We feel that thereare many disadvantages in streaming (把---按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both bright and not-so-bright children. After all, it can be very discouraging to be at the bottomof the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellec tual ability. This is only one of their total personalities. We are concerned to develop the ability of all our pupils into the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills,and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work ingroups:this gives them opportunities to learn to co-operate, to share and to develop２leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think,to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupil learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individ ual tasks and assignment, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the libraries, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does no matter what age this child is. We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.1.In this passage the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching" is( C ).A.

These cars will float along never touching the ground, and therefore will have no need for wheels.Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans.The car without wheels has been called a "flying car", and, in a sense, that's just what it is;however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheelless vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly rough road and even over smooth water!The inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, and vehicle regulation.1.The author believes that cars of the future CA. will be replaced by airplanesB. will have wheels unlike those of todayC. will use columns of air instead of wheelsD.will use wheels without tires2.Which of the following is true concerning the new car?

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Wall Street is the name of a street in New York and very famous in the wholeworld. It is the financial center of the U.S.A, exerting a significant influenceupon the world ’ s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard （奇才） of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all hismoney. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 milliondollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually,she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean thatwhen her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor ’ s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital.Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his motherwould not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off theboy’ s leg in her sitting room. It ’ s incredible, isn ’ t it?31.Wall Street is _______.A.the name of Chinatown in New YorkB.the nickname of New YorkC.the financial center of AmericaD.32.Hetty Green was nicknamed the Wizard of Wall Street because she _______.A.made a great fortune with sharesB.inherited a large sum of money from her fatherC.built up a large company on sharesD.was very strange and cruel33.The underlined word“ mean” in the second paragraph probably can be replaced by______.A. sadB. cruelC. disappointedD. ungenerous34.When her son broke his leg, Hetty Green _______.A.sent him to a large hospitalB.sent for a doctor at onceC.didn ’ t pay the bill for the doctorD.took him to a charity hospital35.Which of the following is true according to the passage?B. Hetty Green preferred money to anything else.C. Hetty Green liked to earn a lot of money so as to live a good life.D. Hetty Green hated her son and refused to take him to a good hospital.Passage 2People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across thesurface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals ” — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet ’ s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known todevelop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted byspacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculationcontinued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite （陨石） , consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than threebillion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent lifeon Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37.The “canals ” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface38.What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. Howis the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars? A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of lifeon Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particularcolors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easilycatch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of thecolor of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe,locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests withdifferent colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies.So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the mainuse of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because theyhave the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seascan send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41.This passage mainly talks about ______.A.the change of color in locustsB.the protective coloration of animals and pestsC.how a certain sea fish protects itselfD.animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42.Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.A.they are powerful enoughB.they are dangerous to their enemiesC.they take on the same colors as cropsD.they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’ s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44.Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A.they fear other beastsB.they prefer brown or grey colorsC.they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD.the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’ t cut it.They are lazy ， and perhaps not two bright ． So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“ The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident thatthey could have graduated from high school. ” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half ofAfrican-American and Hispanic （美籍西班牙的） student will receive a diploma ， and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So ， if failing grades don ’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again ， John Bridgeland: “ The most dependable finding was that they were bored. ” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren ’t inspired or motivated. They didn ’ t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their careeraspirations. ”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state ，New Mexico ， has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high schooluntil they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions,another researcher ， says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way tokeep more kids in school.“ As these dropouts look back ， they realize they ’ ve made a mistake. And anythingthat sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure. ”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies tostay in school misses the point － the need for reform. It's been called for to reinventhigh school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46. Most high school students drop out of school because ＿＿．A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent47. According to the passage ， which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia48. The underlined words“stick it out” probably means“＿＿” .A. complete schoolingB. solve the problemC. love having classesD. believe in themselves49.In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_________.A.analyze the reason why students quit schoolB.suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC.raise awareness of reforming high school educationD.wish to make laws to guarantee no education50. From the passage，we can infer the following EXCEPT that＿．A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB. on average dropouts cannot get good jobsC. classes don't appeal to dropoutsD. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishPassage 5People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem.In 1993，the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the softlimestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying theproblem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion （侵害） of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts havestudied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people ， forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases ， this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make thewaves and currents go further along the coast，shifting the problem from one areato another. The danger is likely to continue，they say，until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile ， if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future，apply to a house agent in oneof the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for aknockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The rising of the sea level.B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D. The disappearance of hotels，houses and gardens.52. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England.A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. can bestopped if proper measures are taken D. is quickly changing themap of England53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can.A. warn people whose homes are in dangerB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. lead to its eventual solution54.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because________.A.house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB.it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC.the government is too slow in taking actionD.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55. According to the author ， when buying a house along the south coast of England ，people should ________________.A. take the quality of the house into considerationB. guard against being cheated by the house agentC. examine the house carefully before making a decisionD. be aware of the potential danger involvedPassage 6Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards adegree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists ofthirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student willprobably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for astudent to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. Allthis imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this somestudents still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work ofmaintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academicauthorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, bycheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A studentwho has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it willbe of benefit to him later in his career.56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ________.A.to live in a different universityB.to get two degrees from two different universitiesC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to take a particular course in a different university58. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.A. they hate the constant pressure strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid60.The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.Vocabulary and Structure 61.I prefer to read ______ idle.A. to sitB. to sittingC. than to sitD. rather than sit62.

大学英语（1）期末考试复习资料模拟题
大学英语（1）期末考试复习资料模拟题大学英语（1）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：（ 1 ）There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.1. Our long-term goals mean a lot ___B____.A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. if we complete the short-term goalsC. if we have dreams of the futureD. if we put forward some plans2. New short-term goals are built upon___D___.A. a daily basisB. your achievement in a weekC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed3. When we complete each step of our goals, ____C____.A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we will build up our confidence to achieve successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals4. What is the main idea of this passage? ___C____A. Life is a dynamic thing.B. We should set up long-term goals.C. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ___C____A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.D. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.( 2 )The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owesme ￡12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “ I re member your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe ￡1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.6.

Everyone likes a person with good manners but no one likes a person with bad manners. "Yes", you may say , " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"People all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially to those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel, either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn.He does not push to the front of the queue. In the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into someone, or gets in their way, he says, "excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "please" when making a request, and "thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He does not talk too much himself. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food. He uses a handkerchief when he sneezes or coughs.1、Which of the following is considered as being well-mannered? -- ______（C：Helping older people ）2、If you try to be kind and helpful to others, you ______. （C：will be considered very polite ）3、When waiting for a bus, a well-mannered person should ______.（D：stand where he is and wait for his turn ）4、According to this passage, a polite person ______.（A：will not break into other's conversation ）5、The word "accidentally" (Line 5, Para. 4) means _____. （B：by accident ）Passage 2Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.6. What's the meaning for the word 'parchment'? ______（B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals. ）7. Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper? ______（A. More jobs could be provided than before. ）8. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? ______ （A. Around 1400. ）9. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year? ______（B. Sweden. ）10. What is the main idea of this short talk? ______（C. The invention of paper is of great significance to man ）Passage 3Long, long ago there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63.To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3.The space between six and three was there to mean." not any " tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and read.Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3.But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3.Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways of using zero?11.

So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books tell you how you can do thing yourself.16. We can learn from the text that many newly married people____.（A. find it hard to pay for what they need )17. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ____. （B. make or repair things ）18. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at hom, he means Jim____.（D. keeps house and looks after his children ）19.Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when____.（A. his car repairs cost too much ）20. What would be the best title for the text?-- ____. （B. You can Do It Too! ）Passage 5Tom is a little boy, and he is only seven years old. One day he went to the cinema. It is the first time for him to do that. He bought a ticket and then went in. But after two or three minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again. After a few minutes he came out again and bought a third ticket. Two or three minutes later he came out and asked for another ticket. Then the girl in the ticket office asked him, "Why do you buy so many tickets? How many friends do you meet?" Tom answered," No, I have no friend here. But a big boy always stops me at the door and tears（撕）my ticket to pieces."21. Tom wanted to buy ______ when the girl asked him. （C. the fourth ticket ）22. The big boy stopped Tom at the door because ______. （A. it was the big boy's job ）23. The big boy was ______ at the cinema. （D. a worker ）24. From the story we know ______. （B. the little boy knew nothing about the cinema ）25. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?-- ____.（C. Tom was too young to make friends. ）Passage 6In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.26.What is the main idea of this passage? ______（B. The role of time in social life over the world. ）27.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?______ （B. A matter of life or death. ）28. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?-- ____. （B. at 4:00 pm. ）29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ______（D. Promptness is valued highly in American life. ）30. From the passage we can safely infer that ______.（B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world ）第三部分：词汇与结构1、- Write to me when you get home.- OK, I ____.

Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home bef ore, but for some it’s the 2)very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump fr om high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.二单元People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this?A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4) available.This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audiencequestion-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were alreadypopular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately, they do,” said one of the festiva l founders.三单元Some parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US history since 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.四单元Humans’ first means of tr ansportation were walking and swimming. 1) Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2) enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3) vehicles. Also, water transportation 4) dates back to very early times and it was the best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution. 5) As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6) thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7) capacity increased rapidly.With the development of cars at the 8) turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after World War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9) automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.Now, 10) thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.五单元Most people like to keep a healthy diet during the holiday season starting from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year. There are many social events to 1) celebrate and we love to look our best. We also need healthy food to 2) provide us with the energy necessary to go to all of these parties with enthusiasm.But the unfortunate reality is that many of us have a hard time 3) sticking to healthy eating habits during the holidays. We face more 4) challenges at this time than we do during the rest of the year. Starting from Thanksgiving, many of us are already 5) anticipating gaining some weight. The holiday season is when we bring out abundant and delicious food. Turkey, ham, cakes and other great foods attract us to eat larger 6) portions than we need. Many of us are more likely than usual to 7) stuff ourselves, and not always with the healthiest food. Moreover, the holiday season is a busy, and often stressful, time of year. We are rushing too much, spending too much, and letting stress 8) take hold of us too often. This can lead to emotional eating, that is, eating too much or too little.Luckily, there are some 9) effective ways to fight holiday eating problems. Learn about the causes of and solutions for emotional eating. Eat some healthy food before you go to a party so that you won’t eat too much there. Exercise after the party is over. All these 10) strategies can help you curb holiday eating without reducing your holiday joy.六单元There are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3) compromise good health. Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems too. Drinking coffee or 4) alcohol in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing othermentally 5) intense activities right before or after getting into bed can interrupt sleep.Traveling also 6) interferes with sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7) undermine your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep. Environmental factors such as a room that’s too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can be an obstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8) pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9) suffers from other sleeping difficulties, it often becomes your problem too!Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working round the clock to be 10) competitive, so some people have to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night. All these make sleeping at regular times difficult.七单元Anna was awarded a special day out for herself and her family after taking part in a competition run by a magazine in April, beating over 2,000 people who 1) participated in the event.Anna’s wild day out will include a special tour of the city’s nature park, with exclusive 2) access to areas of the site that are not usually available to the public. During her visit, Anna is likely to see some natural wonders including rare birds feeding their young and a 3) tremendous number of newly hatched chicks. Anna may also see a great flamingo 4) currently nesting at the nature park after it escaped from the zoo last year.The most 5) incredible thing is that Mike Dilger, a well-known wildlife reporter for BBC, will 6) accompany the family throughout the day. Mike is an experienced biologist, so he is ready to share his experiences and knowledge of the natural world every step of the way.Henry, manager of the nature park, says, “Visiting a nature park is a 7) remarkable way to learn more about types of wildlife that you just can’t see in your daily life. It’s an 8) amazing time of year for a visit –the hatching season is well underway, so there are lots of chicks hatching across the park, and as parents take regular trips to find food for their young, there is a very good chance of 9) catching a glimpse of some of our very rare birds. Anna will have a great day; we are really 10) looking forward to her visit.”阅读部分(词汇+阅读)Reading Comprehension (50 points，词汇20分，仔细阅读30分)一单元1.It was quite an attractive room with its own little balcony overlooking(over look)the garden.这是一个非常吸引人的房间，有自己的小阳台可以俯瞰花园。

I live in Berlin, but I was born in the south of Italy. We moved here from Italy when I was 14 because of my father’s work. I’m half German, half Italian. I started working in the family business a few years ago – we have a jeweller’s shop. I work in the shop every afternoon except Sundays, but it’s a bit boring. The city is OK but I never have time to enjoy it – everything is so hectic. I often miss Italy.RashidMy name’s Rashid. I’m 24 and I live in London. I’m Ind ian, but I was born here in the UK. My parents came here from Bombay (we call it Mumbai now) at the end of the 1960s. London’s a great place to be for me because Istudy architecture and there are lots of interesting buildings around. Every day I see somet hing new. I don’t want to live anywhere else.LindaMy name’s Linda. I’m 25 and live in a small town outside Vancouver. My mother is Spanish and my father comes from Lagos in Nigeria. We speak English, French and Spanish at home. I work as a teacher in th e local school. It’s a great job but very tiring because I get up very early every morning. Before, I worked as a secretary –I didn’t like it at all! I really like the town I live in, although it’s very cold in winter. Cities like Vancouver are just too b ig for me.1 Everybody’s parents have different nationalities.2 Everybody likes cities.3 Linda likes her job.4 Carolina is the most positive about her city.5 Rashid was born in Bombay.Key: FFTFF2.From: U3L3 P42Rat race rebelsMost of us are trapped in a nine-to-five office routine and many of us would like to escape. We interviewed three people who have said “No!” to this rat race…FionaAfter university, I was on the dole for a few months. I didn’t have any money, so I was really pleased to get an office job… but it was very boring! I gave it up and went to do voluntary work for the VSO – V oluntary Service Overseas – in Rwanda. I teach old people and children to read and write. It’s not the most comfortable of jobs but it’s great to be doing something of real use for once.AndyI used to be a freelance news journalist. It was very stressful and I had to travel a lot. I applied for loads of other jobs with no success, so I started to think about my real interest –football! Now, I work from home and write football articles for press agencies around the world. It’s a full-time job but I have much more free time. I’m my own boss and I can get up when I want!EmmaI used to be a teacher and I worked 40 hours a week. Then, I saw the movie American Beauty and thought I could change my life too! I did a course in acupuncture and shiatsu massage. I took four years to get qualified but now I have set up my own business. Shiatsu is very popular these days because people are so stressed and you can earn quite good money.1 Fiona didn’t have a job for a while.2 Andy has turned an interest into a profession.3 Fiona has her own company.4 Fiona feels she is doing something useful.5 Andy was influenced by a film that he saw.Key: TTFTF3.From: U6L2 P71Your Weekend in Lisbon with Sunshine ToursCongratulations on booking your holiday with Sunshine Tours!!Here’s your travel itinerary for the long weekend. THURSDAY 18th JuneA Sunshine Tours rep will meet you at Lisbon airport and a coach will take you to your hotel.FRIDAY 19th JuneIn the morning，we will take one of the city’s famous yellow trams up to the Castelo de São Jorge, with fabulous views over the city. The afternoon is free for you to explore the Baixa district with its interesting shops and cafés. In the evening, we will go to the Bairro Alto area for dinner and to hear the wonderfully melancholy fado music. SATURDAY 20th JuneA day of contrasts. In the morning, a trip to the oldest neighbourhood, Alfama. Its little cobbled streets arecharming but it is also one of the poorest parts of the city. We will have lunch in the central Praça do Comércio and then take the metro to the modern Parque das Nações — the site of the Expo, which has some stunning architecture. In the evening, you are free to enjoy whatever part of the city you wish.SUNDAY 21st JuneA coach will take us out of the city to visit Sintra, summer residence of the kings of Portugal. Here, we will see the breathtaking Palácio Nacional and walk around Sintra’s beautiful woods and parks. On our way back, we will stop at Cascais, just half an hour from the capital.

Our return flight leaves early on Monday morning.1 There is nothing organized on the Friday afternoon.2 On Saturday afternoon, you will visit an old part of the city.3 Cascais is popular with Portuguese people.4 You will spend Sunday evening outside Lisbon.5 You are going to return on Sunday night.Key: TFTTF4.From: U6L2 P85ChocoholicsEverybody loves chocolate. A cup of cocoa before going to bed or a Mars bar on the bus – the British are obsessed with it. The average Briton eats 10kg of chocolate a year. Women eat far more chocolate than men, an amazing 67% of total chocolate consumption. And the most popular snack is KitKat – fifty are eaten every second in the UK.Chocoholics are people with a chocolate obsession. But are they addicts? Not according to recent research. This shows that chocolate is not as addictive as coffee – in fact，there is no proof that chocolate creates addiction at all. And it’s a lot better for you than we thought. Some scientists say that it releases the same chemicals that your body produces when you are in love. Now that can’t be a bad thing!Some more good news –it doesn’t raise your cholesterol level or give you acne, as people believe, and it can even be good for your teeth! It does, however, contain caffeine and is bad if you get headaches. So the least sensible time to eat it is at night.The British lo ve chocolate but they are not as obsessed as the Swiss. The Swiss are officially the world’ greatest chocolate eaters – but then Swiss chocolate is the best!1Women buy less chocolate than men.2There is evidence that chocolate is addictive.3Chocolate contains caffeine.4You should avoid chocolate if you suffer from migraines.5The world’s greatest chocolate eaters are the British.Key: FFTTF5.From: U8L3 P121Found Safe and SoundThe monkey who escaped from Bristol Zoo last weekend was discovered by school children yesterday.

Lucy loves new technology. She owns a games console, an MP3 player, and a mobile phone with a built-in digital camera. David is a teacher. Lucy is his student.Like Lucy, many children grow up using computers almost every day and often know more about technology than adults. Educator Marc Prensky calls children like Lucy “digital natives”. Digital natives can quickly learn how to use new gadgets and new software, while non-digital natives spend a lot of time reading manuals and worrying about computer viruses. In fact, many parents try to save time by asking their children to teach them how to use new technology!The divide between digital natives and non-digital natives can cause problems at school because students and teachers grow up with very different ideas about technology. Many teachers think that playing computer games is a waste of time and that technology has made children unable to concentrate. However, many students think their classes are slow and boring, and want to use computers to study.Prensky believes that digital natives have learned a lot from technology, but that they learn things in a different way. For example, reading a website is different from reading a book, so digital natives are good at finding the information they need and choosing what they want to read. So perhaps teachers need to change the way they teach and use more technology in class – because the number of digital natives will keep increasing!1 David is a digital native.2 Marc Prensky is interested in teaching with technology.3 Digital natives are comfortable using laptops and flash drives.4 Many teachers think computer games are only for having fun or killing time.5 People read books and websites in the same way.Key: FTTTF7.From: U10L2 P153SpanglishIn which city can you read signs like “Aparca your car aquí” or “Cuidado con los pickpockets”? Travelguide investigates.1.2 million Hispanics live in the Big Apple and one in five New Yorkers speaks Spanish at home. In the last ten years, the Hispanic population has grown by 400 000. This reflects the enormous increase in the Hispanic population in the States. There are now 42 million Hispanics resident in the USA, representing 15% of the total population.There is a new language, SPANGLISH – a strange mixture of Spanish and English – which is invading the city. The New York Times recently said that it had become the city’s third official language. Its use is colloquial and often limited to short sentences and signs. Many New Yorkers now wear socketines on their feet, drop something on the carpeta, shop for grocerias and have cornfley(“cornflakes”) for breakfast.Norma Rodríguez, a 45-year-old Cuban living in Washington Heights, says it forms a part of her life now: “Sometimes, you don’t realize that you’re mixing the two languages. You just hear them both all the time and find that you’re inventing new words.” Other people, however, are fighting against this new street language. Bu sinessman Juan Cortés sees it as a sign that the Spanish language is being destroyed. “It’s difficult, but I try not to speak it –it feels vulgar to me.”Meanwhile, a surprising number of academics have spoken in favour of Spanglish.

is a critically important skill for all flying animals.Whereas terrestrial animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling, flying animals move at much higher speeds, and they must be careful about how they land.Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous.Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely.Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds.This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in graphic detail how bats move their wings.In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight.Bats are built differently from birds, and their wings incorporate both their front and hind limbs.This makes coordinating their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances.However, they are much better at maneuverability: a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do.Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats land—upside down! Unlike birds, which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead.How do they do it? A group of researchers recently used video cameras to film bats landing on nets suspended from the ceiling of their laboratory and studied the recordings in slow motion.They painted spots on the bats’wings to see in detail what happens to the wings in flight and during touchdown.It turns out that the bats flew in a straight line up to the net and then quickly flipped over and attached themselves to it upside down.One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often slam into their landingspot with some force, which probably causes pain.However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes its home.For example, a cave bat, which regularly perches on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops.11.What is the main topic of the passage?A Places where flying animals choose to landB Why scientists have difficulty observing batsC Differences in the eating habits of bats and birdsD Ways in which bats move differently from birds12.In the 1nd paragraph, the word terrestrial is closest in meaning to _______.A high-flyingB fast-movingC tree-climbingD ground-living13.According to the passage, what skill is crucial for flying animals?A Diving underwaterB Slowing down to landC Flying over great distancesD Balancing on high branches14.Which of the following is a false assumption about bats that was recently corrected?A They cannot hear.B They sleep upside down.C They fly similarly to birds.D They hide in tree branches.15.In the 2nd paragraph, the word incorporate is closest in meaning to _______.A addB deliverC includeD discoverDDBCC。

十五选十&口语2.One advantage Albert Einstein’s developing mind enjoyed was the opportunity to communicate with adults in an intellectual way. His uncle, an engineer, would come to the house, and Albert would join in the discussions.His thinking was also stimulated by a medical student who came over once a week for dinner and lively chats.阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦的思维发展得益于他有机会与成人进行智力交流。
他的叔叔是工程师，经常到爱因斯坦家里来，于是爱因斯坦就有机会参与他们的讨论。
爱因斯坦的思想还受到一位医科学生的启迪。
此人每星期都来爱因斯坦家一次，与爱因斯坦一家共进晚餐，一起谈天说地。
At age 12, Albert Einstein came upon a set of ideas that impressed him as “holy.” It was a little book on Euclidean plane1 geometry. The concept that one could prove theorems of angles and lines that were in no way obvious made an “indescribable impression” on the young student. He adopted mathematics as the tool he would use to pursue his curiosity and prove what he would discover about the behavior of the universe.爱因斯坦12岁的时候发现了一系列他认为是“神圣”的观念。
那是一本有关欧几里得平面几何的小册子。
原来人可以证明那些不易明显看出的角度和线段的定理。
这个想法给年轻学生爱因斯坦留下了“难以形容的印象”。
他把数学当做满足自己好奇心并用以证明他后来发现宇宙运行规律的手段。
He was convinced that beauty lies in the simplistic. Perhaps this insight was the real power of his genius.Albert Einstein looked for the beauty of simplicity in the apparently complex nature and saw truths that escapedothers. While the expression of his mathematics might be accessible to only a few sharp minds in the science,Albert could condense the essence of his thoughts so anyone could understand.他坚信美丽寓于简朴。
或许这个悟性才是激发他天分的真正力量所在。
阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦在表象复杂的大自然中寻求简朴的美，并发现别人看不到的真理。
爱因斯坦用数学公式表达的思想也许只有少数才思敏锐的科学家才能理解，但他却能简洁地阐明自己思想之精髓，使人人都能够理解。
6.She knows every nook and cranny in and around Cairo — no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques — many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, huge apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city. 她熟知开罗的每一个角落——这并非一日之功。
开罗的大街小巷、居民区、集市所构成的复杂体系，宛如古代说书人编造的迷宫。
数百座清真寺——其中许多是伊斯兰建筑的精华，房子紧紧挤在一起的老街区，郊外巨大的公寓楼群，静静流淌的尼罗河穿城而过——所有这些组成了这座过于拥挤的城市。
With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule. Every morning punctually at nine o’clock,I can depend on seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she sees me coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she does n’t waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have grown on a bed of economy, on the necessity to get as much done as she possibly can. 娜格特熟谙人情，略带幽默。
她全权负责我的观光日程安排。
每天早上9点，我肯定能看见她矮壮的身影准时出现在旅馆大厅外。
每当她瞥见我走下楼梯，她圆圆的脸上马上会绽放出灿烂的笑容。
几乎每天她都穿着一件土黄色的带风帽的斗篷。
她动作利索，从不浪费时间。
她做事果断，似乎是由于经济条件所迫而养成的习惯，不得不尽可能地多做些事情。
7.I grew up in a small, rural town in Pennsylvania. It’s one of those places where everyone knows your name, what you did, what you ate and so on. I was a straight-A student and one of the popular kids, liked by all the different crowds. Drugs never played a part in my life. They were never a question — I was too involved and focused on other things. 我是在宾夕法尼亚的一个乡间小镇长大的。
在那个地方，你叫什么名字，你是干什么的，你吃的是什么，以及诸如此类的事儿别人都了如指掌。
那时，我是一个门门皆优的好学生，是受大家欢迎的一个乖孩子，人人都喜欢我。
毒品与我的生活根本不沾边，我也从来没去想过——我别的事情还忙不过来呢。
I always dreamed of moving to New York City to study acting and pursuea career in theater. My dream came true when my mom brought me to the city to attend acting school. As you can imagine, it was quite a change from home. 我一直梦想到纽约市去学表演，然后从事舞台演出。
后来，我妈带我到那座城市去上表演艺术学校，实现了我的梦想。
你能想象得到，这与家里相比可是大不一样。
I was exposed to new people, new ideas and a completely new way of life — a way of life that exposed me to drugs. Most of the people that I met in the acting school had already been doing drugs for years. I felt that by using drugs, I would become a part of their world and it would deepen my friendships with them to new levels. I tried pot, even a little cocaine, but it was Ecstasy that changed my life forever. 我接触到了许多新朋友、新观念，接触到了一种全新的生活方式——这种生活方式也使我开始接触到了毒品。
我在艺术学校遇到的那些人多数都已经有多年的吸毒经历。
当时我觉得通过吸毒我可以真正融入他们那个世界，可以加深我与他们的友情。
我试过大麻，甚至还试过一点可卡因，不过，永远改变了我的生活的是摇头丸。
1.I have a log cabin in those woods of Northern Wisconsin. I built it by hand and also added a greenhouse to the front of it. It is a joy tolive in. In fact, I work out of my home doing audio production and environmental work. As a tool of that trade I have a computer and a studio.I also have a tree frog that has taken up residence in my studio.How odd, I thought, last November when I first noticed him sitting atop my sound-board over my computer.I figured that he(and I say he,though I really don’t have a clue if she is a he or vice versa) would be more comfortable in the greenhouse. So I put him in the greenhouse. Back he came. And stayed. After a while I got quite used to the fact that as I would check my morning email and online news, he would be there with me surveying the world.Then, last week, as he was climbing around looking like a small gray / green human, I started to wonder about him.翻译1.记者敦促发言人就此次军事打击作出解释。
