Reading ComprehensionPassage OneThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words) 31. Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.( B)A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. If we complete the short-term goalsC. If we have dreams of the futureD. If we put forward some plans32. New short-term goals are built upon ____________. (D)A. a daily basisB. your achievement in a weekC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed33. When we complete each step of our goals, ____________. (C)A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we should build up confidence of successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals34. What is the main idea of this passage? ____________ (C)A Life is a dynamic thing. B. we should set up long-term goalsC. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.35. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ____________ (C)A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goalsB. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.Passage two 英法既爱又恨的关系Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念)of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac spea king out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug(拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. Howev er, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys(调查)show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years o f ―doubtful friendship‖, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.36. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________. (D)A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate37. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain. (D)A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm38. The British are not so friendly to __( A)______ and the French are not so friendly to _ ( A)_____.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America39. ____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________. (D)A. American people…BritainB. British people … GermanyC. French people … BritainD. British people … France40. What does the last sentence mean? (C)A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.Passage 3 社区服务是我们大学中一个重要的组成部分Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors —he’ll be available to h elp you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week. (220 words)41. What is the purpose of the talk? ____________( B)A. To explain a new requirement for graduation.B. To interest students in a new community program.C. To discuss the problems of elementary school students.D. To recruit elementary school teachers for a special program.42. What is the purpose of the program that the speaker describes? ________(C)A. To find jobs for graduating students.B. To help education majors prepare for final exams.C. To offer tutorials to elementary school students.D. To provide funding for a community service project.43. What does Professor Dodge do? ____________( A)A. He advises students to participate in certain program.B. He teaches part-time in an elementary school.C. He observes elementary school students in the classroom.D. He helps students prepare their resumes.44. What should students who are interested in the tutorials do? ____________ (D)A. Contact the elementary school.B. Sign up for a special class.C. Submit a resume to the dean.D. Talk to Professor Dodge.45. Whom do you think the speaker addresses? ____________ ( B)A. Faculty.B. Students.C. ResidentsD. Graduated students.Passage FourMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering an d doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (292 words)46. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ( B)A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.47. With the same money needed for (C) , one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden48. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______ has been rewarded. ( B)A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the gardenC. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering49. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London. ( A)A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life50.

Some of it is subtle and unspoken, but nearly everyone is commpeting 61 for budgets, opportunities, customers. And then there's competition for promotions62 , time with important colleagues, fame, recognition, bigger 63 salaries, and, of course, power. But the very fact that64 some people do plot and scheme at work illustrates65 one of the truths of politicking (职场政治活动)– that it delivers results 66 .Here's another home truth – politicking happens whether 67 you like it or not. Sadly there are limited opportunities 68 in the world of work and, more often 69 than not, if you think you can succeed 70 without getting political, you need to wake up.VI.Cloze (统考新题型) 71.D 72.A 73.B 74.E 75.CMany people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, on 71 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 72 of stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us under 73 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 74 on more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to accept 75 our limitations.

第2次作业一、阅读理解(本大题共100分,共5小题,每小题20分) 1.Prehistoric men and women enjoyed a more varied diet than people do now, since they ate species of plant and several hundreds thousands types of living things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever domesticated. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The food of the rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is speedily distributed in supermarkets. But the choice annually becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves become more standardized. We live in theworld of carrot specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of weighting tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis asks: "Only the three major cereals (谷物类食物)and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species stand between famine and survival for the world" s human population and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: Are we missing something?” After all, there are 800 000 species of plant on earth.(1). Tn prehistoric times people.A.ate much more than we do todayB.lived mainly on plant foodC.had a wide-ranging dietD.were more fussy about what they ate(2).Most of us have come to expectA.no variation in our dietB. a reduction in food suppliesC. a specialist dietD.food conforming to a set standard(3). The specialization of food was started byA .B . the emergence of supermarkets the rise of agriculture the rich countries the modern shops (4).According to the passage, people in the West today survive on.A.carrots and tomatoesB.several thousand types of plants and cerealsc.a very small number of cultivated foodsD. special species planted one thousand years ago(5). The conclusion seems to be that we.A.could make use of more natural speciesB.don't cultivate the right kind of foodc.produce more food than we needD.cultivate too many different species2.human body is distributed (分布)in two different ways. Some fat people have a large chest and no waistline(腰身),looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking more like pears.Doctors in Cambridge, England have been examining the relationship between health and fat (脂肪)distribution. They find that the pear- shaped fat people have fewer problems than the apple-shaped fat people. What seems to be most important is not how much fat you have but where you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped women and peai,--shaped women with X-ray scanners (X 光扫描器).Human beingshave two types of fat:one is outside fat, that is the fat below the skin, and the other is inside fat that lies inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the “apples” have a large amoun t of inside fat.Tf this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it wi11 probably cause heal th problems such as obesi ty (月巴月半症). The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment (饮食疗法)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.(1).According to the relation between heal th and fatnessA.apple-shaped fat people have fewer problems than pear-shaped peopleB.it' s better to be apple-shaped than to be pear-shapedc.it' s better to be pear-shaped than to be apple-shapedD. fatness is the most dangerous enemy to health(2). The most important thing about fat people seems to beA.the amount of fat they haveB.the knowledge of which typo of the fat people they belong toC.the amount of the outside fat they haveD.the place where they have the fat(3).The basic reason why some people suffer from obesity is that •A.they take very little exercise every dayB.they have much more inside fat than is neededc.they are examined by X-ray scanners quite oftenD.they eat too much(4).According to what is mentioned in the passage, the best treatment for obesity at present is .A.to reduce the amount of food and drinksB.to make the body shape smallerC.already known to those people in troubleD.still to be found.3.University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food."Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and thendon't real ize that waste of edible (可食用的)foods adds up much moreat homo," said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who metin Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a costof $4. 5 billion per year. That" s almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.Ilis theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if you" re trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, that's bound to be some waste.Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper income families. And the study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart, is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items arc more likely to be wasted.The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least. Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.(1).Large quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker.A.thinks they are not deliciousB.says they taste bitter and hotC.thinks they smell badD.suspects they are spoiled when they are not(2).American families throw out between of edible food every year.A.5%〜8%B.8%-10%B.20%〜28%D.8%—20%(3).When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar.A.went downB.went upc.stayed the sameD. was cut in half(4).Which of the following statements is true?A.American housewives are not good homemakers.B.Upper-income families are more wasteful than lower-income ones.c.American families throw away almost as much food as they consume.D.Americans waste a great deal of dog food.(5).When do American families waste more food?A.When prices arc high.B.When food is scarce.c.When they think it is spoiled.D. Al 1 of the above.4.Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor (接任者)to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvards Radcliffe Institutefor Advanced Study, as the university' s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard. ” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. "Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated (献身的)teacher, and a wonderful human being."Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers' comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women" s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性另ij问题).Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, 1aw, literature and economics.Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.“Teaching staff turned to her constantly. ” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. "She' s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she' s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she' s so solid."(1).Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?A.She is the 28th president of Harvard University.B.She is a famous scholar from the American South.c.She isn' t a graduate from Harvard University.D.She was head of Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.(2).Lawrence Summers held the view that .A.women cannot achieve as much as men in management B.women cannot hold important positions in society c.women can match men in science jobsD.few women make top scientists owing to genes (3).Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Harvard named its 1st female president.B.History of Harvard University changed.c.Debates on female equality ended.D.Drew GiIpin Faust, a famous woman historian.(4).This passage probably appears in a .A.biographyB.personal letterc.research paperD.newspaper report5.Jessica Alba rebelled(叛离)from her "strict" parents when she was just five.

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and answer the questions. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage IQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Investigators were testing the effects of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibition of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electronic system under the carpet. The experiment discovered that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than the people in the white environment, Dark brown stimulated more activity but the activity ended sooner. Another experiment presented three groups of subjects with the same photographs, but each group was in a different kind of room --- an “ugly” room like a messy storeroom, an average room, such as a nice office, a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the photographs than did those in the ugly room,. Other studies suggested that students do better on tests taken in comfortable, attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.31 What can be concluded from the two experiments?A. Beautiful decorations and a white color will cause people to react slowly toobjects in the room.B.Environment will have effects on people’s movements.C. Students should take an exam in a comfortable room painted dark brown.D. Different colors and rooms will stimulate different reactions.32 What will the people in the white room do, compared with the people in the darkbrown room?A. They will spend less timeB. They will spend longer time.C. They will become restless.D.They will get out soon.33 How will beautiful rooms influence visitors at an exhibition?A. They will make visitors appreciate the exhibits more.B. They will make visitors cover more area.C.They will make visitors walk faster.D.They will make visitors find the subjects on display less beautiful.34 What does the underlined word “subjects” mean?A. Examinees.B. StudentsC. People that participate in an experiment.D. Visitors to an exhibition.35 What can be the main idea of the passage?A. Two groups of people participated in an experiment.B. Light-colored rooms make students do better on the exams.C. People in nice-looking rooms tend to change their opinion.D. The effects of a room’s general appear ances and its wall color on visitors. Passage IIQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Water on the earth is being continuously recycled in a process known as the hydrologic cycle. The first step of the cycle is the evaporation of water in the oceans. Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, which then forms clouds in the sky. The second step is the water returning to the earth in the form of either rain, snow or ice. When the water reaches the earth’s surface, it runs o ff into the rivers, lakes and the ocean, where the cycle begins again.Not all water, however, stays on the surface of the earth in the hydrologic cycle. Some of it flows slowly into the ground through infiltration and collects under the earth’s surface a s ground water. This ground water is extremely important to life on earth since 95% of the earth’s water is in the oceans, and is too salty for humans or plants. Of the 5% on land, only 0.05% is above ground in rivers or lakes. The rest is underground w ater. This ground water is plentiful and dependable, as it doesn’t depend on seasonal rain or snow. It is the major source of water for many cities. But as the population increases and the need for water also increases, the ground water in some areas is getting dangerously low. Added to this problem is an increasing amount of pollution that flows into the ground water. In the future, with an increasing population and more poisonous waste, the hydrologic cycle we depend on could become dangerously unbalanced.36 Clouds are formed from ______.A. evaporationB. water vaporC. outer spaceD. the hydrologic cycle37 What percentage of the total earth’s water does underground water make up?A. 0.05%B. 0.5%C. 4.95%D. 5%38 Which of the following is TRUE about ground water?A. It comes from the oceansB. It depends on seasonal rain.C. It is 95% of all water.D. It collects under the earth.39 The supply of ground water is getting low because of ______.A. conservationB. poisonous wasteC. pollutionD. population increase40 This passage mainly discusses ______.A. water conservationB. the hydrologic cycleC. underground waterD. polluted ground waterPassage IIIQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Friends play an important part in our lives and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. Although we get on well with many people, we are usually friends with only a very few --- for example, the average number of friends among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together but beyond that, the degree in intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary greatly. As we get to know people, we take into consideration things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of first importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is an obvious difference in age and background. Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common --- they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to help friends and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to accept differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful tie, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.41 According to the author______.A. all those who get on well with each other are friendsB. friends are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC. everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD. every student has six friends42 When we make friends, we consider such things as age, race, and background,because ______.A. it is not easy to have a friendly relationship with people when there is a greatdifference in age, background, etc.B. the degree of friendship between two people and the reason for their sharedinterest can vary widelyC. friends need to know all these thingsD. these are the most important factors to make friends43 In Paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ______.A. using the same frequency while talkingB. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD. having the same background44 Which of the following is false according to the passage?A. Even friends may have differences of opinionsB. Friends never argue with each otherC.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.45 To strengthen friendly relationship, people ______.A.must hold friendship ceremoniesB.have to remove differences in backgroundC.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same raceD.should support and understand each other through shared experiences andemotion.Passage FourQuestions 46-50 are based on the following passage:We'd gone up to the city, my husband and I, to see a friend of his from college. He was doing well for himself now, a businessman living in a high-class apartment on the Magnificent Mile. It was a treat for us to get away like this, on the rare occasions we could get a baby-sitter.He met us at the parking garage (停车库) he'd recommended (推荐) and offered to pay for. "City life's great," he'd said, "except for finding a parking space." There was the slap on the back for my husband, and a kiss on the cheek for me. Then he led us out to the street for the two-block walk to his apartment.The North Side reminded me of a refined street festival that summer night –crowds of people, somehow looking well-dressed even in jeans, strolling up and down the sidewalks, stopping in at the dozens of restaurants.We were walking three abreast (并肩) down the sidewalk. I was on the inside, closest to the buildings, and I saw him out of the corner of my eye.He was old, sitting on the doorstep of a store already locked for the night. He was bundled up in a dirty jacket that looked way too heavy for summer. Every few seconds, he called out to the passing people. "Got a quarter?" "Can you spare some change?"We'd seen people like him before, of course. We'd learned not to look them in the eye, to close our ears, to walk on by. Usually they expected to be ignored. Some of them tried to make you feel guilty (内疚), though, by telling you they needed money to feed their kids.So I steeled myself as we approached him. "Got any loose change you can spare?" he piped up."Get lost!" our friend shouted, looking straight ahead.As we brushed by, I got a look at him. Gray hair; a creased (有皱痕的), worn face that, inexplicably (无法解释地), had a toothless smile on it.Then we were past him, not missing a step in our steady stride.
