2013级本科《大学英语》复习资料答案

2013级本科《大学英语》复习资料答案Part One: Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Hyperinflation (极度通货膨胀) is defined as an economic condition during which there is a steep increase in prices. In accordance with the laws of economics, three factors combine to create this condition. First, demand must be much greater than the supply of available goods. Second, the country must continuously create and thereby build up an ever increasing supply of money. Third, the governmental processes that are used to collect taxes must be crippled. Let’s imagine a country where production is barely accomplishing its goal to keep up with demand. When this happens, the government should decrease the salaries of the workers by raising taxes. But the government is powerless to collect the taxes, so it prints more money to compensate for (补偿) the goods it must purchase. This new money goes to the workers who produced the goods: as a result, the people are forced to give up certain things for a while—they actually become richer. While this might appear to be a positive step, it is actually regressive. Every month the government is forced to print more and more money, thereby increasing its liabilities(债务) until it is destroyed. The only way to prevent total economic collapse in such a situation is for the government to increase taxes in a manner that is characterized by impartiality(公正) to everyone involved.1.Which of the following might occur during hyperinflation?A. A slight increase in prices.B.Rapid growth of economic.C.Decrease of worker’s salary.D.Soaring prices.2.The author states that during hyperinflation_______________.A. goods appear to be overabundantB. the country has to supply more moneyC. government may become richer by collecting more taxesD. people are forced to give up certain things3. The passage implies that _____________.A. hyperinflation is just a passing phase in the economic developmentB. people could benefit a lot from hyperinflationC. hyperinflation is used by a government to raise taxesD. hyperinflation may cause the downfall of a government4. The word “regressive” probably means___________.A. harmfulB. negativeC. going backD. progressive5. The tone of the author can be said to be___________.A. seriousB. mildC. subjectiveD. objectivePassage 2Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose ofeducating them. Our purpose is for life.In some modern countries, it has been fashionable to think that by free education for all--- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think “low” work. In fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we would die if we have no food. If no one cleaned out streets and moved the rubbish away our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.6. The author of this passage thinks that ______.A. education can settle all of the world’s problem s.B. free education won’t help to solve social problems.C. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldD. all the social problems can’t be solved by education7. The author wants to prove that ______.A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professorD. people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work8. One can learn from the passage _______.A. work with hands is dirty and shameful workB. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most importantD. we can’t regard work with hands as low work9. The purpose of education is ______.A. to choose the system of educationB. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to build a perfect worldD. to let everyone receive education fit for him10. The passage mainly tells us about ______ of education.A. the meansB. the systemC. the valueD. the typePassage 3Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant---works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket---fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little saving. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail---lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.11. According to the passage, by looking into the differences of people, you will_____.A. know different ways of saving moneyB. find people’s different ways of managing their financesC. easily set up your value systemsD. easily change your value system12. Value system_____.A. is a set of our own values or beliefsB. is the way we look after our moneyC. will not change later in timeD. is belief of how to manage our finances13. People who live like ants_____.A. will store food in summer for winterB. don’t enjoy their workingC. may enjoy lift when they get old and retireD. love saving money instead of making investment14. Which of the following is true?A. the crickets always think they have no futureB. the crickets borrow money because they would like to enjoy everything nowC. the snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford it.D. the snails enjoy life because they have luxurious houses.15. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is_____.A. to state that we are the same as animalsB. to make fun of the three kinds of foolish peopleC. to make us understand we should spend our own moneyD. to make us understand the differences of people and manage our money betterPassage 4Stories of a mysterious island called Atlantis date from around 400 BC. Ever since then, people have been searching all over the world for it.It was Plate, a Greek philosopher, who first wrote about the long-lost civilization. He said that more than 9000 years before, Atlantis had been a great and wealthy nation. He described Atlantis as a beautiful place where all the people were happy. Herds of elephants and horses lived on the island. There was enough money and food for everyone, and the people spent their time building temples and gardens. Sadly for the people ofAtlantis, this happy life did not last forever. Plato described how a huge earthquake destroyed the island, the following flood covered it with water and Atlantis disappeared beneath the sea.It is an Amazing story of a beautiful city hidden for thousands of years beneath the sea. Unfortunately, apart from Plate’s writing, there is no evidence to suggest that Atlantis ever existed.

2013年3月公共英语三级真题及解析

2013年3月公共英语三级真题及解析Sandy Simonson:The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Con-sequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We' ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they' ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible.Bridget Boyle :Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television wasthe best thing we ever did.Deborah Curtin:Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course, there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have.Alan Holman:I don' t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to bc produced at my high school. And I' m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it' s actually getting mc somewhere. So marks aren't everything.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.StatementsA．Grades cannot fully reflect the whole picture of a student.B．Try your best to make your children habitual readers.C．Tolerant parents are sure to shape successful children.D．Parents' encouragement helps to improve children' s performance at school.E．Schooling is very different from educating.F．Good students are actually not made but born.G．Students cannot become better at school unless theyare self-driven.61、Charles Swecker62、Sandy Simonson63、Bridget Boyle64、Deborah Curtin65、Alan HolmanSECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)66、You have read the following notice about a lost handbag.

M: Good evening. My name is Tom Smith, may I know your name?W: My name is Mary Class on.M: Mary, would you care to dance?W: I' d love to, but I have to be off with something important to do.2. M: We' d better start to eat onions frequently, Linda.W: But you hate onions, don't you?M: Until I learned from a report from today' s paper that they protect people from flu and colds. After all, compared with health, taste is not so important.3. W: When do you think that I can go home, Doctor Smith?M: Well, you came in on Monday and today is Friday. I say that you could probably leave tomorrow. But you should stay at home and not go back to work too soon.4. M: Laura, I ran into David today.W: Really? Did he say anything about his sister?M: Yes. She should be leaving London very soon because her husband has taken a job in Paris.5. M : Do you have a driver' s license?W: No. I am going to take the test in a couple of weeks.M: Didn't you drive in your own country?W: Yes.

Where was I?W: You were talking about your trip to South Africa.I bet you had a great time.M: Yes, we did. In fact, you know what we en-countered.W: A long-last friend?M: Come on ! A lion.7. W: When do you usually go to the bank, John?M: Anytime I have to. Why did you ask?W: You' d better avoid Friday mornings. I' m reading an interesting book these days. And it says most robberies happen on Friday mornings.8. W : What do you think of your father?M: Oh, he was the first stable male figure in my life. The best attribute a parent can have is con-sistency. When he said he would be there at 3 o'clock, he was there. That meant more to me than anything.9. M: How do you like your new room, Jane?W: It' s not big; the rent is high. And I' m far away from work. But I enjoy myself very much.M : Why?W : I am able to get rid of that annoying roommate at last.10. M: Our flight will be delayed by 6 hours. That means it won' t be leaving until 3:30 in the afternoon.W: What shall we do in the meantime?M: Let' s find some seats in the quiet part of the terminal to take a nap.W: Good idea. I am pretty tired.Part BQuestions 11 ~ 13W: Wow, look at the line. It' s worse than I expected. We are lucky we got here an hour earlier. Or else we will definitely have had problems getting tickets. I'm glad we made the effort to come early.M: Me too. I learned my lesson the last time I went to a new film. I didn' t arrive early enough and ended up with a terrible seat all the way in the front row. Believe me, it was one of the worst movie experiences ever.W: Yeah. I hate sitting in the first row.M: By the way, it was really nice of you to get this ticket for me. Why don' t I show you a bit of appreciation by gettingyou a drink?W: That would be great.M: OK. What kind of soda do you want?W : Let me see. I' ll take a large coke. Thanks a lot.M: I' d better get going. You hold my place and I' ll be back really quick. Oh, I almost forget. I' d better hold on to my ticket in case you get let in before I get back. If that happens, just save me a seat and I'll meet you inside.W: OK. It' s a plan.Questions 14 ~ 17W: You two are quite different. How did your company put you two together as a team?M: At first, they wanted to hear our harmony. We sang to them and they really liked to. So they decided that it would be best to put us together as a group.W: What are some of the distinctive features of your music?M: We have a variety of different songs; we have four different styles: soft rock, slow music, love songs and country music. But we are most at home with soft rock. I really like our voices merged together and I like how it sounds. Actually, there is a song called Studying. Our company really likes the song because it represents our voice.W: What would you like to bring to the audience through your music?M : I' d like to recommend our first song to everyone. The name of the song is Believe. The main idea we want to share is that we want to tell everyone you have to believe in yourself before people can believe in you. Actually we want to bring our music to everyone and make everyone happy. Music is something all around you. You can listen to music and you can feel what the music says.Questions 18 ～21W: I don' t think Poppas is right for this position.M: I agree. He' s got experience as a computer operator but he has very little training in programming. What about Anderson?W: I like him. He seems very enthusiastic and he knows a lot about programming.M: That' s true. Do you think he is dependable enough, though? He' s already had two different jobs this year. He might work for a couple of months and then decide to leave.W: I suppose so. But his last supervisor wrote a three-page letter of recommendation. He says Anderson is an excellent programmer.M: He probably is. But we don' t want him to leave after we' ve spent a lot of time training him. Actually, I think Logan is the best candidate.W: She hash' t worked since she got married, hash' t she ?M: She' s been taking care of her family. But she is really devoted.W: Oh, yes. The letter from her principal says she did a wonderful job. Do you think she' ll be a good programmer?M: I bet she will. She has an excellent letter of recommendation from her teacher at the institute she attended.W: That' s true.M: And Logan seems more professional. She was well-dressed and seemed to have a very positive attitude about working for us.Questions 22 ～25M: Well, what do you think is the reason most people do so badly at reaching goals?W: They lose focus. Everybody' s life is busy. There is so much happening in everybody' s life. That what happens is they might have a goal and then something will get in the way of that. Maybe their goal is that they want to go on a holiday every year and they put in their leave form with their boss and their boss may ask them to wait for another month and then for another month. That is, so different things get in their way and people don' t stand up for their goals. They don' t struggle for them. They let other forces push them around a little bit. Also, a lot of people don' t set goals ; they think they do. But it' s either a dream of very loose goal. So when they have to make a decision about a necessary action in their life the goal is so far back in their mind that they don' t act in its best interest. Also because people will sit down and say "oh, here are my goals" and forget all about them. Revisiting them every week is a good way. They stay at the top of your mind so you can take actions based on them.第二部分英语知识运用第一节单项填空参考译文我不知道为什么英国的酒吧让我感到失望，毕竟酒吧是英国男性最喜欢的聚会场所，在那里，他们可以和朋友聚会，一起喝啤酒、讨论足球或者赛马，抑或谈生意或者任何他们脑子里想的事情。

They are men and women recogniz ed for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures ico ns and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death –such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. （263 words）31. The passage mainly deals with _______.(C )A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebrities32. Heroes and heroines are usually _______. (D )A. courageousB. good example to followC. self-sacrificingD. all of the above33. Which of the following statements is wrong?(D )A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.34. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______. (C )A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her deathD. after she gave birth to a prince35. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?(B )A. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one’s story.Passage 2 害羞（腼腆）是很多人不愉快的一个原因Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, th e way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people ar e very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―You’re just sayi ng that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear th at while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easie r it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. （309 words）36. What does the author try to prove by citing ―what kind of impression am I making?‖(B )A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.37. According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.(A )A. a good qualityB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a weak point of shy people38. When being praised, shy people feel that it is _______. (B )A. goodB. unrealC. very reasonableD. harmful39. Which of the following statements is true according tothe passage? (C )A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.40. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.(B )A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage ThreeWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is ―no‖. It is not the tools a scientist uses but h ow he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to manyquestions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observesin a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. （263 words）41. What makes a scientist according to the passage? (B )A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His way of learning.D. The various tools he uses.42. ―The scientist, however, goes one step further…‖. The author says this to show _______.(C )A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs43. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.(A )A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement44. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.(C )A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations45. What is the main idea of the passage?(D )A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Passage 4 美国人崇尚自我奋斗者（白手起家的人）A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man —the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easilyassembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. （290 words）46. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.(A )A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors47. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.(B )A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food48. The expression ―wait on table‖ in the second paragraph means ―_______‖.(D )A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant49. The author’s attitude towards manual（体力的）labor is _______.(A)A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. critical50. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?(B )A. A Respectable Self-made Family.B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.C. Characteristics of American Culture.D. The Development of Manual Labor.IV. 阅读课文Unit 5精读课文，选择适当介词填空by until about of for in instead of51. Old age, I decided, is also a gift.

现代大学英语听力3原文及答案unit4

Unit 4Task 1【答案】A.1) They are farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh.2) It’s a farm that grow plants and flowers to sell.3) They protect the plants from the cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light, so the plants can be grown all through the year.B.1) canned, frozen2) flowers, garden plants, home gardens, yards, window boxes3) buildings, furniture, firewood【原文】Grain, vegetables and fruits are found on most farms. All of them are food for animals and people.Grain can be fed to animals just as it is harvested. But before people use them grains are usually made into flour or breakfast cereal. Bread, macaroni, and cereals all come from grain.Tomatoes, beans, potatoes, beets, lettuce, carrots and onions are field and garden vegetables. Can you think of any others? Vegetables are good for people and for some animals such as pigs and rabbits.Farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh are called truck farms. Truck farms are usually close to big cities. Each day hundreds of loads of fresh vegetables are brought to stores on the farmers' trucks. Without the truck farmers people in cities would not eat well. And without city people who eat fresh vegetables, the truck farmers would have no work.There are many kinds of fruit. Apples, pears, peaches, cherries, oranges, grapefruit, and berries are a few kinds. You will be able to think of other kinds that you like. Most fruit is grown on specialized farms. But many general farms have some fruit to use and sell also.Like vegetables, fruit is sold fresh in markets. But a large part of both fruit and vegetable crops is sent to factories to be canned or frozen.In warm parts of our country farmers grow cotton, rice, tobacco, sugar cane, and peanuts.Specialized farms raise flowers and garden plants. They are sold to florists and to families for home gardens, or yards, or window boxes. A farm that grow plants and flowers to sell is called a nursery. Most nurseries have glass buildings, called hothouses or greenhouses. The hothouses are heated to protect the plants from cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light, so they can be grown all through the year.Some farms grow only trees. Some of these are Christmas tree farms. Others are large forests where trees are grown for their wood. The wood is used for buildings, furniture and firewood. Some tree farms grow only nut trees.Task 2【答案】A.Problems Concerned The safety of some pesticides used to kill insects, especiallyin developing countries:1.poor quality pesticides, which often contain harmfulchemicals2.the poor quality of pesticide containers and productinformation on the containersAdvantages of Pesticides 1.pesticides kill insects and other organisms that threatenarops.2.pesticides also are used for public health. They controlinsects that spread disease, such as mosquitoes that spread malaria.Possible Causes ofLow QualityPesticidesProduction problems and failure to use the right chemicals.B.1) The UN agencies report that the market value of pesticides in developing countries last year was about three thousand million dollars.2) The agencies called for worldwide acceptance of Food and Agriculture and World Health Organization pesticide rules. They say this would help guarantee the safe production of and trade in pesticides.【原文】Two United Nations agencies are expressing concern about the safety of some pesticides used to kill insects. They report that about thirty percent of all pesticides sold in developing countries fail to meet widely accepted rules for quality. They say these products are a serious threat to human health and the environment.The UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization gave the warning.In developing countries, pesticides are used mainly for agriculture. Pesticides kill insects and other organisms that threaten crops. Pesticides also are used for public health. They control insects that spread disease, such as mosquitoes that spread malaria.The UN agencies report that the market value of pesticides in developing countries last year was about three thousand million dollars. They say the estimated market value of pesticides worldwide was thirty-two thousand million dollars.Officials say poor quality pesticides often contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals often are banned or restricted in some countries.Possible causes of low quality in pesticides include production problems and failure to use the right chemicals. Officials say the active chemicals in many pesticides are stronger than those permitted by many governments. They also say poor quality pesticides may contain poisonous substances or substances that are not pure.Officials say the quality of pesticide containers and product information on the containers are other concerns. They say information on the containers often fails to explain the active chemicals and how to use the product safely.The WHO says products listing false information have been sold for years in some areas. The agencies say the problem of poor quality pesticides is widespread in parts of Africa south of the Sahara Desert. They called for worldwide acceptance of Food and Agriculture and World Health Organization pesticide rules. They say this would help guarantee the safe production of and trade in pesticides.Officials say the agencies' rules are especially important for developing countries. They say developing countries often lack systems for testing pesticides.Task 3【答案】A.1) c) 2) d) 3) b)B.That’s because they’re making an investment all the time, but are still not sure whether or not they can make profits.【原文】Interviewer: Cattle raising and beef in the US is big business, isn't it?Bob Beck: Yes, it's the largest business—cattle business.Interviewer: It must be a very profitable business then.Bob Beck: Uh, not necessarily.Interviewer: It's not necessarily a profitable business?Bob Beck: At times, it's not profitable. Your production costs get... it's a supply and demand market, and if your supply is larger than your demand... Interviewer: So the price is fluctuating all the time...Bob Beck: Right. It fluctuates, and it can get below production costs. Interviewer: But you never know. For instance, next year, you don't know what it'll bring on the market.Bob Beck: No, technically it takes a year and a half from the time you breed the cow, until you get the calf, until the calf's marketable.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: You've got a year, to a year and a half, tied up there.Interviewer: So, you're making an investment all the time.Bob Beck: Right. So you're not sure.Interviewer: It sounds like it might be a very insecure kind of existence. Wonder why it is that people want to be farmers or ranchers then...Bob Beck: I think the majority of it is you like it. It's one thing. It's a breed of people.They like it. If you don't like what you're doing, why...Interviewer: What is there about it? You live essentially in a rural area. Doesn't that feeling of isolation ever bother you?Bob Beck: No. It's getting too crowded.Interviewer: Too crowded!Bob Beck: Too many people!Interviewer: I can see that, for instance, in a city, you have restaurants to go to, movie theaters—all kinds of thingsavailable to people, a lot of conveniences which you don't have in the morerural areas. What dopeople who farm and ranch do for recreation and relaxation, for instance...erm...Bob Beck: Well, I think a lot of it is if you're a livestock raiser, you'll go check your cows in the evening instead of going to a movie.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: That's as much recreation as driving through a bunch or cows, and if you like them, you enjoy that.Interviewer: In terms of the way of life, to a lot of people, it would seem that it's a very hard life. It means a lot of hard work. I mean, you have aschedule—whether you feel like it or not, you have to get out and feedanimals, and so forth. Would you regard that as one of the difficultthings about it, or is that...Bob Beck: No.Interviewer: …just sort of... part of it?Bob Beck: For me, if I had to go to a desk every morning, that'd kill me.Task 4【答案】A. paid off, fall back on, a security, operating expenses, complete disasterB.1) Some of them cook the meals, clean the house and take care of the kids every day.2) Yes. That is especially so after they've had one or two bad years when they couldn’t make money.3) When their children are small, they were with their parents to go out to work; when they are very small, Sharon didn’t go out as much as she would later.4) She thinks that in this way the children are a lot more self-reliant. They learn to work and they learn responsibility. They learn a lot about life by being continually in life with animals.【原文】Bob Beck: I think, for a wife, the same as a husband, they like it or they wouldn't marry a farmer or a rancher.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: They'd get out. I think it's not at all wives. Some of them are just like suburban housewives.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: They cook the meals, and they clean the house and that's it... take care of the kids...Interviewer: Have you known some situations like that?Bob Beck: Oh, yeah, I know situations like that!Interviewer: Sharon, is there a problem of the feeling of security?Sharon Beck: What kind of security are you talking about—financial security? Interviewer: Uh, yeah, financial security. Uh, the thing is up and down. You don't know what the market's going to bring, er... for beef. You work all year,and so forth... Is there any problem of that sort?Sharon Beck: Sure, there's the problem of security. Especially, if you've had one or two bad years. You feel awfully insecure.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: If you've borrowed money to buy a farm or to operate, and there's no money coming in, you feel awfully insecure.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: But if you've got a fairly good amount of your ranch paid off, you've got that to fall back on. You can always think of that as a security. Ifeverything else fails, if you can’t pay for your operating expenses…Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: ...you can always sell your equity in your ranch. So it isn't complete disaster.Interviewer: But it's not something that bothers you terribly. I mean, it's a fact of life. It's sort of...Sharon Beck: Something you live with, yeah...Interviewer:... part of the thing. The role of the wife in this situation is quite different than that of a suburban housewife. You don't have much free time, doyou?Sharon Beck: No.Interviewer: Because, essentially, you work in much the same way that your husband does.Sharon Beck: Yes, I'm usually with him.Interviewer: How do you handle the whole family-life situation—children? You're out almost as much as a working mother in the city, aren't you?Sharon Beck: Yes. The only difference is we're together.Interviewer: The children too...?Sharon Beck: The children too. When they're not in school, when they were small, they were with us. When they were very small, of course, I didn't goout as much.Interviewer: Do you feel that there are advantages in growing up in this way? Sharon Beck: Yeah, I definitely feel that there're advantages. There are disadvantages too, but I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Interviewer: What are some of those advantages you think the children have? Sharon Beck: The advantages?Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: Well, they're a lot more self-reliant. They learn to work. Erm, they learn responsibility.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: They learn a lot about life by being continually in life, with animals, and... I think it makes them... erm... They grow up!Task 5【答案】A.1) 75 percent, half, in the east and south of England, in eastern Scotland, cereals, in hilly areas, on the richer grass of the lowlands2) 173, 703) The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the National Farmers' Union, 2 percent, 25 percent4) 1973, the European CommunityB.1) First, farmers complain that their work is made more difficult by rules and regulations that have been introduced. Second, they also claim that quota systems, which limit the amount of produce they can sell, make it impossible to make a profit.2) Many farmers let farm cottages, offer bed and breakfast to tourists, and grow strawberries in order to gain some extra money.3) Because the CAP’s set-aside policy is seen as helping farmers ge4t rich for doing nothing.4) Farmers are often criticized for destroying woods and hedges and for poisoning the environment with fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers may also be accused of cruelty towards their animals.【原文】About 75 percent of Britain is farmed, and British farms supply over half the country's food. Arable farms are mainly in the east and south of England and in eastern Scotland. The main crops are cereals, for example, wheat and barley, and potatoes, sugar beet and oilseed rape. Livestock, mainly sheep and cattle, are reared in hilly areas, though dairy cows are kept on the richer grass of the lowlands. Many cattle farmers have had a difficult time recently because of the BSE crisis. Kent, often called "the garden of England", and the Vale of Evesham are famous for horticultural produce.The average size of a British farm is 173 acres (70 hectares). Most farms are managed like other modern businesses. The word agribusiness describes the commercial aspects of farming. It is also used to refer to all the industries, including farming, which are associated with food production.The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is the government department responsible for agriculture. Farmers' interests are represented by the National Farmers' Union. Agriculture only employs about 2 percent of the British workforce, though this figure rises to 25 percent when food processing industries are included.In 1973, Britain's entry into the European Community led to many changes in farming. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) provides help for farmers through subsidies. Originally, farmers were encouraged to produce as much as they could, and any surplus was put into storage. The cost of this policy was passed on to customers, who had to pay higher prices for food. Many people are still unhappy about the CAP. Farmers complain that their work is made more difficult by rules and regulations that have been introduced. They also claim that quota systems, which limit the amount of produce they can sell, make it impossible to make a profit. In recent years many farmers have tried to find additional ways of making money, e.g. by letting farm cottages, offering bed and breakfast to tourists, or by growing strawberries.But farmers do not get much sympathy from other people, mainly because of the money they receive in subsidies. The CAP’s set-aside policy, which pays farmers to leave some fields uncultivated, is seen by some people as helping farmers get rich for doing nothing. Farmers are sometimes called "custodians of the countryside", but they are often criticized for destroying woods and hedges and for poisoning the environment with fertilizers and pesticides. Some farmers practise organic fanning without chemicals, but, although people approve of this, most are unwilling to pay higher prices for organic produce. Farmers may also be accused of cruelty towards their animals: In battery farming, for instance, chickens are reared in crowded cages.Task 6【答案】A.1) over 22 million, about 2.5 percent, in the 1950s, in the 1980s, 470, 190, 174 ,70, 1940, 1996, $51 billion2) 36 percent, 47 percent3) $200 billion, $60 billion-worthB.1) Midwest, corn, soybeans2) Canada, southern Texas on the eastern side3) the Great Lakes4) Florida, Southern California and Hawaii5) the southeastC.1) The US Department of Agriculture spends a lot of its budget on buying surpluses and paying subsidies to farmers for them not to grow certain crops.2) It will gradually end these subsidies and give farmers more freedom to respond to public demand and grow what they want.3) The Federation is involved in agricultural research, but it also protects farmers' rights and tries to influence government policy.4) They think factory farming is bad and are in favor of organic produce, but they are unwilling to pay the extra cost.【原文】Agribusiness in the United States employs more people than any other industry, over 22 million, but only about 2.5 percent of the American workforce are farmers. Many people got into debt and left their farms in the 1950s, and in the 1980s many more farmers sold out and moved to the cities. The average size of a farm is now 470 acres (190 hectares), compared with 174 acres (70 hectares) in 1940. In 1996 farm income was more than $51 billion, the highest ever, but despite this many farmers had large debts.Many farmers live in the Corn Belt of the Midwest where corn and soybeans are grown. The US grows 36 percent of the world's corn and 47 percent of its soybeans. Others live on the prairies of the Great Plains, in what is known as the Wheat Belt, which stretches from Canada to southern Texas on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. Most livestock farmers live around the Great Lakes in the Dairy Belt, or further south in states like Texas where cattle are bred for meat on ranches. In the South many live in the Cotton Belt. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, are grown in Florida, Southern California and Hawaii, and tobacco is grown in the southeast. In 1996 the total value of agricultural products was $200 billion, of which $60billion-worth, mostly grain and soybeans, was exported. Farmers and ranchers are usually well respected by other people.The US Department of Agriculture spends a lot of its budget on buying surpluses and paying subsidies (in this case, money for not growing certain crops) to farmers, though in 1996 Congress passed a "Freedom to Farm" law that will gradually end these subsidies and give farmers more freedom to respond to public demand and grow what they want.Farmers are represented by the American Farm Bureau Federation and county farm organizations called Farm Bureaus. The Federation is involved in agricultural research, but it also protects farmers' rights and tries to influence government policy. Agricultural colleges attached to universities are highly respected. Extension officers act as a link between research departments and farmers.As in Britain, many people in the United States think factory farming is bad and are in favor of organic produce, but they are unwilling to pay the extra cost.Task 7【答案】A.Agroecology The Green RevolutionLand used Use less land andgrow more kinds ofplant. Use land intensively and grow the same crop on the same land year after year.Fertilizer used Use organic materialsand compostUse chemical fertilizer.The way to water crops Reduce the need forirrigation.Use irrigation intensively.The method to control pests Use helpful insects tokill harmful ones.Use insecticides.B.1) Agroecology and the Green Revolution both want to increase productivity,2) Often the same crop is grown on the same land year after year. Soil breaks down and washes away. Also, fewer varieties of the same plant are grown. This can limit the number of varieties that may have useful genetic qualities.3) Because irrigation systems can use up groundwater faster than nature can replace it. And there are costs to taking water from other areas.4) Pesticides do destroy harmful insects, but they also kill helpful ones, and can cause pollution and health problems. Also, pests can develop the ability to resist chemicals.【原文】Agroecology is a field of ideas about how to farm productively while also protecting natural resources. It is seen in many ways as an answer to the Green Revolution that has given us modem farming methods.Agroecology and the Green Revolution both want to increase productivity, but they work toward this common goal in different ways. Many agroecologists question how long modem farming methods can continue.Modem farming uses land intensively. Often the same crop is grown on the same land year after year. Soil breaks down and washes away. Also, fewer varieties of the same plant are grown. This can limit the number of varieties that may have useful genetic qualities.Another issue is fertilizer. Agroecologists say they would use organic materials and compost in place of chemicals. The Green Revolution has shown that chemical fertilizer can greatly increase crop productivity, but it can also pollute water supplies.To water crops, agroecologists say they would use methods that reduce the need for irrigation. Irrigation is an ancient idea. Water is drawn up from the ground or brought from another place. Irrigated crops are highly productive: 16 percent of all farmland in the world is irrigated, but this 16 percent of the farmland produces 40 percent of all food. Yet irrigation systems can use up groundwater faster than nature can replace it. And there are costs to taking water from other areas.To control pests, agroecologists say they would use helpful insects to kill harmful ones. In the last 50 years, however, farmers have increased the use of insecticides. These chemical poisons do destroy harmful insects, but they also kill helpful ones, and can cause pollution and health problems. Also, pests can develop the ability to resist chemicals.Task 8【原文】Farming changed very little from early times until about 1700. In the 1700s an agricultural revolution took place which led to a large increase in the production of crops. This increase of crops came about in a large part by little more than the final destruction of medieval institutions and the more general adoption of techniques and crops which had been known for a long time. Included in some of these changes was also the adoption of crops from the "new world" such as corn and potatoes which produced a very large yield.In the 1850s, the industrial revolution spilled over to the farm with new mechanized methods which increased production rates. Early on, the large changes were in the use of new farm implements. Most of these early implements were still powered by horses or oxen. These new implements combined with crop rotation, manure and better soil preparation led to a steady increase of crop yield in Europe.The advent of steam power and later gas powered engines brought a whole new dimension to the production of crops. Yet, even as recently as 100 years ago, four fifths of the world population lived outside towns and were in some way dependant on agriculture.。

Each passage is followed by 5 comprehension questions. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answers.Passage 1Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have a very poor sense of direction, and though I may have visited a place time after time, I still manage to get lost on my way there. So if anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid confusing them, but even this can have embarrassing results.I was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I woulddirect him to the Bank of China Building. Without thinking, I gave my usual reply, but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I found it was too late to turn back and search him out in the crowd behind me as I had an appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his surprise when he recognized me as the person he had asked!1. The author thinks that some people are fortunate because _______.A. they are born with a poor sense of directionB. they are born with a good sense of directionC. they are born with no sense of directionD. they are born with less sense of direction than others2. When someone asks the author the way, he usually says _______.A. that he knows the wayB. that he is willing to tell the directionC. that he is a stranger to the townD. that he is an acquaintance to the town3. Later the author realized that the man had asked for directions _______.A. to his office buildingB. to his friend's office buildingC. to a bank he doesn’t knowD. to a place he has never heard of4. The man who had asked the author for directions was _______.A. the author's friendB. the author's new clientC. the author's bossD. the author's secretary5. The author felt _______ when his secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions.A. satisfiedB. luckyC. fortunateD. embarrassedPassage 2"Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family —hence thetremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them — they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.6. What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different definitions could be given to the word.C.Different nations have different families.D. Different times produce different families.7. For an English family, the husband's duty is ___________.A.supporting the family while the wife's is financialB.defending the family while the wife's is running the homeC.financial while the wife's is running the homeD.independent while the wife's is dependent8. Everything is decided in a family _________.A.by the coupleB.with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles9. What is true concerning the book "Pride and Prejudice"?A.It is the best book on marriage.B.It is a handbook of marriage.C.It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D.It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.10.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in _______.A.the right to get marriedB.more parental supportC.choosing husbandsD.social positionPassage 3American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American "dream" was to have a house in the suburbs.Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.A new class is moving into the city — a wealthier, more mobile class.Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure:Many dying cities are alive again.11. Paragraph 1 __________.A.explains why American cities are changingB.is a description of citiesC.shows that American cities have many problemsD.says: American cities contain the very best aspects of a society12.In the 1950s the American "dream" was ______.A.to have a color TV setB.to have a big carC.to buy an apartment in the cityD.to buy a new house in the suburbs13.In paragraph 3, the author gives ______ reasons why people want to live in cities.A.twoB.threeC.fourD.five14.According to the article, cities are ______.A.sickB.alive againC.livingD.dying15. The movement of people to and from the city can explain _______.A.social changesB.violent crimeC.racial conflictD.the best aspects of a societyPassage 4Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some reason, we cannot obtain it. It has been known to man for at least 3,000 years, but has come into common use only in modern times. Until quite recently it was considered as a medicine and as a luxury for the very rich only.Sugar is, then, very important to our civilization. But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. This common form of sugar is derived from two plants: the sugarcane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows under ground). But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties, each coming from a different source.About 90% of the sugar is produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed more than in the past.There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods. Thus sugarcane and sugar beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000, while the figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land growing wheat, beans and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar.16.The heading of Paragraph 1 may be _________.A.What Sugar IsB.Sugar Through the AgesC.The Advantages of SugarD.Present and Future Uses of Sugar17.The third paragraph emphasizes ________.A.about 90% of sugar is used as foodB.only 10% is used in industryC.sugar is used for making plasticD.future uses of sugar18. Sugar has been used widely _________.A.for 3,000 yearsB.in modern timesC.quite recentlyD.for 300 years19.How many common forms of sugar are exemplified in this passage?A.One.B.Two.C.One hundred.D.Several hundreds.20.The main reason why we should increase the production of sugar is ________.A.it tastes sweetB.we can save plenty of landC.we can get more foodD.it's one of the least highly concentrated of energy foodsIII.

Results of the 76-patient study were presented last week at the American Heart Association' s annual Scientific Sessions in Dallas, Texas. The study was funded by the Pet Care Trust Founda-tion, a non-profit organization which promotes human-animal interaction and bonding. In the stud-y, effects of dog and volunteer visits were compared with those of volunteers only, and with patients who had no visits and remained at rest. Heart pressures were monitored and patients were asked to answer a list of anxiety assessment questions before and after the visits. Although critical pressure measures also decreased, suggesting improved cardiac function, the most marked response was seen in anxiety levels. "The first thing you notice is that the patient' s facial expression ,changes to a smile and the stress of the world seems to be lifted off their shoulders," study author Kathy Cole said. Feelings of depression and helplessness are common among heart patients, Cole said, and just three nights in a hospital is enough to make some patients feel anxious and unsettled. During the visit, the furry friend is allowed to lie on the bed next to the patient with its head within two feet of the patient' s. Most patients petted the dog, whileothers engaged human volunteers in conversation about the dog. Dogs used in the study are specially trained animal-assisted therapy dogs that undergo a series of trainings, evaluations and certifications to qualify as therapy dogs. Dog breeds varied. Research-ers used everything from Bernese mountain dogs to small schnauzers. However, a dog doesn't have to be specially trained to have a calming effect on its human counterparts. In fact, the animal doesn' t even have to be a dog in order to help. "As long as the animal has meaning to the patient, or a relationship with the patient, it can help calm the patient," Cole said.46、We learn from the text that heart patients benefit most from visits A．by a volunteer with a dog B．by a volunteer on his own C．by a well-trained dog alone D．by a non-profit organization47、 The study shows that, for heart patients, A．their anxiety is reduced if they stay longer in hospital B．their contact with animals improves their condition C．their heart pressure decreases if they remain at rest D．their recovery relies on contact with animals48、 According to Cole, the change of patients' facial expression indicates that A．they are happy with the experiment B．they are psychologically comforted C．their hospitalization may be shortened D．their heart function is returning to normal49、 Cole believes that dogs are helpful to the patients if A．they are limited to certain breeds B．they are specially trained ones C．they have meaning to them D．they stay with them all day50、 This report focuses on A．the healing power of animals B．the treatment of heart disease C．the relationship between dogs and humans D．the promotion of human-animal interaction　根据下列材料，请回答51-65题： Text 2 In many respects, Katsura Okiyama is a typical Japanese woman in her 20s. She enjoys spend-ing time with her friends and loves Disney. But, less typically, she is a writer. And, quite excep-tionally, her medium is a cell phone. In Japan, not only are people reading novels on their cell phones; they're also writing novels with them--uploading SMS-length chapters to specialist websites where they are in turn downloaded to the phones of millions of readers. The most popular are printed as books and sell in the hundreds of thousands. In book form, K, Okiyama' s first cell-phone novel, is 235 pages long. "I think I was writing 20 pages in two hours per day at the most, and it took me almost a month," she says. Although she was used to writing around 100 text messages daily, Okiyama never expected that thumbing her keypad would enable her to become one of the country' s hot new writers. "I had never written a story," she says. "I never had the idea of how a real novel should be, so that might be why I could do it. " "Cell-phone novels are created and consumed by a generation of young people in Japan that demands to be heard," says John Possman, an entertainment consultant. "It is truly pop culture. It has also become big business, shaking up a publishing industry whose sales have been declining for a decade. " Individual voices are hard to find, however. As dictated by the medium, the language of cell-phone novels is simple and peppered with emoticons--signs that represent various attitudes or emo-tions. Dialogue and description are scarce. Subject matter is always the same. Typically, a heroine loses her first love and then later struggles to find love again. "The stories are often told in the first person and lack diversity," agrees Possman. But that hasn't been a problem with consumers yet. "Why don't you write a novel and move me?" read one angry schoolgirl' s recent online post, in response to a fierce opponent of cell-phone novels. So far, Japan' s literary establishment hasn' t come up with an answer.51、In Japan, cell-phone writers A．upload their stories bit by bit to websites B．pay to have their novels printed as books C．spend almost one month to finish a novel D．send SMS-length texts to readers'phones52、 According to Katsura Okiyama, she is able to write because A．she has an insight into literature B．she has training in storytelling C．she is skilled in text messaging D．she is free from literary rules53、 According to John Possman, the Japanese publishing industry A．is pushed forward by the pop culture B．is strengthened by cell-phone novels C．has been shrinking for many years D．has been creating a generation of young readers54、 We learn from the text that cell-phone novels" A．feature moving dialogues B．have different writing styles C．lack variety in subject matter D．encourage readers to read others55、 It can be inferred that Japan' s literary establishment can' t A．settle the dispute between the two sides B．compete with cell-phone novels C．adapt to the new technologies D．change their writing styles 根据下列材料，请回答56-70题： Text 3 Too many people fear failure. Some of us let it keep us from trying new things, telling ourselves we' d be no good at it. Some limit our goals to only what we feel absolutely sure we can accomplish. Others among us try something once and when it doesn't work out, we decide that course is not for us.That' s unfortunate because, according to many top scientists, failure is nothing to fear. Not only is it inevitable, they say, it is even an indispensable ally. "In the research lab," says John Polanyi, the Nobel prize-winning chemist," failure is a good thing. If everything you try is very successful, it means you' re playing it safe; you' re not out on the edge. Failure means that you' re learning. To ask a scientist whether he has experienced failure is like asking an artist whether he has ever made a sketch. The answer is, ' a million times. ' That is the price of success. " Failure is not the opposite of success. It' s more like an ingredient. In Hollywood, thousands of ideasfor new TV shows are pitched each year, but only a select few get to the screen, let alone survive their first season. In real life, misses outnumber hits whenever people try something new.Nina Spencer, a motivational speaker and author of Getting Passion out of Your Profession, likes to remind audiences that whenever we try a new skill, we go through four stages. "There' s the point when you don' t know about the skill, and because you don' t know about it, you' re no good at it. Eventually, you come to know about the skill, but you' re incompetent to perform it. Then, as long as you think carefully and go slowly, you can do it. Eventually, it becomes so practiced, it' s easy. " The secret is not to give up at stage two. In short, the seeds of success almost always flourish best in the well-turned soil of failure. As Charles Kettering, inventor of the modem electric ignition system for cars and the holder of nearly 200 patents, once said, "failures, repeated failures, are finger-posts on the road to achievements-- one fails forward towards success. "56、According to John Polany, a seemingly all-time successful person may in fact A．be very adventurous B．be very competitive C．be very sensitive D．be very cautious57、 The Hollywood example is used to show that to succeed you should A．avoid mistakes B．live with failures C．avoid competition D．live with new ideas58、 When it comes to trying new things, people should know it is natural that A．success results from trial and error B．they might miss something important C．success requires safety guarantees D．they will hit more than they miss59、 According to Nina Spencer, the key to acquiring a new skill lies in A．practice B．persistence C．competence D．performance60、 The writer of the text wants to tell people not to A．be frightened by failure B．repeat the same failure C．underestimate failure D．be misled by failure SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes) 根据下列材料，请回答61-65题： Charles Swecker: Thank you for getting it right in your articles on how to make a better student. As an educator, I' m sure I speak for others in saying parents who encourage learning at home ultimately have kids who perform at a higher level in class. School systems have been trying to get that message out for years. Imagine, excellent teachers working with students who have a drive and desire to learn. What a perfect world! Sandy Simonson: The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Con-sequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We' ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they' ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible. Bridget Boyle : Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television was the best thing we ever did.

大学英语第3册课后习题答案与课文翻译Unit4CareerPlanning职业生涯规划1职业生涯规划不一定例行或合乎逻辑的步骤。

我们每个人都在不同的地方体重因素，可考虑某些阶段的职业规划，在不同的时间。

职业规划包括收集有关自己和了解职业，估计各种可能的结果的行动，最后，选择的替代品，我们认为有吸引力的和可行的。

2许多观察家指出，学生是不是非常有效的职业生涯规划。

他们列举的证据表明，大多数学生中选择一种十分狭隘集团的职业;多达40至百分之六十选择专业职业，而实际上只有15日至18日的百分之劳动力从事专业工作;年轻人表现出惊人的缺乏兴趣的文书，销售，服务等职业，尽管这些领域提供了许多就业机会;多达三分之一的学生无法表示任何选择职业。

3在书中决策，欧文詹尼斯和莱昂曼确定中存在的严重缺陷的方法很多人作出决定。

这些缺陷似乎与模式的人使用，以应付的问题。

第一个漏洞是自满。

谁无视人民挑战的信息作出的选择，他们表现出的自满。

人们谁采取的态度是“这不会影响我”或“这绝不会发生”使用自满为主导的模式行事。

当然，自满是适当的任何决定，其中任何事关重大，但这并不说明职业生涯的决定。

4第二个漏洞，人们应付决定是防御撤销。

当面对的是一个决定，并不能认为他们可以找到一个可以接受的解决办法，有些人保持冷静，通过诉诸一厢情愿或白日梦。

学生谁不想想影响他们的职业选择往往从事合理化（欺骗自己与自我满足，但不正确的解释，一个人的行为）或拖延（推迟或拖延）。

面临的形势可能会产生焦虑，但检查的替代品也可提供救济。

5第三个漏洞是hypervigilance这发生在职业生涯决策当人们认为，没有足够的时间来寻找解决办法，他们的恐慌。

他们疯狂地寻找职业的可能性和抓住匆忙发明的解决办法，忽略了他们所选择的后果以及其他替代方案。

人谁在恐慌有时并不认为明确或逻辑。

6最好的因应行为是警惕。

警惕决策时，就会发生人认为，选择，应作出，他们可以找到一个解决办法，并且有足够的时间。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Researchers at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California found that a 12-minute bedside visit with a dog can help ease anxiety levels by 24 percent in heart failure patients, compared to a 10 percent drop when patients had a visit from a human volunteer, and no drop in patients who had no visit.Results of the 76-patient study were presented last week at the American Heart Association´ s annual Scientific Sessions in Dallas, Texas. The study was funded by the Pet Care Trust Foundation, a non-profit organization which promotes human-animal interaction and bonding. In the stud-y, effects of dog and volunteer visits were compared with those of volunteers only, and with patients who had no visits and remained at rest. Heart pressures were monitored and patients were asked to answer a list of anxiety assessment questions before and after the visits. Although critical pressure measures also decreased, suggesting improved cardiac function, the most marked response was seen in anxiety levels."The first thing you notice is that the patient´ s facial expression changes to a smile and the stress of the world seems to be lifted off their shoulders," study author Kathy Cole said. Feelings of depression and helplessness are common among heart patients, Cole said, and just three nights in a hospital is enough to make some patients feel anxious and unsettled. During the visit, the furry friend is allowed to lie on the bed next to the patient with its head within two feet of he patient´ s. Most patients petted the dog, while others engaged human volunteers in conversation about the dog.Dogs used in the study are specially trained animal-assisted therapy dogs that undergo aseries of trainings, evaluations and certifications to qualify as therapy dogs. Dog breeds varied. Researchers used everything from Bernese mountain dogs to small schnauzers. However, a dog doesn´ t have to be specially trained to have a calming effect on its human counterparts. In fact, the animal doesn´t even have to be a dog in order to help. "As long as the animal has meaning to the patient, or a relationship with the patient, it can help calm the patient,"Cole said.第46题We learn from the text that heart patients benefit most from visits______.A.by a volunteer with a dogB.by a volunteer on his ownC.by a well-trained dog aloneD.by a non-profit organization第47题The study shows that, for heart patients, ______.A.their anxiety is reduced if they stay longer in hospitalB.their contact with animals improves their conditionC.their heart pressure decreases if they remain at restD.their recovery relies on contact with animals第48题According to Cole, the change of patients´ facial expression indicates that______.A.they are happy with the experimentB.they are psychologically comfortedC.their hospitalization may be shortenedD.their heart function is returning to normal第49题Cole believes that dogs are helpful to the patients if______.A.they are limited to certain breedsB.they are specially trained onesC.they have meaning to themD.they stay with them all day第50题This report focuses on______.A.the healing power of animalsB.the treatment of heart diseaseC.the relationship between dogs and humansD.the promotion of human-animal interaction上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.In many respects, Katsura Okiyama is a typical Japanese woman in her 20s. She enjoys spending time with her friends and loves Disney. But, less typically, she is a writer. And, quite exceptionally, her medium is a cell phone.In Japan, not only are people reading novels on their cell phones: they´ re also writing novels with them—uploading SMS-length chapters to specialist websites where they are in turn downloaded to the phones of millions of readers. The most popular are printed as books and sellin the hundreds of thousands. In book form, K, Okiyama´ s first cell-phone novel, is 235 pages long. "I think I was writing 20 pages in two hours per day at the most, and it took me almost a month," she says.Although she was used to writing around 100 text messages daily, Okiyama never expected that thumbing her keypad would enable her to become one of the country´ s hot new writers. " I had never written a story," she says. " I never had the idea of how a real novel should be, so that might be why I could do it. ""Cell-phone novels are created and consumed by a generation of young people in Japan that demands to be heard," says John Possman, an entertainment consultant. "It is truly pop culture. It has also become big business, shaking up a publishing industry whose sales have been declining for a decade. "Individual voices are hard to find, however. As dictated by the medium, the language of cellphone novels is simple and peppered with emoticons—signs that represent various attitudes or emotions. Dialogue and description are scarce. Subject matter is always the same. Typically, a heroine loses her first love and then later struggles to find love again."The stories are often told in the first person and lack diversity," agrees Possman. But that hasn´ t been a problem with consumers yet. "Why don´t you write a novel and move me?" read one angry schoolgirl´ s recent online post, in response to a fierce opponent of cell-phone novels. So far, Japan´ s literary establishment hasn´ t come up with an answer.第51题In Japan, cell-phone writers______.A.upload their stories bit by bit to websitesB.pay to have their novels printed as booksC.spend almost one month to finish a novelD.send SMS-length texts to readers´ phones第52题According to Katsura Okiyama, she is able to write because______.A.she has an insight into literatureB.she has training in storytellingC.she is skilled in text messaging .D.she is free from literary rules第53题According to John Possman, the Japanese publishing industry______.A.is pushed forward by the pop cultureB.is strengthened by cell-phone novelsC.has been shrinking for many yearsD.has been creating a generation of young readers第54题We learn from the text that cell-phone novels______.A.feature moving dialoguesB.have different writing stylesck variety in subject matterD.encourage readers to read others第55题It can be inferred that Japan´ s literary establishment can´t______.A.settle the dispute between the two sidespete with cell-phone novelsC.adapt to the new technologiesD.change their writing styles上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.Too many people fear failure. Some of us let it keep us from trying new things, telling ourselves we´d be no good at it. Some limit our goals to only what we feel absolutely sure we can accomplish. Others among us try something once and when it doesn´ t work out, we decide that course is not for us.That´ s unfortunate because, according to many top scientists, failure is nothing to fear. Not only is it inevitable, they say, it is even an indispensable ally. "In the research lab," says John Po-lanyi, the Nobel prize-winning chemist," failure is a good thing. If everything you try is very successful, it means you´re playing it safe: you´ re not out on the edge. Failure means that you´ re learning. To ask a scientist whether he has experienced failure is like asking an artist whether he has ever made a sketch. The answer is, ´a million times. ´ That is the price of success. "Failure is not the opposite of success. It´ s more like an ingredient. In Hollywood, thousands of ideas for new TV shows are pitched each year, but only a select few get to the screen, let alone survive their first season. In real life, misses outnumber hits whenever people try something new.Nina Spencer, a motivational speaker and author of Getting Passion out of Your Profession, likes to remind audiences that whenever we try a new skill, we go through four stages. "There´ s the point when you don´ t know about the skill, and because you don´ t know about it, you´ re no good at it. Eventually, you come to know about the skill, but you´ re incompetent to perform it. Then , as long as you think carefully and go slowly, you can do it. Eventually, it becomes so practiced, it´ s easy. " The secret is not to give up at stage two.In short, the seeds of success almost always flourish best in the well-turned soil of failure. As Charles Kettering, inventor of the modern electric ignition system for cars and the holder of nearly 200 patents, once said, " failures, repeated failures, are finger-posts on the road to achievements— one fails forward towards success. "第56题According to John Polany, a seemingly all-time successful person may in fact______.A.be very adventurousB.be very competitiveC.be very sensitiveD.be very cautious第57题The Hollywood example is used to show that to succeed you should______.A.avoid mistakesB.live with failuresC.avoid competitionD.live with new ideas第58题When it comes to trying new things, people should know it is natural that______.A.success results from trial and errorB.they might miss something importantC.success requires safety guaranteesD.they will hit more than they miss第59题According to Nina Spencer, the key to acquiring a new skill lies in______.A.practiceB.persistencepetenceD.performance第60题The writer of the text wants to tell people not to______.A.be frightened by failureB.repeat the same failureC.underestimate failureD.be misled by failure上一题下一题(61~65/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Charles Swecker:Thank you for getting it right in your articles on how to make a better student. As an educator, I´m sure I speak for others in saying parents who encourage learning at home ultimately have kids who perform at a higher level in class. School systems have been trying to get that message out for years. Imagine, excellent teachers working with students who have a drive and desire to learn. What a perfect world!Sandy Simonson:The students you pictured have positive attitudes: they expect to work hard on their own. Consequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We´ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they´ ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible.Bridget Boyle:Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading becomes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television was the best thing we ever did.Deborah Curtin:Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course,there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have.Alan Holmari:I don´t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to be produced at my high school. And I´ m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it´ s actually getting me somewhere. So marks aren´ t everything.Statements[A]Grades cannot fully reflect the whole picture of a student.[B]Try your best to make your children habitual readers.[C]Tolerant parents are sure to shape successful children.[D]Parents´ encouragement helps to improve children´ s performance at school.[E]Schooling is very different from educating.[F]Good students are actually not made but born.[G]Students cannot become better at school unless they are self-driven.第61题Charles Swecker________第62题Sandy Simonson ________第63题Bridget Boyle ______第64题Deborah Curtin ______第65题Alan Holman ______上一题下一题(1/1)WritingDirections:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A第66题You have read the following notice about a lost handbag.

大学英语III课程培训3答案及解析

大学英语III课程培训班学习材料（三）参考答案及解析2013-2014学年第二学期Part I WritingDo Mobiles Distract Study？Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones. It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays. And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus.Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones so that they call it an essential investment. Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress. The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using their mobile phones. To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants in the “Ivory Tower”.As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too. In classrooms, the untimely ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints. Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.【行文点评】文章由现象到本质，分三个段落层次分明地对主题进行了论述。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach herand say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.

Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered includepottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.A.part of a historical cave systemB.the biggest underground lake in the worldC.listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD.the largest body of water in Tennessee67. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A.

Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and toldagain, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.A.several studies have been done in the past few yearsB.the omission of breakfast does no harm to o ne’s healthC.adults have especially made studies in this fieldD.eating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB.not giving people breakfast improve performanceC.having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD.people having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.A.breakfast does not affect performanceB.Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC.not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a st udent’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

WritingIn Money Everything?I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.。
