Part III Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 15 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the correct answer and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gestures and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their
store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
1. Before children start speaking________.
A. they need equal amount of listening
B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instruct ions
2. Children who start speaking late ________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
3. A baby’s first noises are ________.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings
B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something
D. an imitation of the speech of adults
4. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as
speech________.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words
changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of
words is often meaningless
5. The speaker implies________.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statement are numbered 41 to 45.
The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is
best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded i n Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits m ore lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.

Many people believe that Americans love their cars almost more than anything
else. It may be true. From the time youngsters become fourteen years old, they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their last years of high school in order to buy a car. Learning to drive and obtaining a driver’s license may be one of the most exciting things for a young person.

For some families, it is not enough to have one car. They often have two (or even three) cars---one for work and one for recreation(娱乐).
Many men and women in the United States need to have a car. Many need a car to go to work. Housewives need a car to go shopping or take the children to school or other activities.

Unit 1 Text A College—A Transition Point in My Life 1 When I first entered college as a freshman, I was afraid that I was not able to do well in my studies. I was afraid of being off by myself, away from my family for the first time. Here I was surrounded by people I did not know and who did not know me. I would have to make friends with them and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me? 2 I soon learned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I wanted to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent studying and the time I spent socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, when and what to eat, when and what to drink, and with whom to be friendly. These questions I had to answer for myself. 3 At first, life was a bit difficult. I made mistakes in how I used my time. I spent too much time making friends. I also made some mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college. 4 Shortly, however, I had my life under control. I managed to go to class on time, do my first assignments and hand them in, and pass my first exams with fairly good grades. In addition, I made a few friends with whom I felt comfortable and with whom I could share my fears. I set up a routine that was really my own — a routine that met my needs.

高等职业教育英语课程教学要求（试行） 为适应我国高等职业教育发展的新形势，深化教学改革，提高教学质量，满足新时期国家和社会对高职人才培养的需求，贯彻高等职业教育“以服务为宗旨，以就业为导向，走产学结合的发展道路”的办学方针，实现培养高素质的技能型专门人才的目标，特制定《高等职业教育英语课程教学要求》（以下简称《高职英语教学要求》），以此作为指导各校组织高职高专英语教学（非英语专业）的主要依据。 鉴于全国各类高等职业院校的教学资源、学生入学水平、专业涉及的职业方向以及所面临的社会需求等有较大差异，各校应根据《高职英语教学要求》制定符合本校实际情况的实施性英语教学大纲，指导本校的英语教学。 一、课程性质与教学目标 高职英语课程是高等职业教育学生必修的一门公共基础课程，是为培养面向生产、建设、服务和管理第一线需要的高技能人才的目标服务的。 高职英语课程以培养学生实际应用英语的能力为目标，侧重职场环境下语言交际能力的培养，使学生逐步提高用英语进行交流与沟通的能力。同时，高职英语课程要使学生掌握有效的学习
方法和策略，培养学生的学习兴趣和自主学习能力，提高学生的综合文化素养和跨文化交际意识，为提升学生的就业竞争力及未来的可持续发展打下必要的基础。 二、教学要求 高职英语课程不仅要帮助学生打好语言基础，更要注重培养学生实际应用语言的技能，特别是用英语处理与未来职业相关的业务能力。鉴于区域性经济对于人才的需求各异、不同专业的就业去向对英语能力的要求差异较大以及学生未来就业岗位对英语口、笔头沟通能力的需求不同，各校可根据专业特点，以学生的职业需求和发展为本位，制定不同的教学要求，为学生提供多种学习选择，充分体现分类指导、因材施教的原则。以下教学要求供各校在制定实施性英语课程教学大纲时参考。 （一）较高要求：适用于对学生的英语能力要求高的专业 1．掌握3,500个英语单词（含在中学阶段已经掌握的词汇）以及由这些词构成的常用词组，对参考词汇表中列出的3,000个共核词汇能在口头和书面表达时加以熟练运用。另需掌握500个与行业相关的常见英语词汇。 2．掌握基本的英语语法，能在职场交际中熟练运用所学语法

Unit 1 如何快速适应大学生活 当你第一次进入大学的时候，你会发现，大学生活和高中生活有很大区别。在高中，我们总是依靠家长和老师帮助我们解决各种困难问题。然而在大学，我们只能依靠自己。除此以外，我们必须学会如何与同学、室友和睦相处。几乎每个大学新生都经历过不同程度的紧张和焦虑情绪。但是不用担心，现在给你一些建议，希望能帮助你尽快适应大学生活。 1、记住，不是只有你有这种情况。你宿舍的每个人都有同样的情况。和他们说说你的恐惧和焦虑。他们可能也有同样的感觉，并且很乐意向你倾诉他们的感觉。 、走出你的宿舍。上大学的好处在于你可以与新的面孔一起重新开始生活。他们不会知道你的过去，他们只会知道你希望他们知道的事情。因此，尝试新的事物，不要害怕，试着展现新的个性。弄清楚真正的自己，弄清楚你希望成为什么样的人，这是最佳的时机。 3、制定详细的学习计划。学习计划应该包括：你的短期目标，每个阶段要阅读什么书籍，参加哪些课外活动，以及你每天的活动安排。这会有助于你充分利用业余时间。 4、不要忘记享受大学生活！在大学里，要过得愉快，结交新朋友，和学习新知识。而寄宿就是一个很好的方式。和朋友们消磨时间，和学习伙伴一起努力备考。做疯狂的事情，照相留念，分享有趣的故事----快活地渡过。你只年轻一次！ 记住，你的朋友和你的父母都离你不远，只要你打一个电话就行。记住，每个人的适应时间都是不同的。从容以对，但最重要的是，学有所成。 Unit 2 关于自己 嗨，大家好！欢迎访问我的博客。首先让我介绍一下我自己。我18岁，男。来自中国南方的一个小村子。村子虽小，但很美丽。它位于一条小河。那里空气很新鲜, 水是如此清澈,你可以看到很多的鱼在河里游泳。村子周围是稻田。这就是众所周知的“鱼米之乡”。 现在, 我在中国南方职业技术学院学习计算机科学。毕业后我想成为一名计算机工程师。我喜欢我的大学生活。它与高中生活十分不同。下课后你都是靠自己了。没有人告诉你该做什么。所以你需要计划好你的时间, 以便你不会浪费时间。我的同学都很用功, 因为我们知道“时间不等人”。我们必须好好利用时间来学习更多的知识。 我有着积极的人生态度。有很多事情我想做、去看、去体验。我喜欢读书、写作。我爱思考, 喜欢做梦。我喜欢春天的花、夏天的雨水, 秋天的叶子, 冬天的雪。我喜欢大城市里的摩天大楼, 我喜欢绿色的田野。我喜欢好书和浪漫的电影。我喜欢美味的食物和舒适的鞋子。我的大部分业余时间上网去寻找有用的信息。我也花时间写作和更新博客。它就像我的第二故乡, 我的梦之乡。 这就是我, 刘名。非常感谢你来浏览我的博客! 欢迎你留言! Unit 3 职业规划 职业规划是一个终身的过程，它包括职业选择、找到工作、在工作中进步、可能还要更换职业、直至最后退休。这个过程通常包含四个步骤：分析、研究、选择和行动。 第一步是做一个详细的自我分析。你不仅要考虑自己的兴趣和技能，还要考虑自己的个性和价值观。除此之外，还要通过咨询家人和朋友认识到自己的真正长处，并且不要忘记考虑你自己喜欢的工作环境和发展需求。 一旦完成了自我分析，就该开始研究你最感兴趣的职业种类了。你是愿意成为工程师还是商人？中学老师比销售员工资高吗？软件工程师和软件研发者之间有什么不同？研究你想从事的工作和行业，并设法和那些在该行业中有工作经验的人交谈。 做完职业研究，就该选择可能的职业道路了。此时，你需要收集更详细的信息。对于每一种
高职高专英语立体化系列教材课文翻译及答案 新职业英语职业综合英语2（通用版） 总主编：徐小贞 外语教学与研究出版社 Unit 1 Text A 职场时装潮流 许多人每天都在捕捉职场时装的潮流，以便能与那些衣着时尚得体的人们步调一致。他们认为按最新潮流穿衣打扮能为自己赢得时尚和时髦的好名声。尽管这样做合情合理，你还是要小心谨慎。 许多人并没有意识到，追随职场时装潮流有利也有弊。好处之一，正如上面所提到的，穿一套时髦的衣服去上班，很可能会得到一堆夸奖。这种感觉很不错，也让人引以为豪。 然而事实上这种追随弊大于利。例如，职场时装潮流往往不区分工作和职业。在一家新潮的咖啡馆或零售店工作，着装要求很可能是休闲服。而在一家法律或保险公司上班，着装则需要更职业化。不幸的是，很多职场新潮时装是为工作中的一般大众而设计，而非为特定职业设计。因此一不小心就可能出问题。 在追随这种时装潮流之前，要好好地仔细审视一下所谓的潮流。比如，潮流是不是时兴半身裙或连衣裙，而不论其长短呢？如果确实如此，那么最重要的是要考虑自己的工作性质。如果是办公室的职业白领，连衣裙就非常适合。但如果是在零售店当经理，连衣裙或半身裙则可能会妨碍工作，影响工作效率。 很多人会因为穿了时髦的职场时装而备受称赞，但事情并非总是如此。最不希望的是不但没有受到夸奖，还落下坏名声。正是因为这个原因，你必须考虑别人对你的看法，你必须确保给别人留下的是个好印象。 到底要不要将职场最时髦的潮流带入衣柜，这个决定得自己做，但在做出决定前请考虑考虑上面提到的问题。 Text B波音公司行为准则 波音公司行为准则为全体波音公司员工制定了必须遵守的行为规范。 波音公司的企业经营建立在公平、公正的基础上，符合道德规范和法律、法规。在企业经营中，诚信是公司处理一切关系的基础，包括公司与客户的关系、供应商和公众的关系以及员工之间的关系。在履行公司职责时，波音公司要求员工以最高商业道德标准要求自己。员工不得参与损害公司诚信、公平、声誉或者为公司带来麻烦的任何活动。 员工应确保： ●不参与可能导致公司及个人利益冲突的任何活动。

高职专业英语教学模式及案例分析 “模式”一词是英文model的汉译名词。model还译为“模型”、“范式”、“典型”等。何谓“教学模式”？美国乔伊斯和韦尔在《教学模式》一书中是这样界定的：“教学模式是构成课程和作业、选择教材、提示教师活动的一种范式或计划。”也就是说，是在一定的教学思想或教学理论指导下建立各种类型教学活动的基本结构 或框架，即为教学模式。其具体表现为教学过程中多样性和可操作性的程序策略体系。高职专业英语教学没有现成的模式，也不允许恪守固定的模式，但这并不是说不需要模式、排弃模式。因此教师对教学模式的选择和运用是有一定的要求，教学模式必须与教学目标相契合，并考虑实际的教学条件和针对不同的教学内容来选择教学模式。 一、高职专业英语适用的教学模式 对教学模式的研究，一向是教育学界研究的热点。近几十年来，研究者提出了各种各样的教学模式，乔伊斯和韦尔在《教学模式》一书中将其归纳成传递接受式、自学辅导式、探究式、概念获得式、巴特勒学习式、抛锚式、范例式、现象分析式、加涅式、奥苏贝尔式、合作学习式、发现式等12大类。这12大类模式都是从教学的整体出发，根据教学的规律原则而归纳提炼出的包括教学形式和方法在内的具有典型性、稳定性、易学性的教学样式。它们各有特点，在教学中是选择某个单一模式、还是几个模式相互融合在一起，教师需根据学生情况和教材内容而定。
笔者在常年的专业英语教学实践中，曾尝试各种不同的模式，几经磨砺后，遵循教学模式的建构理论，尝试总结出下述两个模式，并在职业学院专业英语教学中运用，取得了不错的教学效果。 其一，传递接受模式与探究模式相结合的模式 传递接受模式源于赫尔巴特的四段教学法，很多教师在教学中自觉不自觉地都在用这种方法教学。其理论基础是行为心理学中操作性条件反射的原理，着眼点在于充分挖掘人的记忆力、推理能力与间接经验在掌握知识方面的作用，使学生比较快速有效地掌握更多的信息量。基本教学程序是： 复习旧课——激发学习动机——讲授新课——巩固练习——检查评价——间隔性复习 该模式的优点是：学生能在短时间内接受大量的信息；不足是：学生对接受的信息很难真正地理解，不利于培养的学生创新思维和解决实际问题的能力。 探究式教学模式的理论基础是依据皮亚杰和布鲁纳的建构主义理论，注重学生的前认知，并以“问题解决”为中心的，着眼于学生的思维能力的培养。基本教学程序是： 问题——假设——推理——验证——总结提高 该模式的优点是：能够培养学生创新能力、思维能力，以及自主学习的能力。不足是：只适宜知识面宽的学生。 所谓传递接受模式与探究模式相结合的模式，就是在了解学生知识储备的前提下，将两种模式结合取舍，然后运用，可以最大化地
Unit3 1.It’s important to know your objectives on a business trip, and to set out with those goals in mind and how to accomplish them. But along the way, something rather amazing happens when you travel on business. You may go to some pretty amazing places, and get chances to see things you would have never sought out on your own. 翻译：了解出差的目的，出发时牢记目标并清楚如何达成目标，这些都是很重要的。但在途中也会发生一些有趣的事情。你可能会去到一些令人惊叹的地方，有机会看到你自己可能永远都发现不了的东西。 2.Business trips don’t have to be all about business. There are times when you have completed your work and you can take in some of the local color, attractions and good food. The first resource to find out what is really cool to enjoy in the city or town you are visiting is the locals. If you go to a faraway town to conduct business with a partner or vendor, they are often more than happy to show you the lay of the land and what is fun to see and do in the town. 翻译：商务旅行不必都是生意。完成工作后，就可以去领略一下地方特色，参观当地的风景名胜，品尝当地的美味佳肴。如果想要了解出差城市里有些什么真正好玩的东西，第一大资源就睡当地居民。 如果你去一个很远的城市与合伙人或卖家谈生意，他们会非常乐意带你去了解当地的环境，去好玩的去处做有意思的事。 5. To find those unique events in town that not many know about, you can read the local paper and look for those little local culture or arts papers. They will carry details of festivals going on around the area as well as what is happening in the clubs and theaters. You may find a regional celebration not far away that you can be part of, and pretend to be a local for a few hours and have plenty of fun along the way. 翻译：要想了解当地不为外人所知的特色活动，你可以阅读地方报纸，翻阅当地的文化艺术小报。这些报纸除了登载俱乐部及影剧院正在举办的活动之外，还会有周边地区详细的节庆活动介绍。你可能会发现没多远就有地区性的庆祝活动，而你则可以权作一回当地人，好好玩上几个小时。 Unit4 1.Charging for products and services has become a way of life. No longer do people bring cash when they buy a sweater or an appliance, they charge it. Some people do it for the convenience of not carrying cash; others do it so they can purchase an item they cannot yet afford. The credit card that allows them to do this is a 20th century invention. 翻译：记账购买产品和服务已成为一种生活方式。人们不再带现金去购买毛衣或电器，而是记账消费。 有些人这么做是因为不带现金很方便，另一些人则是因为可以购买自己暂时买不起的东西。人们之所以能这么做是因为有了信用卡——一项20世纪的发明。 2.In the early 20th century, charge accounts became popular. With automobiles and airplanes, people now had the option to travel to a variety of stores for their shopping needs. In an effort to capture customer loyalty, many stores and gas stations began to offer charge accounts for their customers which could be accessed by a card. Unfortunately, people needed to carry dozens of these cards if they were to do a day of shopping. 翻译：20世纪早期，记账账户流行了起来。有了汽车和飞机，人们可以选择去很多不同的商店以满足购物需求。为了赢得客户忠诚度，许多商店和加油站开始为顾客提供记账账户，账户通过一张卡来使用。遗憾的是，人们要想逛一天街，那就得带上许多这样的卡。 7. Instead of individual companies offering credit to their own customers, the Diners Club offered credit to individuals for many companies. The companies who accepted the Diners Club credit card were charged 7 percent for each transaction while the subscribers to the card were charged a $3 annual fee. In the beginning, progress was difficult. However, the concept of the card grew and by the end of 1950, 20,000
