But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly father s, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus o n parenting.”1. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing? A) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C) Older parents are often better prepared financially.D) Older parents can take better care of their children.2. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.B) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.C) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.D) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.3. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that _________.A) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageB) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energyC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children.4. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?A) Being laughed at by other people.B) Slowing down of their pace of life.C) Being mistaken for grandparents.D) Approaching of death.5. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.C) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.D) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.Passage twoLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don t remember even seeing it, that s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that s "a red flag that something more serious may be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood第 4 页共11 页pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on Array medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense againstmemory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. "Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.6. Why does the author say that one need’ t be concerned about memory slips?A) Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B) They occur only among certain groups of people.C) Not all of them are related to one’s age.D) They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.7. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A) Our interaction skills deteriorate.B) Some parts of our brain stop functioning.C) Communication within our brain weakens.D) Our whole brain starts shrinking.8. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A) Totally forgetting how to do one s daily routines.B) Inability to recall details of one s life experiences.C) Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D) Occasionally confusing the addresses of one s friends.9. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A) Check the brain s cognitive reserve.B) Stop medications affecting memory.C) Turn to a professional for assistance.D) Exercise to improve their well-being.10. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for combating memory loss?A) Having regular physical and mental checkups.B) Taking medicine that helps boost one s brain.C) Engaging in known memory repair activities.D) Staying active both physically and mentally.Passage threeIn spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s nosurprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.第 5 页共11 页Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were fav ored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re w alking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.11.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.12.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.13.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.第 6 页共11 页第 7 页 共 11 页14.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 15.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe. B) It has a history of over two thousand years. C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.A bookless life is an incomplete life. Books influence the depth and breadth of life. They meet the natural 1)_____for freedom, for expression, for creativity and beauty of life. Learners, therefore, must have books, and the right type of book, for the satisfaction of their need. Readers turn 2)____ to books because their curiosity concerning all manners of things, their eagerness to share in the experiences of others and their need to 3) _____ from their own limited environment lead them to find in books food for the mind and the spirit. Through their reading they find a deeper significance to life as books acquaint them with life in the world as it was and it is now. They are presented with a 4)_____ of human experiences and come to5) _____ other ways of thought and living. And while 6)____ their own relationships and responses to life , the readers often find that the 7) ____ in their stories are going through similar adjustments, which help to clarify and give significance to their own.Books provide 8)______ material for readers’ imagination to grow. Imagination is a valuable quality and a motivating power, and stimulates achievement. While enriching their imagination, books 9)______their outlook, develop a fact-finding attitude and train them to use leisure 10)_____. The social and educational significance of the readers’ books cannot be overestimated in an academic library.Part IV . Fill in the blanks by selecting suitable letters for words fromthe word bank. You may not use any of the words more than once.(1x10)第 8 页 共 11 页1. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures andrepeated misfortunes in his lifetime. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.2. Thanks to modern aviation, we can now move through space at an inhuman speed. For the first time in human history, we can outrun the sun and move from one hemisphere to another in a single day. Of course, it's not enough to simply get on a plane. Most people, after all, escape to Paris so they don't have to think about those troubles they left behind. But here's the irony: Our mind is most likely to solve our most stubborn problems while we are sitting in luxury in a Left Bank café.Part V .

新视野大学英语一到七单元Banked cloze题目与答案

Unit OneGood communication is the key to success when learning online. You should take the opportunity to get to know your teacher and classmates through email and by participating in Internet discussions. This will lead to a more positive and (1rewarding) learning experience.It's true that learning the technology needed to take part in a class can at times be (2 frustrating) . For example, you may need to ask how to (3 post ) your assignment on the Web. But, don't worry! If you have a problem, ask for help. There's no such thing as a stupid question, so there is no need to be intimidated or (4embarrassed ) . Sharing(5insights)and answers freely is what makes the Internet such a great medium for learning.Online classroom teacher Mike Roberts was asked about what he thought the greatest(6benefit)of online learning is. "As a teacher, I need the students to ask questions so that I know what areas of my lessons need further (7explanation ). That's what is great about teaching and learning over the Internet. In an ordinary classroom, time is limited, so students seem to ask the (8minimum)amount of questions possible. But in the (9virtual)classroom, students are always asking questions. They really seem to feel (10comfortable )asking me for the information that they need. They also share a lot of valuable ideas with each other in a way that you don't usually see in a regular classroom."interested embarrassed frustrating communicate comfortable benefit valuable medium post explanation virtual discipline rewarding minimum insightsUnit TwoI have to write to you about the way you dress. I was a little intimidated to (1 comment ) in person, so I am writing instead. I hope this doesn't (2 upset ) you, but something has to be done. I must ( 3 appeal ) to you to start dressing like a mom.Your ( 4 unique ) sense of fashion is more like a sister's than a mother's. Personally, it's ( 5 embarrassing ) to have a mom who dresses younger than I do. You wear T-shirts with torn jeans and your nose is pierced( 6 ). My friends say it's strange, but I think they're being a little too ( 7 negative ). It's most likely because their boyfriends think you are pretty. Still, if you want me to have any friends in this community, it is vital that you ( 8 remove ) the ring from your nose and start dressing like the other moms. Don't your peers ever show any concern?Don't you remember how horrible being a teenager can be? I feel ( 9 awful ) because I think people of my age would rather talk to you than to me. Last week at the shopping center, I had the (10 absolutely ) worst experience of my life. The young man who took our money asked if you were my older sister. I thought he would likely ask you out if I hadn't said "Thanks, mom" to you. It was disgusting.disgustingsuddenlycommitoffensivechallengeUnit ThreeSome people just can't keep from giving. That was the way it was with my neighbor. Despite being crippled, she was very active. In fact, she seemed to do more for the (1 community ) every day than I ever do in a year's time. I was always (2 amazed ) at the pace she kept. On Mondays and Fridays, she worked at a college giving students (3 guidance ) on what career to choose. On Tuesdays and Thursdays she helped out at a church that gave (4 aid ) to people without homes. And on the weekends, she taught local kids who needed (5 extra ) help with their schoolwork. And most importantly, she always had a positive (6 attitude ) . I don't remember once hearing her complain about her troubles. The stresses of everyday life never seemed to (7 bother ) her. Instead, she looked for every (8 occasion ) she could find to spread her good humor around. I remember when I had just lost my job. She took a day off from work to spend time with me and listen to my trifles. She never once became impatient with my (9 complaints ). She never acted like there was anything in this world more important than what I had to say.What I (10 regret ) now is not having ever really done anything for her. I suppose she never needed it.curiosityengagedtrendacceptanceenvyUnit Four"So, how about your interview?""The whole thing was bad from the beginning. I entered the room with (1 confidence ) and gave the woman a strong handshake. She said I (2 squeezed ) too hard and hurt her.I had a real hard time (3 communicating ) with her after that.""What do you mean?""Well, it was pretty apparent that I failed to (4 persuade ) her to hire me. I tried to make eye (5 contact ) with her, but she kept looking away, which made me think she wasn't very (6 focused ) or interested in what I was saying.""I know what you mean. It can be so stressful being (7 interviewed ) for a job. It's very (8 depressing ) when you don't get any encouragement from the person who is asking you questions. But, don't worry. I'm sure you made a better (9 impression ) than what you think.""I don't think I impressed her at all. I was really bothered that she kept looking away, only (10 interrupting ) me once in a while to throw in a word or two. I had to get her attention by making big gestures and changing the tone of my voice. I don't think I have ever had such a horrible experience."exchangeenableextendedcommittingrelaxedUnit FiveAIDS has emerged as the world's biggest problem over the past 25 years. The (1 epidemic流行病)has touched the lives of people around the world, but no other place has been plagued like Africa. In Africa 20 million people were(2infected)with the disease in 1999. That number continues to grow. Africa has(3accounted)for nearly four out of five AIDS related deaths in the world. It is(4estimated估计)that as of 1999, 13 million children had lost their parents to AIDS. Although there is no cure, people in more developed countries can get medicine to help. In Africa though, most do not have(5access)to new medicines. Most people neglect going to the doctor to find out if they have the disease. Because they have not been (6diagnosed诊断)with the illness, they continue to spread the disease without knowing it. Many men leave their rural homes to find work. This (7threatens危及)many people when the workers have AIDS and their behavior is not safe.In (8combats)to this crisis, many groups have set up programs. The goal is to educate people about AIDS. It is difficult to implement such programs, though, because of poor (10literacy)rates. Some education programs have worked, though. One such project people's fear of getting tested for AIDS. Other campaigns focus on schooling for the poorjudgment resentillustratedfacilities representedUnit SixI shouldn't have been surprised how tired I was after working a whole day in the factory. Each day I worked continuously assembling radios. It wasn't heavy work, but the repetition and standing for an entire day was difficult. At the end of the day, my legs (1 trembled发抖) from having stood in one place so long. We were supposed to get a rest outdoors every four hours, but (2 unfortunately ) we hardly ever were given the opportunity. The heat inside the factory was (3 intense紧张的) and many people often became ill. Although I did not become ill, my muscles often hurt wickedly near day's end. Besides, a sore body was nothing new to me. But, finding (4employment职业) was not easy, so I stayed on. I tried to (5complain ) as little as possible. After many years, I was (6 offered ) a job managing a small group of workers. I knew the job would be more stressful, but I agreed to try it anyway. During the (7 career ), I assisted another manager. After a few days, I started (8 coaching ) my group on how to do their work. They all had been my (9 peers伙伴) when I was an ordinary worker, so some of them refused to listen to me. I often had to (10 yell ) at them so they would understand I was serious. The hardest day I ever had was when I had to fire one of them.regretburningafforded efforttrialUnit SevenWhen we stepped out of our front door last evening, something seemed different. I had this (1 unusual )feeling that something bad was going to happen. Our neighborhood isn't the kind of place where you would expect to get ( 2 robbed ), but I guess you never know.My husband and I were walking across our lawn to our parked car when a man leaped from behind our bushes. The man (3 pointed )a gun at my husband and demanded that we give him our money. We of course did so, and then begged for (4 mercy )from him. He told us to get on our knees and then he shoved my husband's forehead into the dirt. He then (5 grabbed )my watch off my wrist and told me to lie down and close my eyes. I did not know if we were going to (6 Survive ). Then I heard his footsteps (7 fade )away into the darkness. I went to the police, but I couldn't (8 identify )the man because he was wearing a stocking over his head. They admitted that they probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.Of course, we can (9 afford )to lose the money. I can find a replacement for the watch he took. What bothers me though, is how (10 scared )it made me to even go out in my own yard. I hate this feeling of fear.attachedexistAlarmedsympathycommitted。

She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year,followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas,though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda,children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years,Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go,can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note,I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s the author’s attitude towards Spotify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器)was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing,Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018,and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星)hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts,advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的)clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille,a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes (探测仪),students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets (电子制表软件)or concept maps (概念图). This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses (先修课程). These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous (异步的)interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary (高等教育)students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous,well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想,尤其是教育思想,对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

In the same period the of students more than doubled, from 70,000 to than 200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen twenty-one were in universities and about 5% of women. All the universities are private institutions. Each has its governing councils, some local businessmen and local politicians as a few academics(大学教师).The state began to give grants to them fifty years , and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its from state grants. Students have to fees and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of the place he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs,including lodging and unless his parents are .Most take jobs in the summer about six weeks, but they do not normally do outside during the academic year. The Department of Education takes for the payment which cover the whole expenditure of the , but it does not exercise direct control.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage One“I like him the minutes I saw him.” “Before she even said a word, I knew there was something funny about her.” Such statements are examples of snap judgments, opinions which are formed suddenly, seemingly without any sound reason at all. Most people say snap judgments are unsound or even dangerous .They also admit they often make snap judgments and find them to be fairly sound. Snap judgments like “love at first sight” or “instant hate”, if taken seriously, have usually been considered signs of immaturity or lack of common sense. When someone has a feeling about someone else, people more often laugh than pay attention.Most people think you find out about a person by listening to what he says over a period of time. Others say “actions speak louder than words”, usually in relation to keeping promises.Because people assume “you are what you say you are”, they talk a lot to become acquainted with each other. Once two people have become acquainted, they think it was their conversation that gave them their information about each other. As behavioral sciences develop, however, researchers find the importance of speech has been overestimated. Although speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use other forms of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible we are unconsciously sending messages with every action, messages that are unconsciously picked up by others and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and reactions to them may in part account for our feelings and snap judgments.41. According to the first paragraph, a snap judgment is______.A. a sound opinion although it is formed suddenlyB. an opinion formed suddenly, seemingly without reason.C. an sound and dangerous opinion formed quickly.D. an opinion formed with careful thought.42. People become acquainted with each other through talking because they believe_____.A. they are able to judge a person by what he or she saysB. this is the only way to know othersC. they are able to find some shared interest in their talkingD. by doing so they can escape being immature43. Research shows that, while speech is important in forming opinions,__________.A. body language is of little importanceB. we are fully aware of other forms of communicationC. it is impossible to know how much it helps us form judgmentsD. its importance is thought to be greater than it really is44. According to researchers, snap judgments are partly the resultof__________A. messages we receive unconsciouslyB. our conversation with other peopleC. being unable to understand oral communicationD. not sending the correct messages consciously or unconsciously45. According to the passage,_______________.A. people use snap judgments to laugh at other peopleB. people are not talking when they are using body languageC. people use body language to communicateD. people cannot explain such feelings such as “love at first sight” or “instant hate”Passage TwoAcquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed in the US in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has killed more than 204,000 Americans---half of that number in the past few years alone. Another 185,000 of the one million infected with the HIV virus are expected to die within the next year.Nearly half of those diagnosed with the virus are blacks and Latinos. Women and youth in rural southern communities now constitute the fastest growing segment of people with AIDS.Despite such alarming numbers, the federal and state governments have been slow in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS. In place of government inactivity, a number of local organizations have emerged. One organization, the South Carolina AIDS Education Network, formed in 1985 to combat the growing number of AIDS cases. Like many local organizations, this organization suffers from a lack of money, forcing it to use its resources creatively. To reach more people in the community, some AIDS educational programs operate out of a beauty shop.46. Which of the following statements is true?A. AIDS was diagnosed in the US in the middle 1970s.B. All of those diagnosed with HIV virus are blacks and Latinos.C. The governments are very active in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS.D. The South Carolina AIDS Education Network suffers from a lack of money.47. What’s the meaning of the underlined word implementing ?A. make upB. carry outC. fight take action48. These local organizations operate educational programs out of a beauty shop in order to ____?A. save moneyB. save timeC. contact more peopleD. impress people49. According to the passage, which group of people makes up the fastest growing group of people with AIDS?A. Women and youth in urban southern communities.B. Women and youth in rural southern communities.C. Women in rural northern communities.D. Women and youth in rural northern communities.50. From the passage we can infer that___?A. Because the government is active in stopping the spread of AIDS, some local organizations have emerged.B. Half of 204,000 Americans will die during the next year.C. The local organization isn’t lacking in money, so it doesn’t have to use its resources creatively.D. Although the number of people inflected with AIDS is surprising, the federal and state government haven’t taken actions in time to carry out programs to stop the spread of AIDS.Passage ThreeWhen we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves. Studies of leadership, though, have usually found that there is almost no relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of intelligence.Some recent research by psychologist Fred Fiedler and his colleagues suggest that both intelligence and experience may be important --- but just how important depends upon how stressful the work situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers obtained measures intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.Overall , these variables (因素) were not related to one another . Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good performance ,as were men with more and less experience , or more and less stress with their bosses .However, when you look separately at those men who have high stress with their bosses, the picture changes.In high stress situations, there was no association between intelligence and performance, but there was between experience and performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful to“know the ropes”. In low stress situations, the findings were just the reverse: Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very useful in leadership.A study of fire fighters’ performance under high and low s tress conditions also found experienced officers performed best under situations of stress.None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a supervisory (管理的) job , you probably found that at least as much energy went into handling people as went into handling the job itself. Tests of intelligence at least the ones we have now do not predict success in handling people.51. The study of leadership finds________.A. The leaders are older, smarter and wiser than others.B. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with intelligence.C. The skill as a leader has no relationship with intelligence.D. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with experience.52. According to the researcher Fred Fiedler, the importance of intelligence and experience_______.A. depends on how stressful the work situation is.B. depends on what kind of task is to be accomplishedC. depends on situation and task.D. depends on leadership.53. The relationship among intelligence, experience, performance and stress is ___.A. relatedB. not relatedC. importantD. less importance54. The phrase “know the ropes” (para graph 4) means _____.A. To know the rules.B. Tie the ropes together.C. Cut the ropes.D. Not to know the rules.55. Intelligence is more useful than on other occasions in leadership_______.

This was the time when they gathered the harvest, because everybody came together at this time for the happy occasion, and because it meant they would have a period of rest from work afterwards. They would make merry and have a great holiday. Even though it was November, they considered it the beginning of the New Year! When the Romans conquered (⼊侵) Europe, they changed this time of celebration to the first of January.From then on the coming of the New Year was a symbol of a new life with new hope for the future. This custom and this meaning have lasted to this day. We celebrate the New Year hoping it will bring us a good life.46. What do you think the author's nationality is?C. Roman.D. None of the above.47. Who are NOT said to have started the celebration of the New Year?A. Chinese.B. Americans.C. GermansD. Romans.48. Why do people celebrate the New Year festival nowadays?A.

After the Romans conquered Europe, when did the Germans celebrate their New Year festival?A. November.B. December.C. JanuaryD. February.第7 页共14 页50. What's the passage mainly about?A.

Short Answer QuestionsDirections: Read the following passage and give brief answers to the questions following it. Use as few words as possible. (5 points)Passage 1At university you meet many different types of students. There are lazy students, smart students, and students who are so intelligent that they hardly have to work at all.An interesting game to play is to put people into types. For example, the ambitious student is very easy to identify. Not only do they work extremely hard but they also make sure that they know the right people and attend the right events. You'll see them chatting to lecturers after a lecture is finished. They usually look serious and carry big bags of books.The party girl is easily recognized by her fashionable clothes and the fact that at every party you go to she's surrounded by friends.Then there's the "techy", a student who knows everything about computers and technology. They can be found at most times of the day playing with a computer.51.There is a student who work extremely hard and often chat to lecturers after a lecture is finished.What kind of student is he/she?_________________________________________________.The "organizer" is another type that's very recognizable. They love to organize things, whether it's parties or club meetings. And of course, there's always the "last minute" student. They may be very good students, but they always hand in assignments at the last moment, and they arrive at a lecture one minute before it's about to begin. Although I'd rather not be a "last minute" type, that's what I am, I'm afraid!52. Who can be easily recognized by fashionable clothes?_______________________________________________.53. What's the "techy" good at?_____________________________________________.54. Who loves to organize things, whether it's parties or club meetings?______________________________________________.55.

He always ridicules the slow students when he gets a chance. For example, the teacher looks down upon a student due to her failure in maths. It's not that this student is stupid but rather she has no interest in maths. The maths teacher always gives the girl the cold shoulder and says this girl is the stupidest student he has ever seen. One time this student got the lowest score on a maths exam, the teacher made fun of her and then students guessed who had the worst score. When that student had some questions to ask the teacher, he was第9 页共14 页impatient with her. Finally, the girl said to me that paradise is very far from her. Everyday she feels Eden, but there is no way to reach it. She feels that she is a tiny lantern which is placed into the water and will slowly drift out to sea until it can't be seen. What a lonely vision that is!All students have different abilities because each of them is unique. No one can foretell his future. The teacher should learn how to treat the slower students properly, how to encourage them and not to hurt their feelings. Please leave a bit of love for these special students."It is not how much we do but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving," said Mother Terasa. After all, love can creates power.66. In this article, the writer thinks that when a student is in trouble, it is very important that the student shoulddo his best to turn to some teachers.67. The underlined word "ridicule" in the second paragraph means laugh at.68. The girl fails in every maths exam because she is tired of the maths teacher.69. What the girl tells the writer shows the girl is mentally suffering.70. The writer attacks the maths teacher strongly, but he asks all people to collect money to support thespecial students.XI.

Reading Comprehension(阅读理解:每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and othercountries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with communication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth(来回地)from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy(昏昏欲睡的). There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest12. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____________.A. sickB. stand upC. a little sleepyD. asleep13. The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly14. During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions.18. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A. They become nervous.B. they cannot get enough rest.C. They become less active.D. They eat less.19. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.A. are directly related with populationB. may cause an increase in violenceC. may lead to high birth rateD. may bring about pollution problems20. The author seems to imply that _________.A. human society is very similar to that of ratsB. birth control is essential fro a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animals[E]The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very common in the United States.D. Americans do not use cars for pleasure only.22. According to the passage, children must be taken to school by car when ________.A. their homes are over one mile away from their schoolB. there are no school buses available and the school is too far away for thechildren to go to on footC. there are a number of children in the neighborhood and their families have theirown carsD. the children are too young to walk23.

Three or four people who drive in turns to the office or the factory where they all work.D. Parents who drive their oven children to school in turns.24. What does the author think of forming car pool?A. It is a good practice.B. It is good only for mothers taking children to schoolC. It will cause parking problems.D. It helps cut down the number of cars produced each year.25. What does the author think is the problem about cars in the United States?A. There is a shortage of gasoline for a car.B. There are too many cars in the streets and on the roads.C. There are not enough cars to go around.D. Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11. What would be a good title for the passage?A. How to Test InfantsB. Parents and ChildrenC. Choosing a BabysitterD. Day Care for Babies12. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _________.A. a housekeeperB. an infantC. an adult strangerD. teenage children13. What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?A. He recommends babysitters.B. He writes baby books.C. He conducts studies on infants.D. He directs a testing center.14. According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?A. Find a private home with other babies.B. Take their babies with them to work.C. Hire an adult to come into the home.D. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation.15. The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer becomes a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very common at the present timeC. has become rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. incomes will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to themuscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "complicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around you IV. Translation(翻译:把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter with the man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。

When he opened the front gate, he immediately noticed something strange. There was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the flowers beds. Then he noticed that one of the white curtains in the front room downstairs was out of place. Jonathan never left anything out of place.He walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. He listened carefully for a few moments but could hear nothing. Inside, the front-room door was half open. Jonathan studied it thoughtfully, wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. He stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. The shadow of a man was clearlyreflected on the far wall in the evening sunlight. The man had clearly been standing behind the door since Jonathan's return. Jonathan immediately locked the door. Then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall and set about calling the police.The burglar (盗贼), a tall fellow, tried to climb through a window to get out but Jonathan had expected that. He attacked him with his umbrella, using it like a sword (剑). Three minutes later the police arrived.

The Internet is quickly becoming the place, similar to department stores, where people of the younger generation go to talk with each other.Some young people use the phone less and stay online moreto keep in touch with others. Professors are of the opinion that the online connection is a positive development for an age group that desires to keep social relations.Today, 80 percent of American young people use the Net, according to Global TGI, a market research firm. By 2010, that number will climb to 95 percent.Although most young people say they still prefer talking by telephone because they can express feelings, many say they spend more time online. There are different reasons for that. First, online communication is relatively fast, cheap, and easy--especially compared to long-distance phone calls. Then there is the awareness that the Internet is a recent development, and, therefore, cool."Y oung people always have to be up on what's new," says Henkart, a high school junior from California. "Since email is cool, young people want to find out what the excitement is about."36. Why do many young people still prefer the phone to the Internet?37. What percentage of American young people will use the Internet by 2010?38. According to professors, talking online is a positive means of _________________.39. What are the major benefits of online communication?40.

The two of them were busy with pencils and paper, checking their list of luggage (行李) when there was a ring at the door. Mrs. Jones went to open it, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged lady outside. The lady said that she lived in a flat beside theirs, and that she had come to welcome them to their new home.Mrs. Jones invited her in. "I hope you'll excuse us for all this mess (杂乱)," said Mrs. Jones, "We are trying..." "Oh, that's quite all right," said the lady. "Do you know, in some parts of this town, neighbors are not at all friendly? There are some streets-and even some buildings-where people don't know their neighbors-not even their next-door ones. But in this building, everyone is a friend with everybody else. We are one big, happy family. I'm sure you'll be happy here."The lady was greatly surprised when she visited the same flat the next time, because she found that a different man and a woman had moved in. On the lady's first visit, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had not the heart to tell her they were not the new owners of the flat, but the old owners, who had lived beside her for two years. All this time she had never visited or even noticed Mr. and Mrs. Jones, her next-door neighbors.41.

英语试题(新视野大学英语)

英语试题(新视野大学英语)英语试题(课文项)根据要求完成下列题目:1It has often been remarked that the saddest thing about youth is that it is wasted on the young.2Reading a survey report on first-year college students, I recalled the regret, "If only I knew then what I know now."3The survey revealed what I had already suspected from informal polls of students both in Macon and at the Robins Resident Center: If it (whatever it may be) won't compute and you can't drink it, smoke it or spend it, then "it" holds little value.4According to the survey based on responses from over 188,000 students, today's college beginners are "more consumeristic and less idealistic" than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.5_______6Interest in teaching, social service and the humanities is at a low, along with ethnic and women's studies. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.7_______8"I'll tell them what they can do with their music, history, literature, etc.," she was fond of saying. And that was four years ago; I tremble to think what she's earning now.9Frankly, I'm proud of the young lady (not her attitude but her success). But why can't we have it both ways? Can't we educate people for life as well as for a career? I believe we can.10______11This is where age and maturity enter. Most people, somewhere between the ages of 30 and 50, finally arrive at the inevitable conclusion that they were meant to do more than serve a corporation, a government agency, or whatever.12______13If it is a fact that the meaning of life does not dawn until middle age, is it then not the duty of educational institutions to prepare the way for that revelation? Most people, in their youth, resent the Social Security deductions from their pay, yet a seemingly few short years later find themselves standing anxiously by the mailbox.14While it's true all of us need a career, preferably a prosperous one, it is equally true that our civilization has collected an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own. And we are better for our understanding of these other contributions—be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More importantly, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.一、根据所给的提示和上下文内容将下列空缺内容补充完整:A.Most of us finally have the insight that quality of life is not entirely determined by a balance sheet. Sure, everyone wants to be financially comfortable, but we also want to feel we have a perspective on the world beyond the (1)c_____(界限,限制) of our (2)o_____(工作,职业); we want to be able to(3)r _____(提供,给予) service to our fellow men and to our God.B. Not surprising in these hard times, the students' major objective "is to be financially well off". Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.(4)A _____(因此),today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.C. If we cannot, then that is a conviction against our educational system —kindergarten, (5)e_____(初级的), secondary and higher. In a time of increasing specialization, more than ever, we need to know what is truly important in life.D.That's no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of college instructors during her first year on the job—even before she completed her two-year associate degree.(1)_____ (2)_____ (3)_____ (4)_____ (5)_____二、将补充完整的上述内容按照正确的顺序填到文章中:5_____ 7_____ 10_____ 12_____英语试题参考答案(课文项)一、(1)confines(2)occupation(3)render(4)Accordingly (5)elementary二、5、B 7、D 10、C 12、AB.

This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.Until now the County Council has only been prepared to provide busservices for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reason exists.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it would not provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a Council official has said the cost to parents should be less than £6.50 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with their parents, to see if they would like their children to take part in the new plan.1. The children the Council ran buses for in the past were those ________.A. whose parents were worried about their safety on the roadsB. who had special reasonC. whose parents would like to pay the bus serviceD. who had to travel a long journey2.

They have been able to master basic language structure and many other things grammatically, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid other people might laugh at their mistakes or they think those to whom they are speaking might not understand them.It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, write beautiful and fluent English. This proves perfectly that they do have the ability to organize their ideas in English. The problem is that they do not have enough practice and confidence. Maybe they are afraid of speaking English openly.The best way out, as a result, would be a bit more confidence and practice. No one would laugh at you even though you make some mistakes for they understand English is a foreign language to you. Don’t care too much about the small mistakes you may make in your conversation because you can correct them easily if you practice enough. But you do have to take great care to make people understand what you are trying to say. If you keep practicing English all the time, you will surely find that talking with a native speaker is not at all difficult.6. This passage is mainly discussing __________.A. how to master basic language structureB. how to write beautiful and fluent EnglishC. how to organize your ideas in EnglishD. how to talk to a foreigner properly and fluently7.

Part I Listening Comprehension (20 points, 20 questions)Section ADirections: in this section, you will hear 10 short conversations. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked a), b), c) and d), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter with a single line through the center.Example: you will hear: M: Is it possible for you to work late, Miss Grey.W: Work late? I suppose so, if you really think it’s necessary.Q: Where do you think this conversation most probably took place?You will read: A) At the officeB) in the waiting roomC) at the airportD) in a restaurantFrom the conversation we know that the two were talking about some work they had to finish in the evening. This is most likely to have taken place at the office. Therefore, A) “at the office” is the best answer. You should choose [A] and mark it with a single line through the centre.。

PartⅡReading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many people, particularly recent college graduates, dream of owning their own businesses. Although such ventures are often exciting and profitable, the new entrepreneur should thoroughly investigate and plan the situation before plunging in. the first step should be to assemble a board of advisers, including a lawyer, an accountant, and an insurance representative. These individuals can provide valuable information and counsel. Securing the necessary licenses and permits is also a precondition and may require research to determine what is necessary.Most successful small-business owners have considerable experience in the field working for others before they become independent. They also begin with substantial financial backing and a good location. Renting space may be preferable or necessary at the start, but the lease on the building must be examined carefully before it is signed. The new owner should be thoroughly familiar with the market and the competition. A person who wants to buy an existing business can often learn the historyof the company and its prospects from the owner’s records. Once the business gets started, accurate and complete records should be kept to monitor the company’s progress and profits.Financing may be the most difficult step for small-business owners. They may rely on their own savings or borrow money from a bank or the Small Business Administration. Some suppliers will sell merchandise on credit, and manufacturers may be willing to finance the purchase of equipment. If the new business is a corporation, the owner may choose to sell stock.Once the new business is started, the Small Business Administration is a good source of advice. Several of its programs are designed to help new owners with the advice and expertise of retired executives. A nearby university or trade association may also help owners locate local sources of help.New business owners often report that they work long, hard hours but find the experience extremely satisfying. The realization that their efforts will produce actual results in the form of profit, success, and pride can be quite motivating. Those who have worked for others enjoy the opportunity to make decisions and follow projects through to completion. Many report that hard work has never been so enjoyable before. Careful research, investigation, and planning at the outset do not guarantee success, but they provide a good foundation for the new small business and its owner.21.The main idea of the passage is about _________.A)the history of the small businessB)tips on how to start your own businessC)how a small business worksD)the best way to build up a profitable business22.Which of the following advisers is most necessary before you begin?A) A retired executive.B) A bank officer.C) A professor of economics.D) A lawyer.23.The article indicates that most successful small-business owners are _______.A)recent college graduatesB)new entrepreneursC)financially secureD)experienced in the field24.One advantage of buying an existing business over starting a new one is that ______.A)it has records readily availableB)it minimizes the competitionC)it is cheaperD)it already has many customers25.New business owners may avoid potential problems by ______.A)hard workB)selling stockC)careful planningD)buying on creditQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, hedoes in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对,对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.26.We can infer from the passage that _____.A)English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flatsB)people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flatsC)people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flatsD)modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living27.What is said about blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?A)They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.B)They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.C)They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.D)They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.28.The word "rage" (Line 9) means _____.A)be ignoredB)develop with great forceC)encourage people greatlyD)be in fashion29.Some people oppose the building of flats because _____.A)the living expenses for each individual family are higherB)it involves higher cost compared with the building of housesC)they believe people like to live in houses with gardensD)the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats30.The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses _____.A)do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the cityB)have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service workC)take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered communityD)have to spend more money and time traveling to work every dayQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageMost people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it.There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity ofthe special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standardof life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested (无利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.31.Disagreement arises when people try to decide _____.A)how much more wisdom we have now than beforeB)what wisdom is and how to develop itC)if there is a great increase of wisdom in our ageD)whether wisdom can be developed or not32.According to the author, "wisdom" is the ability to _____.A)carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research workB)give each important problem some careful considerationC)acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledgeD)give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem33.Lowering the infant death-rate may _____.A)prove to be helpful everywhere in the worldB)give rise to an increase in population in EuropeC)cause food shortages in Asia and AfricaD)raise the living standard of the people in Africa34.The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that _____.A)it's extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in problemB)success in medical research has its negative effectsC)scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human raceD)it's unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine35. What is the main idea of the passage? _____A)It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man.B)The more knowledge one has, the wiser one becomes.C)Any increase of knowledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance of wisdom.D)Wisdom increases in proportion to one's age.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (30 points)Section A (10 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.
