Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses <病毒> harbored in the body, and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a toast warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you’re ing down with a cold, you’re already sick. A chill <寒冷> is an early symptom: it’s the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread through droplets <飞沫>propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most mon route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend es to visit. "Don’t kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friendthen wipes her own nose or eye — and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child’s discarded tissues and carefully throw them away but fail to wash their hands afterward.Cold virus also can be transferred to objects —telephones, towels, plate —and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand washing— on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household — will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.31. According to the first paragraph, you’re most likely to catch a cold if ________.A> you expose yourself to severe weatherB> you play outdoors long when it is snowingC>you stay in a very warm room with a lot of peopleD> you wait for a bus on a cold and windy day32. If you feel a chill, it means ________.A> you’ll catch a cold sooner or laterB> you’ve alreadye down with a coldC> there are viruses hidden in your bodyD> the room is not warm enoughfor your health33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A> It is generally believed thatcolds are caused by exposure to cold weather.B> Most colds are "caught" by hand contact.C> Cold virus will keep alive for several hours once it leaves human body.D> Cold virus can spread around only through the air.34. According to the author, the best way of avoiding catching a cold is ________.A> washingyour hands frequentlyB> never rubbing your nose or eyesC> throwing away tissues immediately after useD> shaking hands with your friends instead ofkissing them35. The best title for this passage might be ________.A> Colds and Viruses B> Colds and TemperatureC> Ways of AvoidingColds D> The Spread of VirusesQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:puter programmer David Jones earns $35,000 a year designing new puter games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases two new games for the expanding home puter market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money, Despite his salary, ear ned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments<红利> and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage <抵押>, or obtain credit cards.He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His puter has to pay $150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.David got his job with the Liverpool-based pany four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a puter shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said."I suppose $35,000 sounds a lot but actually that’s being pessimistic. I hope it will e to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother$20 a week. But most of his spare time is spent working."Unfortunately, puting was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."David added: "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."36.

The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball called a "bathyscaphe" to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.It was necessary to set out early, so that the bathyscaphe would e to the surface in daylight, and so he easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations at dawn and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.In time, the temperature dropped to freezing-point and the men shivered inside the ball. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone describing how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. At 30,000 feet, the men were startled by a loud, cracking noise; though, it was only one of the outer windowsthat had broken. Soon afterwards, the bathyscaphe touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small, dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the enormous water-pressure. But they did not dare leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the officers were heard on the mother ship. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.41. The officers started their journey at dawn _____.A> with the intention of returning to the mother ship in twenty-four hoursB> because the sea then was calmC> when the sun was not too strongD> so that they could return before dark42. What did the officers find out at the bottom of the sea?A>They only found dead sea creatures.B> They did find signs of life.C> There was no evidence of any life.D> There was only dust.43. The journey to the bottom of the sea helped us to realize that _____.A>much of the world hasn't yet been exploredB> there are not any signs of life at the bottom of the seaC> enormous water-pressure has great effect on fishD> powerful lights can not be turned on at the ocean floor without killing fish44. "They kept in touch with the mother ship" in Paragraph 3 means _____.A>they touched the mother shipB> they maintained contact with the mother shipC> they stayed with the mother shipD> they were connected t o the mother ship45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "They were cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience."?A> They were cold and wet through, which was the worst thing of all.B> They were even worse than cold and wet through at the bottom of the sea.C> Considering what they had just experienced, being cold and wet through was not too bad.D> For such an experience, being cold and wet through was not bad for them at all.III.Cloze <10%>A few months ago the __46__ cat gave birth to __47__.

I first heard this tale in India, where it is told as if true---though any naturalist would know itcouldn’t be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.67. No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way toprepare for the next time — no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right: There is only luck. The next time I might end up dead.68.

A program is simply a set of instructions which tells the computer what to do. There are many different types of computer programs. One of those most often used is called a word processing program. A word processing program can be used to do any kind of writing. Word processing programs are used by secretaries, reporters, writers, and even poets.

The author discusses all of the items listed except ________.A) word processing software B) accounting softwareC) educational software D) salary softwareQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Psychologists have found that only about two percent of adults use their creativity compared with ten percent of seven-year-old children. When five-year-olds were tested, the results soared to ninety percent! Curiosity and originality are daily occurrences for the small child but somehow most of us lose the freedom and flexibility of the child as we grow older. The need to “follow directions” and many social constraints we put on ourselves prevent us from using our creative potentials!It is never too late to tap our creative potentials. Some of us, however, find it difficult to think in imaginative and flexible ways because of our set patterns of approaching problems. When we are inflexible in our approach to situations, we close our minds to creative possibilities.Being creative doesn’t necessarily mean being a genius. It means looking at situations in a new way or putting something together in a new form that makes sense. Spontaneity(自发性) is one of the key elements of creativity.If you were to ask someone “what’s half of eight?”and received the answer “Zero”, you might laugh and say, “That’s wrong!” But the figure 8 can be visualized as two zeros, one on top of the other; it can also be seen as to 3s standing face to face.The ability to visualize our environment in new ways opens our perspective and allows us to make all kinds of discoveries. If each of us asked the question “Why?”more often and investigated “other”alternatives to problem solving, our lives would be more interesting and exciting.41. According to the essay, _______A)we tend to be more creative as we grow oldB)adults do not use their creativity so often as children doC)we don’t lose our creativity as we grow oldD)people are born with different creative potentials42. “Half of 8 is zero” is used as an example to show that ______.A)very often we are wrongB)there are different ways of looking at the same thingC)our mind is often closed to new ways of looking at thingsD)both B and C43. Being creative means being _______.A)able to approach problems in new waysB)able to solve problemsC)inclined to ask whyD) a genius44. Which of the following does NOT go with creativity?A) Curiosity. B) Spontaneity. C) Inflexibility. D) Imagination.45. We are less creative than we can be because _______.A) we often think it too late to tap our creative potentialsB) set patterns of doing things close our minds to new possibilitiesC) creativity is not encouraged by societyD) education kills creativityIII.Cloze (10%)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

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

大学英语精读第二册Unit2LessonsfromJefferson_共3页
大学英语精读第二册Unit2LessonsfromJefferson_共3页Jefferson died long ago, but many of his ideas are still of great interest.Unit2 Lessons from JeffersonThomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, may be less famous than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but most people remember at last one fact about him: he wrote the Declaration of Independence.Although Jefferson lived more than 200 years ago, there is much that we learn from him today. Many of his ideas are especially interesting to modern youth. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:1. Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books and that personal investigation is important. When still a young man, he was appointed to a committee to find out whether the South Branch of the James River was deep enough to be used by large boats. While the other members of the committee sat in the state capitol and studied papers on the subject, Jefferson got into a canoe and made on-the-spot- observations.2. You can learn from everyone. By birth and by education Jefferson belonged to the highest social class. Yet, in a day when few noble persons ever spoke to those of humble origins except to give an order, Jefferson went out of his way to talk with gardeners, servants, and waiters. Jefferson once said to the French nobleman, Lafayette, "You must go into the people's homes as I have done, look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied and understand the revolution that is threateningFrance."3. Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people's opinions without careful thought. "Neither believe nor reject anything," he wrote to his nephew, "because any other person has rejected or believed it. Heaven has given you a mind for judging truth and error. Use it."Jefferson felt that the people "may safely be trusted to hear everything true and false, and to form a correct judgment. Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."4. Do what you believe is right. In a free country there will always be conflicting ideas, and this is a source of strength. It is conflict and not unquestioning agreement that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy in letters to a friend, "There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent your actions."5. Trust the future; trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. "No society," he said, "can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs to the living generation." He did not fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. "How much pain," he remarked, "has been caused by evils which have never happened! I expect the best, not the worst. I steer my ship with hope, leaving fear behind."6. Jefferson's courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probably knew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, and medicine.He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before these became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout America, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform.7. Of all Jefferson's many talents, one is central. He was above all a good and tireless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered, and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…"8. When Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American independence, he left his countrymen a rich legacy of ideas and examples. American education owes a great debt to Thomas Jefferson, who believed that only a nation of educated people could remain free.大学英语精读第二册Unit 3 My First JobTrying to make some money before entering university, the author applies for a teaching job. But the interview goes from bad to worse... My First JobWhile I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a trainto Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter to feel nervous.The school was a red brick house with big windows, The front garden was a gravel square; four evergreen shrubs stood at each corner, where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main from a busy main road.It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat. He had a sandy-coloured moustache, a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair. He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone. 'Ah yes,' he grunted. 'You'd better come inside.' The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent. His study, judging by the crumbs on the carpet, was also his dining-room. 'You'd better sit down,' he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy's education. I mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.The school, he said, consisted of one class of twenty-four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen. I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself. Football and cricket were played in the Park, a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.The teaching set-up filled me with fear. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teachingalgebra and geometry-two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time. I said shyly, 'What would my salary be?' 'Twelve pounds a week plus lunch.' Before I could protest, he got to his feet. 'Now', he said, 'you'd better meet my wife. She's the one who really runs this school.'This was the last straw. I was very young: the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.。
