爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事1 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后，我和波莉有了第一次约会。

那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克，而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的，他一想到这个就受不了，于是他和我达成了一项协议，用他的女友换取我的夹克。

他可不那么聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。

2 但她漂亮而且富有，也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。

她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。

如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。

3 “光彩照人”，她已经是了。

而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。

4 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。

我的想法有些怪异。

而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。

我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。

“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。

5 “逻辑学。

”6 “好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。

7 “逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。

逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。

我们先来看看一种叫做…绝对判断‟的逻辑谬误。

”8 “好啊，”她表示同意。

9 “…绝对判断‟是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。

比方说：运动是有益的，所以每个人都应该运动。

”10 她点头表示赞同。

11 我看得出她没弄明白。

“波莉，” 我解释说，“这个推断太过简单化了。

如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的，运动就变得有害而不是有益。

所以你应该说，运动对大多数人来说是有益的。

”12 “接下来是…草率结论‟。

这似乎不言自明，对吧？仔细听好了：你不会说法语，罗伯也不会说法语，那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。

”13 “是吗？”波莉吃惊地说。

“没有人吗？”14 “这也是一种逻辑谬误，”我说，“这一结论太草率了，因为能够支持这一结论的例证太少了。

U校园新视野大学英语4读写教程答案(Unit 1 Life and logic)

U校园新视野大学英语4 读写教程答案Unit 1 Life and logicSection A1-2 Text A: Love and logic: The story of a fallacy Pre-reading activitiesPre-reading activities-11) B2) A3) A4) B5) B6) A7) C8) CPre-reading activities-21) Reasoning skills deal with the process of getting from a problem to a solution or a conclusion. By improving your reasoning skills, you can improve your success in doing things. Specifically, strong reasoning skills can help you to:improve the quality and validity of your own arguments; improve your ability to assess the quality and validity of others' arguments;make more logical decisions;solve problems more efficiently and effectively.To give a specific example, every day you have to make various decisions, and yet even some simple decisions like deciding what to wear when you're getting dressed in the morning require some reasoning skills. When you decide what to wear, you take many factors into consideration the weather forecast, the current temperature, your plans for the day (where you are going, what you will do, and whom you will meet), your comfort level, and so on. In real life, you need to face decisions that are much more difficult than choosingwhat to wear. So, it is really important to have strong reasoning skills.2) The factors below are usually important for a logical conclusion:critical thinking skills;facts;evidence;sound reasoning process, etc.Reading comprehensionReading comprehension-11) The deal between them is that the narrator gives Rob his leather jacket, and Rob, in exchange, gives the narrator his girlfriend. They make the deal because they want to get something from each other: Rob is crazy about fashion, and he wants to own the narrator's fashionable leather jacket; the narrator longs to have a beautiful girlfriend, and Rob's girlfriend is beautiful.2) He thinks a beautiful and well-spoken girlfriend will assist him to land a job and achieve success in an elite law company.3) The narrator feels this way because he can't stop thinking that his purpose of dating Polly is not for romance but for improving her intelligence, and he can't let Polly know his plan.4) The narrator decides to teach Polly logic because he believes logic is essential to clear thinking. By teaching Polly logic, he can make her intelligent. 5) When the narrator teaches her logic, Polly responds either shortly with "Cool", "Great", "I like that idea", or simply with nodding or blinking without saying anything. These responses give us an impression that Polly is a nice but rather simple-minded girl.6) Yes. He is only too successful in teaching Polly logic because in the end when he asks Polly to be his girlfriend, Polly refuses his request by applying all the logical fallacies he has taught her.7) Because he wants to make one more attempt to win Polly as his girlfriend by asking her to forget what he has taught her.8) The end of the story is ironic because Polly turns out to be smarter than the narrator. First, she is able to refute all his arguments as logical fallacies. Then, she discloses that she and Rob have played a trick on him. The narrator has been too smart for his own good. Reading comprehension-21) In my opinion, all the three characters are complex. The following are my descriptions about them. Smart: He is an excellent law student and knows a lot about logic.Sophisticated: He believes a beautiful and intelligent girlfriend will benefit him in his future career. Arrogant and self-conceited: He thinks highly of himself but badly of his roommate.Over-confident: He thinks the girl will surely choose him rather than Rob.Stupid and simple-minded: He knows nothing about what can happen in real life.Fashionable and cool: He loves fashion and cares a lot about his appearance.Dishonest: He plays a trick on the narrator to get his leather jacket.Clever: He is able to get what he wants without losing anything.Beautiful and nice: She is pretty and easy to be with. Shallow: She chooses Rob simply because he is fashionable.Smart: She learns quickly and is full of wit when refusing to be the narrator's girlfriend.2) The story itself includes the fallacy "Dicto Simpliciter". The narrator assumes that all girls would be happy to date a boy whose future is somewhat guaranteed. Therefore, Polly, a beautiful and wealthy young girl, would certainly fall in love with him "an ingenious student" and "a man with an assured future",rather than Rob "a muscular idiot". However, to the narrator's surprise and disappointment, Polly chooses Rob in the end because Rob is fashionable and cool.3) Love is blind. It is ridiculous to use logic to deal with love.Smart people sometimes can make wrong judgments. Smart people are sometimes too arrogant and confident. Smart people may fall victims to their own smartness.4) Yes. Because not only would teaching logic in school help minimize the overwhelming number of fallacious assertions, but also would serve as an excellent precursor to higher mathematics and help make other courses such as geometry and calculus less of a mystery to most students.No. Because logic can be learned through other subjects such as math, philosophy, reading, etc. It's not necessary to offer a special course about it.5) Yes, certainly. Actually, logical fallacies are very common in our everyday life. I myself commit logicalfallacies very often, too. For example, when I first met my roommate in college, I felt very surprised when he told me he didn't like noodles. I asked, "People in the north of China like eating noodles. You are from the north, why don't you like noodles?" Here I committed the logical fallacy "Dicto Simpliciter". I falsely asserted that all people in the north should like noodles, and there should be no exception to this premise.1-3 Text A: Language focusWords in use1. crumbled2. discern3. surpass4. shrewd5. conversion6. distort7. radiant8. ingenious9. stumped10. propositionWord building: Practice Word building: Practice-11) delicacy2) bankruptcy3) accountancy4) secrecy5) vacancy6) urgency7) atmospheric8) magnet9) metallic10) gloom11) guilt12) masteryWord building: Practice-21. bankruptcies2. atmospheric3. delicacies4. urgency5. accountancy6. gloom7. magnet8. metallic9. mastery10. vacancy11. guilt12. secrecyBanked cloze1) mentioned2) determine3) gained4) responsible5) heavily6) artistic7) opposite8) analytical9) distorted10) stumped Expressions in use1) were dripping with2) in exchange for3) flared up4) make an analogy between5) set a date for6) make7) out of8) made a pact9) had appealed to1-4 Structure analysis & writingStructured writing: Practice参考：I had my most embarrassing experience when I was in the second year of college. During that period of time, I often liked to chat with my friends by passing notes in class. My bitter story happened one Tuesday morning, when our English teacher was busy writing on the blackboard, trying to teach us, in her monotonous voice, the difference between "tolerable" and "tolerant".The teacher was hard-working, but I really wanted to share my good mood with my best friend, Tony. Therefore,I picked up my pen and wrote on a slip of paper, "Hey, I want to tell you something that will make you really envious of me," and then I passed the slip to him. He quickly opened it and read it. Being too curious, he wasted no time writing on the note some words and passed it back. "What is it? Tell me immediately!" he asked. "Sally just gave me her cell phone number." I responded.I could not wait to see his jealous face.However, when he got my note, an unexpected thing happened. The note was grabbed by another hand. To my shock, the teacher was standing in front of Tony. She read the note in her hand loudly and looked sternly around the whole class. "Who passed the note to Tony? Who was so lucky to get Sally's phone number?" She asked. All the class started to whisper, and I vaguely heard them talking about who started the passing of the note. My face turned red, and my heart beat quickly. Of course, those who sat around me knew I was the culprit. They looked at me, giggling quietly. Meanwhile, Sally blushed a deep crimson and looked very angry. She glared at me as if to say, "I am going to kill you."I did not stand up to admit I was the offender, but I felt so embarrassed that I really wished that there had been a place for me to hide myself. After the incident, I did not dare to pass notes in class anymore.1-5 TranslationTranslationTranslation-1参考：亚里士多德是古希腊的哲学家和科学家。

Use Proper Body Language
Para. 1&2
ties and collars straight, and attention paid to hair and
teeth. Whether you're trying to win an election, addressing
the family at a funeral, talking business at a conference,
or giving a seminar at school, there are several key things to remember when speaking to people.
Para. 3&4
The Way You Stand How you hold yourself is very important, especially to the delivery of a good speech. Stand up straight and keep your head up. Leaning against a column or dropping your head is a defense mechanism we all might be tempted to use when we're uncomfortable. However, these things look unprofessional and may prevent your audience from hearing you clearly. On the other hand, don't stand like a guard on duty; you have to be able to move in a natural way in order to add expression to your words. Body language "says" a lot. Can you imagine, for instance, a diplomat speaking in front of the members of an embassy and not making one single movement at all? No movement can sometimes be worse than too much!

新视野大学英语第四册第1-8单元课后作文

新视野大学英语第四册课后作文1-8Unit1Parents differ from children in their career choice. The question of who should be responsible for planning their career often causes problems for many children. Parents think that they know their children well enough to decide what kind of job suits them. They are afraid that their children are too young to decide their future on their own. However, many children would argue that they should be left free to make their own choice. The other aspect of career choice is that parents and their children are often different in their opinions of the idea profession. Parents would prefer children to choose some professions that are stable and could bring prestige and economic benefits. But some children would rather choose professions that are challenging and require independent and creative thinking.Unit2Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even more so for the world. On thestage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were perhaps more characteristic of Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the roles Chaplin played were in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding hisfilms. With sound movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known nationality and was accepted and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime he did not stay in his mother country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of different nationalities.Unit3It is difficult to get a welfare client’s wheelchair repaired．Once my wheelchair needed repairing，and I notified my caseworker. She gave me a lecture that I hadn’t taken good care of my wheelchair.Then she told me that I must have the patience to wait until she had the time to report my wheelchair conditions to my medical worker. Then the medical worker called the wheelchair repair companies to get the cheapest bid and informed the main welfare office at the state capital．It took them another several days to consider the matter. When they finally got my wheelchair repaired，I had been confined to bed for more than half a month．Unit4Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you would find a world of difference between the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare clients to work on their own for a gradual shiftaway from welfare, and this is not the case in the past. Welfare clients now can develop their talents to make money. In the past, they often cheated to bleed the system for a few extra dollars.Now caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate jobs rather than act like detectives to try to seek out any unreported properties. Today many welfare clients have made a choice to live a life of complete honesty and they tell the truth to caseworkers and declare any extra income they make. In cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved because theydon't need to search for any cheating as in the past.Unit5Some people prefer to live alone whereas some others have to live alone for one reason or another.Those people believing in inspirational solitude argue that no companion is more companionable than solitude. Literary giants such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry Thoreau enjoyed living alone on purpose. Hunters or explorers enjoy themselves as they venture out to tame the great wild areas. On the other hand, there are some other people who have to live alone due to various reasons:being divorced, widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter to live in solitude. They have no one to talk to and as a result they talk at length to themselves and to their pets and to the television.Unit6Typically there are two kinds of people who choose to live alone on purpose. The first group of people is artists. They believe in the inspiration in solitude. One of my friends is a writer. He enjoys the time when he is alone because he can stay up late to read and, above all, concentrate on his writing without fear of being interrupted by others. On his wall he posts a quotation from Thoreau: "I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude." The second group consists of people who are disappointed with their marriage or family life. A woman I know has been living alone since her husband left her five years ago. She is not waiting for his return but she is just disappointed with life.Unit7Sticking to high moral standards is easier said than done. Once, a young British car sales managerwho had just finished courses on business ethics was sent to sell cars to an African country. Thenegotiations had been going on for months without any real results．He was at his wits' end. Finally the hit upon a solution．One day he bought a popular novel and slipped a check of #20,000 in the book.Then he presented it to the minister in charge of transportation. This ministerexamined its contents，pretending he did not see the check at all．Then he said with a smile："Young man，I hear London is at its best in May. ” The sales manager, who was quick-witted, replied: "My company in London will be most honored to welcome your visit！”A short time later, the deal was approved in London！Unit8Small in size and light in weight, electronic dictionaries are convenient to use. They are easy to carry and students can take them anywhere they go. Whenever they come across a new word in reading, they can find out its meaning with the help of an electronic dictionary. An electronic dictionary usually contains the information of several paper dictionaries. When students have one such dictionary, they actually have more than one dictionary in hand. Meanwhile, electronic dictionaries are time-saving. They save student from turning pages over to find the word. Instead, they only need to key in the word and the meaning will appear on the screen. Considering all the above factors, no wonder more and more students are using electronic dictionaries nowadays.。

新视野大学英语4(第三版)读写教程b a n k e dc l o z e的答案及文章-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Unit1Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right-brain or left-brain thinker From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term1)(mentioned) numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to2)(determine) which type best describes you.Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions Over the years, a theory that has 3)(gained) in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are 4)(responsible) for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will depend on which side of his brain works more actively. People who rely more 5)(heavily) on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with 6)(artistic) ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite 7)(opposite) in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and 8)(analytical) in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills.While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been 9)(distorted) and exaggerated by popular psychology, understanding your strengths and weaknessesin certain areas can help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually 10)(stumped) in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions and developing better organizational skills.Unit2I was once in a relationship with a woman who was the most brilliant, creative and driven person I'd ever known. I told her these things often because she didn't see herself this way, despite 1)(achieving) great success and acclaim (称赞) in her professional field. She was also 2)(gorgeous) and sexy, though she seemed not to realize this either, so I told her these things too. But while I thought it was more important to praise her brilliance, it seemed to mean more to her that she was3)(considered) attractive.My experience with this girlfriend exemplifies a common phenomenon in life – when it comes to complimenting a woman, men often walk a very difficult line. Of course, 4)(context) matters. In a professional setting, talking about appearance is often inappropriate, but at a singles club, it may be important. She will be very pleased if a man thinks her clothes and 5)(accessories) are pretty, or her hair looks wonderful. However, things in between these two cases are unclear. Women have every right to be recognized and 6)(appreciated) for their intelligence and creativity. But at the same time, they want to be admired for their looks as well, for example, their perfect skin 7)(complexion) and elegant outfits.Unfortunately, most guys don't understand this. If we receive compliments from women, they're usually about our achievements, not our looks. Most of us don't expect a woman to tell us how 8)(handsome) or sexy we are, and some of us would find it hard to regard such a(n) 9)(comment) as sincere.I'm not saying it's very hard to be a guy these days. It is important for every man to understand how to treat women with both respect and 10)(admiration). But as far as the right balance of these two is concerned, we really have no frame of reference, especially when it comes to looks.Unit3In some urban centers, workaholism (工作狂) is so common that people do not consider it unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D.C., for example, 1)(frequently) work 60 to 70 hours a week. They don't do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.Workaholism can be a serious problem. True workaholics, being deeply 2)(immersed) in their work, allow themselves little or no time to take breaks. They like to work without being 3)(disrupted), and they probably don't know how to relax.But is workaholism always badPerhaps not. There are people who work well under 4)(stress). Besides, some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in their own 5)(sphere). Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their work 6)(challenges) them, keeping them busy and genuinely engaged.Why do workaholics enjoy doing their jobs so much Of course they get paychecks from it, but it is hard to 7)(quantify) the pleasure with money. It offers more than 8)(financial) security. Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity and provides them with self-confidence. People have a feeling of satisfaction when they 9)(administrate) a business well or complete a challenging piece of work. In addition, most jobs provide a socially acceptable way for people to meet others. So, though some people are compulsive (强迫性的) about their work, their 10)(addiction) seems to be a safe or even an advantageous one. They feel empty and incomplete when they are involved in activities not related to work.Unit4Farming invariably interferes with the habitats of plants and animals. However, this does not necessarily mean that agriculture and biodiversity are 1)(incompatible). In fact, quite the opposite is true. The sustainable cultivation of plants for food and feed actually enables us to 2)(preserve) biodiversity.By 2007, there were more than twice as many people living on the planet as there were in 1961. Over the same period, the total amount of 3)(available) arable (可耕的) land grew by just 10 percent. In comparison with population growth, the expansion of arable land was small. And there are limits to further expansion. A large4)(proportion) of the earth's surface – like deserts – is not suitable for cultivation, and other areas are 5) (utilized) by humans for roads and buildings. Some land that is rich in biodiversity needs to be preserved and thus should not be 6)(converted) into arable land. The tropical rain forests, for example, have the highest species density in the world, and changing this land for crop cultivation would be 7)(dreadful) to these species' habitats and, indeed, existence.By 2050, global demand for food will have risen by 70 percent. But the expansion of land available for cultivation has its limits. This is one of the greatest challenges facing agriculture today: How do we 8)(balance) the increased demand for food with the need to maintain biological diversity, now and in the future?Efficient and 9)(sane) use of land will be key to preserving natural animal and plant habitats. To achieve this aim will depend to a(n) 10)(considerable) extent on the use of modern agricultural methods. If these methods are successfully applied, we believe that agriculture and biodiversity can coexist in harmony.Unit5Stereotypes have some truth mixed in with a few generalizations. Sometimes these generalizations can be misleading as they are often based on observation of the1)(exterior) behavior of people in a certain culture. Spaghetti, pasta, mafia (黑手党), gestures, fashion – these are some words commonly used to describe Italians. How much truth is there in the stereotypeAs an Italian myself, I will give you some 2)(insights) into the Italian soul and clarify some misunderstandings that foreigners have about us.Spaghetti and pasta are sacred. You can't take pasta away from an Italian meal; otherwise it won't be 3)(complete). A typical Italian meal generally includes pasta as a starter, fish or meat with salad as the main 4)(course), followed by fruit or dessert, and then coffee. But there are considerable regional differences in Italy, and hence 5)(inconsistencies) exist between the stereotype and reality. For instance, you might find risotto (加有肉、鱼或蔬菜的调味饭) replacing pasta in some places!The Mafia is real: We are not proud of it, but it does exist, especially in the South and on the island of Sicily. Obviously, not every Italian is a member of the Mafia, and most will be 6)(offended) if you use the term, even if you are just joking.Yes, the way we speak is unique. Italians use 7)(gestures) a lot in communication. We simply cannot talk without our hands. If the hands are busy doing something else, we start moving shoulders or other parts of the body.We are also fashion victims. You can recognize Italians by the way they dress from head to toe. We wear stylish clothes and 8)(ornaments) for every possible occasion. You won't ever see an Italian wearing running shorts combined with long socks: It's simply against our 9)(sense) of style!Italy is made up of many regions and provinces which are similar in some ways and10)(distinctive) in others. The stereotype contains some truth, but being Italian takesa lot more than that.Unit6To invest in women's education and health is important for the overall welfare of the human society. The 1)(reason) for saying so is obvious, that is, women are playing important roles in modern society. The politicians who 2)(levy) taxes should know that women contribute to 40 percent of the world's production in agriculture, a quarter in industry, and a third in services. Women farmers in the developing countries grow at least 50 percent of the world's food. In addition to 3)(generating)income, women continue to take responsibilities for household activities such as childcare, cleaning and preparing food, which are sometimes not as 4)(lightweight) and easy as generally thought.Yet women's productivity remains low. Improving women's productivity can greatly benefit economic growth and poverty 5)(reduction), which are key development goals around the world. Hence, to 6)(enhance) women's status is a vital part of the World Bank's strategy for broadly based economic and human resource development.To improve women's welfare calls for the efforts of both women and men. If long-term change in the conditions of women is to be 7)(achieved), the actions and attitudes of men must change, rather than simply to 8)(emancipate) women from old conventions. Problems affecting women are often closely related to the social 9)(relationships) between men and women. For example, it is impossible to deal with women's health problems effectively through 10)(approaches) that involve only women. Many women's health problems are embedded in unequal gender relation in work loads, responsibilities for family welfare, as well as access to resources and decision-making.Unit7With environmental damage from coal- and gas-derived power already at crisis levels, even alternatives that are currently limitedly available are looking great. Wind power, an energy source that costs far less than nuclear and coal power and contributes no toxic 1)(particulates) to the environment, seems to many of us highly 2)(viable) and ideal.But there are people who 3)(disagree) and are fighting the installation of new wind turbines. They 4)(cite) bird deaths as an unacceptable side-effect of wind-generated power. Through various forms of protests, they hope to save huge numbers of birds from death at the 5)(rotary) blades of massive wind turbines.No one really knows how many birds die each year as a result of the growing wind power industry. Most studies focus on only one or two wind farms. Yet, published studies suggest that wind farms 6)(vary) considerably in the risk they pose to birds. Some wind turbines don't appear to kill any birds, while others are believed to kill as many as 40 birds per turbine per year. Though these reports tell us 7)(little) about the total number of birds killed, they do tell us that steps can be taken when constructing wind power turbines to 8)(minimize) their impact on birds. For example, wind farms should not be built on bird migration routes. Wind turbines should be erected in ways to avoid 9)(locating) blades at a height where birds tend to fly. Wind towers should be 10)(designed) carefully to prevent birds from sitting or resting on them. Some reports even argue that well-planned wind power can actually save many birds if it is used increasingly to replace power generation from fossil fuels.Unit8Karen was a young mother working as a clerk at a court in North Carolina. Though she had been trained in criminal justice, she quickly found prisons and courts to be 1)(depressing) places to work. When her daughter was born, she had to stay at home and be a full-time mother. At that point, she decided to 2)(figure) out what she really wanted to do with her life. She knew that she liked office jobs and didn't intend to give up her own career development, but she also enjoyed the 3)(flexibility) of staying home and raising her daughter. Therefore, it seemed that she just couldn't find anything that could satisfy these two 4)(seemingly) conflicting conditions.One day, Karen read in the newspapers that a couple 5)(sued) their babysitter for abusing their child. It turned out that the babysitter had a long criminal record. Karen couldn't 6)(imagine) hiring someone to watch her child without doing a thorough investigation about that person's background. This 7)(sparked) a brilliant idea. Karen decided to do something to save other parents' children from 8)(suffering) the same fate. And this job didn't require her to leave her home. The next day she got her hometown paper and looked at the ads placed by parents seeking babysitters. She called them and sent them 9)(leaflets) to offer her baby-sitting services. Several of them jumped at it. Her business was born and has continued to grow.That was 15 years ago. Karen was recently named one of the top 10 business women in North Carolina and has even appeared on Oprah's talk show. Asked about the secret of her success, she emphasized that it was because she was 10)(passionate) about what she really wanted to do. In addition, Karen mentioned that patience and persistence were vital to her achievements.。

[10]The Doctrine of the Mean is the core of Confucianism. The so-called “mean” by Confucius doesn’t mean “compromise”but a “moderate” and “just-right” way when understanding and handling objective things. Confucius advocated that this thought should not only be treated as away to understand and deal with things but also be integrated into one’s dailyconduct to make it a virtue through self-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core of Confucianism but also an important component of traditional Chinese culture.

Trouble with a criminal.参考答案：11) C 12) B 13) D 14) D 15) C听力文本：A lawyer friend of mine, Patricia, has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. They have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to the people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees? It is unfair if these people cannot get the legal help they need.Public interest lawyers, who also have had expensive and highly specialized training, fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty goods. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened to be driven out of their homes and have no place to go. Their cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases.Q 11: What is this passage about?Q 12: What is unfair according to the speaker?Q 13: What can be inferred from this passage?Q 14: What do we know from this passage?Q 15: What is an example of a civil case?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear. When the passage is read for the third time, check what you have written.That day, the sun was 20) shining , but the weather suddenly changed. 21) As we were walking between the two circles, it started raining very hard.

We went outside the restaurant to see what was happening. People seemed shocked.A huge flood was 24) streaming down the mountain. We were standing on a higher place, so we could see everything. We were scared. Cars, rocks, and people were floating on the water like little toys toward the little market at the south end of the circle. The height of the water was almost to the top of the trees.After a few minutes, the flood's flow was reduced, so we decided to leave the area before the water entered the street we were on.It was reported that the flood 25) destroyed a big area and approximately 300 people were killed or disappeared that day.

But be careful who you take advice from, because the workplace is changing very fast right now. As the new generation makes its voice heard at work, a lot of the old rules no longer apply. Here are two job-hunting rules that will hold you back if you're not careful:Bad Rule No. 1: Draw a clear picture of yourself. A résumé is not supposed to give the story of your life; it's a marketing document. So the goal is not to tell every single thing about yourself, but rather to get an interview. And the best way to land an interview is to make the employer want to find out more about you.Bad Rule No. 2: Don't be too narrow. If you're not narrow, then what are you selling? Think about cars. Is a BMW the car that meets every need for every person? Is a Saturn the car for high-end and low-end markets? You're no different from a car. You can't be everything to everyone.Q 11: What is the passage about?Q 12: What can we infer from the passage?Q 13: What does the author think about résumés?Q 14: What is the best way to get an interview?Q 15: In what sense are people like cars?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

Because school is out and the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spots.Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles to camp out in comfort, while others "rough it" by sleeping in tents.Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation's border. Why? For one thing, it's cheaper than traveling abroad, and there's no language problem. Besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly" vacation resorts offer special programs for children. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations". These trips allow them to observe plants and flowers closely without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or rafting. Daring tourists get the thrill of a lifetime on expeditions in remote places from Africa to Asia.Q 11: What is the passage mainly about?Q 12: Which of the following is true of traveling in recreational vehicles?Q 13: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why Americans prefer to travel within the United States?Q 14: Which of the following is true of America, according to the passage?Q 15: How can environmentalists benefit from "green vacations"?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptM:Scentists claim the world population has 99.5% of the same DNA.W: But this doesn’t tell us there is no such thing as race.Q: What is true of the DNA of difference races?2.ScriptW: With the advent of the genetic map we know where everything is, but do we know where to go with it?M: Your map seems to differ largely from my geographical map!Q: What does the man imply?3.ScriptM: As you know, it has taken millions of years of evolution and natural selection to get us where we are today.W: Yes, but now that we have genetic engineering, we seem to have decided that we want to be God.Q: What does the woman imply?4.ScriptM: I think the research into cloning will lead us into dangers, filling us with false hopes of perfection.W: It’s too late to turn back the clock. We’ll just have to depend on common sense to solve uncommon problems.Q: What does the woman mean?5.ScriptW: In America, many prisoners are having their cases reviewed, and some have even been freed through DNA testing.M: Except for the ones whose death sentence has already been carried out.Q: What can we learn about DNA testing from the dialog?Keys: 1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.CIII. Listening InTask 1: Stem Cell ResearchScriptGregory: The Republican party in America is opposing stem cell research. I find ithard to believe that in this day and age, someone would do that.Lillian: Stem cell research sounds pretty impressiv e, I’ll admit. But just what is it? Gregory: Well, a stem cell is a special type of cell. It is a general cell that, when it devides, can become any specific type of cell.Lillian: You mean, a stem cell can become a heart cell? Or a brain or a kidney cell? Gregory: That’s about it. Stem cells are a part of the body’s maintenance and r epair system. When they divide, they can become any cell type.Lillian: I guess there would be some tremendous medical advantages in that sort of research.Gregory: You’ve said a mouthful. Recently, scientists were able to help a man who lost a jawbone for cancer. They recreated bone material for his jaw from stemcells. What it means is that since the new bone was created out of theperson’s own c ells, there was no problem with rejection because the DNAwas the same.Lillian: I bet the person was delighted. Why would anyone oppose that sort of research? It would seem to have endless potential to benefit the human race. Gregory: I agree, but there are people who think we should not interfere with nature and manipulate “what is natural”.Lillian: It’s easier to hold such a narrow view if you’re not in a position to need the benefits of the research. If you’re missing a jawbone because of cancer, youprobably support the research.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Who is against stem cell research?3.What is special about a stem cell?4.When can a stem cell become another cell type?5.According to the passage, why do some people oppose stem cell research? Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.A 4.A 5.DTask 2: The Improvement of RiceScriptScientists now know a lot more about a grain that people have eaten for ten thousand years. (S1 Research teams around the world have completed a map of the (S2 genes of rices. The findings appeared last week in the (S3 journal Nature.The aim is to speed up the improvement of rice. The scientists (S4 warn that the kinds of rice plants used now have reached the limit of their (S5 productivity. Yet world rice production must (S6 grow by an estimated 30 percent in the next twenty to meet demand. By 2025, as many as 4.6 billion people will depend on rice for (S7 survival. There is a lot of pressure on breeders to improve the crop, and the rice genome is a valuable tool to do that. (S8 Plant breeders have already used preliminary information from the rice genome to create experimental strains of ricethat better resist cold and pests.The researchers also say rice is an excellent choice for genetic mapping and engineering. Rice genes have only about 390 million chemical bases. That maight sound like a lot. But other major food grains have thousands of millions. (S9 The new map could better explain more than just rice. Rice shares a common ancestor with other cereal crops. Because rice is the first cereal crop to be fully analyzed, researchers expect that sufficient knowledge of its genetic information will reveal the heredity of more complex grains, including corn, wheat and barley.(S10 While significant progress has been made in the analysis of the rice genome, the mapping of human genes is also making headway. When scientists can identify and manipulate genes that cause certain diseases, mankind will cure them easily. The human genetic map may help us control a person’s height, w eight, appearance and even length of life.Task3: The First Cloned CatScriptIn the age-old battle of cats and dogs, score one for the cats. Researchers at TexasA&M University recently announced that they have successfully cloned a cat name Rainbow—the first pet ever cloned—after several years of unsuccessful efforts to clone a dog name Missy.The ork, financed by a company hoping to provide pet-cloning services to wealthy owners, adds cats to a growing list of successfully cloned animals that includes pigs, sheep, cattle and mice.The success demonstrates cloning is a technology that could be transferred to other animal families as well. The accomplishment may provide new tools for studying diseases such as cats’ AIDS, a valuable research model for AIDS in humans. Research into animal cloning remains an important scientific alternative until the issue of human cloning is settled. And that seems unlikly in the immediate future, for it involves religious and moral principles. There are, for example, groups that insist no one should be allowed to take on the role of God the Creator.To create cloned cat embryos for the experiment, researchers transferred DNA from adult cat cells into egg cells stripped of their own genetic information. Out of 82 attempts with cloned embryos, one attempt resulted in a failed pregnancy, and another yielded a kitten named CC, delivered from a surroga te mother on December 22. The kitten’s name refers to “Carbon Copy” and “Copycat”, the name of the cloning project.Cloning attempts with dogs have proven unsuccessful in part becausedogs’reproductive cycles are more complicated.The technique may also work with endangered cats such as the African wildcat, fishing cat and blackfooted cat.Ironically, the increased knowledge of cat reproduction may best be suited fordeveloping cat contraceptives to control the U.S. cat population.1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?1.What did researchers at Texas A&M University recently announce?2.Which animals are NOT mentioned in the passage as having been cloned?3.According to the passage, why is human cloning unlikely to happen in the nearfuture?4.What does the passage say about the pregnancy and birth in cat cloning?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.CIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Why are people protesting againstgenetically modified foods?Susan: With so many people suffering from malnutrition around the world, why are people protesting against genetically modified foods?Chris: Some people are protesting about genetically modified foods, but even more people are protesting the fact that processed foods containing these ingredients aren’t labeled.Susan: But why should they be labeled?Chris: Not everyone is sure that genetically modified foods are safe. They want to be certain that biotech foods have the sme composition as organic foods. Susan: But there are more urgent problems in this world. Many people are dying of starvation.Chris: But those who aren’t starving may want genetically modified foods to be labeled so they know what foods they should andd shouldn’t eat.Susan: Y ou know, I heard of a genetically modified fish that grew to be ten times its normal size.Chris: That sure sounds abnormal.Susan: Yeah, it does sound a bit strange , but that fish could feed ten times as many people.Chris: You’re right; genetically modified food might help solve world hunger. But I think we have a right to know what we are eating.MODEL2 Do you think the cloning of humansshould be forbidden by law?ScriptSusan: After the cloning of Dolly the sheep, I think human cloning is next.John: Whoa. I have some reservations about it. There are stll many scientific problemsto solve before human cloning starts.Susan: There’s an easier way. The Clonaid Company says they’ve cloned humans. John: Oh, my God! These guys claim aliens from another planet taught them human cloning.Susan: A woman gave them half a million dollars to clone her dead daughter. John: Clearly that woman doesn’t know much about cloning. How r isky it is! Susan: I knowit’s inefficient. It took 276 tries to produce Dolly. But why is it risky? John: Cloned animals grow abnormally large and age unnaturally fast.Susan: In other words, that woman may not be happy with her cloned daughter. John: Then there are the emotions. No one knows if cloning damages the mind. Susan: Do you think the cloning of humans should be forbidden by law?John: To my mind, t he cloning of human organs shouldn’t be prohabited. It may help solve medical problems.Susan: I see your point: cloning should be regulated if it’s to benefit humanity.MODEL3 Is it interfering with nature?ScriptNora: Some religious groups are opposed t o genetic research. They believe it’s interfering with nature.John: I know. But nature can be pretty hard-nosed too, so we often need to interfere with her—we build dams to control flooding.Nora: There’re many diseases that are a part of nature, and they cause people a great deal of misery: cancer and diabetes, for example.John: A better understanding of the genetic code that controls our body would be a great help in curing many diseases.Nora: The project to map the human genetic code…what’s that calle d?John: The genome project. As you say, it has tremendous promise to make our lives better—just in the ability to identify and correct genetically-caused diseases like Alzheimer’s.Nora: Some diseases like cancer are also believed to have a genetic switch.John: That’s right, and once researchers identify the switch, perhaps they can turn of f cancer or Alzheimer’s.Nora: People are also concerned that science will enable us to determine such qualities as intelligence and height.John: You know it’s going to happen—it’s just a matter of when.Nora: Imagine if everyone was a combination of Yao Ming and Albert Einstein. John: But what if they get it wrong, and you wind up with Yao Ming’s knowledge of nuclear physics and Albert Einstein’s height?Nora: All those religious groups would say that it served you right.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGJane: Some countries are suffering from crop failure and famine, but why do they refuse genetically modified crops and foods?Bob: And many Europeans insist that processed foods containing GM ingredients be labeled.Jane: Why should they be labeled?Bob: Not everyone is sure that genetically modified foods are safe. They want to certain that biotech foods have the same composition as traditional foods. Jane: But there are more urgent problems in this world. Many people are dying of famine.Bob: But tho se who aren’t hungry may want all genetically modified products to be labeled so they know exactly what they’re eating.Jane: You know, I’ve heard of a GM fish that was ten times larger than a normal fish. Bob: That really sounds abnormal.Jane: Some famine-stricken people are afraid GM crops will overpower and eliminate their native crops.Bob: Sounds alarming.Jane: Yeah, but GM foods can feed many people.Bob: You’re r ight; they could solve the problem of starvation in the world. But I think we have a right to know what we are eating. GM food should be labeled. V. Let’s TalkScriptCorrespondent: In the U.S. what percentage of people support biotech crops? Anddo those who support biotech crops also eat biotech foods? Whatpercentage of food on the market has genetically modifiedingredients?Professor: U.S. consumers have been exposed to a very effective anti-biotechnology propaganda campaign for the last few years, butaccording to polls, over 70% support biotechnology. For example, ina recent referendum in Oregon, voters rejected a proposal to requirespecial labels on all products containing biotech ingredients by anoverwhelming 73% to 27%. That’s probably because c onsumersknow that we have an effective administrative system. Many mayalso know that 70-80% of the processed food products onsupermarket shelves contain one or more ingredients from biotechcrops. All Americans eat biotech foods unless they deliberately seekout products that are labeled otherwise. Evidence suggests that thisis less than 5% of consumers.Correspondent: Chinese scientists have used biotechnology to create a new type of tomato, which contains the vaccine against hepatitis B. What’s yourtake on this?Professor: It’s a great example of how this technology can be used to save lives, ease pain and suffering and improve the human condition. How cananyone be opposed to that? My only hope is that the clinical trials ofthis new tomato go well, and that it is quickly delivered tohealth-care providers who will use it to vaccinate people againsthepatitis. By the way, please note that I do think that such newpharmaceutical foods need to be handled as medicines byprofessionals and not as conventional foods. You will never seethese tomatoes in the supermarket. In a sense, the tomato plant isjust being used to manufacture a vaccine in a very safe andeconomical manner.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Confident enough to control your fate?ScriptSome people are born with the belief that they are masters of their own lives. Others feel they are at the mercy of fate. New research shows that part of those feelings are in the genes.Psychologists have long known that people confident in their ability to control their fates are more likely to adjust well to growing old than those who feel they drift on the currents of fate.Two researchers who questioned hundreds of Swedish twins report that such confidence, or lack of it, is partly genetic and partly drawn from experience.They also found that the belief in blind luck—a conviction that chance plays a big role in life—is something learned in life and has nothing to do with heredity.The research was conducted by Nancy Pedersen, a professor of psychology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. The results were recently published in the United States in the Journal of Gerontology.People who are confident of their ability to control their lives have an “internal locus of contro l”, and have a better chance of being well adjusted in their old age, said Pedersen. An “external locus of control”,believing that outside for ces determine the course of life, has been linked to depression in latter years, she said.“We are trying to unde rstand what makes people different. What makes some people age slowly and others have a more difficult time?” she said.The study showed that while people have an inborn tendency toward independence and self-confidence, about 70 percent of this personality trait is affected by a person’s environment and lifetime experiences.Pedersen’s studies, with various collaborators, investigate the aging pr ocess by comparing sets of twins, most of whom were separated at an early age.The subjects were drawn from a list first compiled about 30 years ago, registering all twins born in Sweden since 1886. The complete list, which was extended in 1971, has 95,000 sets of twins.1.Which of the following is concerned with blind luck?2.Which of the following is related to an external locus of control?3.According to the passage, what is true of one’s inborn tendency towardsself-confidence?4.What subjects were mostly use d in Pedersen’s studies?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: Is it moral to clone humans?ScriptLaura: Did you hear about that peculiar cult that claimed to have created the world’s first human clone?Ian: Yeah, I did! They also said that it was aliens that created life on earth over 25,000 years ago. What are they on?Laura: I know! It was so obviously just part of an elaborate hoax to bring publicity to their crazy movement. But I don’t think the truth can be fa r off. Scientists have been working on it for years.Ian: Sure, but most scientists are working on cloning human cells or body parts that can be used to repair or replace damaged organs. Not complete human beings! That’s just science fiction!Laura: Well, the science may seem to be very advanced, but the idea is not a new one.In A Journey to the West, Sun Wu-kung, the Monkey King, can clone himself from the hairs on his head. He just plucks a few hairs, chews them a bit, and when he spits them out, they change into replicas of him!Ian: Really? Now that would be cool! You could send your clone to school while you went to the cinema, and then it could do your homework! Wow! Now thatI think of it, it would be kind of fun to have a clone!Laura: You would say that! Don’t you think it’s slightly immoral? I mean, it’s just like having a slave. Doesn’t the clone deserv e a life of his own?Ian: Sure, but human beings must learn to strike a balance between the welfare ofa patient and of a clone.Keys: 1.T 2.T 3.F 4.F 5.TTask3: A Drunkard’s ArgumentScriptHere’s drunkard’s argument in favor of heavy drinking.We would learn more about human bihavior if we paid closer attention to the laws at work in the animal kingdom.“Only the fittest survive” is a law that is apparent everywhere in the natural world. Human beings could certainly benefit from a close study of how this law operates among, for example, the wild buffalo.A herd of buffalo moves only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest animals at the back that are killed first. This is naturalselection, and it is good for the herd. The general speed and health of the group keeps improving with regular killing of the weaker memebers.The same process of survival of the fittest is to be observed by looking closely at the human brain, which can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive consumption of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells. Just like the less vigorous buffalo at the back of the herd, the weakest and slowest brain cells are destroyed first. In this way the principles of natural selection become evident. Regular consumption of large amounts of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. It is therefore not suprising that one also feels smarter after drinking several glasses of beer.News ReportBioinformaticsScriptIt’s a complex name for a complex subject. Bioinformatics is the key to figuring out the wealth of information in the human genome project.Researchers have nearly mapped out all of the 30,000 genes that make up human DNA, but making sense of useful data is not easy.The company Double Twist is a pioneer in the business of bioinformatics. [SOUND BITE]Double Twist works mainly with information that is also available to thepublic,sifting through data to find what may help link a biological problem like cancer, to its possible cure.[SOUND BITE]The company then sells software and data to pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and academic institutions, which use them in their work. This provides a solution to help people better understand data from the human genome project. [SOUND BITE]Bioinformatics speeds up drug development and provides more accurate research.[SOUND BITE]Human Genome Sciences takes the process one step further. It uses bioinformatics to develop drugs using its own genomic information.[SOUND BITE]Right now, Human Genome Sciences has four new drugs being tested that are the results of genomic research. Bioinformatics systems developed within the company played an important role in discovering these drugs.[SOUND BITE]Bioinformatics can also bring much quicker returns for investors.[SOUND BITE]Even though its role is crucial, bioinformatics if only a small part of the overall $305 billion biotech sector, accounting for only about $2.23 billion. But some investors believe that bioinformatics has great potential. ［SOUND BITE］ So unless drug companies start developing their own bioinformatics systems or partner with companies that can provide them, they may get left behind in the race to discover new drugs.。
