Unit 3: Why Do We Believe That the Earth Is Round (我们为什么相信地球是圆的？) Introductory Remarks“Why Do We Believe That the Earth Is Round” is one of a series of short essays Orwell wrote for British periodicals in the 1940’s. In it he first tries to refute both the Flat Earth theory and Oval Earth theory but says that his reasons for thinking that the earth is round are rather weak and precarious. Then from the discussion he draws his conclusion that ours is a credulous age because much of our knowledge does not rest on reasoning or on experiment, but on authority. Here Orwell expresses a healthy concern for the burden the ordinary newspaper-reading citizen carries. Overloaded with information and misinformation, the average man cannot adequately process and digest what he receives. He is apt to accept what he hears or reads as true without submitting it to factual verification or the test of reason. Man should respect the views of true experts, but he should test their theories, and compare different viewpoints in order to arrive at a truer perspective. Then, and only then, can man truly become an intelligent thinking species Prefaceprove (vt.) 证明, 证实prove + noun: He has proved his courage in battle.prove + adj.: The article has proved most useful.prove to be …: The play proved to be very good.prove + that clause:I will prove (to the world) that he was right. go ahead (vi.): Go ahead, please.go ahead with sth: Go ahead with your plan.rely on = depend onsense (C):理性(pl.) 感觉draw on吸收, 利用= take advantage of = make use of Lines 1 – 13some… or…other 某一…e.g.: somewhere or other 在某个地方; some day or other (未来)某一天; (in) some way or other (以)某种方法; He went to some place or other.他去了某个地方. preface (to):introduction (to) (文章或书的)序言; 引言Saint Joan“圣女贞德”Bernard Shaw肖伯纳(English dramatist)remark (v. & n.): say; commentgullible (adj.): credulous 易轻信的; 易受骗的gull (vt.): cheat; deceive e.g.: Gull (=deceive / cheat) a fool out of his money骗取傻子的钱gull (n.): a person who is easily deceived易受欺骗的人superstitious (adj.)迷信的superstition (U)the Middle Ages (欧洲)中世纪credulity (U)易轻信; 易受骗credulous (adj.)incredulity (U); incredulous (adj.) = unbelievablecite (vt.)引用, 引证e.g.: The lawyer cited a previous case to support his argument. average (=ordinary) man普通人advance: put forth; put or bring forward提出e.g.: Mary is too shy to advance her opinion at the meeting.not a single(强调否定) 一个也没有…can advanc e not a single reason提不出任何一个理由e.g.: There was n’t a single boat on the lake.merely = only not merely (=not only)… but alsoswallow (up): eat up without biting; believe or absorb without thinking or reasoninge.g.: I trusted her so much that I could have swallowed any story she told me.appeal to:be attractive or interesting to迎合, 引起…的兴趣e.g.: Korea films always appeal to young people.a)appeal to the court (向法院起诉)b)appeal to history (引证历史)c)appeal to the public (向大众呼吁)d)appeal to force (求助于武力)mentality (U): way of thinking思维方式the twentieth-century mentality二十世纪的思维方式exaggerate (vi. & vt.): overstate夸张, 夸大其词e.g.:Be honest, and don’t exaggerate your sales achievement.…something in: some truth or value in有些对或道理e.g.: There is something/nothing/everything in your answer.

(完整word版)精读4复习要点
复习要点一、翻译1.Next to her， crouched the statuette of a leopard， ready to spring down at the top drawer of a filing cabinet.2。
Nature had endowed the rest of the human race with a sixth sense and left me out. But like someone born deaf， but bitterly determined to find out about sound, I watched my teachers to find out about thought。
3.True, often there is a kind of innocence in prejudices， but in those days I viewed grade—three thinking with contempt and mockery。
4.Grade—two thinking is the detection of contradictions. Grade-two thinkers do not stampede easily，though often they fall into the other fault and lag behind. Grade-two thinking is a withdrawal, with eyes and ears open。
It destroys without having the power to create。
5.Now you are expecting me to describe how I saw the folly of my ways and came back to the warm nest, where prejudices are so often called loyalties, where pointless actions are hallowed into custom by repetition, where we are content to say we think when all we do is feel。

A 第二部分：阅读理解Passage 1 I was 15 when I walked into McCarley Bookstore and began to look over the titles of the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes. I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying. One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried andI?ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her. Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket. I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free.I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward. At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for the customers, not just for the store. Today it?s the same. NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience inMcCarley Bookstore helped me find a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself. 1. How did the author get the job in McCarley Bookstore? A.He happened to walk into the shop and got it by chance. B.He had always wanted to have a job in that bookstore and he succeeded. C.He liked reading books, so tried to get a job there. D. He did not go to school, so he looked for a job when he was 15. 2. According to the author, selling books was one of the most satisfying job experiences, because ____________. A.he only had to work after school and got good wages B.it helped him understand the world and himself C.it helped him pay for his freshman year of college D.he did not feel that he was working for the store 3. After he helped the fearful lady looking for books on cancer, the author was____________. A.worried about her B.less worried about her C. unable to forget her D. proud of himself 4.

C) Passage 2 Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100.Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal of the world?s paper - did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century. When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper isused for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses. 1. Where was paper invented?A. In China.B. In southern Europe.C. In Scandinavia.D. In Britain. 2. Scandinavia began to make paper ____________. A. in 1100 B. in 1400 C. in 1500 D. in the first century 3.

All over the world, trees are being cut down ____________ than they are being planted.A. more slowlyB. much fasterC. much more slowlyD. faster 5. The latest things made of paper are____________. A. chairs B. tables C. clothes D. houses (Key: 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D 5. D) Passage 3 Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there?s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You?ve got to want to write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. Only a few writers were kissed by fortune, however there are thousands more whose work is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no proposals at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York department building. I didn?t even care that it was coldand had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.After a year I still hadn?t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn?t going to be one of those people who did wondering “What if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 41. The passage is meant to. A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C. show young people it?s unrealistic for a writer to pursuewealth and fame D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career 42. What can be concluded from the passage?.A. Good writers often find their work interesting and rewardingB. Writer?s success depends on luck rather than on effortC. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chances for a writer to become successful are small 43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?. A. Because he wasn?t able to produce a single book B. Because he hadn?t seen a change for the better C. Because he wasn?t able to have a rest for a whole year D. Because he found his dream would never come true 44. The word “people” in the sentence “…people who did wondering…” in Paragraph 3 refers to those. A. who think a lot without making a decision B. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think too much of the positive side of lifeD. who are full of imagination even upon death 45. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to. A. the wonderful land one often dreams about B. the bright future that one is looking forward to C. the state of uncertainty before one?s final goal is reached D. a word that exists only in one?s imagination Key: 41. A Passage 4 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. C If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often itwas destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people then did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings. And these have been sung and acted and told for many generations for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ?remembered history?. Some of it has now been written down. It is notso exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.46. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?. A. Where there are no written records, there is no history B. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions D. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history 47. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because. A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record C. the written records were perhapsdestroyed by a fire D. the people there did not know how to write 48. “Remembered history” refers to. A. history based on a person?s imagination B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C. songs and dances about the most important events D. both B and C 49. “Remembered history” is considered valuable only when. A. it is written down B. no written account is available C. it proves to be true D. people are interested in it 50. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about human history than we do now if the ancient people had. A. made more songs and dances B. not burnt their written records in wars C. kept a written record of every past event D. told exact stories of the most important happenings Key: 46. A 47. D 48. D 49.
