Welcome to the Club! and answer the questions that follow.I came here to teach English in my early 20s and eventually moved into business, running a small import-export operation. I majored in Mandarin Chinese back in the U.S. and continued my languag e studies here. I’m now fluent in Chinese and my reading is just about perfect, I’m married to a local woman and have three kids who were all born and raised here. Granted, I haven’t got Chinese citizenship, as that would have involved me renouncing my Ame rican citizenship. I wasn’t prepared to do that as it would have caused me too many headaches, not least of which would have been having to get a visa every time I wanted to go back to visit family. But I have permanent residency in China and consider this my home. Despite all this, most Chinese people will always see me as an outsider. When I speak Mandarin, some people sometimes stare at me like I’m from another planet as they just can’t get it into their heads that a foreigner can speak their language. Also, as an African-American and a fairly tall guy, I am constantly stereotyped. People will ask if I can play basketball and are incredulous when I say I’m not a big fan. Once when I had just come through customs, I was mobbed by a huge group of fans who were waiting to greet some NBA stars who were visiting. It took me ages to explain that they had the wrong guy. Most of the stereotypes people have here are pretty harmless and there is no malice intended, but it can be pretty annoying, especially when peop le act amazed on discovering you’re a businessman.43. Which of the following is true about the writer?a. He has Chinese citizenship.b. He enjoys basketball.c. He has spent many years in his adopted country.d. He has had no issues adapting in his adopted country.44. What do people find hard to believe about the writer?a. He is an NBA star.b. He is an American businessman.c. He has so many children.d. He speaks Mandarin fluently.45. Why did fans mistake the writer for someone famous?a. He is black.b. He is tall.c. He looks American.d. All of the above.46. The word malice is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. harmb. visac. residencyd. stereotype(B)Directions:Directions: Read the following excerpt from Smarty Pants: The Stars with Big Brains and answer the questions that follow.Conan O’BrienThere’s no doubt that the late-night talk show host has the gift of the gab. He’s known for poking fun at anyone and everyone in the entertainment industry including himself. Illustrative of his knack for irreverent, quirky humor is the fact that he was a writer and producer for The Simpsons for a couple of seasons before he made a name for himself. Some might feel that his brand of humor is far from intellectual. However, there is no disputing the 50-year-old’s academic credentials. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a degree in history in 1985.Natalie PortmanThe Israeli-born actress is the perfect example of how beauty and brains need not be mutually exclusive. In addition to starring in many critically acclaimed films, she is known for her political-activism, supporting causes like same-sex marriage in the U.S. and women’s rights in developing countries. Although she made her big screen debut in 1994 at the tender age of 12, she did not let it affect her education. Like O’Brien, Portman attended Harvard, where she got her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2003 while continuing her work as an actress. Furthermore, Portman is also a polyglot, with fluency in Hebrew, French and Japanese.47. What did Conan O’Brien do before he was famous?a. studyb. drawc. actd. sell48. According to the excerpt, what do Portman and O’Brien have in common?a. They are 50 years old.b. They graduated in the same year.c. They majored in the same subject.d. They studied at the same university.49. Where is Portman originally from?a. Franceb. Japanc. the Middle Eastd. the U.S.50. The word polyglot is closest in meaning, as it is used in the excerpt, to which of the following?a. bilingualb. multilingualc. Jewishd. deaf。

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer SheetResilience Is About How You Recharge, Not How You Endure[A] As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old,we sometimes fantasize about howmuch work we can do when one of us gets on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, or movies.We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minutework call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazingwork session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with (继续处理)the emails that have inevitably still piled up.[B] Why should flying deplete us? We're just stting there doing nothing. Why can't we betougher, more resilient (有复原力的) and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of thegoals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that theproblem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from amisconception of what it means to be resilient, and the resuting impact of overworking.[C] We often take a mltaristic, “tough” approach to resilience and determination like aMarine pulling himself through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football playerpicking himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out,the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entireconception is scientifically inaccurate.[D] The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to beresilient and successful.

Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack ofrecovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery- -whetherbrains need a rest as much as our bodies do.[K] If you really want to build resilience, you can start by strategically stopping. Give yourselfthe resources to be tough by creating internal and external recovery periods. Amy Blanksondescribes how to strategically stop during the day by using technology to control overworking.She suggests downloading the Instant or Moment apps to see how many times you turn on yourphone each day. You can also use apps like Offtime or Unplugged to create tech free zones bystrategically scheduling automatic airplane modes. The average person turns on their phone 150times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute, that would account for 2.5 hours a day.[4] In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to charge your batteries. Try tonot have lunch at your desk, but instead spend time outside or with your friends - - not talkingabout work. Take all of your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, but raisesyour productivity and likelihood of promotion.[M] As for us, we've started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and thus time to dipinto the recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the time we get on a plane, and the crowded space and unstable internet connection make work morechallenging. Now, instead of swimming upstream, we relax, sleep, watch movies, or listen tomusic. And when we get off the plane, instead of being depleted, we feel recovered and ready toreturn to the performance zone.第36题It has been found that inadequate recovery often leads to poor health and accidents.第37题Mental relaxation is much needed, just as physical relaxation is.第38题Adequate rest not only helps one recover, but also increases one's work efficiency.第39题The author always has a hectic time before taking a flight.第40题Recovery may not take place even if one seems to have stopped working.第41题It is advised that technology be used to prevent people from overworking.第42题Contrary to popular belief, rest does not equal recovery.第43题The author has come to see that his problem results from a misunderstanding of the meaning ofresilience.第44题People's distorted view about resilience may have developed from their upbringing.第45题People tend to think the more determined they are, the greater their success will be.上一题下一题(46~50/共10题)Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.

With just a few clicks, we can connect with people from all over the world, access a vast amount of knowledge, and even shop for products online. However, this convenience comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest concerns is the potential for online fraud and identity theft. As more and more personal information is shared online, it is crucial to take steps to protect ourselves.One of the most effective ways to protect your identity online is to use strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. Using the same password for multiple accounts can put you at risk if one of your accounts is compromised. Additionally, it is important to be cautious when sharing personal information online. Avoid posting sensitive information such as your full name, address, or social security number on social media platforms.Another important step to protect your identity online is to keep your computer and mobile devices updated with the latest security software. This will help to prevent malware and viruses from infecting your devices and compromising your personal information. It is also important to be aware of phishing scams, which are designed to trick you into providing personal information. Be cautious of emails or messages that ask for sensitive information and always verify the legitimacy of the sender before responding.While it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of online fraud and identity theft, taking these steps can significantly reduce your chances of becoming a victim. By being proactive and informed, you can help protect yourself from the potential dangers of the internet.16. What is one of the biggest concerns mentioned in the passage?A.

It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has threetimes the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. The National Capitol could fitinto any one of the five wedge-shaped (楔形的) sections. There are very few people throughoutthe United States who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon. However, relatively fewpeople have had the opportunity to visit.The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. Approximately 23,000 employees, both militaryand civilian, contribute to the planning and execution of the defense of the country. These peoplearrive daily from Washington D. C. and its suburbs over approximately 30 miles of access highways, including express bus lanes and one of the newest subway systems in the country.They ride past 200 acres of lawn to park approximately 8,770 cars in 16 parking lots; climb 131stairways or ride 19 escalators to reach offices that occupy 3,705,793 square feet.While in the building, they tell time by 4,200 clocks, drink from 691 water fountains, utilize284 rest rooms, consume 4,500 cups of coffee, 1,700 pints of milk and 6,800 soft drinks preparedor served by a restaurant staff of 230 persons and dispensed in 1 dinging room, 2 cafeterias, 6snack bars, and an outdoor snack bar.

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 and 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.31. After-sales services and guarantee can provide the customers with ____.A) solid ground for loyalty C) a feeling of convenienceB) sense of responsibility D) sense of satisfaction32.

Which is not mentioned in the introduction to product guarantee?A) A brand’s research and development.C) Quality control.B) Product testing and refinement. D) Product distribution.Passage ThreeQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: As we get older, many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or tovisit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: Prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodiedto fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention tothese barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, that counts.36. The first paragraph focuses on that _______.A) there are many disabled people in the worldB) the number of disabled people in India is the greatestC) India has much more disabled people than CanadaD) it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world’s disabled people37. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _______.A) disability B) ignorance C) prejudice D) barriers38. The last word of the passag e “counts” most probably means _________.A) being most important C) being includedB) being considered D) being numbered39. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.B) There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK.C) The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.D) There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.40. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A) we should try our best to prevent disablementB) both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downC) we must take a proper attitude towards the disabledD) the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabledPassage FourQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, and pushed yourself forward at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me wha t’s worrying you, I can’t help you.”After some hesitation, the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor madethe man write to his brother asking for forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, theman burst into tears. “Thank you,” he said. “I think I’m cured.” And he was. A heartfelt apology cannot only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.41. When we have done something wrong, we should __________.A) look honest and think over the fault carefullyB) escape from being disturbedC) admit the fault and express the regretD) forgive ourselves42. What will happen if we have done something wrong?A) Our logic of thinking will be disturbed.B) We shall lose a friend.C) We shall apologize at once.D) Our moral balance will be disturbed.43. What was the cause of the patient’s disease?A) Headache C) Disturbance of conscience.B) Stomach trouble. D) Some unknown physical weakness.44. What had the patient done to his brother?A) He had sent his brother abroad.B) He had cheated his brother out of his inheritance.C) He had given just a little share of the inheritance to his brother.D) He had gone abroad leaving his brother nothing.45. The patient was cured by ________.A) writing a letter C) mailing a letterB) crossing a check D) asking his brother to forgive himPart IV Vocabulary & Structure (15%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this section. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence and then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.46. _______mistakes and weaknesses, it did a great deal of good work inside the trade union.A) No matter what B) Although C) In spite D) Despite47.

大学英语四级考试试题真题 (4)
大学英语四级考试试题真题Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …”what follows that “but”can render the apology ineffective: ”I had a bad day”or “your noise was giving me a headache ”leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent”does not commit a person to any specific improvement.These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe sayingsorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become a ware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.

You should write at Least 120 words following the outline given below : 1．名校校园正成为旅游新热点2．校园是否应对游客开放，人们看法不同3．我认为……Should the University Campus Be Open to tourism?Nowadays, many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attraction. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China. In the place far away from the capital city, the local students also visit the universities famous in their own province.So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it canenable the middle students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare themselves with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the public tourism will have negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study . With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.。

When Presley died,many mourners journeyed to Memphis, Tennessee, Presley's home, to pay their last respects. While most of these fans knew a lot about the songs of Elvis, few of them knew the story of how Elvis had his first record which was for his mother.

Sam Philips, who owned the shop where Elvis made the record, liked Presley's songs. He said he would call him some day. About a year later, Philips did call and ask him to cut a record.

Each passage is followed by five questions. Choose the best answer to each question .Passage OneMrs. Jones’ telephone number was 3463, and the number of the cinema in her town was 3464, so people often made a mistake when they wanted the cinema.One evening the telephone bell rang and Mrs. Jones answered it. A tired man said, “At what time does your last film begin?”“I’m sorry,” said Mrs. Jones, “but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.”“Oh, it began twenty minutes ago,” said the man. “I’m sorry about that. Goodbye.”Mrs. Jones was very surprised, so she told her husband. Mr. Jones laughed and said, “The man’s wife wanted to go the cinema, but he was feeling tried, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard HIM, but she didn’t hear YOU. Now they will stay at home this evening, and the husband will be happy!”11. Why do people often telephone Mrs. Jones when they want the cinema?DA) Because she lives next door to the cinema.B) Because she knows the cinema program very well.C) Because the telephone company’s computer goes wrong from time to time.D) Because her telephone number is similar to that of the cinema.12. Why was Mrs. Jones so surprised at a phone call one evening? CA) Because the call was from a stranger.B) Because the man on the phone knew her name.C) Because the man on the phone asked a question and then answered it himself.D) Because the man on the phone invited her to the cinema.13. According to Mr. Jones, why didn’t the man on the phone want to go to the cinema? BA) Because he had seen the film before.B) Because he was feeling very tired that evening.C) Because the film wasn’t worth seeing.D) Because the film had started already.14. What do you think the man’s wife wanted to do that evening? AA) To go to the cinema with her husband.B) To find out when the last film started.C) To stay home with her husband.D) To eat out with her husband and then go to the cinema.15. What can you conclude from the story? BA) The man on the phone was not interested in film.B) The man on the phone was rather clever.C) The man’s wife was fond of films.D) The telephone companies are inefficient sometimesPassage TwoBritain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart. Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war—which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥抱）,Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys（调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US. Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able t o make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.16. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is _____D___.A) friendly B) impoliteC) brotherly D) a mixture of love and hate17. The war in Iraq does ____D____ to the relationship between France and Britain.A) good B) harmC) neither good nor harm D) both good and harm18. The British are not so friendly to ___A_____ and the French are not so friendly to ________.A) Germany; America B) America; GermanyC) Germany; Germany D) America; America19. ________are more interested in having holidays in ___D_____.A) American people … Britain B) British people … GermanyC) French people … Britain D) British people … France20. What does the last sentence mean? __C______A) As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.B) The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.C) France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.D) The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.Passage ThreeNo one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn’t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestleg discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn’t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn’t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.21. It is ＿＿＿B＿since a man felt all the pain while being operated.A) a few more years B) not long C) few years D) two thousand years22. Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he ＿C＿＿＿.A) could feel nothing B) could not want anythingC) could feel all the pain D) could do anything23. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ＿＿B＿＿.A) be afraid of anything B) feel painC) want to go to the parties D) be ill24. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ＿C＿A) felt nothing B) felt very comfortableC) still felt pain D) would die25. One who took too much of the laughing gas ＿＿A＿.A) would die B) would laugh all the timeC) would never feel pain D) would be very calmPassage FourA foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store , and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands（任务）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting”it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life. Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business cal1, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally,Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.26. Which of the following statements is wrong? ____D____A) Americans seem to be always under pressure.B) Americans attach less importance to patience.C) Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.D) Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.27. In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority" means ___B_____.A) a less important thing B) a first concernC) a good business D) an attractive gift28. Americans evaluate a business colleague _____D___.A) through social courtesyB) through prolonged business talksC) by establishing business relationsD) by learning about their past performance29. This passage mainly talks about ____A____.A) how Americans treasure their timeB) how busy Americans are every dayC) how Americans do business with foreignersD) what American way of life is like30. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ___C_____.A) critical B) ironical C) appreciative D) objectivePart III Grammar and Vocabulary (20 points)Directions:There are ten incomplete sentences in this part.

大学英语英语4级考试(答案) (2)
大学英语四级试练习卷一、阅读理解Passage 1Research Solves Forestry ProblemsForestry is a science and, as such, those who practice it must have one thing that make scientific progress possible: the benefit of research. Every forestry problem solved by research lets forestry advance one more vital step. Logically, therefore, research to solve problems is a major job of the Forest Service. It covers the whole forestry field, including the protection and management of forests, related rangelands, and water-sheds; utilization of forest products; and the economic aspects of forestry. The Service's regional forest and range experiment stations and its Forest Products Laboratory are constantly making new forestry studies throughout the United States and announcing new forestry facts.Redeeming the American Chestnut. Scientists have long been seeking ways of bringing back that valuable and storied tree, the American chestnut. Attacked by a blight (枯萎病) brought in from Asia about 1900, practically all of our native chestnuts were killed. Their gaunt (古瘦如柴的 ) white skeletons are a reminder of a tree whose range extended from New England to Alabama and Louisiana. But there is a glimmer of hope. Forest Service scientists have found a few individual trees that seem to be resistant to the disease. Buds or branches from 28 of these tough survivors have been grafted to other root stocks for multiplication and the chance for further study of their resistance.Forest research may yet make the American chestnut once again tempt the palate (味觉) , and also help supply the nation's timber needs.Can Lightning Fires Be Prevented? Foresters have a hard job making people careful with fire in the forests. At the same time, some of them are trying to make Nature cut down the number of fires she starts with her most powerful fire-starting weapon, lightning.A little white cloud, peeking up over a Montana mountain, is quickly found by a mobile radar unit. It is tracked as it gets bigger and starts its journey with the winds. Finally, any lightning storm which develops in it is analyzed. This cooperative research project, known as "Skyfire", has also made experiments in cloud seeding to reduce lightning occurrence. It is too early for positive conclusions, but scientists believe their findings will lead to a better preparedness and quicker attack on lightning-caused fires. Foresters may eventually be able to prevent lightning fires more easily than those caused by man.Getting More Seed from Better Trees. Would you believe that healthy trees that have been deliberately wounded will produce more seed than undamaged trees? That's what happened when foresters partly girdled (cut away a narrow strip of bark part way around the tree) some longleaf pines in Louisiana—they produced twice as many cones as did ungirdled trees. In Montana, they tried it with five-year ponderosa pines. These experimental trees bore 26 cones as against one cone on the ungirdled control trees. In the South where slash pine is "chipped"(a form of partial girdling) for turpentine, the chipped trees produced 50 per cent more cones than comparable unchipped trees.Developing a White Pine Strain Resistant to Blister Rust. You can always identify the white pines because the needles are in clusters of five—and there are five letters in the word w-h-i-t-e. This also applies to the sugar pine of California, which is also a white pine. Count the letters in s-u-g-a-r. Five again!White pines have a particularly vicious enemy—the disease called blister rust. Long ago scientists found that the disease spores do not go from one white pine to another; they need an alternate host, either currant or gooseberry bushes. Destroy these bushes near white pine trees and the disease is stopped. This sounds easy, but it is a very expensive and tedious job.Well, foresters aren't satisfied with that. They have found a few—just a few —white pine trees that are resistant to the disease. Starting with these few trees, the Forest Service and other public agencies in the United States and Canada are trying to develop a resistant strain of white pine that will still have good timber quality.How to nail a House Together. Nails are the principal fasteners used in building a wood-frame house. How these nails are selected and used determines how solid the building will be. It's important to know the size, number, and placement of nails necessary to construct a house so it will successfully resist such forces of nature as strong winds, hurricanes, earthquakes.The Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, a unit of the Forest Service, has made exhaustive studies of nailing techniques. The results, contained in a booklet, Technique of Hose Nailing, are of value to engineers, architects, carpenters, and home-owners as a guide to the building of betterhouses. With the booklet (available from the U. S. Forest Service) one can judge the quality of the nailing in the construction of his own house.Will "sandwich" Houses Be Practical? The Forest Products Laboratory developed a sandwich building panel with a core of honeycomb paper. Treatment with synthetic resins makes the honeycombed paper resistant to moisture and decay. To study the suitability of such panes for house construction, a test structure was built some years ago at the Laboratory Exposure to Madison's rigorous weather for some time indicates that "sandwiches" will be suitable for use in buildings. Sandwich panels are now used in doors, partitions, furniture, and demountable buildings. In time they will no doubt be used in house construction.Can Direct Seeding of Pine Be Improved? In the past, the replanting of burned-over or clean—cut forest areas has been done by the somewhat slow and laborious method of individual planting of seedlings which had been raised in tree nurseries. Direct seeding in such areas had proven unsuccessful because birds and rodents would help themselves to this ready supply of food before the seed could germinate. Now, discovery of a bird and rodent repellent that can be easily applied to longleaf pine seeds before sowing is- making the direct seeding of trees practical and inexpensive.The repellent, composed of tetramethyl thiuram disulfide, is not harmful to birds or animals in the amounts used and does not retard germination of the seed. Although it is slightly irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat of humans, it is safe to use, according to studies made by the Alexandria (Louisiana) Research Center of the Forest Service and the U. S. Fish andWildlife Service.Direct sowing of tree seeds is the cheapest way to plant. Foresters, however, still advocate setting out seedlings because it is a simpler procedure for most people and more predictable. But seeding is becoming more foolproof and in another few years should be more generally accepted. Seeding costs about $ 8. 50 per acre compared to $ 12 per acre for planting seedlings.Does Age Affect Strength of Wood? A test of the floor joists (托梁) of the Octagon House, Washington, D. C. , shows joists that were cut form virgin Southern yellow pine of high quality to be as strong as when they were installed more than 150 years ago.Mechanical test by the Forest Products Laboratory showed that the timbers were strong enough for their purpose and differed little from the strength of similar newly-cut timbers. The tests were made on sections from several parts of the joists. No decay was found.1.The passage gives a general description of contributions made by forestry.2. Forest fires caused by lightning occur more frequently than those caused by man.3. Blister rust is a serious destroyer of white pine trees.4. The strength of wood-frame houses depends on what sort of nail is used.5. The time when yellow pine was cut to make floor joists prevented them from decaying.6. The bird and rodent repellent, made up of tetramethyl thiuram disulfide does not affect germination of the seed.7. The Forest Service scientists are likely to help fulfill America's timberdemand by saving the American chestnut.8. Each time a forestry problem is solved by research, forestry_______.9. _______pines is a way to get more seed from better trees.10. The honeycombed honeycombed(蜂窝结构的) paper becomes resistant to moisture and decay when it is treated with_______.Passage 2It is estimated that 11 seven hundred million people—about half of the world's population—are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundredand fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it 12 qualifies a literacy.Recently the attack on illiteracy has been 13 up. A world plan has been drawnup by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the 14 has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learnthe 15 skills of responsible 16 : the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, pricelists, to keep simple records and accounts, to 17 out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms.The 18 areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, 19 eighty to eighty-five per cent of the 20 population. In Europethe figure isabout twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about sevenhundred thousand).A. basicB. citizenshipC.steppedD.someE. majorF. barely G.sort H.membershipI. superio r J. entire K.scarcelyL.constitutingM. total N. subjectO.comprisingPassage 3In the age of a global economy and an information society, the world is now • 234 •seeking a new economic pattern beyond traditional capitalism and socialism. As the influence of Japan in the world economy becomes greater, Japanese companies will necessarily be globalized in a "borderless" economy. There are two aspects to the information revolution. The first is rapid technologic innovation in various fields such as microelectronics, new materials and biotechnology. The second is the reorganization of industrial structure. These environmental changes require the Japanese economy to be a driving force of technological innovation and to create new business and new employment opportunities. Japanese companies should meet requirements not only to survive themselves, but also to lead the new industrial revolution throughout the world.We can say that the concept of HES proposes a new economic system which Japan has actually developed in the process of adaptation to a changing environment. HES is a system that can integrate both the efficiency of capitalistic competition and the equality of socialistic democracy. It is a system that can resolve the internal contradiction of both the systems of capitalism and socialism, in which power is concentrated in minority—the capitalists or the central government. Moreover, HES is a system of high productivity, which the Japanese economy demonstrates.In Japan, there seems to have been an invisible principle of "coexistence of opposites. " Historically, Japan has allowed the coexistence of various religions such as Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Christianity. In the process of modernization after the Meiji Restoration, Japan has incorporated Western science and technology onto the Eastern spiritual culture. Since the Second World War, Japan has built a cooperative relationship between management and labor unions. Today, Japan is trying to synthesize capitalism and socialism into a new economic system.21. The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage isA. New Economic Pattern of the 21st CenturyB. The Influence of Japan on the World EconomyC. A Global Economy and an Information SocietyD. A System of High Productivity22. In the 2nd paragraph, the word "borderless" could best be replaced by which of the following?A. lack of borderB. edgelessC. international.D. global23. The phrase "These requirements" in Paragraph 2 meansA. environmental changesB. rapid technological innovation and reorganization of industrial structureC. the Japanese economy to be driving force of technological innovation and to create new business and new employment opportunitiesD. two aspects of information revolution24. HES is a system_______.A. that is a mixture of capitalism and socialismB. whose concept has been created by a changing environment of the worldC. in which Japanese productivity is highD. in which power is concentrated in a minority25. In Japan, an invisible principle of "coexistence of opposites" is shown in the passage in _______ respects.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. fivePassage 4A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts; to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front is increasing or decreasing in intensity. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its originalcharacteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal a synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather condition existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts and all climatic conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day "out-look" which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels which often set the stage for the development of air masses, fronts, and storms.Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions. With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations. Extensive experiments are also in progress for weather modification studies. But the limitations of weather modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of supercooled, upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional rainfall on the windward side of mountain ranges. Nevertheless, they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements.26. The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageousbecause it_______.A. enables man to alter the weatherB. makes weather prediction easierC. gives the scientist information not obtained readily otherwiseD. uses electronic instruments27. One characteristic of weather maps NOT mentioned by the author in this passage isA. frontsB. thermal changesC. frostD. wind speed28. The thirty-day forecast is determined by examining_______.A. daily weather mapsB. upper air levelsC. satellite reportsD. changing fronts29. At the present time, experiments are being conducted in_____A. 30-day "outlook"B. controlling stormsC. controlling weatherD. determining density of pressure groups30. Artificial rainmaking has been most successful in the_______.A. lake areaB. western slope of mountainsC. grass landsD. windward side of mountains二、完型填空完型填空（一）If you were to begin a new job tomorrow, you would bring with you some basic strengths andweaknesses.
