They were very poor, but as they were deeply in love, they wanted to get ma rried. The young people’s parents shook their heads. “You can’t get married yet”, they said. “Wait till you get a good job with good prospects.” So the young people waited until they found good jobs with good prospects and they were able to get married. T hey were still poor, of course. They didn’t have a house to live in or any furniture, but that didn’t matter. The young man had a good job with good prospects, so large organizations lent him the money he needed to buy a house, some furniture, all the latest electrical appliances and a car. The couple lived happily ever after paying off debts for the rest of their lives. And so ends another modern romantic fable.We live in a materialistic society and are trained from our earliest years to be acquisitive. Our possessions, “mine” and “yours”, are clearly labeled from early childhood. When we grow old enough to earn a living, it does not surprise us to discover that success is measured in terms of the money you earn. We spend the whole of our lives keeping up with our neighbors, the Joneses. If we buy a new television set, Jones is bound to buy a bigger and better one. If we buy a new car, we can be sure that Jones will go one better and get two new cars: one for his wife and one for himself. The most amusing thing about this game is that the Joneses and all the neighbors who are struggling frantically to keep up with them, are spending borrowed money kindly provided, at a suitable rate of interest, of course, by friendly banks, insurance companies, etc.[共5题](1) By the fable, the author wants to convey __________.(A) the value of love(B) importance of parents in marriage(C) good job is the basis of a happy marriage(D) we live in a materialistic society(2) In the second paragraph the phrase “keep up with the Joneses” means __________.(A) doing something in order to be as good as other people, because they are the best(B) doing something in order to show they have as much money as other people, rather than because they really want to do it(C) doing something with the Joneses in order to keep them company(D) doing something with the Joneses in order to learn their good points(3) According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?(A) We don’t develop the concept of “possession” until the adulthood.(B) Joneses buy a new TV because the old one is too small.(C) Bigger TV and better cars are bought just to keep up with the Joneses.(D) Friendly banks lend Joneses the money at a very low rate of interest.(4) Which one of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?(A) Joneses and neighbors are spending borrowed money.(B) We live in a materialistic society and are trained from our earliest years to be acquisitive.(C) Our possessio ns, ‘mine’ and ‘yours’, are clearly labeled from early childhood.(D) We spend the whole of our lives keeping up with our neighbors, the Joneses.(5) Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage?(A) Ironic(B) Optimistic(C) Objective(D) Neutral43.In all American history, there is no story stranger than that of John A. Sutter. When the independence of California was declared in 1846, San Francisco was a small town of some 800 inhabitants. Then, in 1848, gold was discovered on land not far away. This land was owned by John A. Sutter.During the famous Gold Rush of 1849, there was a vast movement of people toward San Francisco and the gold fields. The city grew to three times its size in just a few weeks. Previously a quiet, pleasant town, San Francisco was changed almost overnight into a rough and crowded city. The same factors that operated to change San Francisco also changed the life of Sutter. Sutter was a citizen of Switzerland. He had come, penniless, in the spirit of adventure to the United States. By chance, he obtained the rights to a large piece of land, some seventy miles north of San Francisco. Here Sutter established his own private colony. As an intelligent, well-educated man, he built a fort, inside which he established a large trading post. He became a very rich man.Then in 1848, in a stream leading from a mill, one of Sutter’s workmen found some pieces of gold. At first, Sutter tried to keep the news quiet. He had dreams of becoming richer, perhaps the richest man in the whole world. But, within a few weeks, the news about the gold leaked out. Men descended upon his land from all directions. These people killed his cattle, stole his farm produce and tools, and tore down his buildings to obtain wood to build homes for themselves. The city of Sacramento sprang up where Sutter’s fort stood. On the site of his saw mill grew up the present city of Coloma.[共5题](1) Which of the following is TRUE about Sutter?(A) Poor as he was, Sutter was full of adventurous spirit.(B) Sutter got his college education in Switzerland.(C) Sutter was a colonist.(D) Sutter was the richest man in the whole world.(2) From the passage we know that __________.(A) Sutter declared the news of gold discovery(B) men descended upon Sutter’s land to explore the gold for him(C) while building a saw mill, Sutter himself found some pieces of gold(D) the city of Sacramento sprang up because of the gold discovery(3) The change of both San Francisco and the life of Sutter was due to __________.(A) the movement of people toward San Francisco(B) the independence of California(C) the Gold discovery(D) the spirit of adventure(4) __________ attracted people coming from all directio ns to Sutter’s colony.(A) Sutter’s large trading post(B) Sutter’s wealth(C) The discovery of gold on Sutter’s land(D) Sutter’s intelligence(5) What does the underlined world “quiet” mean?(A) With little or no movement or sound(B) Not open or revealed(C) Free from excitement, trouble, anxiety(D) Gentle, not rough44.The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. However, to most people, cars are also personal fantasy machines that serve as symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure.In addition, much of the world’s e conomy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the world’s paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction.In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wildlife resources. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it, riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives.Since 1885, when Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year, cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250,000 people -as many as were killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki-and injure or permanently disable ten million more. Half of the world’s people will be involved in an auto accident at some time during their lives.Since the automobile was introduced, almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways-about twice the number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all U.S. wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses.Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger.Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world’s cities. In the United States, they produce at least 50% of the country’s air pollution.[共5题](1) Besides its basic purpose, Car also serves as a symbol of people’s _________.(A) occupation(B) status(C) character(D) reputation(2) According to the passage, the average number of people killed annually in traffic accidents around the world is __________.(A) 60 million(B) 250,000(C) 3 million(D) 18 million(3) A serious environmental problem resulting from automobiles is _________.(A) tragic loss of life(B) traffic jams(C) air pollution(D) mental stress(4) Which of the follow can be inferred from this passage?(A) Automobiles are an important part of the world’s economy.(B) Automobiles are becoming less dangerous.(C) Automobiles will produce less air pollution in the future.(D) Automobiles are killing more people in recent years than in the past.(5) The title that suits the passage best is _________.(A) Automobile and Economy(B) Automobile and the Environment(C) The Problems with the Automobile(D) Advantages and Disadvantages of the Automobile45.I don’t know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet’s Soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antony’s “Funeral Oration”, Grey’s “Elegy”, and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all.He sent me to college to the state university.The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc., and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in playwriting which had just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there, became obsessed with the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London, I was living all alone at that time.I had two rooms-a bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.[共5题](1) We may conclude, in regard to the author’s development as a writer, that his father _________.(A) made an important contribution(B) provided him with good education(C) opposed his becoming a writer(D) insisted that he memorize good poetry in order to learn how to be a writer(2) The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of _________.(A) his special talent(B) his father’s teaching(C) his study at Harvard(D) a strong hidden wish within him(3) Which of the following is TRUE about the author?(A) He began to think of becoming a writer at Harvard.(B) He had always been successful in his writing career.(C) He went to Harvard to learn to write plays.(D) He worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer.(4) The author really started on his way to become a writer _________.(A) when he was in high school(B) when he was studying at Harvard(C) when he lived in London(D) after he entered college(5) According to the passage, about t he author’s life in 1926 which of the following conclusions CANNOT be safely drawn?(A) He lost the ability to determine in which direction he should go.(B) He was depressed about having his plays rejected.(C) He lived in a house which had smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.(D) He started his first novel.46. Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, would a little more money make us __(1)__ happier? Many of us would agree. There is, we believe, some connection between having money and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we __(2)__ to be rich. Three in four American college students now consider it is “very important” or “essential” __(3)__ they become “very well off financially”. Money matters. Well, are the rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, such as Bangladesh, being __(4)__ well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and __(5)__ contact. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where everyone can __(6)__ life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation __(7)__ wealth and happiness is “surprisingly weak”, observed University of Michigan researcher, Ronald Inglehart, in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people.

They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Y et, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. (263 words)C31. The passage mainly deals with _______.A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebritiesD32.

Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.C34. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______.A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her deathD. after she gave birth to a princeB35. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?A. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one’s story.Passage 2 害羞(腼腆)是很多人不愉快的一个原因Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In ge neral, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―Y ou’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. (309 words)B36.

It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage ThreeWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is ―no‖. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he us es these tools that make him a scientist. Y ou will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. Y ou will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. (263 words)B41. What makes a scientist according to the passage?A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His way of learning.D. The various tools he uses.C42. ―The scientist, however, goes one step further…‖.

A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvementC44. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigationsD45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.

While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. (290 words)A46. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborsB47. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food D48. The expression ―wait on table‖ in the second paragraph means ―_______‖.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurantA49. The author’s attitude towards manual(体力的)labor is _______.A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. criticalB50. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made Family.B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.C. Characteristics of American Culture.D. The Development of Manual Labor.51. Old age, I decided, is also a gift.

They find, all of a sudden, that they can no more / longer carry on the job they have done for dozens of years. Some old people cannot adapt themselves to such a change and thus become depressed, believing that they are no longer useful. Indeed, depression has become one of the leading threats to old people’s health. Nonetheless, many old people in China are able to maintain their sense of usefulness by rendering their grown-up children services, such as taking care of their grandchildren andproviding allowances to them. The question remains as to whether senior citizens should try other means to fill up their leisure, rendering their later years still more meaningful. I suggest the old concern themselves less with their children and make room for young people to take responsibility for their own lives. After all, the old deserve respect from the young and the young should tolerate their aged parents more, on the grounds that the old have contributed so much for so many years both to their family and to society.THEME-RELATED WRITING1. AIDS Across the EarthAIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth. Several million infections are reported by WHO each year. The virus does not care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or old. It will attack you as long as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer of young adults and is turning the children whose parents sufferthe disease into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live under the shadow of AIDS.There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products; an infecte d person’s pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated or treated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For this reason, they cannot get immediate medical treatment. Our harmful attitudes towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life and, more importantly,how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can we really bring AIDS under control.2. Why Do the Young Adults Kill Themselves?Young adults are in the prime of their lives and are supposed to pursue their dreams and enjoy themselves. Yet it was reported in the Guardian that suicide is the main cause of death among young adults in China. Why have so many young people ended their lives?Three factors are thought to account for the high suicide rate: increasing stress, loneliness and a lack of medical support for depression. The most pressing one, I think, is stress. Take my college life for example. From the first day I entered the university, I have been living under pressure. I used to worry that I could not quite fit into the campus life; I also feared that I might not catch up with my classmates in my studies or could not live up to my parents’ expectations. Now I am deeply concerned about whether I can find a desirable job after graduation. Endlesspressures give rise to stress. Loneliness is another problem. Many young people find they just feel helpless when they are suffering intolerable sadness or frustration.Suicide is a great tragedy, especially for the young. If we can find ways to relieve them of their stress and offer timely help, we may save many young lives.。

汉译英Unit 4Conversation 1M: Good morning, Professor Harkens. I hope I am not disturbing you.W: Not at all, Tom. Come right in. I'm always in my office in the morning.M: I thought I’d get an early start on my research paper and would like to discuss my topic with you if you have a moment.W: Of course. I recommend that all my students should discuss their topics with me before they begin their research. What do you want to work on?M: I was especially interested in your lecture on dinosaurs and the apparent mystery surrounding their extinction. I’d like to explore that qu esti on, but I’m not too sure how to go about it.W: Well, according to the most widely held theory, thedinosaurs died out because of the sudden cooling of the earth’s temperature. Your textbook summarizes the conclusion of several paleontologists on this point.M: Didn't you also mention a second theory in your lecture? That dinosaurs may simply have been replaced by mammals gradually and might not die out as a direct response to the cool weather?W: Yes. Van Vellen and Sloan are proponents of this theory. And I've put some of their articles on reserve in the library.M: Van Vellen and Sloan? I’d better write that down.W: Let me know how your work progresses, Tom. If you should run into any problems, be sure to stop by again.( 236 words )Questions 9 to11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. Who are the two speakers? (C)10. What is the main focus of T om's research? (B)11. Who most likely are Van Vellen and Sloan? (C)Conversation 2W: Hew! This rowing is hard work. Let’s have the boat toward the old lighthouse now.M: Good idea. We can rest there for a while and eat our lunch. Then we can climb to the top platform where the light is before we visit the museum at the base of the lighthouse tower.W: Whenever I came out here, I thought about the family who used to live on the little island and take care of the light every night. What a lonely life that must have been!M: Yeah, to help ships find their way along shoreline, at night, they had to constantly make sure that the windows up around the light were clean and free of ice and snow.W: Dirty soot must have been a problem. Didn’t they burn candles up there?M: This one used to have a kerosene lamp. But they changed over to electricity around 1920, I think.W: In New Port, Rode Island, people talked about a woman who was a lighthouse keeper for over 50 years. Ida Louise was her name. She saved a lot of people from dying in ship wrecks.M: Was her lighthouse out on an island like this one?W: On one even smaller and further from land. In stormy weathers, it was pretty dangerous for small boats.M: I understand the United States Coast Guard takes care of the most modem lighthouses.W: Yeah, but the light is automatic nowadays. The lighthouse is still a friendly sight at night though.M: Here we are. This lighth ouse is the friendliest sight I’ve seen today. I’m exhausted. (269 words)Questions 12 T o 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What are the people doing? (C)13. What was a major problem for every lighthouse keeper?(B)14. Why was Ida Louise famous? (B)15. How does the man feel at the end of the conversation? ( B )Section BPassage 1More and more electronic devices and services in our daily life mean we have too many passwords and numbers to remember. Passwords help us protect our wealth and privacy; however, they also bring us a lot of troubles.Every day I need to remember much useless information. Every morning I turn on my cellphone – it needs a password. I get to work and I have to have access to my computer with a password. Like many people in Britain, I have two bank accounts. One needs a five-digit number and a password; the other needs a six-digit number and a memorable place name. I have an online savings account that needs a different password from the password for my bank account.Even if you never use a computer, you can be hit by the password overload. Look in your wallet. You probably carry four or five credit cards. In these days of chip and pin, these are virtually useless if you do not have the magic four-digit numbers. The banks tell you not to have the same number for all your cards. Give me a break. Am I going to carry five different random four-digit numbers in my head? After all, I'm not Good Will Hunting.I’ve tried systems to help me remember -- such as using the names of favorite films or members of my extended family; but none seems to work. So what is the solution? ( 238 words ) Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do passwords bring to us? (D)17. Which of the following does NOT need a password? (D)18. What has the speaker tried to do to remember his passwords? (C)Passage 2Internet is threatening our privacy. In the past, if a shop manager wanted to know you better, he had to rely on a good memory for detail. They came out from behind the counter to give you personalized service, browsed the shelves with you and made recommendations.In this digital marketplace, the ―shop manager‖ may actually be a machine. It searches in its memory of information about you, analyzes it and creates a clear portrait of what you are likely to buy and do in the future. Not all companies approach personalization in the same way. For some websites, the approach is direct: they ask you to take a survey about what you like, and then make offers that match your interests. Another way is through IP addresses, the electronic place from which you browse the Web./doc/5f12422983.html, and many other sites also compare individual's browsing and buying habits to those of thousands and millions of other consumers in their databases. Using a technique called collaborative filtering, they can find out your likely interests. This is based on what they know about what like-minded people buy or do.But this new use of Internet begins to trouble some computer users. They worry that advertisers can track their private information without their knowledge, and that files about them might be put to ill use somehow, or shared with wrong people. Sometimes they just don’t like being watche d. (236 words)Questions 19 To 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Which of the following do traditional shop managers NOT do to know theircustomers? (D)20. In the digital market, w hich of the following does the ―shop manager‖ NOT do?(D)21. How does Amazon. com know about its customers? (D)22. Which of the following troubles some computer users?(D)。

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they areto develop depression(忧郁症)as young adults. But the extent to which TV may or may not be to blame is a question that the study leaves unanswered.The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent health to investigate the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of 5.5 hours a day. More than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2002, more than 7 percent of the young people had signs ofdepression. The average age at that time was 21. Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study. He says every extra hour of television meant an 8 percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio. But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression, given the same amount of media use.Doctor Primack says the study did not explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility, he says, is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and socializing. It might also interfere with sleep, he says, andthat could have an influence.(17.5分)16.1 According to the passage, the researchers have found________________________.(3.5分)16.2 Which of the following is true about the findings of the research?(3.5分)16.3 The tone of this passage can be described as __________________.(3.5分)16.4 About the methodology of the research, the writer has mentioned all of the followingexcept that _______________.(3.5分)16.5 As used in paragraph 2, the word “adolescent” means ________________.(3.5分)参考答案:A解题思路:无17. Just as the degree of individual freedom in America seems loose and thereforeuncomfortable to many visitors, in many countries, people will tell you what they think you want to hear, whether or not it is true. To them, this is the polite thing to do. To Americans it is considered confusing — even dishonest — to avoid telling the truth, even if the only purpose is to be polite. It is helpful to remember that different culturesconsider some matters more important than others. For Americans, however, trust and truth are most important. One of the worst things that can be said about someone in America is that “you cannot trust him.”Considering such differences in values among many cultures of the world, it is natural that misunderstandings occur. “How far is it to the next town?” an American asks a man standing by the road. In some countries , because the man realizes the traveler is tired and eager to reach the next village, he will politely say, “Just down the road”. He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the answer the traveler wants to hear.So the American drives alone for many more hours before he comes to the village. The traveler is angry, with a feeling of being fooled. He thinks that the man has lied to him on purpose because he must have known quite well what the distance was.If a visitor to the United States asked an American standing by the road how far the next town was, the American would think it dishonest if he said it was near when he knew it was really 24 miles away. Although he, too, would be sympathetic with the tiredtraveler, he would say, “You have a long way to go yet; it is at least 24 miles more.” The traveler might be disappointed , but he would know what to expect, and there would be no misunderstanding.(17.5分)17.1 In paragraph 2, the misunderstanding occurs because ____________________.(3.5分)17.2 We can infer from paragraph 3 that ____________________.(3.5分)(D) the American knows what the traveler wants to hear参考答案:B解题思路:无17.3 People in other cultures choose not to tell the truth to the visitors because_______________.(3.5分)17.4 What is the writer’s attitude toward the different cultures? (3.5分)17.5 Americans insist on telling the truth because __________________.(3.5分)18. America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the UnitedStates were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social pos ition, marriage orhealth. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as stron g as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing.Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.(17.5分)18.1 The underlined word “one” refers to ______.(3.5分)18.2 We can infer from the text that if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a bigfirm, the writer would most probably consider it _________.(3.5分)18.3 This passage is mainly about ____________________.(3.5分)18.4 It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ____.(3.5分)参考答案:C解题思路:无18.5 “Act your age” means people should ________.(3.5分)19. When having a meal, a European usually holds the knife in the right hand, and the forkin the left. He uses the knife and fork with his both hands. He keeps his knife and fork in his hands until he finishes eating.But an American, on the opposite, may use just one hand whenever possible and keep the other hand on his lap. He uses the fork in his right hand to pickup fried potatoes.When he has to cut his meat, he changes his fork to the left hand and cuts it. Then he puts down the knife and changes his fork to his right hand to pick up the sliced meat.Then, perhaps, he will suddenly think of his coffee or orange. So he has to put down his fork in order to drink his coffee or orange. Now you can see, an American is busy all the time at the dinner table. By the way, Europeans usually have their coffee after meals, but many Americans prefer to have coffee during the meal.If you are present at a formal dinner, you might be confused to find so many forks, knives and spoons put before you. You might be at a loss to know what to do with them.Don’t worry. The rule is simple. You just use them in the order in which they lie,beginning from outside towards the plate. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad. The spoon on the outside on the right is for soup. There is another little knife, called a butter spreader, on a bread-and-butter plate on the left. As the bread is passed, each guest helps himself and puts his pieces on the small plate. Next to the soup there will probably be the blunt knife for fish, which is smaller and blunter than otherknives.(17.5分)19.1 When do Europeans usually drink their coffee?(3.5分)19.2 The right way to use the forks, knives and spoons is to use __________________.(3.5分)19.3 The butter spreader is ____________________. (3.5分)19.4 The spoon on the outside on the right is for _______________.(3.5分)19.5 The best title for this passage is ___________________.(3.5分)。

How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa, talkingWhat in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk aboutBetty shrugs. Talk We’re friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear. Women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(情感危机). “Most women,”says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives”.“In general,”writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part, Rubin says , interactions (交往) betweenmen are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,”Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to lea ve a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”6. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that B .A. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB. women have so much to shareC. women show little interest in ballgamesD. his wife is difficult to talk to7. Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a marri ed woman is more likelyto turn to B .A. a male friendB. a female friendC. her parentsD. her husband8. According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society DA. Ending his marriage without good reason.B. Spending too much time with his friends.C. Complaining about his marriage trouble.D. Going out to ballgames too often.9. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph AA. Men keep their innermost feeling to themselves.B. Women are more serious than men about marriage.C. Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D. Women depend on others in making decisions.10. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers on C .A. happy and successful marriageB. friendships of men and womenC. emotional problems in marriageD. interactions between men and womenPassage2There is no doubt that man is a member of the animal kingdom. Anyone who has thought about this fact seriously must have wondered how it has come about that man has achieved a position so supreme(最高的) among the myriad(无数的) kinds of animal life. Two characteristics of man, in comparison with all other animals, that stand out above all others are the creation and use of tools and the development and use of language. Since no other animals have achieved these abilities, it must be assumed that man’s evolutionary development led to his capacity to create and use tools and to devise and use language.Once these abilities and practices evolved, they probably became driving forces in the further evolution of man. Those members of the species who become most proficient(精通的) in the fabrication of tools and in the command of language and thought would tend to survive and maintain their kind for good, at the expense of those of lesser ability.11. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage AA. Tools and language are either the effects or the causes of human evolution.B. No other animals have achieved human abilities.C. Among the animals, only man is able to use tools and language.D. Man owns his capacity to making use of tools and language.12. “Animal kingdom” in the passage refers to C .A. the place where all animals liveB. the animal societyC. all kinds of animals, including manD. the forest with animals13. One important condition for man’s evolution is D .A. the animal kingdomB. a supreme positionC. the myriad kindsD. his natural capacity14. The phrase “come about” in the passage is likely to mean __C_____.A. happenedB. appearedC. arrivedD. succeeded15. The last sentence suggests that D .A. those of lesser ability would be very expensiveB. in order to survive, man has to sacrifice some other animalsC. those who become proficient in making tools can speak wellD. language and thought could be acquired by man第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)16.

Part 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(每小题:4 分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawingfantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!1.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cardsfocused on __C______.A. realityB. daily lifeC C. fantasyD. dragons2.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB B. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it3.Engelbreit's cards were successful because ________.A A. they were distinctive in styleB. they had a thank-you sentenceC. they had complicated detailsD. they were rich in color4. A couple of greeting card companies ________.A A. presented Engelbreit with contractsB. asked Engelbreit to make her cards more distinctiveC. wanted Engelbreit to use more meaningful quotationsD. thought her cards were to complicated5.According to Mary Engelbreit, the key to success is________.A. devotionB. opportunityC. good luckD D. imaginationQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂)started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.6.In the eyes of Fraser, a ____B______ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme7.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word "press" means____C____.A. publicationB. newspaperC. machineD. the act of pushing down8.The design of a buffalo was modified _____A___.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were "beyondunderstanding"C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the PhiladelphiaMintD. because the words were too high on the coin9.According to one collectors' magazine using a NativeAmerican and a buffalo was ___B_____.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea10.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson_____C___.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors' diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called "vitamins". Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catching colds.The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins.11.Which of the following happens because of scurvy?A. People become hungry.B. People lose blood.C. People become livid.D D. People feel pain in their gums.12.How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?A A. They took fresh fruit with them.B. They stopped in places to relax.C. They often found Indians to help.D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.13.Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?A. Vitamin A.B. Vitamin B.C C. Vitamin C.D. Vitamin D.14.What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.B. Diets like those taken by religious people.C. Certain important elements known by letters. DD. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.15.When should people take vitamins?A. When wanting to be healthy.B. When joining a religion.C C. When dieting to lose weight. D. When protecting against sickness.交卷!返回我的课程图例: RightWrong To be marked by instructor(To be shown in 5 days.)Total : 94正确率: 94%=> 就此结束考试,返回我的课程返回我的课程。

When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.(1)、Martin Luther King was murdered when he was 39 years old.A:TB:F答案:A(2)、Martin Luther King was a black minister only.A:TB:F答案:B(3)、Martin Luther King's Day has been a federal holiday for more than 40 years.A:TB:F答案:A(4)、The underlined word "delivered" in the second paragraph could be replaced by "gave".A:TB:F答案:A(5)、The best title for this passage is "Civil Rights Law".A:TB:F答案:B2、When having a meal, a European usually holds the knife in the right hand, and the fork in the left. He uses the knife and fork with his both hands. He keeps his knife and fork in his hands until he finishes eating.But an American, on the opposite, may use just one hand whenever possible and keep the other hand on his lap. He uses the fork in his right hand to pickup fried potatoes. When he has to cut his meat, he changes his fork to the left hand and cuts it. Then he puts down the knife and changes his fork to his right hand to pick up the sliced meat. Then, perhaps, he will suddenly think of his coffee or orange. So he has to put down his fork in order to drink his coffee or orange. Now you can see, an American is busy all the time at the dinner table. By the way, Europeans usually have their coffee after meals, but many Americans prefer to have coffee during the meal.If you are present at a formal dinner, you might be confused to find so many forks, knives and spoons put before you. You might be at a loss to know what to do with them. Don’t worry. The rule is simple. You just use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from outside towards the plate. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad. The spoon on the outside on the right is for soup. There is another little knife, called a butter spreader, on a bread-and-butter plate on the left. As the bread is passed, each guest helps himself and puts his pieces on the small plate. Next to the soup there will probably be the blunt knife for fish, which is smaller and blunter than other knives.1. When do Europeans usually drink their coffee?A. Before meals.B. After meals.C. While they are having their meals.D. They never drink coffee when they eat.答案:B2. The right way to use the forks, knives and spoons is to use __________________.A. whichever you like when necessaryB. them from the outside to the insideC. them from the inside to the outsideD. them from the middle to both sides答案:B3.The butter spreader is ____________________.A. a forkB. a spoonC. a knifeD. a plate答案:C4. The spoon on the outside on the right is for _______________.A. soupB. saladC. butterD. chicken答案:A5. The best title for this passage is ___________________.A. Eating Habits in America.B. Eating Habits in EuropeC. How to Use Forks, Knives and SpoonsD. Dinning Customs of the West答案:D3、Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.(1)、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.A:TB:F答案:A(2)、Families of the past, the present and the future are described in the passage.A:TB:F答案:A(3)、People no longer want to have children.A:TB:F答案:B(4)、Grandparents will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future.A:TB:F答案:B(5)、Large families cannot fit in with a highly industrialized society.A:TB:F答案:A4It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy.
