Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passagel50,000 people work at Disney' largest theme park, Walt Disney World in Qrlando, Florida. Do all of them like the job?One Disney worker explains how cast members" are given jobs according to their age and appeara nee.For example: Young and pretty workers get jobs where they will in teract a lot with customers; Anyone who might seem less presentable”work on the night shift, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.Mike Cohen, a Disney worker and a trade union activist, says that most Disney workers don 'stay with the compa ny for very long. You can make $10 per hour if you are here for 10 years, but because so many people leave, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57per hour or less. ” Disney has not in creased its start ing wage for 5 years. Disney claims that it offers competitive ” salaries. But Cohen doesn 'agree. Disney is planning to expand and will n eed about 10,000 new workers-but about 75% of the new jobs will also be low paid.Cohe n is also un happy about the way people have to work at Disney World. 'We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I 'm supposed to han dle 2,000 visitors an hour. It 'just like a factory with assembly-li ne product ion, only this is a fun factory. " Cohe n says that the most importa nt thi ng for the compa ny is the nu mber of people who are processed through each side; if the nu mber is too small, the man ageme nt compla ins to the workers. But he says that you n ever hear the manageme nt ask, Are being safe eno ugh? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happe ns every day ), the workers must keep smili ng. Cohe n says: We are supposed to make eye con tact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don', you get reprimanded (训斥)."He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be. He is not surprised: if some one isn 'paid eno ugh, you don 'expect them to be happy.11.

Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer .This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand 's research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people whoare sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound;we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics _____ .A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. _____ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23. Psychic abilities _______ .A. are similar to other sensesB. work in the same way as other sensesC. are different from other sensesD. work together with other senses24. Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ______ .A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ______ .A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆)or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions (交易)the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real powerof decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation (赔偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was _______ .A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage wasA. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husba nd was give n con trol over his wife's property.Part III. Cloze (10% )Directions: Fill in each blank in the passage with the most likely answer.My gran dpare nts believed you were either hon est or you were n '. There was no state in 31 . They had a simple motto (格言)32 on their living-room wall: Life is like a fieldof n ewly falle n snow; 33 I choose to walk every step will 34 . ” They did n 'have totalk about it-they dem on strated the motto by the 35 they lived.They un derstood in st in ctively that in tegrity (正直)means hav ing a 36 sta ndard of morality and ethics (伦理标准)that is not relative 37 the situation at hand.

Uint10II. Basic Listening Practice1. ScriptW: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom.M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius.Q: Why don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man?2. ScriptW: The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work.M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptW: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacturer of personal computers, and he has realized that dream.M: And he dropped out of university to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that.Q: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?4. ScriptM: Successful entrepreneurs are often self-made people who have a vision and know where they are going.W: But do they enjoy life like you and me, or is money their only concern?Q: What are the two speakers’attitudes toward successful entrepreneurs?5. ScriptW: Do you agree that equal opportunity for all in an educational system is important? M: Yes, but we have to recognize that all of us are not of equal ability.Q: What does the man imply?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3. D 4.B 5.AIII. Listening InTask 1: Competition in AmericaScriptAlan: What are you reading, Eliza?Eliza: An article on American competition.Alan: Competition is everywhere and constant. Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza: Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially importantin American life. They’re taught to compete from early childhood. When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girl s sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza: Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies.Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab every opportunity to sharp en their competitive edge over others.Eliza: American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan: I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great. Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that normal throughout the world?Eliza: American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s competition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is more deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re even taught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, there’s no accounting for different cultures.1. What is the dialog mainly about?2. What is the woman doing?3. What do children learn from playing games according to the woman?4. What does the man say about students’studies?5. What does the woman say when asked which makes more sense, competition or cooperation?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.DTask 2: Americans’Work EthicScriptFor four hundred years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans triedto follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder”so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsivelly. The word “workaholic”describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Do you know what “Freeze!”means?ScriptThere is one word which you must learn before you visit the U.S.A. That is “Freeze!”It means, “Stand still and don’t move.”Police officers use it when they are ready to use their guns. If the person does not obey the command and moves, they shoot.One evening in Los Angeles, someone rang the bell doorbell of a house. It was a dangerous area at night, so the owner of the house took his gun with him when he answered the door. He opened the door and saw a person, who turned round and started walking away from the house. The owner cried “Freeze!”, but the man went on walking. The owner thought he tried to escape, so he shot him dead.Later, a sad story was uncovered. The dead man was Yoshiro Hattori, a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student. He went to visit a friend for a Halloween party, but he could not remember the number of the house. When he realized that he had gone to the wrong house, he turned round to leave. He did not know much English and so did not understand the command “Freeze!”.The tragedy arose from cultural misunderstanding. Those who have lived in the United States for a long time understand the possibility of being shot when one trespasses upon an individual’s property. It is a well-known fact in America that a person’s home is his castle. Although Rodney Pears, the owner of the house, gave a verbal warning “Freeze!”to Hattori, Hattori did not know it meant “Stand still and don’t move”, and therefore did not obey it. This misunderstanding became the trigger of Hattori’s disaster. The concept of owning guns is hard for Japanese people to understand, but in America you are permitted to own a gun under the U.S. Constitution.1.What does the word “Freeze!”mean in the passage?2.What did the owner of the house take with him when he answered the door?3. Why did the Japanese student turn around and leave?4. What is mentioned as a possible result of trespassing?5. Why is the phrase “a person’s home is his castle”quoted in the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.CIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Americans glorify individualism.Susan: John, I was looking for you. Where have you been hiding all morning?John: Well, I caught Professor Brown’s lecture on American individualism.Susan: Oh, how did you find it?John: Enlightening. Americans glorify individualism. They believe individual interests rank above everything else.Susan: Sounds intersting. It’s a sharp contrast to the oriental collectivism Professor Wang talked about last semester.John: But you should know that the individualism in the United States is not necesssarily an equivalent for selfishness.Susan: Then what does it mean in the States?John: They believe all values, rights, and duties originate in individuals, so they emphasize individual initiative and independence.Susan: There could be something in that. Of course in oriental countries the interests of the group are more important than anything else.John: I So, it’s all the more necessary for foreigners to understand American culture, or they can’t hope to understand the importance of privacy in the West..Susan: Maybe that’s the reason nuclear families outnumber extended families in the United States.John: Right on! You’re catching on fast!Susan: Now let me ask you a question.John: Shoot. Go ahead.Susan: Why do Americans cherish individualism more than oriental people?John: I don’t know. Anyway, Professor Brown didn’t say.Susan: One reason might be that American children stop sleeping with their parents at an early age. They learn independence early, so it’s deeply rooted.John: Wow, that’s an intelligent guess!MODEL2 What do you think are the reasons forthat difference?ScriptSusan: Do you find that people in America often walk faster than people in China? Americans always seem to be in a hurry.John: It’s hard to come to a definite conclusion. Some Americans walk in a leisurely way, and some Chinese hurry all the time. But on the whole, I think you’re right. Susan: What do you think are the reasons for that difference?John: Americans treasure time. For them, time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.”You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!Susan: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?John: Sure. If you’re 20 minutes late for a bussiness appointment, the other person or persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore.Susan: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late for a dinner party.John: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time.Susan: But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. She will probably receive a reprimand.John: How true!Susan: The American workship of time probably led them to create fast foods.John: I agree. And globalization shrinks the differences between cultures. Now people everywhere are rushing, and anywhere you go, you find Kentucky Fried Chicken. Susan: But plenty of Chinese are still making appointments saying, “If I am late, wait for me.”John: But with more intercultural communication, I think the gap will eventually be bridged, and Chinese will be hurrying everywhere.MODEL3 That’s the secret of their success.ScriptChris: Hey Sue, how’s the math class going? Are you head of the class?Susan: Are you kidding? There’s a bunch of foreign students in the class---from China somewhere---and they are on top.Chris: Why do you think so many Chinese students excel in math? It’s been my observation that the Chinese students are usually the best.Susan: In class they don’t say much, but they definitely get the best marks.Chris: I think part of it is their work ethic. They never skip class, and they pay attention. Susan: One Chinese student in my class did homework each night until the early hours. He never took a break, watched TV, or went out for a beer.Chris: That’s the secret of their success: hard work and deligence.Susan: It’s so unfair. I could probably do better if I worked harder, but that’s no fun. I think learning should be more fun.Chris: Someone with a knowledge of chess would find a chess tournament fascinating. But if you don’t have the knowledge, then you won’t understand the significance of the moves, and you’ll be bored.Susan: So what you’re saying is knowledge requires hard work, and knowledge makes things interesting. I am not against knowledge; I just want to learn it in an interesting way. What’s more, “All work and noplay makes Jack a dull boy.”Now Your TurnTask 1:SAMPLE DIALOGMaggie: Josh, you were late for work this morning.Josh: I was only about ten minutes late. Anyway, the boss didn’t say anything about it. Maggie: As a friend, I must give you a warning. You should understand that Americans treasure time.Josh: What do you mean?Maggie: You see, for them time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.”You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!Josh: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?Maggie: If you’re 20 minutes late for a business appointment, the other persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore. Today you were ten minutes late for work. That was bad enough.Josh: I was caught in a traffic jam. What could I have done?Maggie: You should have called the secretary to say you might be late. I learned the importance of punctuality when I studied at an American university.Josh: Tell me about it.Maggie: Some students were late handing in assignments and the professors gave them poor marks. One professor even refused to read a term paper that was turned in after the deadline.Josh: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late for a dinner party.Maggie: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time.Josh: But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. She will probably be reprimanded. Maggie: How true!。

(30%)Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available —but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people —often rather frightening-looking people — and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the helphe needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.16. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondaryschools is that ________.A) they are taught by many different teachersB) they do not attend lessons in every subjectC) the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD) the teachers give most attention to a few pupils17. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.A) know how to ask for helpB) go to ask any teacher he can findC) discuss his problem in classD) turn to his parents for help18. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concernedabout ________..A) academic standardsB) the role of specialist teachersC) the training of the individual teachersD) the personal development of pupils19.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.B) The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.C) Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils.D) Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.20. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ________.A) Primary School and Secondary SchoolB) Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC) Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD) Academic Work and Personal RelationshipText 2In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress — it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that they way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness!" If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many — like the death of a loved one — are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处⽅) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we're all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.21. The result of Holmes-Rahe's medical research tells us ________.A) what should be done to avoid stressB) rethink educational strategiesC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden changes in life22. The studies on stress in the early 1970's led to ________.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs23. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________.A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life-changing events24. Why is "such simplistic advice" (Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.25. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs maybecome ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themText 3Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers to transportation and communication.In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they traveled within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travelers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas. Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travelers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.26. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the reader that ________.A. people were not so free to move about as they are nowB. people have not been allowed to travel freely for various reasonsC. people have to carry special papers in order to travel within their countryD. customs posts make it possible for people to travel in other countries27. Which is NOT mentioned as the possible limits some countries put onforeign visitors?A. They have to get a visa before they enter the country.B. Only a limited number of visitors are allowed to enter the country everyyear.C. Not every part of the country is open to foreign tourists.D. They have to report to government officials when they come to a newplace.28. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because ________.A. they don’t want other countries know their secretsB. they often disagree with each other on important mattersC. they think such freedom may lead to warsD. they want to show their authority over communication29. We may learn from the passage that ________.A. people don’t care to remove barriers between countriesB. people have made no progress in improving transportation andcommunicationC. it’s even harder to overcome barriers made by man than natural onesD. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist30. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. Importance of CommunicationB. Progress of Human SocietyC. Barriers Made by ManD. Restrictions on TransportationText 4The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady(弊病), future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to — different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation —including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members —suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失⽅向), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching(把…淹没)upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.31. Culture shock occurs when ________.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to expressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices32. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ________.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes mass casualties (伤亡)D. it destroys the foundation of the society33. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that________.A. disorients an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture34. One of the good measures to prevent future shock is to ________.A. get people well-prepared for the future changesB. keep people well-informed of the cultures in different placesC. make people fight against the possible future changesD. acquaint people with the harm of the future changes35. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. ironic (讽刺的)D. seriousPart III. Vocabulary and Structure. (20%)Directions:Choose the best one to complete each sentence.36. His results are not very ________.

Unit1Section A课文翻译爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事1 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后,我和波莉有了第一次约会。

那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克,而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的,他一想到这个就受不了,于是他和我达成了一项协议,用他的女友换取我的夹克。

他可不那么聪明,而他的女友波莉也不太精明。

2 但她漂亮而且富有,也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。

她拥有合适的家庭背景,足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。

如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半,我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。

3 “光彩照人”,她已经是了。

而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”,让她变得“谈吐优雅”。

4 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后,我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。

我的想法有些怪异。

而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区,我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。

我们呆在车子里,我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。

“我们要谈些什么?”她问道。

5 “逻辑学。

”6 “好酷啊,”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。

7 “逻辑学的原理,”我说道,“即清晰思考的主要原则。

逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实,其中有些还很普遍。

我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。

”8 “好啊,”她表示同意。

9 “‘绝对判断’是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。

比方说:运动是有益的,所以每个人都应该运动。

”10 她点头表示赞同。

11 我看得出她没弄明白。

“波莉,” 我解释说,“这个推断太过简单化了。

如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的,运动就变得有害而不是有益。

所以你应该说,运动对大多数人来说是有益的。

”12 “接下来是‘草率结论’。

这似乎不言自明,对吧?仔细听好了:你不会说法语,罗伯也不会说法语,那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。

”13 “是吗?”波莉吃惊地说。

“没有人吗?”14 “这也是一种逻辑谬误,”我说,“这一结论太草率了,因为能够支持这一结论的例证太少了。

The increasing demands of work and the pressures of daily life have placed a considerable strain on individuals. It is crucial for individuals to find a balance between their professional and personal lives to ensure their overall well-being.To achieve work-life balance, it is important to establish clear boundaries. This includes setting realistic goals and priorities, as well as learning to say no when necessary. By effectively managing our time and obligations, we can avoid feeling overwhelmed and maintain a healthier balance.Another essential aspect of work-life balance is self-care. Taking care of our physical and mental health is essential for overall well-being. Engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as exercise, hobbies, and spending time with loved ones, can help alleviate stress and improve our quality of life.Furthermore, organizations also play a crucial role in promoting work-life balance. Companies can offer flexible working hours, provide wellness programs, and encourage open communication to support their employees’ well-being. Recognizing and rewarding employees for their hard work can also contribute to a positive work environment.In conclusion, achieving work-life balance requires individual effort as well as support from organizations. By prioritizing our well-being and making conscious choices, we can lead more fulfilling lives both professionally and personally.Unit 3Note: The answers for Unit 3 are not provided in this document.

Since the company was composed entirely of men over 65, there was doubt that they would be of any assistance.But the farmer called the company anyway because the fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, and there was no other help available.2. The truck drove straight toward the fire and, instead of stopping in front of the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames.3. After an hour of intense fighting, they had extinguished the fire.4.He presented the volunteer fire company with a check for $10,000.5.

(S10).Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.Part II. Reading Comprehension(40%)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage150,000 people work at Disney’s largest theme park, Walt Disney World in Qrlando, Florida. Do all of them like the job?One Disney worker explains how “cast members” are given jobs according to their age and appearance. For example: Young and pretty workers get jobs where they will interact a lot with customers; Anyone who might seem less “presentable” work on the night shift, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.Mike Cohen, a Disney worker and a trade union activist, says that most Disney workers don’t stay with the company for very long. “You can make $10 per hour if you are here for 10 years, but because so many people leave, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57per hour or less. ”Disney has not increased its starting wage for 5 years. Disney claims that it offers “competitive” salaries. But Cohen doesn’t agree. Disney is planning to expand and will need about 10,000 new workers-but about 75% of the new jobs will also be low paid.Cohen is also unhappy about the way people have to work at Disney World. “ We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I’m supposed to handle 2,000 visitors an hour. It’s just like a factory with assembly-line production, only this is a fun factory. ” Cohen says that the most important thing for the company is the number of people who are processed through each side; if the number is too small, the management complains to the workers. But he says that you never hear the management ask, “Are being safe enough? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happens every day ), the workers must keep smiling. Cohen says: “We are supposed to make eye contact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don’t, you get reprimanded (训斥).”He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be. He is not surprised: if someone isn’t paid enough, you don’t expect them to be happy.11. It can be inferred from the context that a “ cast member ” of Disney is it’s .A. security guardB. cookC. employeeD. shop assistant12. Disney World is the one of the American recreation resorts while many employees think .A.it’s so competitive working at Disney World.B.it’s so much fun working at Disney World.C.it’s no fun working at Disney World.D.it’s very dangerous working at Disney World.13. Which is Not mentioned as a disadvantage of the job at Disney World ?A. AccommodationB. SafetyC. PayD. Manner14. Which of the following is TRUE according to Mike Cohen ?A.He can’t understand why many Disney workers have giver up their jobs.B.Most Disney workers earn less than $10 for each hour.C.Disney workers are not encouraged to please those rude guests.D.Disney workers are supposed to give each customer a ride.15. The word “ presentable ” (Para. 2 ) probably means .A. good-lookingB. differentC. previousD. physicalPassage 2After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand”on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand’s research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.16.

More 24-hour hotline centers appear because ________.A. more and more customersdemand after-sales servicesB. there are more and more complaints from customersC. more companies come to realize the importance of after-sales services.D. they have become a new type of investment18.

Product testing and refinement are conducted for ________.A. new products onlyB. quality productsC. dangerous productsD. both new and existing products20. Which is NOT mentioned concerning product guarantee?A. A brand’s research &development. B. Product testing and refinement.C. Quality control.D.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people who are sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound; we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics ________.A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. ________ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23. Psychic abilities ________.A. are similar to other sensesB. work in the same way as other sensesC. are different from other sensesD. work together with other senses24. Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ________.A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ________.A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry(嫁妆)or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions(交易)the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation(赔偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was ________.A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was________.A. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husband was given control over his wife's property.Part III.

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passagel50,000 people work at Disney' largest theme park, Walt Disney World in Qrlando, Florida. Do all of them like the job?One Disney worker explains how cast members" are given jobs according to their age and appeara nee.For example: Young and pretty workers get jobs where they will in teract a lot with customers; Anyone who might seem less presentable”work on the night shift, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.Mike Cohen, a Disney worker and a trade union activist, says that most Disney workers don 'stay with the compa ny for very long. You can make $10 per hour if you are here for 10 years, but because so many people leave, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57per hour or less. ” Disney has not in creased its start ing wage for 5 years. Disney claims that it offers competitive ” salaries. But Cohen doesn 'agree. Disney is planning to expand and will n eed about 10,000 new workers-but about 75% of the new jobs will also be low paid.Cohe n is also un happy about the way people have to work at Disney World. 'We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I 'm supposed to han dle 2,000 visitors an hour. It 'just like a factory with assembly-li ne product ion, only this is a fun factory. " Cohe n says that the most importa nt thi ng for the compa ny is the nu mber of people who are processed through each side; if the nu mber is too small, the man ageme nt compla ins to the workers. But he says that you n ever hear the man ageme nt ask, Are being safe eno ugh? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happe ns every day ), the workers must keep smili ng. Cohe n says: We are supposed to makeeye con tact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don', you get reprimanded (训斥)."He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be. He is not surprised: if some one isn 'paid eno ugh, you don 'expect them to be happy.11.

Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer .This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand 's research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people who are sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound;we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics _____ .A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. _____ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23. Psychic abilities _______ .A. are similar to other sensesB. work in the same way as other sensesC. are different from other sensesD. work together with other senses24. Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ______ .A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ______ .A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆)or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions (交易)the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation (赔偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was _______ .A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage wasA. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husba nd was give n con trol over his wife's property.Part III.

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage 150,000 people work at Disney’s largest theme park, Walt Disney World in Qrlando, Florida. Do all of them like the job?One Disney worker explains how “cast members” are given jobs according to their age and appearance. For example: Young and pretty workers get jobs where they will interact a lot with customers; Anyone who might seem less “presentable” work on the night shift, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.Mike Cohen, a Disney worker and a trade union activist, says that most Disney workers don’t stay with the company for very long. “You can make $10 per hour if you are here for 10 years, but because so many people leave, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57per hour or less. ”Disney has not increased its starting wage for 5 years. Disney claims that it offers “competitive” salaries. But Cohen doesn’t agree. Disney is planning to expand and will need about 10,000 new workers-but about 75% of the new jobs will also be low paid.Cohen is also unhappy about the way people have to work at Disney World. “ We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I’m supposed to handle 2,000 visitors an hour. It’s just like a factory with assembly-line production, only this is a fun factory. ” Cohen says that the most important thing for the company is the number of people who are processed through each side; if the number is too small, the management complains to the workers. But he says that you never hear the management ask, “Are being safe enough? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happens every day ), the workers must keep smiling. Cohen says: “We are supposed to make eye contact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don’t, you get reprimanded (训斥).”He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be. He is not surprised: if someone isn’t paid enough, you don’t expect them to be happy.11. It can be inferred from the context that a “ cast member ” of Disney is it’s .A. security guardB. cookC. employeeD. shop assistant12.

The word “ presentable ” (Para. 2 ) probably means .A. good-lookingB. differentC. previousD. physicalPassage 2After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand”on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand’s research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.16.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people who are sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound; we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics ________.A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. ________ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB.

The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ________.A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry(嫁妆)or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property. The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions(交易)the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation(赔偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was ________.A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27.

What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husband was given control over his wife's property.Part III.
