I. BII. TTTFFIV.1.Being unsuccessful in one’s life and career and financiallydisadvantaged is regarded as shameful or even sinful because in this world people tend to think that only those who are successful now can be saved from evil in the future.2.It is important to see the fact that although they differ in their classstatus and educational background, human beings are essentially the same. First of all they are, biologically speaking, constructed in the same way, and then they all share the feelings of fear and joy, and also the common experience of suffering and achieving. This commonality has bound them together. All of them will regard wars, diseases, and disasters both private and public as unfortunate big events in their life time.V ocabularyI.1.inner nature; indispensable quality; the most important part2.sins leading to damnation3.making you think or act wrongly4.tasks traditionally required of students5.far from enoughV. 1. synonym: balanced, compensated2. antonym: unconventional3. antonym: abundant, plentiful4. synonym: evaluated, assessed5. synonym: average6. synonym: essentially, basically7. antonym: lightly, frivolously8. antonym: temporarilyVI.1.另见PPTTranslationI.1.不管我们的标准是什么，这个标准现在提高了，结果使你对自己没能得到更高的分数而感到失望。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。
美国国会中还有九位黑人议员，十位女性议员,而我是首位同时逾越双重障碍的议员。
在这两道障碍之中，身为黑人要比身为女人的障碍小很多。
2. 如果我说黑人面对的障碍要比女人更大，大概没有人会怀疑。
这是为什么？因为“众所周知”，美国对黑人有歧视。
若说对女性有歧视，这会令几乎所有男人——恐怕还有大多数女人——都觉得不可思议。
3. 很多年来，多数美国白人对歧视黑人的现象视而不见。
最后，当黑人们通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行等方式“挑起”这个问题时，美国白人觉得惊异万分。
“谁，是我们吗？”他们委屈地问道，“我们在歧视他们？”对美国白人来说，这个漫长痛苦的再教育过程刚刚开始。
很多年以后，白人——包括那些自以为是自由主义者的人——才会发现并消除他们实际存在的种族主义思想。
4. 而消除女性歧视的困难要大多少？我坚信这将是一场更为旷日持久的斗争, 部分原因是，与黑人相比，美国女性不仅被更彻底地洗脑，而且也更加安于她们次等公民的角色。
5. 请允许我解释一下。
我活跃政界二十余年。
除了最后六年，我一直在努力工作——干那些枯燥乏味但却能影响竞选胜负的杂活——可收获奖赏的却是男人，这几乎就是政界女性永远不变的命运。
6. 恰恰又是女性——大约有三百万女性志愿者——在美国政界做着大部分这类工作。
她们中任何人顶多指望能有幸当选区副主席或县副主席。
这种“区分但平等”的职位是一名女性多年任劳任怨地干着装信件、组织牌局之类的杂活之后所能获得的。
最高奖励。
担任此职务之后，她可以享受公费出差、参加州或全国性会议或代表大会的待遇，而她的既定角色就是按男会长的投票方式去投票。
7. 1963年，当我试图突破这种角色，代表布鲁克林的贝德福德·斯图维桑特参加纽约州众议院席位竞选时，遭到了强烈的反对。
竞选伊始，我便遇到了针对我的性别的毫无掩饰的敌意。

应用型大学英语第二册学习参考资料Unit 7StarterTapescriptAn exhibition examining Picasso's lifelong relationship with writers and the many ways in which language affected his work opened on Jan. 27 at the Yale University Art Gallery."Picasso and the Allure of Language" comprises some 70 works in all media by Picasso, as well as select examples by fellow artist Georges Braque, and photographs, letters, manuscripts and book projects by a group of artists and writers. Together, these works show Picasso's interest in writing and language. The exhibition will be on view through May 24.The exhibition is divided into four sections. The opening section, "Conversations", focuses on Picasso's early associations with writers and artists, from the early 1900s through the Cubist Project. The second section, "Fictions", looks at Picasso's affection for imagined characters. The third section, "Revisions", examines the artist's writing-over of previously existing works in his poems and drawings of the 1940s. The final section, "Illuminations", corresponds roughly to the years immediately after World War II until about 1950. During this period, Picasso took on a series of collaborations with writers and poets while also experimenting with many printed and applied media.A fully illustrated catalogue also accompanies the exhibition.The Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel St., is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (until 8 p.m. on Thursday), and Sunday, 1-6 p.m. It is closed Mondays and major holidays. Admission is free. For additional information, visit or call (203) 432-0600.Text AThe Art Collector1 Years ago, there was a very wealthy man who, with his devoted young son, shared a passion for art collecting. Together they travelled around the world, adding only the finest art treasures to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many others adorned the walls of their family estate. The widowed elder man looked on with satisfaction as his only childbecame an experienced art collector. The son's trained eye and sharp business mind caused his father to beam with pride as they dealt with art collectors around the world.2 As winter approached, war engulfed the nation, and the young man left to serve his country. After only a few short weeks, his father received a telegram. His beloved son was missing in action. The art collector anxiously awaited more news, fearing he would never see his son again. Within days, his fears were confirmed; the young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a medic.3 Distraught and lonely, the old man faced the upcoming Christmas holidays with anguish and sadness. The joy of the season, that he and his son had so looked forward to, would visit his house no longer.4 On Christmas morning, a knock on the door awakened the depressed old man. As he walked to the door, the masterpieces of art on the walls only reminded him that his son was not coming home. As he opened the door, he was greeted by a soldier with a large package in his hands. He introduced himself to the old man by saying, "I was a friend of your son. I was the one he was rescuing when he died. May I come in for a few moments? I have something to show you."5 As the two began to talk, the soldier told of how the old man's son had told everyone of his, not to mention his father's, love of fine art. "I am an artist," said the soldier, "and I want to give you this."6 As the old man unwrapped the package, the paper gave way to reveal a portrait of his son. Though the world would never consider it the work of a genius, the painting featured the young man's face in striking detail.7 Overcome with emotion, the old man thanked the soldier, promising to hang the picture above the fireplace. A few hours later, after the soldier had departed, the old man set about his task. True to his word, the painting went above the fireplace, pushing aside thousands of dollars worth of art. His task completed, the old man sat in his chair and spent Christmas gazing at the gift he had been given.8 During the days and weeks that followed, the old man realized that even though his son was no longer with him, the boy's life would live on because of those he had touched. He would soon learn that his son had rescued dozens of wounded soldiers before a bullet stilled his caring heart.9 As the stories of his son's gallantry continued to reach him, fatherly pride and satisfaction began to ease his grief. The painting of his son soon became his most prized possession, far eclipsing any interest in the pieces for which museums around the world clamored. He told his neighbors it was the greatest gift he had ever received.10 The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. The art world was in anticipation, that with the collector's passing, and his only son dead, those paintings would be sold at auction. According to the will of the old man, all of the art works would be auctioned on Christmas Day, the day he had received the greatest gift.11 The day soon arrived and art collectors from around the world gathered to bid on some of the world's most spectacular paintings. Dreams would be fulfilled this day; greatness would be achieved as many would hope to claim, "I have the greatest collection."12 The auction began with a painting that was not on any museum's list. It was the painting of the old man's son. The auctioneer asked for an opening bid, but the room was silent.13 "Who will open the bidding with $100?" he asked. Minutes passed, and no one spoke. From the back of the room came a voice, "Who cares about that painting? It's just a picture of his son." "Let's forget about it and move on to the good stuff," more voices echoed in agreement.14 "No, we have to sell this one first," replied the auctioneer. "Now, who will take the son?"15 Finally, a neighbor of the old man spoke. "Will you take ten dollars for the painting? That's allI have. I knew the boy, so I'd like to have it." "I have ten dollars. Will anyone go higher?" called the auctioneer. After more silence, the auctioneer said, "Going once, going twice, gone." The gavel fell.16 Cheers filled the room and someone exclaimed, "Now we can get on with it and we can bid on the real treasures!" The auctioneer looked at the audience and announced that the auction was over.17 Stunned disbelief quieted the room. Someone spoke up and asked, "What do you mean, it's over? We didn't come here for a picture of some old guy's son. What about all of these paintings? There are millions of dollars worth of art here! I demand that you explain what is going on!"18 The auctioneer replied, "It's very simple. According to the will of the father, whoever takes the son...gets it all."艺术品收藏家1 许多年前，有位富翁，他和爱子都非常热爱艺术品收藏。

Text AnalysisThe short story is a fable of love with a strong sarcastic tone. The protagonist, Alan Austen, wants to find an easy solution to the problem of love by purchasing a love potion. However，it’s not the love potion that the old man intends to sell primarily, but ―life cleaner‖.The theme of ―The Chaser‖ is the cynicism of experience, portrayed on a field of Alan’s y outhful naivety and the old man’s pessimistic certainty.The title of this short story is somehow a pun. ―A chaser‖ can be a person that pursues someone like in ―a woman chaser‖. In addition, it can refer to a weaker alcoholic drink taken after a strong one. A whisky, like the potion, intoxicates. A beer chaser, like the ―life cleaner‖, mollifies the harshness of the spirits. The potion and the poison go together like a strong alcoholic drink and a chaser..II. Structural AnalysisThis short story, which combines elements of horror and love, is built almost entirely through dialogue between a young man, Alan Austen, who is deeply in love and wants to possess his lover entirely, and an unnamed old man who believes in a life free ofromantic involvement.In ―The Chaser‖ John Collier uses:●the dramatic irony of the title to initialize a cynical landscape;●and the understatement of the ending to enclose the cynical world of the old man, a world whichAlan is entering.Paragraph 1: In this part, the protagonist, Alan Austen, has been introduced.Paragraphs 2-12: The old man is trying to sell his mixture.Paragraphs 13-45: Austen got to know about the love potion and in the end bought it.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1The ChaserJohn Collier1 Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark and creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street, and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors.2 He pushed open this door, as he had been told to do, and found himself in a tiny room, which contained no furniture but a plain kitchen table, a rocking-chair, and an ordinary chair. On one of the dirty buff-coloured walls were a couple of shelves, containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.3 An old man sat in the rocking-chair, reading a newspaper. Alan, without a word, handed him the card he had been given. ―Sit down, Mr. Austen,‖ said the old man very politely. ―I am glad to make your acquaintance.‖4 ―Is it true,‖ asked Alan, ―that you have a certain mixturethat has … er … quite extraordinary effects?‖5 ―My dear sir,‖replied the old man, ―my stock in trade is not very large —I d on’t deal in laxatives and teething mixtures —but such as it is, it is varied. I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordinary.‖6 ―Well, the fact is …‖ began Alan.7 ―Here, for example,‖interrupted the old man, reaching f ora bottle from the shelf. ―Here is a liquid as colourless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any known method of autopsy.‖8 ―Do you mean it is a poison?‖ cried Alan, very much horrified.9 ―Call it a glove-cleaner if you like,‖ said the old man indifferently. ―Maybe it will clean gloves.I have never tried. One might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.‖10 ―I want nothing of that sort,‖ said Alan.11 ―Probably it is just as well,‖said the old man. ―Do you know the price of this? For one teaspoonful, which is sufficient, I ask five thousand dollars. Never less. Not a penny less.‖12 ―I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive,‖ said Alan apprehensively.13 ―Oh dear, no,‖said the old man. ―It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion, for example. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion.‖14 ―I am glad to hear that,‖ said Alan.15 ―I look at it like this,‖ said the old man. ―Please a customer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another.Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary.‖16 ―So,‖ said Alan, ―you really do sell love potions?‖17 ―If I did not sell love potions,‖ said the old man, reaching for another bottle, ―I should not have mentioned the other matter to you. It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so confidential. ―18 ―And these potions,‖ said Alan. ―They are not just … just… er …‖19 ―Oh, no,‖ said the old man. ―Their effects are permanent, and extend far beyond the mere casual impulse. But they include it. Oh, yes they include it. Bountifully, insistently. Everlastingly.‖20 ―Dear me!‖ said Alan, attempting a look of scientific detachment. ―How very interesting!‖21 ―But consider the spiritual side,‖ said the old man.22 ―I do, indeed,‖ said Alan.23 ―For indifference,‖ said the old man, ―they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration. Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady —its flavour is imperceptible in orange juice, soup, or cocktails —and however gay and giddy she is, she will change altogether. She will want nothing but solitude and you.‖24 ―I can hardly believe it,‖ said Alan. ―She is so fond of parties.‖25 ―She will not like them any more,‖ said the old man. ―She will be afraid of the pretty girls you may meet.‖26 ―She will actually be jealous?‖ cried Alan in a rapture. ―Of me?‖27 ―Yes, she will want to be everything to you.‖28 ―She is, already. Only she doesn’t care about it.‖29 ―She will, when she has taken this. She will care intensely. You will be her sole interest in life.‖30 ―Wonderful!‖ cried Alan.31 ―She will want to know all you do,‖ said the old man. ―All that has happened to you during the day. Every word of it. She will want to know what you are thinking about, why you smile suddenly, why you are looking sad.‖32 ―That is love!‖ cried Alan.33 ―Yes,‖ said the old man. ―How carefully she will look after you! She will never allow you to be tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.‖34 ―I can hardly imagine Diana like that!‖ cried Alan, overwhelmed with joy.35 ―You will not have to use your imagination,‖ said the old man. ―And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end. She will be terribly hurt, of course, but she will forgive you —in the end.‖36 ―That will not happen,‖ said Alan fervently.37 ―Of course not,‖ said the old man. ―But, if it did, you need not worry. She would never divorce you. Oh, no! And, of course, she will never give you the least, the very least, grounds for —uneasiness.‖38 ―And how much,‖ said Alan, ―is this wonderful mixture?‖39 ―It is not as dear,‖ said the old man, ―as the glove-cleaner, or life-cleaner, as I sometimes call it. No. That is five thousand dollars, never a penny less. One has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing. One has to save up for it.‖40 ―But the love potion?‖ said Alan.41 ―Oh, that,‖said the old man, opening the drawer in the kitchen table, and taking out a tiny, rather dirty-lookingphial. ―That is just a dollar.‖42 ―I can’t tell you how grateful I am,‖ said Alan, watching him fill it.43 ―I like to oblige,‖ said the old man. ―Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and want more expensive things. Here you are. You will find it very effective.‖44 ―Thank you again,‖ said Alan. ―Good-bye.‖45 ―Au revoir,‖ said the man.II. Questions1. What is the image of Alan Austen in the first part? (Paragraph 1)Alan Austen is depicted as a timid, skeptical and hesitant character. Through descriptions like ―as nervous as a kitten,‖ ―peering about for a long time on the dim hallway‖, the writer creates a sense of apprehension.2. Why do you think the old man told Austen about the life-cleaner before selling the love potion? (Paragraph 7) The sophisticated old man had encountered many young men who had been in the grip of romantic desire before, but who eventually got tired of the possessive love they had experienced. He knew for sure tha t Austen’s possessive love wouldn’t last long. It would eventually bore and repel him. He expected that when his enthusiastic passion changed into hatred, Austen would come to him again, because he ha d already seen those disillusioned customers return to buy the ―chaser‖ so that they could be free from the women for whom they had previously bought the love potion.3. What is the implied meaning of the old man’s remark, ―Young people who need a love po tion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a lovepotion‖ (Paragraph 13)? What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl’s heart; if he were rich enough, it would be much easier for him to win th e girl’s hand. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.4. What is Austen’s understanding of love? (Paragraph s 23-32)Austen was filled with illusions and unrealistic expectations of love. To him, love meant the entire possession of the lover. When the old man talked about the magic effect of the love potion and described the expectant possessive love, Austen cried ―That is love!‖, which suggests that he was overwhe lmed with joy.5. What does the old man’s remark in Paragraph 39 ―… one has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing‖ mean?Young people tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude toward love.Class ActivityRole play●Work in pairs and role play the dialogue.●Make sure you’ve tried your best to learn the lines by heart.●You can al so ask a fellow student to supply a prompt.●Then discuss with each other how you understand the two roles in the story.III.

What's your impression of the English language?3. Can you give one or two examples to illustrate(说明)the messiness of the English language?4. Can you guess what the texts in this unit are going to be about?The following words in the recording may be new to you:eggplantn. 茄子pineapplen. 菠萝hamburgern. 汉堡牛肉饼，汉堡包Part IITextSome languages resist the introduction of new words. Others, like English, seem to welcome them. Robert MacNeil looks at the history of English and comes to the conclusion that its tolerance for change represents deeply rooted ideas of freedom.THE GLORIOUS MESSINESS OF ENGLISHRobert MacNeilThe story of our English language is typically one of massive stealing from other languages. That is why English today has an estimated vocabulary of over one million words, while other major languages have far fewer.French, for example, has only about 75,000 words, and that includes English expressions like snack bar and hit parade. The French, however, do not like borrowing foreign words because they think it corrupts their language. The government tries to ban words from English and declares that walkman is not desirable; so they invent a word, balladeur, which French kids are supposed to say instead — but they don't.Walkman is fascinating because it isn't even English. Strictly speaking, it was invented by the Japanese manufacturers who put two simple English words together to name their product. That doesn't bother us, but it does bother the French. Such is the glorious messiness of English. That happy tolerance, that willingness to accept words from anywhere, explains the richness of English and why it has become, to a very real extent, the first truly globallanguage.How did the language of a small island off the coast of Europe become the language of the planet —more widely spoken and written than any other has ever been? The history of English is present in the first words a child learns about identity (I, me, you); possession (mine, yours); the body (eye, nose, mouth); size (tall, short); and necessities (food, water). These words all come from Old English or Anglo-Saxon English, the core of our language. Usually short and direct, these are words we still use today for the things that really matter to us.Great speakers often use Old English to arouse our emotions. For example, during World War II, Winston Churchill made thisspeech, stirring the courage of his people against Hitler's armies positioned to cross the English Channel: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender."Virtually every one of those words came from Old English, except the last — surrender, which came from Norman French. Churchill could have said, "We shall never give in," but it is one of the lovely — and powerful — opportunities of English that a writer can mix, for effect, different words from different backgrounds. Yet there is something direct to the heart that speaks to us from the earliest words in our language.When Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 B.C., English did not exist. The Celts, who inhabited the land, spoke languages that survive today mainly as Welsh. Where those languages came from is still a mystery, but there is a theory.Two centuries ago an English judge in India noticed that several words in Sanskrit closely resembled some words in Greek and Latin. A systematic study revealed that many modern languages descended from a commonparent language, lost to us because nothing was written down.Identifying similar words, linguists have come up with what they call an Indo-European parent language, spoken until 3500 to 2000 B.C. These people had common words for snow, bee and wolf but no word for sea. So some scholars assume they lived somewhere in north-central Europe, where it was cold. Traveling east, some established the languages of India and Pakistan, and others drifted west toward the gentler climates of Europe, Some who made the earliest move westward became known as the Celts, whom Caesar's armies found in Britain.New words came with the Germanic tribes — the Angles, the Saxons, etc. —that slipped across the North Sea to settle in Britain in the 5th century. Together they formed what we call Anglo-Saxon society.The Anglo-Saxons passed on to us their farming vocabulary, including sheep, ox, earth, wood, field and work. They must have also enjoyed themselves because they gave us the word laughter.The next big influence on English was Christianity. It enriched the Anglo-Saxon vocabulary with some 400 to 500 words from Greek and Latin, including angel, disciple and martyr.Then into this relatively peaceful land came the Vikings from Scandinavia. They also brought to English many words that begin with sk, like sky and skirt. But Old Norse and English both survived, and so you can rear a child (English) or raise a child (Norse). Other such pairs survive: wish and want, craft and skill, hide and skin. Each such addition gave English more richness, more variety.Another flood of new vocabulary occurred in 1066, when the Normans conquered England. The country now had three languages: French for the nobles, Latin for the churches and English for the common people. With three languages competing, there were sometimes different terms for the same thing. For example, Anglo-Saxons had the word kingly, but after the Normans, royal and sovereign entered the language as alternatives. The extraordinary thing was that French did not replace English. Over three centuries English gradually swallowed French, and by the end of the 15th century what had developed was a modified, greatly enriched language — Middle English —with about 10,000 "borrowed" French words.Around 1476 William Caxton set up a printing press inEngland and started a communications revolution. Printing brought into English the wealth of new thinking that sprang from the European Renaissance. Translations of Greek and Roman classics were poured onto the printed page, and with them thousands of Latin words like capsule and habitual, and Greek words like catastrophe and thermometer. Today we still borrow from Latin and Greek to name new inventions, like video, television and cyberspace.As settlers landed in North America and established the United States, English found itself with two sources — American and British. Scholars in Britain worried that the language was out of control, and some wanted to set up an academy to decide which words were proper and which were not. Fortunately their idea has never been put into practice.That tolerance for change also represents deeply rooted ideas of freedom. Danish scholar Otto Jespersen wrote in 1905, "The English language would not have been what it is if the English had not been for centuries great respecters of the liberties of each individual and if everybody had not been free to strike out new paths for himself."I like that idea. Consider that the same cultural soil producing the English language also nourished the great principles of freedom and rights of man in the modern world. The first shoots sprang up in England, and they grew stronger in America. The English-speaking peoples have defeated all efforts to build fences around their language.Indeed, the English language is not the special preserve of grammarians, language police, teachers, writers or the intellectual elite. English is, and always has been, the tongue of the common man.全新版大学英语综合教程第二册第7单元课文详解篇2 Robert MacNeil罗伯特·麦克尼尔Winston Churchill温斯顿·丘吉尔(1874 — 1965，英国政治家、首相)Hitler希特勒(1889 — 1945，纳粹德国元首)Julius Caesar尤利乌斯·凯撒(100 — 44BC，古罗马将军、政治家)Britain英国India印度Pakistan巴基斯坦Viking(8 — 10世纪时劫掠欧洲西北海岸的)北欧海盗Scandinavia斯堪的纳维亚England英格兰William Caxton威廉·卡克斯顿(英国印刷商、翻译家)Otto Jespersen奥托·叶斯柏森(1860 — 1943)全新版大学英语综合教程第二册第7单元课文详解篇31.

Our usual solution is to kill off anything that gets in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased (带偏向的) in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Ourattempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in the fact that the bias is still there ―the dog cannot whistle for the man.But now comes news of a research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species.At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated (活跃的) conversations are being held with a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardner have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language.1. According to the writer, when man finds it impossible to live together with other species, he usually_____.A. tries to communicate with themB. tries to teach them a languageC. sets up a relationship with themD. wipes them out2. According to the writer, we communicate with animals in an attempt to_____.A. set up a relationship with them C. get along well with themB. make them do what we want D. teach them a language3. The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased becauseA. it can only be used to give orders_____.B. it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdogC. it is a one-way communication approachD. it can only be used between man and a dog4. Allen and Beatrice Gardner managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by _____.A. training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an entirely new methodB. creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to useC. using animal's vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understandD. learning the chimpanzee's language with a new approach5. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. in the future the chimpanzee can learn language like human beingsB. in the past researchers taught a chimpanzee words of our natural languageC. man and animals can get along well if they can communicate with each otherD. the chimpanzee can communicate well with us human beings(2)Rumor is the most primitive way of spreading stories －by passing them on from mouth to mouth. But civilized countries in normal times have newspapers. In times of stress and confusion, however, rumor emerges and becomes widespread. At such times the different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio against the rumor.Especially do rumors spread when war requires keepingsecret on many important matters. The usual news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people cannot learn through lawful channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up news whenever they can and when this happens, rumor develops.Rumors are often repeated even by those who do not believe the tales. There is a fascination about them. The reason is that the clearly designed rumor gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims -- the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly. Pessimistic rumors about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious. Optimistic rumors about record production or peace soon coming point to complacency ( 满足) or confidence －and often to overconfidence.6. Rumor usually appears and spreads_____.A. in primitive societiesB. in civilized countriesC. when people are worried and anxiousD. when people can't get enough information7. According to the passage, people who repeat a rumor as truth want to do so because_____.A. they are easily deceivedB. they are pessimistic or optimistic by natureC. it reflects their own unexpressed beliefD. they have a strong desire to impress other people8. The author states that during wartime, the regular sources of news present only_____.A. optimistic reports C. false informationB. pessimistic reports D. limited information9. The author suggests that, in time of stress, man frequently_____.A. goes back to primitive techniques C. become more closemouthedB. loses complete control of himself D. stops regular news services10. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the origin of rumor C. the reality of rumorB. the spread of rumor D. the medium of rumor(3)In s cience the meaning of the word …explain? suffers with civilization's every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientists than to Thales who first speculated (思索) on the electrification of amber (琥珀). Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces …really? are. …Electricity?, Bertrand Russell says, is not a thing, like St. Paul's Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell. ' Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that's where they belong, and smoke goes up because that's where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modem science wasborn when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.11. The aim of controlled scientific experiments is _____.A. to explain why things happen C. to describe self-evident principlesB. to explain how things happen D. to support Aristotelian science12. What theory most influenced Western scientific thought for a very long time?A. The speculations of Thales.B. The forces of electricity, magnetism, and gravity.C. Aristotle's natural science.D. Galileo's discoveries.13. Bertrand Russell's notion about electricity is _____.A. disapproved of by most modem scientistsB. in agreement with Aristotle's theory of self-evident principlesC. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward how things happenD. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward why things happen14. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea_____.A. that there are mysterious forces in the universeB. that man cannot discover what forces really areC. that there are self-evident principlesD. that we can discover why things behave as they do15. The goal of Aristotelian science was toA. explain how things happenB. deduce why objects fall to the groundC. explain why things take placeD. discover what these mysterious forces really are(4)Once it was considered good to keep the car engine idle a minute or two following cold starts Today, with modern technology, the opposite is true. An engine operating under road conditions will warm up faster and run more efficiently than the one that is idling. Idling just burns gas (on average, about a gallon an hour).When you have a full tank of gas, park the car facing downhill is possible; this will prevent any gas from coming out of the tank. Parking in areas of less or no sunlight helps prevent the gas from steaming that would occur if you parked in the hot sun. Your car will stay cooler, too, and that means less gas consuming work for the air conditioner once the engine is started.Stay away from wide-track tiers if you want top mileage. Narrow-track tires produce less friction and thus rolling resistance. The same effect is achieved by adding three to five pounds above recommended pressure to each tire, while this won?t noticeably affect your car?s sliding quality, it will increase tire fife and gas mileage.Check tire pressure often, especially when the weather turns cold. The difference between winter and summer tire pressure can be as much as eight pounds. This could cost you two miles per gallon.1. The main purpose of the passage is _____.A. to tell us how expert drivers try to save gasB. to tell us how to drive a car properlyC. to tell us how to make a car run smoothlyD. to tell us how to make your car consume less gas2. According to the passage, keeping the engine run idly _____.A: will just waste gas C. will make it work more efficientlyB. will warm it up more quickly D. is necessary in cold weather3. Parking your car in a cool place _____.A. will take it longer to warm up the engineB. means less gas consumption for the air conditionerC. prevent any gas from coming out of the tankD. helps start your ear more easily4. Wide-track tires _____.A. won't noticeably affect your car's sliding qualityB. can increase tire lifeC. will increase rolling resistanceD. helps attain top gas mileage5. Tire pressure changes _____.A. when wide-track tires are usedB. when narrow-track tires are usedC. in different weather conditionsD. in different road conditionsⅤ.Translation1.记住好心情、有规律锻炼和恰当饮食对身体有好处。

English is now an international language and is used as a means of communication between people from many countries. As a result the influences on the English language are wider than ever and it is possible that World English will move away from using a British or American standard and establish its own international identity.
Middle English
English from about 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It was influenced by French in governmental words, like “court”, “legal”, and “government” itself, and Latin in religious and educational words, like “minister”, “angel”, “school”, and “grammar”.
