对外经济贸易大学继续教育学院夜大教育部2010—2011学年第二学期2011级会计专业专升本《大学英语第三册》平时作业（二）班级：姓名：学号：成绩：Translate the following passages into Chinese:1.It is important to have easy and quick access to information, but it is even more important tolearn to look at/view information in new ways. A major medical breakthrough may illustrate the point. Scientists had intended to finds a cure for smallpox, but they got nowhere. Edward Jenner, a British physician, abandoned the quest for a cure and conquered the disease by finding a way to prevent it. Obviously, it was creative thinking that led to his fruitful work. In short, it definitely pays to keep this in mind: there is more than one way to look at/view volumes of data you download.2.Could you imagine a woman with a severe physical handicap running a website on her ownand covering the Los Angles Dodgers as extensively as a professional sportswriter? I would never believe it if I had not seen her with my own eyes, curled up in a wheelchair, typing her comments by hitting the key with a pointer fastened to her head. I had driven a long way in hopes of uncovering an elaborate hoax, but watching her strain in the gloom of her shanty to add to her story, I knew I had found a true winner. Her enthusiasm for the game and her trust in the athletes brought me back to a positive attitude.3.One beautiful evening in early March this year my family and I went to see the famousmusical The Phantom of the Opera at the Shanghai Grand Theater. Love is its theme; yet love in a love triangle. A young soprano named Christine attracts the attention of the phantom who, always wearing a mask, haunts the Paris Opera House, and he falls in love with her. However, Christine former childhood friend, now a handsome, wealthy young man, loves her, too. The plot unfolds around the three of them. The singing and acting were superb; all performed with passion while the chorus parts were done perfectly in tune. From beginning to end the performance was like a delicious banquet spread out/delicious food put in front of us. It was sheer joy, ending amid the thunderous applause of the audience.4.This is Conelrad. Remain tuned for an important message. The President of the United Stateshas just announced that the previously unidentified objects have now been definitely identified as being satellites. There are no enemy missiles approaching. The objects have been identified as satellites. They are harmless and we are in no danger. The state of emergency has officially been called off. We are in no danger. There is no enemy attack.There is no enemy attack.(Please write the translation on the other side of the paper.)。

Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.(1)、Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________A：People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B：People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C：Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D：Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city. (2)、With the same money ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A：getting a small flat with a garden B：having a small flat with a garden C：renting a small flat without a garden D：buying a small flat without a garden (3)、When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ________ has been rewarded. A：living in the country B：having spent time working in the gardenC：having a garden of his own D：having been digging, planting and watering(4)、People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.A：their life was meaningless B：their life was invaluableC：they didn't deserve a happy life D：they were not worthy of their happy life (5)、The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A：deal with B：do away withC：escape from D：prevent from2、A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend. I'd like to bring him home with me.""Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him.""There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine（地雷）and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.""We're sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.""No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.""Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.The grief-stricken（悲痛欲绝的）parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue（太平间）to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.(1)、The soldier called his parents from San Francisco after having fought in Vietnam. A：TB：F(2)、The soldier told his parents that he wanted them to meet his friend in the army. A：TB：F(3)、His father considered his plan unacceptable.A：TB：F(4)、A few days later the parents were told by the police that their son had killed himself.A：TB：F(5)、The son killed himself because he was unable to find a job.A：TB：F第三部分、词汇与结构1.

Both towns have many hotels; and in the summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, the following news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper, The Beldon Post:FIRE AT SEABREEZELate last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitor: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire in five years.The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRELast night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I turned my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tel l our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.What are the facts, then It is not easy to find out the exact truth about the fire.Now what do you think of the “news”16. Many people spend their summer holidays in Beldon and Canfield because the towns are .A.in the northB.by the seaC.in the mountainsD.on the island17. When the hotel caught fire, .A.the visitors went out swimmingB.there were no people in itC.there were few people in itD.there were many people in it18. Which of the following is probably a factA.The fire was in a bedroom at the hotel.B.A cigarette started the fire.C.An old lamp started the fire.D.Hotels in Beldon often catch fire.19. Which of these is probably a factA.Firemen hurried to the hotel and quickly put out the fire.B.Firemen were too late to save clothing, and some furniture at thehotel.C.Firemen went to the hotel.D.Firemen didn’t appear at the hotel.20.

During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women get married at a younger age and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work untilretirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to get married young, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more return afterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21. We are told that in an average family about 1890________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteen years younger than the oldestC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. the child death rate was rather high22. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.A. would expect to work until she diedB. was usually expected to take up paid employmentC. would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely23. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A. get married so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby24. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. get married while still at school25. The best title for this passage is ______________.A. Great Changes in Women’s LifeB. 19th-Century FamilyC. Modern Girls’ ChoiceD. Equal Duties in Family Life(3)Some radio signals were heard in 1967. They were coming from a point in the sky where there was no know star. They were coming very regularly too: about once a second. It was as if they were controlled by a clock.The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else.They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people. The signals were coming from a very small body----no bigger, perhaps, than the earth. Was that why no light could be seen from it Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star There was no end to the questions, but the scientists kept the news secret. “Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there,” theythought, “who are trying to send messages to other planets, or to us!” So the news was not given to the newspapers. Instead, the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them…Well, all that happened in 1967 and 1968. Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange, regular, radio signals. And they have told the story, of course. The signals do not come from a planet; they come from a new kind of star called a “pulsar”. About a hundred other pulsars have now been found, and most of them are very like the first one.Pulsars are strong radio stars. They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present. A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons. Their light----if they give much light----is too small for us to see. But we can be sure of this: no intelligent beings are living on them.26. The radio signals discussed in this passage .A.were regularB.were controlled by a clockC.were heard in 1967 onlyD.were secret messages27. The radio signals were sent by .A. a satelliteB. a planetC. a sky body which was unknown at that timeD. intelligent beings who were unknown at that time28. The scientists did not tell people about the signals because .A.the signals stood for secret messagesB.people would ask them too many questionsC.they did not want to frighten peopleD.they stood for unimportant messages29. A pulsar is .A.a small heavy star which sends out strong radio signals and cannotbe seenB.a small heavy planet which sends out strong radio signals andcannot be seenC.a small heavy satellite which sends out strong radio signals andcannot be seenD.a small intelligent being who sends out strong radio signals andcannot be seen30. Which of the following is trueA.One of the pulsars found by scientists sends radio signals.B.Pulsars began to send radio signals in 1967.C.Scientists have searched for pulsars for many years but found none.D.Scientists have found many pulsars since 1967.(4)The fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. In the United States, it is an annual (每年的) occasion to show thanks to God for his goodness.As a historical, national and religious holiday, Thanksgiving Day began with the English in Plymouth Colony. As far back as 1621, after a long bitter winter and the gathering of the first harvest, these early settlers shared a feast with the local Indians and offered prayers of thanksgiving. President Washington proclaimed (宣布) the first nationalThanksgiving Day to be celebrated on November 26, 1789. President Lincoln revived the custom in 1863.It was not until 1941 that the US Congress adopted a resolution, setting the fourth Thursday of November as an annual Thanksgiving Day. Thus what began as a religious celebration of the harvest has since become a nationwide holiday.Today Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day, celebrated with a traditional turkey dinner and a happy reunion. Schools are closed on Thanksgiving Day and the day after. Many people, including students studying in another state, often travel long distances to spend the holiday at home.31.

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words) 31. Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.( B)A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. If we complete the short-term goalsC. If we have dreams of the futureD. If we put forward some plans32. New short-term goals are built upon ____________. (D)A. a daily basisB. your achievement in a weekC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed33. When we complete each step of our goals, ____________. (C)A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we should build up confidence of successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals34. What is the main idea of this passage? ____________ (C)A Life is a dynamic thing. B. we should set up long-term goalsC. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.35. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ____________ (C)A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goalsB. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.Passage two 英法既爱又恨的关系Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac spea king out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥抱）, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. Howev er, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys（调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years o f ―doubtful friendship‖, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.36. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________. (D)A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate37. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain. (D)A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm38. The British are not so friendly to __( A)______ and the French are not so friendly to _ ( A)_____.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America39. ____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________. (D)A. American people…BritainB. British people … GermanyC. French people … BritainD. British people … France40. What does the last sentence mean? (C)A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.Passage 3 社区服务是我们大学中一个重要的组成部分Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors —he’ll be available to h elp you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week. (220 words)41. What is the purpose of the talk? ____________( B)A. To explain a new requirement for graduation.B. To interest students in a new community program.C. To discuss the problems of elementary school students.D. To recruit elementary school teachers for a special program.42. What is the purpose of the program that the speaker describes? ________(C)A. To find jobs for graduating students.B. To help education majors prepare for final exams.C. To offer tutorials to elementary school students.D. To provide funding for a community service project.43. What does Professor Dodge do? ____________( A)A. He advises students to participate in certain program.B. He teaches part-time in an elementary school.C. He observes elementary school students in the classroom.D. He helps students prepare their resumes.44. What should students who are interested in the tutorials do? ____________ (D)A. Contact the elementary school.B. Sign up for a special class.C. Submit a resume to the dean.D. Talk to Professor Dodge.45. Whom do you think the speaker addresses? ____________ ( B)A. Faculty.B. Students.C. ResidentsD. Graduated students.Passage FourMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering an d doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. （292 words）46. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ( B)A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.47. With the same money needed for (C) , one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden48. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______ has been rewarded.
