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 was born,Kinderhook, New York. Van Bruen’s friends organized a club to help him become President.They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”.11. The author .A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC.is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12. According to the passage, President Jackson .A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t good at reading,writing or spelling13. According to the first story, the term “OK” .A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC.was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct”14. According to the second story, the term “OK” .A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Va n Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election15.According to the second story, the term “OK” was first usedA. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD.by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Although 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 smalltownmay 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(large cities with their suburbs ) of more than a million people each – a large proportion than in Germany or English, 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.16. 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 millionC. Less than 25 millionD. Less than 225 million17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?A. the United States.B. GermanyC. France.D. England18. 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.19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. 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 cities.20. 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.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa,because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A.“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D.Where there are no written records, there is no history.22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago becauseA. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD.the people there did not know how to write23. “Remembered history” refers to .A. history based on a person’s imaginationB.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC.songs and danced about the most important eventsD.both B and C24. “Remembered history” is regarde d as valuable only whenA. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people hadA. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage 1When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the question,“Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their l ives 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 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 oftenrequires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, 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.11. The Vienna survey may help to explain .A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list someA. benefits of walkingB. occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city peopleD. problems of city living13. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful .A. to take the elevatorB. to walk up the stairsC. to ride in a carD. to find an alternative to walking14. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because .A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need the exerciseC. they never have parking problemsD. they can’t afford to take the bus15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is thatA. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to the cityD. walking is healthful exercise Passage 2For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist. 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 sinceShakespeare’s day.16. 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 dramatist17. Every Englishman knows .A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer18. Which of the following is true?A. We use all the words, phrases and qu otations 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 use.D.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.19. What does the word “proverb ” mean?A. Familiar sayings.B. Shakespeare’s plays.C. Complaints.D. Actors and actresses.20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A. Engl ish words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage全国高校网络教育大学英语统考(B)试题及答案(3)Part I I 阅读理解(2)Passage 3Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers. Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships,with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious:for where there are trees, their roots break the soilup, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.21. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can .A.keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods22. It’s a great pity that .A. man is only interested in building empiresB. man is eager to profit from treesC. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear .A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them24. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “”.A.to wash awayB.to make wetC.to make stay togetherD.to improve25. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can .A. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 1Dr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron lizard(蜥蜴)in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw.After he had recovered from his injury, he caught a squirrel and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creatures from the woods near his school.In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology. By 1966 he had received his Bachelor of Science degree and two years later at Drysdale University, he received his Doctor of Science degree. It was while he was doing field research for his doctoral studies in South America in 1967 that he discovered and named the Kamron lizard. This animal was different from others of its kind in that it had only four toes on its front feet. In other respects, it was similar to others of the same family. It could change its color and go for long periods without food.11. Of the four statements, which one best indicates the author’s idea?A. Dr. Gates is a scientist who can always attract the public attention to his research.B. Dr. Gates is a very famous scientist, though he wanted to be a sportsman at first.C. Dr. Gates is a scientist who always carries a notebook with him wherever he goes.D. Dr. Gates is a very popular for his determination to become a baseball player.12. In the first paragraph of the passage, the phrase “in practice” means “” .A. while doing some practical workB. while studying animalsC. while making up his mind to become a baseball playerD. while playing baseball13. In the second paragraph, the word “creatures” can best be replaced by “”.A. peopleB. thingsC. animalsD. living things14. It was that Dr. Gates discovered the Kamron lizard.A. after he had graduated from Drysdale UniverstityB. right after he had finished his study for the doctor’s degreeC. after he had received his highest degreeD.during the time when he was studying for the doctor’s degree15. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of the Kamron lizard?A. It possesses four toes on its front feet.B. It can live a long while without eating.C. It may go for weeks without drinking.D. It is capable of changing colors. Passage 2I was due to take my driving test at 11:30 a.m. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 a.m., my heart sank. My driving instructor,Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit,but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking.We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous.Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn’t-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in tocall out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car.I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.16. On their way to the test center, Stan tried to comfort the authorA. but it made the author’s heart sink deeperB. but the words produced no effectC. so that the author could drive to the centre with no fearsD. so that they could prepare for all the traps17. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Six learners would be tested at the same time.B. The learners were tested in the presence of their instructors.C. None of the six learners passed the test in the end.D. The instructors were as nervous as the。

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on.The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.⑴、What's the meaning of the underlined word 'parchment'?A:The skin of young animals.B: A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C:The paper used by European countries.D: The paper of Egypt.答案:B(2)、Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the invention of paper?A:More jobs could be provided than before.B: More people could be educated than before.C:More books could be printed and distributed.D: More ways could be used to exchange knowledge. 答案:A(3)、When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely?A:Around 1400.B:Around 1900.C:Around 400.D: Around 900.答案:A(4)、Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year?A:China.B:Sweden.c:Egypt.D: Japan.答案:B(5)、What is the main idea of this short talk?A:More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B: Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C:The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D:Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.答案:C•全套完整新版题库,全中文翻译,群内考前突击,提供简化版,提供作文辅助输入工具,全程免费答疑。

英语作文范文1Cleaning Up Our Environment——清洁我们的环境提纲:1.随处可见的环境污染2.怎样才能使环境清洁3.你的看法Sample:The sky looks grey; the rivers become black; the grass is covered with plastic bags. You will easily get your hair and shoes dirty while walking along the streets, and the air smells terrible. That is our environment now. That is the world we live in. Wherever you are, whatever you do, you can hardly escape from pollution.But is there anything we common people can do about it Yes, there is much that we can do. We can throw rubbish not on the ground, but in garbage cans; we can help to publicize the importance of environment preservation; we can write letters to our friends on ordinary paper instead of sending cards, because 4,000 cards amount to one tree, and trees are important to better our environment. Moreover, we can encourage the government to punish the. act of pollution.When the sky is blue again, the rivers become clean, and the grass is always green, we will live a healthier and happier life.英语作文范文2Does the Internet Provide Too Much for People?——因特网可以给人们提供更多的东西吗提纲:1.人们对因特网作用的认识2.因特网的利与弊3.我们应如何利用网络信息Sample:With the development of computers, the Internet has become widely used. It is just like information net that has covered the world. When a great deal of information is exchanged on the Internet almost every second, some people are worried that it provides too much for people. To know it clearly, we should look at both sides of the Internet.On one hand, the Internet shows us a closer and wider world than ever before. When staying at home, we can get all kinds of useful information in any scientific research field whenever we need them. Through the Internet, more and more chances are provided to improve our work, enrich our knowledge and help our country to keep up with the others. But on the other hand, the Internet also brings us many troubles. Useless information and games are sent to us unavoidably. Therefore, we may say that those people's complaints are understandable.Generally speaking, the Internet has played an important role in modern life. Moreover, it is like atwo-edged sword. We should make the best use of one edge, and try not to be hurt by the other one.英语作文范文3Advertisements——广告提纲:1. 广告在生活中的作用2. 广告的负面影响3. 对待广告应采取什么态度Sample:Information is spreading rapidly in today’s society. Taking a look around, you'll find advertisements appearing everywhere. They give us the latest news of sales and much information about goods. For a company or a factory, advertising may be the most effective means to let their products known. Meanwhile, advertisements can guide the customers. They may help us a lot before we make a choice. But sometimes, you may be misled to an unwise decision by advertisements. They exaggerate advantages that the goods may not have at all. Some credulous customers will regret having bought something of no use or of poor quality, only due to the tempting pictures and words. It is a waste of money. As a result, more and more people begin to lose their trust. The original effect of advertisements dies away.As we know, everything has two sides. Advertisements have no exceptions. Actually advertisements help us a great deal. But at the same time, the wrong use of them brings us loss and trouble. So if all of us try our best to make good use of advertisements, we are sure that they will benefit us a lot and contribute much to the development of our society.英语作文范文4The World Is Becoming Smaller and Smaller——世界变得越来越小提纲:1.种种现象说明世界变得越来越小2.什么原因导致世界变得越来越小Sample:It’s said that our world is like a village. That is to say that nowadays one can easily get in touch with other people all around the world. By plane, you can appear in other hemispheres within hours; through television you can be informed vividly and timely about all events inside and outside your country. It's no longer a dream to see and talk to a person on the other side of the world. Therefore, the world seems to become smaller.What makes possible communications throughout the world First, the invention of modern means of transportation contributes a lot to human activities in the world. Secondly, the application of satellite technology, which is thought of as the most significant breakthrough in human history, helps to convey signals of television and radio from one place to another. Finally, the change is also partly due to modem civilization brought about by modern industry, which has produced televisions, computers and many other useful machines.英语作文范文5Television——电视提纲:1.电视在曰常生活中的重要地位2.电视的优点3.电视的弊端Sample:Obviously, the press is an important means of communication and is still a popular form of communicating news. People read newspapers everywhere, in the office, at home, on the train, even in the toilet and so on. Nevertheless, the coming of TV gives a shock to the world. Suddenly, it changes many things in people's daily life.Nowadays TV is so popular that nearly every family has got a TV set in cities. People can watch and hear TV programs at the same time. TV programs are full of variety and viewers can enjoy news reports, plays, films, musical performances, sports, and interviews with prominent people and many other items. So TV attracts many people from the cinema, the radio and newspapers.On the other hand, people can time and again hear criticism of TV programs. It has got too much violence and gunplay, which affects young people and even children. Watching too much TV will make people exhausted, lazy and stupid, and also waste a lot of valuable time.英语作文范文6Water Shortage——水资源短缺问题1. 水的重要性。

There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts.

Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.(1)、Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________A:People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B:People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C:Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D:Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.答案: B(2)、With the same money ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A:getting a small flat with a gardenB:having a small flat with a gardenC:renting a small flat without a gardenD:buying a small flat without a garden答案: C(3)、When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ________ has been rewarded.A:living in the country B: having spent time working in the gardenC: having a garden of his own D:having been digging, planting and watering答案: B(4)、People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.A:their life was meaningless B: their life was invaluableC:they didn't deserve a happy life D:they were not worthy of their happy life答案: A(5)、The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________.A:deal with B:do away withC:escape from D:prevent from答案: C三、词汇与语法1、If she wants to stay thin, she must make a _____ in her diet.A:change B:turn C:run D:go答案: A2、The manager will not _________ us to use his car.A:have B:let C:agree D:allow答案: D3、It's bad ________ for you to smoke in the public places where smoking is not allowed.A:behavior B:action C:manner D:movement答案: A4、There's lots of fruit _____ the tree.Our little cat is also ______ the tree.A: in;in B:on;on C:in;on D:on;in答案: D5、Tom was watching TV when someone______.A:comes B:come C:came D:has come答案: C四、完型填空1、It is always interesting to visit another country, especially for those who have never traveled a great deal.

Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn't serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.(1)、How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag? _________A:By making laws. B:By enforcing discipline.C:By educating the public. D:By holding ceremonies.答案: A(2)、What is the regulation regarding the raising of the American National Flag? _________A:It should be raised by soldiers.

B:Respect.C:Happy. D:Brave.答案: B2、There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and thenadd new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is nota static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(1)、Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.A:if we cannot reach solid short-term goals B:if we complete the short-term goalsC:if we have dreams of the future D:if we put forward some plans答案: B(2)、New short-term goals are built upon______.A:a daily basis B:your achievement in a weekC:current activities D:the goals that have been completed答案: D(3)、When we complete each step of our goals, ________.A:we will win final success B: we are overwhelmedC:we will build up our confidence to achieve successD:we should have strong desire for setting new goals答案: C(4)、What is the main idea of this passage? _______A:Life is a dynamic thing.

1.你生活中有哪些变化;2.你对此的感受。

Changes in My LifeWhy do we like music? Like most good questions, this one works on many levels. We have answers on some levels, but not all.We like music because it makes us feel good. Why does it make us feel good? In 2001, neuroscientists Anne Blood and Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Montreal provided an answer. Using magnetic resonance imaging they showed that people listening to pleasurable music had activated brain regions called the limbic and paralimbic areas, which are connected to euphoric reward responses, like those we experience from sex, good food and addictive drugs. Those rewards come from a gush of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. As DJ Lee Haslam told us, music is the drug. But why? It’s easy enough to understand why sex and food are rewarded with a dopamine rush: this makes us want more, and so contributes to our survival and propagation. (Some drugs subvert that survival instinct by stimulating dopamine release on false pretences.) But why would a sequence of sounds with no obvious survival value do the same thing?The truth is no one knows. However, we now have many clues to why music provokes intense emotions. The current favourite theory among scientists who study the cognition of music – how we process it mentally – dates back to 1956, when the philosopher and composer Leonard Meyer suggested that emotion in music is all about what we expect, and whether or not we get it. Meyer drew on earlier psychological theories of emotion, which proposed that it arises when we’re unable to satisfy some desire. That, as you might imagine, creates frustration or anger – but if we then find what we’re lo oking for, be it love or a cigarette, the payoff is all the sweeter.This, Meyer argued, is what music does too. It sets up sonic patterns and regularities that tempt us to make unconscious predictions about what’s coming next. If we’re right, the brain gives itself a little reward –as we’d now see it, a surge of dopamine. The constant dance between expectation and outcome thus enlivens the brain with a pleasurable play of emotions.Why should we care, though, whether our musical expectations are right o r not? It’s not as if our life depended on them. Ah, says musicologist David Huron of Ohio State University, but perhaps once it did. Making predictions about our environment –interpreting what we see and hear, say, on the basis of only partial information – could once have been essential to our survival, and indeed still often is, for example when crossing the road. And involving the emotions in these anticipations could have been a smart idea. On the African savannah, our ancestors did not have the luxury of mulling over whether that screech was made by a harmless monkey or a predatory lion. By bypassing the “logical brain” and taking a shortcut to the primitive limbic circuits that control our emotions, the mental processing of sound could prompt a rush of adrenalin – a gut reaction – that prepares us to get out of there anyway.。
