快速阅读答案及解析
大学英语四级快速阅读专项突破(一)【答案与解析】1.N当出现all这种过于绝对的词语时，考生应该引起注意。
一般这样的命题多数是不正确的。
首段中有句话：“All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their hcmes...”命题中all的说法过于绝对。
2.Y该命题是对原文第二段首句话的同义改写。
3.N原文中第二段首句中写到，“of the 600 spiders in Britain only 12 are str ong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命题中说的当它们刺进人的皮肤通常能致人死亡。
4.N原文中说，“Arachne became depressed after this ϳand in the end she hung herself.”注意代词this指代上面的句子，结合上一句一起理解，命题显然是错误的。
5. NG文章中只出现过一次Tim Tegenaria，所以该题很好定位，即最后一段的第二句。
可是文章中并没有出现tarantula spiders。
6.Y该命题定位在最后一段倒数第三句话处。
7.NG首先定位Money spiders出现的位置是文章的最后的两句，可是并没有提到它是最小的。
8.32,000该题由关键词species of spider定位在第二段倒数第二句。
9.looking at their palps 该题定位在倒数第二段的首句。
10.the Goliath spider 本题答案在最后一段的首句。
大学英语四级快速阅读专项突破(二) 【答案与解析】1. NG关键词语是new to all the tourism professionals,原文没说到。
2. N关键词语是stir up，意思为挑拨，挑起，贬义词;原文是encourage鼓励，鼓舞。

U校园 综合英语1快速阅读练习附答案
快速阅读unit 1The War on College Cafeteria TraysA) College cafeteria food is about to get a bit tougher to take – literally. This fall thousands of students will have to navigate their university dining halls without one crucial feature: the cafeteria tray.B) From the University of California at Santa Cruz to Virginia Tech, cafeteria trays are disappearing, enabling universities and food-service companies to reduce food waste, lower energy costs and make college campuses more environmentally sustainable. The reasoning goes like this: When students are allowed to use trays, they tend to roam around the cafeteria grabbing food with abandon until space on the tray runs out. If you remove their trays, you make it impossible for them to carry a surplus of dishes, and they will make their selections more carefully and be satisfied with less food overall. That saves on food. Further, getting rid of trays means dishwashers have less to wash. That saves on water and energy.C) “Dining facilities on campuses take up to five times more water, five times more energy, five times more waste per square foot than the dorm,” says Monica Zimmer, a spokeswoman for Sodexo, a food-service company that serves approximately 600 US campuses.D) Exactly how much greener can a tray-banned campus get? According to a July report released by Aramark Higher Education Food Services, a dining company serving about 500 schools nationwide, students waste 25 percent to 30 percent less food when they aren’t carrying a tray, and dining halls save a third- to a half-gallon of wash water per tray, on average. The University of Maine at Farmington went trayless in February 2007, reporting an overall reduction in food waste of 65,000 pounds and288,288 gallons of water conserved. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech – which implemented a no-tray program in response to the drought of 2007 – estimated that the university saved 3,000 gallons of water per day by giving up the trays.E) The push for conservation doesn’t end with trays. George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, is at the fore of the sustainable-dining-hall campaign. In September, it will open Southside. It isn’t a cafeteria; it’s a full-service food court with takeout meals and indoor and outdoor seating – and no trays. There are several food stations to choose from – including the “Spaghettaboutit” pizza-and-pasta station and the “After All” dessert bar – and each offers its own silverware, dishes and seating area. “Without the tray, it just doesn’t give you that I need to go everywhere and fill up my tray and then sit down option,” says Denise Ammaccapane, resident district manager at George Mason. “Instead you’re saying, I like this item on the menu today. That’s what I’m going to have.”F) Southside will also use eco-friendly chemical cleaners, biodegradable to-go containers, and bulk sugar and ketchup dispensers instead of disposable packets. Kitchen waste oil will be filtered and reused before being donated to biodiesel-fuel depots. “That’s how we get to as close to zero percent waste as possible,” says Zimmer of Sodexo, which provides George Mason’s dining services.G) Indeed, doing away with lunch trays is just one piece of a grander scheme to make dining halls and campuses carbon neutral. Schools have begun buying organic and locally grown foods, for example, or sometimes growing food right on campus. At the University of Maryland, there’s a tomato and herb garden atop one of the dining facilities; it was planted to generate interest in local and sustainable farming, and is watered in part using runoff from refrigerator condensation (凝结的水珠).H) The green message gets broadcast in a variety of ways: at Claremont-McKenna College in California, students erected a giant pyramid of waste – a stack ofstyrofoam to-go containers – designed to encourage students to eat in. “Fundamentally, I think consumers have to understand that some of the responsibility lies with them to create less waste,” says Helene York, director of Bon Appétit Management, a company that has been dedicated to sustainable food initiatives at colleges nationwide since 1999. To York, eliminating cafeteria trays is just one tactic to address the issue of food waste; reducing the size of serving dishes and portions, she says, might be just as effective. As part of its Low Carbon Diet program, launched in April, Bon Appétit has challenged all 80 of its accounts to reduce food waste by 25 percent by April 2010. The company provides the educational material and lets its colleges decide how it should be implemented.I) Not every school can afford to build sustainable eateries from scratch, and not every school can even get rid of trays. Many colleges run up against common infrastructural and cultural barriers – such as cafeteria washroom rollers that can’t easily accommodate plates that aren’t on trays, or campus residents who just can’t get on board with a tray-free lunch. At some schools, like Middlebury in Vermont, trays were simply removed, and administrators let the grumbling subside. But at most other colleges, the movement has been grounded in community discussion on sustainability concepts –so students and faculty are on board with the idea. Says Chris Stemen, senior director of sustainability and environmental stewardship (管理工作) at Aramark: “Part of why you’re at college is for the learning environment – new mindset, new habits, new ideas.”1. Tray-free program can avoid not only the waste of food, but also the waste of water and energy on campus.1) B2. The University of Maryland use refrigerator condensed water to irrigate vegetables planted on top of one dining hall.1) G3. George Mason University takes the lead in promoting the concept of sustainable dining facilities.1) E4. Compared with the dorm, the dining hall uses more water and energy, andwitnesses more waste.1) C5. The pyramid of styrofoam containers are used to remind students to eat in for environmental protection.1) H6. Southside will reuse the processed waste oil before giving it away for industrial use.1) F7. The drought made Georgia Tech eliminate trays to save water.1) D8. Removal of trays and reduction in dish size can help solve the problem of food waste.1) H9. Without trays, students will settle on one menu item rather than take too much food.1) E10. Some universities still keep trays because of the infrastructural problems and cultural barriers there.1) IShould Students be Paid for Good Grades?Should Students be Paid for Good Grades?A) Back in the day, a good report card earned you a parental pat on the back, but now it could be money in your pocket. Experiments with cash incentives (激励) for students have been catching on in public-school districts across the country, and so has the debate over whether they are a brilliant tool for hard-to-motivate students or bribery (贿赂) that will destroy any chance of fostering a love for learning. Either way, a rigorous (严谨的) new study –one of relatively few on such pay-for-performance programs –found that the programs get results: Cash incentives help low-income students stay in school and get better grades.B) According to a study released today by the social-policy research group MDRC, a nonpartisan (无党派的) organization perhaps best known for evaluating state welfare-to-work programs, cash incentives combined with counseling offered “realhope”to low-income and nontraditional students at two Louisiana community colleges. The program for low-income parents, funded by the Louisiana Department of Social Services and the Louisiana Workforce Commission, was simple: enroll in college at least half-time, maintain at least a C average and earn $1,000 a semester for up to two terms. Participants, who were randomly selected, were 30 percent more likely to register for a second semester than students who were not offered the supplemental financial aid. And the participants who were first offered cash incentives in spring 2004 – and thus whose progress was tracked for longer than that of subsequent groups before Hurricane Katrina abruptly forced researchers to suspend the survey for several months in August 2005 – were also more likely than their peers to be enrolled in college a year after they had finished the two-term program.C) Students offered cash incentives in the Louisiana program didn’t just enroll in more classes; they earned more credits and were more likely to attain a C average than nonparticipants. And they showed psychological benefits too, reporting more positive feelings about themselves and their abilities to accomplish their goals for the future. “It’s not very often that you see effects of this magnitude for anything that we test,” notes Thomas Brock, MDRC’s director for young adults and postsecondary-education policy.D) Although US college enrollment has climbed, college completion rates have not. Only a third of students who enroll in community colleges – which educate nearly half the undergraduates in the US – get a degree within six years. Hence the interest in this study among such philanthropic (慈善的) powerhouses as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which helped fund the MDRC study. (MDRC, by the way, was created in 1974 by the Ford Foundation and a group of federal agencies; originally named the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation, it now goes only by the abbreviation.)E) Given that the follow-up study of the program was disrupted as the schoolsstruggled to rebuild enrollment and facilities in the wake of Katrina, it’s difficult to draw any long-term conclusions about the effects that cash incentives will have on community-college students. However, there could soon be more data to parse: with a grant from the Gates Foundation, MDRC plans to test cash incentives at community and state colleges in California, New Mexico, New York and Ohio.F) Despite the impressive, though short-term results of the study, some critics in higher education are concerned that cash incentives will encourage students to start taking easier courses to ensure they’ll do well enough to pocket the money. “Everyone knows what the gut classes are when they’re in college,” notes Kirabo Jackson, an assistant professor of labor economics at Cornell who has studied cash incentives for high school students. “By rewarding people for a GPA, you’re actually giving them an impetus to take an easier route through college.”Other critics note that students’internal drive to learn may be sapped (削弱) as they focus on getting an external reward.G) But those involved with the study note that particularly in this economy, cash incentives could help part-time students devote more hours to their studies. Faced with soaring bills for tuition, books and housing, many college students need a job just to get by. In the Louisiana program, all the participants were low-income parents, three-quarters of whom were unmarried or living without a partner. “We’re talking about adults who have quite a number of other responsibilities,” says Brock. “When you’re talking about minors who are required by law to be in school, that’s a different situation.”H) Arnel Cosey, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and provost (教务长) for the City Park Campus at New Orleans’Delgado Community College, one of two schools in the study, says she understands why some people are concerned that cash incentives are nothing more than bribery. “But on the other hand, I think because I am involved with these students daily, I’m not sure that I’m opposed to bribing,” she says.“If that’s what we need to do for these people to reach these goals, which ultimately will lead to them having a better life, I wish I had more money to give.”I) Besides, as Cosey adds, if all goes well, students will be getting cash incentives for their work soon after graduating – in the form of a paycheck. “Most of us wouldn’t turn up at work every day if we weren’t getting a check,” she says. “What’s wrong with starting the payment a little early?”1. Low-income students in two Louisiana community colleges are motivated by cash incentives to go on with their study.1) B2. Students in the Louisiana program are more positive about themselves and their future life.1) C3. MDRC will analyze more data to learn the effects of cash incentives in some community and state colleges.1) E4. Some critics are worried that students may avoid difficult courses to make sure that they can get the cash incentives.1) F5. Students with cash incentives are more likely to stay in colleges than those without.1) B6. About two-thirds of community-college students are not able to graduate in six years.1) D7. What adult students differ from underage students is that they have many responsibilities to fulfill.1) G8. People who don’t think much of cash incentives are afraid that some students’ internal learning motivation would be weakened by the external reward.1) F9. With the promotion of cash incentives in public-school districts, people start to argue over whether they will encourage or damage students’ love for learning.1) A 10. Because of the rising expenses of study and housing, many college students can’t make ends meet without a job.1) Gunit 2Building Relationships in Blended FamiliesA) Blended families often have a tough time of it. It’s never the intention to make life difficult, but when parents, for example, take on children from another marriage, they will have already formed their own ideas and ideals about how children should be brought up. The difference is that the new parent has a lot of adjustments to do, as there is more than child-rearing involved. The whole host of loyalties and insecurities come into play when one tries to build relationships within blended families.B) The dynamics of the family and the support from other members cannot always be depended upon. Often when marriages break up or even when the blending of the family is between different faiths, there are other people’s feelings to consider and relationships can only be built if the dynamics of the relationship are fully understood. The child who misbehaves may actually be letting out signals such as “You are not my parent” and these signals show the distress they feel at being placed with a new parent with whom they are unfamiliar. Having come through a family crisis in which they have lost one parent, they don’t know what the boundaries are, and can test these.C) A new parent within a family may never be the natural parent of a child. That child has loyalties to their natural parents, or may even have a fear of recrimination (吵架) which is left over from the marriage. It’s time to sit down and talk to them. Admitting that you don’t know their feelings, but what you want is a start. Admitting that you are inexperienced as a parent and knowing that they still love their natural parents are steps in the right direction. Just because their mom or dad is the ex of your new love doesn’t make them the enemy. The relationship ended, which led to your having a relationship in the first place. Accept that, and let the children know that you are there for them, but that you’re new at the job and may need their help. Nobody iscomparing you, unless you yourself bring up comparisons.D) Be careful to let them know you are a different person and that you may all need to get together to set out ground rules. Let your partner know that talking to the kids and deciding who does what are vital to make the relationship work. The children are in a new situation. They have expectations of adults, and often are disappointed because their new mom or dad isn’t the same as the one they lost. Never be afraid to talk to them about it. An open-minded relationship is better than one that seeks avoidance of certain subjects. The kids need to talk about their feelings without feeling that the new parent detests their old parent. Loyalty is something which is earned by teaching them to have trust in life, and by letting them take their own time to trust you.E) The in-laws may have their own ideas about the upbringing of the children. With the welfare of the children at heart, try not to show bad feelings toward their grandparents, even if your new partner is married outside their family. A child who gains a new set of grandparents still needs contact with the old grandparents, and they shouldn’t be denied this chance, if they are open enough to accept that their son or daughter has moved on. Often bonds are solid between children and grandparents, and talking with the kids will give you a great indication of whether this is the case. Their parent who is now married to you may no longer be related to those ex in-laws, but the children may feel they want to be. Show no bias, and accept this as a bonus for the kids, rather than part of the baggage which comes with the marriage.F) The children within a blended family may not see eye to eye. They may feel favored by one parent and neglected by another. Fairness is essential, and letting the children know they are loved and welcome is very important. The children need to get on together, and siding with one against another causes even more disharmony. Your children may not want to share your love, but explain to them that the love you feel for them is something constant, that never changes, but that embraces and welcomesthe other kids as well. The children of broken homes who come together into a new relationship will already have a past which includes disappointment. They have less trust than children who have always had the same parents living together, with good reason. They need to feel secure.G) Encourage the children to help each other, and understand that all the doubts they feel are also felt by the other kids. Make them see that you are all in the same place and all have troubled backgrounds, but that together, this can make them much stronger as a family.H) Building relationships within a blended family takes a lot of growing together. It takes plenty of time together to find things you have in common. It also takes respect for each individual in that situation, as each person sees things differently and will have his own perspective. Once you can learn to listen and adapt to fit those members of the family into the family unit, and they learn to listen and adapt to their new family, relationships can be built on a firm foundation and give them back their sense of security.1. Broken marriage may leave kids with disappointment and it is not so easy for them to trust other people.1) F2. For children’s sake, a new parent should show due respect to their natural grandparents.1) E3. Fairness and love to children are important to a mixed family.1) F4. A new parent should make children know he is different from their natural one and would like to work with them to lay down basic principles of the new family.1) D5. Kids in blended families commit wrongdoings to show their distrust of the new parent and feeling of insecurity.1) B6. To accept the fact that kids still love their natural parents is the right way to go for an inexperienced new parent.1) C7. Members in a blended family should work together to find shared interests andvalue different perspectives.1) H8. If a new parent makes children feel free to talk about their true feelings, he can gradually get them closer to him and cultivate the sense of loyalty in them.1) D9. Marrying a person who has children from the former marriage requires one to adapt himself to his partner’s way of child-educating.1) A10. There is no reason for a man to hate a child just because the child is from the previous marriage of the man’s spouse.1) CA Prenup (婚前协议）May Be Right for YouA) People moan and groan about prenups, and at first blush. It’s easy to see why: Couples may not want to consider how their marriage will end when they intend to be married for life. A marriage is a contract, and a prenuptial agreement is putting finer points on that contract.B) A prenup is a legal agreement that specifies how couples will divide assets in the event of divorce. It is a statement that allows for the possibility of divorce, and considers what to do in the event of a divorce. When couples marry and each has significant assets, a prenuptial agreement may be beneficial in keeping those assets divided in the event of the dissolution of the marriage. Couples who have children from previous marriages may also want to use one in order to protect assets for their children. Some religions find the prenuptial agreement morally repugnant (让人反感的). Churches, like the Roman Catholic Church, don’t ban these types of agreements but certainly do frown upon them. Since a marriage is a lifetime binding commitment to the Catholic Church, a prenup simply doesn’t make sense and appears to contradict church teachings.C) Historically, prenuptial agreements were for wealthy people who needed to protect extensive assets, a business or investments. But more and more middle class people are drafting prenups. And with so much about same-sex marriage in the news,I also have to mention that they’re not just for straight people. A 2011 survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers found that prenups had increased 73 percent over a five-year period. One interesting factoid (说法) : More women are requesting them.D) Why? For one thing, an ailing (境况不佳的) economy has people think about money more. We all know the statistic that about 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, so people are being a little more realistic about a possible split. And people are getting married later in life. The average age of first marriage in the United States is 27 for women and 29 for men, up from 23 for women and 26 for men in 1990 and 20 and 22 in 1960. Because they’re getting married older, more people have actual assets they want to protect in the event the relationship goes south.E) Here you might be tempted to say that you and your fiancé have no assets. You can’t take half of nothing, right? Not so. In fact, you can end up taking half of less than nothing – meaning your spouse’s debts could haunt you. And again, I want to point to that rising age of newlyweds – more and more people are taking liabilities to the altar – like credit card debt and student loans. It makes perfect sense that spouses would want to protect each other from any liability one has going in. You’re saying “I do,” not “I owe.” Also, you probably have some assets you haven’t thought about that you’d like to keep separate – like a retirement plan or an expected inheritance. Or what about property your parents may pass down to you and your siblings?F) Because prenups are such an emotionally charged issue, it’s important to proceed with caution; but start talking sooner rather than later. That means as you get engaged. This shouldn’t be a last-minute request for a signature outside the church. If you’re recently engaged, this is the perfect time to bring it up because you can use your taxes as an excuse. Next year, you’ll file jointly, so even though it’s uncomfortable, suggest you exchange returns as a way to start the conversation.G) Many people shy away from the perceived cost. According to a new study by The Wedding Report, the average engagement ring costs over $3,300. By comparison, the attorney fees for a prenup will probably start at about $2,000. You’ll need to contact a family attorney and both you and your betrothed will both need your own lawyer. Don’t try the do-it-yourself route on this one. Your cousin the notary is not going to cut it. Anything you draft on your own will not stand up in court.H) There are some online resources if you’re very concerned about costs and just need a simple agreement. For example, has a “prenup package” that starts at $600. Some general guidelines: When preparing a prenup, you’d of course address any property, retirement accounts, and any debt. But you should also consider sentimental belongings like furniture and other non-traditional things like pets. Sorting it out now could save you a major headache in the future.I) Also, even if a couple doesn’t draft a formal prenuptial agreement, it is critical that they have a completely honest discussion about finances prior to the “I Do’s”. That means coming clean about any outstanding debts and setting some parameters (决定因素) about how you will manage your finances as a couple.J) Many studies cite financial issues as one of the top causes of divorce –right alongside communication problems and infidelity (不忠实). Why? Frequently, couples don’t realize they have very different values around money until they’ve tied the knot and co-mingled their accounts. Don’t make that mistake! If it’s a June wedding, first go for the prenup.1. Even without a written prenup, a couple should discuss the financial issues frankly and sincerely before the wedding ceremony.1) I2. As a sensitive issue, talks on prenups should be made with caution to avoid hurting feelings.1) F3. Prenups can be applied not only to the marriages of heterosexual people but also to the ones of gays or lesbians.1) C4. As people get married older, they may bring debts to the marriage.1) E5. People feel uneasy about prenups because the agreements make them think about the possible divorce even before marriage.1) A6. Some websites can help make simple agreements with lower fee charged.1) H7. While prenups were mainly for the rich in the past, more middle class people also join the rank today.1) C8. A man and his fiancée should have their lawyers draft the prenups rather than do it by themselves.1) G9. Because of the high divorce rate nowadays, people think more about the ways to protect their assets in the case of a breakup.1) D10. Some religions disapprove of a prenup, because it is not consistent with religious doctrines about marriage.1) Bunit 4Reasons Why We Need HeroesA) Heroes nurture us when we’re young. Our research has shown that when people are asked to name their own personal heroes, the first individuals who often come to mind are parents and caretakers. All of us owe whatever success we’ve had in life to the people who were there for us when we were young, vulnerable and developing. When we recognize the great sacrifices that these caretakers have made for us, we’re likely to call them our heroes.B) Heroes reveal our missing qualities. Heroes educate us about right and wrong. Most children’s stories serve this didactic (教导的) purpose, showing kids the kinds of behaviors that are needed to succeed in life, to better society, and to overcome villainy (邪恶). It is during our youth that we most need good, healthy adult role models who demonstrate exemplary behaviors. But adults need heroic models as well.Heroes reveal to us the kinds of qualities we need to be in communion (交融) with others.C) Heroes save us when we’re in trouble. This principle explains the powerful appeal of comic book superheroes. People seemingly can’t get enough of Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, and many others. We are moved by stories of magical beings with superhuman powers who can instantly remove danger and make everything right. This principle also explains our extreme admiration for society’s true heroic protectors –law enforcement (执行) officers, firefighters, nurses, and soldiers.D) Heroes pick us up when we’re down. Life inevitably hands us personal setbacks and failings. Failed relationships, failed businesses, and health problems are common life experiences for us. Our research has shown that it is during these phases of great personal challenges in our lives that heroes are most likely to inspire us to overcome whatever adversity we’re facing. Heroes lift us up when we’re personally in danger of falling down emotionally, physically, or spiritually.E) Heroes give us hope. Independent of our own personal well-being, we cannot help but recognize that the world is generally a troubled place with warfare, poverty, famine, and unrest. Heroes are beacons (灯塔) of light amidst this vast darkness. Heroes prove to us that no matter how much suffering there is in the world, there are supremely good people around whom we can count on to do the right thing, even when most other people are not. Heroes bring light into a dark world.F) Heroes validate our preferred moral worldview. One fascinating theory in psychology is called terror management theory, which proposes that people’s fear of death strengthens their loyalty to cultural values. Just the simple act of reminding people of their mortality leads them to exaggerate whatever moral tendencies they already have. For example, studies have shown that reminders of death lead people to reward good-doers and punish bad-doers more than they normally would. Just。
大学英语快速阅读College English.1附习题7To Face the Music
To Face the MusicLike every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-daylife of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is "to face the music."When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it does not mean he's planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your bossto explain why you did this and that, and why you didn't do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you." It is onlythat we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!©The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American, young and old. It is more than 150 years old. And where did this expression come from? One of the explanations comes from the Americannovelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, "Well, it's time to face the music." And that is exactly what they did —facing the orchestra which was justbelow them. An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "to face the music" comes to mean, "havingto go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you know you have no other choice."Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.Which of the following is closest in meaningto "sour music" in paragraph 2?A.A piece of unpleasant m usic.B.Somethinq unpleasant.C.An unpleasant deal.D.Tough work given by the boss.2.Where did the expression "to face themusic" probably come from?A.It came from a novel written by James FenimoreCoooer.B.It came from actors waiting to go on thestage.C.It came from children who were scolded by their angry father.D.It came from employees who were blamed by their boss.3.Which of the following is the definition of the word "wing" in "waiting in the wings to go on the stage"?A.The manner of flying.B.The dressing room in the theater.C.An impatient way.D.The unseen area on either side of thestage of a theater.4.According to the passage, an actor may feel nervous or even frightened on the following occasions EXCEPT when .A.he is out of conditionB.he f aces the orchestra which was just below himC.he steps onto the stage in front of an audienceD.he c annot remember what he should say on the stage5.

大学英语快速阅读College English.1附习题6Alan Greenspan
Alan GreenspanAlan Greenspan was chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (until January 31, 2006) and arguably one of the most powerful individuals in the United States. Greenspan had demonstrated a sharp intellect along with an unusual ability to keep his independence while stillfollowing the trends of political power in Washington, D.C.He was born in New York City in 1926, son of a stockbroker and a saleswoman. He showed early signs of mathematical genius, yet after high school chose to attend the Julliard School of Music and later played the clarinet ( i^SIa ) in a traveling swing band in the mid 1940s. Then he abandoned a musiccareer to obtain bachelor's and master's degrees in economics from New York University and began doctoral studies at Columbia University. He left Columbia when he ran out of money and took a job later as an economist for the National Industrial Conference Board. In 1977 he eventually got his Ph.D. from New York University.In the 1950s, Greenspan became a -- dedicated follower of Ayn Rand, whose philosophy of "enlightened selfishness" appealed to Greenspan more than the free-market skepticism of John Maynard Keynes and many other economists of his generation. However, Greenspan took a more pragmatic and politically aware route than many of theuncompromising (h e r o e s of Rand's novels.Greenspan later started a consulting company that offered economic forecasts to large companies and financial institutions, at a time when few corporations had their own professional staff economists. In the 1960s, Greenspan was a director of policy research forRichard Nixon but did not come to Washington until the 1970s, when he became chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Gerald Ford. In this position, Greenspan got his first taste of experience being grilled ( JSt® ) before angry senators and congressmen. Undoubtedly that was valuable training for parts of his present job.Greenspan returned to private life and resumed his economic consulting practice after the election of President Jimmy Carter. In 1987, he was appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve Board by President Ronald Reagan and had served under both Republican and Democratic administrations.Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.
