[2019年秋季]姓名学号学习中心专业年级考试时间大学英语2(高起专)阶段性作业4总分：100 分得分：0 分一、阅读理解In 1933 an unknown A merican c alled C larence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片）film for children.When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film T he Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when h e became angry with M ickey's eight nephews. Soon D onald w as more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA i n the world and safety in t he home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck a nd h is voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash d ied in F ebruary, 1985. But today's children c an still s ee the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.(30分)1). Who was Clarence Nash?

Who made Donald Duck film? (6分)(A) Mickey Mouse (B) Clarence Nash (C) W alt D isney (D) Pluto参考答案：C5). When was the first Donald Duck film made? (6分)(A) In 1933 (B) In 1934 (C) In 1966 (D) In 1985参考答案：BBackground music may seem h armless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it.Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing （舒适的）atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An A merican marketing expert has shown that music can boost（提升）sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music canincrease receipts（收入）by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer.The e xpert f ound t hat i n r estaurants s low m usic m eant c ustomers t ook l onger t o e at t heir meals, which r educed o verall s ales. So restaurant owners might be well advised t o play faster music to keep the customers moving－unless, of course, the resulting indigestion（消化不良）leads to complaints.(30分)6).

Section A College sweethearts大学情侣1 我微笑着看着我那两个可爱的女儿，她们似乎比她们的父母还是大学情侣那会儿更为成熟。
琳达，21岁, 在大学一年级交过一个男友，她曾以为会跟那个男孩结婚，但他们已不再来往了。
梅丽莎，19岁，还没有一个固定的男友。
我的女儿不知何时才能遇到她们的那个“唯一”，她们伟大的爱。
她们认为她们的父亲和我有着一段经典的、童话般的浪漫史，从一开始就直奔婚姻的殿堂。
也许，她们是正确的，但在那时似乎并不是那么回事。
在某种程度上，爱神恰恰在你最没准备时来临。
谁曾想到，布奇和我最终会结婚呢？他之所以成为我男友，只是因为当时我那肤浅的打算：我要找一个可爱的男友！2 我们通过我的大学室友介绍在大学食堂相识。
在那个命中注定的夜晚，我只是好奇，但对他而言，我认为是一见钟情。
他凝视着我的脸，说：“你有一双美丽的眼睛。
”他整个晚上一直盯着我。
我真的对他没那么感兴趣，其原因有二。
首先，他看起来就像是一个野小子，甚至还有些危险。
其次，虽然他很可爱，却似乎有点怪异。
3 他骑着自行车经过我的宿舍，装作与我“偶遇”，看到我时还假装惊讶。
我喜欢被重视的感觉，但对他的野性和充满活力的个性却小心谨慎。
他很会说话，这会迷倒任何女孩。
当我开始爱上他时，恐惧向我袭来。
他那令人激动的“坏小子形象”简直太诱人了。
究竟是什么吸引了我？我，一直口碑极好。
为了获得优异的成绩，我的注意力只专注在自己的学习上。
但又怎么样呢？大学应该是学习的好时间，可也应该有一些乐趣。
我已几乎达成了伟大的教育目标，离毕业只有一学期之遥了。
但我却还没有享受过任何乐趣，我的生活乏味，没有一点新鲜感！我需要一个男朋友，当然不是任何男朋友。
他必须很可爱。
于是我那个学期的目标就成为：雄心勃勃，抓住一个我能找到的最可爱的男友。
4 我担心他会怎么看我。
不错，我们生活在一个性观念正在发生戏剧性转变的时代，但我是一个传统的女孩，对在校园里似乎常见的新方式还没有心理准备。

Water heats up more slowly than land , but once it has become warm it takes longer to 31 down. If the Earth's surface were entirely land, the temperature at night would 32 quite quickly and night would be much colder than day. as it is on the moon. This does 33 happen in inland deserts, hundreds of mile from any sea .The climate of the continents , especially in the temperate 34 , is very much affected by the oceans around them. The areas close to the sea have a maritime climate, 35 rather cool summers and warm winter. The interiors, far from the sea, have a 36 climate with extremely hot summers and cold winters .Rain 37 from the evaporation of rivers, seas and lakes. Even after heavy rain , the pavements in a city do not take long to dry 38 the rainwater evaporates into the air. On a warm dry it evaporates very rapidly, 39 warm air can take in more moisture than cold air. But at any particular temperature, the 40 can hold only a certain maximum amount of water vapor. The air is then saturated, like a sponge that cannot hold 41 more water. The lower the temperature, the 42 water vapor is required to saturate the air.All over the surface of the Earth, minions of tons of water are 43 every second, condensing in the air into drops so small 44 it takes thousands of them to make a single raindrop. It is 45 drops that make clouds. When clouds roll in from the sea over the warmer land, they are forced to 46 and become cooler in the colder upper atmosphere. As the air cools down it pass through its saturation point and 47 some of its water vapor turns to rain. Day in ,day out, the 48 water circulates between the air and the land: rivers 49 to make clouds, clouds make rain, rainmakes rivers which in turn run into the sea. This is called the rain 50 .31.

I could have loved him as I did my mother, but he seemed to hold us off so that we could not approach him or sit on his knee as love to do. I believe he had a hard life as a child, and I know that he left school at the age of ten and started to work. This made him an unsociable man, unfriendly even to the people closest to him. I never knew him to have a close friend as the other men did.Everything he did had to be precise. If he chopped the sticks for the fire, each stick would be the same length and thickness as all the others, and they would all be stacked without one out of place. His motto(座右铭) was “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well”. In our household his word was law and nobody dared dispute it.He worked hard when in a job and saw to it that we children learned the meaning of work. My mother did not have much pleasure but I do not remember her ever complaining – except on Sunday afternoons when father would take off his clothes and get into bed, leaving her to mend his working clothes while he had his rest. This she disliked very much, for the clothes were dirty from the work he had been doing and she hated handing anything that was not clean.51. The writer found it difficult to understand her father because he ___________.A. looked distantB. rejected affectionC. ill-treated the familyD. disliked children52. What did the writer think made her father unsociable?A. An unhappy childhood.B. A lack of friends.C. No interest in hobbies.D. Not smoking or drinking.53. What was particular about the sticks for the fire?A. They were arranged in a pattern.B. They were chopped in only one place.C. They were similar in length.D. They all weighed the same.54. The writer’s father believed that __________.A. you should only do things for which you have the abilityB. only important jobs are worth doing wellC. you should only attempt worthwhile jobsD. anything you do should be done to your best ability55. What did the writer’s mother dislike about Sunday afternoons?A. Working while her husband rested.B. Repairing her husband’s clothes.C. Not being able to have any pleasure.D. Touching unclean clothes.Passage 2Nonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious(调情) for a woman to allow a man to look at her in the eye. This “eye contact”provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the thing you are talking about.56. Nonverbal communication includes all forms listed below except ________.A. gesturesB. body distanceC. talksD. eye contact57. While talking, the South Americans tend to _________.A. talk loudlyB. be close to each otherC. keep a certain distance between themD. push each other58. While they are talking, the North Americans tend to ________ .A. talk loudlyB. be close to each otherC. keep a certain distance between themD. be cold59. It would be considered ________ in the Middle East, if a woman allows a man to look at herin the eye.A. politeB. impoliteC. acceptableD. unacceptable60. More eye contacts may indicate all of the following except that ________.A. people like each otherB. people are interested in the topicC. people are interested in each otherD. people want to keep talking五. Translate the following sentences into English.61. 既然你不能回答这个问题，我们最好问问别人。
新标准大学英语综合教程2 Unit 4课文翻译
Unit 4Active reading (1)上头条世界各地的媒体都以头条报道同一新闻的情形并不很常见。
这样的事件得具有巨大的国际影响力。
但是这正是2001 年9 月恐怖分子袭击纽约世贸中心双塔之后发生的情形。
从那一刻起世界改变了模样，这样说也许并不夸张。
但是，使9/11 值得纪念并（用媒体喜欢的话来说）具有新闻价值的不仅仅是它的历史性和国际性。
还有震惊和恐惧。
这一消息极度震撼，极具爆炸性。
事发多年以后，许多人还能清楚地记得他们第一次听到这一消息时身在何处和当时正在做什么。
他们能记得自己的反应：对全世界许多人来说，他们的第一本能是去把这一消息告诉别的人。
这就证实了那句老话：“坏事传千里”。
一切重大新闻都是如此。
我记得上小学的时候，老师脸色煞白地向一班吃惊的七岁孩子通报说，肯尼迪总统死了。
我并不知道肯尼迪总统是谁，但是我听到这一消息后非常不安，后来就跑回家去告诉了父母（当然，他们已经知道了）。
事实上，这是我最早的记忆之一。
那么，新闻到底是什么？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，从贫困问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是进行中的，并不都集中在同一天上头条。
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困境感同身受，从这个意义上讲）极具人性。
奇特怪异并不意味着重大。
就拿今天的《中国日报》上关于一只老鼠延误了一架从越南飞至日本的航班这条消息为例吧。
在河内机场有人发现那只老鼠在一架飞机的过道里奔跑。
它最终被12 名技术人员合力逮住，他们怕它会咬破电线，造成短路。
飞机晚点了四个多小时才起飞。
你也许会说，这并不是具有重大国际影响的事件（除了少数乘客到另一国赴约迟到以外）。
但是全球却颇有反响，从亚洲经苏格兰到美洲的电子版报纸都有转载（《爱丁堡晚报》的标题是“捉老鼠延误航班”）。
另一个新闻价值的元素是即时性。

Here is a small guide that is likely to help you in your effort to learn more about the way the French conduct their business, and how you can fit into this culture.

III．仔细阅读(20’)Passage 1Someday a siranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the website you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen --- the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs ( ) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is : Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away,and that bothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change anybehaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths ( ) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon ( ) .But privacy does matter--- at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.1.What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked”(Lines 4, Para. 2)?A.People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.2.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.C.There should be a distance even between friends.D.There should be fewer disputes between friends.3.Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” (Line 5,Para. 3)?A.Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B.People leave traces around when using modern technology.C.There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.4.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B.They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C.They rely most and more on electronic devices.D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.5.According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ________.A.people will make every effort to keep itB.its importance is rarely understoodC.it is something that can easily be lostD.people don’t cherish it until they lose it.Passage 2Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off--- and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room , the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with lich, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave, it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the faire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be very difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You’ll open them using your personal card--- the one you use for shopping--- maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a house breaker will have to tamper( ) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For on e thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just waiting.6.The author intends to tell us that in 2040 _________.A.we will live without the lights and heatersB.we will use many more lights and heatersC.lights and heaters will go on and off automaticallyD.there will be no switches of lights and heaters7.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B.The sensor will detect fire and put it out.C.Without a computer, the sensor cannot do much.D.The sensor is multi-functional.8.According to the author, in 2040 new technology will _______.A. turn everything into sensorsB. free us from the keys we use todayC. make the locks out of dateD. eliminate all crimes9.Thanks to computers, in 2040 people will ________.A. have no entertainment outsideB. replace TV with computersC. be controlled by computersD. have more fun at home10.The best title for the passage might be “_____________”.A.
