新标准大学英语_综合教程3_课后答案unit 3

Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane,(2) the expressiveplane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1)The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means sincewe don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms. The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to youremotions and thoughts.A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refersto the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2)means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into thesehypothetical planes is … (Para 1)The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actualones. Here, the planes are not real, they are just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kindof brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathe in the sound means to immerseyourself in the sound, like in water.To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere soundappeal means to be created only by the appeal or attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quitelistening to it. (Para 3)The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject youare talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.Unit 3 Art for art’s sake825 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous planeis an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone else without having the right to do this.The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest means don’t let ittake up a wrong amount of your interest.The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some peoplewill probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you arenervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or thatyou cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances – shades of meaning –of different kinds ofsadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easily),sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate –we can’tavoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how importantit is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, theharmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (thetune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse),harmony (how the notesof music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound ofnotes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition andvariation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theater will make this instinctivecorrelation clearer. (Para 11)An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that is intended to show that the twoare similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both ofthem.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.Teaching tipsTo go through the answers, T assigns Numbers 1–7 to seven Ss, and ask each student to read onedefinition. T then assigns Numbers 8–14 to another seven Ss, and ask them to give corresponding answersorally. For example, “You could use the word constitute,” or “That means the same as constitute.”1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hittinga drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known. His Well-Tempered Clavichord (2) constitutes one of the most complete works for keyboard ever written. It is(3) simultaneously both a series of technical exercises which explore thepossibilities of the keyboard, andArt for art’s sake Unit 385a masterpiece of expressive feeling. Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist anda choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followedhim, and he was soon forgotten. But his music was rediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect senseof (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky,(7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You mayneed to make other changes.1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition. (proclaim)2 It’s quite easy to make a comparison between poetry and music. (analogy) It’s quite easy to make an analogy between poetry and music.3 We are amazed by her ability to express herself with great clearness and simplicity. (clarity)4 How many artists have given up everything for the cause of their art? (for the sake of)5 Internet emerges as a powerful and effective force in advertising new products. (potent)6 I enjoyed the performance, but I thought the clothes the actors were wearing were a bit silly. (costumes)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If you split something up, do you (a) divide it into parts, or (b) put the parts together?2 If you do something absent-mindedly, are you (a) thinking about what you are doing, or (b) thinkingabout something else?3 Do you look for consolation (a) after a piece of bad news, or (b) after a piece of good news?4 If you are treading on controversial ground, are you (a) taking a risk, or(b) making everybody happy?5 If you shy away from something, do you (a) keep close to it, or (b) keep your distance from it?6 If you pin something down, are you (a) able to examine it carefully, or (b) unable to examine itcarefully?Unit 3 Art for art’s sake867 If you know the melody of a piece of music, are you familiar with (a) the tune, or (b) the meaning of themusic?8 Is an instinctive reaction to something (a) automatic, or (b) one which followsa lot of thought?Reading and interpreting8 Work in pairs and choose the best answer to the questions.1 Which is the writer’s main purpose?(a) To show how complex listening to music is.(b) To get people to listen to music more.(c) To discourage some people from listening to music.(d) To get people to think about how they listen to music.2 Who does the writer address as you?(a) Musicians.(b) Theatregoers.(c) Composers.(d) Intelligent music lovers.9 Check (¸) the statements you agree with.√ 1 The analysis the writer makes is a fair and accurate one.Yes, I think this is a reasonable analysis of listening to music.2 He describes the sensuous listener in negative terms.He does mention some negative aspects of sensuous listening but he says several times that welisten in all three ways, so I don’t think he is actually negative about this way.√ 3 He thinks all great music is expressive.He doesn’t actually say this, but this seems to be his point of view.4 He thinks most listeners are not intelligent enough.No, he do esn’t say this. He says most listeners are not conscious enough of the third plane, but thatdoesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent.√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, and his insights into theeffective way of listening to music.√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses theanalogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.Active reading (2)Language points1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors andlandscapes. (Para 2)Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations.Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focusmostly on nature.2 While Griet goes about her duties, she attracts the attention not only ofa butcher’s boy, Pieter, butalso of the painter himself. (Para 6)To go about her duties means to do the work that she is supposed to do. Being on duty means to beworking at the moment; being off duty means to be not working at the moment.3 Despite their different backgrounds and class, he invites her into his studio and engages her in hisworld. (Para 6)To engage her in his world means to help her to take an interest, understand or take part in what hedoes.4 Vermeer recognizes Griet as having visual talent and artistic promise, and takes her on as his studioassistant. (Para 7)The expression she has artistic promise means she shows the sign that she is likely to be successful as anartist in the future.5 Her role is to grind paints and develop the colours which Vermeer will use for his paintings ...(Para 7)To grind paints means to break something into very small pieces or powder by crushing it between twosurfaces or using a machine. In Vermeer’s time, artists made their own paints by grinding up differentcolours and mixing the powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprenticeor assistant.6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so the apprenticeship takes place in secret.(Para 7)The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usuallyfor low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal forpeople to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron. (Para 12)To commission means to ask someone officially to do some work for you. Commissioning a work of ar tmeans asking the artist to produce a particular work of art in exchange for payment Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 someone who looks at a picture, photograph, or piece of art (viewer)2 a painting, drawing or photograph of someone, especially of their face only (portrait)3 relating to people’s homes and family life (domestic)4 the inside part of something, especially a building or vehicle (interior)5 as a result (consequently)6 to start to employ someone or use their services (engage)7 to officially ask for a piece of work to be done for you (commission)6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.In the beginning it was only the rich and famous who had their (1) portraits painted.

They cause people to lose their homes, their possessions, or even their lives. In a word, theycan be downrightunbelievable and courage. Earthquakes and hurricanes may cause theworst things to happen, but they also bring out the best in people.In 2005, one of the worst hurricanes in recent memory formed over the Gulf of Mexico and movedover the southeastern United States. Known as Hurricane Katrina, it was devastating for many majorcities, especially New Orleans, and the people who lived there. While some people managed to (34)and find safety outside of the city, many did not. Unfortunately, they were leftwhen the floods filled the streets and drowned their houses.It is hard to use too many words to describe Katrina. It was one of theworst storms in history.

Do you yearn to see what the world has to offer? Areyou tired of simply hearing about other cultures and want to finally experience some of them? Why simplytravel the world, though, when you can actively make a difference?Too many people visit countries to see the famous landmarks, taste the local food, and experience life away from their familiar hometowns. However, you can also give something back to the communities inwhich you travel. Volunteer vacations are becoming increasingly popular, and many people are discoveringthat they have much more rewarding and satisfying travel experiences when they volunteer their time and energy to worthwhile causes.Many volunteer vacations are easy to organize and simple to execute. Others are more complicated. There are opportunities for every budget, schedule, and amount of effort you're willing to dedicate. It's really up to you. You can teach a language in Africa. You can help build a school in Southeast Asia or a home for a low-income family close to your home. You can help national park employees conserve endangered plants and animals. You can go hiking and help preserve and maintain trail systems. You can volunteer at an orphanage and help keep children safe. The options are limitless and literally encompass anything you can possibly imagine.We often hear about the heroic deeds that some people do to help others when they are most in need, but why wait until a major disaster to give back? Volunteering your time, skills, knowledge, and energy to meaningful projects in the areas of education, health, sanitation, and construction is just as valuable.Ironically, many countries that are popular vacation destinations are also most in need of aid and assistance. Prominent world citizens such as Bill Clinton and Kofi Annan repeatedly extol the virtues of volunteerism and claim that true heroes are those people who give what they can with no expectation of anything in return.Next time you plan a vacation, won't you consider a volunteer vacation? You might make all the difference in the world.41. Where is a likely place that this passage might appear?A. On a marketing brochure for a volunteer vacation organizer.B. In a newspaper editorial about the need for emergency volunteers.C. On a travel brochure for a popular vacation destination.D. In a magazine article about volunteerism among prominent world citizens.42. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage?A. The Benefits of International TravelB. Heroic Deeds of Bill Clinton and Kofi AnnanC. Volunteer Vacations: Great Opportunities for Meaningful WorkD. Volunteers: The True Heroes of the Planet43.

The type of writing in this passage would best be described as _____.A. educationalB. entertainingC. scientificD. persuasive45. Which of the following sentences is the writer's critical message?A.

Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and Iremember that many summer days were spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different.

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination,create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44. This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining story45. What does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.B. The ability to think creatively is invaluable.C. The ability to think creatively helps children develop.D. The ability to think creatively is a natural part of childhood.。

He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified. I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, thetwo founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.41. The writer of this passage is unable to _____.A. seeB. hearC. smellD. walk42. Even though this passage is in the form of a diary entry, the material is _____.A. entertainingB. persuasiveC. informativeD. fictitious43. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement?A. There is a universal form of sign language used by deaf people around the world.B. American Sign Language is a form of French Sign Language.C. Laurent Clerc introduced the first form of sign language to the United States.D. Every country has its own unique form of sign language.44. Which of the following events occurred in 1817?A. Thomas Gallaudet graduated form Yale University.B. Thomas Gallaudet met Laurent Clerc in Paris.C. Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc founded the American School for the Deaf.D. Laurent Clerc developed American Sign Language.45. According to the writer, all of the following are important to sign language EXCEPT_____.A. the ability to readB. hand motionsC. sense of sightD. body language。

The writer worked in many different jobs, including nine yearsas a “bouncer” in a nightclub in London (a bouncer has the tough job of making sure that no one causestrouble, eg if they are rude, drunk or violent). He then trained full-time in karate, judo and other martial artsand became well-known as a martial arts instructor. He lived out his dream to become a writer,over 30 books on self-defence and self-improvement and has recently been making films and writing for thescreen. Asked what he had learnt from his years in martial arts, he said, “The main thing I’ve learned is thatwherever there is discomfort there is growth, but what people do is to look for growth in areas of comfort –and there’s no growth in comfort. So look for areas of growth that are uncomfortable but allow you to grow,and learn to become comfortable in those areas.”Language points1 I have some good news and some bad news for you (as the joke goes). The bad news –and I’m verysorry to be the bearer –is that we are all dying. It’s true. I’ve checked it out. (Para 1) Good news and bad news are often paired together in jokes and in comments on new information or recentevents where there is a mixture of positive and negative aspects, eg The good news is … But the badnews is …To check something out means to examine something or someone in order to be certain that everything iscorrect, true, satisfactory or acceptable. Check this out! is an attention-getting exclamation which meanshere’s somethi ng interesting to have a look at.2 … we are all going to be either coffin dwellers or trampled ash in the rose garden of some localcemetery. (Para 1)Coffin is a long box in which a dead person is buried. The expression coffin dweller is a humorous way torefer to dead people.The expression trampled ash in the rose garden of some local cemetery refers jokingly to the ashes of adead person placed in a cemetery garden where people walk on the buried ashes.Discovering yourself Unit 1133 After all, we never quite know when the hooded, scythe-carrying,bringer-of-the-last-breath mightcome-a-calling. (Para 1)The expression the hooded, scythe-carrying, bringer-of-the-last breath refers to the reaper, a person whoreaps or cuts corn for the harvest and is a symbol of death from medieval times of the West. A reaper ispersonified as a tall figure dressed in a black cloak with a hood covering his face and carryinga cutting tool with a long curved metal blade used for cutting, or reaping long grass or corn. The reaperbrings death or brings your last breath. The expression when the reaper arrives means when death comesto you.4 … and nothing underlines the uncertainty and absolute frailty of humanity like the untimely exit ofa friend. (Para 1)The word exit here means leaving this world or death. The word untimely means happening at a time thatis not suitable because it causes problems. An untimely death is too soon or when a person is young.5 Knowing that we are all budding crypt-kickers takes away all the uncertainty of life. (Para 3)That we are all budding crypt-kickers is a humorous way of saying that we are all potentially soon to beburied, ie dead.6 The prologue and epilogue are already typed in. All that’s left is the middle bit ... choose the meat ofthe story. (Para 3)A prologue is a piece of writing at the start of a book, or the beginning of a play, film or TV programmethat introduces a story. An epilogue is at the end of a novel, play or piece of writing, which carries an extracomme nt or extra information about what happens after the main story. Here, the writer’s point is that theprologue (birth) and epilogue (end, death) of your life are already written, but we all choose to write themiddle bit –the meat of the story.7 So, all those plans that you have on the back burner, you know, the great things you’re going to dowith your life “when the time is right”? (Para 4)A back burner is literally one of the back parts of a cooker which is used for heating or cooking food.Metaphorically, if you put something on the back burner, it means you have decided not to do it untillater. It is at the back of the cooker, just simmering or cooking slowly, so you don’t give it priority becauseit doesn’t need your full attention. The expression this back-burner stuff (Para 10) thus refers to thingswhich have low priority and get little attention.8 There’s only a promissory note that we are often not in a position to cash. (Para 5)A promissory note is a document giving details of your promise to pay someone a particularmoney by a particular date. The writer means that tomorrow, or the future, is like a promissory note forwhich you never get the cash, because the future never comes unless you act now and use time wisely, asif tomorrow is today.9 … but regret and a rear-view mirror full of “could haves”, “should haves” and “would haves”. (Para 5)A rear-view mirror is a mirror fixed to the front window of a car that lets the driver see what is happeningbehind. Here, the mirror refers to the past, which is behind us. We don’t want such a mirror full of regretsabout things we could / should / would have done, but did not do.Unit 1 Discovering yourself1410 I love watching people ingeniously stack the cucumber around the side of the bowl –like they’refilling a skip – and then cramming it so high that they have to hire a forklift truck to get it back tothe table … They just know that they only have one shot at it. (Para 6)A skip is a large metal container used in the building industry for waste; it is carried away by a truckwhen it is full.A forklift truck is a vehicle that uses two long metal bars at the front for lifting and moving heavy objects.The writer is using the images of a skip and a truck to emphasize how people use the opportunity to servethemselves, because they only have one shot – they only have one chance or attempt, they can’t return formore salad in this type of buffet, so they make the most of this opportunity.11 So what I’m thinking is (and this is not molecular science) … (Para 10)It means this is not specialized knowledge. It’s not rocket science; it’s simple and straightforward.12 The right time is the cheque that’s permanently in the post, it never arrives. (Para 10) That the cheque is in the post means money has been sent, its on its way. This is often said as an excusefor late payment, so if the cheque’s permanently in the post, it means the money never comes.13 It’s the girl who keeps us standing at the corner of the Co-op looking like aspanner … She’s stoodus up. (Para 10)The expression looking like a spanner on the street corner means he looks awkward and out of place,waiting for a girl who is late and never arrives.To stand someone up means not to come to meet them when you have arranged to meet them,someone with whom you are having or starting a romantic relationship. The word us is an informal andpersonal way to include others who will recognize that this is a typical experience.14 Act now or your time will elapse and you’ll end up as a sepia-coloured relative that no one can puta name to in a dusty photo album. (Para 13)The expression you’ll end up as a sepia-coloured relative means that in the end you will be only anold half-forgotten photograph in a photo album. I can’t put a name to someone is said when you halfrecognizea person but you can’t quite remember his name.15 Better to leave a biography as thick as a whale omelette than an epitaph. (Para 14) An omelette is flat round food made by mixing eggs together and cooking them. The expression as thickas a whale means extremely thick. The writer means it is better to leave a very large biography than anepitaph, or, in other words, live a full life which is worth writing about.Reading and understanding3 Choose the best summary of the passage.3 Life is short. So there’s no point in planning for a future which may never come. Now is the time to dowhat we want to do.

This is understandable since so many famous artists come from these regions. Many art museums are filled with paintings and drawings from European and North American artists from the past few hundred years. Allcountries, however, have a unique artistic heritage, so it should come as no surprise that countries throughout Africa and Asia have their own artistic styles and histories.Completely landlocked within Southern Africa, the nation of Botswana is particularly susceptible to cultural trends and influences from surrounding countries, chiefly South Africa. However, there is a burgeoning arts scene native to Botswana, and the country also has a long history of distinct artistic traditions.The oldest evidence of art in the country was found in the Tsodilo Hills, located in northwestern Botswana, in the Kalahari Desert. Dating to 1,000—2,000 years ago, these rock paintings form the highest concentration of rock art in the world and are considered sacred by the San minority culture. Today, the San are known for continuing the ancient arts of decorating ostrich eggshells for jewelry and creating ostrich eggshell beads, which they consider to represent good luck and good fortune. Archaeologists believe this type of bead to be the oldest-known man-made bead; they have been recovered at East and Southern African archaeological digs and dated to 28,000—45,000 years ago.The National Museum and Art Gallery in Gaborone is the centrepiece of modern art in the country. It is widely regarded as one of the best art galleries in Southern Africa; it holds regular exhibitions highlighting the work of local artists and also sponsors an annual celebration for local art and artists. The National Museum also acts as custodian for the cultural heritage and traditions of the country, the duties of which include preservation, education, and promotion. Twentieth and twenty-first century painters include Phillip Segola, Ann Gollifer, and Neo Matome.Spring in Gaborone, the capital city, sees the annual Maitisong Festival—the country's largest celebration of the performing arts. The festival includes free outdoor performances at city arenas as well as ticketed indoor events at Gaborone's theatres and arts venues. Performing arts organizations, such as the Mogwana Dance Troupe, are becoming more popular as more and more people embrace and wish to share their cultural heritage.Local handcrafts, supported in large part by the tourist trade, are generally of the utilitarian variety. Handwoven baskets, one of the specialties associated with Botswana, are of extremely high quality. Made almost exclusively in the Okavango region, they are woven with the leaves of the Mokolwane palm and utilize various roots and barks in order to give the baskets their unique colours and designs (typically associated with the nation's traditional lifestyle). Due to the abundance of cattle livestock, leatherwork has also developed as an important and widespread handcraft. Traditionally used to make clothing, blankets, and sleeping mats, leather is today more often used to make designer bags, belts, and accessories.41. Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?A. European art is superior to all other art.B. African art is superior to all other art.C. Every country has a unique artistic tradition.D. Art is only a modern creation.42. Which paragraph discusses the early history of art in Botswana?A. Paragraph 3.B. Paragraph 4.C. Paragraph 5.D.

The Internet is overwhelmingly a power for good. It provides cheap and easy access every moment of every day to a vast reservoir of information and entertainment and it is transforming the nature of commerce and government. However, with approximately one billion users worldwide accessing almost 75 million websites, there is bound to be some offensive, and even illegal, use of the net. There is a dark side to the Internet. It would be naive to deny it. Crime on the net takes many forms including hacking, viruses, fraud and so on.While the Washington State Attorney General's Office can help propose legislation to protect consumers against Internet crime and while we can fight Internet crime through ourhigh-tech unit using the state's Consumer Protection Act, when it comes to other types of crimes, our efforts are limited by the office's lack of original criminal jurisdiction (司法权).If you are a victim of an Internet crime, we encourage you to contact IC3—The Internet Crime Complaint Center—a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations.For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level, IC3 provides a central referral (参照) mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.The IC3 has received complaints crossing the spectrum (围) of cyber crime matters, to include online fraud in its many forms including Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) matters, computer intrusions (hacking), economic espionage (theft of trade secrets), online extortion, international money laundering, identity theft, and a growing list of Internet facilitated crimes.1.Which of the following is NOT true according to thepassage?A. The Internet can provide a large amount of information.B. The Internet is controlled by the government.C. There must be some offensive use of the Internet.D. It is innocent to deny the dark side of the Internet.2.How to describe IC3?A. It equals to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.B. It is a center where you can ask for help if you area victim of Internet crime.C. It is the combination of the FBI and NW3C.D. It is a center where you can find policeman to help youcatch the robbers.3.What is IC3's mission?A. It can accept, develop and refer criminal complaintsabout the net crime.B. It can keep all the record of the victims of on-lineattack.C. It provides professional suggestions for individualsto handle cyber crime.D. It sets up a special mechanism only for authorities.4.What kind of regulatory agency is NOT mentioned in thepassage?A. state agencyB. federal agencyC. rural agencyD. local agency5.What can you conclude from the passage?A. Net crime is not so popular at this moment.B. FBI is a center which can deal with the net crime.C. Cyber crime has many forms.D. We can depend on IC3 to fight against all the crimes. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. Viruses, in the broadest sense, come in three forms. Virus: This is a code that attaches itself to a program in a computer and then reproduces itself. It can erase files or lock up a system. Worm: This is similar to a virus but does not attach itself to files or programs in a computer. This leaves it free to spread through a network on its own. Trojan horse: This is a program that performs malicious actions while pretending to do something else. It is similar to a virus but does not try to reproduce itself.The first PC virus—the Pakistani Brain virus—appeared in 1986. According to virus experts, as many as 200 new viruses are created every month. According to MessageLabs, in 2000 one in every 790 e-mails contained a virus; in 2001, the figure was one in every 380; and, in 2002, it was one in every 212. In 2002, the top three viruses were Klez.H, Yaha.e and Bugbear.The most prolific virus ever is Klez and MessageLabs estimates that one in every 300 e-mails sent today contains a variation of the Klez virus. However, it is believed that there are around 20,000 different computer viruses in existence, many of them placed on the Internet deliberately to cause confusion or damage.The threat of new, self-propagating (自动传输) viruses is growing. Melissa, ExploreZip and Ska-Happy99 forward themselves by hijacking a computer e-mail program which gives them the potential to attack globally in days. The Melissa virus originated by David Smith in March 1999 and named after one of his favorite strippers is believed to have cost businesses world-wide an estimated $385 million in damage to their systems. It led to Smith receiving 20 months in prison and a $5,000 fine. The infamous Love Bug virus of 2000 infected 45 million people in a single day and went on to cause a staggering $8.75 billion in damage. In 2001, we had the SirCam virus which, although more irritating than dangerous, still caused businesses $1.15 billion in damage.6.Which of the following is NOT true according the firstparagraph?A. Worm can not attach itself to files in a computer.B. Viruses usually come in three forms.C. Virus can move away files or lock up a system.D. Trojan horse can reproduce itself freely.7.In 2001, almost one in every ________________ e-mails maycontain a virus.A. 200B. 212C. 380D. 7908.What does "prolific" (Para 3, Line 1) mean?A. activeB. progressiveC. popularD. productive9.Which of the following is TURE about Melissa?A. It first appeared in March 1999.B. It cost $5,000 million in damage to the world business.C. It infected 45 million people in a single day.D. It caused a staggering $8.75 billion in damage.10.What is the most suitable title to the passage?A. How to Defend Viruses.B. The New Viruses.C. An Introduction to Viruses.D. The Most Prolific Virus.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog. One of the most common types of fraud on the Internet is designed to trick users of certain sites into disclosing their passwords or other confidential information needed to access their accounts. A common means of doing this is to e-mail customers advising that it is necessary to check or confirm their password by clicking onto a realistic but fake website and then inputting the confidential information. It is then possible for money to be fraudulently transferred from the individual's account.In the autumn of 2003, this type of fraud was perpetrated against UK customers of Barclays, Nat West, Lloyds TSB, Citibank, Halifax and Nationwide. In fact, no bank of financial institution would ever ask a customer to disclose confidential information in this way.Another type of fraud which fortunately is not common because of the expert knowledge required is called "packet reading". This involves hackers locating patterns of data, such as credit card digits, intercepting and copying them.Another practice known as ramming involves charging a customer for extras on top of a for which they have signed up. Awell-known case of this kind involved the company Xpics which ran a network that included a variety of pornography (色情) sites and offered a free trial membership on the provision (条款) of credit card details allegedly to prove that the customer was over 18. Cancelling the subscription then provedhorrendously (可怕的) difficult.A much more common type of fraud relates to online auction trading. This involves a registered seller on an established website building up a reputation, then listing for auction items which he does not possess, and finally vanishing with the winning bidder's payments.In August 2000, it was reported that US authorities were investigating a credit card fraud at Flooz., one of the best known purveyors (承办商) of an online currency. It was believed that the company had been defrauded of some $300,000 by a ring of credit card thieves operating out of Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe.11.Which of the followings will NOT happen in the fraud onthe Internet?A. The users may receive e-mails to ask them checkpassword.B. The users may be attracted to click onto a realisticbut fake website.C. The users are forced to answer all the questions on thewebsite.D. The users are deceived to input their confidentialinformation.12.What does "was perpetrated against" (Para 2, Line 1) mean?A. deceivedB. foughtC. talked toD. penetrated13.What is "packet reading"?A. It involves writing e-mails.B. It refers to locating the websites.C. It is a kind of expert knowledge.D. It requires users' telephone number.14.________________ involves charging the users for extras.A. Packet readingB. Online auction tradingC. RammingD. Online currency15.What is the most suitable title for the passage?A. Internet FraudB. Online TradeC. Ramming and Packet ReadingD. Online CrimeQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.As technology changes and millions of people have access to the internet the possibility of Internet crime grows. Crime may occur in the form of fraud, identity theft and online stalking. Parents should be aware that children are vulnerable to online predators that may use the Internet to lure children into inappropriate chat rooms or in-person meetings. There are ways to protect yourself and your family from becoming a victim of Internet crime.Install anti-spyware and antivirus software. Spyware is hidden programs that run on your computer. They monitor what you are doing online without you realizing it. It can lead to identity theft. Anti-spyware helps prevent spyware from being used. Also install antivirus software to prevent your computer from being infected with a virus.Turn on your firewall. This helps prevent hackers from getting information such as passwords to bank accounts and other information they could use to steal funds or steal your identity.Monitor the websites your children go to. Put your computer in a location where you can keep an eye on what they are doing online. Use software that blocks children from going to inappropriate websites. Set rules and limits for Internet use.Talk with your children about online predators. Teach children not to engage in online chats with adults and never to give out their address to someone they meet online. Warn them never to meet someone in person they meet online. Tell children to talk to you about anything that happens inappropriate to them online.Go to the FBI website to learn about Internet scams (诈骗). They keep the public informed about current scams that may be circulating online. They also have information on how to avoid online identity theft and investment fraud.Use secured websites when purchasing items online and giving credit card numbers. Be wary of solicitations for donations. Check out charities before giving money.16.What does"lure" (Para 1Sentence 3)mean?A. inviteB. forceC. attractD. defend17.How to definespyware?A.
