大学英语精读4 书后cloze吐血整理

When dad told us about the delivery work it sounded easy, just a piece of cake. The trouble was, we didn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved. Before long trucks seemed to be pulling up outside our house all day long, leaving stacks of advertising. It seemed we should have no chance of meeting the deadline. The we had this marvelous idea. Hiring local kids to help would enable us to get the job done on time. True, it would cut into our profits, but there was no alternative. things seemed to be going well, but then we had trouble over a pay claim. Our workers demanded five dollars an hour, but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less. As for us, when we finally settled our accounts we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for our efforts. I guess we should have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy. While it is often said that love makes the world go round, scientists take a less romantic view. To their minds, energy is the fundamental force at work. All animal life is dependent on obtaining sufficient energy from food. Deer, like other wild animals, do this through eating as much food as possible in the summer, when food resources are abundant. Any excess of energy over their current needs is deposited in the body in the form of fat. Then, when food becomes scarce in the winter, they can live off the fat. In addition, nature helps them to survive the winter by slowing down their metabolism, assisting them to pull through the cold weather. However, when the winter is particularly harsh, deer may have to draw on the fat they have built up more heavily. Under such conditions, only deer in good condition are able to survive to give birth to a new generation. In his essay George Orwell starts off by citing Bernard Shaw’s remark that people are more superstitious today than they were in the Middle Ages. They promptly accept the opinions of experts without asking any questions themselves. Obviously Shaw exaggerates just in order to prove his point that we should not always fall back on the theories of well-known authorities. Rather, we should aim at finding out some things for ourselves. By way of illustration, Orwell outlines arguments against the Flat Earth and the Oval Earth theories, thus throwing light on the fact that much of our knowledge actually rests on authority rather than on reasoning or on experiment. Finally, Orwell draws his conclusion that ours is a credulous age partly because we have such an exceptionally heavy burden of knowledge. The last time Lyz saw her husband was as he waved goodbye to her from the steps of their house. He was due to fly off on business later that day. Unluckily for him his flight was cancelled and he found himself having to take United Flight 93 the following day. It was from on board that ill-fated flight that he telephoned with the news that hijackers had threatened to blow up the aircraft. Cursing his bad luck, he nonetheless realized that his fate was in his own hands. Hoping that the terrorists were bluffing when they claimed to have a bomb, he and some other passengers decided to act. Without hanging up, he set off with the others to attack the hijackers. From the telephone came the sound of screams. Then silence.

Unit 1 When Dad told us about the delivery work it sound easy,just a piece of cake.The trouble was,we di dn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved.Before long trucks seemed to be pul ling up outside our house all day long,leaving stacks of advertsing.It seemed we would have no ch ance of meeting the deadline.Then we had this mavelous idea.Hiring local kids to help would enab le us to get the job done on time.True,it would cut into our profits,but there was no alternative.Thi ngs seemed to be going well ,but then we had trouble over a pay claim .Our workers demanded fiv e dollars an hour,but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less.As for us,when we finally settle our account we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for all our efforts.I guess we s hould have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy. Unit 2 While it is often said that love makes the world go round,scientists take a less romantic view.To t hier minds,energy is the fundamental force at work.All animal life is demending on obtaining suffi cuent energy from food.Deer,like other wild animals,do htis through eating as much food as possib le in the summer,when food reserve are abandant.Any excess of energy over thier current needs is despoited in the body in the form of fat.Then when food become scarce in the winter,they can live off the fat.In addition,nature help them to survive the winter by slowing down thier metabolism,as sisting them to pull through the cold weather.However,when the winter is particularly harsh,deer may have to draw on the fat they have bulit up more heavily.Under such conditions,only deer in g ood condition are able to survive to give brith to a new generation Unit 3 In his essay George Orwell starts off by citing Bernard Shaw’s remark that people are more supers titious today than they were in the Middle Ages.They promptly accept the opinions of experts with out asking any questions themselves.Obviously Shaw exaggerates just in order to prove his point t hat we should not always fall back on the theories of well-known authorities.Rather,we should aim at finding out some things for ourselves.By way of illustration,Orwell outline arguments against t he Flat Earth and the Oval Earth theories,thus throwing light on the fact that much of our knowled ege actually rests on authority rather than on reasoning or on experiment.Finally,Orwell draws his conclusion that ours is acredulous age partly because we have such an exceptionally heavy burden of knowledge.
