Questions 1-5

One of the most disturbing statistics I've read for a long time was published this week. The Work Foundation claims that job satisfaction in this country has fallen alarmingly. Women's satisfaction level has fallen from 51 percent in 1992 to 29 percent today; men's has fallen from 35 percent to 20. The reason—the long-hours culture and job insecurity.

For my father's generation, work was something that had to be endured so that real life could be maintained. But my generation has been gulled into thinking that work is real life. Most work is not satisfying. Most work stinks. Most work, however well paid, is meaningless and dull.

But somehow we've been convinced that work provides self-fulfillment.

Before Mrs Thatcher, we had a famous British attitude to work--the less we did the better. Thatcher introduced the idea that, in a world where identity was so fragile, you could become real through work, through long hours and assiduous consumption, in the small amount of time you had been left after clocking off. Now Blair carries on the crusade, I've got one of the best jobs in the world--siV3ng in an once by myself all day trying to make up something that someone somewhere wit! be interested in. But I'd rather be stretched out in front of the TV, or in bed, or playing tennis, or doing just about anything else.

Much of feminist thought has been about getting what men have traditionally had without examining the underlying assumption of whether it was worth having. Feminism never ended up with a life built around creative leisure, instead, women of talent and drive threw them selves into the labour pool, believing that work and its attendant income and power would affect the change of life and consciousness that would liberate them.

Can anything be done? Only if we're willing to change the way we've been tricked into thinking. Most people now measure their lives primarily in units of currency--money saved and spent. I have a friend who'll travel halfway across London for a shoe sale, without factoring in how much of her precious time has been spent travelling. The most important truth I know is that ail we ever own is the time we were given on this earth. We need to seize it back. Now the future has arrived, and we have the means to do it--we just don't have the imagination.

1. Before the British were persuaded to realize themselves through hard work,

(A) they had little time left to themselves

(B) they had struggled hard for equal treatment

(C) they had enjoyed themselves more

(D) they had a strong desire to be set free from work

2. The sentence “Now Blair carries on the crusade" (para. 3) could be best illustrated by which

of the following statements?

(A) Blair continues to promote the idea of achieving self-fulfillment through work.

(B) Blair opposes his people to be workaholic and has launched such a campaign.

(C) Blair sets a perfect example as a hard-working person for his people in the UK.

(D) Blair is most unwilling to have his people labouring as slaves.

3. What is the author's attitude towards women's joining the workforce?

(A) Supportive.

(B) Negative.

(C) Appreciative.

(D) Defensive.

4. What is the purpose of the author in mentioning her friend who travelled halfway across

London for a shoe sale?

(A) To praise her friend for her persistence in pursuing what she wants.

(B) To introduce her friend to the general public.

(C) To give an urgent call for people to take life easy.

(D) To raise people's awareness as to how precious time is.

(A) What's So Good about Hard Work?

(B) What'd You Imagine for the Future?

(C) Work Makes Everyone Free,

(D)Seize Time Back for Your Own Sake.

Questions 6-10

“I delight in Buckingham Palace", said Queen Victoria, when she moved in three weeks after ascending to the throne. Today the 40-acre secluded garden contains specimen shrubs trees and a large lake. Eight to nine thousand people visit it during the annual garden parties.

It took George IV, on becoming King in 1820, and John Nash, Surveyor-general to George IV when he was Prince Regent, many years to turn the house into a sumptuous palace. Nash demolished the North and South wings and rebuilt them. He constructed Marble Arch as a grand entrance to the enlarged courtyard. As work continued, Nash let his costs run away with him. and Parliament complained. Joseph Hume, ml English politician and reformer fighting for financial retrenchment, said, "The Crown of England does not require such splendour. Foreign countries might indulge in frippery, but England ought to pride herself on her plainness and simplicity." Nevertheless, elegance reigned.

Queen Victoria was crowned in 1837. When she moved in, Buckingham Palace became, for the first time, the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns. There wasn't a room large enough for grand entertainments, so in 1853-55, Queen Victoria ordered the Ballroom built. 122 feet long, 60 feet wide and 45 feet high, it is, today, used for many events such as the State Banquet, the Diplomatic Reception, and memorial concerts. This is the site of Investitures, where the Queen (who was crowned in 1952) presents the recipients of British honours with their awards. During World War 11 a chapel, converted by Queen Victoria from Nash's conservatory, was bombed. Prince Philip oversaw its rebuilding as the Queen's Gallery, home to a rotating collection of art from the Royal Collection. The Gallery, currently in the process of renovation, will reopen in 2002 for the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

More than 600 rooms, including 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms comprise the castle's assets. But the "room" best known around the world is the Balcony where the Royal family' gathers on celebratory' and solemn occasions to be seen by' their subjects.

The Palace is more than a home for the Royals. It is the official administrative headquarters of the monarchy and contains the offices of their staff. It is the place where all Royal ceremonies and official banquets are held. Government ministers, top civil servants and heads of state visit to carry out their duties. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'working from home'.

6. What was the result of Joseph Hume's fighting for financial retrenchment?

(A) He succeeded in cutting the budget of Nash's rebuilding work.

(B) His opposition turned out a failure and the palace was built with extravagance.

(C) He became Nash's strong opponent and they fought with each other since then.

(D) He came to fame as a well-known reformer for financial retrenchment.

7. According to the passage, which of the following are NOT supposed to be held in the

Ballroom?

(A) Investitures.

(B) Government banquets.

(C) Religious services.

(D) Diplomatic receptions.

8. According to "the Queen's Golden Jubilee" (para. 3), how long has been the reign of the

Queen?

(A) It has to be 25 years under the reign of the Queen.

(B) 45 years should be the minimum for the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

(C) At her age of 50, people usually celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

(D)The Queen's Golden Jubilee would be celebrated at her 50 year's reign.

9. Why does Buckingham Palace bring a new meaning to the phrase "working from home"?

(A) Because Government offices are located in Buckingham Palace.

(B) Because the Royal family live and work in Buckingham Palace.

(C) Because all Royal ceremonies and official banquets are held in Buckingham Palace.

(D) Because the Royal staff have their offices and residences in Buckingham Palace.

10. According to the passage, which is the most famous place in Buckingham Palace?

(A) The Ballroom.

(B) The Queen's Gallery.

(C) Marble Arch.

(D) The Balcony,

Questions 11-15

The Lake District in north-west England is an area remarkably little affected by industrialization. The principal activity as still sheep-farming, as it has been for a thousand years, and many ancient words like …fell? for …hill? and …tam? for …lake? are still in daily use. In spite of its heavy rainfall and relative inaccessibility, its special atmosphere and spectacular natural beauty combine to make this one of England?s favourite holiday areas at all seasons of the year. But at Christmas 1968, still gripped by. the fear that foot-and-mouth disease could spread to the hill flocks and sweep like wildfire right up to the Scottish border, it was quieter than ever before in this century. Luckily not a single farm had caught tile infection, the nearest case having been an isolated one at Kendal several weeks before. but every Lakeland farmer knows that one case among the unfenced hill flocks on the fells could lead to complete annihilation of hundreds of thousands of sheep and the virtual end of the district's principal industry; you cannot replace sheep, acclimatized to their own part of the fell for generations, in the same way that you can replace cattle in a field.

Nobody could remember a Christmas like it, especially Boxing Dab, which is traditionally one of the big outdoor holidays of the Lakeland year. Normally this is a day spent following the mountain packs of hounds, felt-walking and, if the weather is propitious, skiing and skating, but this time there were none of these things. Visitors were actively discouraged, and those who did come were asked not to go on the fells, footpaths or bridleways or near farmland, while motorists were requested not to drive on minor roads and to shun the smaller valleys. The enterprising hotels which had earlier in the year decided to keep open during the winter were by the end of October having a desperate time. Hundreds of bookings had been cancelled and scores of d inner parties and young farmers? reunions eliminated. All youth hostels were closed. At least one climbing club, unable to climb, substituted a training programme of films and simulated climbs on the more substantial municipal buildings.

The weather in the area was dry, crisp, windless and cold. in fact ideal for brisk outdoor activities. But nobody was able to enjoy it. Everything was stopped: hunting, walking, climbing, skiing, motor cycle trials, sporting events of every description. All the seasonal dances, festivals, conferences, shepherds' meets and a hundred and one other social occasions abandoned. The ice was bearing on some of the lakes but you could not go skating there. Meanwhile the foxes, emboldened by an unprecedented freedom from harassment, were stalking closer to the farms and the flocks of Christmas turkeys, while the hounds sulked miserably in their kennels.

Farmers are apt to criticize some sections of the outdoor fraternity for their occasional thoughtless behaviour, but the way that walkers, climbers, skiers, fishermen, hunters and the rest went out of their way to help them at this time should never be forgotten. The general public, locals and visitors a like., tried to give the fell farmers a sporting chance, and this remarkable display of public spirit was the one bright note in a very sad time.

(A) its special atmosphere

(B) the Industrial Revolution

(B) The weather in the Lake District was ideal for brisk outdoor activities.

(D) The ice was bearing on some of the lakes in the district.

Questions 16-20

Why Men Explode

Although women get angry just as often as men, rage remains the prototypical male emotion. "My kids still talk about my 'freak-outs,'" says Kim Garretson, 54, a corporate strategist in Minneapolis, who once erupted into volcanic fur5; in a restaurant when served a still-frozen entre2e. "1 didn't express much of anything, but once in a while, I'd just blow."

Why do so many men lose their tempers? "The rage comes because there's so much frustration when you cut off something that is you. Yet that's what men do, because they're afraid that if you give emotions an inch, they'll take a mile," says psychologist Kenneth W. Christian, PhD, author of Your Own Worst Enemy. "If you don't learn how to work with your emotions, you're a shadow figure, a small incomplete version of yourself. It's only a matter of time until the house of cards that you are falls apart."

For Kim Garretson, that day came four years ago when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As often happens when illness strikes men, he realized he had nothing to lose, and everything to gain, by letting himself feel. "I'm no longer afraid of expressing almost any emotion," he says. "I get anger out with my quick, sharp tongue and move on. I use humor as an outlet, I've reconnected with old friends. I talk about the big questions of life. 1 search for spiritual meaning."

Guys, Try These

In his Dirty Harry days, Clint Eastwood never flinched. Now as a husband, father and Oscar-winning director of movies that explore the depths of men's souls, the tough guy has turned tender--but not talkative. "The men who hide their emotions the most may; in fact be the most sensitive," observes Christian. Yet men can become more emotionally expressive without tears or fears. Here are some ways to start:

·Develop a creative outlet. Hobbies like painting or playing a musical instrument can tap into a man's soul. Remember that much of the world's greatest art, music and literature was created by the allegedly emotionally challenged sex.

·Release stress and anger through exercise. "When you get to the breaking point where you just want to put your head through a wall, taking a ten-minute time-out isn't enough to calm down," says Westover, who in moments of extreme emotion finds a place to drop to the floor and do push-ups.

·Try' expressing "a little" emotion. "Start with feelings you can control, find a sympathetic ear and use the term 'a little,'" suggests Coleman, Saying you feel "a little" sad or "a little" scared

feels safer than a full declaration of vulnerability.

·Lean into the discomfort. "Rather than avoiding a feeling that you're not sure how to handle, move toward it," says psychologist Travis Bradbury, PhD, co-author of The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book. "Learning to handle emotions takes time and practice, because you need to retrain your brain, but it does get easier."

16. Kim Garretson, a 54-year-old corporate strategist, once got very angry when_______.

(A) diagnosed with lung cancer

(B) given a take musical instrument

(C) dragged into a mountainous trip

(D) served cold food in a restaurant

17. "They'll take a mile." (para. 2), 'they' refers to_______.

(A) you will sooner or later break down

(B) you will be an active figure in shadow boxing

(C) you will be afraid of expressing almost any emotion

(D) you will spend more time searching for spiritual meaning

Questions 21-25

"You're off to the World Economic Forum?" asked the Oxford economist, enviously. "How very impressive. They've never invited me."

Three days later, t queued in the snow outside the conference center in Davos, standing behind mink coals and cashmere overcoats, watched over by' Swiss policemen with machineguns. "Reporting press? You can't come in here. Side entrance, please." I stood in line again, this time behind Puffa jackets and Newsweek journalists, waiting to collect my orange

badge. Once inside. I found that the seminar I wanted to go to was being held ill a half-empty room. '"You can't sit here. All seats are reserved for white badges. Coloured badges have to stand."

An acquaintance invited me to a dinner he was hosting: "There are people I'd like you to meet." The green-badged Forum employee stopped me at the door. "This is a participants' dinner. Orange badges are not allowed." Then, later, reluctantly: "If you're coming in. please can you turn your badge around? Diners may be upset if they see you're a colour."

"Why does anyone put up with being treated like this?" t asked a Financial Times correspondent. "Because we all live in hope of becoming white badges," he said. "Then we'll know what's reall3 going on."

A leading British businessman was wearing a white badge, but it bore a small logo on the top left-hand corner: GLT. "What's a GLT?" I asked.

Ah, he said. “well, it?s a Davos club. I?m a Global Leader for Tomorrow.”

"That sounds very important," I said. "Yes." He said, "t thought so myself until I bumped into the man &o d sponsored me. on the way to my first meeting. I asked him if he was coming: and he said, 'Oh no, dear boy, I don't bother with that any, longer. I'm not a GLT any, more, I'm an IGWEL.?What's an IGWEL??I asked him. …A member of tile Informal Group of World Economic Leaders of Today."

The World Economic Forum has employed a simple psychological truth--that nothing is more desirable than that which excludes us--to brilliant effect. Year after Fear, its participants apply. to return, in the hope that this time they?ll be a little closer to the real elite. Next year, they, too, might be invited to the private receptions for Bill Clinton, Kofi Annan or Bill Gates. instead of having to stand on the conference center's steps like teenage rock fans.

It's the sheer concentration of individuals in possession of power, wealth or knowledge that makes the privately run Forum so desirable to its participants. The thousand chief executives who attend its annual meeting control, between them, more than 70 percent of international trade. Every year, they are joined by a couple of dozen presidents and prime ministers, by senior journalists, a changing selection of leading thinkers, academics and diplomats, and by rising stars of the business world. Access to the meeting is by invitation only, costs several thousand pounds a time for business participants,and is ruthlessly controlled.

(C) The journalists wear white badges.

(D) The executives wear orange badges.

Questions 26-30

Nutritional statements that depend on observation or anecdote should be given serious consideration, but consideration should also be given to the physical and psychological quirks of the observer. The significance attached to an experimental conclusion depends, in part, on the scientific credentials of the experimentalist; similarly, the significance of selected observations depends, again in part, on the preconceptions of the observer. Regimes that are proposed by people who do not look as if they enjoyed their food, and who do not themselves have a well-fed air, may not be ideal for normal people. Graham Lusk, who combined expert knowledge with a normal appreciation of good food. describes how he and Chittenden, who advocated a low-protein diet, spent some weeks in Britain eating the rations of the 1914-18 war and then got more ample rations on board ship. Lusk attributed his sense of well-being to the extra meat he was eating; Chittenden attributed it to the sea air.

When young animals are reared for sale as meat, the desirable amount of protein in their food is a simple matter of economics. Protein is expensive, so the amount given is increased up to the level at which the increased rate of growth is offset by the increased cost of the diet. As already mentioned, the efficiency with which protein is used to build the body diminishes as the percentage of protein in the diet increases. In practice, the best diets seem to contain between 15 and 25 per cent protein. It is not certain that maximum growth rate is desirable in children; some experiments with rats suggest that rapid growth is associated with a shorter ultimate expectation of life. There are practical and ethical obstacles to human experiments of life. There are practical and ethical obstacles to human experiments in which the effect of protein can be measured. Children do not grow as fast as the young animals in which there is a commercial interest, their need for protein is therefore presumably smaller, but there is no evidence that the desirable protein level, after weaning, is less than 15 per cent. An argument against this percentage of protein is that in human milk only 13 per cent of the solid material is protein. That protein is, however, of better quality than any protein likely to be given to infants that are not weaned on

cow's milk. Furthermore, milk, like other products of evolution, is a compromise. Mothers are not expendable. A species would not long survive if mothers depleted their own proteins so much in the course of feeding the first child that the prospects of later children were seriously jeopardized. Human milk is no doubt a good food, but the assumption that it is necessarily ideal is stretching belief in the beneficence and perfection of Nature too far.

26. When considering nutritional statements, apart from statements that depend on observation, we should also consider_______.

(A) the strange low-protein diet

(B) the unusual character of the observer

(C) the unexpected meals provided by the observer

(D) the ample rations of the 1914-18 war

27. "It" in line 12 refers to_______.

(A) the scientific credential

(B) the experimental conclusion

(C) the expert knowledge

(D) the sense of well-being

28. What consideration is borne in mind when giving young animals protein?

(A) The more, the better.

(B) The less, the worse.

(C) The minimum input, the maximum output.

(D) The maximum input, the minimum output.

29. According to the passage, the maximum grow-th rate many not be desirable in children, for rapid growth is associated with_______.

(A) life expectancy

(B) practical needs

(C) scientific credentials

(D) commercial interest

30. According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true?

(A) Children do not grow as fast as the young animals.

(B) The best diets seem to contain between 15 and 25 per cent protein.

(C) A species would long survive if mothers were exhausted of their own proteins.

(D) Human milk is definitely a good natural food.

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)

Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET

As a scourge of the modern society, obesity has become the world's biggest public-health issue today--the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war. Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an "epidemic" in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and Fast.

Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century?s dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That?s why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.

Unit1奔向更加光明的未来 1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里，我们承诺 将使你们学有所成。 2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。” “等一等 , ”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。” 在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。 3 让我来告诉你们, 一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你 们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过 去扎实的基础上的。 4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着 去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获 这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能 体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世 界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 6 在大学里，一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里，住在你 隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌，令你头痛欲裂！你可能喜欢早起，而你的室友 却是个夜猫子！尽管如此，你和你的室友仍然可能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心，不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训，从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以，带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情，勇敢向前去拥抱这些新的体验吧！ 7 我们相信，你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信，当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时，你们很快就会认识到，大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会，同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过：“教育代代相传，它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者，也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识，并把知识传递给你们，而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识？你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好？你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来？ 8 我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会，也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们！

远与近 一个小镇坐落在铁路延绵而来的高地上，在小镇郊外，有一座白色板子搭建的整洁小屋，装饰有绿色的百叶窗。屋的一边是一个园子，被整齐地划分为一块一块，上面种着蔬菜，还有一个葡萄架，葡萄在8月晚些时候成熟了。在屋子前面有三棵大橡树，夏季橡树浓密整齐的树阴会遮住小屋。屋子另一边则是颜色明艳的鲜花丛。这整个地方，空气中都是整洁、朴素和适度的舒适。 每天下午两点过几分，两个城市间的特快列车就会通过这个地方。这时，这辆长长的列车，会为了留一个“呼吸空间”而在小镇附近停留一下，再平稳地起步前行，但这时它的速度还达不到马力全开时的速度。在引擎强有力的掣动下，列车从容地摇晃进入视野，重重的车厢压着铁轨，发出低沉的隆隆声，然后消失在尽头。在一段时间里，在草原的边缘，每隔一段距离，汽笛吼叫，喷出一圈圈浓烟，以此可以发现列车行进的痕迹。最后，什么都听不到了，除了车轮坚实的咯咯声拍子，在那个下午昏昏欲睡的时光中慢慢消失。 二十多年来，每天当列车接近小屋时，司机就会拉响汽笛。每天当听到这个信号，一个妇女就会从小屋后廊出来并向他挥手。起初她有一个孩子牵着她的裙子站在旁边，而现在这个孩子已经长大成熟了，也每天随着她的母亲一起来到后廊向他挥手。 司机长期供职，已经年老，鬓发灰白。他驾驶着他长长的列车，满载乘客上万次地通过这片土地。他自己的孩子们已经长大，结婚。并且曾经有四次他在他前面的铁轨上看到悲剧凝成的可怕小点，像颗炮弹似的射向火车头前的恐怖阴影——一辆辆满载孩子的轻型货车，上面一排惊慌的小脸；一辆廉价的汽车停留在铁轨上，上面被恐惧麻痹的人呆若木鸡；一个消瘦的流浪汉在铁轨上面游走，他过于耳背和年老，以至于无法听到汽笛声的警告。以及一个人影带着一声尖叫掠过他的窗口——所有的这些他都见得多了。他了解一个人所能了解的所有悲伤、欢乐、危险和辛劳。在忠诚的职业生涯中，他饱经风霜。而现在他虽已年老，却在所从事的工作中学习到了诚实、勇敢和谦逊这些品质，并拥有了司机们应有的崇高和智慧。 但无论他见识过多少危险和悲剧，那座小屋和那两个妇女以一种勇敢自由动机向他挥手的景象，已经印在了他的心里，作为美丽，不朽，万劫不变和始终如一的事物，纵使灾难、悲伤和过失可能打破他的生活铁律。 看到这座小屋和这两个妇女，他总能感到从未有过的非凡幸福。他在一千种光线明暗和一百种天气变化中见到过她们。通过冬天严峻而灰蒙蒙的光线，穿过地上褐色而被冰封的残梗，他见到过她们。在绿色的富有魅力魔法的四月，他见到过她们。 他感到对她们和这座小屋十分亲切，如同一个男人对他自己的孩子们一样。终于，她们生活的画面被深深地刻在了他的心里，他感觉他完全了解她们一天中每时每刻的生活。于是他决定有一天当自己退休的时候，他将去找到她们，最后和她们聊一聊，因为她们的生活已经和他自己的深深融为一体了。 这一天终于来到了。最后，司机在这两个妇女居住的小镇的车站下了车，走上月台。他在铁路上的职业生涯已经结束。他是公司一个拿养老金的人了，没有工作要去做。司机慢慢地走出车站，走入小镇的街道。一切对于他都十分陌生，就好像他从来没有见过这个小镇。他继续走着，心中越来越迷惑与不解。这真是他经过数以万次的小镇吗？这真的是他从列车的高窗里经常见到的房子吗？一切是那么陌生，不安，好像一座梦中的城市。随着不断向前走，他的内心愈发困惑起来。 现在房屋渐渐变为小镇边区散布的村落，大街也渐渐冷落成为一条乡村小路——两个妇女就住在其中一所村舍里。司机在闷热和尘埃中沉重地慢慢走着。最后他站在他要寻找的房屋前面。他马上知道他找到了正确的地方。他看到了屋子前高大的橡树、花坛、菜园和葡萄架，以及更远处那铁轨的闪光。

新视野大学英语读写教程第一册课文翻译及课后答案

Unit 1 1学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 2我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 3到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 4好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不。大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 5直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 6网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 7我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 8学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。 III. 1. rewarding 2. communicate 3. access 4. embarrassing 5. positive 6. commitment 7. virtual 8. benefits 9. minimum 10. opportunities IV. 1. up 2. into 3. from 4. with 5. to 6. up 7. of 8. in 9. for 10.with V. 1.G 2.B 3.E 4.I 5.H 6.K 7.M 8.O 9.F 10.C Sentence Structure VI. 1.

He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato, Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology(认识论) and logic，and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructed no philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect(宗派). 译文： 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。

Spiders Spiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma (combined head and thorax) is only separated from the opisthosoma (abdomen) by a narrow waist, in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit. All spiders produce silk，but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs. All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (at least one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin，and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6, 4, 2 or 0)，as well as 8 legs. (By the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn9t really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa, trochanter; femur, patella, tibia, tarsus, metatarus, and claws])
