Reading Comprehension (20%)In this section there are several reading passages followed by twenty questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answer on your answer sheet.Text AGeorge Washington was the first man not a king whose birthday was publicly celebrated during his lifetime. Before the colonies declared their independence, celebrations honoring the birthdays of British rulers were customary. After the Declaration of Independence, the American people ignored royal birthdays and began instead to celebrate General Washington’s birthday. This custom started in 1778 during the army’s cold snowy w inter at Valley Forge, when one of the military bands marched to Washington’s headquarters and played for him.When the war ended in 1783, Washington eagerly returned to Mount Vernon. But his peaceful retirement was interrupted when he was unanimously chosen first president of the United States. He took office in 1789 and was reelected in 1792. In 1796, he refused a third term and retired from political life. He died two years later and was buried at Mount Vernon, which one million tourists visit every year. Shortly after his death, Washington was praised in these famous words: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the heart of his countrymen.”To the American people, Washington symbolizes dignity, statesmanship, and, above all, honesty. The ramous cherry tree story, which was invented by Washington’s first b iographer, has become a lesson in morals for all American schoolchildren. The story goes like this: When George Washington was about six years old, his father gave him a hatchet (small axe), which the little boy loved to play with. One day, he tried the edge of his hatchet on his father’s favorite young cherry tree and did enough damage to kill the tree. Next morning, his father noticed the damage and ran into the house shouting, “George, do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry tree…in the garden?George’s famous reply was, “I ca n’t tell a lie, Pa, you kno w I can’t tell a lie. I cut it with my hatchet.” His father, pleased with the boy’s courage and honesty, quickly forgave him.Because of this story, traditional dessert on Washington’s birthday are cherry pie or a log-shaped cake decorated with cherries. W ashington’s Birthday is a legal holiday throughout the U. S. A. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February. In some state, this date is called Presidents’Day and honors both Washington and Lincoln.51.George Washington’s birthday was first celebrated________.A. before the War of IndependenceB. after he diedC. after he became the President of the United StatesD. during the War of Independence52.The famous cherry tree story________.A. was widely known when George Washington was a childB. was not a true storyC. shows that honesty can avoid punishmentD. gradually loses its influence53.From the passage we can infer that________.A. Lincoln was born in FebruaryB. the American people love Washington because he was honestC. Washington was buried near the capitalD. cherry pie is a necessity for Washington’s birthday54.The main theme of the passage is________.A. George Washington’s birthdayB. the famous cherry tree storyC. Washington’s honestyD. the great merits of George WashingtonText BWhat exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.”In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?Professor Jereald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie,”such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful.However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behaviour changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls ‘the mouth cover’. He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side or the mouth. Such a gesture can be interpreted as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of thins, and, in particular, the context in which the lie is told.55.One sometimes tells one’s friend a “white lie”because one wantsto________.A. make a profit from the other personB. avoid offending the other personC. convince the other personD. have some fun56.One research suggests that women ________.A.generally lie far more than menB.tend to tell more serious lies than menC.make more promises they can fulfill than menD.are better at telling serious lies than men57.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.politicians tend to tell intentional liesB. men are less skilledat telling liesC. businessmen seldom break their promisesD. women tend to make falsepromises 58.People may rub their noses when they lie because ________.A.they suffer from high blood pressure at the timeB.the nose is the most sensitive part of the human bodyC.the nose reveals the liar more easily than the other parts of the faceD.they do so in order to stop themselves from telling more lies59.It can be learned from the passage that ________.A.lies can easily be detected by careful observersB.lies are usually accompanied by strange gesturesC.people are liable to tell a lie when they hear others lyingD. a liar may give away his or her intention unconsciouslyText CBritain has always been fortunate in having plentiful energy resources. At the end of the eighteenth century these were principally coal and, in places water power from swift-flowing streams and rivers. Coal-mining is one of the oldest and most basic of all industries. Deep mining began in Britain 300 years ago and has since been an integral part of the country’s industrial life. In coal-producing areas, other industries that could be serviced by coal grew rapidly. Factories came into being because it was more economical to manufacture goods under one large roof, where power could be concentrated rather than in the small rooms and backyards of thousands of individual workers. Industrial complexes developed where natural resources, like coal and iron, were readily available and cheap labor flowed in as a result of declining living standards in rural areas.At the time this rapid industrialization had many critics but for working people there was no real choice: working long hours in factories and coal-mines seemed to promise a chance of a better life than staying in country areas where jobs were scarce and poverty and hunger were common. In the early 1800s a group calling themselves Luddites smashed and destroyed new factory machinery in the Midlands and north. As craftsmen who traditionally worked at home, the Luddites were protesting that factory machines had robbed them of their livelihood.Industrialization, for all its negative social effects, did bring many economic advantages and made Britain an exceedingly rich and powerful nation．It increased the population of urban areas and expanded industrial output; it encouraged technical invention and promoted competition to improve the quality of goods and services offered; it also led to better communication systems. Yet the successes and achievements of industrialization were founded on the exploitation of working people who were to endure long working hours for low wages and to live in inadequate housing, crowded together.60.The British manufacturing industry developed because of________.A.rich energy resourcesB. water powerC. the declining rural economyD. cheap labor61.As far as industrialization was concerned, the working people thoughtthat________.A. it brought them a better lifeB. there was no alternativeC. it brought them bad luckD. it was better to work at home62.According to the author, industrialization________.A. produced bad social effectsB. brought prosperity to BritainC. made people poorD. achieved the hoped-for successes63.The successes of industrialization resulted from________.A. rich natural resourcesB. the exploitation of the working peopleC. technical inventionD. competition among capitalistsText DIt’s rare for a European to be honored in the way that rock art expert George Chaloupka was recently by an aboriginal (土著). “He fell in love with our country, our culture and especially our rock art,” said Mick Alderson, the Aboriginal chairman of Kakadu National Park’s board of management. “Perhaps, more importantly, he also fell in love with our people. This was based on respect for our people and their knowledge. In turn, George has our respect---more than any other European I know.”Alderson’s praise was read out at a party t o mark 65-year-old Chaloupka’s retirement from the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery. Chaloupka was the dedicated amateur who discovered thousands of previously unidentified rock art sites across Arnhem Land. From them, he formulated the definite time sequence of those paintings, lending evidence to a much earlier Aboriginal occupation of Australia than previously imagined. He fought the over-exploitation of the mineral-rich region, resulting in the establishment of Kakadu National Park. His work recognized the art on the rock walls as the world’s oldest existing record of human expression, created thousands of years before the first designs were painted on the torch-lit cave walls of Europe.64.George has the respect from the aboriginals because________.A. he has found the rock paintings for themB. he is an amateur who has the achievement of a professionalC. he respects them and their cultureD. he falls in love with them65.George’s discoveries prove that________.A. he is the first man to make such discoveriesB. they are the oldest artistic record ever foundC. they are much older than those found in EuropeD. the aboriginals occupied Australia for the first time66.The establishment of the National Park was to________.A. stop any mining in the regionB. protect the rock artC. honor the discovery of the rock artD. attract tourists from all over the worldText EI am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal.The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous —cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the in-habitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town, the city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the sense. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life does n’t come to an endat half past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they, leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitant of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning”to the locals as they pass by, I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat. Toby. I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with those hearty males down the farm? No. He would rather have the electric imitation—coal fire any evening.67.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author ____A. used to live in the country.B. used to work in the city.C. works in the city.D. lives in the country.68.In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappyEXCEPT____A. a strong sense of fear.B. lack of communication.C. housing conditions.D. a sense of isolation.69.The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the countryEXCEPT____A. daily necessities.B. fresh fruits.C. designer clothes.D. fresh vegetables.70.According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describesthose people who work in large cities and live in village?A.

Part I Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Please write the answer on the Answer Sheet .Passage 1Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: thelonging for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at least -- I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I can ’t, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.1. What rhetorical device does the author use in the first paragraph? A) Hyperbole and simile. B) personification and hyperbole. C) parallelism, simile and metaphor. D) All of the above.2. For how many reasons has the author sought love?A) 1. B) 2. C) 3. D) 4.3. The reason why the author mentions Pythagorean power is ____________ A) to substantiate his viewpointB) that he is a mathematicianC) to show his talent in mathematicsD) that this essay is based on Pythagorean theory 4. Why does the author say he suffers too? A) Because he is homeless. B) Because he is ill.C) Because he cannot alleviate all the evil that he hates.D) Because he does not have enough money to support the poor. 5. What is the basic tone for the whole passage?A) Critical. B) Ironic. C) Pathetic. D) Passionate. Passage 2Since Tiger was so fortunate with the game of golf, he decided to start a foundation called: The Tiger Woods Foundation which starts schools in urban American cities that provided an education for less fortunate kids. Tiger also supports and donates money to The First Tee program. The First Tee program’s goal is to provide learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life enhancing values through the game of golf. Tiger himself has also been an idol or hero for many kids around the world because of his dominance and records throughout his golfing career. Because of this many kids have started learning the game of golf.Tiger ’s real first name is Eldrick. He was born on December 30, 1975 and grew up in Cypress California. He began taking an interest in golf when he was just six months old. He would watch his dad, Earl, hit golf balls into a net and would try to copy his swing. He was given the nickname Tiger after a Vietnamese soldier and friend of his father. Tiger Woods appeared on TV practicing his swing at the age of two and by the time he was three, he had already shot a 48 on a nine-hole course. When he was five, the golf world began to take notice of Tiger and he was featured on the cover of Golf Digest. Tiger Woods was just 16 and still in high school when he played in his first professional golf tournament - the Nissan Los Angeles Open. Two years later, he went to college at Stanford University where he won ten collegiate events and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) title. While he appeared in only a handful of professional tournaments during his years in college, it wasn’t long before Tiger Woods would be winning pro events at a ridiculous rate.Tiger Woods, who is now 28 years old, has had an amazing career since becoming a pro golfer in 1996. He has won 53 worldwide tournaments, 40 of those wins were on the PGA TOUR, including eight major championships: the 1997, 2001, and 2002 Masters, the 1999 and 2000 PGA Championships, the 2000 and 2002 U.S. Open Championship and the 2000 British Open. Tiger has now won an incredible 9 out of 16 World Golf Championship events he has played in.Tiger relates to the book because he is a hero to others near and far. People around the world notice his dedication, time spent working to perfect his game, his fitness routines and since he is young, all the kids like that. Even if you didn’t play golf, you would know who Tiger is and he has influenced many people to take up the game and learn more than just how to play: to learn the integrity and rules which also help you in life.To wrap things up, Tiger Woods started the game at a young age and set many records that may never be broken and has changed the game forever. He’s a hero, incredible golfer, and a generous giving man. He works hard at everything he does and院系： 班级： 姓名： 学号： 装 订 线gives back whenever he can. That is why I chose Tiger to be my hero.6. Which of the following statements about Tiger is TRUE?A) He played in his first professional golf contest in 1992.B) He got the name Tiger from his father.C) He became a professional golfer when he was 16 years old.D) He drew the attention of other golf players in 1983.7. When did the author write the passage?A) 2002. B) 2003. C) 2005. D) Unknown.8. Why does the author adore Tiger Woods?A) He is young. B) He dedicates himself to golf.C) He donates money to others. D) B and C.9. In which way did the author write the passage?A) Ironic. B) Objective. C) Subjective. D) Exaggerated.10. What might be the best title for the passage?A) Tiger Woods B) The world’s Best GolferC) The Brightest Sports Star D) Sports Hero: Tiger WoodsPassage 340 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwing Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwing Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.11. The first games for the disabled were held _______ after Sir Ludwing Guttmannarrived in England.A) 40 years B) 21 yearsC) 10 years D) 9 years12. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in_______.A) New York B) LondonC) Rome D) Los Angeles13. In Paragraph 3, the word “athletes” means _______.A) people who support the games B) people who watch the gamesC) people who organize the games D) people who compete in the games14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B) Sir ludwing Guttmann is an injured soldier.C) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is from Germany.D) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.15. From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is _______.A) one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB) a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC) against holding the games for the disabledD) in favor of holding the games for the disabledPassage 4Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages. They picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.Many of those who have had, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they owed much of their purest happiness to books. Aseham, in “The Schoolmaster,” tells a touching story of his last visit to Lady Jane Grey. He found her sitting in an oriel window reading Plato’s beautiful account of the death of Socrates. Her father and mother were hunting in the park. The hounds were in full cry and their voices came in through the open window. He expressed his surprise that she had not joined them. But, said she, “I wish that all their pleasure in the park is but a shadow to the pleasure I find in Plato.”Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. In a charming letter to a little girl, he says: “Thank you for your very pretty letter. I am always glad to make my little girl happy, and nothing pleases me so much as to see that she likes books, for when she is as old as I am, she will find that they are better than all the tarts and cakes, toys and plays, and sights in the world. If any one would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I should not read books, I would not be a king. I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.”Books, indeed, endow us with a whole enchanted palace of thoughts. “There is a wider prospect,” says Jean Paul Richter, “from Parnassus than from a throne.” In one way they give us an even more vivid idea than the actual reality, just as reflections are often more beautiful than real nature. “All are mirrors,”says George Macdonald. “The commonest room is a room in a poem when I look in the glass.”Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most sublime andenchanting regions.16.

Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察觉)something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着). For perceptio n is the minds’s interpretation of what the senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. （1409A卷1、1412B卷1、1504C卷1）(1).Seeing and perceiving are ______.A. the same actionB. two separate actionsC. two actions carried on entirely by the eyesD. several actions that take place at different times(2).Perceiving is an action that takes place ___.A. in our eyesB. only when we think very hard about somethingC. only under the direction of a psychologist D . in every person’s mind(3).Perception involves what ____A. our senses tell usB. our minds interpretC. we see with our eyes onlyD. both A and B(4).People perceive different things about the same scene because ____.A. they see different thingB. they cannot agree about thingsC. some have better eyesightD. none of these(5).Psychologists study perception by _____.A. setting up many experimentsB. asking each other what they seeC. looking out of windowsD. studying people’s eyes2.Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin at mosphere like Earth’s but。

For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radiosignals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Text BComprehension Check2. a c c d b bTranslation5. 这类系统易受气候变化的影响，提供的数据不够精确，但他们不需要特别的`道路设施，只需要将车道标志维护好就行了。

Reading Comprehension (2 points each, 40 points)Directions:In this part, there are four passages followed by several questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE that you think is the correct answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its ownerdid not know what to do. The price was reasonable and the food was of good quality, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant is always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a menu(菜单), the menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous(慷慨) than he really was.11. Why didn’t people come to the White Rose Restaurant to eat at first?A. Because the price was high.B. Because the food was too cheap.C. Because the food was not good.D. The passage didn’t mention.12. According to the passage we can conclude that the people who eat at thisrestaurant are mostly ______.A. poor old peopleB. rich young peopleC. men with their girl friendsD. parents with their children13. The difference between the two kinds of menu lie in ______.A. the colorB. the shapeC. the priceD. the food14. According to the passage we can infer that when men with their girl friends eat atthis restaurant, the food was paid _____.A. always by the ladies onlyB. always by the men onlyC. sometimes by the ladiesD. either by the men or by the ladies15. According to the passage we can know that, generally speaking, ______.A. men are more generous than womenB. women are more generous than menC. men like their lady friends to be generous.D. women like their men friends to be generousPassage 2Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought，cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meat can be had at the restaurant，the worker’s canteen，and the school dining-room.It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not-unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages，father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.16. The writer mentions home as workshop because______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-lifeC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers17.

But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write．Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call ‘remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A. “Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．C. A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D. Where there are no written records．there is no history．22．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _____.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23．“Remembered history”refers to _____．A. his tory based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when _____.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be timeD. people are interested in it25 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than wedo now if the ancient people had _____A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage 4Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine？The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a tenhorse-power engine.26. The main idea of the passage is ___.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine27. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine28. James Watt was born in ____.A. a worker’s familyB. a farmer’s familyC. a teacher’s familyD. a doctor’s steam engine29. Watt wanted to find a way to ____.A. measure the work his engine could doB. tell people how powerful his engine wasC. lift a 3300-pound weightD. both A and B30. One horse-power means the ____.A. work a horse could do in a minuteB. weight a horse could do in ten minutesC. work a horse could do in ten minutesD. weight of one horseIII.

大学生综合英语第四册_课后练习答案《全新版大学英语综合教程》（第二版）第四册Unit 1-4课后练习答案Unit 1Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:The severity of Russian winter is often linked with Russian military victories. In the Great Northern War, Charles XII of Sweden invaded the Russia of Peter the Great. The Russians retreated, adopting a scorched-earth policy. This particular winter happened to be the most brutal winter of the 18th century, so severe that the salt water port of Venice froze. Charles' 35,000 troops were crippled, and only 19,000 were left after that winter.In 1812, Napoleon's army of 610,000 men invaded Russia, heading towards Moscow. The Russian army retreated before the French and again burnt their crops and villages, denying the enemy their use. Napoleon's army was ultimately reduced to 100,000. His army suffered further, even more disastrous losses on the retreat from Moscow. According to an American military study, the main body of Napoleon's army, initially at least 378,000 strong, "diminished by half during the first eight weeks of his invasion, before the majorbattle of the campaign.The argument of the Russian winter may be mythologized. Failed invaders liked to exaggerate the significance of weather conditions in their failures. According to the meteorological records, the1812-1813 winter was milder than usual.During WWII the only cold winter was in 1941-1942, and theGerman army lacked necessary supplies, such as winter uniforms, due to the many delays in its movements. Hitler was so confident of a quick victory that he did not prepare for even the possibility of winter warfare in Russia. He was too confident in his "lightning war" strategy. Yet his eastern army suffered more than 734,000 casualties during the first five months of the invasion, and on 27 November 1941, General Eduard Wagner reported that "We are at the end of our resources in both personnel and materiel. We are about to be confronted with the dangers of deep winter."After Listening1. link2. burnt their crops and villages3. exaggerate the significance4. at the end of their resourcesPart II Reading taskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions1. It refers to the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.2. He expected the conquest of Russia in five weeks.3. Instead of fighting, they retreated eastward, burning their crops and homes as they went. They let the Russian winter fight the war for them while they bided their time.4. Napoleon discovered that the occupation of the city was an empty victory because the Russians fled their capital leaving him almost nothing at all.5. They suffered heavy losses as a result of the extreme cold and the Russians' hit-and-run attacks.6. Napoleon abdicated and went into exile.7. Hitler began his invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 without a declaration of war. He expected the campaign tolast no longer than three months by using the so-called "lightning war" tactics.8. No, he wasn't. He instructed the Russian people to "scorch the earth" in front of the German invaders.9. The people of Leningrad refused to surrender and put upa heroic, stiff resistance.10. An early, severe, cold winter, to a large extent, slowed downthe German advance on Moscow.11. The loss of the battle for Stalingrad turned the tide against Hitler. The German victories were over.12.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answer on your answer sheet.Text AGeorge Washington was the first man not a king whose birthday was publiclycelebratedduring his lifetime. Before the colonies declared their independence, celebrations honoringthe birthdays of British rulers were customary. After the Declaration of Independence, the American people ignored royal birthdays and began instead tocelebrateGeneralWashington’s birthday. This custom started in 1778 during the army’s cold snowy winter at Valley Forge, when one of the military bands marched to Washington’s headquarters and played for him.When the war ended in 1783, Washington eagerly returned to Mount Vernon. But his peaceful retirement was interrupted when he was unanimously chosen first president of the United States. He took office in 1789 and was reelected in 1792. In 1796, he refused a thirdterm and retired from political life. He died two years later and was buried at Mount Vernon, which one million tourists visit every year. Shortly after his death, Washington was praised in these famous words: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the heart of his countrymen.”To the American people, Washington symbolizes dignity, statesmanship, and, above all, honesty. The ramous cherry tree story, which was invented by Washington’s first b iographer, has become a lesson in morals for all American schoolchildren. The story goes like this: When George Washington was about six years old, his father gave him a hatchet(small axe), which the little boy loved to play with. One day, he tried the edge of his hatchet on his father’s favorite young cherry tree and did enough damage to kill the tree. Next morning, his father noticed the damage and ran into the house shouting, “George, do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry tree…in the garden?George’s famous reply was, “I ca n’t tell a lie, Pa, you know I can’t tell a lie. I cut it with my hatchet.”His father, pleased with the boy’s courage and honesty, quickly forgave him.Because of this story, traditional dessert on Washington’s birthday are cherry pie or a log-shaped cake decorated with cherries. Washington’s Birthday is a legal hol iday throughout the U. S. A. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February. In some state, this date is called Presidents’Day and honors both Washington and Lincoln.51.George Washington’s birthday was first celebrated________.A. before the War of IndependenceB. after he diedC. after he became the President of the United StatesD. during the War of Independence52.The famous cherry tree story________.A. was widely known when George Washington was a childB. was not a true storyC. shows that honesty can avoid punishmentD. gradually loses its influence 53.From the passage we can infer that________.A. Lincoln was born in FebruaryB. the American people love Washington because he was honestC. Washington was buried near the capitalD. cherry pie is a necess ity for Washington’s birthday54.The main theme of the passage is________.A. George Washington’s birthdayB. the famous cherry tree storyC. Washington’s honestyD. the great merits of George WashingtonText BWhat exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.”I n fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?Professor Jereald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie,” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behaviour changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls ‘the mouth cover’. He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side or the mouth. Such a gesture can be interpreted as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a wholenumber of thins, and, in particular, the context in which the lie is told.55.One sometimes tells one’s friend a “white lie” because one wants to________.A. make a profit from the other personB. avoid offending the other personC. convince the other personD. have some fun56.One research suggests that women ________.A.generally lie far more than menB.tend to tell more serious lies than menC.make more promises they can fulfill than menD.are better at telling serious lies than men57.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.politicians tend to tell intentional liesB. men are less skilled at telling liesC. businessmen seldom break their promisesD. women tend to make false promises58.People may rub their noses when they lie because ________.A.they suffer from high blood pressure at the timeB.the nose is the most sensitive part of the human bodyC.the nose reveals the liar more easily than the other parts of the faceD.they do so in order to stop themselves from telling more lies59.It can be learned from the passage that ________.A.lies can easily be detected by careful observersB.lies are usually accompanied by strange gesturesC.people are liable to tell a lie when they hear others lyingD. a liar may give away his or her intention unconsciouslyText CBritain has always been fortunate in having plentiful energy resources. At the end of theeighteenth century these were principally coal and, in places water power from swift-flowingstreams and rivers. Coal-mining is one of the oldest and most basic of all industries. Deepmining began in Britain 300 years ago and has since been an integral part of the country’s industrial life. In coal-producing areas, other industries that could be serviced by coal grewrapidly. Factories came into being because it was more economical to manufacture goods under one large roof, where power could be concentrated rather than in the small rooms and backyards of thousands of individual workers. Industrial complexes developed where natural resources, like coal and iron, were readily available and cheap labor flowed in as a result of declining living standards in rural areas.At the time this rapid industrialization had many critics but for working people there was no real choice: working long hours in factories and coal-mines seemed to promise achance of a better life than staying in country areas where jobs were scarce and poverty andhunger were common. In the early 1800s a group calling themselves Luddites smashed and destroyed new factory machinery in the Midlands and north. As craftsmen who traditionally worked at home, the Luddites were protestingthat factory machines had robbed them oftheir livelihood.Industrialization, for all its negative social effects, did bring many economic advantagesand made Britain an exceedingly rich and powerful nation．It increased the population of urban areas and expanded industrial output; it encouraged technical invention and promotedcompetition to improve the quality of goods and services offered; it also led to better communication systems. Yet the successes and achievements of industrialization were founded onthe exploitation of working people who were to endure long working hours for low wages andto live in inadequate housing, crowded together.60.The British manufacturing industry developed because of________.A.rich energy resourcesB. water powerC. the declining rural economyD. cheap labor61.As far as industrialization was concerned, the working people thought that________.A. it brought them a better lifeB. there was no alternativeC. it brought them bad luckD. it was better to work at home62.According to the author, industrialization________.A. produced bad social effectsB. brought prosperity to BritainC. made people poorD. achieved the hoped-for successes63.The successes of industrialization resulted from________.A. rich natural resourcesB. the exploitation of the working peopleC. technicalinventionD. competition among capitalistsText DIt’s rare for a European to be honored in the way that rock art expert George Chaloupkawas recently by an aboriginal(土著). “He fell in love with our country, our culture and especially our rock art,”said Mick Alderson, the Aboriginal chairman of Kakadu NationalPark’s board of management. “Perhaps, more importantly, he also fell in love with our people. This was based on respect for our people and their knowledge. In turn, George has ourrespect---more than any other European I know.”Alderson’s praise was read out at a party t o mark 65-year-old Chaloupka’s retirementfrom the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery. Chaloupka was the dedicated amateurwho discovered thousands of previously unidentified rock art sites across Arnhem Land.

I have managed to convince myself that if it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal.The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous — cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the in-habitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town, the city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the sense. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life does n’t come to an end at half past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life”by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they, leave behind— they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitant of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by, I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat. Toby. I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with those hearty males down the farm? No. He would rather have the electric imitation— coal fire any evening.67.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author ____A. used to live in the country.B. used to work in the city.C. works in the city.D. lives in the country.68.In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT____A. a strong sense of fear.B. lack of communication.C. housing conditions.D. a sense of isolation.69.The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPT____A. daily necessities.B. fresh fruits.C. designer clothes.D. fresh vegetables.70.According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those peoplewho work in large cities and live in village?A.
