I can't wait for us to smile at each other and say good morning. When you arrive only seconds before the lecture commences, I'm indifferent to anything but your arrival. Instead of reviewing my lesson, I anticipate your footsteps and listen for your voice. Today is one of your late days, but I don't mind because after a month of denying the impulse to ask you out, today I'm feeling bold. Today I'm inclined to act.2 I know dating has changed dramatically in recent years, and for many women, asking men out isn't daring. But because of my traditional upbringing, the simple notion of asking you out seems abnormal. Growing up, I heard the clear message: Men must take the initiative and make contact. They should call, ask and pay for the date. However, during my years at the university, I've learned otherwise. Many of my women friends have put a spark in their social lives by taking the initiative with men. My girlfriends reckon that it's essential for women to participate more actively in the dating process. "I can't be idle and wait," my former roommate once said. "Hard as it is, if I want to date, I have to ask guys out!"”3 More women are taking the initiative and invite men out, and many men say they view this new phenomenon with approval. They are relieved that dating no longer solely depends on their willingness and courage to take the first step. Then why am I so nervous?4 I tell myself to relax since dating is more casual today. A college date means anything from studying together to simply having leisure time together like watching a film. Most of my peers prefer casual dating because it's cheaper and comfortable. Students have fewer anxiety attacks when they ask somebody to play tennis than when they plan a formal occasion.5 As an added bonus, casual dating also encourages people to forge healthy friendships prior to starting romantic relationships. Young people can relax and get to know each other more easily this way. For example, my roommate and her boyfriend were friends for four months before their chemistry clicked. They went out often with a bunch of mutual friends. They alternated paying the dinner check. "He was like any other friend," my roommate said laughing. Another friend of mine believes casual dating improves people's social lives, allowing them to circulate in wider social circles. When she wants to let a guy know she is interested, she'll say, "Hey, let's go get a yogurt." or "How about a cup of tea?"6 Who pays for it? It's not as easy as it used to be because the traditional rules of courtship are undergoing major changes. Preliminary statistics also affirm this. A plurality of young men say women should chip in and help pay after a few dates. An almost equal percentage of women offer to pay for themselves, even on a first date. But widespread confusion still exists. The new rules have yet to be clarified.7 My own past dates have taught me some things. Either "going Dutch" or allowing my date to pay can be a definite challenge. One date whipped out his wallet on our first date before I could suggest otherwise. During an after-dinner walk, he proceeded to tell me he was romantically interested in me. After I explained I was more interested in friendship, he seemed unhappy. He explained that since I'd accepted his paying for my dinner, he'd assumed I was interested in romance. He seemed angry with himself for treating me. I regretted allowing him to.8 Another date frowned when I hastily opened my purse, pulled out my wallet, and offered to go Dutch. I asked politely, "How much do I owe you?" He said, "Uh, uh, you really don't owe me anything, but if you insist …" He looked exceedingly embarrassed. To him, my gestur e of offering to pay had conveyed a message of rejection.9 Everyone seems confused as they try to clarify the new rules of dating. Who should ask whom out? Who should pay and when? So, while I do think dressing up and going out on traditional, formal dates is a blast, I thrive on casual dating because it has brought a valuable dimension to my social life. With casual dating, there's less pressure and more equality. I can give roses as well as receive them! Casual dating is worthwhile because it works.10 So here I am, waiting. No magic formula guarantees he will say "yes". I just have to relax, be myself and ask him out in a no-nonsense manner.11 He finally arrives. Sliding into his desk, he pats my shoulder and asks, "Hi, what's up?"”12 "Good morning," I answer cautiously. With a knot in the pit of my stomach, I conquer my fear and ask, "Hey, how about lunch after class on Friday?"13 "You mean after the midterm?" he says with barely concealed enthusiasm. "I'd love to go to lunch with you."14 Thrilled and smiling broadly, I confirm, "Well then, we'll save the date!" "Yes, we will!" he replies cheerfully.1 Why was the author feeling bold that day?(2.0)A、 The boy she would like to date smiled and said, good morning to her.B、 She was very anxious to greet him.C、 She can't wait to hear his voice.D、 She has been waiting for too long to talk to him.正确答案: D二、完型填空(共1题,30分)1、Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question,themore.each other.

S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush --- often under pressure. City people appear always to hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked up[on differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courteous. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.51. Which of the following statements is wrong? __________A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach lessimportance to patience. C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing. D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.52. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means __________.A. a less important thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift53. Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance54. This passage mainly talks about __________.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like55. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is __________.A. criticalB. ironicalC. appreciativeD. objectivePassage 2Britain 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 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 speaking 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, 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. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys 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 canbe 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 of “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.56. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is __________.A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate57. The war in Iraq does __________ to the relationship between France and Britain.A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm58. The British are not so friendly to __________ and the French are not so friendly to __________.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America59. __________ are more interested in having holidays in __________.A. American people; BritainB. British people; GermanyC. French people; BritainD. British people; France60. What does the last sentence mean? __________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 Britain5. TranslationEnglish to Chinese:61. You should spend a reasonable time for better relaxing and exercising.62. Don’t let negative thoughts hold you back.63. Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.64. We estimated that it would take a week to finish the work.

大学英语(三)本科复习资料Part 1 reading comprehensionPassage 1There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability(残疾).Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society .In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination(歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.1. The proportion of older people___D___.A) is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesB) is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesC) will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020D) will increase much faster in China than in France2. According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about? CA) The loss of taxes on older people.B) The longer life and good health of people.C) The diseases and disability of older people.D) The increasing respect for older people.3. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should ____D____.A) be treated differently in different culturesB) be ignored as society changesC) enjoy a similar lifestyleD) be valued by the younger generations4. Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem? CA) Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B) Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C) Providing free health care for sick older people.D) Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.5. The author concludes in the last paragraph that ____A____.A) population aging is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyB) governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemC) people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD) much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problempassage 2Nonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious (调情) for a woman to allow a man to look at her in the eye. This “eye contact” provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.1. Nonverbal communication includes all forms listed below EXCEPT _______C_____.A. gesturesB. body distanceC. talksD. eye contact2. While talking, the South Americans tend to ____B_______.A.talk loudlyB.be close to each otherC.keep a certain distance between themD.push each other3. While they are talking, the North Americans tend to _______C_______.A.talk loudlyB.be close to each otherC.keep a certain distance between themD.be cold4.It would be considered __D___ in the Middle East, if a woman allows a man to look at her intheeye.A. politeB. impoliteC. acceptableD. unacceptable5. More eye contacts may indicate all of the following EXCEPT THAT____B_______.A.people like each otherB.people are interested in the topicC.people are interested in each otherD.people want to keep talkingPassage 3My generation - the generation that came of age in the 1950s and 1960s -- may be the last one to know the feeling of being sounded by millions of words that were the products of years of work by authors famous and obscure..For now we are seeing a subtle but unmistakable turning away from such things. The houses of America, I fear, may soon include no room for libraries. The hardcover book --That symbol of the permanence of thought, the handing down of wisdom from. one age to the next -- may be a new addition to our list of endangered species.I have a friend who runs a bookstore in a Midwestern college town. He has found that he cannot sell hardcover books; paperback books are his stock in trade, and even these are a disappointment to him. "You know how we used to see people carrying around book bags? "he tells me. "Well, now I look out of the window of my shop, and all I see are students carrying boxes from the record st ores. The students aren’t reading any more. They're listening to albums (唱片集) ."And indeed he may be right. Stories of problems young people have with reading are not new, but the trend seems to be worsening. Recently the president of a university in New York said that IO percent of the freshmen (大学一年级学生) at this university could read no better than the average eighth grader. There is an even more worrying aspect to it: of those college freshmen whose reading skills were equivalent to the sixth-to-eighth-grade level, the president reported that many had ranked in the top half of their high-school classes.11. The underlined word "obscure" (paragraph l) most probably means B .A) not well-paid B) not well-known C) not well-trained D) not well-made12. The hardcover book may become an endangered species because C .A) the permanence of thought is challengedB) people are tired of hardcover booksC) the habit of reading books is dying outD) hardcover books are scarcer today13.The writer mentions his friend’s bookstore to show that AA) there is a gradual lack of interest in serious readingB) hardcover books greatly affect his friend's businessC) there is subtle increase in the popularity of musicD) paperback. books are a disappointment to his friend14. As a result of the worsening trend of turning away from. reading DA) many high school students fail to enter universitiesB) high-school students have become the best readersC) many college students enjoy listening to albumsD) students fail to read as well as they are required to15. The passage is mainly about B .A) the troubles encountered by the owner of a bookstoreB) the changes in people's attitude towards readingC) the problems that college students have with readingD) the trend of reading in the 1950s and 1960sPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure16.

For each question there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Chose the best answer to each question.Passage OneEverybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants,people order their food,wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home,at work,or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food,and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken,beef,sandwiches,or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes),shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream),soft drinks,and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive.For many people,this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company's restaurant in the north or south of the city,the food will be the same,if they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.11. According to the passage,what food do Americans like best?A. Beef.B. Sandwiches.C. Hamburger.D. Fries.12. Where can Americans eat a hamburger?A. At home.B. In a park.C. In their car.D. At any of the places mentioned above.13.Fast food is .A.deliciousB. unpopularC. inexpensiveD. of high quality14. The last paragraph tells us________.A. fast-food is very popularB. people like to eat in fast-food restaurantsC. why fast-food restaurants are very popularD. you can eat fast-food any where in the US15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Fast-food restaurants are very popular.B. People in the US eat enough hamburgers to make a line ar ound the world.C. Some people eat fast food in parks.D. People can eat fast food at work or in a park.Passage TwoGoing to court can be frightening,especially if you area child. You may have to stand up in the witness box,and swear to tell the truth and answer questions in front of a crowd of adults. It would be even more frightening if you were the victim of a crime and you had to sit in the same courtroom as the person accused of attacking you,for instance.So the law in Britain has made it easier for children to act as witnesses. Children are allowed to tell what they know,from another room in the same courthouse,in this way they do not have to face all those people in the courtroom.It works on a closed-circuit (闭路的)television link,which means that the TV only operates inside the court. The child witness sits in a room with a social worker in front of a TV camera. Everyone in the court room can see the child on a TV screen,but the child can only see the judge and the lawyers who will ask him or her questions. The system has been so successful that it will be extended to more courts this year.Another way to make it easy for a child to act a witness is to set up a screen in the court room around the witness box so that the child cannot see the defendant (被告).Information given by children can be very important to a court trial,butbefore1988 the law did not really recognize that children told the truth. It stated that anything a child said in court had to be  supported by other evidence in the case.16. A child witness,if he were the victim of the crime,would be frightened most by________. A. all the questions he had to answerB. the crowd of adults he had to faceC. the judge and the lawyersD. the person accused of attacking him17. The most important point of the new system that made thi ngs easier for a child witness is that____.A. he does not see the defendantB. he speaks in front of a TV cameraC. he is in another room in the same courthouseD. everyone in the courtroom can see the child18.What does the author think of the new system according to the third paragraph?A. Not very good.B. Very successful.C. Just an experiment.D. Hardly acceptable.19, Has the law always recognized the importance of children's information in court?A. No.B. Yes.C. Not until 1988.D. Before 1988,yes.20. The word “case”in the last paragraph means________.A. a particular situationB. a particular incidentC. a trialD. a boxPassage ThreeAlbeit Einstein had a great effect on science and history,greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president oncecommented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on —but even ordinary man understands now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties,little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study,but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply,and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly given to him. He became the headOf the Kaiser Whihem Institute on Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize,and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.21. According to the American university president,________.A. everyone understands Einstein's theory todayB. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyC. the theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyoneD. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein22. According to paragraph two,Albert Einstein________.A. was a famous chemistB. became a professional researcherC. was popularA.D. enjoyed reading about war23.

小镇的四周是象棋盘交错的生意盎然的农庄,还有一块块的田地和一座座遍布山坡的果园。

春天来了,白色的鲜花云彩般地漂浮在田野上;秋天到了,橡树、枫树和桦树色彩斑斓,在一片松树林间火焰般地燃烧与跳跃。

小山上狐狸吠叫,田野间小鹿静静地跃过,所有的一切都在秋天清晨的薄雾中半隐半现。

在路的两旁,一年中许多时候,月桂树、荚蒾、桤木、蕨类植物和各样的野花都能让过往的行人赏心悦目。

即使是冬天,路边的景色依旧是美不胜收,那里无数的小鸟来觅取浆果莓和露在雪地上的枯枝上的种子。

事实上,这乡村正是由于鸟类的数量和种类之繁多而出名的。

在候鸟群潮涌而来的春秋季节,人们从大老远的地方慕名前来欣赏。

还有的人来这里的小溪垂钓。

清冽的溪水从山中流出,溪水中有许多鳟鱼藏身的背阴的水潭。

所以,从许多年前开始,第一批居住者就在这里盖房挖井,搭起了自己的谷仓。

后来,一种奇怪的摧毁力悄然袭击了这个地区,所有的一切都开始变了。

某种邪恶的符咒笼罩了这个社区:神秘的疾病攻击了鸡群,牛、羊也纷纷病死,到处都有一层死亡的阴影。

农夫们谈论着家中的许多疾病;镇上的医生也越来越因病人中出现的新的病症而感到迷惑。

在成人和孩子中发生了好几起突发的不明其由的死亡,那些孩子在玩耍中突然病倒,几小时后就死去了。

这里是一派奇怪的寂静。

就说鸟儿们吧——它们都去哪儿了?许多人说起鸟儿的时候都充满了迷惑与不安。

他们后院的饲养站已经没有鸟儿光顾了。

随处能见到的几只鸟都奄奄一息。

他们猛烈地颤抖,却飞不起来。

这是一个无声的春天。

曾经是震动着画眉鸟、猫鸟、鸽子、樫鸟、欧鹪和许多鸟儿的黎明合唱声的清晨如今却寂然无声。

田野间、树林中和沼泽地里也是一片寂静。

在农庄,母鸡下蛋却孵不出小鸡。

农夫们抱怨无法养猪,因为刚生下的猪崽太小了,小猪也只能活几天的功夫。

苹果树开花了,可是没有蜜蜂在花丛中嗡嗡地采蜜,没有蜜蜂的授粉,也就没有任何果子。

曾经是如此迷人的路旁如今却铺着黑黑的枯干的草木,仿佛是被一场大火烧过一般。

那里也是一片寂静,因为所有的生物都遗弃了它。

即使是溪流中也没有了生命。

因为所有的鱼都已经死了,垂钓者也就不再来了。

在屋檐下的天沟里,屋顶的木瓦之间仍旧可见几片白色的粒状的粉末。

几个星期之前,它像白雪一样洒在了屋顶上、草地上、田野里和溪流里。

在这个遭受袭击的地球上,没有巫术,也没有敌人的行动抑制了新生命的复苏;这一切都是人自身造成的。

自20世纪40年代中期起,人们制造了500多种基本的化学药品来杀死在现代语言中被称作“害虫”的昆虫、杂草、啮齿动物和其他的生物体,以几千种的品牌名称来出售它们。

这些液体喷剂、粉末和雾状喷剂现在几乎普遍使用于农庄、花园、森林和家庭。

非选择性的化学药品能杀死每只昆虫(不管是“好”的还是“坏”的),能使鸟儿不再歌唱,溪流中的鱼儿不再跳跃,能在树叶上覆盖一层致命的薄膜,并能存留在土地中。
