Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me aroun d 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”,two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out ot her people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.81 when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA arrange the meeting place beforehandB postpone fixing the place till last minuteC seldom care about when and where to meetD still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA TALKERSB the "speakeasy"C the “spacemaker”D texters83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA quite revealingB well writtenC unacceptable by othersD shocking to others84 according to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A TalkersB T he “speakeasy”C T he “spacemaker”D Texters85 an appropriate title for the passage might beA The SMS effectB Cultural implication of mobile useC Change in the use of the mobileD Body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class”--are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is – inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a top priority, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. Both of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve job-security, combined with a general rise in the standard of living since the mid-fifties of the 20th century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in previous generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gapbetween the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups. 86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A Life style and occupationB Attitude and incomeC Income and job securityD Job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of__is closer to truth?A middle –class ways of spending moneyB working-class ways of spending the weekendC working-class drinking habitsD middle-class attitudes88 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a typical feature of the middle -class?A Desiring for securityB Making long-term plansC Having priorities in lifeD Saving money89 Working-class people's sense of security increased as a result of all the following factors EXCEPTA better social securityB more job opportunitiesC higher living standardD better legal protection.90.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowing.C Differences in income will remain but those in occupation will disappear.D Middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people.TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenl y turned, and asked me, “do you think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‘No, sir.”“A h, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, I’m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that,”“No, you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly,“Yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different.I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn’t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Don’t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “you don’t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You’re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll fly very high. Good night.”91. At the beginning Miss Eyre 's impressions of Mr.Rochester were all EXCEPTA busyB sociableC friendlyD changeable92. In "....and all my knowledge of him was li mited to occasional meetings about the house,…”(the second paragraph), the word “about” meansA aroundB onC outsideD concerning.93. Why did Mr.Rochester say" ..and the you stab me in the back!" (the 7th paragraph)?.A Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.B Because Jane had intended to be more critical.C Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.D Because Jane had said something else to correct herself.94. From what Mr.Rochest told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted toA tell her all his troubles.B tell her his life experience.C change her opinion of him.D change his circumstances.95. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester soundedA rudeB coldC friendlyD encouraging.TEXT DThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the machine would appear to be charming, and easygoing.Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal friendships. The machine would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96. Which of the following is NOT a feature of the ideal companion machine?A Active in communicationB Attractive in personality.C enjoyable in performance.D unpredictable in behaviour97. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a (n)___ way.A quickB unpredictableC productiveD inconspicuous.98. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B Being sensitive to earlier contact.C Being ready to learn about the person's life.D Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.99Throughout the passage, the author is ____ in his attitude towards the computerA favourableB criticalC vagueD hesitant100. Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A Artificial relationships .B How to form intimate relationshipsC The affectionate machineD Humans and computers。

土木工程专业英语课后题答案汇编

英译汉Lesson One Sandcrete is a yellow-white building material made from Portland cement and sand in a ratio of circa 1:8.It is the main building material for walls of single-storey buildings (such as houses and schools)in countries such as Ghana and Nigeria. Measured strengths fo commercially available Sandcrete blocks in Nigeria were found to be between 0.5 and 1 N/mm2,which is well below the 3.5 N/mm2that is legally required there. This may be due to the need of the manufacturers to keep the price low,and since the main cost-factor is the Portland cement, they reduce that, which results in a block that starts behaving more like loose sand.翻译:sandcrete是黄白色建筑材料制成的波特兰水泥和沙子的比例大约1:8.it是主要的建筑墙体材料的单层建筑(如房屋和学校)在加纳和尼日利亚等国家。
测量优势的商用sandcrete块在尼日利亚被发现之间的0.5和1牛顿/毫米,这是远远低于3.5牛顿/毫米,是法律所要求的有。
这可能是由于需要的厂家保持价格低,因为主要cost-factor是波特兰水泥,他们减少,从而在一块,开始表现得更像松砂。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AIn the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.Texting changes people as well. In thei r paper, “insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice. They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaki ng on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk .881. When people plan to meet nowadays, theyA. arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC. seldom care about when and where to meetD. still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82. According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen on ______.A. talkersB. the "speakeasy" C . the “spacemaker” D. texters83. We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA. quite revealingB. well writtenC. unacceptable by othersD. shocking to others84. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A. talkersB. the speakeasyC. the spacemakerD. texters85. An appropriate title for the passage might be_____.A. the SMS effectB. cultural implication of mobile useC. change in the use of the mobileD. body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is “working -class” or “middle -class” are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is – inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provide him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There9seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.86. Which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A. life style and occupationB. Attitude and incomeC. income and job securityD. job security and hobbies87. The writer seems to suggest that the description of __________is closer to truth?A. middle –class ways of spending moneyB. working-class ways of spending the weekendC. working-class drinking habitsD. middle-class attitudes88. According to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class?A. desiring for securityB. Making long term plansC. having priorities in lifeD. saving money89. Working -class people's sense of security increased as a result of all the following factor except_________.A. better social securityB. more job opportunitiesC. higher living standardD. better legal protection.90. Which of the following statement is incorrect?A. Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B. The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowingC. different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappearD. middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class peopleTEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “do you think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‘No, sir.”“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, I’m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that,”10 “N o, you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appe arance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He s eemed to read my mind, and said quickly,” yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty -one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wis er. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn’t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Don’t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “You don’t relax or laugh very much; perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You’re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll fly very high. Good night.”91. At the beginning miss Eyre’s impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except _________A. busyB. sociableC. friendlyD. changeable92. I n "....and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about the house,…”.the word about means_________A. aroundB. onC. outsideD. concerning93. Why did Mr. Rochester say “..and the you stab me in the back!” the (7thpara.)?A. Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knifeB. Because Jane had intended to be more critical.C. Because Jane had regretted having talked to himD. Because Jane had said something else to correct herself.94. From what Mr. Rochester told miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to________A. tell her all his troublesB. tell her his life experience.C. change her opinion of himD. change his circumstances95. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded________A. rudeB. coldC. friendlyD. encouraging.TEXT DThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress toa more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would addits own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing11 or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96. Which of the following is not a feature of the ideal companion machine?A. Active in communicationB. Attractive in personality.C. Enjoyable in performanceD. Unpredictable in behavior97. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a (n) _______way.A. quickB. unpredictableC. productiveD. inconspicuous.98. Which of the following aspects is not mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A. Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B. Being sensitive to earlier contact.C. Being ready to learn about the person's lifeD. Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.99. Throughout the passage, the author is _____in his attitude toward the computerA. favorableB. criticalC. vagueD. hesitant100. Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A. Artificial relationships.B. How to form intimate relationshipsC. The affectionate machineD. Humans and computersPART VI WRITING [45 MIN.]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN.]Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou ,Xi 'an, Chengdu , Shanghai , Wuhan, Nanjing ,and Shenyang .

一、将下述四个汉语句子翻译成英语(每小题5分,共20分)
答:建筑学是建筑物的艺术。事实上,建筑学涉及到人类使用的一切空间和环境。在特定建筑物中开展的精细活动-从工厂的装配线到住宅中的客厅,都应该规定其几个区域的尺寸和形状。这些空间也应该按相互间的某种逻辑关系来排列。此外,人类在建筑物中的运动-以建筑术语来说的循环“运动”需要大厅,楼梯,或电梯等设施,这些设施的尺寸受预期的通道所支配。结构设计-建筑师首先要考虑的问题,是将这些不同用途的空间进行功能分区以实现建筑意图。良好的设计方案,显然关系到大厦中几个单元,引导来宾到达结构中的目的地,并潜意识地给人以深刻的印象。相反,一个坏的设计导致不方便,浪费和视觉混乱。
答:Architecture calls for good proportions—a pleasing relationship of voids to solids, of height to width, of length to breadth.

4、Architecture is the art of building. Virtually all architecture is concerned with the enclosure of space for human use. The precise activities to be housed in any specificbuilding—rangingfroman assembly linein a factorytoa living room in a home—should dictate the size and shape of the several areas within. These spaces also must be arranged in some logical relation to each other. Furthermore, the movement of human beings within the building—“circulation” in architecturalparlance(n.谈话,说法,用法)—requires halls, stairs, or elevators whose size is governed by the expected load of traffic. The plan of a structure, always the first consideration of an architect, is the resolution of these different purposes into an organization of spaces that will fulfill the intent of the building. Good planning guides the visitor to his destination in the structure and impresses him, perhapssubconsciously(潜意识地), byvisibly(显然)relating the several units of theedifice(大厦,大建筑物).Conversely, a bad plan results in inconvenience, waste, and visual confusion.
