《高级英语阅读二》期末试题（请把答案写在试题下面的“答案卷”上，在离线作业栏目提交）I Read Lesson 8 ，Text A “The Girl in the Fifth Row”， translate the following two sentences into Chinese. (阅读教材《高级英语阅读教程（下册）》第八课课文A，翻译以下句子)On my first day as an assistant professor of education at the University of Southern California, I entered the classroom with a great deal of anxiety. My large class responded to my awkward smile and brief greeting with silence. For a few moments I fussed with my notes. Then I started my lecture, stammering; no one seemed to be listening.II Read lesson 3 ,Text A “To the Victor Belongs the Language”, answer the following Questions (阅读教材第三课课文A ，回答问题)：To the Victor Belongs the LanguageBy Rita Mae BrownLanguage is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going. A study of the English language reveals a dramatic history and astonishing versatility. It is the language of survivors, of conquerors, of laughter.A word is more like a pendulum than a fixed entity. It can sweep by your ear and through its very sound suggest hidden meanings; preconscious associations. Listen to these words: "blood," "tranquil," "democracy.'' Besides their literal meanings, they carry associations that are cultural as well as personal.One word can illustrate this idea of meaning in flux: "revolution." The word enters English in the 14th century from Latin via French. (At least that's when it was first written; it may have been spoken earlier.) "Revolution" means a turning around; that was how it was used. Most often "revolution'' was applied to astronomy to describe a planet revolving in space. The word carried no political meaning."Rebellion" was the loaded political word. It too comes from Latin (as does about 60 percent of our word pool), and it means a renewal of war. In the I4th century "rebellion" was used to indicate a resistance to lawful authority. This can yield amusing results. Whichever side won called the losers rebels—they, the winners, being the repositories of virtue andmore gunpowder. This meaning lingers today. The Confederate fighters are called rebels. Since the North won that war, it can be dismissed as a rebellion and not called a revolution. Whoever wins the war redefines the language."Revolution" did not acquire a political meaning in English until at least the 16th century. Its meaning—a circular movement — was still tied to its origin but had spilled over into politics. It could now mean a turnaround in power. This is more complicated than you might think.The 16th century, vibrant, cruel, progressive, held as a persistent popular image the wheel of fortune—an image familiar to anyone who has played with a tarot deck. Human beings dangle on a giant wheel. Some are on the bottom turning upward, some are on the top, and some are hurtling toward the ground. It's as good an image as any for the sudden twists and turns of Fate, Life or the Human Condition. This idea was so dominant at the time that the word "revolution" absorbed its meaning. Instead of a card or a complicated explanation of the wheel of fortune, that one word captured the concept. It's a concept we would do well to remember.Politically, "rebellion" was still the more potent word. Cromwell's seizure of state power in the mid-I 7th century came to be called the Great Rebellion because Charles Ⅱ followed Cromwell in the restoration of monarchy. Cromwell didn't call his own actions rebellious. In I689 when William and Mary took over the throne of England, the event was tagged the Glorious Revolution. "Revolution" is benign here and politically inferior in intensity to "rebellion".By 1796 a shift occurred and "revolution'' had come to mean the subversion or overthrow of tyrants. Rebellion, specifically, was a subversion of the laws. Revolution was personal. So we had the American Revolution, which dumped George III out of the Colonies, and the French Revolution, which gave us the murder of Louis XVI and the spectacle of a nation devouring itself. If you're a Marxist you can recast that to mean one class destroying another. At any rate, the French Revolution was a bloodbath and "revolution" began to get a bad name as far as monarchists were concerned and holy significance as far as Jacobins were concerned. By that time "revolution" was developing into the word we know today—not just the overthrow of a tyrant but action based on belief in a new principle. Revolution became a political idea, not just a political act.The Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Cuban Revolution —by now "revolution" is the powerful word, not "rebellion.'' In the late 1960's and early 1970's young Americans used the word "revolution" indiscriminately. True, they wanted political power, they were opposedto tyrants and believed in a new political principle (or an old one, depending on your outlook) called participatory democracy. However, that period of unrest, with its attendant creativity, did not produce a revolution. The word quickly became corrupted until by the 80's "revolution'' was a word used to sell running shoes.Whither goest thou, Revolution?1. What is the implied meaning of the last sentence of paragraph 1 “It is the language of survivors ,of conquerors ,of laughter”2, Can you give some other examples in English or in Chinese to show that language is constantly changing?III Read lesson 1 Text B , Do True or False Questions（阅读教材第1课课文B ，判断对错）:I Became Her TargetMy favorite teacher's name was "Dead-Eye" Bean. Her real name was Dorothy. She taught American history to eighth graders in the junior high section of Creston, the high school that served the north end of Grand Rapids, Mich. It was the fall of 1944. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president;American troops were battling their way across France; Joe DiMaggio was still in the service; the Montgomery bus boycott was more than a decade away, and I was a 12-year-old black newcomer in a school that was otherwise all white. My mother, who had been a widow in New York, had married my stepfather, a Grand Rapids physician, the year before, and he had bought the best house he could afford for his new family. The problem for our new neighbors was that their neighborhood had previously been pristine(in their terms) and they were ignorant about black people. The prevailing wisdom in the neighborhood was that we were spoiling it and that we ought to go back where we belonged (or, alternatively, ought not to intrude where we were not wanted). There was a lot of angry talk among the adults, but nothing much came of it.But some of the kids, those first few weeks, were quite nasty. They threw stones at me, chased me home when I was on foot and spat on my bike seat when I was in class. For a time, I was a pretty lonely, friendless and sometimes frightened kid. I was just transplanted from Harlem, and here in Grand Rapids, the dominant culture was speaking to me insistently.I can see now that those youngsters were bullying and I was culturally disadvantaged. I knew then that they were bigoted( 偏执的 ), but the culture spoke to me more powerfully than my mind and I felt ashamed for being different - a nonstandard person. I now know that Dorothy Bean understood most of that and disapproved of it. So things began to change when I walked into her classroom. She was a pleasant-looking single woman, who looked old and wrinkled to me at the time, but who was probably about 40.Whereas my other teachers approached the problem of easing in their new black pupil by ignoring him for the first few weeks, Mrs. Bean went right at me. On the morning after having read our first assignment, she asked me the first question. I later came to know that in Grand Rapids, she was viewed as a person who believed, among other things, that Negroes were equal.I answered her question and the follow-up. They weren't brilliant answers, but they did establish the fact that I had read the assignment and that I could speak English. Later in the hour, when one of my classmates had failed to give an answer, Miss. Bean came back to me with a question that required me to clean up the girl's mess and established me as a smart person.Thus, the teacher began to give me human dimensions, though not perfect ones for an eighth grader. It was somewhat better to be a teacher's pet than merely a dark presence in the back of the room. A few days later, Miss Bean became the first teacher ever to require me to think. She asked my opinion about something Jefferson had done. In those days, all my opinions were derivative( 缺乏独创性的 ). I was for Roosevelt because my parents were and I was for the Yankees because my older buddy from Harlem was a Yankee fan. Besides, we didn't have opinions about historical figures like Jefferson. Like our high school building or Mayor Welch, he just was.After I stared at her for a few seconds, she said: "Well, should he have bought Lousiana or not?""I guess so," I replied tentatively."Why?" she shot back.Why? What kind of question was that, I complained silently. But I ventured an answer. Day after day, she kept doing that to me, and my answers became stronger and more confident. She was the first teacher to give me the sensethat thinking was part of education and that I could form opinions that had some value.Her final service to me came on a day when my mind was wandering and I was idly digging my pencil into the writing surface on the arm of my chair. Miss Bean suddenly threw a hunk of gum eraser at me. By amazing chance, it hit my hand and sent the pencil flying. She gasped, and I crept( 爬 ) shamefacedly after my pencil as the class roared. That was the ice breaker.Afterward, kids came up to me to laugh about "Old Dead-Eye Bean." The incident became a legend, and I, a part of that story, became a person to talk to.1.The story happened during the Second World War.2.I was not the only black kid in the school .3.The children in the neighborhood are not friendly to me but the adults didn’t discriminate us.4.I was just moved from another place to Grand Rapids.5. Dorothy Bean was an old kind teacher.6.The other teachers neglected their black pupil in their class.7.Dorothy Bean believed that Negroes were equal with the whites.8.Dorothy Bean want to show her care to me by asking me questions.9.It is Dorothy Bean who taught me how to think .10.I disliked Miss bean finally because she threw the gum eraser at me which made me laughed at by my classmates.答案卷I，Translation在我作为南加州大学的一名教育学助理教授的第一天，我非常焦虑的走进了教室。

高中英语必修二期末测试卷2第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节:(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
APerhaps the most extraordinary(奇特的) building put up in the 19th century was the Crystal Palace(水晶宫)which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all the other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggestbuildings of all the time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. Plenty of goods were sent to the exhibition from all parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on show. Though in those days, travelling was not as easy as it is today, steamboats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in Englian, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the money from the exhibition was used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to the South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.( ) 1. The Crystal Palace was built up ___________. .A. in the 1950sB. in the 1900sC. shortly before 1851D. before 1951( ) 2. People from many countries came to the Crystal Palace mainly to _______. .A.buy goodsB. visit an exhibitionC.travelD. enjoy the Crystal Palace itself( ) 3. What happened to the Crystal Palace in 1936？A. It caught a terrible fire.B. It disappeared suddenlyC. It was moved away to the south of London.D. It was rebuilt.( ) 4. The Crystal Palace was famous to all because_______. .A. it was the biggest building in the world then.B. so many visitors had been there.C.it was made of iron and glass.D. it was burnt down at last.( ) 5. The writer ________.A. thought the Crystal Palace very usefulB. sang high praise for the Crystal PalaceC. wanted the Crystal Palace to be rebuiltD. was one of the visitors who had been to the Crystal PalaceBPeople believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing the n？If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how toclimb, you’er wrong. Many Americans are learning to clim in city gyms(体育馆). Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wal l？To climb, you need special shoes and a harness(保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult parts is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercises for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.( )6. What can we infer from the passag e？A.People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.B. It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.( )7. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is _______.A.to tie ropes to your harnessB. to control your fearC. to move away from the wallD. to climb straight up( )8. The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means.___A.settlementB.exerciseC. excitementD. Tiredness ( )9. Why does the author write this passag e？A.To tell people where to find gyms.B.To prove the basic need for climbing.C.To encourage people tp climb mountains.D. To introduce the sport of wall climbing.CAt one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents(文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.Does all this mean environmental concerns(环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling(回收利用), said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity.The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.( ) 10. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ____.A.the rapid development of small businessesB.the opening up of new marketsC.the printing of high quality copiesD.the increased use of the Internet( )11. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ____.A.to encourage printing more quality documentsB.to develop new printers using recycled paperC.to find new materials for making paperD.to plant more fast-growing trees( ) 12. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ____.A.people are concerned about the environmentB.printers in many offices are working overtimeC.small companies need more hard copiesD.they see a growing market for printers( ) 13. What would be the best title for the text?puters and Printers.B.E-mail and the Business World.C.Internet Revolution and Environment.D.Modern Technology and New Markets.DPeople realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence（智力）as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient(耐心) and understanding.The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.14. Dogs who help blind people must learn .A. to obey all ordersB. to obey only safe ordersC. never to cross roadsD. to cross road when ordered to do so15. Race horses are hard to train because they are .A. faster than other horsesB. smaller than other horsesC. clever than other horseD. more nervous than other horses第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。

The cities of Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus Valley possessed a number of characteristics which distinguished them a truly urban. The cities were very much larger and more densely populated than any previous settlement, and their function was clearly differentiated from that of the surrounding villages. In the cities the old patterns of kinship relations were replaced by a complex hierarchy of social classes based on the specialization of labor. Moreover, the need to keep records led to the development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind.When the basis of city life was established in Europe the urban tradition was drawn from the ancient cities of the middle East, via the civilizations of Greece and Rome, we can trace three main phases in the growth of the West European city. The first of these is the medieval phase, which extends from the beginning of the 11th century A. D to about 1500. The second is the renaissance and Baroque phase, which can be traced from about 1 500 to the beginning of the 19th century. The third is the modern phase, extending from the early 19th century to the present day.Every medieval city began as a small settlement which grew up round a geographical or cultural focal point. This would often be a permanent structure such as a stronghold, a cathedral or a large church. In districts where travel and trade were well established, it might be a market, a river crossing, or a place where two or more trade routes met. In studies of urban geography other oldest part of a town is referred to as the nuclear settlement. There are many small towns in Europe where it is still possible to trace the outline of the original nuclear settlement. It is, of course, much more difficult to do this in the case if a large modern city which has grown to may times its original size. (358 words)1. The ancient cities were characterized by all the following EXCEPT _____A. larger populationsB. different locationsC. different rolesD. different social classes2. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?A. West European cities established their own urban tradition。

Then answcr 伽questions that follow?(5 points each The Consumers UnionA The Consumers Union (CU) was founded in 1936 to give information and adviceto the public about goods and services? By doing research in laboratories and conducting testson products, scientists were able to rate them, or tell if they were good or bad. They startedby testing food like milk and cereal-and then personal products like soap and stockings. There were three categories in their ratings: Best Buy , Also Accc p table , and N otAcceptable? Later, CU began testing cars and home appliances , such as fans , radios , andother small machinesB In the same year it was founded , the organization began publishing a magazine forits mBmbers , Consumers Union Reports , listing the ratings of products that they tested.In1940 , CU sent out a questionnaire, that is, a list of questions , to its members, asking themto rate the products that they used. This questionnaire became so popular that it hascontinued until today」n 1942. the magazine1 s name was changed to Consumer Reports andsold to the general public?C By the 1950s, the number of people buying Consumer Reports (CR) reached 400 ,000. During this decade, the magazine reported on the dangers of tobacco , the poor quality ofcolor TV sets, the contamination of milk bynuclear testing , and other news that wascontroversial, or caused debate.ln the 1960s, the magazinereported that the price of autoinsurance varied widely, or was different, among companies? In the 1970s, it reported on thepollution of America1 s drinking water by factories. These articles won national prizes becausethey informed the public about problems that needed to be solved?D In the 1980s, CR began publishing special newsletters for different readers oncars , travel , health , and even one for children on how to earn and save money. In the 1990s,the Consumers Union moved to a new testing and research center with 50 modernlaboratories in Yonkers , New York. By this time , CR had over 5 mil lion magazine readersand 1 million online readers.

They have made many audio and video recordings , matching the sound and behaviorof the elephants in order to understand the meaning from observed patterns.B Their findings are that elephants use many senses tocommunicate: sight, smell ,taste , hearing, and touch? For example, when two female elephants greet each other after along separation, they stand side by side, flapping their ears , touching and smelling each1367other with their trunks , making rumbling sounds? The longer they've been separated, thelouder and more demonstrative they act when they meet again.C Elephant rumbling is a low , infrasonic sound of 12-20 Hertz CHz) that humans cannot hear. C Human range is between 20-20,000 Hz.) Researchers have divided thisrumbling into three main signals: contact, "Let's go," and mating. The contact call is usedby elephants that are miles away to communicate their location to otherherds? All day,female leaders rumble to other groups , who rumble back. They stay far apart to ensureenough food for all the members and later meet at a watering hole and greet each other.D Another type of rumbling is the ”Let's go n signal of a head female when shewants to leave a place after drinking or resting. Facing the direction she wants to go, sherumbles until the others begin to answer and follow her. The third type is the mating rumblethat a male in musth emits. Females in a herd usually answer him , although none of themmay be receptive , because they mate only once every four years. However, when the malehears them , he travels to the group to assess the situation.E A final interesting form of communication among elephants is the way they acttoward their dead .If they come upon elephant bones , they stand around touching the skullsand tusks with their trunks. When researchers left the bones of other large animals, likerhinos or buHaloes, in these places, elephants examined them briefly, but they touched onlythe elephant remains.In India, where elephants are often killed by trains , other elephantscome to the scene to caress and mourn the dead ones?Decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write n T n for True and n F n for Falseon the Answer Sheet.26.Researchers are studying elephants in order to understand their communicationpatterns.27.When female elephants greet each other after a long separation, they rumble andwalk away.28.Elephant rumbling has several meanings?29.The word emits in paragraph D probably means produces.30.The word remains in paragraph E is closest in meaning to stays behind.section 1 New wordsMatch the words on meanings on the right.

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.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When I applied under Early Decision to the University of Pennsylvania four years ago, I was motivated by two powerful emotions: ambition and fear. The ambition was to fulfill my lifelong expectation of attending an Ivy League school; the fear was that without the advantage offered by Early Decision, I wouldn’t make the cut. A Penn admissions officer told me that the previous year they had accepted 45 percent of Early Decision applicants and just 29 percent of total applicants. The implication was clear: applying under Early Decision dramatically improves your chances of acceptance. At Brown University, my other favorite, applying early did not confer any advantage. While Brown was my No. 1 choice, Penn was a close second, and I desperately wanted to make sure I got into one of the two.I applied just before the Nov. 1 deadline, and six weeks later I got my acceptance package.I was thrilled and relieved. While my friends spent winter vacation finishing as many as18 applications each, I relaxed. On a school trip to France over spring break, I drank wine while everyone else struggled with international calling cards to phone home and find out where they’d been accepted. People cried about getting rejected, or began the difficult and agonizing process of choosing between two or more schools. Strangely, none of this made me feel better about having applied early. It made me feel worse. When a lot of peoplefrom my class got into Brown, I wondered if I, too, could have.Penn sent a discombobulating array of material to incoming freshmen over the summer. As the pile of mail mounted, so did my concerns that I had made the wrong choice. I had been to Penn only one day, in October of my senior year. I realize now I did not know nearly enough about myself or the school. Picking classes was far more arcane than I had expected (or than it would have been at a smaller school). And when I got to the campus, I found that fraternities and sororities were a more noticeable and obnoxious presence than the 30 percent student membership had suggested to me.It wasn't long before I knew Penn was not right for me and I looked into transferring. For me, it was about more than just changing schools. I wanted to have the traditional application experience I'd missed out on during my first go-round. The only school on my list that allowed transfers during the second semester of freshman year was Wesleyan, so I waited out the whole year, and then applied to Yale, Brown and Wesleyan. I got into Wesleyan. The irony that I could have gotten in sooner, without getting rejected by the other schools, was not lost on me. But I know I made the right decision.To high-school seniors who want to avoid making the same mistake I did, my advice is simple: don’t apply under Early Decision unless you are absolutely sure that the school is your first choice. And, just as important, don’t let your parents or college-guidance counselor persuades you to apply under Early Decision. They may have their own agenda, or at least their own perception of who you are and what you want. As I discovered, no one can really know what you want better than yourself, and even you may need time to figure out what that is.21. The main reasons for the author to apply under Early Decision are _______.A. pride and ambitionB. dream and fearC. easiness and effort-savingD. trouble-saving and release22. It can be inferred from the text that the main advantage of Early Decision is that ______.A. you can graduate from the high school earlierB. you don’t worry about the resultsC. you needn’t take the entrance examinationD. you’re more likely to be accepted23. The description of the author’s feelings in Paragraph 2 shows that _______.A. he is satisfied with his choiceB. there are many advantages of being accepted earlierC. less effort is needed under Early DecisionD. he is happy with and doubts about his decision24. We can draw a conclusion from the text that ________.A. a full consideration is needed before applyingB. students should avoid the short cutC. a quick decision will do you no goodD. the author shouldn’t apply under Early Decision25. From the text we can see that the writer seems _________.A. regretfulB. optimisticC. gloomyD. sensitivePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects, appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, and the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. “Talk, talk, talk,”the advocates of violence say, “all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser” It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. “Possible, my lord,” the barrister replied, “none the wiser, but surely farbetter informed.” Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.26. What is the best title for this passage?A. Advocating Violence.B. Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice.C. Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution.D. The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.27. Recorded history has taught us___________.A. violence never solves anything.B. nothing.C. the bloodshed means nothing.D. everything.28. It can be inferred that truly reasonable men___________.A. can’t get a hearing.B. are looked down upon.C. are persecuted.D. Have difficulty in advocating law enforcement.29. “He was none the wiser” means__________.A. he was not at all wise in listening.B. He was not at all wiser than nothing before.C. He gains nothing after listening.D. He makes no sense of the argument.30. According the author the best way to solve race prejudice is__________.A. law enforcement.B. knowledge.C. nonviolence.D. Mopping up the violent mess.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry-William Shakespeare-but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise - making.The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus-and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side –don’t usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight -seeing along with their play going. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.The townsfolk don’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.Anyway, the townsfolk can’t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 per cent occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better.) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over) –lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.31. From the first two paragraphs, we learn that__________.A. the townsfolk deny the RSC’s contribution to the town’s revenueB. the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stageC. the two branches of the RSC are not on good termsD. the townsfolk earn little from tourism32. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.A. the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separatelyB. the playgoers spend more money than the sightseersC. the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoersD. the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater33. By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally”(Line 2-3, Paragraph 4), the authorimplies that__________.A. Stratford cannot afford the expansion projectsB. Stratford has long been in financial difficultiesC. the town is not really short of moneyD. the townsfolk used to be poorly paid34. According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because__________.A. ticket prices can be raised to cover the spendingB. the company is financially ill-managedC. the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptableD. the theatre attendance is on the rise35. From the text we can conclude that the author__________.A. is supportive of both sidesB. favors the townsfolk’s viewC. takes a detached attitudeD. is sympathetic to the RSC.Passage FourQuestions 35 to 40 are based on the following passage.Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago “being employed” meant working as a factory labourer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper- class employees have been the fastest- growing groups in our working population- growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the ex- pans/on of industrial production.Yet you will fine little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist’s trade or bookkeeping (簿记). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge36. It is implied that fifty years ago__________.A. eighty percent of American working people were employed in factoriesB. twenty percent of American intellectuals were employeesC. the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as thatof industrial workersD. the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that ofindustrial workers37. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry,___________.A. factory labourers will overtake intellectual employees in numberB. there are as many middle -class employees as factory labourersC. employers have attached great importance to factory labourersD. the proportion of factory labourers in the total employee population has decreased 38. The word “dubious” (L. 2, Para. 2) most probably means__________.A. valuableB. usefulC. doubtfulD. helpful39. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is__________.A. less important than awareness of being a good employeeB. as important as the ability to deal with public relationsC. more important than employer-employee relationsD. as important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organization40. From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one__________.A. to be more successful in his careerB. to be more specialized in his fieldC. to solve technical problemsD. to develop his professional skillPart Three Paraphrase (20%)Directions: Explain the following sentences in your own words.41.

2020年上学期《高级阅读（二）》期末考试试卷课程名称：1.(阅读理解)Reading Comprehension (30%, 2×15) Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. In giving a business presentation, many speakers think that if their idea is strong, their audience will get it readily. They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users. What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view, good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business presentation, the fewer the points, the better the message gets passed on. You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width of coverage. Additionally, you make your ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer. Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation. It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is clear, it is easier to transfer it. Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.(本题10.0分)1.(单选题)Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea______.(本题2.0分)A.the more powerful their speech will beB. the more meaningful their speech will beC. the more easily the audience will understand itD.the harder the audience will find it to follow答案：C.解析：无.2.(单选题)Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation?(本题2.0分)A.To pass on the messages better.B.To avoid wasting too much time.C.To allow audience to take notes.D.

Blue Jeans Company was established in October 2012 and operates as a partnership between Elena Horowitz and James Foster. In fact, it began in Elena’s basement when they sold jeans to friends. And now the company has grown to have its own online store, relationships with suppliers in Alisa, and local factories. The company has had its revenues double every two months. For our day-to-day operations, Blue Jeans Company has established several key relationships and we can easily expand our production when the demand for our goods increases. We obtain the best organic cotton from two suppliers, one located in Turkey and the other in Japan, which means that their supplies are produced without the use of any chemicals. Once t he shipment arrives in the US, it’ll be routed to our production and shipping partner in Los Angeles. We work closely with our partner to ensure quality through regular checks. It is also where the products will ship out. Our office is located on 2029 Century Park East where all staff work together, handling all online order processing and ensuring the purchase and delivery of the products run smoothly. It’s also where all requests for refunds arehandled in addition to the future launch of the jean-recycling program.(本题10.0分)1.(单选题) Blue Jeans Company first started it business by______.(本题2.0分)A.selling its product to friendsB.doing business in an online storeC.exporting jeans to Asian countriesD. supplying raw materials to local factories2.(单选题)“Organic cotton” in Line 1, para. 3, probably means “cotton______’(本题2.0分)A.manufactured automaticallyB.grown in local regionsC.produced without using chemicalsD.imported from foreign countries3.(单选题) To ensure product quality, the company______.(本题2.0分)es man-made materialsB. observes strict regulationsC.checks its products regularlyD.often asks for clients’ opinions答案：C.解析：无.4.(单选题)The company’s products will ship out from______.(本题2.0分)A.New YorkB.Los AngelesC.TurkeyD.Japan答案：B.解析：无.5.(单选题)What will the company do in the future?(本题2.0分)A.Sell its products worldwide.B.Handle all its orders online.C.

Falls are the number one cause of death to old people athome. Most old people can live safely at home if they make a few changes. Falls are common as people are getting older. Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very simple changes. Here are a few suggestions: Mark trouble spots with bright tapes. The first and last steps on stairs are usually high-risk accident areas. Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas would make these spots easier to see. Put grab bars (扶手) in the bathroom.A large number of falls occur in the bathroom. This is unfortunate because it’s easy to make the area from accidents. Putting grab bars in the bathroom gives people something to hang on to. Invest in a personal alarm. A personal alarm can be started if a person falls or otherwise gets in trouble. With the push of a button, the alarm automatically sends a signal, which gets someone to call and see if the person needs help.(本题10.0分)1.(单选题)By making some very simple changes at home, old people________.(本题2.0分)A. are free from home accidentsB.can improve their healthC. are likely to live longerD.can live more safely2.(单选题)Last steps on stairs may become a high-risk accident area if they are _________.

Reading comprehension: (15%)TEXT A THE PLEDGEThe old woman glanced for a moment at what he had brought to pawn, but at once stared in the eyes of her uninvited visitor. She looked intently, maliciously and mistrustfully.A minute passed; he even fancied something like a sneer in her eyes, as though she had already guessed everything. He felt that he was losing his head, the he was almost frightened, so frightened that if she were to look like that and not say a word for another half minute, he thought he would have run away from her."Why do you look at me as though you did not know me?" he said suddenly, also with malice. "Take it if you like, if not I'll go elsewhere, I am in a hurry."He had not even thought of saying this, but it was suddenly of itself. The old woman recovered herself, and her visitor's resolute tone evidently restored her confidence."But why, my good sir, all of a minute... What is it?" she asked, looking at the pledge."The silver cigarette case; I spoke of it last time, you know."She held out her hand."But how pale you are, to be sure... and your hands are trembling too? Have you been bathing, or what?""Fever," he answered abruptly. "You can't help getting pale... if you've nothing to eat," he added, with difficulty articulating the words.His strength was failing him again. But his answer sounded like the truth; the old woman took the pledge."What is it?" she asked once more, scanning Raskolnikov intently and weighing the pledge in her hand."A thing... cigarette case...Silver... Lookat it.""It does not seem somehow like silver...How he had wrapped it up!"Try to untie the string and turning to the window, to the light (all her windows were shut, in spite of the stifling heat), she left him altogether for some seconds and stood with her back to him. He unbuttoned his coat and freed the axe from the noose, but did not yet take it out altogether, simply holding it in his right hand under the coat. His hands were fearfully weak, he felt them every moment growing more numb and more wooden. He was afraid he would let the axe slip and fall... A sudden giddiness came over him.1. "... she had already guessed everything" means that the old woman ________A. was sure that he had stolen something.B. was aware that he was sick unto death.C. was sure that he was up to somethingevil.D. knew what he had brought her.2. That Raskolnikov had probably done some careful planning, prior to his commission of a crime is indicated by which of the following statements?A. "She looked intently, maliciously andmistrustfully."B. "Why do you look at me as though youdid not know me?"C. "Have you been bathing, or what?"D. "How he has wrapped it up!"3. The word "pledge" as used here in the passage means ________A. something given as security for a loanB. a promise to be loyal.C. a written agreement.D. anything that is stolen4. The fact that "all her windows were shut" is probably indicative of ________A. the old woman's poor physicalcondition.B. the old woman's caution.C. Raskolnikov's cunning.D. nothing more than a mere coincidence.5. The mood of the passage is one ofA. thoughtfulnessB. disgustC. nonchalance.D. anxietyTEXT B WIT AND HUMORI am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white beards); but even an ignorant person may express an opinion in this matter.I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and lovable quality, for humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners, to which the greatMaster of Marionettes has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest. But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorous man radiates a general pleasure.I admire wit, but I have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally: it never points an impertinent finger into my defects. A wit's tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkey's stick ___ I may gallop the faster for its prodding, but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best.Wit keeps the season's fashions and is precise in the phrases and judgements of the day, but humor is concerned with homelyeternal things.6. The author's attitude toward wit can most accurately be described as _______A. cautious admiration.B. wholehearted amusement.C. tolerant disapprovalD. aversion7. A wit's tongue is like a donkey's stick in that both ______A. consider their victim's feelings.B. are gently persuasiveC. goad their victims.D. are used with definite purpose.8. The author thinks of humor as an ally because it ________A. seldom fails to amuse people.B. is enjoyableC. can be employed against others.D. does not cause discomfort.9. Implied but not stated:A. Humor is always genuine.B. Wit is more nimble that humor.C. Humorous persons have pleasant faces.D.Humor comes by more naturallythan wit.10. The distinction between wit and humor is _______A. of no particular importance.B. solely a matter of opinion.C. subtle.D. exact and important.TEXT C Which is a catalog card in a library and answer question 11.PR2065G31 B81966 Burrow, John Anthony.A Reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by J.

Estimates of costsD. Large or small repairsTEXT EWherever a dramatic author is asked to discuss "the mission of the playwright", there is a great temptation for him to become pretentious. Instead of being just a hardworking writer, he suddenly becomes a man with a mission. For a moment this makes him feel quite important and he begins to think about his mission: to hold up the mirror to nature, to interpret a generation to itself, to question outmoded conventions, to protest, to extol, to criticize--- and so on through the cliches.Ask a hundred playwrights what they see as their mission and you will get a hundred different answers. Playwriting, like any other kind of writing, is a highly personal matter. The dramatist writes out of a personal need to express himself on some facet of his world--- on social abuse, personal morality, the need for love and understanding, loneliness, or whatever. None of these is better than anyother, only different. Nor is the playwright any less worthy who simply sets out to entertain his audience, to amuse it, to make it laugh.The mission of the playwright, then, is to look into his heart and write, to write of whatever concerns him at the moment, to write with passion and conviction. Of course, the measure of the man will be the measure of his plays. A man cannot express more than is in him, though often, to his regret, he expresses less because of almost the inevitable failure to realize his vision fully.Of course, the writer whose heart beats in a too special way, whose interests and concerns are esoteric, will probably not be a good playwright because---to get back to the cliches, as we must---a writer does reflect nature, does interpret his generation to itself; and if he and his concerns are far removed from his generation, an audience will find no recognition in his work and therefore no pleasure, no enlightenment.13. If a playwright neither reflects nature nor interprets his generation to itself, he_________A. may not be understood by his audience.B. will become successful.C. will not write of whatever concerns him.D. cannot define his "mission".14. A playwright _________A. usually expresses more than what is inhim.B. usually realizes his vision fullyC. can always express more than what isin him.D. often expresses less than what is inhim.15. "To hold the mirror up to nature" "to interpret a generation to itself," these are_________A. examples of cliches used byplaywrights.B. what playwrights conceive to be theirmission.C. the only real missions of the playwright.D. both A and B.Notes:extol --- to praise very highlyesoteric --- limitedⅦ.

We have left out its title, which indicates clearly its purpose, in the hope that the reader will reconstruct it after reading the text.Sunnyside is one of the few surviving and best-documented examples of American romanticism in architecture and landscape design. Andrew Jackson Downing featured Sunnyside in his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1841) as an example of the "progressive improvement in Rural Architecture..." which, he explained, strives to be in "perfect keeping" with "surrounding nature" by its "varied" and "picturesque" outline. 'Architectural beauty," he taught, "must be considered conjointly with the beauty of the landscape,"Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called "the little Mediterranean", and a stone flume delights the ear with the sound of rushing water. A path leads up a small rise and from there down into "the glen," and up to the house. Behind the house, another path winds along the Hudson for views of the river at its widest point, the Tappan Zee.The modest stone cottage which was later to become Sunnysidewas originally a tenant farmer's house built in the late-seventeenthcentury on the Philipsburg Manor. During the eighteenth century, thecottage was owned by a branch of the Van Tassel family, the nameIrving later immortalized in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".Irving purchased the cottage in 1835 and directed the remodeling,adding Dutch-stepped gables, ancient weathervanes, and developingGothic and Romanesque architectural features for other parts of thehouse. He was so pleased with his home that in 1836 he wrote to hisbrother, Peter: "I am living most cozily and delightfully in this dear,bright little home, which I have fitted up to my own humor. Everythinggoes on cheerily in my little household and I would not exchange thecottage for any chateau in Christendom."Today's visitor to Sunnyside sees Irving's home much as itappeared during the final years of his life. The author's booklined studycontains his writing desk—a gift from his publisher, G.P. Putnam andmany personal possessions. The dining room, in which Irving and hisdinner guests often gathered to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over theHudson River, adjoins the parlor. Here Irving played his flute, while hisnieces, Sarah and Catherine, accompanied him on the rosewood piano.The piano and other original furnishings still grace the room. The smallpicture gallery off the parlor contains some original illustrations forIrving's work. The kitchen was quite advanced for its day, having a hotwater boiler and running water fed from the pond through agravity-blow system. The iron cookstove was also a "modernconvenience," replacing the open hearth in the 1850's.The second floor of the house contains several bedrooms, each ofwhich has its own personal character. The guest bedroom is furnishedwith a French-style bed and painted cottage pieces. The ingeniousarches in this and other rooms were designed by Irving. His bedroom,where he died in 1859, contains the author's tester Sheraton bed, alongwith his walking stick and a number of his garments and personaleffects. The small, bright room between the bedrooms might have beenused by Irving's nephew and biographer, Pierre Munro Irving, whocared for his uncle during the last months of his life. The room wasused originally to store books and papers.

Eachpassage 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 write the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do yourealize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a secondlonger, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every socialsituation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gazewithout being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator,what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, considerwhat you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quickglance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat.Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction,you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. Soyou cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls“a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at theindicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Shouldyou break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator? You willmake the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely tofeel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are youtelling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation.For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner.They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, thendrop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again.▆▆■■■■■■■■■■■■。

《高级英语阅读二试卷》 B 卷（请把答案写在答题纸上）I Read Lesson 10 ，Text A “The US was Right”， translate the following sentences into Chinese. (阅读教材《高级英语阅读教程（下册）》第10课课文A，翻译以下句子)Could we not have warned the Japanese in advance, critics asked, and dropped a demonstration bomb? That alternative was vetoed on the grounds the bomb might not work, or that the plane carrying it might be shot down. Moreover, it is questionable how effectivea demonstration bomb might have been.II Read lesson 8 Text A The Girl in the Fifth Row ,answer the following questions:TEXT A The Girl in the Fifth RowOn my first day as an assistant professor of education at the University of Southern California, I entered the classroom with a great deal of anxiety. My large class responded to my awkward smile and brief greeting with silence. For a few moments I fussed with my notes. Then I started my lecture, stammering; no one seemed to be listening.At that moment of panic I noticed in the fifth row a poised, attentive young woman in a summer dress. Her skin was tanned, her brown eyes were clear and alert, her hair was golden. Her animated expression and warm smile were an invitation for me to go on. When I'd say something, she would nod, or say, "Oh, yes!" and write it down. She emanated the comforting feeling that she cared about what I was trying so haltingly to say.I began to speak directly to her and my confidence and enthusiasm returned. After a while I risked looking about. The other students had begun listening and taking notes, This stunning young woman had pulled me through.After class, I scanned the roll to find her name: Liani. Her papers, which I read over the subsequent weeks, were written with creativity, sensitivity and a delicate sense of humor.I had asked all my students to visit my office during the semester, and I awaited Liani's visit with special interest.s. I wanted to tell her how she had saved my first day, and encourage her to develop her qualities of caring and awareness.Liani never came. About five weeks into the semester, She missed two weeks of classes. I asked the students seated around her if they knew why. I was shocked to learn that they did not even know her name. I thought of Albert Schweitzer's poignant statement: "We are all so much together and yet we are all dying of loneliness."I went to our dean of women. The moment I mentioned Liani's name, she winced. "Oh, I'm sorry, Leo," she said. "I thought you'd been told..."Liani had driven to Pacific Palisades, a lovely community near downtown Los Angeles where cliffs fall abruptly into the sea. There, shocked picnickers later reported, she jumped to her death.Liani was 22 years old! And her God-given uniqueness was gone forever.I called Liani's parents. From the tenderness with which Liani's mother spoke of her, I knew that she had been loved. But it was obvious to me that Liani had not felt loved."What are we doing?" I asked a colleague. "We're so busy teaching things. What's the value of teaching Liani to read, write, do arithmetic, if we taught her nothing of what she truly needed to know: how to live in Joy, how to have a sense of personal worth and dignity?"I decided to do something to help others who needed to feel loved. I would teach a course on love.I spent months in library research but found little help. Almost all the books on love dealt with sex or romantic love. There was virtually nothing on love in general.But perhaps if I offered myself only as a facilitator, the students and I could teach one another and learn together. I called the course Love Class.It took only one announcement to fill this non-credit course. I gave each student a reading list, but there were no assigned texts, no attendance requirements, no exams. We just shared our reading, our ideas, our experiences.My premise is that love is learned. Our "teachers" are the loving people we encounter. If we find no models of love, then we grow up love-starved and unloving. The happypossibility, I told my student, is that love can be learned at any moment of our lives if we are willing to put in the time, the energy and the practice.Few missed even one session of Love class. I had to crowd the students closer together as they brought mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, husbands, wives,—even grandparents. Scheduled to start at 7 p.m. and end at 10, the class often continued until well past midnight.One of the first things I tried to get across was the importance of touching. "How many of you have hugged someone—other than a girlfriend, boyfriend or your spouse—within the past week?" Few hands went up. One student said, "I'm always afraid that my motives will be misinterpreted." From the nervous laughter, I could tell that many shared the young woman's feeling."Love has a need to be expressed physically," I responded."I feel fortunate to have grown up in a passionate, hugging Italian family. I associate hugging with a more universal kind of love."But if you are afraid of being misunderstood, verbalize your feelings to the person you're hugging. And for people who are really uncomfortable about being embraced, a warm, two-handed handshake will satisfy the need to be touched."We began to hug one another after each class. Eventually hugging became a common greeting among class members on campus.We never left Love Class without a plan to share love.For Love Class assignment we agreed to share something of ourselves, without expectation of reward. Some students helped disabled children. Others assisted derelicts on Skid Row. Many volunteered to work on suicide hot lines, hoping to find the Lianis before it was too late.I went with one of my students, Joel, to a nursing home not far from U.S.C. A number of aged people were lying in beds in old cotton gowns, staring at the ceiling. Joel looked around and then asked, "What'll I do?" I said, "You see that woman over there? Go say hello,"He went over and said, "Uh, hello."She looked at him suspiciously for a minute. "Are you a relative?""No.""Good! Sit down, young man."Oh, the things she told him! This woman knew so much about love, pain, suffering. Even about approaching death, with which she had to make some kind of peace. But no one had cared about listening—until Joel. He started visiting her once a week. Soon, that day began to be known as "Joel's Day." He would come and all the old people would gather.Then the elderly woman asked her daughter to bring her in a glamorous dressing gown. When Joel came for his visit, he found her sitting up in bed in a beautiful satin gown, her hair done up stylishly. She hadn't had her hair fixed in ages: why have your hair done if nobody really sees you? Before long, others in the ward were dressing up for Joel.The years since I began Love Class have been the most exciting of my life. While attempting to open doors to love for others, I found that the doors were opening for me.I ate in a greasy spoon in Arizona not long ago. When I ordered pork chops, somebody said, "You're crazy, Nobody eats pork chops in a place like this." But the chops were magnificent."I'd like to meet the chef," I said to the waitress.We walked back to the kitchen and there he was, a big, sweaty man. "What's the matter?" he demanded."Nothing. Those pork chops were just fantastic."He looked at me as though I was out of my mind. Obviously it was hard for him to receive a compliment. Then he said warmly, "Would you like another?"Isn't that beautiful? Had I not learned how to be loving, I would have thought nice things about the chef's pork chops, but probably wouldn't have told him—just as I had failed to tell Liani how much she had helped me that first day in class. That's one of the things love is: sharing joy with people.Another secret of love is knowing that you are yourself special, that in all the world there is only one of you. If I had a magic wand and a single wish, I would wave the wand over everybody and have each individual say, and believe, "I like me, right this minute. Just as I am, and what I can become. I'm great."The pursuit of love has made a wonder of my life. But what would my existence have been like had I never known Liani? Would I still be stammering out subject matter at students, year after year, with little concern about the vulnerable human beings behind the masks? Who can tell? Liani presented me with the challenge, and I took it up! It has made all the difference.I wish Liani were here today. I would hold her in my arms and say, "Many people have helped me learn about love, but you gave me the impetus. Thank you. I loveyou." But I believe my love for Liani has, in some mysterious way already reached her.Questions:1.Why did the girl in the fifth row impress the writer so deeply?2. The writer ‘s purpose for opening Love Course is to help peopl e learnto be loving, in his class he suggests some ways s in which people can learn to love , what are some of them? Which way do you think is most helpful ?III Read lesson 4 Text B , Do True or False Questions（阅读教材第4课课文B ，判断对错）:Washington Irving’s Sunnyside in Tarrytown, New York Accompanying a plan of Sunnyside (unprinted here), a former residence of Washington Irving in New York, is the following text. We have left out its title, which indicates clearly its purpose, in the hope that the reader will reconstruct it after reading the text.Sunnyside is one of the few surviving and best-documented examples of American romanticism in architecture and landscape design. Andrew Jackson Downing featured Sunnyside in his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1841) as an example of the "progressive improvement in Rural Architecture..." which, he explained, strives to be in "perfect keeping" with "surrounding nature" by its "varied" and "picturesque" outline. 'Architectural beauty," he taught, "must be considered conjointly with the beauty of the landscape,"Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called "the little Mediterranean", and a stone flume delights the ear with the sound of rushing water. A path leads up a small rise and from there down into "the glen," and up to the house. Behind the house, another path winds along the Hudson for views of the river at its widest point, the Tappan Zee.The modest stone cottage which was later to become Sunnyside was originally a tenant farmer's house built in the late-seventeenth century on the Philipsburg Manor. During the eighteenth century, the cottage was owned by a branch of the Van Tassel family, the name Irving later immortalized in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".Irving purchased the cottage in 1835 and directed the remodeling, adding Dutch-stepped gables, ancient weathervanes, and developing Gothic and Romanesque architectural features for other parts of the house. He was so pleased with his home that in 1836 he wrote to his brother, Peter: "I am living most cozily and delightfully in this dear, bright little home, which I have fitted up to my own humor. Everything goes on cheerily in my little household and I would not exchange the cottage for any chateau in Christendom."Today's visitor to Sunnyside sees Irving's home much as it appeared during the final years of his life. The author's booklined study contains his writing desk—a gift from his publisher, G.P. Putnam and many personal possessions. The dining room, inwhich Irving and his dinner guests often gathered to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the Hudson River, adjoins the parlor. Here Irving played his flute, while his nieces, Sarah and Catherine, accompanied him on the rosewood piano. The piano and other original furnishings still grace the room. The small picture gallery off the parlor contains some original illustrations for Irving's work. The kitchen was quite advanced for its day, having a hot water boiler and running water fed from the pond through a gravity-blow system. The iron cookstove was also a "modern convenience," replacing the open hearth in the 1850's.The second floor of the house contains several bedrooms, each of which has its own personal character. The guest bedroom is furnished with a French-style bed and painted cottage pieces. The ingenious arches in this and other rooms were designed by Irving. His bedroom, where he died in 1859, contains the author's tester Sheraton bed, along with his walking stick and a number of his garments and personal effects. The small, bright room between the bedrooms might have been used by Irving's nephew and biographer, Pierre Munro Irving, who cared for his uncle during the last months of his life. The room was used originally to store books and papers. The bedroom used by Irving's nieces contains an Irving-family field bed with hand-made bobbin lace hangings, a chest of drawers, sewing stands, and an ornamental stove. The guest room contains a cast iron bed probably made in one of the foundries along the Hudson.Write True (T) or False (F)for the following questions.1.Sunnyside is the former residence of Washington Irving in Washington D.C2..Sunnyside is a typical representative of Romanticism of American city architecture.3.According to Andrew Jackson Downing, architectural beauty must be in harmony with the beauty of the surrounding landscape.4.During the 18th century, the cottage was owned by Van Tassel who was mentioned by Irving in his book “the Legend of the Hollow”.5.Irving di dn’t make any change to the cottage after he purchased it.6.Today’s Sunnyside has changed a lot compared with its appearance in Irving’s time.7.Sunnyside was built near the Hudson River.8.The study, the dining room, the parlor and the kitchen are all on the first floor of Irving’s house..9.All the bedrooms on the second floor are almost furnished in the same style.10.Washington Irving was cared for by his daughter during the last period of his life.高级英语阅读（二）答题纸I，Translation批评人士问道: 我们难道就不能事先警告日本人，投下一枚示威炸弹吗？这一替代方案被否决，理由是炸弹可能无法工作，或者携带炸弹的飞机可能被击落。

I wanted to tell her how she had saved my first day, and encourage her to develop her qualities of caring and awareness.Liani never came. About five weeks into the semester, She missed two weeks of classes. I asked the students seated around her if they knew why. I was shocked tolearn that they did not even know her name. I thought of Albert Schweitzer's poignant statement: "We are all so much together and yet we are all dying of loneliness."I went to our dean of women. The moment I mentioned Liani's name, she winced. "Oh, I'm sorry, Leo," she said. "I thought you'd been told..."Liani had driven to Pacific Palisades, a lovely community near downtown Los Angeles where cliffs fall abruptly into the sea. There, shocked picnickers later reported, she jumped to her death.Liani was 22 years old! And her God-given uniqueness was gone forever.I called Liani's parents. From the tenderness with which Liani's mother spoke of her, I knew that she had been loved. But it was obvious to me that Liani had not felt loved."What are we doing?" I asked a colleague. "We're so busy teaching things. What's the value of teaching Liani to read, write, do arithmetic, if we taught her nothing of what she truly needed to know: how to live in Joy, how to have a sense of personal worth and dignity?"I decided to do something to help others who needed to feel loved. I would teach a course on love.I spent months in library research but found little help. Almost all the books on love dealt with sex or romantic love. There was virtually nothing on love in general.But perhaps if I offered myself only as a facilitator, the students and I could teach one another and learn together. I called the course Love Class.It took only one announcement to fill this non-credit course. I gave each student a reading list, but there were no assigned texts, no attendance requirements, no exams. We just shared our reading, our ideas, our experiences.My premise is that love is learned. Our "teachers" are the loving people we encounter. If we find no models of love, then we grow up love-starved and unloving. The happy possibility, I told my student, is that love can be learned at any moment of our lives if we are willing to put in the time, the energy and the practice.Few missed even one session of Love class. I had to crowd the students closer together as they brought mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, husbands, wives,—even grandparents. Scheduled to start at 7 p.m. and end at 10, the class often continued until well past midnight.One of the first things I tried to get across was the importance of touching. "How many of you have hugged someone—other than a girlfriend, boyfriend or your spouse—within the past week?" Few hands went up. One student said, "I'm always afraid that my motives will be misinterpreted." From the nervous laughter, I could tell that many shared the young woman's feeling."Love has a need to be expressed physically," I responded."I feel fortunate to have grown up in a passionate, hugging Italian family. I associate hugging with a more universal kind of love."But if you are afraid of being misunderstood, verbalize your feelings to the person you're hugging. And for people who are really uncomfortable about being embraced, a warm, two-handed handshake will satisfy the need to be touched."We began to hug one another after each class. Eventually hugging became a common greeting among class members on campus.We never left Love Class without a plan to share love.For Love Class assignment we agreed to share something of ourselves, without expectation of reward. Some students helped disabled children. Others assisted derelicts on Skid Row. Many volunteered to work on suicide hot lines, hoping to find the Lianis before it was too late.I went with one of my students, Joel, to a nursing home not far from A number of aged people were lying in beds in old cotton gowns, staring at the ceiling. Joel looked around and then asked, "What'll I do?" I said, "You see that woman over there? Go say hello,"He went over and said, "Uh, hello."She looked at him suspiciously for a minute. "Are you a relative?""No.""Good! Sit down, young man."Oh, the things she told him! This woman knew so much about love, pain, suffering. Even about approaching death, with which she had to make some kind of peace. But no one had cared about listening—until Joel. He started visiting her once a week.Soon, that day began to be known as "Joel's Day." He would come and all the old people would gather.Then the elderly woman asked her daughter to bring her in a glamorous dressing gown. When Joel came for his visit, he found her sitting up in bed in a beautiful satin gown, her hair done up stylishly. She hadn't had her hair fixed in ages: why have your hair done if nobody really sees you? Before long, others in the ward were dressing up for Joel.The years since I began Love Class have been the most exciting of my life. While attempting to open doors to love for others, I found that the doors were opening for me.I ate in a greasy spoon in Arizona not long ago. When I ordered pork chops, somebody said, "You're crazy, Nobody eats pork chops in a place like this." But the chops were magnificent."I'd like to meet the chef," I said to the waitress.We walked back to the kitchen and there he was, a big, sweaty man. "What's the matter?" he demanded."Nothing. Those pork chops were just fantastic."He looked at me as though I was out of my mind. Obviously it was hard for him to receive a compliment. Then he said warmly, "Would you like another?"Isn't that beautiful? Had I not learned how to be loving, I would have thought nice things about the chef's pork chops, but probably wouldn't have told him—just as I had failed to tell Liani how much she had helped me that first day in class. That's one of the things love is: sharing joy with people.Another secret of love is knowing that you are yourself special, that in all the world there is only one of you. If I had a magic wand and a single wish, I would wave the wand over everybody and have each individual say, and believe, "I like me, right this minute. Just as I am, and what I can become. I'm great."The pursuit of love has made a wonder of my life. But what would my existence have been like had I never known Liani? Would I still be stammering out subject matter at students, year after year, with little concern about the vulnerable human beings behind the masks? Who can tell? Liani presented me with the challenge, and I took it up! It has made all the difference.I wish Liani were here today. I would hold her in my arms and say, "Many people have helped me learn about love, but you gave me the impetus. Thank you. I love you." But I believe my love for Liani has, in some mysterious way already reached her.Questions:1.Why did the girl in the fifth row impress the writer so deeply?2.

We have left out its title, which indicates clearly its purpose, in the hope that the reader will reconstruct it after reading the text.Sunnyside is one of the few surviving and best-documented examples of American romanticism in architecture and landscape design. Andrew Jackson Downing featured Sunnyside in his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1841) as an example of the "progressive improvement in Rural Architecture..." which, he explained, strives to be in "perfect keeping" with "surrounding nature" by its "varied" and "picturesque" outline. 'Architectural beauty," he taught, "must be considered conjointly with the beauty of the landscape,"Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called "the little Mediterranean", and a stone flume delights the ear with the sound of rushing water. A path leads up a small rise and from there down into "the glen," and up to the house. Behind the house, another path winds along the Hudson for views of the river at its widest point, the Tappan Zee.The modest stone cottage which was later to become Sunnyside was originally a tenant farmer's house built in the late-seventeenth century on the Philipsburg Manor. During the eighteenth century, the cottage was owned by a branch of the Van Tassel family, the name Irving later immortalized in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".Irving purchased the cottage in 1835 and directed the remodeling, adding Dutch-stepped gables, ancient weathervanes, and developing Gothic and Romanesque architectural features for other parts of the house. He was so pleased with his home that in 1836 he wrote to his brother, Peter: "I am living most cozily and delightfully in this dear, bright little home, which I have fitted up to my own humor. Everything goes on cheerily in my little household and I would not exchange the cottage for any chateau in Christendom."Today's visitor to Sunnyside sees Irving's home much as it appeared during the final years of his life. The author's booklined study contains his writing desk—a gift from his publisher, G.P. Putnam and many personal possessions. The dining room, in which Irving and his dinner guests often gathered to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the Hudson River, adjoins the parlor. Here Irving played his flute, while his nieces, Sarah and Catherine, accompanied him on the rosewood piano. The piano and other original furnishings still grace the room. The small picture gallery off the parlor contains some original illustrations for Irving's work. The kitchen was quite advanced for its day, having a hot water boiler and running water fed from the pond through a gravity-blow system. The iron cookstove was also a "modern convenience," replacing the open hearth in the 1850's.The second floor of the house contains several bedrooms, each of which has itsown personal character. The guest bedroom is furnished with a French-style bed and painted cottage pieces. The ingenious arches in this and other rooms were designed by Irving. His bedroom, where he died in 1859, contains the author's tester Sheraton bed, along with his walking stick and a number of his garments and personal effects. The small, bright room between the bedrooms might have been used by Irving's nephew and biographer, Pierre Munro Irving, who cared for his uncle during the last months of his life. The room was used originally to store books and papers. The bedroom used by Irving's nieces contains an Irving-family field bed with hand-made bobbin lace hangings, a chest of drawers, sewing stands, and an ornamental stove. The guest room contains a cast iron bed probably made in one of the foundries along the Hudson.Write True (T) or False (F)for the following questions.1.Sunnyside is the former residence of Washington Irving in Washington D.C2..Sunnyside is a typical representative of Romanticism of American city architecture.3.According to Andrew Jackson Downing, architectural beauty must be in harmony with the beauty of the surrounding landscape.4.During the 18th century, the cottage was owned by Van Tassel who was mentioned by Irving in his book “the Legend of the Hollow”.5.Irving didn’t make any change to the cottage after he purchased it.6.Today’s Sunnyside has changed a lot compared with its appearance in Irving’s time.7.Sunnyside was built near the Hudson River.8.The study, the dining room, the parlor and the kitchen are all on the first floor of Irving’s house..9.All the bedrooms on the second floor are almost furnished in the same style.10.Washington Irving was cared for by his daughter during the last period of his life.高级英语阅读（二）答题纸I，Translation批评人士问道: 我们难道就不能事先警告日本人，投下一枚示威炸弹吗？这一替代方案被否决，理由是炸弹可能无法工作，或者携带炸弹的飞机可能被击落。
