11-12.2大英2 重修考试练习题第一. Reading Comprehension阅读理解题Passage one. The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching(投掷) stones was a favorite children’s game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines(藤). Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed(塞满) with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.1. The ball was probably invented because _________.A) throwing stones often caused injuries.B) throwing stones was not fun.C) games with stones did not have rules.D) rocks were too heavy to throw.2. The first balls were probably made of _______.A) animal skins stuffed with rocks.B) twists of hayC) hides(兽皮)stuffed with hay or feathers.D) grass and leaves tied with vines.3. This selection says that the Egyptians played _________.A) many different games with balls.B) many different kinds of gamesC) only one ball gameD) different games with similar rules4. The Egyptians thought that ball playing was __________.A)childish B)difficultC)not enjoyable D)worthwhile5. The best title for this selection is ___________.A) The First Ball GamesB) How Egyptian Children Played GamesC) Egyptian SportsD) The Beginning of SportsPassage TwoThe sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.Noise adds more tension(紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress.But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots(四轮马车)from moving through the streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days”of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise —if we shout loudly enough about it .6. Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?A) Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.B) Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C) Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings..D) Because people knew little about noise before.7. What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think?A) We may forget what we have thought about.B) Our thoughts may be disturbed.C) Our mind may be harmed.D) We may have difficulty finding the right words.8. When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that ______.A) our society is becoming much worse than beforeB) in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet lifeC) the old days were much happier than the present timeD) it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before9. From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that _____.A) we can put noise under control if we take effective measuresB) sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear usC) shouting is a chief cause of noise pollution nowadaysD) it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Only recently did people realize the harmful effect of noise.B) Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.C) People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.D) The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.参考答案1.

His secretary requested a 10% salary raise.The problem was that 10% was a large raise compared to the 5% other employees had received. Was there a win-win（双赢）way out of this problem?As they looked at the possibilities, several ideas appeared. The company starts work at 8 am and closes at 5 pm. The manager learned that his secretary got caught in heavy traffic every evening on the way home. They agreed to have her work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. This saved her at least 20-25 minutes driving time, a benefit to her at little or no loss to the company.They then studied her job in detail. Before long they jointly developed a new idea which gave her more responsibilities, and, at the same time, more interesting work.Both parties benefitted from the changed arrangement of work. The raise itself was then discussed. A decision was made by agreeing on a 6% raise for three months and then an additional 12% later if the new responsibilities were properly performed.1. What was the department secretary’s request?A) A better work environment.B) A change of job position.C) A challenging task.D) A salary raise.2. The salary raise for the other employees was .A) 2 percent B) 5 percentC) 6 percent D) 10 percent3. According to the passage, to achieve a win-win result the company agreed to .A) give the secretary fewer responsibilitiesB) allow the secretary to work from homeC) change the secretary’s work timeD) reduce the secretary’s work load4. According to the last paragraph, the secretary may have an additional 2% salary raiseif .A) she can perform her new responsibilities wellB) the company offers her a higher positionC) she agrees to change her work scheduleD) the company makes more profits5. Who will benefit from the new arrangement of work?A) All the employees in the company.B) The company and the secretary.C) The company only.D) The secretary herself.Passage TwoWhen Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious，“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．This factor is exercise．in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．6．The Vienna survey may help to explain _____A．the complaints of people in apartment houses B．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s death C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger D. the image of cities in general7．The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____A．benefits of walking B．occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city people D．problems of city living8．To reach the third floor of a building．it would probably be most healthful __A. to take the elevator B．to walk up the stairsC．to ride in a car D．to find an alternative to walking9．People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __A．they don’t live near business areas B. they don’t need the exerciseC．they never have parking problems D．they can’t affo rd to take the bus10. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that _A．air pollution is not serious B．anyone can live to be 107C．country people should move to the city D．walking is a healthful exercisePassage ThreeFor any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家)．Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations．Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand．There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not，of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare’s day．11. English people ______A．have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC．are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist12．Every Englishman knows ______A．more or less about Shakespeare B．Shakespeare，but only slightlyC．all Shakespeare’s writings D．only the name of the greatest English writer 13．Which of the following is true?A．We use all the words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings．B．Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English．C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare14．What does the word “proverb” mean?A．Familiar sayings B．Shakespeare’s plays．C．Complaints．D．Actors and actresses．15．Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English? A．English words have cha nged a lot since Shakespeare’s time．B．By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usageIII. 单句翻译1、我们不仅尊重父母，而且我尽力不辜负他们的期望。

With the development of our society, the campus no longer is an "Ivory Tower". It is necessary for college students to go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus(因此) they can adapt to society more quickly after they graduate from school. Science and technology are developing rapidly with each passing day. Most students can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to the radio, reading newspapers and using computers. It’s also good to take a part-time job, such as tutoring(辅导), or working in a restaurant. Any of these methods will enable students to get in touch with society. Summer vacation will soon be here. I’ve already enrolled(登记) to be a volunteer to help others. I think I can do well. Although I won’t be paid, the most important thing is that I can learn a lot about society.

Reading Comprehension（1）One day a famous writer was walking along the shore before he began his work. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”The young man paused, looking up and replied, “Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”“But, young man, don’t you realize that there ar e miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. Y ou can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural abilityto make a difference.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.1.Before he began writing, the famous writer was ________.A)enjoying the scene on the beachB)going swimming in the oceanC)having a walk and picking up starfish on the beachD)taking a walk along the shore2.The famous writer found a young man ________.A)trying to save as many starfish as possibleB)walking along the beach.C)picking up starfish for saleD)dancing along the beach3.In the last paragraph, “our starfish”refers to ________.A)our ability to have an effect on the futureB)the strength of imagesC)starfish that the young man threw back to the oceanD)the ability to make decisions4.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A)The young man was unaware of his ability to make a difference for starfish.B)The young man disagreed with the famous writer on the subject of starfish.C)The famous writer thought it impossible to save any of the starfish on the beach.D)The famous writer and the young man shared the same opinion on the subject of starfish.5.This passage tells us that ________.A)young people are actually wiser than older peopleB)all of us can help to shape our futureC)famous men are sometimes stupidD)everyone of us is clever（2）There are two men in important positions in my office—Mr. Thompson and Mr. White. Everyone enjoys working with Mr. Thompson, but no one likes Mr. White.Mr. Thompson is always thoughtful and considerate. When he wants something done, he’ll ask, “Would you mind getting this information for me, please?” Mr. White is just the opposite. He usually shouts across the room, “Get me the memorandum, and hurry up.”Mr. White surprised us this morning, though. At first we thought he must be sick. He was king a nd agreeable. “Miss Erickson,” he asked, “If it’s not too much trouble for you, could you make these telephone calls for m, please?” June Erickson was astonished. Right after that, Mr. White sad, “Miss Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window? It’s quite warm in here.” Then he talked to me. “I’d appreciate it very much if you’d mail these letters for me.”We couldn’t imagine why he was behaving so strangely. Should we offer him aspirin? Or had Mr. White changed his personality?The situation w as soon cleared up. “Ladies,” Mr. Thompson said, “I’ve been told that the president of the company will be here soon.

A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties. She might have seven or eight children, and four or five of them lived till they were five years old. When the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties. After this, she could hardly find any work to make money because of the few opportunities and poor health. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five. She may live another thirty-five years and take paid work until sixty.This important change in women’s lives has also changed women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never came back to it. Today, the school leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age. As women marry younger, more married women will only leave work just before their first child is born, and ma ny of them come back to work soon after. Such changes have made the family life different from before, with the husband having more duties and satisfactions of family life11.Around 1900, women probably got married at the age of __________.A)15B)19C)20D)2512.The text tells us that in the nineteenth century __________.A)the mother would be in her early fifties when the children were bornB)a woman usually had five childrenC)the youngest child would live till he or she was five years oldD)4 or 5 children out of 7 or 8 died before they were six years old13.A mother at the end of the nineteenth century would have difficulty in finding work_________.A)because she wanted to make moneyB)when her youngest child was bornC)because she was forty-five years oldD)when her youngest child was about fifteen14.One reason why today’s mothers take jobs again is that they __________.A)want to live another thirty-five yearsB)don’t like children themselvesC)needn’t worry about money for the familyD)are still young when the youngest child is fifteen15.One difference between the women today and those a few years ago is that ________.A)today’s women marry very youngB)many women today stop working as soon as they get marriedC)today’s women have only one childD)many women today start to work again after their first child is born（4）Long long ago, there was no money. It was hard for people to get the things they needed. They couldn’t just go to a store. First they had to find someone who had what they wanted. Then they had to give that person something he or she wanted. That’s how goods were traded.Trading means giving something to get something else. One farmer might have many apples, but no milk. Another farmer might have a lot of milk, but no apples. The first farmer gives the other farmer some apples. The other farmer gives the first farmer some milk for the apples. Then both are glad.Trading goods was hard work. It took a lot of time. Soon someone thought of using money instead of goods. In the old days money could be anything. People have used shells, little rocks, gold, and silver as money.Later, coins were used as money. The first coins were made of gold and silver. Now they are made out of many different metals. Money today is also made out of something that can be folded. It’s made out of paper. Today mo st of our money is bills.Most people do some kind of work to get money. With that money, they can buy the things they want and need. This could be food, a car, or a trip. They can also save some. They would do this by putting it in a bank. Then they would have it later on to pay for things like their children’s schooling. Money is very important.16.The passage mainly tells about money’s___.A)importanceB)convenienceC)functionD)history17.In a store today people can___.A)get something by giving something elseB)give things to those who want themC)find those who need the goodsD)get things by paying bills18.Which of the following objects can be bent?A)CoinsB)ShellsC)RocksD)Bills19.“They can also save some”in the last paragraph means___.A)they can keep their goods from being damagedB)they can keep some goods they needC)they can keep money from getting rottenD)they can keep some money for later use20.According to this passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT that___.A) money is very important in tradeB)with the development of trade money appearedC)today money can be made of paper or metalsD)at first goods were traded with money（5）Advertising is one of the biggest businesses in America.

Being 21, it is no wonder you are eager to begin your own discovery of the world, to make your own choices and achievements. I think the main reason your families are making it so hard for you is that you are their baby. They want to keep you under their protection as long as they can, and since they have always given you extra special care, they are afraid you won’ t be able to make it without their support.But I think you can and will make it on your own. If you have a good job now, you are already building up the skills and experience you’ll need to find another better job. All it takes is self-confidence, the willingness to face up to any difficulties you meet with and the courage to face up to your family and prove them wrong.In today’s China there are more chances than perhaps ever before.

The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes."Only one man wrote like that," the librarian said to himself. "It was Galileo who wrote these notes!"Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not onlylonger. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo's notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo's experiments were saved.31.The librarian got Galileo's notes from __D__.A the butcherB VivianiC a family living in Viviani's houseD the market near Viviani's house32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true?

One night all mechanical sounds stopped briefly; immediately half the people in the neighborhood awoke, sat upright, and exclaimed: "What was that?"also causes increased muscular tension, which at night may deprive the body of rest.Experiments have shown that 160 decibels of noise are fatal for small fur-bearing animals. Although equal exposure is not fatal to man, it may destroy hearing. Over the past thirty years the loudest sounds to which man has been exposed have increased from 120 decibels, the equivalent of the roar of a two-engine propeller plane, to 150 decibels, the blast of a four-engine jet. This is an average increase in volume of one decibel a year, and constitutes a potentially dangerous source of physical damage.36.The story about a Long Island suburb is retold in order to show that __A____.A we may find it easier to fall asleep in noisy surroundingsB contrary to popular belief, mechanical sounds are bearableC nowadays suburbs are not just as quiet as we expectD noise pollution has become a very serious problem37.The author refers to noise as ___C___.A an undesirable waste productB an unnecessary mechanical soundC a source of mental illnessD a measurement of the intensity of sound waves38.Noise may interfere with man's sleep by ___B___.A causing him to have terrible dreamsB distracting his attentionC increasing his muscular tensionD keeping him restless39.Sounds of 160 decibels may __A____.A be the loudest man can imageB do physical damage to manC cause certain small animals to dieD Both B and C.40.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to __A____.A draw our attention to the importance of controlling noiseB show that man has more tolerance than animals when exposed to noiseC give a brief introduction to sound measurementD illustrate that noise is a by-product of modernizationPassage ThreeIn recent years, large numbers of people are living a single life, at least temporarily, for this reason or other. However, they are often pressured to marry by their families and friends, who regard single adults as irresponsible and unfortunate.Rose and Bill talk about the frustrations and disagreements. Rose has quarreled with her family. Her parents continually ask her why she doesn’t get married and have been putting pressure onusually find him dates even if he doesn’t want them. They introduce him to new people as the eligible bachelor. Sometimes Rose and Bill feel they might be better off financially if they each found a marriage partner. They know that two people living together and earning two salaries can afford more than a single person can. They also know about the income tax advantages that married couples enjoy. However, for the moment, each of them is committed to remaining single.Young people feel man pressures not to get married. Rose has a very good job at the bank and there is a possibility of a promotion in the near future. A promotion means a higher salary and more responsibility.She questions whether she can combine success in business with marriage.

Both demand a great amount of time and work.Bill, too, is hesitant about getting married because of his active social life. He has many friends and is out with one of them almost every night.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves, his host will tell him "You will be welcome again". These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.31. The contradiction of the Swedes can be found in ____.A) their strictness in social activities and friendliness in entertaining guestsB) their conserved attitude towards social relationships and openness to initiative ideasC) their clearly set social patterns and enthusiasm about big partiesD) their specific ritual and concern about good manners32."Invariably" in the second paragraph can be best replaced with ___.A) "often" B) "usually" C) "sometimes" D) "always"33. It cannot be inferred from the passage that the Swedes are ____.A) hard-working B) polite C) considerate D) efficient34. According to the passage, the Swedish social ritual doesn’t include ____.A) greetings B) bows C) handshaking D) embraces35. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) People can hear the priest more clearly with the hearing aids in the church.B) The Swedes' homes are among the best equipped ones in the world.C) Travelers will be most satisfied when travelling in Sweden.D) It's very convenient to make a call in booths in Sweden.Passage TwoAuthor Steven Pincker, a scholar of linguistics, maintained thattraditional anthropology (人类学) has done humanity a great harm by focusing on the odd, unreasonable elements in human society. This has distorted our understanding of each other, separating us into the known and unknown, whatever our perspectives.Pincker’s point is well taken. He argues that should an extraterrestrial (外星人), for example, land on planet earth she would be struck not by these differences, which would be invisible to her, but by how much alike we all are. She would hear us speak, run human speech through her PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), and learn that all human speeches have nouns, verbs and modifiers. Each one of the 800 or so human languages has ways to express relative location (English uses avast array of prepositions for this purpose; other languages use case markers, or post-positional words, like Japanese). All languages express what is past, what is happening at the moment, and has ways to predict or plan future action. All have words and phrases to express hope and hopelessness, passion and friendship, anger and negotiation and apology. The extraterrestrial would say we all speak dialects of one common language.Pincker has noted that there are emotional and cultural universals that stretch across races, across national borders, with differences only in the slightest sense. All cultures value beauty, and a beautiful baby or woman or man is recognized as such whether African, Asian or European. All cultures cherish families and punish crime, and define crime in fairly similar ways.36.Pincker thinks traditional anthropology has laid too much emphasis on____.A) the differences among human beingsB) the similarities among human racesC) the differences between the human and the extraterrestrialD) the similarities between the human and the extraterrestrial37. According to Pinker, if the extraterrestrial comes to earth, ____.A) she will be impressed by the odd and dark sides of human beingsB) human beings tend to treat her in an odd and hostile wayC) she will first notice the common points in all human beingsD) she will be strongly impressed by the language of English and Japanese38. Which of the following point about human languages is NOT mentioned in the passage?A) They all have ways to express relative locations.B) They all have ways to express time.C) They all have ways to describe family and crime.D) They all have ways to describe feels.39. Pincker will most probably agree that ____.A) if we behave like the extraterrestrial, we can be happier and more contentedB) different peoples have different standards about beautyC) different languages on the earth are dialects of one common languageD) if we notice more of the common parts among human beings, we can live a morepeaceful life40. The author's attitude towards Pincker's theory is ____.A) critical B) ironical C) objective D) negativePassage ThreeMany people try every means to make themselves look younger and more attractive. Some even go under the surgeon’s knife to achieve the state of grace. Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is called cosmetic surgery, which is becoming more and more popular in the world nowadays.Both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to facelifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting artificial parts into their bodies ) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job. These operations are not without dangers, however.One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the dark bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, “When he sta rted cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.” She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat underneath myeyes. It took about ten minute s. After he finished, I felt I couldn’t walk. I was so faint.” Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.Liposuction, taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuum cleaner is then turned on, and the fat is sucked right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is no t evenly done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.” Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.41. People spend money on cosmetic surgery because_____.A. it is become more and more popular in the world nowadaysB. it can keep them look youngC. it can help them keep their jobsD. both B to C42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cosmetic surgery can help people achieve the state of grace.B. Cosmetic surgery is not dangerous.C. Cosmetic surgery is a way to make people look younger by an operation.D. Both women and men try cosmetic surgery to hide their age.43. What can we learn form the third paragraph?A. This was an implant operation.B. The young woman was against cosmetic surgery. the young woman got.C. There were some side effects of the cosmetic surgery the young woman got.D. The young woman got an injection and didn’t know what happened during theoperation.44. What does not mention about Liposuction?A. Fat is taken out of the body.B. A small cut is made over your body.C. Artificial fat is put into the body.D. Fat is sucked out of body through a small pipe.45. We can infer from the last paragraph that_____.A. cosmetic surgery may make some trouble for youB. liposuction is very simple so it is very popularC. a bad liposuction procedure can be fixed三、完型填空（每小题１分，共１０分）10 blanks in the following passage.

英语重修试题及答案2
英语重修试题及答案2Test TwoReading ComprehensionPassage 1Last Thursday an old chap came to our school to talk about the evils of smoking. He said he wouldn't go on for too long, and we saw him take his wristwatch off and lay it on the table. I can't remember what he said about smoking because Slater and I had other things to think about. He finished when the bell rang for playtime, and the headmaster told us to go out. Slater happened to slip.In the playground Slater showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked lovely. I was wishing that I'd been the one to slip by the table, because it was a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the old boy was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a bit the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.The headmaster said, "I've got a little job for you boys. This gentleman, our lecturer, has just lost his watch in the playground. It's happened before, he says --- it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you See if you're clever enough to find it.I've no doubt the boy who does so will get a useful reward "Well, of course, Slater wasn't going to miss a chance like that. He's just about the luckiest devil in the school --- rewards just drop into his hands. We all walked about the playground, looking for the watch. And I wasn't a bit surprised when Slater bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the old man."Where are you going" I called out, though I knew very well where he was going. "Where do you think" he called back.And the next minute there was Slater, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old fellow and hanging about for the reward.But the lecturer didn't seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quite ready to put a knife in Slater's heart --- until the headmaster burst out laughing. Then they both laughed. Slater told me afterwards that the old man hadn't even said "Thank you" for the watch.The thing that puzzled us most of all was that Slater didn't get any reward. When he reminded the headmaster about it, the headmaster said: "Ah yes, we mustn't forget that I said ‘a useful reward’, didn't I" And then he gave Slater a big sheet of paper and told him to write a composition on the evils of smoking. Slater says he hasn't got a clue what to write.1. What were the boys thinking about during the lectureA) They were not thinking about anything.B) They were thinking about the evils of smoking.C) About the watch --- how to get it, perhaps.D) They thought that the headmaster was very clever.2. Why did the story-teller wish that he had slippedA) Because it was a beautiful watch.B) He thought he could have taken the watch if he had slipped.C) If that had happened, the watch wouldn't have been lost.D) In that case he wouldn't have given it back to the lecturer.3. "The headmaster came outside then, and the old boy was with him." Who was the old boyA) An old student. B) The lecturer. C) The headmaster's son. D) A servant.4. When Slater "bent down", what was he trying to doA) He had to bend down in order to pick up the watch.B) He was trying to hide the fact that he had found the watch.C) The watch had slipped off his wrist, and he was trying to pick it up.D) He was pretending to have found something.5. Why didn't Slater get the kind of reward he expectedA) The headmaster had forgot it, probably.B) Because the lecturer did not agree to give him any reward.C) Because the headmaster never meant to give the usual kind of reward to anyone.D) Because the headmaster did not keep his word.Passage 2Many poor people made good money by selling their own living, healthy teeth. Young people's teeth were in special demand. Dentists with rich, gap-toothed patients often had several live-tooth sellers at hand ready to have their teeth pulled. The idea was to get the best match and fit for the patient. Miss Smith's second-from-the-middle tooth might be no good. But maybe Mr Brown's third-left would fit her ladyship's socket. Some of the double extractions took place right on the spot. The bad tooth would be hauled out. Then the newly drawn live one would be popped into the socket. Strange though it may seem these transplants sometimes worked. At least they would last for a year or two. But they, like ivory teeth, had to be tied firmly to the real teeth next to them.In some cases, neither carved teeth nor transplants worked -- no matter how rich or famous the patient. Next time you see a picture of George Washington, take a good look at it. There's something strange about the president's mouth. It has a puffed look, especially under the lower lip. Washington suffered from poor teeth. He lost most of them when he was quite young. Dentist after dentist tried to fit him with suitable dentures. But none of them were really satisfactory. One set had dogs' teeth in the top. In the bottom were human teeth. The set was held together by strong, coiled, steel springs. It weighed nearly a quarter of a pound. That's quite a lot of bone, lead, wax, and iron to carry round in your mouth. Yet Washington never took out his false teeth in public, even to eat. He was too proud.The artist Gilbert Stuart was asked to paint Washington's portrait. But he was troubled at the way the president's lower lip jutted out. He told Washington to stuff wads of cotton between his chin and teeth. The result was the puffed-out look we see today in Washington's portrait on some American bills, coins, and stamps.One set of Washington's ill-fitting false teeth is still shown in the Dental Museum in Baltimore. It is a far cry from the light, strong, well-fitted, plastic and metal dentures of today.6. The best teeth for transplants probably came from ___________.A) living young people B) dead soldiers C) rich patients D) skillful dentists7. George Washington's lower lip jutted because ___________.A) he had suffered from poor teeth B) he had taken out his false teethC) his false teeth didn't fit well D) his jaw was too small8. Evidence of Washington's dental problems can be seen today __________.A) in the White House B) on some American money and stampsC) in the Dental Museum in Baltimore D) both B and C9. Gilbert was most probably a ___________.A) dentist B) portrait painter C) senior official D) guide in the Museum10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase "a far cry" in the last paragraphA) A shout in the distance. B) A loud yell. C) A similar remark. D) Something different.Passage 3In October 1949 the United Nations brought a number of specialists on food to Geneva, to discuss the problems of eating habits and food supplies of peoples throughout the world. One problem that interested the specialists particularly was a form of illness, about which little was known, among the children in Africa and Latin America. The World Health Organization(WHO) planned to study this disease to determine the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease.Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor.The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child's stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores. The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease --- which has been killing thousands of children for centuries --- was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases. It was the WHO's work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.11. From the passage we learn that kwashiorkor is a disease caused by ______.A) poor living conditions B) lack of proteins in foodC) breast-feeding D) lack of food12. Where was the study of this disease carried outA) The Sahara. B) Central America. C) Latin America D) Africa.13. It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor because ______.A) it has no symptoms at all B) it is hard to identify signs of itC) it doesn't last long enough for careful observationD) it is hardly distinguishable from other diseases14. A main symptom of this disease is that children who have it __ ____.A) cannot stop liquid produce in the stomachB) have a big stomachC) can never satisfy their hungerD) are not able to sit or lie down15. What is mentioned as a simple but efficient way of curing this diseaseA) Taking a special medicine. B) Avoiding any food containing starch.C) Having more meat or milk. D) Taking medicines full of proteins.16. The disease has been known in the Latin AmericaA) for ten years B) only recently C) for dozens of years D) before the discovery in Africa17. What's the best title for the articleA) Milk and Meat Are Daily Necessities B) Kwashiorkor and Bad Eating HabitsC) A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin America D) A Case of Eating HabitsPassage 4Physical fitness is the result of many factors -- good medical and dental care, proper nutrition, adequate rest and relaxation, and sensible personal habits. But these are never enough. An essential factor is regular physical activity -- exercise for abody that needs it to function well.All of us know that ordinary movements -- things like running, jumping, and bending -- are made by muscles. Muscles also do many other things. They suck air into your lungs, push food along your digestive tract, and tighten your blood vessels to raise blood pressure when you need more pressure for an emergency. Your heart is a muscular pump.When your muscles are not used, or are not used enough, they do not develop and grow properly. They soon become flabby and weak, shrink in size, and lose the ability to do the jobs they were meant to do.Recent studies showed that the average high school student spends fifteen to thirty hours a week watching television and only two hours a week in organized play or exercise. That is one reason why one-third of the 200,000 pupils tested for the President's Council on Physical Fitness failed a simple test of strength, stamina, and flexibility. Some of the boys and girls could not raise themselves to a sitting position without using their hands!Cars and buses, elevators and escalators, TV and push-button machines all tend to reduce strenuous physical activity. But our bodies still need exercise. Without it they soon become weak, ineffective, and unattractive.18. In the article, muscles are said to do all of the following EXCEPT __________.A) suck air B) tighten blood vesselsC) run, jump, bend D) reflect pains19. The thing to keep physical fitness discussed in this article is _________。

This saves them considerable time and money—especially if a candidate lives out of town.Don’t take these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would do foe a regular interview.The employer will normally call or e-mail you in advance to set up an interview time. If possible, arrange for the interview to be held over a landline phone(座机), as it is more reliable than a mobile phone. Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby.Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour and be sure to have your resume in front of you. Do your best to be personal, but don’t overdo it by, say, trying to tell a joke.1. Screening interviews over the phone is becoming more common because ________.A) It is simple and fair B) it is easier to prepareC) it seems more friendly D) it saves time and money2. An employer usually arranges the time for the interview by ________.A) paying you a personal visit firstB) calling or e-mailing you in advanceC) announcing the date in the newspaperD) asking you to visit the company’s website3. A landline phone is preferred for the interview because it is more ________.A) reliable B) economical C) efficient D) practical4. What should you do with your resume during a phone interview?A) Keep it in front of you. B) Read it out if required.C) Post it up online. D) Send it by e-mail.5. In the last sentence, by saying “…but don’t overdo it…”, the author means “don’t be too ________”.A) nervous B) proud C) personal D) formalPassage TwoThere are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren wasborn，Kinderhook，New York．Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．6．The authorA. believes both of the stories B．doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC．is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun 7. According to the passage，President JacksonA．couldn’t draw up any documents at all B. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC．often had his assistants sign documents for him D .wasn’t good at reading，writing or spelling8．According to the first story, the term “OK” A. was approved of by President Jackson B．was the title of some Official documentsC．was first used by President Jackson D．was an old way to spell“all correct’’9 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club” B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Buren’s club D．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election10．According to the second story．the term“OK”was first used __A．by Van Buren B．in a presidential electionC．to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD．by the members of the‘‘Old Kinderhook Club”Passage ThreeAlthough the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large．Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France．The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day．As the rush to live out of town continues．rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment．11．If now America has 250 million people．how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?A．About 25 million．B．More than 25 million．C．Less than 25 million． D. Less than 225 million12．Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?A．United States．B．Germany．C．France．D．England．13．What’s the meaning of the word“metropolitan”in the middle of the passage?A .Of a large city with its suburbs．B．Of small and large towns．C．Of urban areas．D．Of rural areas．14. According to the passage，what can we learn about small towns in the United States?A Most small towns become gradually crowdedB．Small towns are still similar to each other．C．As the traditional picture is changing，towns are different．D .Small towns are turning into large cities15．Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?A．Because they are the same．B．Because the rush takes place too quickly C．Because the process is gradual．D．Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas．III. 单句翻译1、在英国餐馆，如果餐费不包括服务费，你就要付10%左右的小费。

大学英语二级补考试卷
大学英语二级补考试卷(January 9, 2008)(100 minutes)Part I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are several 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In some classes and at some schools, mid-terms seem to be almost non-existent. The phrase is used loosely to represent a short period of time occurring closer to the first day of classes than to finals with no specific calendar designed for it. Some classes require so many exams and papersth at a “mid-term” never really happens. Other courses don’t give any exams at all; they require written assignments only. Nevertheless, there still exists a sizeable number of schools and curricula that rely on the traditional mid-term/final peaks in the semester to assess student performance.The mere fact that mid-terms are intended to monitor one’s understanding of a subjectmid-way through the term carries a heavy burden for most students. At one end of the spectrum, students who perform well on their mid-terms tend to then study with far less consistency for their final exams －thus reducing their overall grade for the course. On the other end of that same spectrum, students who perform poorly on a mid-term often become psychologically negative; viewing the rest of the semester as a hopeless void. Almost immediately upon receiving theirmid-term grade, they’re already looking at the course syllabus, trying to compute what their final grade will be if only they can score on their final and on other relevant assessments.Of course, to avoid becoming a victim of negative mid-term psychology on either end of the spectrum, it is recommended that you should work hard to do very well on your mid-semester exams. Plan in steps. Too many students only loosely understand their subject material and then attempt to learn it all on their own one week before or even one night before an exam. But this tactic rarely works! Ease the anxiety of mid-terms by covering whatever you learned in the previous class and study that material. In the long run, this tactic really takes less time than the “night before cram session”.1. For most students, mid-term exams ____.A) are almost non-existentB) are a heavy burdenC) just written assignmentsD) not important to them2. Students who ____ would worry more about the final exams.A) score high on mid-examsB) do well in other performancesC) perform poorly on mid-examsD) know how to compute the final scores3. The biggest problem students with poor performance have after mid-exams is ____.A) their low scores on mid-examsB) stress and anxiety about final assessmentC) how to calculate the final scoresD) how to prepare for the final exams4.

Before each class, ____.A) review all you have learnt beforeB) focus on what you’ve learnt last timeC) preview the lessonsD) do self-checkPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The man who, legend has it, escaped from an early grave when his uncle pulled him from drowning in a dirty pond is notorious for his dirty deeds but what cannot be forgotten are his achievements in the 1986 World Cup. The man is Maradona.Forget the handball against England, feel the quality of his 50-yard solo goal in the same game and the near repeat performance in the semi-final against Belgium. The Argentina side of 1986 was functional and hard-working but it was Maradona who fired them to the final and then set up two of the goals in their 3-2 win over West Germany in the final.In 1990, a barely-fit Maradona fought his way to the final where the Germans took their revenge. Fe w people shared Diego’s post-match tears. In fact many rejoiced that such an ugly brute of a team had lost.Eight years before, in Spain, Maradona, then newly arrived at Barcelona, disgraced himself by being sent off in a Second Phase game with Brazil. Even four years before that the 18-year-old Maradona was a source of great controversy when he was left out of the victorious squad that won on home ground.USA 1994 was the end for Maradona as a player. Right after the Nigeria game, he was picked for drugs-screening and tested positive for banned stimulant ephedrine (麻黄硷). He was banned from the rest of the tournament and the team fell apart, going out in the second round to Romania.6. How many World Cups are mentioned in the passage?A) Three.B) Four.C) Five.D) Six.7. Which country won the 1990 World Cup?A) Argentina.B) Germany.C) Romania.D) England.8. Maradona won the World Cup ____.A) onceB) twiceC) three timesD) four times9. When in 1994, Maradona was driven out of the World Cup, he was close to ____.A) 18B) 24C) 26D) 3110. According to the passage, Maradona is a man ____.A) full of ideasB) with cruel behaviorsC) having good luckD) of great controversyPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Long hours at the screen can cause aching eyes, blurred vision and headaches, experts say. In fact, eyestrain surpasses even wrist pain as the top physical complaint among heavy computer users.When peering into the computer screen, the eye’s focus ing muscle is at constant tension. Like any muscle, it feels sore when overloaded. And when someone spends a lot of time looking at something close, the eye muscle can get stuck on the near-focus setting and have difficulty relaxing, leaving the person temporarily nearsighted, a condition called accommodative spasm (痉挛) that can last seconds or hours.This is why after looking at a monitor all day, some computer workers complain that their distance vision is blurred when they attempt to drive home.The letters on the screen are not as clearly defined as on a printed page. Take a magnifying glass to your monitor and you’ll see the letters, each made up of pinpoint sources of light, have no sharp edges. But those liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors, like those found on laptop computers, are easier on the eyes because they display sharper images.And studies have shown that when people are working on a computer, their rate of blinking goes down by two-thirds, which can result in dry, stinging eyes. This is especially a problem for contact-lens wearers.11. ___ used to be the biggest physical problem that computer users had.A) Dry eyesB) Blurred visionC) HeadacheD) Wrist pain12. Working hours before the screen will _____.A) impose too much burd en on the eye’s focusing muscleB) bring about near-sightednessC) make it difficult for the user to learn drivingD) magnify the letters on the screen13. LCD monitors are better in terms of eye protecting because ___.A) they are more expensiveB) they w ill not blur the user’s eyesC) they bring about no eye problemsD) they display letters with sharp edges14. Dry, stinging eyes are caused by ___.A) lower rate of blinking of the computer user’s eyesB) letters on the screen without any edgesC) overburden on the focusing muscleD) a constant tension15. Which group of people are most likely to get dry, stinging eyes?A) Drivers.B) Doctors.C) Glasses wearers.D) Contact-lenses wearers.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Culture shock is the loss of emotional balance, disorientation, or confusion that a person feels when moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one. When it is a common experience, the degree to which it occurs will vary from one person to another. Individual personality, previous cross-cultural experience, and language proficiency all affect a person’s ability to interact socially in the new culture. The basic cause of culture shock is the abrupt loss of all that is familiar, leading to a sense of isolation.When an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of those familiar signs and hints are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or good-willed he may be, a series of properties have been knocked from under him. This may be followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: “The ways of the host country are bad because th ey make us feel bad.”Another aspect of culture shock is regression (倒退). The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance, and everything becomes irrationally glorified. All difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.Common symptoms of culture shock include the following extremes. There are excessive concerns over delays and other minor frustrations; fear of being cheated, robbed or injured; sleeplessness or a desire to sleep more; and a great longing to go home. Underlying all these is the uncomfortable feeling of not really belonging, of being an outsider.16. Culture shock is basically caused by ____.A) difficulties in using the languageB) being unable to make new friendsC) severe homesickD) being far away from all that is familiar17. The culture shock suffered varies ____.A) from person to personB) from country to countryC) in accordance with people’s agesD) in accordan ce with people’s characters18. The first response a person tend to have when setting foot on a new land is ___.A) feeling frustratedB) feeling nervousC) the sense of losing something preciousD) the sense of being abandoned19. A home-coming trip will ____.A) draw you back to realityB) beautify the hometownC) make you forget the troublesD) help you solve the problems20. Which is NOT a symptom of culture shock?A) Not feeling like sleeping.B) Having fear of being cheated.C) Longing to go back home.D) Having excessive concerns over delays.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (15 minutes)Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The Internet is a way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected demographic groups.A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth revealed that 93 percent of American college students access the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but it could be attributed to the already high number of college Internet users. A whopping (庞大的) 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half (56 percent) have broadband connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to access the Internet.Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses. The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $210 billion in sales last year alone. College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping. The study also showed that 65 percent make loan payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on those credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.66. Why will the increase in Internet users among college students be comparatively slow in thethree years to come?67. According to the study, what is the percentage of the American college students who don’t use cell phones to log on to the Internet?68. What is the chief purpose of college students in accessing the Internet?69. What is the percentage of the college students who borrow money from banks in order to pay for their purchases?70. On what do college students mainly spend their money in the credit cards?Part V Translation (20 minutes)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English (with the given words or phrases). 71. 他一走出电梯就急急忙忙地向自己的办公室走去。

His secretary requested a 10% salary raise.The problem was that 10% was a large raise compared to the 5% other employees had received. Was there a win-win（双赢）way out of this problem?As they looked at the possibilities, several ideas appeared. The company starts work at 8 am and closes at 5 pm. The manager learned that his secretary got caught in heavy traffic every evening on the way home. They agreed to have her work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. This saved her at least 20-25 minutes driving time, a benefit to her at little or no loss to the company.They then studied her job in detail. Before long they jointly developed a new idea which gave her more responsibilities, and, at the same time, more interesting work.Both parties benefitted from the changed arrangement of work. The raise itself was then discussed. A decision was made by agreeing on a 6% raise for three months and then an additional 12% later if the new responsibilities were properly performed.1. What was the department secretary’s request?A) A better work environment.B) A change of job position.C) A challenging task.D) A salary raise.2.

A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that _A．air pollution is not serious B．anyone can live to be 107C．country people should move to the city D．walking is a healthful exercisePassage ThreeFor any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家)．Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations．Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand．There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not，of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare’s day．11. English people ______A．have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC．are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist12．Every Englishman knows ______A．more or less about Shakespeare B．Shakespeare，but only slightlyC．all Shakespeare’s writings D．only the name of the greatest English writer 13．Which of the following is true?A．We use all the words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings．B．Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English．C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare14．What does the word “proverb” mean?A．Familiar sayings B．Shakespeare’s plays．C．Complaints．D．Actors and actresses．15．Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English? A．English words have cha nged a lot since Shakespeare’s time．B．By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usageIII. 单句翻译1、我们不仅尊重父母，而且我尽力不辜负他们的期望。
