Part III Reading Comprehension (30%)

Section A

Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

You should decide on the best choice. (2×10=20 points)

Passage One

Just a few weeks ago, Lizzie and her kids went off to dinner at some friends’ house, and when they got there, the friends were not home, there was no dinner cooking, and they knew with a dreadful certainty that there had been a horrible miscommunication somehow.

They were perfectly willing to slip quietly away, except for one thing: Lizzie’s husband was supposed to meet them there.

The problem now became: If they waited for him, no doubt the hosts would come home, and they’d feel so bad about the misunderstanding that they’d insist on making dinner and go to lots of trouble and then Lizzie would feel awful, etc., etc. But if they didn’t wait…then he’d show up and not know that this was the wrong night.

Well, they couldn’t decide what to do. They couldn’t just stay there and they couldn’t park elsewhere on the street to wait for the husband because no doubt the hosts would come along, spot their car, and then they’d really have a lot of explaining to do. (They couldn’t call him on the cell phone, because cell phones hadn’t been invented yet.)

So Lizzie and her kids did the only possible thing: They drove a while to a place where they were sure her husband would pass, and they waited for him there, to flag him down and explain the situation.

Only it was so dark they couldn’t really spot his car. The oldest son had to flag down each

SFLEP New CenturyCollege English Achievement Test (Band One) 7

passing car―in the freezing cold―to make sure it wasn’t his father’s.

After about 10 cars there was finally a lull. The son got back in the car, looked over at Lizzie, sighed, and said, “Well. At least we’ve got our health.”

71. What was wrong with Lizzie’s dinner in vitation?

A) Lizzie’s family arrived too early for the dinner.

B) Lizzie’s friends were not home at the moment.

C) Lizzie and her friends didn’t communicate well.

D) The hosts did not prepare enough food for the guests.

72. Why couldn’t they just go ho me and forget about the dinner?

A) Because the friends had already seen their car.

B) Because they had to do a lot of explaining to the hosts.

C) Because Lizzie’s husband was to come to meet them there.

D) Because the hosts would feel very bad about their own mistakes.

73. What did Lizzie decide to do?

A) They stayed there and waited.

B) They tried to stop the husband on the way.

C) They went to have dinner in a restaurant.

D) They explained to their friends that they had to go.

74. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the difficulty in finding the husband?

A) It was cold.

B) It was dark.

C) They didn’t know when the husband would come.

D) They didn’t know where the husband would pass.

75. What does the passage intend to tell the reader?

A) It’s not easy at all to go to a dinner invitation.

B) People may get into trouble with their friends.

C) It’s not a good idea to find the husband by stopping every car.

D) Invitations can become troubles because of misunderstanding.

Passage Two

Student employment is a major cause of educational decline.

When I was in high school in the 1950s, students seldom held jobs. Some of us baby-sat, shoveled snow, mowed lawns, and delivered papers, and some of us got jobs in department stores around Christmas. But most of us had no regular source of income other than the generosity of our parents. The only kids who worked regularly were poor. They worked to help their families. If I remember correctly, only about five people in my class of 170 held jobs. That was in a working-class town in New England. As for the rest of us, our parents believed that going to school and helping around the house were our work.

In contrast, in 1986 my daughter was one of the few students among juniors and seniors who didn’t work. Sociologists Ellen Greenberger and Laurence Steinberg in “When Teenagers Work”

8

外教社?新世纪大学英语系列教材1级学业测试came up with estimates of more than 70 percent working in 1986, though I suspect that the figure may be even higher now.

I attended a public high school while my daughter attended a school whose students are mainly middle class. By the standards of my day, her classmates did not “have to” work. Yet many of them were working 20 to 30 hours a week. Why?

They worked so that they could spend $60 to $100 a week on designer jeans, rock concerts, stereo and video systems, and of course, cars. They were living lives of luxury, buying items on which their parents refused to throw hard-earned money away. Though the parents would not buy such tripe for their kids, the parents somehow convinced themselves that the kids were learning the value of money. Yet, according to Ms. Greenberger and Mr. Steinberg, only about a quarter of these students saved money for college or other long-term goals.

How students spend their money is their business, not mine. But as a teacher, I have witnessed the effects of their employment. I know that students who work all evening aren’t ready for studying when they get home from work. Moreover, because they work so hard and have ready cash, they feel that they deserve to have fun—instead of spending all their free time studying.

Thus, by the time they get to college, most students look upon studies as a spare-time activity. Clearly individual students will pay the price for lack of adequate time studying, but the problem goes beyond the individual. It extends to schools and colleges that are finding it difficult to demand quantity or quality of work from students.

Perhaps the reason American education has declined so markedly is because America has raised a generation of part-time students. And perhaps our economy will continue to decline as full-time students from Japan and Europe continue to outperform our part-time students.

76. How did most students in the author’s times get their pocket money?

A) They worked in department stores.

B) They helped take care of little kids.

C) Their parents simply gave them the money.

D) Their parents asked them to do some housework.

77. How many students does the author believe are working regularly now?

A) 40% B) 60% C) 70% D) above 70%

78. Which of the following statements is true about the passage?

A) Parents in 1950s did not encourage their children to hold regular jobs.

B) Students in 1980s did need to work long hours to help their families.

C) Full-time students in 1980s studied better than part-time students in 1950s.

D) Parents in 1980s believed that working gave students more social experience.

79. According to the author, why do students work a lot?

A) Because most of them want to buy luxuries to live a rich life.

B) Because many of them need to earn money to help pay the family bills.

C) Because many of them want to save money for college tuition.

D) Because most of them believe working helps them learn the value of money.

80. All of the following statements BUT ______ are the reasons for students’ undesirable

SFLEP New CenturyCollege English Achievement Test (Band One) 9

performance at school.

A) Students usually feel not ready to study after their evening work.

B) Students often think they deserve more fun than study after work.

C) Schools find that working students don’t have enough time for study.

D) Schools and colleges demand less schoolwork from their students.

Section B

Directions: In this section there is a passage with five underlined parts. Translate the parts into Chinese. (5×2=10 points)

Passage Three

Before long a bonfire was built, and around it we mingled—British khaki and German grey….

Even those who could not converse could still exchange gifts—our cigarettes for their cigars, our tea for their coffee, our corned beef for their sausage. Badges and buttons from uniforms changed owners, and one of our lads walked off with the infamous spiked helmet! I myself traded a jackknife for a leather equipment belt—a fine souvenir to show when I get home.

(81) Newspapers too changed hands, and the Germans howled with laughter at ours. They assured us that France was finished and Russia nearly beaten too. We told them that was nonsense, and one of them said, “Well, you believe your newspapers and we’ll believe ours.”

Clearly they are lied to—yet after meeting these men, I wonder how truthful our own newspapers have been. These are not the “savage barbarians” we’ve read so much about. They are men with homes and families, hopes and fears, principles and, yes, love of country. (82) In other words, men like ourselves. Why are we led to believe otherwise?

As it grew late, a few more songs were traded around the fire, and then all joined in for—I am not lying to you—“Auld Lang Syne.” (83) Then we parted with promises to meet again tomorrow, and even some talk of a football match.

I was starting back to the trenches when an older German clutched my arm. “My God,” he said, “why cannot we have peace and all go home?”

I told him gently, “That you must ask your emperor.”

He looked at me then, searchingly. “Perhaps, my friend. But also we must ask our hearts.”

And so, dear sister, tell me, has there ever been such a Christmas Eve in all history? And what does it all mean, this impossible befriending of enemies?

For the fighting here, of course, it means regrettably little. (84)Decent fellows those soldiers may be, but they follow orders and we do the same. Besides, we are here to stop their army and send it home, and never could we shirk that duty.

Still, one cannot help imagine what would happen if the spirit shown here was caught by the nations of the world. (85)Of course, disputes must always arise. But what if our leaders were to offer well wishes in place of warnings? Songs in place of slurs? Presents in place of reprisals? Would not all war end at once?

10

外教社?新世纪大学英语系列教材1级学业测试All nations say they want peace. Yet on this Christmas morning, I wonder if we want it quite enough.

Study time is never compromised for phone calls, television programs or snacks. In other words, it is always placed above re_______(87). In addition, top students make it a po______(88) to study anywhere or everywhere. A top student who is also a top athlete memorizes biology terms as he works ou______ (89) every day. Another student learns a new word every morning while brushing his teeth. Among all the students interviewed, every one agreed that study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some th______(90)at night when all is silent. Others prefer to study as soon as they come home from school when the lessons are fr______(91) in their minds. However, all agreed that consistency is a main factor if one is to perform well at all times.

A student must also learn to be organized. For example, a top student who is actively in_______(92) in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their proper places because he simply cannot afford time-wasting searches. Another student immediately fi______(93) the day’s notes in color-coded folders so that they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique ad_______(94) by top students is to read effectively.

Passage Two

Over the years, we’d watched the pine trees in this park grow tall and straight until their needles seemed to touch the clouds. Each year of their growth seemed to ma_______(96) our increasingly close relationship and the deepening love we had for each other.

On this particular sunny afternoon, Mother and I sat quietly breathing in the sc_______(97) of freshly mown grass. She was unusually solemn and took me by su________(98) when she asked me,“Who will you bring here after I’m gone?”

I gave her one of my arched-eyebrow in________(99),then smiled. After a few moments, when she didn’t return my smile, I began to wonder what made her ask such a di_________(100) question. Mother picked up a bl_______(101)of grass and began to shred it wit h her fingernail. I’d become well ac_________(102) with my mother’s habits, and this particular one indicated she had something serious on her mind.

For several minutes, we sat in silence gathering our thoughts. A couple of blue birds squawked nearby and a n airplane flew overhead, but they didn’t ea______(103) the awkward moment between us. Finally, I reached ov______(104) and took my mother’s hand in mine. “There’s nothing you can’t tell me, Mother,” I said. “We will ha_______(105) this together, like we a lways have.”

新世纪大学英语第三册原文每段翻译U UNIT 6:Culture Shock |文化冲击| Kalervo Oberg We might almost call culture shock an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most ailments it has its own cause, symptoms, and cure. 1 我们不妨把文化冲击称为突然置身国外的人们所得的职业病。和大部分疾病一样,这种病有其独特的起因、症状和疗法。 Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situations of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to give orders to servants, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues. 2 文化冲击是因为我们失去熟悉的社会交往标记和符号而产生的焦虑所促成。这些标志或暗示包括我们应付日常生活各种情境时使用的诸多方式方法:与人会面时何时握手、该说些什么;在什么时间、以什么方式付小费;如何吩咐佣人;怎样购物;何时该接受、何时该拒绝他人的邀请;别人说的话,何时该当真,何时不该当真。这些暗示可以是语言、手势、面部表情、风俗习惯或社会行为标准。我们在成长的过程中获得了这些暗示,就像我们的语言和我们所接受的信仰一样,它们已经成为我们文化的一部分。我们所有的人都依赖成百上千个这样的暗示才能拥有宁静的心境,过上高效率的生活。 Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded you may be, a series of props have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort: a€?The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.a€? When Americans or other foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people a€”you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Another phase of

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译

陌生人的善意 1. 一年夏天,我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。在沙漠深处,我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。他一只手打出拇指向外的手势,另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。我直接从他身边开过去了。别人会停下来的,我想。再说,那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。在这个国家,曾有那么一段时间,你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理,大家会认为你是混蛋,而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯,为什么要冒险呢?“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。 2. 开过了几个州以后,我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。让我不安的是,我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。我很想知道,现在还有人会停车吗? 3. 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句:“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。” 4. 陌生人的善意。听起来好怪。如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗? 5. 要验证这一点,一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸,不带一分钱,完全依靠美国同胞的善意。他会发现一个什么样的美国?谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢? 6. 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢?好吧,我想,那不如我来试试? 7. 满37岁那个星期,我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。所以我决定来个观念的跨越,美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋,不带一分钱。要是有人给我钱,我会拒绝。我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”(即开普菲尔),它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。 8. 1994年9月6日,我早早起床,背起一个50磅重的包,朝金门桥走去。我从背包里拿出一个牌子,向过路的车辆展示我的目的地:“美利坚”。 9. 司机们隔着挡风玻璃念出这个词,然后笑了。两个女人骑自行车经过。“有点含混,”其中一个说。一名带有德国口音的年轻男士走上前来问,“你这个‘美利坚’在哪儿?”10. 实际上,整整六个星期的时间里我试图找出答案。我搭了82次便车,行程4223英里,穿越了14个州。在旅途中,我发现其他人跟我一样有担心。人们总是在警告我当心别的某个地方。在蒙大拿州,他们叫我留神怀俄明州的牛仔,而在内布拉斯加州,人们提醒我说艾奥瓦州的人可不如他们友好。 11. 然而,在我所去的每个州,我都受到了友善的对待。我诧异于美国人执意帮助陌生人的能力,甚至于在看来与自己的最大利益相冲突时他们也绝不袖手旁观。有一天,在内布拉斯加,一辆四门小轿车在路肩停下。我走到车窗边,看到两位穿着节日盛装的瘦小老妇人。12. “我知道这年头不该带搭便车的,但这里前不着村后不着店的,不停车感觉真不好。”自称“维”的司机说。她和姐姐海伦是去内布拉斯加的安斯沃思看眼疾的。 13. 她们为我停了车,我都不知道是该亲吻她们呢还是该责备她们。这个女人是在告诉我,她宁肯冒生命危险也不愿意因为没为一个站在路边的陌生人停车而感到内疚。她们在一个高速路口把我放下时,我望着维。我们俩异口同声地说,“小心。” 14. 有一次我在雨中没能搭上便车。一名长途卡车司机停了车,他把刹车踩得那么重,车子都在草地路肩上滑行了一段。司机告诉我他有一次被搭便车的人持刀抢劫了。“但我不愿意看到有人在雨里站着。”他补充说,“现在大家都没有良心了。” 15. 然而,我发现,总体而言,人们还是挺有同情心的。艾奥瓦州一对中年夫妇为了帮我找宿营地领着我走了一个小时。在南达科他州,一个女人让我在她家住了一晚之后递给我两张

UNIT1 人在自然界 1) 人类生活在大自然的王国里。他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物,无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。我们与大自然血肉相连,离开大自然,我们将无法生存。 2) 人类不仅生活在大自然之中,同时也在改变着大自然。人类把自然资源转变为各种文化,社会历史的财富。人类降服并控制了电,迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境,也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。 3) 随着社会的发展,人类对大自然的直接依赖越来越少,而间接的依赖却越来越多。我们远古的祖先生活在大自然的威胁及破坏力的恐惧之中,他们常常连基本的生活物资都无法获取。然而,尽管工具不甚完备,他们却能同心协力,顽强工作,并总是有所收获。在与人类的相互作用中,大自然也发生了改变。森林被破坏了,耕地面积增加了。大自然及其威力被看成是和人类敌对的东西。譬如,森林被认为是野性的和令人恐惧的,因此人类便想方设法使其面积缩小。这一切都是打着“文明”的旗号进行的,所谓“文明”,就是人类在哪里建立家园,耕耘土地,哪里的森林就被砍伐。 4) 然而,随着岁月的流逝,人类越来越关注的是在何处得到和如何得到生产所需的不可替代的自然资源的问题。科学与人类改变大自然的实践活动已经使人类意识到了工业在改变地球的进程中对地质产生的重大影响。 5) 目前,人与自然以及自然与社会整体之间过去存在的动态平衡,已呈现崩溃的迹象。生物圈中所谓可替代资源的问题变得极为尖锐。人类和社会的需求,即便是简单得像淡水一样的物质,也变得越来越难以满足。清除工业废物的问题也变得日益复杂。 6) 现代技术的特征是生产和使用日益丰富的人工合成产品。人们生产成千上万的人工合成材料。人们越来越多地用尼龙和其他人造纤维把自己从头到脚地包裹起来,这些绚丽的织物显然对他们无益。年轻人或许很少注意到这一点,他们更关注的是外表,而不是健康。但是上了年岁之后,他们就会感受到这种有害的影响。 7) 久而久之,这些合成物质转变成废弃物,那些原本毒性不大的物质在自然循环中变为极其有害的物质。自然科学家和哲学家如今都在问自己这样一个问题:人类对生物圈的破坏难道是无法避免的吗?

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit1

优等生的秘诀 1 一位研究教育的老师针对成绩优异的学生做过重点研究,发现最聪明的学生不见得总能得高分。根据这位教授、其他教育专家以及优等生们自己的观点,懂得如何充分发挥自己的潜能对于学生来说更为重要。 2 在班上名列前茅的学生之所以学习优秀,是因为他们掌握了几个基本原则。首先,优等生知道如何决定轻重缓急。他们从来不会为了打电话、看电视或者吃零食而牺牲学习时间。换言之,学习总是摆在娱乐之前。另外,优等生们总是注意随时随地学习。有位成绩优异的学生同时也是优秀的运动员,每天利用户外训练时间背生物学术语。而另一位学生则利用每天早上刷牙时间记一个新单词。所有受访的学生无一例外都认为,在什么时间学习完全是个人偏好问题。有些人在夜深人静时学习效果最好,有些人则喜欢趁着自己还能清晰地记得上课所讲的内容,一放学回家就开始学习。尽管如此,所有优等生都一致认为,如果想任何时候都表现优秀,一个主要的因素就是要持之以恒。 3 学生还必须学会有条理。举个例子,有一位优等生在学校乐队、田径队、橄榄球协会和辩论小组里都很活跃。他透露,他之所以把东西放得井井有条是因为他浪费不起到处找东西的时间。还有一位学生喜欢把当天的笔记马上整理出来并放进用不同颜色标记的文件夹里,以便临近考试时能随时用来复习。优等生们提倡的另一个技巧是有效的阅读,其中包括快速阅读,提高记忆能力以及主动提出问题以便充分理解作者的意思。 4 对于学生们来说,合理安排时间也同样重要。他们必须懂得如何根据每天的时间表和学习能力来安排做作业和项目的速度,不至于让手头的工作压得喘不过气。能制定时间表不仅让学生能够腾出更多时间来复习和完善功课,而且还能防止他们拖拖拉拉。成绩优异的学生认为,他们成功的一大秘诀就是上课时做好笔记,供复习时使用。有个学生透露,她把从课文上摘抄的内容记在笔记本的一边,把课堂笔记写在另一边。这样,就可同时复习到两方面的内容。她还透露,她不会浪费下课铃响前的几分钟跟朋友交头接耳,准备随时冲出教室。相反,她会利用这几分钟用两三句话概括那节课的要点,然后在下次上课前浏览这些笔记,加深印象。 5 老师们提倡的致胜秘诀是尽力让自己的作业整洁。有位老师说,学生交上整洁作业就已向高分迈进了一步。在课堂上大胆发言和提问也同样重要,这或许是学生澄清疑问的最好办法。课堂参与还能反映一个学生的求知欲。有个学生概括得好,“好成绩来自透彻的理解”。
