歌剧的性质三百多年以来，歌剧已经成为一种最吸引人的音乐娱乐形式。

各具独特的魅力与和他有关的一些分不开——咏叹调，歌唱家和角色，更不用说它的首映夜了。

卡门，咪咪，维奥莱塔，特里斯坦无论是在现实中还是故事中，是什么样的人物能拥有一代又一代那么重视的观众呢？歌剧就是演唱出来的戏剧。

它把声乐、器乐资源---独唱家、合奏，合唱团、乐队、芭蕾与诗歌、戏剧、表演、哑剧、舞台场景、还有戏服等办法融合起来。

把多种元素融为一体并不简单，这一点一直让音乐史上一些最有聪明才智的人大伤脑筋。

乍一看，歌剧似乎不太可能让观众那么容易相信它。

因为它呈现给我们的是一些人沉浸在剧情中不用对话用歌声来表达感情。

有理由问这样一个问题（从歌剧诞生以来文学家们既已经尖锐地问过了）：一种这么不自然的艺术如何让人信服呢？这个问题忽略了一点：让艺术一直都具有激情的最基本的东西：不是去复制自然，而是提高我们对自然的意识。

的确，现实中的人们不会对唱，也不会像莎士比亚笔下的人物那样用无韵诗对话，他们也不住在为方便观众看见里面而缺少一面墙的房间里。

所有的艺术使用一些艺术家和观众都能接受的传统，歌剧使用的传统比诗歌、绘画、戏剧、或电影更明显但本质有不一样。

一旦我们已经接受毯子能飞的事实，也就很容易相信它也可以带上把王子的行李。

歌剧在诗化的戏剧中具有独特的作用。

他利用人类的声音以其独有的力量把人类最基本的情感——爱、恨、妒嫉、快乐、悲伤对观众形成强大的冲击。

现实的逻辑在歌剧的舞台上被艺术超越现实的逻辑所替代，被音乐对心灵产生的力量所替代。

The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings -- a ratio that remainedalmost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.21. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U.S. farms in 1870?A. AnimalsB. HumansC. EnginesD. Water22. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.23. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 _____.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been established24. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would______.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy25. What is the authors attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed by themD. He questions their usefulness学位英语考试完形填空样题For many people today, reading is very important. In___1___a job, the ability to read and ___2___quickly can meanthe___3___between success andfailure.

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow.Passage OneBefore China started developing manned spaceship in 1992, space experts of the nation's "863" high-tech program had conducted 5-year studies on the question—will China choose to develop spaceship instead of space shuttle?Some experts held that since the U.S. and Russia had worked outspace shuttles, China could learn from their technologies and experience, skip over spaceship and leap directly to space shuttle.Other experts believed that manned space flight was a matter involving human life, so safety and reliability must be put at top priority; space shuttle, although more advanced than spaceship technologically, bore tremendous technological difficulties and risks. Meanwhile, the development of space shuttle required many sophisticated technologies, which was a gap too big for China to bridge at that time.Viewed from the history of manned space flight, both the Soviet Union and the United States started from spaceship when beginning their space flight missions. Currently the most frequently launched and widely used spaceship is satellite-style manned spaceship. Another reason was the huge fund needed in developing space shuttle was too much for China. While China was already in possession of mature satellite recovery technology, based on which the recovery of spaceship can be solved, and many technologies for spaceship can be borrowed from that of satellites.After full discussion, comparison and analysis, experts reached agreement that China must take a space flight road conforming to its national conditions, must learn from the experience and developing way of Soviet Union and the U.S., which is, starting from spaceship instead of space shuttle.Moreover, considering that China had achieved much in developing carrier rocket and gained rich experience and solid technological ground for application satellites, especially recoverable ones, experts concluded that China could, through efforts, leap directly to the third-generation spaceship—manned spaceship with multiple cabins and astronauts.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN1.Why did some experts think that we should develop space shuttle?• A. Because the U.S. and Russia had worked out space shuttles, China has to catch up with them.• B. Because it is the mark of great power.• C. Because it is easier to develop space shuttle than spaceship.• D. Because we can learn from the technologies and experience of the U.S. and Russia.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?• A.

Files of this kind would be highly valuable for many kinds of economic and social research, but they are bought at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance their opportunities of blackmailers. While such dangers should not be ignored, it should be noted that the lack of comprehensive data files has never before been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom.Making **puter the villain in the invasion of privacy or encroachment on civil liberties simply divers attention from the real dangers. Computer data bank files can and must be given the highest degree of protection from abuse. But we must be careful also, that we do not employ such crude methods of protection as to deprive our society of important data it needs to understand its down social processes and to analyze its problems.Perhaps the most important question of all about **puter is what it **e and will do to man's view of himself and his place in the universe. The most heated attacks on **puter are not focused on its possible economic effects, its presumed destruction of job satisfaction, or its threat to privacy and liberty, but upon the claim that it causes people to be viewed, and to view themselves, as machines.What **puter and progress in artificial intelligence challenge are an ethic that rests on man's apartness from the rest of nature. An alternative ethic, of course, views man as a part of nature, governed by nature law, subject to the forces of gravity and the demands of his body. The debate about artificial intelligence and the simulation of man's thinking is, in considerable part, aconfrontation of these two views of man's place in the universe.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN6.Why is it important to prevent the abuse of computer data banks?• A. To protect the right of the individual.• B. To maintain discipline in society.• C. To encourage economic and social research.• D. To collect wide-ranging information.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN7.Too much caution in the use of computers will ______.• A. prevent the solution of economic problems• B. cause more suppression of human freedom• C. lead to clumsy methods of protection• D. interfere with our study of societyA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN8.What lessons can be learned from the past in this decade?• A. Private issue has always been associated with data collection.• B. Attacks on freedom are new.• C. The accumulation of data encourages oppression.• D. Privacy has been a neglected issue.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN9.•The arrival of **puter has made man ______.A. have more difficulty understanding himself• B. think more like a machine• C. look at himself in a different way• D. gain less satisfaction from his workA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN10.The best title for the passage would be ______.• A. Privacy on Data Files• B. Heated Attacks on the Computer• C. Privacy Issue caused by Computer• D. Privacy Has Been Long NeglectedPassage ThreeGood news is bad news and bad news is good news, newsmen often say to one another. And when you look at the media it's only too easy to see what they mean. A dictionary definition of the media is**munications, e.g. the press, television, radio. The media sees its main purpose as giving the public news. Naturally to provide the public with news it has first to gather it. The whole function and purpose of the media, then seem to depend on the word "news", but more important, on how the word is interpreted.The media, like any big business venture today, is an**petitive world of its own. In providing material for its public it has constantly to make sure it serves the right diet. No public will waste time on your paper or your TV channel otherwise. The sad truth is that there seems only one way to catch an audience—hit them right between the eyes. What started as a mild tap has now become a sledgehammer blow that goes by the name of sensationalism.A reporter chooses—has to choose—a news story because of its sensation value. The young inexperienced cub reporter rings his news editor about a car crash. He starts to explain the details to him but the experienced editor asks the cub one question: "Anyone killed?" and to himself he thinks, why do we offer jobs to children?One may accuse newsman of cynicism but they will quickly remind you of the hard facts of survival in the world of the media. The favorite words the newspaper place cards in the streets bombard the public with are, "Surprise, Sensation, Drama, Shock". You wonder, put an end to sensation long ago. As a regular newspaper reader you also thank Heavens for the light relief of **ic strips. Turn finally from them to what is referred to laughingly as "steam radio", in order to show its relative antiquity. This for many millions of people is the only live contact they have with the outside world that rightly or wrongly they have been led to believe they should have contact with. It's extremely hard of course to see why, when for the most part its news services bring them tragedy, disaster, heartbreak, otherpeople's misfortunes—in a word, trouble. What again becomes quickly apparent is that a man's job depends on sensationalism, and we are asked to excuse him for this.Perhaps the media hasn't quite grown up and we should congratulate it on getting this far. The year 2000 may see great changes in the way news is presented to us. Again, who knows, it might even get worse—if such a thing is possible. Perish thethought!SSS_SIMPLE_SIN11.According to the passage which is most important?• A. The media's purpose.• B. The news itself.• C. What is thought of as news.• D. The gathering of news.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN12.The passage suggests that to appeal to the public you have to ______.• A. use physical violence• B. give them cooking recipes• C. report violent happenings• D. make them unhappyA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN13.Experienced news editors obviously think that ______.• A. children are useless are as reporters• B. some reporters are like children• C. children make the best reporters• D. young reporters give not enough detailA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN14.People who control the media ______.• A. will defend themselves very fully• B. don't give lengthy answers• C. never listen to criticism• D. justify their behavior at great lengthA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN15.The passage suggests that being informed by radio ______.• A. is a good thing• B. is a bad thing• C. may be a bad thing• D. as reliable as watching TVA B C DPassage FourWhen imaginative men turn their eyes towards space and wonder whether life exists in any part of it, they may cheer themselves by remembering that life need not resemble closely the life that exists on Earth. Mars looks like the only planet where life like ours could exist, and even this is doubtful. But there may be other kinds oflife based on other chemistry, and they may multiply on Venus or Jupiter. At least we cannot prove at present that they do not.Even more interesting is the possibility that life on their planets may be in a more advanced stage of evolution. Present-day man is in a peculiar and probably temporary stage. His individual units retain a strong sense of personality. They are, in fact, still capable under favorable circumstances of leading individual lives. But man's societies are already sufficiently developed to have enormously more power and effectiveness than the individuals have.It is not likely that this transitional situation will continue very long on the evolutionary time scale. Fifty thousand years from now man's societies may have become so close-knit that theindividuals retain no sense of separate personality. Then little distinction will remain between the organic parts of the multiple organisms and the inorganic parts (machines) that have been constructed by it. A million years further on man and his machines may have merged as closely as the muscles of the human body and the nerve cells that set them in motion.The explorers of space should be prepared for some such situation. If they arrive on a foreign planet that has reached an advanced stage (and this is by no means impossible), they may find it being inhabited by a single large **posed of many closely cooperating units.The units may be "secondary"—machines created millions of years ago by a previous form of life and given the will and ability to survive and reproduce. They may be built entirely of metals and other durable materials. If this is the case, they may be much more tolerant of their environment, multiplying under conditions that would destroy immediately any organism made of **pounds and dependent on the familiar carbon cycle.Such creatures might be relics of a past age, millions of years ago, when their planet was favorable to the origin of life, or they might be immigrants from a favored planet.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN16.What does the word "cheer" (Para 1,) imply?• A. Imaginative men are sure of success in finding life on other planets.• B. Imaginative men are delighted to find life on other planets.• C. Imaginative men are happy to find a different kind of life existing on other planets.• D. Imaginative men can be pleased with the idea that there might exist different forms of life on other planets.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN17.Humans on Earth today are characterized by ______.• A. their existence as free and separate beings• B. their capability of living under favorable conditions• C. their great power and effectiveness• D. their strong desire for living in a close-knit societyA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN18.According to this passage, some people believe that eventually______.• A. human societies will be much more cooperative• B. man will live in a highly organized world• C. machines will take control over man• D. living beings will disappear from EarthA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN19.Even most imaginative people have to admit that ______.• A. there is no possibility of the existence of other 6rganisms in our Solar system• B. machines may outlive organisms• C. living beings will disappear from EarthD. humans are less developed form of **pared with that of other planetsA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN20.It seems that the writer ______.• A. is interested in the imaginary life forms• B. is eager to find a different form of life• C. is certain of the existence of a new life form• D. is critical of the imaginative peopleA B C DPassage FiveAt PARC, we have lived with **puting for almost ten years. Early on we confronted the question of how to do this work most ethically. We concluded that it is vitally important for everyone, scientists and consumers alike, to remain alert to the ethical issues we may face as the world becomes filled with embedded, **puters.Computer chips have been inserted into everyday objects since the earliest days of the microprocessor. Today, an average home might have 40 chips in various devices, from remote controls to alarm clocks to wristwatches. This fact has raised few new ethical issues. But as computers become more and more ubiquitous, and less visually obvious, three questions arise. Firstly, will these chips thinkingfor us make us forget how to think for ourselves? Secondly, will an "information underclass" without access to these devices be created? And thirdly, will these chips invade our privacy?The goal of **puting is to make technology invisible and, by**puters into everyday things, make the things themselves smarter. But will this lead to dumber people with less control over their technology? Automobiles, for example, use **puters for a host of functions that improve their performance and reliability. But fewer people now know enough about their car to be their own mechanic. Should this loss of a **mon skill concern us? I think not. Ever since the first pre-human shaped a stone into an axe, we have been improving our technology. The invention of the axe did represent a loss of control, because some people were better at making axes than others. But the axe also made life easier, so we had more time to develop other skills, like agriculture, art and writing. As another step along this continuum of invention, **puting won't make people dumber; it will give them time to get smart about other things.I believe, however, that everyone should be given an equal opportunity to get smart about other things. In this regard, there is。

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage onePlastic bags are fast choking our planet. They are expensivefor not only consumers but also the environment; the need of the hour is therefore to come up with eco-friendly bags.Environment friendly bags are the latest and most fashionable to bit the market. Environment friendly people want to be associated and seen with natural fiber bags. Multicolored patch work bags and printed bags are everyone’s favorite. Most eco-friendly bags are made of cotton. These bags are very comfortable and elegant. They are not only attractive but also long lasting.A cotton bag is a simple and stylish way to eliminate waste and make a fashion statement.

To make the eartha better place to live in and to know more about long-lasting and fashionable eco-friendly bags, please visit /doc/f511450261.html,.16. The phrase “to come up with” (Paragraph 1) means “________”.A. to replaceB. to purchaseC. to produceD. to ban17. Cotton bags are becoming popular because they are _______.A. strong and easy to keepB. less costly and washableC. eco-friendly and fashionableD. light and convenient to carry18. Kariwala is probably ________.A. a new material for making bagsB. a manufacturer of bagsC. the name of a bag store.D. an advertising agency19. By “revolution” (Paragraph 5), the author probably refers to the _______.A. great reduction of white pollutionB. a brand new style of bag designC. a new way to promote cotton bagsD. widespread use of eco-friendly bags20. The primary purpose of the author is to .A. promote Kariwala cotton bagsB. advocate the advantages of cotton bagsC. highlight the importance of bag designsD. persuade people to follow the fashionPassage TwoA review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence”that---all else being equal ---happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.The study is the most comprehensive review so far of the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author ED Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events.“We reviewed eight different types of studies,”Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed---contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.”A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer-term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones.There were a few exceptions, but most of long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life.While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said.“Happiness is no magic bullet,”he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.”21. The word “compelling” (Paragraph 1) means “_______”.A. directB. convincingC. adequateD. conclusive22. According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener .A. studied the health conditions of the subjectsB. conducted experimental human trialsC. made long-term studies of human subjectsD. review other researchers’ studies23. According to the studies on university students and Catholic nuns, who are more likely to livelonger?A. Well-educated people.B. Optimistic people.C. Open-minded people.D. Religious people.24. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to a shorter life?A. Depression and anxiety.B. Lack of enjoyment.C. Constant lack of sleep.D. Stress and pessimism.25.By saying that “Happi ness is no magic bullet”(Paragraph 7), Diener means thathappiness .A. is not ever lastingB. is not easy to obtainC. is not a good treatment of diseasesD. is not a guarantee of health and long life Passage ThreeCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold blooded.Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is a n expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted menor cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.26. The focus of the passage is .A. the meanings of expressions with “cold”B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and bodyC. why people are unhappy with cold weatherD. how some people become cold blooded27. A cold-blooded killer may take the life of another person .A. by accidentB. for no reasonC. out of fearD. in self-defense28. If a person “gets cold feet”, he or she may fe el a little .A. angryB. puzzledC. disappointedD. frightened29. A cold fish is a person who _______.A. is indifferent to others’ sufferingsB. tends to turn down others’ helpC. remains cool in emergencyD. prefers to stay all alone30. Which of the following expressions may mean “unlucky”?A. Cold face.B. Cold feet.C. Cold heart.D. Out in the cold.Passage FourThe New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of—Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.”He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”, which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that ten per cent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence”.Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs of being overly absorbed in technol ogy are. She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”. The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another sign is if you always look forward to your next online visit — a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a few more minutes” when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found one’s communication with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is compared with family and friends; do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Internet instead of going out withothers? Other indicators include the “online lift”that stops you being unhappy, and others’complaints about you always being online.31. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Internet AddictionB. Virtual LifestylesC. Indicators of Net DependenceD. Importance of the Internet32. According to T ara Parker-Pope, millions of people .A. have realized the problem of Internet addictionB. cannot get rid of their habit of staying onlineC. have become more patient and careful onlineD. welcome the changes brought about by technology33. What does Dr. Elias Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we are living in?A. They make people eager to talk to each other.B. They make people more dependent on the Internet.C. They have a negative effect on real-life relationships.D. They get more people interested in online studies.34. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.D. Arriving late for important appointments.35. What does “tech overload” (Paragraph 2) mean in the passage?A. Over-absorption in the Internet.B. Over-dependence on e-mail.C. Over-interest in technology.D. Over-interaction with friends.PART III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then put your choice on the answer sheet.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: (易)Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. His mother and father were of Puritan(清教徒的) religion. They left England and moved to the English colony Massachusetts in order to escape persecution for the religion. In Boston, Franklin left school when he was ten years old and worked for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brother’s newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen. Because he wanted to beindependent, he went to Philadelphia. There he bought his own newspaper, He worked hard and saved his money. And by the age of 24 he was one of the most successful men in Philadelphia.In 1732 Franklin published a book “ POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC（历本）”. Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings, his observations about life, some of these sayings are still famous today. For example, “Early to bed, e arly to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,” and “Waste not, want not,” and “ A penny saved is a penny earned.”26.

Franklin’s almanacs contained_____________.A. information for farmersB. wise sayingsC. poor Richard’s ideasD. Both A and B26-30答案：DBCBDQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: （中）Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of thesubstances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.31. Pruning should be done to _____.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker32. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener _____.A .allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. .does not protect them from windC. .forces them to grow too quicklyD. .damages some of the small side branches33. Why is a special substance painted on the tree?A. To make a wound smoothB. To prevent disease entering a woundC. To cover a rough surfaceD. To help a wound to dry34. A good gardener prunes a tree_____.A .at intervals throughout the yearB .as quickly as possibleC .occasionally when necessaryD .regular every winter35. What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?A. To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.B. To give a general description of pruningC. To explain how trees develop diseasesD. To discuss different methods of pruning.31-35答案：BABCAQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: （较难）Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products.36. The purpose of this passage is _____.A. .to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyB. .to explain industrial uses of waterC. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsD. to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem37. Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage?A. Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.B. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of waterC. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding populationD. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals38. The reader can conclude that_____A. countries of the world will work together on pollution problemsB. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceC. science is making great progress on increasing water suppliesD. some industries are now taking economic use of wastes39. The author gives substance to the passage through the use of_____.A. interviews with authorities in the field of water controlsB. opinions and personal observationsC. definitions which clarify important termsD. strong arguments and persuasions40. The words "prior to "(para.1) probably mean_____.A after B. during C. before D. beyond36-40答案：CA DBCQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: (中)Traveling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business, I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ master work “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought---I know, I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them what the state of real hitching is today in Britain.I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.When I was in my teens and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa. Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality on the road.Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane, but there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?A few years ago, I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper. Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking.Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec, Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places, the general feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.With so much news about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger. But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?In Poland in the 1960s, according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,＂the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time a driver picked somebody, he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season, drivers who had picked up the most hiker s were rewarded with various prizes. Everyone was hitchhiking then”.Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography, history, politics and sociology.A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, another adventure stor y writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto: “To travelhopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.41. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking? ________A. (3)B. (4)C. (3) and (4)D. (4) and (5)42. What is the current situation of hitchhiking? _______A. It is popular in some parts of the world.B. It is popular throughout the west.C. It is popular in Poland.D. It is still popular in Poland.43. What is the writer’s attitude towards the practice in Poland? ________A. Critical.B. Unclear.C. Somewhat favorable.D. Strongly favorable.44. The writer has mentioned all the following benefits of hitchhiking EXCEPT ________A. promoting mutual respect between strangers.B. increasing one’s confidence in strangers.C. protecting environment.D. enr ich one’s knowledge.45. “Either put it to the test yourself…”in the last Paragraph means ________A. to experience the hopefulness.B. to read Adams’ book.C. to offer someone a lift.D. to be a hitchhiker.41-45答案：CADBDPart III Cloze (10%) （理解、识记、掌握）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.But Bryan wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said, “If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and think of me.”After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕). Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $ 10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she read it: “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others.” Under the note were nine more $ 100 bills.Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell him the news. “Bryan… Bryan Anderson my dear… you’re not going to believe what just happened…”31.

Which of the following shows the relationship between the man, the lady and the waitress?(B)Frankenstein is one of the world’s most famous horror stories. It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪兽) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 she decided to become a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream: “I dreamt that my little baby came to life again--- that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived.”In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-old Mary visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. One night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story Frankenstein.Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in1851.36. What do we know about the story Frankenstein?A. It was really written by Mary Shelley’s husband.B. It has been read by millions of people.C. It was written to remember Shelley’s husband.D. It is the most famous story in the world.37. Where was Mary Shelley when she wrote the story Frankenstein?A.

Movies based on the story of Frankenstein were made.A. a, c, b, e, dB. d, c, a, b, eC. c, a, b, d, eD. b, a, d, c, e39. How old was Mary Shelley when she died?A. 43.B. 48.C. 51.D. 54.40. What can we learn about Mary Shelley from this passage?A. She experienced a lot of sadness in her life.B. She wasn’t considered a good writer during her life.C. She was educated at her local school.D. She became very rich because of the story Frankenstein.(C)I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable (可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possibly so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous--- then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.41. Who wrote this passage?A. A reporter.B. A sportsman.C. A patient.D. A professor.42. The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because ______.A. most are not very important.B. they are not the real causes of the problem.C. they cannot be controlled by people.D. it’s better to deal with one cause at a time.43. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A. Go swimming often to get used to it.B. Avoid going to the swimming pool.C. Find a swimming teacher.D. Imagine watching others swim.44. What is true about nervousness according to the passage?A. It usually has only one cause.B. It is usually caused by people.C. People can easily manage it.D. Most people suffer from it.45. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience.B. To advise on how to deal with nervousness.C. To help people remember their fears.D. To explain the dangers of nervousness.Ⅴ. Writing ( 15 points) 假设你的妈妈是一位中学老师，爸爸是一名工人，你是一名中学生。

南艺英语课文Unit9（附课后全习题）附翻译

南艺英语课⽂Unit9（附课后全习题）附翻译Unit 9TextHave you ever seen such operas as Carmen and Tristan ?And , how much do you know about opera ?The Nature of OperaFor well over three hundred years the opera has been one of the most alluring forms of musical entertainment. A special glamor is attached to everything connected with it —its arias, singers and roles, not to mention its opening nights. Carmen, Mimi, Violetta, Tristan —what characters in fact or fiction can claim, generation after generation, so constant a public?An opera is a drama that is sung. It combines the resources of vocal and instrumental music —soloists,ensembles, chorus, orchestra andballet withpoetry and drama, acting andpantomime, scenery and costumes.To combine the diverse elementsinto a unity is a problem that hasexercised some of the best mindsin the history of music.At first glance opera wouldseem to make impossible demandon the credulity of the spectators. It presents us with human beings caught up in dramatic situations who sing to each other instead of speaking. The reasonable question is (and it was asked most pointedly throughout the history of opera by literary men) :how can an art form based on so unnatural a procedure be convincing? The question ignores what must always remain the fundamental aspiration of art:not to copy nature but to heighten our awareness of it. True enough, people in real life do not sing to each other Neither do they converse in blank verse, as Shakespeare's characters do; nor live in rooms of which one wall is conveniently missing so that the audience may look in. All the arts employ conventions that are accepted both by the artist and his audience. The conventions of opera are more evident than those of poetry, painting, drama, or film, but they are not different in kind. Once we have accepted the fact that the carpet can fly, how simple to believe that it is also capable of carrying the prince's luggage.Opera functions in the domain of poetic drama. It uses the human voice to impinge upon the spectators' basic emotions —love, hate, jealousy, joy, grief —with an elemental force possible only to itself. The logic of reality gives way on the operatic stage to the transcendent logic of art, and to the power of music over the life of the heart.Study andPracticcComprehension of the TextI. Answer the following questions.1.When did opera become one of the most attractive forms of musical entertainment?2.What is opera?3.Why would opera seem to make impossible demands on the credulity of thespectators?4.What does the author mean by saying "once we have accepted the fact that thecarpet can fly how simple to believe that it is also capable of carrying the prince's luggage"?5.Do you like opera?

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Part II MatchingDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the Information is derived. You may choose a paragraph morethan once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by markingthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.When Mom and Dad Grow OldA) The prospect of talking to increasingly fragile parents about their future can be “one of themost difficult challenges adult children will ever face,” says Clarissa Green, a V ancouver therapist. “People often tell me they don’t want to raise sensitive issues with their parents about bringing in caregivers or moving,” she says. “They’ll say, ‘I don’t want to see dad cry.’” But Green usually responds, “What’s wrong with that?” Adult children, she says, need to try to join their parents in grieving their decline, acknowledge their living arrangements may no longer work and, if necessary, help them say goodbye to their beloved home. “It’s sad. And it’s supposed to be. It's about death itself.”B) There are almost four million men and women over age 65 in Canada. Nearly two thirds ofthem manage to patch together enough support—from family,friends,private and government services — to live independently until virtually the day they die, according to Statistics Canada.C) Of the Canadian seniors who live to 85 and over, almost one in three end up being moved —sometimes kicking — to group living for the last years of their lives. Even in the best-case scenarios（可能出现的情况）, such dislocations can bring sorrow. “Often the family feels guilty,and the senior feels abandoned,”says Charmaine Spencer,a professor in the gerontology department of Simon Fraser University. Harassed with their own careers and children, adult children may push their parents too fast to make a major transition.D) Val MacDonald, executive director of the B. C. Seniors Services Society, cautions adultchildren against imposing their views on aging parents. “Many baby boomers can be quite patronizing(高人一等的),”she says. Like many who work with seniors, MacDonald suggests adult children devote many conversations over a long period of time to Collaborating on their parents’ future, raising feelings, questions and options — gently, but frankly. However, many middle-aged adults, according to the specialists, just muddle (应付) through with their aging parents.E) When the parents of Nancy Woods of Mulmur Hills, Ont., were in their mid-80s, they madethe decision to downsize from their large family home to an apartment in Toronto. As Woods’parents, George and Bemice, became frailer, she believed they knew she had their best interests at heart. They agreed to her suggestion to have Meals on Wheels Start delivering lunches and dinners. However, years later, after a crisis. Woods discovered her parents had taken to throwing out the prepared meals. Her dad had appreciated them, but Bemice had come to believe they were poisoned. “My father was so loyal,” says Woods, “he had hid that my mother was overwhelmed by paranoia (偏执狂).” To her horror. Woods discovered her dad and mom were “living on crackers and oatmeal porridge” and were weakening from the impoverished diet. Her dad was also falling apart with the stress of providing for Bemice — a common problem when one spouse tries to do everything for an ailing partner. “The spouse who’s being cared for might be doing well at home,” says Spencer, “but often the otherspouse is burned out and ends up being hospitalized.”F) Fortunately, outside help is often available to people struggling through the often-distressingprocess of helping their parents explore an important shift. Sons and daughters can bring in brochures or books on seniors' issues, as well as introduce government health-care workers or staff at various agencies, to help raise issues and open up discussions, says Val MacDonald, whose nonprofit organization responds to thousands of calls a year from British Columbians desperate for information about how to weave through the dizzying array of seniors services and housing options. The long list of things to do, says MacDonald, includes assessing their ability to live independently; determining your comfort level with such things as bathing a parent; discussing with all household members whether it would be healthy for an elderly relative to move in; monitoring whether, out of pure duty, you're overcommitting yourself to providing a level of care that could threaten your own well-being.G) The shock phone call that flung Nancy Woods and her parents into action came from herdesperate dad. “I got this call from my father that he couldn’t cope anymore. My mother was setting fires in the apartment,” she says. “He didn't want to see it for what it was. Up to then he’d been in denial.”Without knowing she was following the advice of experts who recommend using outside sources to stimulate frank discussion with parents. Woods grabbeda copy of The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for Persons With Alzheimer Disease,Related Dementing Illness, and Memory Loss in Later Life. She read sections of the book to her dad and asked him, “Who does that sound like?” Her father replied, “It’s mother. It’s dementia (痴呆).” At that point, Woods said, her dad finally recognized their tragic plight (困境). She told her father she would help them move out of their apartment. “He nodded. He didn’t yell or roar. He took it on the chin(忍受痛苦).H) Woods regrets that she “had not noticed small details signaling mom’s dementia.” But she’ssatisfied her dad accepted Ms passage into a group residence, where he and his wife could stay together in a secure unit where staff were trained to deal with patients with dementia.“From the moment they moved into the Toronto nursing home,their physical health improved. On the other hand, it was the beginning of the end in terms of their mental abilities. Perhaps they couldn't get enough stimulation. Perhaps it was inevitable.”I) After my father died in 2002, the grim reality of my mother’s sharply declining memory set instarkly. With her expanding dementia, mom insisted on staying in her large North Shore house, even though she was confused about how to cook, organize her day or take care of herself. For the next three years we effectively imposed decisions on her, most of them involving bringing in caregivers, including family members. In 2005 mom finally agreed, although she barely knew what was happening, to move to a nearby nursing home, where, despite great confusion, she is happier. As Spencer says, the sense of dislocation that comes with making an important passage can be “a very hard adjustment for a senior at the best of times. But it’s worse if it’s not planned out.”1. Under the pressure and stress from their own careers and children, adult children tend to pushtheir parents to group living.2. When Nancy Woods’ father got to know their tragic plight, he finally agreed to move out of their apartment.3. When Nancy Woods’ parents reached their mid-80s, they moved into an apartment.4. Clarissa Green suggests that adult children should try to share their fragile parents' grieving feelings.5. Val MacDonald’s organization is non-profit and helps adult children with their aging parentissues through phone calls.6. Since Nancy Woods’ parents moved into the Toronto nursing home, they became physicallyhealthier, but had new problems with their mental abilities.7. When her mother set fires in the apartment. Nancy Woods’ father was desperate and turned toher for help.8. According to Statistics Canada, most Canadian seniors older than 65 live independently until they die.9. Val MacDonald warns baby boomers not to force their parents to accept their views.10. Despite knowing little about what was happening, the author's mother lived more happily in anearby nursing home.Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn't an either/or proposition (命题), although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts that the study of the humanities (人文学科) and social sciences must remain central components of America's educational system at all levels.Both areas are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative (创新的) leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates' job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it's natural to look for what may appear to be the most "practical" way out of the problem: "Major in a subject designed to get you a job" seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as "soft" often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there's little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.57. What does the latest congressional report suggest?A. STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B. The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C. The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students' spiritual life.D. Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.58. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A. Their interest in relevant subjects.B. The academic value of the courses.C. The quality of education to receive.D. Their chances of getting a good job.59. What does the author say about the so-called soft subjects?A. They benefit students in their future life.B. They broaden students' range of interests.C. They improve students' communication skills.D. They are essential to students' healthy growth.60. What kind of job applicants do employers look for?A. Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.B. Those who are good at solving practical problems.C. Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.D. Those who have received a well-rounded education.61. What advice does the author give to college students?A. Seize opportunities to tap their potential.B. Try to take a variety of practical courses.C. Prepare themselves for different job options.D. Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Space exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade’s end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated(共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims.When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The perpetual argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxury—as if saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modem Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us—not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the twotypes of dreams feed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can transcend what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.62. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that_________.A. imagination is the mother of inventionB. ingenuity is essential for science fiction writersC. it takes patience for humans to realize their dreamsD. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction63. How did the general public view Kennedy’s space exploration plan?A. It symbolized the American spirit.B. It was as urgent as racial equality.C. It sounded very much like a dream.D. It made an ancient dream come true.64. What does the author say about America’s aim to explore space?A. It may not bring about immediate economic gains.B. It cannot be realized without technological innovation.C. It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality.D. It cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds.65. What is the author’s attitude toward space programs?A. Critical.B. Reserved.C. Unbiased.D. Supportive.66. What does the author think of the problems facing human beings?A. They pose a serious challenge to future human existence.B. They can be solved sooner or later with human ingenuity.C. Their solutions need joint efforts of the public and private sectors.D. They can only be solved by people with optimism and ambition.Section C Blank FillingDirections: In this section, there are ten sentences with ten blanks.

Then put your choice on the answer sheet.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: (艺术类~易) Norah Jones had a sleepless night on February 23. The 23-year-old American jazz singer, who found her voice in the small clubs of New York, dominated the 45th annual Grammy Awards — the music industry's most prestigious award ceremony.She seemed as surprised as everyone else that her first album, "ComeAway With Me", was such a big success. It won her the most wanted awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist."I can't believe this, I feel really blessed and really lucky to have thisyear," said the wide-eyed girl at the ceremony.Jones grew up in Texas, US, with her mother. Her parents separated before she was born. She began singing in church choirs (唱诗班) at the age of five and started piano lessons two years later.At the age of 15, Jones entered the High School for the Performing Arts in Washington. She won Best Jazz Singer and Best Original Composition at the 1996 and 1997 Student Music Awards.She had always enjoyed singing, but felt the piano would be a more solid foundation in life. So Jones chose to study jazz piano music at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York city.The trip started out as a summer vacation. But Jones soon realized she wanted to stay for a while. "The music scene in New York is so huge and exciting. Everything opened up for me. I couldn't leave," she said.Jones became friends with local songwriters and was inspired to write her own songs. She began to sing and play the piano in a band. She got her break in 2001 and released "Come Away With Me" the following year.The album is a blend of jazz, country and folk-pop. It has now sold more than 6 million copies around the world and has won much praise from the music industry. "She makes an album that people will remember in 20 years," said American country singer Faith Hill.26. Norah Jones had a sleepless night on February 23.

A lucky chance appeared and she made some achievement that year.26-30答案： C D B B DQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: （艺术类~~中）He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later.But after his death, he achieved world fame.Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time. Postcards and posters of his paintings and drawings continue to sell like hot cakes.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003 "The van Gogh Year" in his honour.And the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹), home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year."He is a big name like Einstein and Beethoven. He is such a great figure. We are always amazed by how popular he is and his popularity seems to be growing," said Andreas Bluehm, the museum's head of exhibitions.The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor (牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery(画廊) salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.His masterpieces including portraits, sunflowers and landscapes were produced in just 10 years.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His style is marked by short, broad brushstrokes."Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use colour more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly," he wrote in a letter to his brother, Theo, in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on support from Theo, an art dealer who lived in Paris.But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" (《伽塞医生的肖像》) sold for US$89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting."I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colours in them are attractive to people," said Molly Anderson, a van Gogh fan.31. What does the fifth paragraph mean?　A. The van Gogh museum will give exhibitions the whole year through.　B. The van Gogh museum holds the biggest collection of his masterpieces.　C. The van Gogh museum will host a big and long celebration for van Gogh this year.　D. The exhibitions will be held in honour of van Gogh.32. What does the word “figure” in the sixth paragraph mean?　A. Man.　B. Name.　C. Number.　D. Form.33.Why did the writer cite (引用) a part of a letter written by van Gogh?　A. To show van Gogh's skill.　B. To show his style.　C.

Which statement is true?A. He lived a long hard life.B. He sold many paintings during his life.C. People at that time persued his paintings crazily.D. His works are now sold for millions of dollars.31-35答案：CABDDQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: （较难）English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three-quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the larger vocabulary －perhaps as many as two million words －and one of the noblest bodies of literature.Nonetheless, let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, neither pine nor apple in pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.English muffins (松饼) weren't invented in England or French fries in France.Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths and a guinea pig is neither a pig nor from Guinea.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don’t ham?

成人高等教育学士学位英语真题9 (1)

成人高等教育学士学位英语真题9(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、Paper OnePart Ⅰ Reading Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)For centuries Dutch engineers have been fighting a war against water. Their main enemy is the sea. A large part of the country is below sea level. In fact, Holland is also called the "Netherlands" which means "low land", Very tall and strong walls, called dykes, have been built to keep out the sea. But in very rough weather the sea may suddenly burst through a dyke. Great damage can be caused by floods when this happens.Three large rivers are also part of the problem. These rivers are the Rhine, the Maas and the Scheldt. They flow through Holland into the North Sea. They have cut many passages across the country. At low tide, the rivers flow into the sea as usual. But at high tide, the sea can flow into the rivers! This is because the land is so low.The battles against the water never end, but they have made Holland a bigger and bigger country. In order to prevent floods, the engineers take or reclaim land that was under water. The Dutch have been reclaiming land for seven hundred years.Land is usually reclaimed from a passage between islands. Two dykes are built across the passage, so they block the water between them. Then the engineers dig long canals and pump the water into them. At low tide, the canals empty the water into the sea.Because the land is so low, water from the sea and rivers can rise up through the ground. For this reason, the pumps continue working even the land has been drained (that is, when the water has been pumped away). The dykes contain gates, and through these the water is pumped out. In many parts of Holland, pumps must be working all the time. If they stopped, there will be very bad floods.（分数：10.00）(1).Water is the main threat to Holland because ______.（分数：2.00）A.the sea is too roughB.the land is lower than the sea √C.the high and strong dykes can not keep the floods outD.the weather is too rough解析：[解析] 文章开头提到荷兰工程师们几个世纪以来就一直同水做斗争，这个国家的主要敌人就是大海。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then put your choice on the answer sheet.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: (艺术类~易) Norah Jones had a sleepless night on February 23. The 23-year-old American jazz singer, who found her voice in the small clubs of New York, dominated the 45th annual Grammy Awards —the music industry's most prestigious award ceremony.She seemed as surprised as everyone else that her first album, "Come Away With Me", was such a big success. It won her the most wanted awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist."I can't believe this, I feel really blessed and really lucky to have this year," said the wide-eyed girl at the ceremony.Jones grew up in Texas, US, with her mother. Her parents separated before she was born. She began singing in church choirs (唱诗班) at the age of five and started piano lessons two years later.At the age of 15, Jones entered the High School for the Performing Arts in Washington. She won Best Jazz Singer and Best Original Composition at the1996 and 1997 Student Music Awards.She had always enjoyed singing, but felt the piano would be a more solid foundation in life. So Jones chose to study jazz piano music at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York city.The trip started out as a summer vacation. But Jones soon realized she wanted to stay for a while. "The music scene in New York is so huge and exciting. Everything opened up for me. I couldn't leave," she said.Jones became friends with local songwriters and was inspired to write her own songs. She began to sing and play the piano in a band. She got her break in 2001 and released "Come Away With Me" the following year.The album is a blend of jazz, country and folk-pop. It has now sold more than 6 million copies around the world and has won much praise from the music industry. "She makes an album that people will remember in 20 years," said American country singer Faith Hill.26. Norah Jones had a sleepless night on February 23. From this sentence, we can see she was ______ that night.A. tiredB. having difficulties going to sleepC. excitedD. too busy to sleep27. What does the writer mean by saying"…who found her voice in the small clubs of New York" in the first paragraph?A. She once lost her voice and after some medical treatment in New York, she found her voice.B. Her experiences in those clubs helped her realize she was a good singer.C. She started to sing in those clubs.D. Her experiences in those clubs helped her develop her singing style.28. At the end of paragraph 3, the writer uses the description "wide-eyed" to show Norah was ______.A. a girl with big eyesB. very surprisedC. inexperiencedD. opening her eyes wide29. Put the events listed below in the correct order.a. Norah started learning the pianob. she won Student Music Awardsc. she studied Jazz piano musicd. she sang in church choirse. she took a trip to New YorkA. a-b-c-d-eB. d-a-b-c-eC. d-c-a-b-eD. a-b-d-c-e30.

She reached a high point that year.D. A lucky chance appeared and she made some achievement that year.26-30答案： C D B B DQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: （艺术类~~中）He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later.But after his death, he achieved world fame.Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time. Postcards and posters of his paintings and drawings continue to sell like hot cakes.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003 "The van Gogh Year" in his honour.And the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹), home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year."He is a big name like Einstein and Beethoven. He is such a great figure. We are always amazed by how popular he is and his popularity seems to be growing," said Andreas Bluehm, the museum's head of exhibitions.The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor (牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery (画廊) salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.His masterpieces including portraits, sunflowers and landscapes were produced in just 10 years.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His style is marked by short, broad brushstrokes."Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use colour more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly," he wrote in a letterto his brother, Theo, in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on support from Theo, an art dealer who lived in Paris.But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" (《伽塞医生的肖像》) sold for US$89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting."I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colours in them are attractive to people," said Molly Anderson, a van Gogh fan.31. What does the fifth paragraph mean?A. The van Gogh museum will give exhibitions the whole year through.B. The van Gogh museum holds the biggest collection of his masterpieces.C. The van Gogh museum will host a big and long celebration for van Gogh this year.D. The exhibitions will be held in honour of van Gogh.32. What does the word “figure” in the sixth paragraph mean?A. Man.B. Name.C. Number.D. Form.33.Why did the writer cite (引用) a part of a letter written by van Gogh?A. To show van Gogh's skill.B. To show his style.C. To show that he was an emotional person.D. To show he was an unusual man.34. Which of the following does not belong to his masterpieces?A. PortraitsB. SunflowersC. LandscapesD. Birds35. Which statement is true?A.He lived a long hard life.B. He sold many paintings during his life.C. People at that time persued his paintings crazily.D. His works are now sold for millions of dollars.31-35答案：CABDDQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: （较难）English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three-quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the larger vocabulary －perhaps as many as two million words －and one of the noblest bodies of literature.Nonetheless, let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, neither pine nor apple in pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. English muffins (松饼) weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths and a guinea pig is neither a pig nor from Guinea.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese －so one moose, two meese? And in what other language do people drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? Recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?Anyway, English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't really a race at all). That is why, when stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay I end it.36. According to the passage, not more than half of the ___ are using English.A. people in the worldB. booksC. mailD. journals37. A word can show English's paradox is ____.A. disasterB. singerC. cookerD. spider38. "recital" in the fourth paragraph is a kind of ____.A. performanceB. theatreC. instrumentD. film39.
