I) invasion J) hardship K) realization L) separation
M) enjoyment N) impressive O) permanent
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with seven 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.
A)What is love? Some people think it’s lifelong devotion. Others think it’s temporary madness. No matter what, not that people think that love is not important. They are starved for it; they watch endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories; they listen to hundreds of songs about love ?yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love.
B)This particular attitude is based on several premises(前提) which either singly or collectively tend to give rise to it. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of eing loved? rather than that of oving? of one capacity to love. In order to be loved, to be lovable, men try to get as rich, successful and powerful as their social positions permit; women are busily involved in making themselves attractive by working on their bodies, dresses, etc. Both men and women also develop pleasant manners, interesting conversation, to be helpful, modest and inoffensive(不冒犯人的).
C) A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an bject? not the problem of a apacity? People think that to ove?is simple, but that to find the right object to love ?or to be loved by ?is difficult. There are several reasons behind it. One reason is the changed view of a ove object? Love no longer develops only after marriage is concluded as in traditional cultures. Romantic love, the personal experience of love, has become universal in modern culture. Freedom in love has greatly lifted the importance of the bject?
D)Closely related to this reason is another characteristic of modern culture. Our culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually(双方) favorable exchange. Modern man happiness lies in the excitement of looking at the shop windows, and in buying all that he can afford. He (or she) looks at people in a similar way. ttractive?is what men and women are after. It’s a package of qualities which are popular and wanted on the personality market. Two people fall in love when they have found the best object on the market.
E)The third error leading to the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion(混淆) between the initial experience of alling?in love, and the permanent state of eing?in love. If two people who have been strangers suddenly let the wall between them break down, they feel close, feel one; this moment of oneness is one of the most exciting and wonderful experiences in life. However, this type of love is by its very nature not lasting. When the two persons become well acquainted(熟悉的), their intimacy is losing its magic until their mutual boredom(厌烦) kills whatever is left of the initial excitement.
F)This attitude ?that nothing is easier than to love ?has continued to be spreading in our society. If any other activity, which is started with such huge hopes and expectations, and yet, fails so regularly, as love, people would be eager to know the reasons for the failure, to learn how to do better, or they would give up the activity. Since the latter is impossible in the case of love, there seems to be only one way to overcome the failure of love ?to examine the reasons for this failure, and to proceed to study the meaning of love.
G)To learn about love is to learn about an art. That involves the mastery of the theory and the mastery of the practice. If I want to learn the art of medicine, I must first know the facts about the human body and various diseases. When I have all this theoretical knowledge, I am by no means competent in the art of medicine. Only after I have a great deal of practice, when my theoretical knowledge and my practice are blended into one ?my intuition, shall I become a master. Besides, there is a third factor necessary to becoming a master in any art ?the mastery of the art must be a matter of ultimate concern. This holds true for music, for medicine, for sports ?and for love.
______11.It’s impossible for people to give up love and thus it’s necessary to find ways to overcome the failure of love.
______12.People think love is important, but few people become aware that love is something that needs to be learned.
______13.To master the art of love, people should learn what makes love and practice it until the two are blended into one ?the intuition.
______14.There is little reason to be surprised that human love relations follow the same pattern of exchange which governs the commodity(商品) and the labor market.
______15.Two people being crazy about each other in the beginning proves both the intensity of their love and the degree of their preceding loneliness.
______16.Many of the ways men and women use to make themselves lovable are the ways used to make themselves successful, to win friends and influence people.
______17.In many traditional cultures, love was mostly not a spontaneous(自发的) personal experience which then might lead to marriage, but was supposed to develop once the marriage had been concluded.
Section C
Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
The Internet is changing the way society communicates, processes information and knowledge. Some of these developments are exciting and challenging, but in one particular sense the Internet creates a fundamental challenge to the way humans interact.
Today, Internet dating has become more or less accepted as a way of forming relationships. There has been some criticism, but it has usually been of the functional and operational(操作上的) kind, regarding membership costs or users providing false pictures or information. There has been little thought or comment on why matchmaking websites by itself might be a bad thing.
Online matchmaking is conditioned on the idea of making rational choices. Internet dating is like shopping at LoveMart. We watch and read the adverts (people profiles) and we then, make a rational decision to try the product. The more choices we have, we are told, the better for making the choice.
Furthermore, the way dating websites calculate(计算) matches distorts(扭曲) the very core of interpersonal relations. Online seekers of partners and friends rely on computer calculations of a set of hard questions. The questions that many of these websites use are so terrible (are you happy with your life? A. Yes, B. No, C. Most of the time? that they cannot reflect real conversations. THIS is not human interaction; it is a fundamental shift. Interpersonal relationships are being shifted into products that can be (supposedly) objectively measured and objectively chosen, even though such relations represent the exact opposite.
In his book, Alain Badiou noted love ?this great irrational driver of humanity ?has become an object, which people wish to be fully informed about, choose rationally, and not suffer any unexpected disappointments from. It is, as philosopher Slavoj Zizek has noted, like caffeine-free coffee.
Some critics have suggested that online dating is taking society back to a pre-modern version of arranged marriages. I would say it is worse. It has taken over the very essence(实质)of what it means to be human.
18.What’s known about online dating?
A) It has become the most popular way of forming relationships.
B) It costs no money to become a member online.
C) It provides false pictures and information for users.
D) It is rarely criticized for its own sake(自身缘故).
19.What’s the reason for online dating being introduced?
A) To help users make rational choices.
B) To provide users with many choices.
C) To ask users to do shopping online.
D) To help users to try the product before buying.
20.How does online dating influence human interactions?
A) It measures human interactions objectively.
B) It makes human interactions objective.
C) It can’n reflect the real human interactions.
D) It can correct human interactions.
21.What is 搇ove?according to Alain Badiou?
A) Love is reasonable.B) Love is irrational.
C) Love is disappointing.D) Love is surprising.
22.What’s the writer attitude towards online dating?
A) Disapproving.B) Encouraging.C) Faithful. D) Extreme.
Passage Two
Romance in China is often sacrificed to practicality; dating has largely become a commercial transaction. In Beijing parents gather in parks to introduce their children to one another. Singles?clubs set people up according to requirements ?height, income, property. And tens of thousands participate in matchmaking events in cities like Shanghai looking for the perfect mate. arriage in many ways in China is a way of pulling resources,?says Roseann Lake, a Beijing-based journalist researching a book on heng nv? In one direction, at least, he idea that a woman, no matter how successful she is professionally, is absolutely nothing until she is married ?it still comes down to that.?Yes, China has experienced miraculous growth in the past three decades, but traditions are hard to shake. Confucian ethics stress that marriage must satisfy societal duty over individual desire.
The one-child policy has further reinforced these expectations. In China, the young are expected to provide for the old: whom you marry matters for your entire family.
These concerns aren’t evenly shared, and they expose something of a generation gap. Children of the 1980s and 1990s ?who were born in better economic times and fed on pop music and movies ?are in less of a hurry to get married than their parents were.
Although China changed birth rate means there will be a surplus(过剩) of about 24 million men in China by 2020, the majority of these singles will live in rural areas. In major cities ?where the rate of housing costs to income can reach 12:1 ?finding a good match is a constant worry for educated, ambitious women.
When Chinese Valentine Day nears, preparations for dozens of matchmaking events, most aimed at marriage, are picking up. At the Huanleyuan Culture Club, a singles?club in Beijing ?basic requirement: a college degree; annual membership fee: about $560 ?hundreds will be attending a gala matchmaking event. Ten thousand people are expected at a mass blind date in many cities. They l be looking not just for an attractive smile or that spark of chemistry, but also for the promise of money and connections.
23.Which of the following best describes Chinese marriage?
A) It is practiced with romance.
B) It is based on practical aspects.
C) It depends on Chinese economy.
D) It is associated with parents?introduction.
24.What’s the influence of the one-child policy?
A) It puts societal duty before individual desire.
B) It drives people to find partners of good resources.
C) It makes the young generation develop a sense of responsibility.
D) It helps improve the welfare system in China.
25.What’s known about children of the 1980s and 1990s?
A) They are less anxious about marriage.
B) They are from economically good families.
C) They learn a lot about pop music and movies.
D) They follow the tradition of their parents?marriage.
26.What can be drawn from the passage?
A) More rural women will be singles in the near future.
B) More urban women will be singles in the near future.
C) More urban men will be singles in the near future.
D) More rural men will be singles in the near future.
27.What’s the writer attitude towards Chinese marriage?
A) Critical.B) Positive.C) Neutral.D) Negative.

Section A
Directions: In this section, you will hear two news reports. At the end of each news report, you will hear two questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
In Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many reasons explain that low rate. One important one is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed. For the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and environment they need to develop. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with classwork and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time. An important reason for the group success is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students at fifth or sixth grade aging 11 or 12. Research shows that if students are doing well in eighth grade, they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college.
1. What is the news mainly about?
2. What does Higher Achievement NOT provide for the students?
Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.
Some machines can take something written in one language and give users the same or similar wording in another language. These machines are designed to do this kind of work quickly and without mistakes. The quality of translation software programs has greatly improved in recent years. This has led many people to start using machine translators. One of the most widely used translation devices is Google Translate. Google says the service completes billions of translation requests, involving 103 languages, each year. Google had earlier used a system that translated on phrase-by-phrase level. This system created speech that could usually be understood, but didn抰
sound natural. Recently, Google announced a new system known as neural machine translation, taking entire sentences and modeling sentence outputs(输出). It produces translations that sound more like real human language.
3. What is the news mainly concerned with?

Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Passage One
As Anna looked out the window of her old beach house on the edge of the emerald sea, she
began to remember all the beautiful memories. One memory in particular seemed to come to mind. It was about 70 years ago when Anna was 16 years old and that was her first summer together with Peter.
Early that morning, Anna awoke to the sound of a tapping on her window and surprisingly found Peter was standing there with a picnic basket. Peter told Anna that it was his last day at the beach and he wanted to spend the entire day with her. It was a beautiful day. They enjoyed the enchanting(迷人的) sunrise and a romantic breakfast. They swam in the crystal clear water. They talked hours, not knowing where all the time had gone.
It was already starting to get dark when all of sudden it began to pour. Most people would have thought that the rain would spoil their perfect day, but Anna still remembered the strike of excitement as the drops poured down. They began to dance right there on the sand, in the pouring rain. Anna could still remember what Peter said when they danced. love you Anna and I want to be with you and only you for the rest of my life.?At that very moment, Anna knew that she felt exactly the same and that they would be together for the rest of their lives.
Anna spent the past nine months since Peter had passed away recalling that special day they had together. She would continue to do so until the day she could be with her one true love, Peter again.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
13.What do we learn from the passage?
14.How did they feel about the rain on that day?
15.What is said of Peter?
Passage Two
Suppose you have everything: a good job, good health, good reputation, good relationships and lots of money to spend. But still there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The LOVE. It is not something which you should ignore. Life without love is just like body without soul.
Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning forever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love is for life and life is for love.
It is easy to fall in love but difficult to keep the flames of love burning. Before indulging in serious long-term love relationships, be sure that the person you love is also sincere with you. A selfish person can make your life miserable.
Most people do not give importance to their love life as they give importance to their professional life. In most cases, people sacrifice their love life for their profession. This is a bad choice which ruins the whole life. A sensible balance between the two is necessary in order to enjoy life in its entirety.
In order to make the journey of life more exciting and enjoyable, you need a loving and caring person with whom you can share your values, dreams, fantasies(幻想), joys and jokes. In difficult times of anxiety, sorrow, or distress, this person should stand firm beside you and comfort you in every possible manner.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16.Which of the following do most people ignore?
17.Which best describes most people attitude towards love and work?
18.What does the speaker suggest we do to have an enjoyable life?

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team .

Key to Exercises Opener Going on a working holiday has many advantages: ? A working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. ? The travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. ? You can try different types of jobs, even the ones that you normally wouldn’t do when at home. And in this sense, a working holiday could be a life-changing experience. ? You are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals, not just other tourists. They can introduce you to a new culture. ? A working holiday makes a good break. A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is the break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world. Transcript: A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up. You are able to pick up a job or two (or 6) and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country. In general, a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. In Australia, for example, the typical tourist visa is for 3 months while a working holiday visa is for 12 months. With a working holiday visa, you can work as you go, meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad. Your method of travel may vary. Some prefer to travel up-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two different locations. Others prefer to work for a month, travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way, the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. With a working holiday visa, you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of
Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。
