UNIT 1陌生人的善意1 一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。

在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。

他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。

我直接从他身边开过去了。

别人会停下来的，我想。

再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。

在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。

到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。

2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。

把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。

让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。

我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。

我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。

那里是田纳西•威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。

我回想起布兰奇•杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。

”4 陌生人的善意。

听起来好怪。

如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。

他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。

但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。

所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。

要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。

我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。

这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。

我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。

8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。

我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

The Opposition formed an alliance with the trade unions and launched a general strike, which ultimately brought about the downfall of the government.2. Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and the students are becoming more and more practical. Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower in which scholars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end.3.

"He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.""That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds."I know," the girl cried, "and if I can’t finish by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!""Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go.Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life. （10 分）(1).

In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world. （10 分）(1).

Reading Tasks(20’)Passage One:Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on. For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At time, however, we become aware of it. This is usually we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a king of comprehension, which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process”conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _______________________.A) the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the text.B.) the reader has trouble understanding what the author says.C) the reader asks questions and gets answers.D) the reader understands a text very well.32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to________________________.A) read a text slowlyB) read without thinking hardC) interpret a text in their own wayD.) concentrate on the meaning of words only.33. A “process” conversation has to do with ________________________.A.) the application of reading strategiesB) matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC) the development of our ability to check the detailsD) determining the main idea of a text.34. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higherlevel to maintain a balance between __________________________.A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehensionB) the readers’ expectations and the meaning of a textC.) lower and higher level of comprehensionD) interpreting and criticizing a text35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should___________.A.) learn to use different approaches in reading different textB) make our reading process more consciousC) pay more attention to the content of a textD) take a critical attitude towards the author’s ideaPassage Two:We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and tocommunicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.36. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is ________.A) criticalB) questioningC.) approvingD) objective37. B y “held back” (Line 1) the author means “________”A) made to remain in the same classesB) forced to study I the lower classesC) drawn to their studiesD.) prevented from advancing38. The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the d evelopment ofthe student’s ________.A) personal qualities and social skillsB.) total personalityC) learning ability and communicative skillsD) intellectual ability39. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A) Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B) Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C) Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capableorganizers.D.) Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.40. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A.) argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB) recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC) offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD) emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingIII.

Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11.This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance betweenthe poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1)The text begins with an anecdote.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China andthe West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.Chinese1)Show a child how to do something, or tech by holding the hand2)Give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing thatcreativity can be promoted over timeAmericans1)Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2)Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skillscan be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1)summarizing(2)value originalityand independence (3)contrast between (4)in terms of(5)harbor(6)fearful(7)comparable(8)promote creativity(9)emerge(10)picked upLanguage Focus VocabularyI1.1)insert2)on occasion3)investigate4)In retrospect 5)initial6)phenomena7)attached8)make up for9)is awaiting10)not; in the least11)promote12)emerged2.1) a striking contrast between the standards of living in the north of thecountry and the south.2)is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3)as a financial center has evolved slowly.4)is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5)by a little-known sixteen-century Italian poet have found their way intosome English magazines.3.1)be picked up; can’t accomplish; am exaggerating2)somewhat; the performance; have neglected; they apply to3)assist; On the other hand; are valid; a superiorII1.1)continual2)continuous 3)continual4)continuous2.1)principal2)principal3)principle 4)principles5)principalIII1.themselves2.himself/herself3.herself/by herself/on her own4.itself5.ourselves6.yourself/by yourself/on your ownComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)contrast(2)exaggerating(3)priority(4)on the other hand (5)promoting(6)pick up(7)assist(8)accomplish(9)on occasion(10)neglecting(11)worthwhile(12)superior2.(1)end(2)perform(3)facing(4)competent (5)equipped(6)designed(7)approach(8)rest(9)definitely(10)qualityII.translation1.(1)It takes an enormous amount of courage to make a departure from thetradition.(2)Tom used to be very shy, but this time he was bold enough to give a performancein front of a large audience.(3)Many educators think it desirable to foster the creative spirit in the childat an early age.(4)Assuming this painting really is a masterpiece, do you thi nk it’sworthwhile to buy it?(5)If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem weare investigating.2.To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.。

It was originally built as a hunting chateau by King Louis VIII in 1624. In 1669, King Louis XIV began searching for a grand site where he could conduct the affairs of France and control the government. He settled on the hunting palace and expanded it int o the world’s largest palace. In addition, the King hoped to build a governmental center apart from Paris.The palace took 36,000 workers fifty years to build. The palace is spread out over 280 acres and can house 20,000 people! The palace features over 700 rooms and 67 staircases. There are dozens of unique rooms, features, gardens, and halls. One of the most renowned rooms of the Palace of Versailles is the Hall of Mirrors. Recently restored, the Hall of Mirrors is the centerpiece of the dazzling building. Originally added to the palace in 1684, the Hall of Mirrors was built to be a dazzling display of the power and wealth of the French Monarchy. The hall, which measures 73 meters in length features 357 gold-coated stucco mirrors, ornate paintings, crystal chandeliers, marble fixtures, a parquet floor,and ceilings with colorful murals painted by artist Charles Le Brun.

In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he was already the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" because people told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the facthis coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.16 What did Gilbert's father do for a living in California?. CA. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.17 When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School? CA. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.18 Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors? AA. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.19 Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert's second year? BA. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.20 Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage? DA. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 3Manners are very important in every country, but the troubleis that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say "hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.21 When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____B________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye22 What will a person do when he attends a party run by older people? DA. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.23 On which occasion will the English toast? AA. A wedding reception.B. A dinner party.C. A speech.D. A meeting.24 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? CA. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. T he English usually can’t understand foreign students, impolite behaviors.25 Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. BA. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.C. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.Part III.

Reading Tasks(20’)Passage One:Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on. For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At time, however, we become aware of it. This is usually we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a king of comprehension, which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process”conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are advanced readers our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _______________________.A) the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the text.B.) the reader has trouble understanding what the author says.C) the reader asks questions and gets answers.D) the reader understands a text very well.32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to________________________.A) read a text slowlyB) read without thinking hardC) interpret a text in their own wayD.) concentrate on the meaning of words only.33. A “process” conversation has to do with ________________________.A.) the application of reading strategiesB) matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC) the development of our ability to check the detailsD) determining the main idea of a text.34. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higherlevel to maintain a balance between __________________________.A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehensionB) the readers’ expectations and the meaning of a textC.) lower and higher level of comprehensionD) interpreting and criticizing a text35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should___________.A.) learn to use different approaches in reading different textB) make our reading process more consciousC) pay more attention to the content of a textD) take a critical attitude towards the author’s ideaPassage Two:We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and tocommunicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.36. In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is ________.A) criticalB) questioningC.) approvingD) objective37. B y “held back” (Line 1) the author means “________”A) made to remain in the same classesB) forced to study I the lower classesC) drawn to their studiesD.) prevented from advancing38. The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the d evelopment ofthe student’s ________.A) personal qualities and social skillsB.) total personalityC) learning ability and communicative skillsD) intellectual ability39. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?A) Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with other.B) Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C) Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capableorganizers.D.) Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.40. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A.) argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB) recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC) offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD) emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingIII.

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 experi ence at the same time.
