Part 2 Reading comprehension (30%)

Passage 1

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for

most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly,

that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that

they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems

— and that they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships.

I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how

they themselves felt when young.

Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in

entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which

they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this

gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they

are leaders in style and taste.

Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of

what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that

case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your

honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood,

when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now

beginning to be responsible for yourself.

If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others,

especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your

sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want

to do.

31. The author is primarily addressing ________.

A. parents of teenagers

B. those who give advice to teenagers

C. newspaper readers

D. teenagers

32. The first paragraph is mainly about________.

A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parents

B. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents

C. the dominance of the parents over their children

D. the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises

33. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ________.

A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own

B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste

C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better

D. want to irritate their parents

34. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they________.

A. have already been accepted into the adult world

B. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults

C. are not likely to win over the adults

D. have a desire to be independent

35. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be ________.

A. obedient

B. co-operative

C. responsible

D. independent

Passage 2

The effects of long-distance running are psychologically uplifting. In a world full of tensions, cruelty and chaos, running helps reinforce the view that life is good and lead the runner to tranquility and harmony.

Long-distance running helps a person forget pressing family problems as well as job-related annoyances. An example comes quickly to mind. One day I had a terrible fight with my landlady over some foolish incident. We screamed and yelled at each other. A few minutes later, I set out on my daily run. By the end of the first mile, the argument seemed like a bad dream. At the end of the second, the reason for it seemed trivial. By the end of the fourth mile, I was filled with feelings of remorse and forgiveness toward the landlady. I bought her a beautiful rose, which I gave her as soon as I stepped inside the house. All was quickly well again between us. Running has that kind of effect on most runners. It makes us feel benign and serene.

Incorporating long-distance running into a daily routine will significantly change a runner’s life-style. After I had been running for some time I found that I had more energy and could do more. My days grew longer, because I seemed to need less sleep; what sleep I did get seemed more restful. My body became thinner, smoother, firmer. Running also produces a healthful feeling of pleasant excitement, which comes from adherence to a strict routine and the improved physical condition. So, running makes me feel good, about myself and about the world.

There are other long-term effects of running which are beneficial. But what benefits running does offer me are already enough to make me addicted to the sport for the rest of my life.

36. We can learn from the passage that the author’s attitude towards long-distance running is _________.

A. indifferent

B. popular

C. positive

D. negative

37. The meaning of “reinforce” in t he first paragraph is probably ________.

A. negate

B. create

C. criticize

D. strengthen

38. The author gives his own example in the second paragraph to illustrate that________.

A. it is foolish to quarrel with the landlord

B. long-distance running helps you to forget your problems and annoyance

C. we should be friendly with others

D. long-distance running makes you stronger

39. Why does long-distance running produce a healthful feeling of pleasant excitement?

A. Because you adhere to a routine.

B. Because your physical condition is improved.

C. Because you meet less unpleasant things in your life.

D. Both A and B

40. What does the author mean by the last sentence of the passage?

A. He will keep the good habit of long-distance running.

B. He will ask his family to run with him.

C. He will write an article about the benefit of running.

D. He will search for other long-term effects of running for the rest of his life.

Passage 3

Scientists estimate that about 35,000 other objects, too small to detect with radar but detectable with powerful Earth-based telescopes, are also circling the Earth at an altitude of 200 to 700 miles. This debris poses little danger to us on the Earth, but since it is traveling at average relative speeds of six miles per second , it can severely damage expensive equipment in a collision. This threat was dramatized by a cavity one-eighth of an inch in diameter created in a window of a United States space shuttle in 1983. The pit was determined to have been caused by a collision with a speck of paint traveling at a speed of about two to four miles per second. The window had to be replaced.

As more and more nations put satellites into space, the risk of collision can only increase. Measures are already being taken to control the growth of orbital debris. The United States has always required its astronauts to bag their wastes and return them to Earth. The United States Air Force has agreed to conduct low-altitude rather than high-altitude tests of objects it puts into space so debris from tests will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up. Extra shielding will also reduce the risk of damage. For example, 2,000 pounds of additional shielding is being considered for each of six space-station crew modules. Further, the European Space Agency, an international consortium, is also looking into preventive measures.

41. It can be inferred from the passage that debris was harmful to one of the space shuttles because the debris was________.

A. large

B. moving very fast

C. radioactive

D. burning uncontrollably

42. What effect did orbital debris have on one of the space shuttles?

A. It removed some of the paint

B. It damaged one of the windows

C. It caused a loss of altitude

D. It led to a collision with a space station

43. The word “them” in the second paragraph (Line 4) refers to which of the following?.

A. Astronauts

B. Wastes

C. Tests

D. Crew modules

44. Which of the following questions is NOT answered by the information in the passage? .

A. How can small objects orbiting the Earth be seen

B. What is being done to prevent orbital debris from increasing

C. Why is the risk of damage to space equipment likely to increase

D. When did the United States Air Force begin making tests in space

45. What are the main points included in the second paragraph?

A. More and more nations put satellites into space.

B. The space race is a waste of money.

C. Orbital debris will reduce the risk of damage.

D. Measures are being taken for protecting spacing vehicles against damage by space debris. Part 3 Cloze

It's never easy to admit you are in the 1 . 2 human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look 3 with honesty and think how 4 you've judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 5 of a friend. Then count the 6 when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn't it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed, and it strays out of 7 until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.

I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him

8 a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia (失眠) and stomach trouble. No physical 9 could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me what’ s 10 you, I can’t help you.”

After some hesitation, the man 11 that, as executor ( 指定遗嘱执行人) of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. 12 and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking for forgiveness and 13 a cheque as the first 14 in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you,” he said, “I think I’m 15 .” And he

16 .

A heartfelt apology can not only heal 17 relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of 18 who 19 an apology from you, someone you have 20 , or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.

Wealth and Happiness

Everybody wants to get wea lth. In today’s material world, making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money, they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood; with money, they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.

In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. By using money you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will bring you your own happiness. If you make money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy.

In a word, you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.

Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (20%)

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are some tasks for you to fulfill.

You should read the given materials carefully and make the correct choice ,then

write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Fax (facsimile) machines use the telephone network to transmit, within a few seconds, any form of printed, typed or handwritten matter, drawings, diagrams or photographs from one location to another.

Replicas of documents can be sent any distance with complete accuracy by combining the speed of the telephone with reproduction facility of the office copier. Equipment of the same type has to be in use at both the sending and receiving ends.

Operation of the equipment is simple and in the more sophisticated models loading is automatic; the originals to be transmitted are stacked in a loading tray and, after making telephone contact with the recipient, the operator presses the start button and the copies are reproduced automatically at the recipient’s machine. Copies can also be transmitted au tomatically without using the service of an operator, an important advantage over telex is that the input material does not have to be typed and checked, and complicated, detailed orders and other business documents can be sent with complete accuracy. Other applications for this equipment include the distribution of technical drawings or branches; gaining access to records stored centrally at a head office; and transmitting advertisement copy to printers.

31.Fax is ______ for facsimile.

A. a compound

B. a complex

C. an abbreviation

D. derivative

32.Fax machines use the ______ network to transmit.

A. Cable

B. telex

C. Telegram

D. telephone

33.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Fax machines can transmit as accurately as telexes.

B.Fax machines can transmit as quickly as telephones.

C.Fax machines can transmit just like the office copiers.

D.Fax machines can transmit only printed matter.

34.An important advantage of fax over telex is that ______.

A.it can transmit materials faster.

B.the materials do not need to be typed and checked.

C.The way to operate the machine is easier.

试题三

Part Ⅰ.Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: There are three reading passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers

marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

Shortly after graduation, it is time for you to start the next phase of your life. You will begin your first "real job." Generally speaking, most of what you have learned in school will not prepare you for this. There is a big difference between being a student and being an employee. Certainly, more will be expected of you.

The best career-related advice I ever received came from my former boss on my first day of work. She told me to listen and observe before suggesting any changes. I took that advice and have used it in other situations, both in and out of the workplace. While innovation is a good thing, it is important to be mindful of dynamics of the workplace. If you are entering an environment where routines are already in place, a newcomer walking in and talking about "better ways" to do things, will often be met with negative reactions. Why? First, you know nothing about why they do things the way they do. Second, you haven't gained the trust of your co-workers. Finally, people, by nature, are threatened by changes.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

There is a commonly held myth that Einstein was an underachiever at school, but it really isn't true. While he may have had difficulties with languages, Einstein excelled in physics, mathematics and music. Einstein held many patents and was a keen inventor.

While working at Swiss patent office in Bern he took it upon himself to write his own scientific papers in his spare time, mostly at weekends and in the evenings after work. 1905 was Einstein's miracle year. During this year he wrote three fundamental papers, any of which would have guaranteed him immortality in the world of physics.

His first was on a new understanding of the structure of light. Einstein argued that light is composed of small particles of energy, called photons, as well as oscillating waves.

The second paper built upon the theory of kinetics. Einstein explained how atoms were responsible for the buffeting of particles of material in suspension, like cigarette smoke suspended in air. This paper presented the first direct evidence for the existence of atoms, vindicating an idea that had been around for over 2000 years.

His third paper of 1905 was “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”. Here Einstein derived the theory of “special relativity”. In a supplementary paper four months later, he formulated the famous equation, E=mc2, where mass and energy are equivalent, showing that a very small amount of mass converts to a huge amount of energy. This is the driving force behind atomic bombs, and all the stars in the Universe.

6. According to the first paragraph, Einstein .

A. was an underachiever at school

B. didn’t like learning languages

C. was extremely good at physics

D. knew a little about music

7. What does the word “immortality” (line 4, Pa. 2) mean in the passage?

A. An everlasting fame.

B. Unending life.

C. Endless richness.

D. Human nature.

8. What effect did Einstein’s second paper have?

A. It explained how light was composed of.

B. It explained how cigarette smoke suspended in air.

C. It provided direct evidence to oppose the existence of atoms.

D. It proved an idea that remained unclear for over 2000 years.

9. Which theory did Einstein put forward in the third paper mentioned above?

A. Kinetics.

B. Electrodynamics.

C. Special relativity.

D. Not mentioned.

10. Which of the followin g words can be used to best describe the author’s attitude towards

Einstein?

A. Skeptical.

B. Critical.

C. Admiring.

D. Exaggerated. Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

An international group of experts say large dams have brought necessary electric power and water to the world. But they say the dams have also caused human suffering and environmental damage.

A new report by experts of the World Commission on Dams is the first major study of the world’s largest dams. The World Commission on Dams is an independent group. The twelve-member commission includes representatives from industry, dam owners, governments and environmental activists.

Dams provide about twenty percent of the world’s electric power. They also provide flo od

control services and water supplies for agriculture. There are about 45,000 large dams in the world. About half of the world’s dams are in China and India.

The commission studied about 125 large dams. Large dams are those more than fifteen meters high. China’s huge Three Gorges Dam and dams on India’s Narmada River were a major part of the study.

The experts found that between forty-million and eighty-million people have been forced to move from their homes because of dams. Many people are displaced because of concerns that the dams may cause floods. The study also found that many dams are not operated well and cost too much. It says dams have led to accidents and the loss of land, forests, fish, and other wildlife. Efforts to reduce the harmful effects of dams have not been successful.

The World Commission on Dams says large dam projects should be approved only if they meet rules established by the commission. It says decisions about whether to build the structures should honor the interests of everyone involved.

11. Which of the following statements is true of the World Commission on Dams?

A. It’s a dependent organization.

B. There are more than twelve members in the commission.

C. The commission includes agricultural experts.

D. The commission includes activists on environmental protection.

B. They help generating about one fifth of world’s electric power.

C. They supply water for agriculture.

D. They help controlling flood.

13. Why did the experts say “dams have also caused human suffering and environmental damage”?

A. Because many people are left homeless.

B. Because many people have suffered from floods caused by dams.

C. Because a lot of money has been spent in building dams.

D. Because dams have resulted in loss of land, forests and wildlife.

14. How many large dams have been built in China and India?

A. About 35,000.

B. About 22,500.

C. About 25,000.

D. About 15,000.

15. What is the author’s attitude towards dam building?

A. Critical.

C. Positive.

D. Negative.

Section B

Directions:There is one reading passage in this section. The passage is followed by five statements. Decide whether these statements are true or false according to the

passage. Write “T” for true and “F” for false in the brackets behind each statement.

A woman walked into Brian Webber's snack shop, grabbed a hot chocolate and went up to the cash register. She said to Webb er, “Here is a hot chocolate.” Then she handed over a bill and said. "That's a 20."

"Thank you," said Webber, the shop owner, making the change with practiced precision.

"Have a great day."

It was just another routine transaction at Webber's shop. But it was remarkable in one sense. Webber is blind. And if he doesn't use his electronic bill identifier on the counter, he can't tell if you're handing him a $1 or $100 bill. Usually, he just trusts you to tell him the truth about what you're buying and how much money you hand him. And guess what? Almost everyone does. "Ninety-nine percent of the people are fair and honest," Webber said. "There are very few people who will try to rip me off."

That may be hard to believe in this cynical age. This is the country where the president is facing possible impeachment for lying, where gas station clerks hide behind bulletproof glass, where you have to show identification to board an airplane and where you must be cleared by state police to serve as a school chaperone.

Yet somehow, in small ways and sometimes in unexpected places, the honor system endures. As an important virtue, honesty is still not out of style. In fact, with a firm basis of mutual trust, honesty may survive in a world full of cheat.

16. Brian Webber is an unusual shop owner because he is a blind man. ( )

17. Webber can tell a $1 bill and $100 bill apart by touching them with hands. ( )

18. According to what Webber says, we know that only few people try to cheat him. ( )

19. Several examples are listed in Paragraph 4 to illustrate what Webber says is believable. ( )

20. Mutual trust is important in ensuring people’s honesty. ( )

大学英语精读第一册课文翻译

第一单元 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种： 1．不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”?你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learnthenewsorsecret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”?这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3．每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意，然后在反复地听。 你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的xx。 4．抓住机会说。的确，在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多，但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如，跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们

UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”，而“获悉某
