五、完形填空（课外）
六、英译中(长短适中，内容相对完整篇)
1、And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'.
这样，我的履历上没有留下犯罪的记录。

但当时最令人震惊的，是那些显然导致宣布我无罪的证据。

我讲话的口音“表明我受过良好教养”，到庭的有体面的中产阶级的双亲，有可靠的证人，还有，我显然请得起一名很好的律师。

从对我指控的这种捕风捉影的做法来看，我肯定，如果我出身在另一种背景的家庭里，并且真的是失了业的话，我完全可能被判有罪。

当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时，他公然把辩护的证据建立在我“学业优异”这一事实上。

2、Something was definitely happening here. It was messier than a food fight and much more important than whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable. My kids were doing what Copernicus did when he placed the sun at the center of the universe, readjusting the centuries-old paradigm of an Earth-centered system. They were doing what Reuben Mattus did when he renamed his Bronx ice cream Haagen-Dazs and raised the price without changing the product. They were doing what Edward Jenner did when he discovered a vaccination for smallpox by abandoning his quest for a cure.
毫无疑问，这里正发生着什么事儿。

这事儿比争抢食物还乱，比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜还要重要。

哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心，重新调整了地心说这一长达数世纪的范式，我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年所做的事。

鲁宾·马修斯把他的布朗克斯冰激凌改名为哈根达斯，在不变换产品的情况下提高了价格，我的孩子们正在做着鲁宾·马修斯所做过的事。

爱德华·詹纳放弃了寻找治疗天花的特效药，从而发现了能预防这一疾病的疫苗，我的孩子们正做着爱德华·詹纳所做过的事。

3、These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe. A "promotion" out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking question like, "What is the point of being rich?" And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power matters? But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher's life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better. I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.
这些在我眼前成长、变化的人，便是我要当教师的真正原因。

当一名教师意味着是创造的见证人，他目睹人体开始呼吸，开始了生命
“提升了”，不再教书了，也许会给我带来金钱和权力。

可是我现在也有钱c我拿了薪金去做自己乐意做的事：读书、交谈、提问，比如问：“做个富翁有什么意思呢？”
我现在还有权呢。

我有权启迪，有权激发才智9有权开出书目，有权指矽支迷津。

还有其他什么权力更值得考虑呢？
但教书还会带来金钱和权力以外的东西：那便是爱。

不仅是爱学习、爱书本、爱思想，而且还有老师对出类拔萃的学生的爱。

这样的学生走进了老师的生活，自己也开始成长了。

爱这个字也许用得不恰当：说是魔力可能更为贴切。

我教书，是因为与开始戚长的学生朝夕相处，我有时感到自己也和他们一起开始成长了。

8、Now picture yourself —— as vividly as possible ——the way you want to be. Remember to picture your desired goals as if you had already attained them. Go over all the details of this picture. See them clearly and sharply. Impress them strongly on your memory. The resulting memory traces will supposedly start affecting your everyday life. They will help lead you to the attainment to your goals. Of course daydreaming is no substitute for hard work. If it's athletic achievement you want, you also have to get lots of practice in your sport. You have to work hard to develop skills. If it's school success you're after, you can't neglect studying Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire. But in combination with the more usual methods of self-development, it might make a critical difference. It could be the difference between becoming merely good at something and becoming a champion.
现在你就来尽可能生动地按你所希望的那样想象一下你自己吧。

记住将你想达到的回标想象成似乎你已达到了。

仔细琢磨一番这一图象的全部细节。

每一个细节都要看得清楚、明晰。

将这些细节深深地刻印在你的记忆里。

这样生成的记忆痕，据信会影响你的日常生活。

它们将帮助把你引向你要达到的目标。

当然，白日做梦绝不能代替艰苦的努力。

如果你要在运动上有所成就，你还得进行大量的练习。

你得努力提高技术。

如果你要学业优异，你绝不能忽视学习。

单是白日做梦不能使你功成名就，如愿以偿。

但与较为通常的自我提高的方法结合起来9它就有可能起关键性的作用。

是仅仅干得好一些，还是成为冠军，其差别往往在此一举。

10、It took only fifty-eight years, however, to go four times that fast, so that by 1938 men in airplanes were traveling at better than 400 mph. It took a mere twenty-year flick of time to double the limit again. And by the 1960's rocket plants approached speeds of 4,00 mph. and men in space capsules were circling the earth at 18,000 mph. Whether we examine distances traveled,
altitudes reached, or minerals mined, the same accelerative trend is obvious. The pattern, here and in a thousand other statistical series, is absolutely clear and unmistakable. Thousands of years go by, and then, in our won times, a sudden bursting of the limits, a fantastic spurt forward. 然而，此后只用58年，就把这一速度提高到原先的4倍。

到1938年，人们乘坐飞机旅行，时速超过400英里。

后来，只用了20年瞬息功夫，这个速度就又翻了一番。

到了20世纪60年代，火箭飞机的时速接近4千英里，而人们乘坐宇宙飞船则以1万8千英里的时速绕地球运行。

我们无论是考察旅行的距离，达到的高度，还是考察矿产的开采，这样一种加速的趋向都是显而易见的。

这里，以及其它上千种的系统的统计资料里，都明白无误地呈现出这种模式。

数千年过去了，然后，到了我们的时代，一切极限突然统统被打破，出现了不可思议的突飞猛进。

迅速方便地获得信息是很重要，但学会以新的方式看信息甚至更为重要。

医学上一次重大突破也许能说明这一观点。

科学家本想寻找一种治天花的特效药，但他们没有成功。

英国医生爱德华·詹纳放弃寻找特效药，而是通过找到一种预防天花的办法征服了这一疾病。

显然，是创造性思维使他的工作获得巨大收获。

总之，记住下面这句话肯定大有裨益：有多种方法可以用来看待你下载的大量资料。

It is important to have easy and quick access to information, but it is even more important to learn to look at / view information in new ways. A major medical breakthrough may illustrate the point. Scientists had intended to find a cure for smallpox, but they got nowhere. Edward Jenner, a British physician, abandoned the quest for a cure and conquered the disease by finding a way to prevent it. Obviously, it was creative thinking that led to his fruitful work. In short, it definitely pays to keep this in mind: there is more than one way to look at / view volumes of data you download.
