大学英语（二）第三阶段一、阅读理解1.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the ori gin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike ani mals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, a ctions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and t hat later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Thos e sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they b ring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by exp erience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the mo re the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also expres s these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emoti ons. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary sty le. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his mea ning in words which sing like music and which by their position and asso ciation can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our w ords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech sil ly and vulgar.纠错(1)(4分)The origin of language is _________.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved答案D 解析(2)(4分)What is true about words _______A.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pa in during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions a re fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operatio n felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time l aughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn' t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teet h. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pu lled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the ma n died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.纠错(1)(4分)It is not long since a man felt all the pain while being operated.A. TB.

He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore 1 to fail, and the fa ilure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 2 illustrates this. Whe n he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the ide a that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she th ought that they would not expect too much of him. 3 this way, they too d eveloped the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was usele ss to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 4 of the other studen ts had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the ide a that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new 5 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purp ose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.纠错(1)1A. foundB. noneC. likelyD. InE. which 答案C 解析(2)(2分)2A. foundB. noneC. likelyD.

Titanic2、阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分）第一篇：The flag, the most common symbol(象征) of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的)artifact. It is , rather, the product of thousands of years' development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.1.The best title for the passage would be .A. Development of the National FlagB. Power of the National MottoC. Types of NationsD. Uses of Totems2.The underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 means .A. impossible to make sure ofB. likely to be protectedC. easy to damageD. difficult to find3.The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because. .A. they could tell one’s fortuneB. they could bring good money to fightersC. they were handed down by the ancestorsD. they were believed to stand for natural forces4.What does the author know of the first national flag?A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.B. He believes it was made in Egypt.C. He thinks it came from China.D. He doubts where it started.5.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B. The second ancestor of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of modern flags.第二篇：Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni （校友）who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives （档案馆）in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization.“After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron （中队）as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007.“I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ （阵亡）next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”6. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?A. A form of McKay.B. A story about McKay.C. A table of McKay.D. A picture of McKay.7. What did the students find out about McKay?A. He trained pilots for some time.B. He lived longer than other pilots.C. He died in the Second World War.D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.8. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in .A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England9. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .A. preferred fight to his studyB. went to war before graduationC. left a picture for Corey EverrettD. set an example for his fellow students10. What is the text mainly about?A. The research into war history.B. The finding of a forgotten hero.C. The wonderful pilots of the two world wars.D. The importance of military studies.第三篇：Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth . But when you use the phone , you don’t see the person you are talking with .

" However, most students today cannot reach these goals. One careful study has discovered that the undergraduates are spending less time in study -from about 25 hours per week in the early 1960s to below 15 hours today.Studying also leads to better college grades. To have better grades means higher chance ofbecoming "rich and wealthy." One study of 20, 000 alumni (校友)15 years after their graduation found the following results. Those who were in the top third of the class earned a lot more than those in the middle third. The middle third earned more than classmates in the bottom third. Not surprisingly, those whose grades were not good at college wished they had studied more in school. Whether students should study alone or with others is more complicated. If the teachers leave problems for students to solve, group study is often helpful if students first try to study by themselves. But simply getting together with classmates without first studying alone seem bad for learning. In choosing courses, many students prefer classes with a little homework and easy grading. Yet taking harder courses with longer readings and more papers helps to increase learning.In college, there will still be plenty of time for fun. Once again, however, researchers find that not all outside activities are good. In general, activities, such as participating in student organizations and talking with classmates can be more fruitful.Last but not least, college is a wonderful place to have new interests, enrich your experience,and set your goals. In doing so, you might think again about whether "being rich and wealthy" should be your main reason for studying in college. According to several investigators, money seekers are usually less satisfied with their lives. Maybe they are more likely to neglect things that are more important, such as family, friends and work.1. The majority of students go to college with the goal of ___________.A. serving the countryB. earning much moneyC. becoming famousD. seeking fun2. Compared with the students in the early 1960s, today's undergraduates spend ____less on study.A. 15B. 25C. 10D. 403. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Grades do affect the chances of becoming rich.B. Those who got top grades in college wished they had studied harderC. Studying alone before getting together in a group can be helpful for students.D. Challenging courses can give the students more benefit than the easy ones.4. Which of the following activities is beneficial for college students?A. Watching TV.B. Playing with the computer.C. Serving in student organizations.D. Talking with online friends.5. Why do people who focus on making money feel less satisfied with life?A. Because they don't have other hobbies.B. Because they are single-minded.C. Because they are lonely.D. Because they take less care of families and friends. BCBCDWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and transmit their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest,Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks,making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.1. Which is the closest meaning of the word "transmit" in Paragraph 1?A. ChangeB. pass onC. exchangeD. support2.The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees.A.depend on each otherpete for survivalC.protect their own wealthD.provide support for dying trees3. "Mother trees"are extremely important because they___________.A.look the largest in size in the forestB.seem more likely to be cut down by humansC.pass on nutrition to young treesD.know more about the complex"tree societies"4. The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to _______.A.how"tree societies"workB.how trees grow oldC.how forestry industry developsD.how young trees survive5. Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT according to the passage?A. Trees communicate with each other more deeply than we think.B. Nitrogen and carbon play very important roles in the forest ecological system.C. When "mother trees" are cut down, we are reducing the chances of survival for the forest.D. We couldn't make efforts for the future environmental protection.BACAD四、30分中国人从小就相信英雄得具有大无畏和自我牺牲精神(self-sacrifice)。

accident.It is necessary to give you a bloodtransfusion because you lost a great deal of bloodin the accident.However,special careshould be taken in selecting new blood for you.If the blood is too different from yourown,the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood:A,B,AB,and O.A simple test can indicate aperson’s blood type,which,like hair and height,is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type,the four groups must be transfusedcarefully.Basically,A and B cannot be mixed.A and B cannot receive AB,but AB mayreceive A or B.O can give to any other group;hence it is often called the universal donor.For the opposite reason,AB is sometimes called the universal recipient.However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only saltorplasma(liquid)until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank ofa hospital.In his way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality.AmongEuropeans and people of European ancestry, about42percent have type A while45percent have type O.The rarest is type AB.Other races have different percentages. Forexample,some American Indian groups have nearly100 percent type O.16.A good title for this passage is___C_______A)Getting Blood and Plasma B)Special Blood TypesC)Human Blood TypesD)The Blood Bank of a Hospital17.The word“hence”in line8means___C______A)always B)often C)therefore D)seldom18.In a blood transfusion,it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a personwith the blood type of____C___.A)A B)B C)AB D)O19.The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allowtime____B____.A)to test the reactions to the transfusionB)for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient’s blood.C)for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD)to select a new type of blood for the patient20.Most European have blood type_____D____A)A B)B C)O D)A or OPassage3An old woman walked into a clothes shop.She asked the salesgirl to let her have a look at a new dresson display,but the girl stood still behind the counter,taking no notice of the request(要求).The oldwoman spoke to the girl again,raising her voice a bit,but still received no answer.The old womanlooked at the girl and said to herself:"I am too old to see well,I can't even tell a plastic model from areal girl!"On hearing this the rude salesgirl shouted at the old woman,"What?

One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even whenmaking life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky BusinessWe are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense."But Everybody Does It"Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating RisksTo decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits ("what's in it for me"), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a "0" on a test or assignment; an "F" in the class; suspension or dismissal from school; transcript notation; and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment:you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away With It--Or NotThose who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works. Cheating Hurts Others, TooCheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect. Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but __38__.a cheater says, "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach; all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a blatant and destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity MattersIf cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. __39__.We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, __40__.Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.31. A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______。

Unit 1 Education: A Transformation of the Soul1On my first day of high school, my teacher showed the class a Power Point presentation entitled The Value of Education. The first slide read simply this: “Education = $”. I felt uncomfortable, not knowing exactly why.2 Education, throughout my high school experience, continued to be described to me like this: college means a diploma. A diploma means a better job. A better job means more money. More money means a good life. But I wondered who had decided the criteria for a “better” job and a “good” life. It all seemed so mathematical. Education was presented to me as an equation equaling a person I had not chosen to be.重点单词的句子翻译：1.她读了一首题为《想起你》的诗。
(entitle)2.他给这本书取名为《野性的爱》。
(entitle)3.教育的关键在于激励和享受，而不是一所学校或一个大学文凭。
(diploma)4.那青年用了3 年的时间取得研究生文凭。
(diploma)5.我自己成功的标准是能够努力工作和快乐生活。
(criteria)3 I went on to college, of course, as everyone told me to do. College is how you become an earner, they told me. My major that first semester was International Relations. I liked the woman I envisioned myself as in this field – a diplomat, a savvy citizen of the world. But gradually I began to realize that this person was not someone I bore any resemblance to. She was, rather, a clone of the well-educated, well-moneyed ideal my teacher had presented to me years ago. This woman had earning potential; she was smart and worldly. But she was not someone I would become. She had nothing I really wanted.重点单词的句子翻译：1.我不敢想象他能做出这种可怕的事。
(envision)2.憧憬你理想的一天：囊括所有细节，从日出到日落。
(envision)3.每个公民都可以要求受到法律的保护。
(citizen)4.作为一个世界公民，他必须努力做到行事诚实正直。
(citizen)5.你所说的与事实相去甚远。
(resemblance)6. 她长得不像她母亲。
(resemblance)4 My moment of clarity soon came. I was watching a film with my family and laughing at all the historical errors in it, but I suddenly realized that there was something I did love, something I had brushed aside in my mind for years because it did not fit with the marketable, diploma-holding job applicant I had always assumed I should become.5I am, as it so happens, the daughter of passionate history buffs. My family never took vacations; we took field trips. I had not yet learned to walk when I first visited Abraham Lincoln’s house in Springfield, Illinois. Since then I have seen the homes of countless dead presidents. I have wandered through more museums than I can remember.6These memories are priceless to me; no matter how much I teased my parents about the fact that we never went to Disney World, I would not have changed our trips for anything in the world. I knew what education was, in my childhood, before someone damaged it with images of dollar signs. Education was how I had adventures. Education was my family’s escape.重点单词的句子翻译：1.她对野生花卉产生了浓烈的兴趣。
(passionate)2.她热烈倡导教育改革。
(passionate)3.游客们漫步穿过森林与田野去探索大自然。
(wander)4.诗人想独自漫游列国去寻找灵感。

(tease)6.我妹妹以前总嘲笑我的发型。
(tease)7.电影《加勒比海盗》是一部非常好看的惊险片。
(adventure)8. 无论他怎么努力,都无法说服朋友们放弃冒险。
(adventure)7 The truth is I love American history.
