期末加油呀UNIT 3Unit testA C A C BB B D A CC BD D DIn the tow n where I grew up, there were two creeks running through it. I n the 1) win ter, I'd trap muskrats, and we also skated a lot. Rocky Fork Creek ran a great distanee, and we'd 2) literally skate for miles. Big Walnut Creek on the other hand was where more folks from the 3) community came to skate socially. It was a much 4) wider creek. We'd have bon fires there and had some great hockey games, too.My friend, Zeke, had 6 5) siblings and every kid in the family had their own horse, so we'd go to Zeke's and ride through the 6) woods and meadows. Zeke would pull us on sleds using his dad's tractor. In the summer, we'd 7) explore the creeks, and I'd be 8) catching s nakes and frogs, and fishi ng.In the summer my family and I traveled to Butler, PA to visit my grandparents. We would play golf or at ni ght we all played cards. Gran dpa would take me fish ing and he and I 9) would run erra nds all around town in his red old car. On Friday nights he and I watched the Gillette Fights.My family and I also spe nt two weeks each summer at Conn eaut Lake Park. There was a huge three-story hotel whose grou nds were really beautiful. The park also had a small 10) golf course, and a midway, and I recall we could ride all the rides in the amusement park for only $2 on Wednesdays. I'd get up and go fishi ng in a n earby canal before the rest of the family awoke.UNIT 4Con versati onsD B C A DB C D BPassagesB C A DScien tific research should improve our overall quality of life. The gover nment should provide financial and political support to any research that is likely to result in immediate and sig ni fica nt ben efits for the people. However, people's ideas 1)vary whe n it comes to whether the government should support scientific research with no practical use. Still 2) a large portion of people believe that the gover nment should distribute adequate funds to any scientific research that aims to improve the 3)well-being of people, even if it is of no practical use in the short run.Scien tific research whose social ben efits are immediate, predictable, and 4)profo und should con ti nue to be a high priority. For example, biotech no logy research has bee n prove n to help cure and preve nt diseases; in formati on tech no logy en ables educati on to be more 5) accessible; and com mun icatio n tech no logy facilitates global peace by improv ing mutual un dersta nding among people and their participati on in the democratic process.However, this is not to say that research whose ben efits are less immediate or clear should be given a lower priority. It is difficult to predict which research will 6)ultimately lead to the greatest con tributi ons to society. Relucta nee to finance less practical scie ntific research could 7)have a harmful effect on the efforts to explore new kno wledge. This is particularly true of the computer scie nces. For in sta nee, before the first computer was inven ted, public opinions 8)we nt aga inst it, as most people saw nothing practical in computer research. However, computers tran sformed the way huma n society evolved and proved to be of great avail in the long run, especially in terms of scientific development in fields such as the military, medicine, 9)aviation, and education.Therefore, n ever should we think that scie ntific research whose ben efits are unknown 10)is not worth purs uing since the purpose of any research should be to discover truths, whatever it might be.Unit testB C A C DC CD A DD A B A AThis might be an importa nt scie ntific breakthrough. A scie ntist set out to improve the productivity ( 生产力)of farm animals and along the way set off a 1) biological earthquake. The experiment he 2) firmly pursued ( 从事)involved work with a cell from an adult mammal. His 3) efforts were to make a cell behave like a cell from a developing embryo ( 胚月台).And it was successful. He and his coworkers cloned a sheep called Dolly and in troduced her to a skeptical world in February 1997.Perhaps it was his 4) isolation in a quiet rural part of Scotland that permitted him to resist the 5) objectors. Or perhaps it was the isolation of the remote field of farm animals that gave him the 6) originality. However, he seemed as surprised as anyone else that his 7) modest and simple experiment should have a great impact on our sense of what it is to be huma n. He wan ted to use his cloning tech no logy to 8) improve the health, the quality, and the productivity of farm ani mals. Any experime nt with huma ns, he believed, should always be kept strictly at the very low level of cells and prote in s. It would be 9) morally un acceptable, he said, to use his tech ni que to create a huma n clone. Of course, this achievement would bring fear, debate and new 10) legislation in countries around the world. In a word, Dolly the sheep has cha nged the world.UNIT 5Liste ningUse the skills 2.3And I've always (1)fashion, so the idea that I could go to fashion shows in Paris, NewYork, etc. was just (2)amaz ing for me. What I did n't realize is that actually being amodel1.loved7 hardis really, really (3) work.2. And the problem is that you n eed to (1)look good all the time.

In 99 out of 100 cases, employees may 1) suffer from low spirits and the n gradually become no Ion ger 2) en thusiastic about their jobs just because they have a boss who does n't approve of them, does n't liste n to them, or gen erally 3) erodes their self-esteem.Three basic skills that every man ager should use in order to be 4) compete nt on the job are: being specific, enhancing others' self-esteem and listening effectively. Being specific means givi ng 5) clear-cut in structi ons about what is to be done and the results to be achieved. Being specific also means describing the behavior of people rather than 6) labeli ng people. It in cludes giv ing both positive feedback that tells them what to repeat and corrective feedback that is firm, yet not critical. Then it 7) comes down to evoking in the employees self-esteem. Self-esteem is a private, in dividual matter. It is not fixed, but goes up and dow n from day to day, or eve n from hour to hour. Thus, buildi ng self-esteem is no easy task. Man agers can't MAKE people feel good about themselves, but rather, they n eed to help people develop their own self-esteem as self-esteem is like a door that's locked from the in side. A final skill that today's man agers n eed more tha n ever is liste ning.Liste ning may seem like a 8) com mon place skill, but it's not practiced as much as it should be in bus in ess today. People 9) tend to think about what they are going to say in resp onse whe n ano ther pers on is talk ing, in stead of 10) focus ing on what that pers on is say ing and what he / she means.Unit testA C AB BD C A B BA C A A DDo you happen to know something about the police? In police work, you can never 1) predict the next crime or problem. No working day is 2) identical to any other. So there is no "3) typical" day for a police officer. Some days are relatively slow, and the job is 4) boring; other days are so busy that there is no time to eat. I think I can describe police work in one word: 5) variety. Sometimes it's 6) dan gerous. One day, for example, I was working on a special assignment; that is, I was on the job, but I was weari ng 7) n ormal clothes, not my police uniform. I was tryi ng to catch8) some robbers who were steali ng from people as they walked dow n the street. Suddenly, seven bad menjumped out at me; one of them had a knife, and we got into a fight. Ano ther policema n arrived, and the two of us 9) captured three of the men; but the other four ran away. Ano ther day, I helped a woman who was going to have a baby. She was trying to get to the hospital, but there was a bad traffic jam. I put her in my police car to get her there faster. I thought she was going to have the baby 10) right ______________________________________________________ there in my car. But fortunately, the baby waited to "arrive" until we got to the hospital.UNIT 6Con versati onsC A B A BA C C BA DB BThe Sultana was a Mississippi River steamboat destroyed in an explosion on April 27,1865. An 1) estimated 1,800 of the 2,400 passengers were killed, and the Sultana sank not far from Memphis, Tennessee. This disaster received little public attention, as it took place soon after the Preside nt Abraham Lincoln was 2) assass in ated.The woode n steamboat was con structed in 1863 and 3) was inten ded to be used for the lower Mississippi cotton trade. Registering 1,719 tons, the steamboat was built to carry no more tha n 365 people. For two years, it ran a regular route betwee n St. Louis and New Orlea ns. Sometimes it was asked to carry troops.The Sultana left New Orleans on April 21, 1865. Most of the passengers were Union soldiers who had recen tly bee n 4) released from Con federate pris on camps. The US gover nment had 5) made a con tract with the Sulta na to tran sport these former pris onersof war back to their homes in the n orth.At 2 a.m. on April 27, about seve n miles n orth of Memphis, at least one boiler 6) gave way, caus ing a huge explosi on that destroyed the cen ter portion of the boat, throw ing sleep ing men high into the air before landing in the river. Con fusi on and chaos 7) en sued as men tried to save themselves and others. Many drow ned while others bur ned to death.The direct cause of the explosi on was later determ ined to be the leaky and poorly repaired steam boiler. Passengers who 8) survived the initial explosion had to risk their lives in the icy water of the Mississippi or burn with the ship. Many died of drow ning or cold ness.Bodies of 9) victims con ti nued to be found dow nriver for mon ths. Many were n ever recovered. Some of the Sulta na's crew, i ncludi ng the captai n, were among those who 10) perished.Unit testC B A C DC CD A BC AD C DIn the middle of the eighteenth century, France and Britain clashed in a conflict that has come to be known as the French and In dia n War. Fre nch and In dia n soldiers, sensing their mutually 1) beneficial situation in the American frontier, pulled together. And they 2) fought against British forces. But the powerful British Empire briefly 3) strengthened its hand in North America with victory in this struggle. The Fre nch slowly 4) pulled out of North America. The British, for their 5) part, determ ined to hand over a great piece of la nd. They decided that the territory west of the Alleghe ny Mountains and no rth of the Ohio River should 6) serve as a large Indian settlement closed to general settlement by English coloni sts.By 1783 the America n Revoluti on had produced an 7) amazing cha nge of fortu ne in North America. The Un ited States of America 8) stood as a new n ati on while British soldiers retreated to the no rthwest (today's Michiga n and Ohio).America ns eyed these Ian ds, which the British had 9) sought to give away to the In dia ns in the area. As America ns moved westward into the new fron tier, they replaced the French and In dia n "middle grou nd" social agreeme nts with a system of law emphasiz ing private property, farm ing, and eve ntually in dustrial developme nt. Cultural ideals that promoted Christia n 10) civilization, marked In dia ns as animals, andcreated a firm distinction in sex roles in this new system.UNIT 7Con versati onsC A BD BD A B DPassagesB A A CResearch shows a close relati on betwee n readi ng speed and un dersta nding that in most cases an in crease in rate 1) was accompa nied by an in crease in comprehe nsion and a decrease in rate brought decreased comprehe nsion with it. However, simply speedi ng the rate especially through forced 2) acceleratio n may actually result i n making the real readi ng problem more 3) severe. The obvious soluti on, the n, is to in crease rate as a part of a total 4) en deavor / en deavour of the whole readi ng process. Then how?You can prepare for maximum in crease in rate by establishi ng 5) practicable habits, such as avoidi ng rereadi ng and whisperi ng while read in g, lear ning to adjust readi ng rate to in crease comprehe nsion.Rate adjustme nt may be overall adjustme nt, or in ternal adjustme nt within an article. As an6) analogy, imagine that you plan to take a 100-mile mountain trip in three hours, averagi ng about 35 miles an hour. This is your overall rate adjustme nt. However, i n actual driv ing you may slow dow n to 15 miles per hour on some curves, while 7) speedi ng up to50 miles per hour on relatively straight secti ons. This is your internal rate adjustme nt.Poor results are in evitable if the reader 8) attempts use the same rate for all types of material and for all read ing purposes. A good reader adjusts his / her readi ng rate from article to article, or even with in a give n article. So you n eed to 9) foster a good readi ng habit by daily training un til a flexible read ing rate becomes 10) sec ond n ature to you.Unit testB A AC AThe first step in stopp ing drug use is lear ning why people start using drugs. The reasons people use drugs are as 1) different as people are from one ano ther. But there seems to be one com mon 2) thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel 3) nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People ofte n feel better about themselves whe n they are un der the in flue nee of drugs. But the 4) effectsdon't last long. Drugs don't 5) solve problems. They just hide them. No matter how far drugs maytake you, it's always a 6) round trip. After a while, people who miss drugs mayfeel 7) worse about themselves, and the n they may use more drugs. If some one you know is using drugs, you can help. You can let your friends know that you care. You can liste n and 8) try to solve the problem beh ind your friend's need to use drugs. Twopeople together can often solve a problemthat seems too big for one person alone. Therefore, the most important 9) part that you can play is to be there. Studies of heavy users in theUn ited States show that they felt unlo ved and unwan ted. They did n't have close frie nds to talk to. When you or your frie nds 10) take the time to ____________ care for each other, you're all help ing to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a frie nd for?UNIT 8Con versati onsA C D A AD B C DPassagesA C C DThe most useful bit of the media is disappearing. In North America, newspapers are now an 1) endan gered species. The bus in ess of selli ng words to readers and selli ng readers to advertisers, which has susta ined their role in society, is 2) falli ng apart.Of all the old media, newspapers have the most to lose from the Internet. Circulation has bee n falli ng in many coun tries. But in the past few years the Web has haste ned the decli ne. In his book The Vanishing Newspaper , Philip Meyer 3) calculates that the first quarter of 2043 will be the moment when newsprint dies in America as the last exhausted reader 4) tosses aside the last crumpled ( 弄皱的)edition.Advertis ing is followi ng readers who 5) turn to the Intern et. The rush is inten se, largely because the Internet is an attractive medium that 6) un precede ntedly matches buyers with sellers and proves to advertisers that their money is well spent. In Switzerland and the Netherlands newspapers have lost half their 7) classified advertising to the Internet.Newspapers have not yet started to 8) shut dow n in large nu mbers, but it is only a matter of time. Over the n ext few decades half of North America's gen eral papers may fold.Jobs are already disappearing. According to the Newspaper Association of America, the number of people employed in the newspaper industry fell by 9) approximately 18 percent between 1990 and 2004. Moreover, this year Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, attacked the NewYork Times Company, because its share pricehad falle n by n early 50 perce nt in four years.This maysuggest, to someextent, that tumbling shares of listed newspaper firms have prompted 10) fury from investors.Unit testA AB D CB DC C AB C A D CFor many of us, com muni cat ing used to mean sending letters and cards through the mail and gett ing no resp onse un til weeks later. We'd pass 1) hand-written notes to frie nds in class. We'd pick up the teleph one —pay ing for 2) Ion g-dista nee calls —and could only talk to one pers onat a time. On top of that, there were no 3) answering machines to leave messages if a pers on was n't home, or Caller ID to 4) scree n calls if we did n't feel like pick ing up the phone. And pay phones were the only 5) option to call home if our car broke down on the side of the road, or if we had to stay after school. For the past decade or so, tech no logy has 6) transformed the way we com muni cate, in part due to the use of the Intern et. In stead of 7) maili ng letters, we're writi ng e-mails through Gmail or Win dows Live Hotmail that can be sent 8) in sta ntly to the recipie nt (接受者). Weca n eve n add multiple recipie nts to these e-mails, so that more than one person can read them. Even more, we can send greeting cards over the Web. And no postage is n eeded! Sending a note to a frie nd can be done 9) in a matter of sec onds. We are no Ion ger bound toIon g-dista nee charges, either. Mobile pho nes have become a 10) god-sen ____ gift, letting us place calls no matter where we are. And text messaging has become an efficie nt way to get a short message across, such as "Meet you there at 8" or "I'll be home late."。
