大学英语第三阶段参考答案

大学英语（二）第三阶段一、阅读理解1.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the ori gin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike ani mals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, a ctions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and t hat later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Thos e sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they b ring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by exp erience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the mo re the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also expres s these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emoti ons. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary sty le. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his mea ning in words which sing like music and which by their position and asso ciation can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our w ords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech sil ly and vulgar.纠错(1)(4分)The origin of language is _________.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved答案D 解析(2)(4分)What is true about words _______A.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pa in during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions a re fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operatio n felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time l aughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn' t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teet h. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pu lled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the ma n died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.纠错(1)(4分)It is not long since a man felt all the pain while being operated.A. TB.

He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore 1 to fail, and the fa ilure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 2 illustrates this. Whe n he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the ide a that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she th ought that they would not expect too much of him. 3 this way, they too d eveloped the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was usele ss to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 4 of the other studen ts had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the ide a that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new 5 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purp ose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.纠错(1)1A. foundB. noneC. likelyD. InE. which 答案C 解析(2)(2分)2A. foundB. noneC. likelyD.

Titanic2、阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分）第一篇：The flag, the most common symbol(象征) of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的)artifact. It is , rather, the product of thousands of years' development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.1.The best title for the passage would be .A. Development of the National FlagB. Power of the National MottoC. Types of NationsD. Uses of Totems2.The underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 means .A. impossible to make sure ofB. likely to be protectedC. easy to damageD. difficult to find3.The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because. .A. they could tell one’s fortuneB. they could bring good money to fightersC. they were handed down by the ancestorsD. they were believed to stand for natural forces4.What does the author know of the first national flag?A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.B. He believes it was made in Egypt.C. He thinks it came from China.D. He doubts where it started.5.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B. The second ancestor of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of modern flags.第二篇：Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni （校友）who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives （档案馆）in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization.“After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron （中队）as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007.“I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ （阵亡）next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”6. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?A. A form of McKay.B. A story about McKay.C. A table of McKay.D. A picture of McKay.7. What did the students find out about McKay?A. He trained pilots for some time.B. He lived longer than other pilots.C. He died in the Second World War.D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.8. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in .A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England9. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .A. preferred fight to his studyB. went to war before graduationC. left a picture for Corey EverrettD. set an example for his fellow students10. What is the text mainly about?A. The research into war history.B. The finding of a forgotten hero.C. The wonderful pilots of the two world wars.D. The importance of military studies.第三篇：Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth . But when you use the phone , you don’t see the person you are talking with .

" However, most students today cannot reach these goals. One careful study has discovered that the undergraduates are spending less time in study -from about 25 hours per week in the early 1960s to below 15 hours today.Studying also leads to better college grades. To have better grades means higher chance ofbecoming "rich and wealthy." One study of 20, 000 alumni (校友)15 years after their graduation found the following results. Those who were in the top third of the class earned a lot more than those in the middle third. The middle third earned more than classmates in the bottom third. Not surprisingly, those whose grades were not good at college wished they had studied more in school. Whether students should study alone or with others is more complicated. If the teachers leave problems for students to solve, group study is often helpful if students first try to study by themselves. But simply getting together with classmates without first studying alone seem bad for learning. In choosing courses, many students prefer classes with a little homework and easy grading. Yet taking harder courses with longer readings and more papers helps to increase learning.In college, there will still be plenty of time for fun. Once again, however, researchers find that not all outside activities are good. In general, activities, such as participating in student organizations and talking with classmates can be more fruitful.Last but not least, college is a wonderful place to have new interests, enrich your experience,and set your goals. In doing so, you might think again about whether "being rich and wealthy" should be your main reason for studying in college. According to several investigators, money seekers are usually less satisfied with their lives. Maybe they are more likely to neglect things that are more important, such as family, friends and work.1. The majority of students go to college with the goal of ___________.A. serving the countryB. earning much moneyC. becoming famousD. seeking fun2. Compared with the students in the early 1960s, today's undergraduates spend ____less on study.A. 15B. 25C. 10D. 403. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Grades do affect the chances of becoming rich.B. Those who got top grades in college wished they had studied harderC. Studying alone before getting together in a group can be helpful for students.D. Challenging courses can give the students more benefit than the easy ones.4. Which of the following activities is beneficial for college students?A. Watching TV.B. Playing with the computer.C. Serving in student organizations.D. Talking with online friends.5. Why do people who focus on making money feel less satisfied with life?A. Because they don't have other hobbies.B. Because they are single-minded.C. Because they are lonely.D. Because they take less care of families and friends. BCBCDWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and transmit their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest,Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks,making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.1. Which is the closest meaning of the word "transmit" in Paragraph 1?A. ChangeB. pass onC. exchangeD. support2.The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees.A.depend on each otherpete for survivalC.protect their own wealthD.provide support for dying trees3. "Mother trees"are extremely important because they___________.A.look the largest in size in the forestB.seem more likely to be cut down by humansC.pass on nutrition to young treesD.know more about the complex"tree societies"4. The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to _______.A.how"tree societies"workB.how trees grow oldC.how forestry industry developsD.how young trees survive5. Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT according to the passage?A. Trees communicate with each other more deeply than we think.B. Nitrogen and carbon play very important roles in the forest ecological system.C. When "mother trees" are cut down, we are reducing the chances of survival for the forest.D. We couldn't make efforts for the future environmental protection.BACAD四、30分中国人从小就相信英雄得具有大无畏和自我牺牲精神(self-sacrifice)。

accident.It is necessary to give you a bloodtransfusion because you lost a great deal of bloodin the accident.However,special careshould be taken in selecting new blood for you.If the blood is too different from yourown,the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood:A,B,AB,and O.A simple test can indicate aperson’s blood type,which,like hair and height,is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type,the four groups must be transfusedcarefully.Basically,A and B cannot be mixed.A and B cannot receive AB,but AB mayreceive A or B.O can give to any other group;hence it is often called the universal donor.For the opposite reason,AB is sometimes called the universal recipient.However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only saltorplasma(liquid)until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank ofa hospital.In his way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality.AmongEuropeans and people of European ancestry, about42percent have type A while45percent have type O.The rarest is type AB.Other races have different percentages. Forexample,some American Indian groups have nearly100 percent type O.16.A good title for this passage is___C_______A)Getting Blood and Plasma B)Special Blood TypesC)Human Blood TypesD)The Blood Bank of a Hospital17.The word“hence”in line8means___C______A)always B)often C)therefore D)seldom18.In a blood transfusion,it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a personwith the blood type of____C___.A)A B)B C)AB D)O19.The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allowtime____B____.A)to test the reactions to the transfusionB)for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient’s blood.C)for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD)to select a new type of blood for the patient20.Most European have blood type_____D____A)A B)B C)O D)A or OPassage3An old woman walked into a clothes shop.She asked the salesgirl to let her have a look at a new dresson display,but the girl stood still behind the counter,taking no notice of the request(要求).The oldwoman spoke to the girl again,raising her voice a bit,but still received no answer.The old womanlooked at the girl and said to herself:"I am too old to see well,I can't even tell a plastic model from areal girl!"On hearing this the rude salesgirl shouted at the old woman,"What?

One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even whenmaking life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky BusinessWe are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense."But Everybody Does It"Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating RisksTo decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits ("what's in it for me"), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a "0" on a test or assignment; an "F" in the class; suspension or dismissal from school; transcript notation; and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment:you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away With It--Or NotThose who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works. Cheating Hurts Others, TooCheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect. Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but __38__.a cheater says, "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach; all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a blatant and destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity MattersIf cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. __39__.We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, __40__.Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.31. A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______。

But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, foreign viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called“Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collectedfrom several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源)of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that' s part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled "Truckload of Plastic, "Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all at once.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.35. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for? [单选题] *A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.(正确答案)D. Reducing garbage on the beach.36. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3? [单选题] *A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.(正确答案)B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.37. What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers? [单选题] *A. Calming.B. Disturbing(正确答案)C RefreshingD. Challenging.38. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? [单选题] *A. Artists' Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures(正确答案)BDuring an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the co working space across the street —so I can focus. "His comment struck me as strange. After all, co working spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach worksThe researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop-significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise. But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of "distracted focus" appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions andconversations affect the creative process, and yet a co working space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions. 39. Why does the interviewer prefer a co working space? [单选题] *A. It helps him concentrate.(正确答案)B. It blocks out background noise.C. It has a pleasant atmosphere.D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.40. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability? [单选题] *A. Total silence.B. 50 decibels.C. 70 decibels.(正确答案)D. 85 decibels.41. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people? [单选题] *A. Personal privacy unprotected.B. Limited working space.C. Restrictions on group discussion.D. Constant interruptions.(正确答案)42.What can we infer about the author from the text? [单选题] *A. He's a news reporter.B. He’s on office manager.C. He's a professional designer.D. He's a published writer.(正确答案)CWhen you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.43. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn? [单选题] *A. To promote guilt-free fur.(正确答案)B. To expand the fashion market.C. To introduce a new brand.D. To celebrate a winter holiday.44. Why are scientists concerned about nutria? [单选题] *A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.(正确答案)B. Nutria are an endangered species.C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D. Nutria are illegally hunted.45. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean? [单选题] *A. Boomed.B. Became mature.C. Remained stable.D. Crashed.(正确答案)46. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan? [单选题] *A. It’s formal.B. It’s risky.(正确答案)C. It’s harmful.D. It’s traditional.DI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.47. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child? [单选题] *A. Cooperative.B. Uneasy.C. Inseparable.(正确答案)D. Casual.48. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to? [单选题] *A. Pleasure from working in the library.B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.(正确答案)C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.D. A closer bond developed with the readers.49. What does the author call on other writers to do? [单选题] *A. Sponsor book fairs.B. Write for social media.C. Support libraries.(正确答案)D. Purchase her novels.50. Which can be a suitable title for the text? [单选题] *A. Reading: A Source of KnowledgeB. My Idea about writingC. Library: A Haven for the YoungD. My Love of the Library(正确答案)。

大学英语(二)第三阶段参考答案

大学英语（二）第三阶段一、阅读理解1.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the ori gin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike ani mals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, a ctions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and t hat later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Thos e sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they b ring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by exp erience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the mo re the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also expres s these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emoti ons. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary sty le. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his mea ning in words which sing like music and which by their position and asso ciation can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our w ords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech sil ly and vulgar.纠错(1)(4分)The origin of language is _________.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved答案D 解析(2)(4分)What is true about words _______A.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pa in during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions a re fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operatio n felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time l aughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn' t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teet h. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pu lled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the ma n died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.纠错(1)(4分)It is not long since a man felt all the pain while being operated.A. TB. F(4分)Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he could feel nothing.A. TB.

He won't go at a job with theconfidence necessary for success. He is therefore 1 to fail, and the fa ilure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 2 illustrates this. Whe n he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the ide a that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she th ought that they would not expect too much of him. 3 this way, they too d eveloped the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was usele ss to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 4 of the other studen ts had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the ide a that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new 5 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purp ose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.纠错(1)1A. foundB. noneC. likelyD. InE. which答案C 解析(2)(2分)2A. foundB. noneD.

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 shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The Pentagon, headquarters of the Department of Defense in the US, is one of the world’slargest office buildings. It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has threetimes the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. The National Capitol could fitinto any one of the five wedge-shaped (楔形的) sections. There are very few people throughoutthe United States who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon. However, relatively fewpeople have had the opportunity to visit.The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. Approximately 23,000 employees, both militaryand civilian, contribute to the planning and execution of the defense of the country. These peoplearrive daily from Washington D. C. and its suburbs over approximately 30 miles of access highways, including express bus lanes and one of the newest subway systems in the country.They ride past 200 acres of lawn to park approximately 8,770 cars in 16 parking lots; climb 131stairways or ride 19 escalators to reach offices that occupy 3,705,793 square feet.While in the building, they tell time by 4,200 clocks, drink from 691 water fountains, utilize284 rest rooms, consume 4,500 cups of coffee, 1,700 pints of milk and 6,800 soft drinks preparedor served by a restaurant staff of 230 persons and dispensed in 1 dinging room, 2 cafeterias, 6snack bars, and an outdoor snack bar. The restaurant service is a privately run civilian operationunder contract to the Pentagon.26. Which description about the Pentagon is NOT true?A) Very few people in the U.S. know it.B) It is one of the biggest office buildings in the world.C) It is not open to public visits.D) About 23,000 people work in it.27.

People come to work in the Pentagon most probably ____.A) by car and subway B) by airplane C) by train D) on foot29. Approximately how many stairways are there in the Pentagon?A) 130. B) 200. C) 250. D) 290.30. The restaurant in the Pentagon ____.A) is not run by civiliansB) is managed by military employeesC) is the only place that people can have mealsD) subcontracted to civilians by the Pentagon.Passage TwoQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand” on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such service also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer.

The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: As we get older, many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or tovisit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: Prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodiedto fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention tothese barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, that counts.36. The first paragraph focuses on that _______.A) there are many disabled people in the worldB) the number of disabled people in India is the greatestC) India has much more disabled people than CanadaD) it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world’s disabled people37. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _______.A) disability B) ignorance C) prejudice D) barriers38. The last word of the passag e “counts” most probably means _________.A) being most important C) being includedB) being considered D) being numbered39. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.B) There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK.C) The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.D) There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.40. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A) we should try our best to prevent disablementB) both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downC) we must take a proper attitude towards the disabledD) the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabledPassage FourQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, and pushed yourself forward at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me wha t’s worrying you, I can’t help you.”After some hesitation, the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor madethe man write to his brother asking for forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, theman burst into tears. “Thank you,” he said. “I think I’m cured.” And he was. A heartfelt apology cannot only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.41. When we have done something wrong, we should __________.A) look honest and think over the fault carefullyB) escape from being disturbedC) admit the fault and express the regretD) forgive ourselves42. What will happen if we have done something wrong?A) Our logic of thinking will be disturbed.B) We shall lose a friend.C) We shall apologize at once.D) Our moral balance will be disturbed.43. What was the cause of the patient’s disease?A) Headache C) Disturbance of conscience.B) Stomach trouble. D) Some unknown physical weakness.44. What had the patient done to his brother?A) He had sent his brother abroad.B) He had cheated his brother out of his inheritance.C) He had given just a little share of the inheritance to his brother.D) He had gone abroad leaving his brother nothing.45.

His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story －not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）.

Recordedbackground music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing （舒适的）atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost（提升）sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts（收入）by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving－unless, of course, the resulting indigestion（消化不良）leads to complaints.A(6)、Background music was first used in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA.A：T B：FA(7)、An American marketing expert has found background music can increase sales or factory production.

For nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program, a view of space was possible. People could see detailed views of the Moon, explore Mars, and study the geometric beauty of Saturn’s rings. All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers who made a career of illustrating how other worlds in space might look.Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to combine his artistic talents with his knowledge of astronomy. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination, and painstaking attention to detail. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets. His painting of Mars included moonlike craters that were first photographed by the Mariner 4 Probe in 1965. His 1830 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by Orbiter 2 in 1976.The artist-astronomers, including Rudaux, stimulated interest in outer space by painting what eventually turned out to be precise portraits of the planets.11. What is the main idea of the passage? AA) The amazing accuracy of space artists. B) The popular success of Lucien Rudaux. .C) The imaginations of great artists. D) The similarities of the Moon to Mars.12. For how many years have people been able to see paintings showing the appearance of other planets? DA) Nearly five years. B) About fifteen years. C) About fifty years. D) Almost a hundred years.13. According to the passage, artist-astronomers spent their lives ___C_.A) exploring the planets B) studying geometryC) creating images of space D) producing rockets for space travel14. According to the passage, the works of Lucien Rudaux represent a combination of __D__.A) astronomy and mathematics B) generalizations and specificsC) photography and illustration D) fact and fiction15.

Reading Comprehension(A)Directions: Read the following excerpt from Box Office Bombs and answer the questions that follow.Kevin’s Costly MisstepsThe 1990s were a strange time for Kevin Costner. He enjoyed unparalleled successes followed by major failures. At the beginning of the decade, he won seven Oscars for his epic western, Dances with Wolves, which he starred in and directed. Five years later came Waterworld. Set in an age when the polar ice caps have melted and most of the world is submerged, this fantasy film was the most expensive movie ever made at the time. The odd thing about Waterworld is that, while it is often cited as a film that lost millions of dollars, it actually turned a profit – eventually. Still, it was nominated for four Golden Raspberries – the awards for bad movies – and won two. Two years later, in 1997, Costner did even better (or, rather, worse) by winning a record five Razzies for The Postman.Cat-astrophic FailureThere are some films that are so awful that even their own stars are embarrassed to be associated with them. Catwoman falls into this category. Stepping up to accept her Razzie for worst actress in 2005, Halle Barry thanked the film company for putting her in an appalling movie. “It was just what my career needed,” she added, sarcastically. Berry’s joke was understandable – she had won the Oscar for best actress just four years earlier.43. When did Kevin Costner enjoy the most fame?a. Early 90s.b. Late 90s.c. Only in 1995.d. Only in 1997.44. According to the excerpt how many awards (good or bad) did Costner win in the 90s?a. 7.b. 14.c. 16.d. 17.45. How was Halle Barry sarcastic about her Golden Raspberry win?a. She made a joke about the Golden Raspberries.b. She expressed gratitude for her Oscar.c. She expressed appreciation for her role.d. No information is given.46. The word appalling is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. Polar.b. Epic.c. Embarrassed.d. Terrible.(B)Directions: Read the following excerpt from Communication Breakdown: Major Advertising Failures and answer the questions that follow.Mistaken IdentityWhat brand of batteries do you use in your TV remote control? Without looking, you probably don’t have a clue, right? The battery brand Energizer found out the hard way that a catchy ad campaign doesn’t necessarily tr anslate into a boost to sales when it failed to capitalize on a hugely popular series of commercials starting in the 1980s. At the time, the leading brand was Duracell, which had used a drum-playing rabbit called the Duracell Bunny as its mascot since the early 1970s. Seeing a chance to cash in on the back of this character, Energizer created its own Energizer Bunny which was shown outlasting Duracell’s bunny. There was not much to differentiate Energizer’s rabbit from Duracell’s (they gave him a pair of sh ades to make him look cooler), but the commercials were a hit with consumers, due in part to the light-hearted mocking of a competitor. The problem was, while everyone recognized the bunny and the campaign, hardly anyone knew which company was behind it. In fact, a study showed that 40 percent of people thought the Energizer ads were for Duracell. Furthermore, despite the popularity of the commercials, Energizer sales actually dropped.47. According to the excerpt what prompted Energizer to create the ads?a. It wanted to create a unique bunny.b. It wanted to make fun of itself.c. It wanted to make fun of its competitor.d. It wanted to create an international campaign.48. What problem or problems did Energizer encounter?a. People loved the ads but hated the product.b. People loved the ads but could recall the product.c. People felt bad that they copied the Duracell bunny.d. People were turned off by the bunny’s shades.49. What did the study mentioned in the excerpt show?a. Sales increased for Duracell.b. Sales declined for Duracell.c. Sales remained steady for Energizer.d. Sales fell for Energizer.50. Which of the following is closest in meaning to mascot?a. representativeb. campaignc. competitord. shades。

Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.(1)、Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for flying machines. AA：TB：F(2)、Eight hundred years ago an Englishman made a kind of flying machine. BA：TB：F(3)、In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly lost his life. AA：TB：F(4)、The very first air passengers in the balloon were two Frenchmen. BA：TB：F(5)、The two Frenchmen rose above Paris in November 1783. AA：TB：F2. In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念）movies.(1)、Alfred Hitchcock's first job at the studio was writing captions for silent movies. AA：TB：F(2)、According to the context, "step in and plug gaps" (in Line 3, Para. 2) means asking for one's help. B A：TB：F(3)、Telling a story through dialogue prepared Hitchcock for his success later. BA：TB：F(4)、He was determined to draw the audience's attention and keep tension in his film-making. AA：TB：F(5)、He had taken up different jobs before he succeeded. AA：TB：F3、One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library?" she asked. I said, "Send him along."Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective （侦探）job?" I answered yes, and then began his work.He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the library. "Who will find the lost books?" he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.(1)、Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates? CA：Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.B：Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.C：Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.D：Because the library needed a new worker.(2)、What do you know from the passage? BA：Library work was very difficult for Bill Gates.B：Bill Gates did his job without any difficulty.C：The librarian was too busy to have a rest.D：His mother hoped that Bill Gates would stay for his job.(3)、The sentence "He picked up the idea immediately" means that ___A___.A：he learned that system quicklyB：he collected that system quicklyC：he lifted up that system quicklyD：he improved that system quickly(4)、What was Bill Gates expected to do in the library? DA：Finding the lost cards.B：Learning the system.C：Helping the worker with everything in the library.D：Finding books with wrong cards.(5)、How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area? CA：Sad.B：Pleasant.C：Worried.D：Interested.三、词汇与语法1、Measles(麻疹) ____D____ a long time to get over.2、If I don't ____D____ the phone at home, ring me at work.3、In order to ___C___ the disease, the first thing we should do is to do research about it and find out a satisfactory cure.A.confirmB.conductC.control4、The scientists are __D__ a series of experiments to learn more about how the body adapts to weightlessness.A.definingB.havingC.carrying5、I was talking with my mother on the phone when we were __B__ suddenly.A.cut downB.cut offC.cut acrossD.cut back6、The firemen tried their best to ___D____ the fire but in vain.A.put upB.put forwardC.put downD.put out7、My friend helped me ____C___ my cat when I was on vacation with my wife.A.look forB.look onC.look afterD.look up8、I don't have much free time as my work ____C___ all my time.A.takes awayB.takes overC.takes upD.takes in9、This kind of plant ___D___ a lot of water at all times.A.assumesB.limitsC.produces10、____C___ him go out if he wants to.A.AllowB.LeaveC.LetD.Permit四、完型填空1、Water is very important to living things.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.The Courage to Know OneselfA) I have had a lot of fear in my life. Much of the fear started when I was about nine years old and developed into an unbearable fear of dying. I would lie in bed at night, knowing that I was eventually going to lose everything I owned. Then I cherished l ife itself very much. “Why was I born if only to die?” was thequestion that plagued me. I literally could not sleep at night. And I could find no comfort from either of my parents. So I learned to deal with it by controlling my breath (I thought if I kept breathing, I would stay alive). This habitual activity deadened (使麻木) my spontaneity and inner freedom for decades to come.B) This issue wasn’t resolved until I finally faced death directly within myself and saw what I was really afraid of was not death, but aloneness – existential aloneness –being all alone forever. And when I opened to this aloneness, needing to know what it really was, my consciousness opened to my wholeness and my interconnectedness with all existence. And I have not been lonely or afraid in the way I used to be since that defining moment.C) This story exemplifies the underlying principle of courage. Having courage does not mean that one does not have fear. It means that one is willing to face fear – to face fear itself in order to know the truth about something. In a very real sense, one could say that fear is the separation from the truth, and that courage is the willingness to go through fear to get to the truth. All fears, then, refer back to the one fear that is our separation from the truth of who and what we really are – our true nature, our undivided and interconnected self.D) The word “courage” comes from Latin and French derivatives that mean “heart”. So when people ask me what courage is, I often tell them that it is heart-work, learning how to move through fear.E) Every little fear becomes a doorway to a larger, less fearful part of ourselves, if we can just allow ourselves to be open and vulnerable to it, curious about it –needing to understand it and having to know the truth. Every time we face a fear, we learn that we have the ability to move through fear, we become a little more courageous in our lives, and we get a little closer to the truth.F) I often say that the difference between a child and an adult is that the child retreats from fear – chooses to stay stuck in their fear of the fear whereas the adult faces fear –chooses to move through their fear of the fear, into and through the fear itself.G) So, in order to fully understand courage, we need to understand why we would choose to not face our fear, but to continue to be afraid of it. Why would we choose to stay stuck in a limited, tight, fearful place when we could be free and open and joyous?H) This, of course, is a huge question. But I think there are a few key things we can see that will be very useful. The first question that arises in this inquiry is, “What is it that we’re really afraid of, anyway?”I) There’s an old Jewish expression that translates roughly into “Don’t look too deep”. I think the expression is based on the belief that what is deepest inside of us is fundamentally not good – original sin (罪恶), the id, etc. So, if one should sincerely seek the truth, what he will ultimately discover is that one’s true nature is bad. And how could one live with that knowledge? And so we are afraid of looking into things for fear that we won’t like what we find. From my experience, however, what I have found to be deepest inside myself (and all beings) is pure love, compassion, wisdom, and und erstanding. It’s just a matter of looking deeply enough to see what’s there.J) We are also afraid of letting go of the known – what we have known. Even though we may be aware of our suffering, at least we are familiar with it. We may even have become comfortable with it in a peculiar sort of way. We have made a kind of pact with our suffering: “I won’t bother challenging you if you promise not to get any worse.” In essence, we are afraid to change because we have an unconscious belief that things will get worse if we let go of what we know. What I have learned, however, is that the only place where there is true peace is in the place of absolute letting go of what we have known. From this place, I am able to respond freely and directly to the circumstances of my life.K) We have taken on an identity, an image, a set of beliefs about what we and the surrounding world are all about. We see our lives through this set of beliefs. If we were to let go of these ideas about what reality is, we are afraid we would no longer know what is real. And that is a frightening prospect for us. We are afraid that our world would be chaotic and even terrifying. We are afraid that the universe is not a benevolent (慈善的) place.L) And so we cling desperately to a set of beliefs about who we are and what the world is. All the beliefs were created (primarily in an attempt to protect ourselves from experiencing pain) very early in our childhood, and are buried deep in our subconscious. These beliefs or self-images serve to separate us from the reality and are actually the source of all our fears and all our sufferings. It is only by challenging or inquiring into these beliefs that we can move through our fears and come to know our true, courageous, free, open, loving, and peacefu l self. The great poet, Rainer Maria Rilke once said, “The spiritual path is one of being defeated by greater and greater beings.” In the process of inquiring into, seeing into and letting go of our false selves, one’s awareness opens increasingly to the beauty and awe that is always present.M) One could then say that courage is being more committed to knowing the truth than protecting one’s cherished ideas and images about oneself and the world. What beliefs do you cling to? And are you courageous enough to challenge them?37)The author, based on his experience, believes that what lies the deepest inside of human beings is nothing but good qualities. I38)If we can absolutely let go of what we have know, we can find a place where there is true peace. J39)Kids and grown-ups respond differently in the face of fear. F40)Deeply-rooted in our mind since childhood, the beliefs about who we are and what the world is separate us from the reality and cause all our fears and sufferings. L41)What really frightened the author was the loneliness rather than death itself. B42)We are unwilling to change in life because we are preoccupied with the belief that things will change for the worse if we let go of what we have known. J 43)Facing fears can make us less fearful, more courageous and more likely to get to the truth. E44)We are afraid that we would be thrown into a chaotic and terrifying world if we give up the set of our beliefs. K45)Ever since childhood, the author has been subject to intense and irrational fear of dying. A46)Courage means the willingness to conquer fear to get to the truth. C参考答案：37) I 38) J 39) F 40) L 41) B 42) J 43) E 44) K 45) A 46) CDirections：Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question. There is something grimly ridiculous as well as pathetic in themessy way we manage things in our crude attempt as civilization. While we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of the people’s money annually in improving the breed of pig, or in fighting cattle disease, we are neglecting the most valuable asset of all, the children of the nation. A million dollars of the people’s money can be spent upon a speedway so that rich people might have an opportunity of exercising their blooded stock, while not a penny can be found in the State appropriations (拨款) to find food for starving children.This foolish state of affairs was brought out in strong relief when the school teachers organized themselves into a relief committee to find ways and means for supplying food to the hungry children under their charge. This organization was brought about by the pitiable plight of the children, many of whom had become so weakened for lack of proper nourishment that they fainted at their desks while trying to study their lessons. The teachers have called their orga nization the “Children’s Relief Society,” and the day after the organization was perfected they were enabled to issuetickets to the most destitute (赤贫的) of the children which entitled them to immediate relief.Besides this effort on the part of the teachers, emergency measures for the relief of hundreds of pupils in other schools have been adopted by the committee of school board members. The newspapers reported that relief came in this case in the form of two soup kitchens which were opened and equipped so as to provide for hundreds of the starving children.Destitution has visited hundreds of families as the result of the business depression. Not only have the educational authorities taken up the matter, but various generous societies have begun active work for relieving the distress. All of which is excellent in every way, yet it is not enough; it does not go far enough, for it ought not to be left to charity, but ought to be made a State duty.47)We learn from the first paragraph that _____.A. we manage things well as civilizationB. we are rich enough to spend money freelyC. we need to care for the starving childrenD. rich people should exercise their blooded stock48)What motivated school teachers to organize the “Children’s Relief Soci ety”?A. The distressing situation of the children.B. The improper ways of supplying food to the children.C. The charge of food unaffordable for children.D. The weak performance of children in study.49)What would the Children’s Relief Society do after its establishment?A. They would provide food directly to poor children.B. They would teach lessons to poor children for free.C. They would give poor children tickets to get food.D. They would relieve poor children’s pressure.50)What other effort for the relief of children is mentioned in the passage?A. The committee of school board members has taken emergency measures.B. People from the newspapers have built soup kitchens to provide for starving children.C. The educational authorities have set up funds to provide help.D. Generous societies have adopted hundreds of pupils in schools.51)According to the passage, who should be most responsible for the relief of children’s starvation?A. The teacher.B. Children’s Relief Society.C. Charitable societies.D. The State.参考答案：47) C 48) A 49) C 50) A 51) DPeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian. This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel, who are generally used to learning languages, the most difficulties.Different cultures and individuals from those cultures willfind different languages more difficult. In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.52)Why is it hard to say which language is the most difficult to learn?A. Because people learn their mother tongue naturally.B. Because it is only relevant when learning a second language.C. Because many factors have to be considered.D. Because differences between languages are unimportant.53)Who will find Portuguese much easier to learn?A. A native speaker of ChineseB. A native speaker of JapaneseC. A native speaker of HungarianD. A native speaker of Spanish54)What is the most problematic language to British diplomats and other embassy staff?A. HungarianB. JapaneseC. SpanishD. Chinese55)Why do many people think Chinese is the hardest language to learn?A. Because Chinese uses the Roman alphabet.B. Because the grammar of Chinese is complex.C. Because the pronunciation of Chinese is difficult.D. Because Chinese is not directly used in their life.56)What factors cannot affect learning a second language according to the passage?A. first languageB. neighboring countriesC. teachers and the circumstancesD. each learner's motivation for learning 参考答案：52) C 53) D 54) A 55) C 56) B。
