Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners.Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts to lower the risk of injury for people who are new to running.O Take it easy.Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance or speed.O Get good running shoes.There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.O Take good notes.Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.1. The writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph _A. good health comes from runningB. running is the best exerciseC. health problem can be solved by good exerciseD. not all exercise is equally good2. In the second paragraph, we know_____________ .A. a good habit of running may help you live longerB. the number of non-runners was getting smallerC. three quarters of 55,000 adults were new to runningD. Since D. number D. what D. whom C. decreasingly D. increasinglyD.the hope to live three years longer drives people to exercise3.Increases in distance or speed depend onA. what the fitness experts sayB. whether you have the best shoesC. how your body feelsD. why you start running4.The purpose of taking notes is to _____________ .A.remind you of where to have new shoesB.help you find the way of running that fits youC.take a rest between running daysD.help you do some research on exercise5.The passage is written to ____________ .A.provide information for the researchers to work betterB.warn the non-runners of the dangers in runningC.help runners exercise in a scientific wayD.encourage as many people as possible to join in runningPassage 2Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media - from televisions to video games, computers and other devices. So, it is natural that parents should wonder about the time children spend looking at a TV or computer screen. Americans say u screen time,, when they talk about any time children spend in front of an electronic device.Perhaps parents can stop worrying so much about screen time, at least for older boys and girls. In October 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) listed several suggestions for parents and child care workers. Here are some of the suggestions.•Avoid digital media use in children younger than 18 to 24 months.•For children aged 18-24 months, avoid letting the child watch media alone. And avoid using media as a way to comfort your child.•For children two to five years of age, allow one-hour screen time on u high-quality programming ”a day and watch it with your child.•For children aged 6 and older, don, t spend too much time using media. Also, make sure that screen time does not take the place of healthy sleep, exercising, doing homework and other activities. •Make sure to have media-free time together as a family, such as dinner or driving. Also make some areas of the home media-free. Turn off your child' s electronic devices an hour before bedtime.6.What is “ screen time ” according to Americans?A.A kind of timing system.B.A survey on electronic media.C.Any time children spend in front of electronic media.D.Any electronic device children like to play with.7.What did AAP do in 2016?A.They gave some practical suggestions.B.They told parents how to reduce their children' s screen time.C.They trained many child care workers.D.They raised much money to stop children using electronic devices.8.How do parents deal with the screen time for children two to five years of age?A.Choose proper programs and watch with them.B.Play with them for at least one hour.C.Avoid letting them watch TV.D.Don' t worry about them.9.How does AAP explain too much screen time?A.An hour or more every day.ing too many electronic devices.C.Screen time takes the place of other activities.ing electronic media to comfort the children.10.What is media-free time?A.It is the time you can use media freely.B.It is the time you cook or drive.C.It is the time to be with your family.D.It is the time you stay away from electronic devices.四、英译汉1.If you don' t breach the old rules of etiquette and say you want it, they won' t ask you again.2.As any child of immigrant parents knows, there is a special kind of double bind attached to knowing two languages.3.English speakers say Chinese is extremely difficult because different words can be denoted by very subtle variations in tone.4.Even more dangerous, in my view, is the temptation to view the gulf between different languages and behavior in translation.5.1worry about the power of language: If one says anything enough times, it might become true, with or without malicious intent.五、汉译英1.有的人甚至声称地球是一个活的生物体。

Title: The Evolution of Learning in the DigitalAgeIn the modern era, the landscape of education has undergone profound transformations, thanks to the advent of digital technology. The traditional classroom setting, where students passively listened to lectures, has given way to a more interactive and dynamic learning environment. This shift towards digital learning not only enhances the student experience but also prepares them for the challenges of the future workforce.Firstly, digital learning provides access to a vast repository of knowledge. The internet is a boundless ocean of information, and with the help of digital tools, students can explore topics beyond the confines of their textbooks. This expanded knowledge base allows them to delve deeper into subjects, fostering a culture ofcuriosity and exploration.Secondly, digital learning is highly interactive. With the use of online platforms and multimedia content, students can engage with their learning materials in a more engaging way. This interactivity not only makes learningmore fun but also helps in retention of information. For instance, interactive quizzes and games can help students revise their lessons in a more effective manner.Moreover, digital learning fosters collaboration and teamwork. Online platforms allow students to work togetherin real-time, sharing ideas and collaborating on projects. This collaborative learning experience prepares them forthe collaborative work environment they will encounter in their professional lives.However, while the benefits of digital learning are numerous, it is important to strike a balance. The human touch and personal connection provided by teachers cannotbe replaced by technology. Teachers play a crucial role in guiding students, motivating them, and addressing their individual needs. Therefore, a blended learning approach, where digital tools are used to enhance traditionalteaching methods, is perhaps the most effective way forward. In conclusion, the evolution of learning in the digital age has opened up new horizons for education. By harnessing the power of technology, we can create a more engaging, interactive, and collaborative learning environment thatprepares students for the challenges of the future. However, we must also remember that technology is merely a tool, and it is the human element that truly makes education shine.**数字化时代的学习演变**在现代社会，随着数字技术的出现，教育景观已经发生了深刻的变化。
大学英语3第一单元试题(含答案)
Online HomeWork_U1B3I. Reading ComprehensionSection A Fast ReadingBack in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Just to keep food on the table for the family members, the father worked almost eighteen hours a day. Two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children, Albrecht and Albert, wanted to pursue talent for art, but they knew that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the academy.After many discussions, the two boys decided to toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the coin toss completed his studies, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with the sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines.They tossed a coin after coming back from church on a Sunday morning. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and financed his brother, whose work at the academy was an almost immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings (版画), woodcuts (木刻画) and oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works.When Albrecht Durer returned to his village, the family held a big dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. He said, “Albert, now it is your turn to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”Albert rose and glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and said softly, “No, brother. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布) with a brush.”By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, sketches and woodcuts hang in every great museum in the world, but most people are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office.To pay homage to Albert, Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his drawing “Hands,” but the entire world immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and named it “The Praying Hands.”Statements based on the passage:T 1. The father of Durer family could not afford any child’s study at the academy.F 2. Albrecht and Albert had to toss a coin to decide who should go to the academy, because one of them had to stay at home and help their father.F 3. Before deciding to toss a coin, Albrecht and Albert had many discussions with their father.T 4. Albrecht achieved great success at the academy, and his works were even better than most of his professors’.F 5. Albrecht decided to support Albert’s study at the academy with the sales of his artwork and by laboring in the mines.F 6. Albert said it was too late for him to go to the academy because he was no longer interested in art after working in the mines for many years.F 7. Although Albrecht had many masterful portraits, only one of them has received popular recognition.T 8. Among Albrecht’s works, “Hands” is the one which is reproduced most.T 9. Albrecht created “Hands” in order to show respect and honor for his brother Albert.F 10. People renamed Albrecht’s drawing “The Praying Hands” because they just wanted to pay homage to his great achievement.Section B Passage ReadingPassage 1Valentine’s Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia(牧神节). It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls’ names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia.In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men may not marry. Valentinus (Valentine), a Christian priest, defied the emperor and got married in secret. He was caught and executed on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor him as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valentine’s Day ever since.In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves for a week. Today we still sometimes “wear our hearts on our sleeves” when we cannot conceal our feelings.In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the “language of flowers”. This came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance--a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine’s Day ever since.D 11. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The custom of Valentine’s Day.B. A story about how Valentinus defied the emperor.C. The relationship between marriage and religion.D. The origin of Valentine’s Day.B 12. Young soldiers were not allowed to marry because the emperor was afraid that ______.A. they would associate with St. ValentineB. they wouldn’t concentrate on their jobC. they would defy the emperor’s orderD. they were too young to marryC 13. What does the word “defied” (underlined in Paragraph 2) probably mean?A. Followed.B. Tried to cheat.C. Refused to obey.D. Condemned.B 14. The day February 14 has been St. Valentine’s day since ______.A. 260 ADB. 496 ADC. the founding of RomeD. the Middle AgesB 15. According to Paragraph 3, what does the phrase “wear our hearts on our sleeves” mean?A. To hide our true feelings.B. To show our true feelings openly.C. To demonstrate our love.D. To keep our feelings in our mind.Passage 2In Africa and Asia there is a very serious disease called schistosomiasis (血吸虫病). It is caused by a tiny worm which can penetrate the skin of a human being and cause a potentially serious illness. The larvae (幼虫) of these worms live in certain types of snails. When they are ready, the larvae leave the snails and enter the bodies of men and animals.In many African rivers there is a large animal called a hippopotamus. It looks rather like an enormous sausage with short legs and a big mouth. Hippos spend much of their time in the river and they do not seem to serve any purpose. Because of this, some African governments ordered that the great animals should be shot on sight to provide meat for local people. When hunters killed most of the hippos in some areas, the number of cases of the disease increased rapidly. There were outbreaks of the disease in areas which had not previously experienced it. At first, the health authorities could not understand the reason why the disease had spread. They made investigations and discovered some very surprising facts.When they are in the water, hippos keep the muddy water in motion because they move about frequently. When they climb up on the river bank, they go in single file, making natural channels down which rain water can flow into the river. Without the hippos, mud gathered in the rivers and caused them to run over their banks. At the same time, rain water was unable to drain into the rivers easily, and this helped to produce floods. Certain types of water snail breed rapidly on flooded land, carrying with them the larvae which spread schistosomiasis.Now African governments are importing hippos so that Nature can do her work properly and keep the water snails under control. This is one example of what happens when Man interferes with the work of Nature.A 16. We know that a potentially serious illness is caused when ______.A. the skin of a human being is penetrated by a tiny wormB. the larvae of snails enter the bodies of human beingsC. human beings keep pet snailsD. human beings eat too much meat of hipposD 17. Why were hippos shot to death in Africa?A. Because they look like sausages with short legs and big mouth.B. Because some governments wanted to provide meat for local people.C. Because there were too many hippos in the river.D. Because they were considered useless.A 18. Why did schistosomiasis spread in some areas in Africa?A. Because many hippos were killed.B. Because there were too many channels in the river.C. Because the number of the larvae was increased.D. Because the water snails were kept under control.D 19. According to the passage, which of the following is true about African governments?A. They didn’t build enough channels to drain the floods.B. They couldn’t find out the connection between hippos and the spread of schistosomiasis.C. They are trying to kill water snails which carry the larvae with schistosomiasis.D. They are trying to control the spread of schistosomiasis in an eco-friendly way.C 20. Nature cannot do her work in a satisfactory way if ______.A. too many hippos are killedB. governments interfere with local peopleC. man interferes with the work of natureD. a disease spreadsSection C Reading in DepthIn the 1990s, everyone believed that education was the key to economic success. A college degree, even a postgraduate degree, was G for everyone who wanted a good job as one of those “symbolic analysts”.But computers are proficient at analyzing symbols; it is the messiness of the real world that they have trouble with. Therefore, many of the jobs that once required a college degree have been E . The others can be done by any intelligent person, whether or not he has studied literature.This trend should have been K in 1996, when “downsizing”suddenly became news. Because, for the first time, white-collar, college-educated workers were being fired in large J , even while skilled mechanists and other blue-collar workers were in great D. This should have signaled that the days of the ever-rising wage premiums for people with higher education were over.Eventually, the eroding payoff of higher education created a C in education itself. Why should a student put himself through four years of college and several years of postgraduate work to A academic credentials with little monetary value? Nowadays, jobs that require only 6 or 12 months of vocational training pay nearly as much as if not more than a job that requires a master’s degree, and pay more than one requiring a Ph.D.So F in colleges and universities has dropped almost two-thirds since its peak at the turn of this century. Today a place like Harvard is, as it was in the 19th century, more of a social institution than a O one--a place for children of the wealthy to M their social graces and befriend others of their class.II.

大学进阶英语第三册练习题参考Unit OneOpenerGoing on a working holiday has many advantages:• A working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa.• The travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment.• You can try different types of jobs, even the ones that you normally wouldn’t do when at home. And in this sense, a working holiday could be a life-changing experience.• You are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals, not just other tourists. They can introduce you to a new culture.• A working holiday makes a good break. A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is th e break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world.Transcript:A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up. You are able to pick up a job or two (or 6) and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country.In general, a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. In Australia, for example, the typical tourist visa is for 3 months while a working holiday visa is for 12 months.With a working holiday visa, you can work as you go, meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad. Your method of travel may vary. Some prefer to travelup-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two different locations. Others prefer to work for a month, travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way, the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment.With a working holiday visa, you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of job, and you are probably put in a position to accept ones that you normally wouldn’t when athome. You never know what you might discover. A working holiday, in this sense, could end up being a life-changing experience.Moreover, by taking up employment in a country abroad, you are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals, not just other tourists, and that can do wonders for really introducing you to a new culture.A working holiday also makes a good break. A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is that break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world. Later working holiday experiences are often used by individuals as a way to explore the new and unknown. Taking part in a working holiday is a great idea to consider.Reading & InteractingI.

Comprehensive Practice4.1 ClozePrior to taking a working holiday abroad you will need to do a number of things. There is quite a lot of paperwork to complete. You will need to fill out various forms, including a visa application. Make sure it is the sort that allows you to take employment, rather than just being an ordinary tourist type that allows you to do sightseeing only. Alongside that, of course, you need to book your ticket. Once that is all done you will be ready to set off. Don’t let the thought of stepping outside your comfort zone frighten you, don’t let it stress you out. You may set out on your own, travelling solo, but you will soon make friends with many of the new people you meet on the way. So, start browsing the Internet to see where you would like to start your adventure!4.2 TranslationIf you are fully prepared, your working holiday abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever have. Here are some tips. First, you need to choose your destination wisely by browsing relevant websites. Then fill out the necessary paperwork, apply for a visa and book your flight as early as possible. Try to learn some new job skills prior to your departure, which can give you more employment options abroad and help you save up enough money fortravel. Within weeks of arriving in a foreign country, people often feel stressed out or kind of confused, so be prepared for the emotional stress. Make friends with local people instead of taking the adventure solo. And whenever possible, go on sightseeing excursions and capture the places you visit in words or pictures. Last, always follow your heart and do what you truly want to do.Reading & Comprehending1. Comprehension Check for Reading 11. F2. F3. T4. T5. F6. F7. T8. F9. T 10. F2.
