about to say.Be generous with appreciation and acknowledge good behavior openly.If you are a parent and you want to make sure your child is hearing what you are saying, active listening is the remedy.The more important the information being communicated, the more we need to slow down, taking time to make sure that the message we are sending is the same one that our loved one is receiving.Unit 3 Born to win9.The meaning of winning to you.Do you regard yourself as a winner?In my opinion, I think the meaning of winning consists of four parts: much knowledge, real happiness, richness, good society position.10.Great winner in your eyes.In my opinion, winning means trying one’s best to achieve the goal which he has set up. Maybe a winner is not the first , but he must be the one who carries on to the final. Take an example ,Dr Albert Schweitzer who received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of "reverence for life". It was expressed in many ways ,but most famously in his more than 50 years of work in Africa. At the age of 30, he learned that Gabon was calling for a doctor for missionary work . At that time he had owned a great reputation in philosopher theology and music , however he answered the call and re-entered the university to study for eight years towards the degree of a Medical Doctor .In 1913 ,he and his wife established a hospital in Gabon and serviced there until his death.11.Things that help one win and things that make one lose.A winner has the ability to propose solutions to a problem, or to stick it out until a solution is found. A loser spends a lot of time worrying about the problem and why it can't be solved instead of working to find a solution. A winner has the ability to adapt to rapidly changing scenarios while a loser often expect things to go exactly as they envisioned it. A winner has the fortitude to see through the issue and to prepare for a challenge while a loser simply gives up without even making a good effort.Unit5 Dreams12.Say anything that you know about night dreams.We dream for most of the night,but we’re only able to remember our dreams if we happen to wake up while we are stil in Rapid Eye Movement.13.Share with others any of your dreams.Unit 6 Food14.Food and drink you like and dislike.I like chicken,beef, fish, vegetables,ice-cream,milk,banana,orange…I don’t like ginger, Coriander,ˈkɔ:ri:ˌændə,Chocolates…15.What helps to develop the eating habit?1.keep a sober mind.ready to tell youself you are gonna eat everything that are required cause they're helpful,nutritious and can sometimes be delicious!2.to have a little change in your taste.try to accept the taste that the food has and adjust to it,it's beyond peradventure that you will finally get used to,or even love it!3. read more books about this stuff,learn something connected with nutrition.then you will start eating those natually even without supervision cause you've know its precious function and feel your body yearning them16.Attitudes toward western fast food.Western fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.It is economical and convenient. When you go into a western fast food restaurant for meal, your food will be ready in a minute.And the environment is comfortable.Futhermore,it tastes so delicious that many kids like to eat.However, western fast food isn’t healthy enough.First, it contains too much fat,salt,and sugar. Second,hydrogenated oils leads to chronic diseases.Third,it does n’t compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Which damage children's intelligence.All in all,western fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we should eat nutritious foods.17.Problems with food.In addition to human use of food additives, chemical hormone and excessive use of fertilizers, pesticides and other active pollution, environment also bring a big trouble of food safety problemUnit 7 Culture18.Should we do in Rome asRomans do?Your opinion about cultural diversity.19.Your opinion about Chinese people celebrating western festivals.20.Taboos in China,including those concerning gift-giving,dressing,eating,speech,behavior,etc. Unit8 Money21.Money,the root of all evils or the source of happiness?In my opinion of view, it’s not nece ssary to require everyone doing what Romans do while they are in Rome.But it’s a action that can be encouraged.In spite of the truth that everyone can hold their brief which should be respectedand understood, we are supposed to take it easy. What we do as Romans just as a consequence that we are in Rome and we pretend to be real Romans. People should be happy and enjoy this kind of precious experience.Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures. For example, before Hawaii was conquered by Europeans, the culturally diverse Hawaiian culture existed in the world, and contributed to the world's cultural diversity. Now Hawaii has been westernized; the vast majority of its culture has been replaced with Western or American culture. The phrase cultural diversity can also refer to having different cultures respect each other's differences.The phrase cultural diversity is sometime misused to mean the variety of human societies or cultures in a specific region, or in the world as a whole; but these phenomenon are multiculturalism rather than cultural diversity. The culturally destructive action of globalization is often said to have a negative effect on the world's cultural diversity.As a generation of one culture,people needs to take this responsibility to make it alive in the world.It means a lot for human beings.22.Three things you would do if you had 100,000U.S.dollars now?If I had 100,000 U.S. dollars now, I would do three things. First, I would go to a trip with my parents. We can travel around the whole country and have a good sightseeing. Second, I want to spend some money eating different kinds of delicious food. Thild, I will use the spare money to make a donation for some poor areas. Well, I want to help lotsof children and make them go to school.What's more, I believe I will very happy and my life will become more meaningful!23.Should children be paid for doing housework?I suppose the children should be paid for doing houseworkbut the frequency should be limit.Paying for doing housework,the children could realizedthat how difficult to earn money.The purpose of reward because of the labour is thatchildren will aware they can not dependence upon their parents all the time but should create their life by their own handsBut if give money to children too frequent it willlose its originaly mean.besides it also can promote the enmotion betweenfamily members24.Is a high salary the most important feature of a job?now there is a heat-discussion topic about the value of job.A new a diea is that heigh salary determines the job for the reason that citzen feel huge economic pressure form society.The expenses of life in large-scale city is large especially. in addition ,most of chinese people measure people through the quantity of wealth instead of the inside morality of person. what's worse ,many children worship wealth blindly ,as a result of that ,their parents become more attach important of the salary.In essence,no one will refuse the high salary,earn more monery also show their capacities.howere,on the other hand,others support whether job can improve one's ability and personal relationships is most important feature of a job rather than salary.Initially,the general quantity of person is the key feature of one's career,which could not be improved by high salary but a valuable job.following this ,no one would be happy at the mercy of money,although everyone love it's strong st and the most important ,the value of life can't be measured by the money,we chose job not only focusing on the salary but also many other features like interests,capacity,meanful and so on.in the fina conclusion,as far as a job is concerned,the salary is a ciginificant facture but not the most important feature .Unit 9 Shopping25.Aspects you consider when you make a buying decision.Quality,price,service26.Few expensive clothes or many inexpensive clothes?We're now at a period that want to be noticed.We're young and hope our lives to be colorful.Nice-looking clothes are perfect things that can help us become more attractive.Everyone wants to have some world-famous brand's expensive clothes.Those fancy clothes are quite fascinating.However,the reality is,we as students do not have enough money to purchase many of these expensive clothes,sometimes we can't even afford one.What we can afford are those inexpensive ordinary brand's clothes.But as a matter of fact these inexpensive are not alwaysbad-looking or in poor condition,not at all.On the contrary,inexpensive clothes provide us more choices.For their lower price,we can buy several clothes at one time instead of just pick one expensive clothes.Also,as a student from ordinary family,cheap clothes make my life a lot easier,since I don't need to save money for a long time to buy clothes,and worried about them being damaged.So as far as I'm concern,maybe many inexpensive clothes is a better idea,it can rich our lifestyle.But it's not a bad ideafor those whom choose to buy few expensive clothes,they can enjoy the unique design and good quality of these fancy clothes.27.Different shopping habits between men and women.Men and women's shopping habits have many different.First,Girls like shopping and girls just to see what I like very much ,they will buy.But boys love a simple shopping and leave out shoppingwith a program.Then,boys is to buy things,bought directly home.Boys don't waste more timespent on shopping.And the girls are opposite,shopping is not only for shopping,do you want to buy something is not important, the key is recreation,and to satisfy his little vanity.The boys clothes focus on quality, simple style can show the boys mature charm, too fancy styles seemfrivolous.The difference between a man and a woman to bargain, men are either not bargain, or speak up finish, finally tired mouth parched and tongue scorched, price is not to say; not the same as a woman, the woman often get the point, just a few words about a lot of price.And most importantly, the girls shopping in general are boys pay, while boys are paid for it --a key,so many boys hate shopping.28.Online shopping:benefits and problems.Up till now,online shopping has become fashionable .There are both benifits and problems about online shopping.On the one hand ,online shopping can sare some money .people don't need to go out to buy things. sometimes an amount of peoplegather together to buy one things through the Internet can save more money .the price is very satisfyirg .and it doesn't cost too much time online shopping can buy some new arrival things .On the other hand ,there are many disadvantages about online shopping .for example, there are some fake websites that cheat costumers. and sell bad things,paying check online has many problems.In my opinion,there are both good and bad .so we should be careful about it.Unit 10 Emotions and health29.The meaning of good health.Secrets of keeping healthy.Health refers not only to a person without disease or weak, but refers to a person's physical, mental and social well-being.Diet,exercise, STRESS MANAGEMENT SLEEPSUBSTANCE ABUSE30.Emotions and habits harmful to health.the habits is harm to health:not to eat breakfast every day;not to get regular medical care;not to sleep seven to eight hours daily;not to take regular exercises,take no exercise at all;not rarely to eat between meals,eat much more than he should,eat little,drinking more,have a bad diet;smoking:studies have long shown that people who don't smoke live longer than people who do and scientists have seen the correlation between smoking and incidences of lung cancer since the 1950s.do exercise... runing 5 miles every dayswimming 3 times a weekplay basketball,football,tennis...many times a week31.Advice on dealing with such bad emotions asloneliness,sadness,frustration,anger,despair,disappointment,etc.To better control their emotions is the best way to life and more exercise, exercise their own will power.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one.Passage OneWhen the terrorist attack on September 11th caused people to flee the building, AvremelZelmanowitz risked his own chance of escape by staying behind with his friend and colleague, Ed Beyea, who was Confined to a wheelchair due to a paralysis (瘫痪). Both men lost their lives, but the stray of Avremel’s love and devotion to his friend conveys a life-giving message to all.Avremel never married, and he shared a house with his brother and his family. He was a loving uncle to his brother's children; and he was devoted to caring for his aging parents. He was a “family man” in every sense of the word. At the same time, he had his own life, his varied interests, and a job and friends.When the tragedy occurred, Avremel was age 55, and his friend, Ed Beyea, was age 42. Ed became disabled after a diving accident at age 22, but he managed to work 14 years at Blue Cross since his injury. Both he and Avremel were program analysts who worked on the 27th floor of World Trade Center.They both loved books and music, and they both served as the special uncle of their respective families. Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father figure to his two nephews after their father died.On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until he could be securely carried down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability to be moved. Avremel wouldn't allow his friend to wait alone when everyone else was fleeing the building, and he stayed with him.In the days that followed, the media learned about Awremel’s selfless act, and the story began to spread. President Bush, in his national prayer address to the American people, referred to Avremel’s act as one of the many “outstanding acts of sacrifice” that were demonstrated by Americans during this crisis.16. What happened to Avremel and Ed during the 9.11 terrorist attack?（） [单选题] *A. Avremel rescued Ed at tile cost of his life.B. Both Avremel and Ed gave up their chance of escape.C. Avremel stayed with Ed and both lost their lives.(正确答案)D. Both Avremel and Ed were finally rescued.17. What were the similarities between the two men?（） [单选题] *A. Both of them loved hooks and music.(正确答案)B. Both of them were in their 50s.C. Both of them were disabled.D. Both lived with their brother's families.18. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（） [单选题] *A. Avremel took care of Ed's life after work.B. Avremel liked diving when he was young.C. Ed treated his nephews as his own children.D. Ed became disabled after a driving accident.(正确答案)19. Why did Avremel choose to stay when others were fleeing the building?（） [单选题] *A. Because he expected the rescuers to help him.B. Because he tried to carry Ed downstairs.C. Because he thought it was safer to stay inside.D. Because he didn’t want to leave Ed behind.(正确答案)20. The word “address” in the last paragraph means ______.（） [单选题] *A. solutionB. speech(正确答案)C. informationD. titlePassage TwoWhat you’ve always heard? We're eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.The headlines now? It's time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person's diet comes from those sources, not from the saltshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly murky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food—and the results have pointed in every direction. Some studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems. What’s needed, Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机的) , controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. It's the only way to get a reliable answer, but it’s never been done.So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce. Those changes will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control it with drugs and lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, there’s no convincing reason for you to count every grain.21. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake ______.（） [单选题] *A. is within the healthy rangeB. is a bit over the upper limitC. is far beyond what is necessary(正确答案)D. is well below the lower limit22.

As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure ______. （） [单选题] *A should consider a change of their lifestyleB. have every reason to be careful about sodiumC. will not be affected by the amount of sodium takenD. do not have to take sodium too seriously(正确答案)Passage ThreeThere is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales (大捆) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr. Brush has many defenders—among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council’s code committee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school inMaryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr. Eisenberg observes, “the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn't to avoid straw. It’s that you don’t let a pig build your house.”26. By “the cards were stacked against Warren Brush”, the author means that Brash______.（） [单选题] *A. received punishmentB. made a breakthroughC. would be in trouble(正确答案)D. might win a prize27.

It can be learned from the last paragraph that California ______.（） [单选题] *A. will fine Warren Brush as plannedB. will reduce the fine on Warren BrushC. may consider a heavier fine on Warren BrushD. may not fine Warren Brash(正确答案)30. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ______.（） [单选题] *A. show that straw can be used to build housesB. highlight the prejudice against straw houses(正确答案)C. explain how to build a house with strawD. introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations manager the other day about “The Game Trainers” and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children, he told me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these “serious people with serious jobs” could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow more freely through “games”.His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a “game” is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what “work” must look like for it to be considered of value. It's not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful companies of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun，creativity andinnovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, it’s a good thing that they are “serious people with serious jobs”, because we also are extremely serious about play, and in today’s environment they simply cannot afford not to play games.31.
