Unit 1

Lesson A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word

for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the

bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.

The Government‘s program of university reforms were 1

on Monday. The reforms are a very welcome start and go about as far as they can to shake up higher education. But it will take more than policy to change the market for higher education, where students, parents and employers value the 2 of a university more than the teaching it delivers.

For critics, the Government‘s desire to 3 higher education is somewhat a solution. There are best universities in Britain, producing some of the most cited research in the world. Education is one of Britain‘s biggest exp orts. This is true. But it 4 too much on research at the 5 of education.

The Government‘s White Paper itself does not sugar-coat the situation. A fifth of all graduates don‘t work in 6 or management jobs. Nearly two thirds of graduates say their degree is worse than they 7 and a third say that‘s because of teaching.

Companies say that universities are not producing students who make good job 8 . More than half of all graduates aren‘t in jobs that even require a degree.

In a market where forty per cent of young people now go to university and pay record amounts to do so, you might think that healthy 9 would solve this problem. If the universities aren‘t good value for money, why aren‘t new entrants eating their lunch?

But that‘s not easy. ―As someone who started a free school and now wants to start a university, it is infinitely 10 to start a ne w university than it is to start a school,‖ says Ed Fidoe, a co-founder of School 21.

Lesson B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with then statements attached to it.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the

paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph

more than once. Each paragraph marked with a letter. Answer the questions by

marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

A) ―Children doing tests should not cause such hysteria(歇斯底里). The reality is that in good schools, children are not stressed. Last week witnessed red-letter days, or so those who oppose the Government‘s plans to improve education would have you believe. ‖ On Tuesday, parents kept their children at home. They did so because the Government forced primary aged children as young as six and seven to take many tests.

B) This could have been a major disruption, except the vast, vast majority of parents didn‘t join in. By and large, children came into school for a normal day of lessons. I know this because as someone responsible for the education of around 20,000 primary aged children, fewer than 10 were kept away from school.

C) The basic precondition of the ?Let Kids be Kids‘ boycott was a flawed one. It shouted that

testing is stressing children out - so much so that they feel failures and are having nightmares about the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 tests. The fact is that whether they are Key Stage 1 tests this month, or Key Stage 2 tests this week, the notion of children doing tests should not be causing such hysteria.

D) The reality is that in good schools, children often do not even know they are being tested.

Actually in good schools, most children are being taught and tested in the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic as well as exploring the more creative side of the curriculum (课程). In good schools they do all of this - and what‘s more they have a good dose of fun too.

E) Common sense tells us that to be able to know how well a child is doing, you need to test them

at the beginning of their time at school so you know their starting point, test them half way through so we know how well they are progressing and, finally, test them at the end of their time at school so that we know they are suitably prepared for the next step of their education.

F) Where children are feeling so distressed, you have to ask what on earth is the school doing to

make them feel that way? The first stop for any parent whose child feels this way is a frank discussion with the head. Let‘s be clear: these are tests, not exams. We are not talking about exam hall conditions, with rows of tiny children sitting in fearful silence. Tests can be

incorporated into the school day to such an extent that children don‘t even realize they are being tested.

G) In other schools, children simply take the tests in their stride and even enjoy the opportunity to

show what they can do. Of course, the anti-test parents also cry foul play that these tests are being used for more evil means: in other words, to measure how well teachers are teaching.

Heaven for fend!

H) But what is so terribly wrong with that? No teacher doing a decent job should have any

concerns in this respect. Those who feel this is a step too far, are the same individuals who complain about the less and less accountability in our schools – well, what better way to hold our schools to account that actually see how well teachers are teaching? Can you get right the SAT question for 11-year-olds an education minister got wrong?

I) Another associated accusation is that the tests are simply too hard. They are hard and rightly

so. As a country, we are behind our international counterparts in an awful manner. And the simple fact is that our six and 11-year-olds will be required to compete with other six and 11-year-olds in countries that are leagues ahead of us.

J) They need to be prepared for this future, and so it is compelling for us to ensure they put the ground work in now. But that doesn‘t mean to the exclusion of everything else - pupils can, and do, learn the basic things of these disciplines and explore, play and have fun. Those wishing to score political points laugh when a minister is puzzled on a question about nouns, verbs or prepositions. I would have been confused too - and I say that as a head with more than

20 years‘ experience and an English Literature graduate on top of that.

K) But that, surely, is the whole point: my generation - and indeed most generations until now –simply weren‘t schooled in this. But we should have been. Spending time to secure these foundations need not be at the cost of creativity or enjoyment. The splendid Grande Dame of architecture, the late Zaha Hadid would surely not have been able to create such works of genius without having a detailed and fundamental knowledge of engineering and the basic knowledge of architecture.

L) Ultimately, to see children being paraded in front of cameras holding posters and being used to make political points was deeply discomforting. These children also spoke to journalists in words that clearly were not their own (a six year old denouncing ?Cameron‘ is such case in point). My plea to all of those who showed sympathy to the ?Let Kids be Kids‘ strike is to do just that: let them be kids - let them learn and let them play, but let them do this in school.

M) The week ended with a second red-letter day. More cheers appeared, with the news that the Government was revising its plans to compel all schools to become academies. I‘m not a politician, so bluntly, I‘m not interested in the slight differences of the whys and the wherefores. I‘m interested in what is right for pupils and what is right for parents. And so what I can say, with authority, is that having been a head teacher in academies and in council-run schools, there is just no contest.

N) Being an academy is streets ahead when it comes to being able to run a school in the way that is most effective and gets the best results. And what‘s more, academies are also leagues a head

when it comes to accountability – Academy heads are directly accountable to their local parents: there is no council acting as ―intermediary(调解人)‖.

O) In refining its plans, the Government has shown itself to be listening and responding to concerns. But the simple fact is that all schools would benefit greatly from becoming academies and teaching professionals across the country should now seize this opportunity.

Lesson C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 3 with a single line through the center. (10)

Passage One

Pizza is a sort of magic trick. It‘s a plate you can eat. So, what went wrong when I made it? Nothing, really. Because, provided you know how to make your own bread, making your own pizza is really, really easy.

You can go from zero to pizza in about an hour and a half. Start by boiling a kettle of water, which must be ―hand-hot‖ – this is the trickiest part of all bread. If it is too warm, it will kill the yeast, and the bread won‘t rise. What‘s hand-hot water, I hear you ask? Delia, who was in a helpful mood when she wr ote this chapter, describes it as water ―you can hold your finger in without discomfort‖. You might think that she could have suggested a temperature, so you could test it with a thermometer, instead of periodically dipping your hand in a jug. Sadly, this thought doesn‘t seem to have occurred to Delia.

Once you‘ve got your dough, roll it into a circle, and you‘re ready to add your toppings. There is an easy way and a hard way to do this: either chop your own tomatoes and place them carefully to form the bottom layer of the topping. Or just use tomato puree (果泥), which works just as well and is much easier. A good rule of thumb is to treat your pizza base rather like a baking tray – whatever cheeses you put on it will expand. Forgetting this will produce a lovely pizza with cheese all over the sides – and small, hard bits of cheese that will take ages to clean off.

Besides, there was only one problem: it‘s a little soul-destroying to learn that pizza is only a little more difficult to make than a boiled egg and significantly easier to make than bread. Pizza, it turns out, is bread‘s terrible friend that dropped out of university, penniless and asking for money. And OK, pizza is sexier and knowing how to make pizza will get you invited to a lot more parties than bread. But I think I was a little happier before I knew that every pizza I‘ve ever ordered would have been quicker, cheaper and easier to make at home.

Passage Two

Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Pennsylvania. She was named after singer James Taylor. Her father is a financial advisor. Her mother is a homemaker who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive. Swift‘s mothe r, though American, spent the first 10 years of her life in Singapore before returning to the U.S. and settling in Texas.

Swift spent the early years of her life on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. She attended preschool and kindergarten at the Alvernia Montessori School before moving to the Wyndcroft School. The family then moved to a rented house in the suburban town of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where she attended Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School. Swift summered at her parents‘ oceanfront vacation home in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, and described it as the place ―where most of my childhood memories were formed‖.

At the age of nine, Swift became interested in musical theatre and performed in four Berks Youth Theatre Academy productions. She also traveled regularly to Broadway for vocal and acting lessons. Swift later turned her attention to country music—Shania Twain‘s songs made her ―want to just run around the block four times and daydream about everything‖.She spent her weekends performing at local festivals, coffeehouses, fairs, karaoke contests, garden clubs, Boy Scout meetings and sporting events. At the age of eleven, after many failed attempts, Swift won a local talent competition and was given the opportunity to appear as the opening act for Charlie Daniels at a Strausstown theater.

After watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt sure that she needed to go to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a music career. At the age of eleven, she traveled with her mother to Nashville to submit a demo(样本唱片). She received rejections and realized that ―everyone in that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. So, I kept thinking to myself, I need to figure out a way to be diff erent‖.

When Swift was about 12 years old, a computer repairman taught Swift how to play three chords on a guitar, inspiring her to write her first song, ―Lucky You‖. She had previously won a national poetry contest with a poem titled ―Monster in My Closet‖, but now began to focus on songwriting.

15.圣瓦伦丁节的时尚 里·爱瑞克·舒密特 ? 尽管英国的许多圣徒节日在美国都被遗忘了，圣瓦伦丁节依旧是一个最受欢迎的节日。美国人是怎样喜欢上圣瓦伦丁节的?历史学家舒密特在下文中讲述了它的秘密。 19世纪40年代，圣瓦伦丁节在美国还不是一个很流行的节日。华盛顿的生日在2月，是美国革命重要的纪念日，而古老的圣瓦伦丁节无论在地位上还是在重要性上都比它逊色多了。垮越大西洋，从英国来到美国，大多数的英国圣徒节日已渐渐淡出人们的记忆，比如人们曾纪念过的那些忠实的信徒们、杰出的民间先知者、慈善家们，比如圣·阿格纳、圣·安娜、圣·菲斯、圣·西蒙以及圣·托马斯，所以人们有理由认为圣瓦伦丁节会像其他许多纪念日一样淡出人们的记忆。由于受到工业社会和新教的时间观念的严格制约，和其他许多散布于中世纪和早期现代日历中的圣徒日一样，圣瓦伦丁节似乎注定是要毯废止的。’新兴美国的年历不会像早期现代英国的年历一样列满教堂的圣徒纪念日行会仪式或王室纪念日，但却可能是独具特色的节日大拼盘，比如共和国庆典，各国移民的不同节日，福音派教会的复活节以及安息日等。和圣过自特里克日，样，圣瓦伦丁日最终被证明是个例外;但与圣·帕特里克日不同的是，创造并赴领圣瓦伦丁节在美国复兴的是商业而不是种族特点。2当然有关圣瓦伦丁日的民间信仰在早期的美国也得以长久地保存下来了，例如在历书上就经常标出这个节日，有时还附上一两首关于节日的韵律诗。一些代表性的传统意象也流传下来，1811年新泽西的柏林顿出版了一本圣瓦伦丁节的诗集，它唤起人们种种联想，如传统的乔臾式浪漫的求爱方式，美丽的春天，还有那些亲嘴的鸟儿，比如:知更鸟，黑鸟，鹤鹤，站在篱笆上的麻雀，欧掠鸟(燕八哥)，以及铿鸟等等，“它们在这节日里成群结队，在晨曦中发出腼腆的求爱宣言”。然而，在19世纪最初的几十年里，报刊几乎很少提到圣瓦伦丁节，而那些评论这个节日的作家们只把它当做几乎是独特的英国人的仪式，它只在伦敦特别流行而在美国却没有明显的吸引力和兴趣。小说家塞缪尔·伍德沃斯是美国最早的编年史作者之一，1832年曾指出:‘，2月14日英国人互送圣瓦伦丁节贺卡，通过抓阉来确定丈夫和配偶的习俗，美国人从未有过很多的尝试，而且现在也不了解。”1858年，《哈勃周刊》报道说，在1840年左右商人们首次寄出印有他们瓦伦丁节产品样品的“旅游代理”的信封，这些推销商们实际上“在大多数情况下是被迫而为，并解释说，这样做是为了使用特别的书信和记录他们所准备的特别销售季节。”19世纪4(j年代以前，这个节日在美国流行文化里无足轻重，不为人关注。 19世纪40年代和50年代，这个节日的命运发生了戏剧性的变化。“几年前，我们看到欧洲人庆祝这个节日的报道，而在这里却没有它的讯息。”《费城公共文摘》1845年评论道，“现在情况发生了变化，圣瓦伦丁节的书信，以及心形节日标志等都被引入。特别在纽约，这种半严肃、半滑稽的求爱方式，花言巧语的爱情宣言，今天都写在纸上，通过邮局来传递。成千上万封这样的信件被寄出……即使在一向严肃的费城，圣瓦伦丁节也为人们所推崇。”《费城公共文摘》在这个节日的欢欣鼓舞里看到了希望。怀着对恢复失传的民间传统和节庆的极度渴望，报纸高度赞扬这种复古的行为。“我们已经变得很通达了，所有古老的节日或圣日或纪念日几乎都从日历上被抹掉了……我们太过于算计了。”这

大学英语阅读3翻译 第一篇：Be kind to commuters Enumerate. 列举，枚举: paradoxical adj. 矛盾的；诡论的；似非而是的 adolescence 青春期 instinct 本能 frat 大学联谊会 ditto 同样的 camaraderie友情 introspection 反思introspective 内省的 defray 支付 moot 空谈 myth 虚构 leftover 吃剩的话 breakaway 分离逃脱 detached 分离的 torn 扯开 autonomy 主权 概述 人们往往可以列举出一个大学生住校的各种优点。然而，作者想揭露的是走读生其实过得并不轻松。他们的生活是矛盾的，他们本来要去独立地探索大学生活，但是他们和父母在一起就没有可能保持其独立性。 课文 你们可能认为走读生过得很轻松。我们有一个全自动洗衣机，在柜子中有全新的牙膏，还有一个塞满别人买单的食物的冰箱。除此之外，电话账单有人会付，即便在微波炉中，晚上也会有为我们准备的食物。你嘲笑，那不是大学，那是永久的青春期。 所以我们看似是被宠坏的孩子，但一切远没那么简单。走读学生过着矛盾的生活。比如你，来到大学，开始认识自己；学会认识自己是教育一个很重要的部分。但是当父母无法放弃他们作为父母本能般的监管时，维持独立是很难的。如果父母的结婚纪念日在我期末考试前，我该怎么办？事实是，做一个无法脱离家庭的人就跟一个和你不喜欢的人同居寝室一样困难。 我们的问题很复杂。从某种程度上来说，我们是这个社会的二等公民；我们很难去享受俱乐部，大学生联谊派对，舞会，因为我们要急着赶回家或者去搭末班车。同样的，你会意识到你来不及做经济法律课的预习因为已经截止了。但这还不是最严重的。每个人都需要和室友一起过夜。真正的问题是我们错过了很多活动：一种由晚上抱佛脚复习产业心理学，闲谈谁和谁一起睡觉，谈论明星，分享心里话，畅谈毕业来的比想象得要快而产生的友谊。诚然，我们可以时不时地加入这些活动，但是我们跟不上这种上大学学术生活的日夜节奏。我们这类人永远无法真正如我们室友们那样享受大学生活。 然后是时间安排的问题。走读生比住读生更需要好好安排自己的生活。很多人走读是为了节省费用，我们中有很多人花了许多时间去工作来赚学费。当然，处理我们这种错综复杂的时间安排教会我们效率，知识上课写笔记所没有的。除了走读生还有谁能完美地在一辆飞驰过黑暗隧道的公交车上绘制出离散概率分布图，况且还有一些邋遢鬼笨重地移动着你的课本？还要和工作回来的父母，快要迟到的弟弟，还有喜欢漂洗丝袜的妹妹共用一个浴室，以至于练就一个3分钟洗澡的冲刺，熟练程度超越所有在课堂里学
