Language points

1 … and we all started to get our heads down … (Para 1)

To get one’s head down means to concentrate and focus on studying. In other British informal contexts,

it can mean to sleep. Note also, to keep one’s head down means to continue to do something quietly,

especially when there is trouble happening around you.

Unit 1 Discovering yourself

2 Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. (Para 1)

This is a conversational elliptical sentence. A standard way of saying this is: The most important things,

of course, were the final exams in April and May in the following year.

3 No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard

was strong. (Para 1)

Peer group pressure is the pressure to conform that people, especially children and young people, often

feel from the immediate group of those around them who are of the same age or status.

4 Libraries ... were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags

under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence. (Para 1)

The expression standing room only means there are no more seats available because the place is crowded.

This expression is often used in public performances, for sports events and on public transport to mean

that you have to stand because the place is packed with people.

Bags under their eyes refer to loose dark areas of skin that you get when you have not had enough sleep.

The expression guys wore the bags under their eyes with pride means that the students were proud that

their tired appearance showed how hard they had been studying, and the bags under their eyes were like

medals.

5 It wasn’t always the high flyers with the top grades who knew what they were going to do. (Para 2)

A high flyer refers to someone who has achieved a lot and has the ability and determination to continue to

be successful in their studies or job. In university, a high flyer is a top student.

6 Quite often it was the quieter, less impressive students who had the

next stages of their life mapped

out. (Para 2)

To have something mapped out means to have something that will happen planned in detail.

7 One had landed a job in his brother’s advertising firm in Madison Avenue, another had got a script

under provisional acceptance in Hollywood. (Para 2)

To land a job means to get a job that you wanted.

Provisional acceptance refers to an acceptance which is arranged (in principle), but is not yet definite. It

is temporary and could be changed.

8 The most ambitious student among us was going to work as a party

activist at a local level. (Para 2)

A party activist is someone who takes part in activities that are intended to achieve political change,

someone who is a member of a political organization.

9 We all saw him ending up in the Senate or in Congress one day. (Para 2)

To end up somewhere means to be in a particular place or state after doing something or because of it.

Here, a party activist might end up in Congress, as a result of making career progress.

10 But most people were either looking to continue their studies … and

then settle down with a family,

a mortgage and some hope of promotion. (Para 2)

To look to continue their studies here means to hope or expect to continue their studies – whether they

can do so would probably depend on their exam results and grades. You can also look to someone for

help, advice or support.

Discovering yourself Unit 1

A mortgage is a legal agreement in which you borrow money from a bank or financial organization in

order to buy a house. You pay back your mortgage by making monthly payments, plus interest. Thus,

getting a mortgage for many young people means getting a flat or house of their own.

11 I braced myself for some resistance to the idea. (Para 10)

A brace is a piece of wood or metal which supports an object so that it

does not fall down. So to brace

oneself means to hold oneself together in readiness for something difficult or unpleasant.

12 You don’t need to go into a career which pays well just at the moment. (Para 16)

To go into a career means to start working in a particular job, business or career.

13 Several times the crab tried to defy his fellow captives, without luck. (Para 25)

The crab tried to defy the others as it resisted others or refused to obey them when it tried to escape.

The expression without luck means without success, being unable to do what you want.

大学英语测试题及答案

Test Three (A) I Reading Comprehension Passage One The man who, legend has it, escaped from an early grave when his uncle pulled him from drowning in a dirty pond is notorious for his dirty deeds but that what cannot be forgotten are his achievements in the 1986 World Cup. Forget the handball against England, feel the quality of his 50-yard solo goal in the same game and the near repeat performance in the semi-final against Belgium. The Argentina side of the 1986 was functional and hard-working but it was Maradona who fired them to the final and then set up two of the goals in their 3-2 win over West Germany in the final. In 1990, a barely-fit Maradona fought his way to the final where the Germans took their -match tears. In fact many rejoiced that such an ugly revenge. Few people shared Diego’s post brute of a team had lost. Eight years before, in Spain, Maradona , then newly arrived at Barcelona, disgraced himself by being sent off in a Second Phase game with Brazil. Even four years before that the 18-year-old Maradona was a source of great controversy when he was left out of the victorious squad that won on home ground. USA 1994 was the end for Maradona as a player. Right after the Nigeria game, he was picked for drugs-screening and tested positive for banned stimulant ephedrine (麻黄硷). He was banned from the rest of the tournament and the team fell apart, going out in the second round to Romania. 21. How many World Cups are mentioned in the passage? A) Three. B) Four.C) Five D) Six. 22.Which country won the 1990 World Cup? A)Argentina B) West Germany C) Romania D) England 23. Maradona won the World Cup. A) once B) twice C) three times D) four times 24.When in 1994, Maradona was driven out of the World Cup, he was close to . A) 18 B) 24 C) 26 D) 31 25. According to the passage, Maradona is a man . A) full of ideas B) with cruel behaviors C) having good luck D) of great controversy Passage Two Many companies have run into serious troubles trying to coordinate their sales and promotional efforts. For example, one firm authorized a large promotional drive to introduce a new product in Latin America. The promotion ran smoothly, but someone forgot to coordinate product delivery — ship the product. Consumers were confused and money was wasted when the promoted product was not available. To avoid such occurrences, all plans should be in writing and someone should be responsible for central coordination. Hence, risks are lessened and opportunities to save money may arise. Coca-cola, for instance, requires that all overseas marketing plans be submitted to the central office well in advance. This gives the company a chance to examine 1 / 6
