The world has changed a lot since the 1960s, and so have universities.

I really enjoyed my years at university, and so did Jackie.

Choosing the right course is always a major problem for new students, and so is organizing one’s time on campus.

I’m thinking of going to the lecture on post-colonial literature, and so is Li Ming.

I think the facilities in our college have improved over the last few years, and so has

the teaching.

We can access the Internet in our student hostel, and so can everyone else on campus. I’m not very interested in politics, nor are my friends.

I won’t be doing much tonight, nor will my roommate.

Starting out at college means meeting lots of interesting people.

Going to bed too late means not being able to concentrate the next day.

Doing a course in Lit Theory means spending a lot of time on difficult subjects.

Being interested in literature means having an open mind about other ways of life. Protesting against the Vietnam War in the 1960s meant going out onto the streets.

Going to college today means spending a lot of time thinking about what you will do afterwards.

在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50%的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。

我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征,或了解美国大学在如何变化。这门课是让你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿,穿着一件T 恤衫,上面印着“去过那儿,干过那事儿,对,这就是那件T 恤衫”,或诸如此类带有揶揄意味的俏皮话。

我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪(1914-1989),生于其后期。这个世纪充满了战争和革命,它改变了人类文明,推翻了强权政府,给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权。我们所得到的机会与特权比从前任何一代人都要多。

Instead of resolving contradictions, the series of measures taken by the government gave rise to more violent clashes. The Opposition formed an alliance with the trade unions and launched a general strike, which ultimately brought about the downfall of the government.

Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and students are becoming more and more practical. Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower in which scholars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end.

I never hoped to learn the subject well by attending those lectures. But I did go to

lectures, for it was the place where I could get the important points of the course and learn how to organize materials and how to reason.

Although I have been trying every means to solve the problem, I cannot work out a satisfactory solution. But when I went to the kitchen to get a drink, something clicked and made me realize that the solution might be quite simple.

Bologna University is about 900 years old.

Students paid the lecturers for their work.

Five students were the minimum number needed to attend a lecture.

The lecturer was declared absent and given a fixed fine.

There were a number of other reasons for a lecturer to be punished. These included: if lecturers failed to meet the standards set out in the university

statutes; if they started lectures a minute late or if they went on beyond the

approved time; if they failed to cover the syllabus according to an agreed

timetable; and if they passed over a difficult subject or failed to emphasize

each part of a difficult syllabus.

Four students were elected as spies.

They were obliged to report irregularities such as bad lecturing technique, failure to cover the syllabus, or absence without leave.

Students lost their power over lecturers by 1350 because the payment system was changed. Lecturers were appointed and paid by the local town council. Unit 2

这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始技术含义,而“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E.B.铁钦纳首次使用。铁钦纳的理论是:同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿,这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词;同情是针对他人的一般困境而发的,无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为,那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同,会更有能力安慰别人。

我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出的“正常脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好,我就会微微转过头,把头发掖到离他们较近的那只耳朵后面。

我告诉他说:“我基本上只读唇语,因为这比用手语更容易,但这不是我一直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来,主人放大音乐的音量,调暗“舞池”的灯光;我不得不凑近他,近得多得多,以便能在昏暗中接着读他的唇语。我的确读到了他的唇语。

The moment I saw those old photos in the drawer, tears welled up in my eyes, for my memory went back to the days when I lived happily with my grandparents, my parents and my brothers and sisters.

When a student slipped on a pool of water and fell over, people’s reaction diverged from one another. Some approached caringly to see if he was hurt and if they could help; some just stood there confusing over what to do about it; while others just tuned out.

Last Saturday morning, I did the usual and went shopping in the supermarket. When I was about to open the door of my car, I found that I did not have my wallet on me.

I could do nothing but go back home in search of it, but I failed to find it

anywhere.

When I was a second grader, one of my classmates got a red radio-controlled toy car as a birthday gift. The rest of us could only admire, but could not imitate, because the car was expensive and was bought in Hong Kong, a place which seemed to us as far away as New Y ork at that time.

这是2002年的电影《有种来抓我》的剧情简介。影片讲述了小弗兰克·阿巴格纳尔(莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演)的故事。影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师,曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色,在26个国家伪造了价值600万美元以上的支票。他成了联邦调查局有史以来伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的通缉犯。

2003年以来,身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到,为了预防这种改变人生的犯罪,采取一些预防措施有多么重要,比如把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去,甚至使用几美元一支的(特效)笔等等。

假如说我们从恐怖分子那里——更不用说从动作电影那里——学到了一招,那就是,工具也是武器。全球通用的信用卡和支持它们的数据库是去除商业摩擦的工具。换句话说,它们是以让各方最省事的方式从人们那里取钱的工具。无论通用身份的前景如何,我们尚不知道该如何应付这样一个世界:无论我身在何处,一切都可能与我有关联。一方面,这个世界给我们提供了无可置疑的种种方便;另一方面,我们又面对着所有这些强化组合的信息(如果是合理的强化组合该多好啊)所带来的种种危险。这种危险虽然模糊,但显然离我们很近。我们尚不知如何在两者之间保持平衡。

These are important documents, the content of which should be kept strictly confidential. If you need to dispose of them, you must shred them or tear them up instead of throwing them out with the trash.

Nowadays, white-collar crimes such as forging checks, ID cards and credit cards have

become very common. Though we have learnt much about how to prevent ourselves from being cheated, it seems that we could be its victims at any time.

It has been several months since the earthquake. Life has returned to normal, and people are busy going about their business. But there is no escaping the fact that the mental trauma the earthquake brought to people will never be wiped out.

The late-night edition of the paper was bought by a lot of people interested in the result of the match.

The princess was followed across the town by photographers determined to get a photo of her.

一个事件光有客观重要性显然还不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问题,都会造成戏剧性的后果,从贫穷问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是

进行中的,并不都会在同一天成为头条。对比之下,9/11不仅具有国际

性,而且奇特怪异、出人意料,还(可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人

们的痛苦感同身受,从这个意义上讲)极具人性。

但是,电视新闻未必比报纸报道更客观或更可靠,因为你在屏幕上看到的图像是经过记者或编辑根据特殊的目的,或至少是按照指示筛选过的;它

互联网为任何有意见的人提供了一个便利的窗口;报纸编辑最喜欢的莫过于给它们提供各种不同的反馈和意见,他们能从中得到安慰。如今十几岁

特定媒体的作业时他们才去读报。

如此看来,报纸是不会轻易消失的。未来报纸发展的趋势包括对本地新闻需求的日益增长,而始于20世纪80年代后期的对生活方式新闻的持续开发

So sudden, so striking was the news that I sat motionless on sofa for a few minutes. My first instinct was to call our leaders to tell them what had

happened and see what we could do for those colleagues who died or got

injured in this traffic accident.

Paper books for children have an enormous advantage over e-books. For children,

a beautifully printed paper book is not only a book but also a toy they can

play with. Reading a paper book is rather different from reading a book on

the screen.

In recent years, traditional media are in the tendency of decline and new media are developing rapidly. However, this does not necessarily mean that

traditional media have lost the market. When it comes to reading things like

news, people are still used to such traditional media as newspaper.

With the explosion of the financial crisis, many enterprises find themselves in difficulties. For those who have no circulating fund to invest in new

production and would not let the vicious circle continue, the only thing they

can do is turn to government for help.

1.

The writer creates an atmosphere to show that she was very tense and nervous (dry mouth, heat beating), but at the same time she was excited and energetic (heart beating, adrenaline pumping) before her race.

“Burning legs” give readers a feeling of pain, struggling, exhaustion and possibly a fear of losing the race (because of the opening gap).

The word “tingle” spreads the effect to readers that they could feel her feeling of excitement, achievement and victory through a feel of pain all over her body. The three quotes also show the writers’ feelings during three stages of the race: tense and excited (before the race); struggling and fearful (during the race) and victorious (in the end).

2. They highlight the key messages which she kept telling herself, the messages which helped her win. She invites readers to see her inner thoughts with this simple and factual information: two minutes, one more lap towards being the Olympic champion.

3. This shows that she could not believe that she had actually realized her childhood dream. She was in a momentary state of doubt, doubting herself, which is natural when something really important and significant happens to you.

8

Y es, particularly she is good at describing her feelings through using how different body parts react and sense the emotions:

?deafening noises, heart beating loudly, shouts of encouragement, cries of hope, roar of the crowd,

clapping and shouting with delight (sounds);

?pumping adrenaline, a tingle through the whole of my body, bandaged ankle, burning legs, thoughts of pain (feelings in the body);

?lifted spirits, mental stamina, inner self, I thought I had, keep negative thoughts from my mind, smiled, still not sure (internal thoughts and reactions);

?the sea of faces, arms aloft, fists clenched (body actions).

She is also successful in using a string of emotional adjectives and adverbs to describe her feelings and surroundings which stimulated her feelings:

?illuminated, deafening, tantalisingly, loudly, fantastic, completely exhilarating, terrifying, composed, unified, vocal, emotional and physical, gruelling, exhausted, not sure, relief, calm.

They must have been extremely excited and proud that she had won. This is reflected through their shouting, loud cheering, and waving flags to support her.

1 the outsider’s view

The writer talks about the “mystery” of injury time and “something called” the offside rule; an insider, or even someone who just watches football games occasionally on TV, would know very well what these are. As he says, he “has no clue what’s going on”.

2 words related to chance, accident and confusion

?Words related to chance: a game of chance, it’s a matter of luck, the chance nature of this game, the ball happens to be aimed about right, it’s sheer luck

?Words related to accident: it looks like an accident, accidentally bouncing off random players, takes full credit for this accident, seem so out of control

?Words related to confusion: I will have no clue what’s going on, a scene of sheer chaos, the chaos resumes, strategies and regulations are so obscure, the mystery of injury time, this leaves everyone perplexed, at a loss for words, The mystery remains

3 choice of words and phrases for humorous effect

当夜幕降临悉尼时,雨夜开始悄悄地从夜空飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明,场内的声音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸,但我的注意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了,它悬挂在远处,很诱人。

我知道自己会全力以赴,拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。

我只要跑两圈就行了,就两圈。跑完这两圈,过去两天以及28年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。

我知道,如果一个人不是从小就接触某项外来的运动,他就很难对它感兴趣。

现在我正遭遇同样的文化壁垒。6月9号世界杯足球赛就要开始了,而我对球员在“球场”上干些什么却一无所知。看起来这是给这个所谓的精彩赛事揭短的一次大好机会。

时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘,躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾。这时会暂停计时,几个提着黑包的小个子男人会跑过来按摩他那假装、胡说的受伤部位,然后他又活蹦乱跳地站起来。那位肘击他的球员会得到一张叫“黄牌”

He cried his heart out when he heard that he was not in the list of the school team.

After all, he had gone through months of hard training and grueling competition, and had learned how to shoot with great skill and accuracy.

The coach, who was known for his strictness, had meant from the very start for all the players to shut out all the distracting thoughts and push themselves beyond their limits to ensure that they win a medal at the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing.

Since after he took over the team, the new coach has always borne in mind his mission and finally made it to the championship of the league matches. When interviewed, the coach was at a loss for words because of excitement. Football is an amazing sport. Despite the fact that most finals are 0-0, 1-0 or 2-1, people keep flocking to see football fames. For me, it remains a mystery what is so attracting about football.

There are three: baseball, (American) football and basketball

Baseball is a relaxed, leisurely spectator sport; football is more violent, with a contemporary appeal; basketball-in the cities-is a way of life.

It involves strategies and the fans become generals planning troop movement (because there is a large number of “set-piece” strategies with players all following practiced moves according to instructions, so fans knowing some of these can pretend they are general, like the team coach.

It gives the impression of being busy and active, but you can be lazy and watch it. They are country club sports: Y ou have to pay membership fees to join golf and tennis clubs.

Middle Americans (those who live in the central States) love the noise, the violence and the danger of the cars.

The small town kids learn to shoot with great skill and accuracy; city kids develop “the moves” (they learn more intricate aspects because they live the game).

Because in a gang the kids conform to ideas about manhood and identity, and they also do this with basketball.

Scientists used to believe that animals were like machines programmed to react to stimuli, in other words, they were not considered capable of feeling or thinking, and certainly not of understanding abstract concepts.

Our perceptions of animals are filtered through our own human understanding of the world, in other words, we often project human feelings and thoughts onto other creatures.

In his book The Descent of Man, published in 1871, he questioned whether higher mental abilities such as self-consciousness and memory were limited to human beings, in other words, Darwin speculated that human and non-human minds aren’t all that different.

Scientists now go so far as to ask if animals have feelings and intelligence, should it affect the way we treat them?

接下来的一瞬间我已经站在水里,霍根用前爪破冰朝我游过来。一路上冰块的侵扰似乎让他受了些惊吓,但他绝对能控制得住自己。我尽量向前趟,直到我的双脚陷进湖底的烂泥,冰冷的湖水浸透了我的夹克。我站在那儿等着。

它会认人、选择食物、识别道路。但这是否意味着它有思维能力呢?如果有的话,又如何证实呢?我们对动物的认知是经过过滤的,是建立在人类对世界的理解的基础上的,我们常常把人类的情感和思想投射到其他动物身上。

许多20世纪的科学家轻视这些发现,认为它们不可靠,这是受了拟人说的影响,即根据人的特征来判断动物。但是,现在舆论的天平已经不再向那些认为动物像机器一样没有智慧的观点倾斜了,而是向达尔文的观点倾斜。大范围的动物研究表明:智慧之根在动物界的分布既深又广,变化多端。

The burglars were throwing the stolen items to the pickup and were just about to drive away when the guards watching over the living quarters found them and called the police.

The three soldiers had walked with difficulty through the woods for a whole day, trying to navigate to the east bank of the river, only to find that they had been circling in the woods and were still dozens of miles short of their destination.

It seems to me that the scholar who talked about animal intelligence this morning has obviously overestimated the animal intelligence. She went so far as to suggest that chimpanzees can communicate with humans through computers.

As volunteers, what we need to do is not just limited to smiling to those who come to us for information and help. We must also learn skills for cross-cultural communication, without which our performance cannot be satisfactory.

From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers. 3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two ex-tremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of con-trol. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development.

大学英语口语考试试题及答案

以下为爱麟霖/(Curlylin)倾情奉献,需要的朋友可以参考一下 7. Friendship (Listening and Speaking Course, Unit 3; Integrated Course, Unit 2) 1) Do you have many friends? What kind of people do you want to make friends with? Why? Yes. I’d like to make friends with loyal people. In my opinion,a friend is a person who can share his/hers happiness with you, who can lend you a shoulder when you cry,who can give you a hand when you are in trouble without asking for anything in return. In a word,a friend in need is a friend indeed, I think a loyal people can do the things which were mentioned above for his/hers true friend. So I prefer to make friends with loyal people, and I also believe I am a loyal people who you can make friends with. 2) How do you make friends? Please comment on “a friend you buy isn’t worth the price”. First,I’d like to talk to him to find out whether we have the same interest with each other. If the answer is YES,then we have the foundation to develop a friendship. The next days, all we need to do is to treat each other by heart and soul. 3) How valuable is friendship in a person’s life? How can we keep friendship alive? As for me, I regard friendship as a very important part in my life.Just imagine a life,there’s no one to be your friend. What life could be if you had no friend to talk to , no friend to comfore you and cheer you up when you were having a hard time,no friend to lend you a hand when you needed help …… Life without friends is unthinkable ... We have to do hard work to build up and sustain our friendship. First, let your friends know that you really care about them.It’s important to give some cues to your friends. Be sure your friend knows that she is cared about.Second,try to be with your friends when they are in trouble when they need you. Keeping friendship alive is not only to say some sweet words,but need some real action. 4) What does friendship mean to you? What kind of friends do you think are true friends? It's a fantastic experience in whole of my life. Friendship to me is what water to fish.I can't live without a real friend. 2问见(1) 5) How can we get along well with other people? To begin with, we need to be honest with others and always say what we mean. Lies will surely make people stay far away from us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best policy. Second, we have to be humble enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly win other's respect, not to mention "friendship" . Finally, we must not be selfish. We should learn how to show concern for others. As long as we abide[?'ba?d] by what is mentioned above, we will find it easy to get along well with others.
