Part three Reading comprehension

Passage one

Opportunities for rewarding work become fewer for both men and women as they grow older. After age 40, job hunting becomes even more difficult. Many workers stay at jobs they are too old for rather than face possible rejection. Our youth-oriented, throw-away culture sees little value in older people. In writer Lilian Hellman’s words, they have “the wisdom that come with age that we can’t make use of.”

Unemployment and economic need for work is higher among older women, especially minorities, than among younger white women. A national council reports these findings: Though unemployed longer when seeking work, older women job-hunt harder, hold a job longer with less absenteeism(缺勤), perform as well, or better, are more reliable, and are more willing to learn than men or younger women. Yet many older women earn poor pay and face a future of poverty in their retirement years. When “sexism meets ageism, poverty is no longer on the door step ----It moves in”according to Tish Sommers, director of a special study on older women for the National Organization for Women.

Yet a 1981 report on the White House Conference on Aging shows that as a group, older Americans are the “wealthier, best fed, best housed, healthiest, most self-reliant older population in our history.” This statement is small comfort to those living below the poverty line but it does explore some of the old traditional belief and fears. Opportunities for moving in and up in a large company may shrink but many older people begin successful small business, volunteer in satisfying activities, and stay active for many years. They have few role models because in previous generations the life span was much shorter and expectations of life were fewer. They are plowing new ground.

Employers are beginning to recognize that the mature person can bring a great deal of stability and responsibility to position. One doesn’t lose ability and experience on the eve of one’s 65th of 70th birthday any more than one grows up instantly at age 21.

1.After the age of 41, _____.

A.most workers are tired of their present jobs

B.many workers tend to stick to their present jobs

C.people find their jobs more rewarding than before

D.people still to hunt for more suitable jobs

2.From Heilman’ remark, we can see that ____.

A.full use has been made of the wisdom of older people

B.the wisdom of the old people is not valued by American society

C.old people are no less intelligent than young people

D.the wisdom of older people is of great value to American society

3.Tish Sommers argues that ______.

A.older women find it hard to escape poverty

B.older women usually perform better in their jobs

C.the major cause of poverty of older women is sexism

D.more people have come to believe in sexism and ageism

4.According to the third paragraph, it can be seen that older Americans ____

A.have more job opportunities than young people

B.live below poverty line

C.have new opportunity to remain active in society

D.no longer believe in the promise of a happy life up

Passage two

A few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. One’s physical assets and liabilities don’t count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best.

Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so- beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do mater, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.

Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mounting pieties(虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group----college students, perhaps., or teachers or corporate personnel managers----a piece of paper relating an individual’s accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly exactly the attractive person, some an average –looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted.

Almost invariably, the better liking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.

In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire(追求) to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.

1.According to the passage, people often wrongly believe that in pursuing a career as

manager____.

A. a person’s property or debts do not matter much

B. a person’s outward appearance is not a critical qualification

C.women should always dress fashionably

D.women should not only be attractive but also high-minded

2.The result of research carried out by social scientists show that _____.

A.people do not realized the importance of looking one’s best

B.women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid well

C.good-looking women aspire to managerial positions

D.attractive people generally have an advantage over those who are not

3.Experiments by scientists have shown that when people evaluate individuals on certain

attributes____.

A.they observe the principle that beauty is only skin-deep

B.they do not usually act according to views they support

C.they give ordinary-looking persons the lowest ratings

D.they tend to base their judgment on the individual’s achievements

4.“Good looks cut both ways for women”(Line 1, Para 5) means that _____.

A.attractive women have tremendous potential impact on public jobs

B.good-looking women always get the best of everything

C.being attractive is not always an advantage for women

D.attractive women do not do as well as unattractive women in managerial positions

5.It can be inferred from the passage that in the business world_____.

A.handsome men are not affected an much by their looks as attractive women are

B.physically attractive women who are in the public eye usually do quite well

C.physically attractive men and women who are in the public eye usually get along quite

well

D.gook-looks are important for women as they are for men

passage three

It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do with out . We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear energy group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive source of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to t environment but also to civil liberties.

Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in American, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, enviromentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programs are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.

1.The writer’s attitude toward nuclear energy is ____.

A. indifferent

B. favorable

C. tolerant

D. negative

2.According to the opponents of nuclear energy, which of the following is true of nuclear

energy?

A. Primitive

B. Exhaustible

C. Cheap

D. Unsafe

3.Some people claim that nuclear energy is essential because ____.

A.it provides a perfect solution to mass unemployment

B.it represents an enormous step forward in our scientific evolution

C.it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society

D.nuclear power stations can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and

administrative staff

4.Which of the following statements does the writer support?

A.The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.

B.Nuclear energy is something we cannot do without

C.Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons

D.Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy programs

5.The function of the last sentence is to ____.

A.advance the final argument

B.reflect the writer’s attitude

C.reverse previously expressed thoughts

D.show disadvantages of nuclear power

Passage four

Lyndon Johnson once said of a political opponent, “He can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.” Most of us can manage to walk and chew gum, but it doesn’t take much introspection to realize that there is a very distinct limit to the number of different items or tasks you can remember or perform at the same time. About seven “things” is the most that most adults can work with at any one time (Miller, 1956). But what about children? Do they have a smaller capacity (a less “powerful” computer, to use that analogy one more time)?

Maybe. When children and adults are given simple memory tasks, like repeating string of numbers backward, the typical finding is that very young children can remember fewer than can adults (Dempster, 1981). That may mean that 2-year-olds can only handle “bits “ of information at a time, while adults can handle seven.

Given what we know about the growth of the brain during the first years after birth, some systematic growth in physiological capacity seems plausible. But it could also simply mean that children have had much less experience with numbers, so they don’t have any “tricks”to help them remember. We are back, then, to the same problem that plagued us with IQ tests: We cannot measure capacity. All I can say at the moment is that it is reasonable to assume that there are some changes with age in the processing capacity of the infant and child but researchers haven’t been able to figure out a way to demonstrate it unequivocally.

1.Lyndon Johnson’s comment on his political opponent means that ____.

A.his opponent likes gum too much

B.his opponent should do two things at the same time

C.his opponent is an utterly incapable person

D.his opponent should not neglect his appearance

2.From its context, the word “analogy” in the last sentence of the first paragraph means_____.

A. comparison

B. contrast

C. measurement

D. standard

3.From the 2nd paragraph , we can see that the writer is not quite sure _____.

A.whether children can remember as much as adults

B.whether we can measure a person’s capacity

C.what prevents children from remembering as much as adults

D.how many things an adult can do at the same time

4.Talking about IQ tests, the writer seems to be of the opinion that____.

A.performance cannot be regarded as an indication of one’s intelligence

B.by using IQ tests, one can predict quite accurately a child’s future

C.IQ tests should be abandoned all together

D.IQ tests cannot tell accurately what a child can do in the future

5. At the end of the passage, the word “unequivocally” means____.

A. definitely

B. incredibly

C. vaguely

D. unintelligently Part four Writing

大学英语精读课改革模式

大学英语精读课改革模式 关键词:教学模式;二语习得;阅读技巧;交际能力 长期以来,外语一直把精读课作为基础教学阶段的一门主课。笔者认为,有必要尝试一下改变精读课的传统做法。下面透过目前精读课存在的主要问题,提出几点改进建议。 一、主要问题 目前,基础教学阶段的精读课,名为精读,实为融听、说、读、写、译为一体的语言综合入门课。这在语言素材信手拈来的今天,对于入学时已掌握1600个单词、已具有基本语法知识,而听、说、读、写、译却又发展极不平衡的学生来说,这种传统精读课的教学模式已不再完全适用。其弊端在于:(1)语言素材不足。精读课基本是围绕有限的几篇文章进行解释和训练,不利于语言的自然习得,无法增强学生的语感。(2)忽视对阅读技能的训练。精读课注重对课文中语言现象的分析、讲解和操练,而对一系列阅读技能却没有必要的指导和训练。(3)无法兼顾学生入学时听、说、读、写、译的能力发展不平衡的状况。学生入学时的阅读能力远比其他能力强,但为了照顾其他能力的培养,只能选用语言较简单、内容较肤浅的素材。教材不能满足学生提高阅读水平的需求,限制了学生阅读能力的发展,抑制了学生的求知欲,影响了他们的知识面扩展。(4)忽略书面语和口语的差异。精读课十分重视围绕课文所进行的口语表达的准确性。为表达准确,学生往往要使用课文的语言,其结果是将书面语与口头语混为一体,忽视了语言的得体性。(5)忽略学生能力的发展。在精读课上,教师精讲,学生操炼。教学常常以掌握课文为目的,不重视对学生学习方法的指导,不重视学生独立思考、综合、分析能力的培养和发展。 二、建议 1.课程设置 目前新生入学时已掌握1600个单词并掌握了一定的语法知识,鉴于学生 的听、说、读、写、译能力发展不平衡,建议开设阅读、听力、口语、语法、写作等课程。这些课程分别将各门课程的技能训练作为教学的主要内容,并兼顾其他课程的技能训练,以促进和保证学生听、说、读、写、译五项技能的全面发展。 2.关于阅读课 阅读课旨在提高学生对书面语言的处理和表达能力。为此,一方面要不断扩大学生的词汇量和巩固语法知识;另一方面则要指导学生运用自己已有的阅读母语的技能,进行阅读技能的训练。因此,阅读课应注意以下原则:(1)提供数量为精读教材三倍的语言素材,以创造语言习得的条件。(2)教材的题材和体裁力

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

大学英语精读课的教学心得

大学英语精读课的教学心得 本学期本人任教一年级大学英语课程,工作中自觉遵守教学规律,贯彻党的教育方针,以身作则,教书育人。关注本学科及相关的学术发展动态,刻苦钻研,努力提高自身业务水平,坚持学习,与同事进行交流合作,积极参加科组教研活动,例如到深圳职业技术学院参观学习,学院第二英语角活动,主动提出意见建议,促进教学教改。关心学院发展与建设,服从工作安排,遵守各规章纪律,保持全勤,参与学院的集体活动。以下是本人的几点教学心得: 我们的学生在中学阶段已经掌握了较系统的语法知识,故目前在教学中重点是提高学生的阅读理解能力,进而培养学生的书面表达能力。据学生反映,他们的难题主要是单词和课文内容。相应的教学方法是: 一、单独讲解单词。如果只是简单地解释词性、意思、词组,然后做翻译练习,不免显得枯燥,而且学生很难整节课都集中注意力,因而达不到良好教学效果。本人采用的方法是尽量地把本课单词有机地串联起来,帮助学生形成一种记忆链条,并且给他们定一个目标:Try to put everything in mind instead of on the notebook!例如,在这个单元中,主要探讨科学的发展及其对我们生活的影响。上课的时候,首先从手机(mobile phone)展开话题,由其体积大小、价格的变化,引出技术发展两个新词:technology,develop,(development),继而是技术发展的动力之一“竞争”(competition),而当今的竞争是激烈的(severe)、“全球性的”(global),创造力(inventiveness)、自创精神(initiative)尤为重要,接下来讨论科技发展(technology development)对我们日常生活的影响或关联(relevance)。到此,让学生尝试用几句话把这些词串连起来:Technology develops at a rapid rate nowadays. Anyway, the rapid development has been brought about by the force of competition, which is severe and global, and needs initiative. Does the development have any relevance to our daily life? Sure. Ten years ago, it was impossible for a student to have a mobile phone. 在讲解完一组相关的词后,让学生做课本的选词填空练习,巩固对单词词义的理解和掌握正确用法。其次,以游戏的方式练习词汇。由一或两名学生背对黑板,教师写上词或词组,全班同学给提示直到他们猜出词语。这样既活跃课堂又使学生有机会练习口头表达能力,也可锻炼当众表演的胆量。例如,dream一词,提示有:something in your mind when you sleep, sometimes it is true, sometimes it is imagination, people may appear, animal may also come into sight, you might be happy, might be frightened, even in horror……大量旧词汇得到复习。 二、课文讲解。由于课是两节或三节连堂,如果按照传统的语言点、加语法、再加句子分析翻译,学生很难完全接受。较可行的方法是分成三部分。第一,先完成整篇的理解性问题,课本的“content question”,让学生了解课文大概。第二,语言点、语法结构讲解,分段落完成。学生们逐段阅读,留一定时间给他们提问,然后就学生忽视的内容个别提问、再总结,形成教与学的互动,促使学生思考。第三,完成第一、第二阶段的教学后,再分析整篇文章的结构,每部分的main ideas,总结全文观点。让学生练习表达能力。同时回顾一些重要的细节或段落、句子,构成完整的篇章学习。部份故事性趣味性强的文章,采用分组表演,促进学生团对合作。很受欢迎。 三、课后练习:时间充裕的话,可让学生在课堂完成,再评讲,或者布置为家庭作业,课堂评讲。这也可作为语法、语言点的练习与复习。尽量运用本单元新学的知识,再与先前所掌握的作比较。 四、随堂测验。每讲完一小单元,如单词、语法或语言点之后,用十分钟左右进行随堂测验,可用口头或书面形式。可深化学生的记忆,达到良好的教学效果。 五、作业批改。学生首先关注的是分数,往往忽视错误部分,故批改时只圈出错的地方,学生自己改正后再上交,然后针对个别辅导。真正巩固知识。 以上是本人的教学心得。在今后的工作中,本人将继续努力,不断提高教学水平,高质量完成教学任务。
