大学英语(三)-3习题及答案一、阅读理解April Fool’s Day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool’s errands(差事), and fool the unsuspecting. Noone knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France. The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Year was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year’s Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in themid-1560’s by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools. Tricks performed on April Fool’s Day range from the simple to th e elaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock back an hour is common. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documentary about “spaghetti farmers” and how they harvest thei r crop from the spaghetti trees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, “April Fool!” April Fool’s Day is a “for-fun-only” observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their “significant other” out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant(警惕的), for he may be the next AprilFool!Each country celebrates April Fool’s differently. In France, the April Fo ol’s is called “April Fish”. The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends’ backs. In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a “noodle”.(4.0 分)1.April Fool’s Day was first celebrated in_________.A.EnglandB.AmericaC.FranceD.Rome得分:4(4.0 分)2.According to the old calendar, April 1st was_________.A.April Fool’s DayB.New Year’s DayC.New Year’s EveD.a regular day得分:4(4.0 分)3.Which is NOT the custom of April Fool’s Day?A.Calling victims of tricks April Fools.B.Playing tricks on somebody.C.Eating out with their family.D.Celebrating this day just for fun.得分:4(4.0 分)4.It can be inferred that on April Fool’s Day people tend to ______.A.be on guardB.feel annoyedC.feel scaredD.be at their best得分:4(4.0 分)5.It can be concluded that ______.A.those who are mentally slow are called April FoolsB.people have been celebrating April Fool’s Day for well over five centuriesC.the celebration of April Fool’s Day is more or less the same.D.the celebration of April Fool’s Day varies from country to country得分:4The comprehension passages on this course are designed to help you increase your reading speed. A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much morerapidly than a physics or economics textbook, but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gain will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.The reading passages that follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about 500 words long. They are about topics of general interest that do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding, at 400 words per minute, you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to 200 or 250.Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A., for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 w.p.m. with about 70% comprehension. Minnesota claims that after 12 half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around 500 w.p.m. It is further claimed that with intensive training over seventeen weeks, speeds of over 1000 w.p.m. can be reached, but this would be quite exceptional.(4.0 分)6.According to the passage, a higher reading rate of English depends on______.A.a large vocabularyB.learning other subjects well besides EnglishC.a good comprehension of the reading textsD.different reading speeds for different types of texts得分:4(4.0 分)7.According to the article, the reading passages on this course are ______.A.more difficult than a textbook on a particular subject.B.easier than a light novelC.more demanding than news storiesD.of the same category as novels and newspapers得分:4(4.0 分)8.You can expect to read your textbooks ______.A.more quickly than you read the passages on this courseB.re quickly than you read a newspaperC.more slowly than you read the passages on this courseD.faster than any other kind of material得分:4(4.0 分)9.For a book of average difficulty the average untrained native speaker at the university of Minnesota ______.A.reads at 500 w.p.m.B.reads at 400 w.p.m.C.reads at about 1,000 w.p.m.D.reads at about 245 w.p.m.得分:4(4.0 分)10.An untrained student’s reading speed can be ______ with intensive training over twelve weeks.A.increased four timesB.doubledC.tripledD.increased a little得分:4二、单选题(3.0 分)1.

PetsThere are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In most instances, however, people treat their pets likemembers of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States, and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and g o u r m e t(美味的) food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets inNew York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, hats and mittens for pets. In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is mon for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France,there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for 20 of them.On the menu, there are varieties of special gourmet dishes for dogs to choose from. There is a sausage dish, a turkey dish, and apasta dish, among others. For dessert, there is a variety of French cheeses and, of course, dog biscuits.In the U.S., there is a very rich cat who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat inherited100,000 dollars when his owner died. In addition, the owner left Kitty Cat a beautiful mansion to live in. There is a person who es to the mansion every day to feed and take care of Kitty Cat.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in suchwealth and luxury. There is a more practical and functional attitude towards pets. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have their affectionate feelings for their pets. However, they do not seethem as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing, or jewelry, or gourmet food for animals. There aren't special restaurants for dogs. There are no rich cats who live in mansions.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.The special restaurant in Niceoffers __________________for dogs.A.roast turkeysB.toast and noodlesC.fried chicken□ .different kinds of cheeses2.Which of the following sentences is true according tothe passage?A.Pets enjoy special treatmentin the U.S. and Europe.B.Dogs and cats never wear clothing.C.In most parts of the world, pets live a fortable life.D.Kitty C at inherited one million dollars from hisowner.3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned inthis passage?A.Kitty Cat is a very rich cat.B.The special restaurant in Nice has seats for 20 dogs.C.Some pet shops in New York sell gold to pets.D.People own cats and dogs mainly to keep awaymice and other unwanted animals.4.In most parts of the world, animalsA.are treated as equal to their owners' family membersB.have a superior position to their owners' family membersC.have a n inferior position to their owners' familymembersD.are treated better than their owners' family members5.

Have an iPod.T aking a step that many professors may view as a bit counterproductive, some colleges and universities are doling out Apple iPhones and Internet-capable iPods to their students.The always-on Internet devices raise some novel possibilities, like tracking where students gather together. With far less controversy, colleges could send messages about canceled classes, delayed buses, campus crises or just the cafeteria menu.While schools emphasize its usefulness —online research in class and instant polling of students, for example —a big part of the attraction is, undoubtedly, that the iPhone is cool and a hit with students. Being equipped with one of the most recent cutting-edge IT products could just help a college or university foster a cutting-edge reputation.Apple stands to win as well, hooking more young consumers with decades of technology purchases ahead of them. The lone losers, some fear, could be professors.Students already have laptops and cell phones, of course, but the newest devices can take class distractions to a new level. They practically beg a user to ignore the long-suffering professor struggling to pass on accumulated wisdom from the front of the room — a prospect that teachers find most irritating and students view as, well, inevitable.“When it gets a little boring, I might pull it out,”acknowledged Naomi Pugh, a first-year student at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Term., referring to her new iPod Touch, which can connect to the Internet over a campus wireless network. She speculated that professors might try even harder to make classes interesting if they were to compete with the devices.Experts see a movement toward the use of mobile technology in education, though they say it is in its infancy as professors try to come up with useful applications. Providing powerful handheld devices is sure to fuel debates over the role of technology in higher education.“We think this is the way the future is going to work,” said Kyle Dickson, co-director of research and the mobile learning initiative at Abilene Christian University in Texas, which has bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for students entering this fall.Although plenty of students take their laptops to class, they don’t take them everywhere and would prefer something lighter. Abilene Christian settled on the devices after surveying students and finding that they did not like hauling around their laptops, but that most of them always carried a cell phone, Dr. Dickson said.It is not clear how many colleges and universities plan to give out iPhones and iPods this fall; officials at Apple were unwilling to talk about the subject and said that they would not leak any institution’s plans.“We can’t announce other people’s news,”said Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPod and iPhone marketing at Apple. He also said that he could not discuss discounts to universities for bulk purchases.At least four institutions — the University of Maryland, Oklahoma Christian University, Abilene Christian and Freed-Hardeman — have announced that they will give the devices to some or all of their students this fall. Other universities are exploring their options. Stanford University has hired a student-run company to design applications like a campus map and directory for the iPhone. It is considering whether to issue iPhones but not sure it, snecessary, noting that more than 700 iPhones were registered on the university’s network last year. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, iPhones might already have been everywhere, if AT&T, the wireless carrier offering the iPhone in the United States, had a more reliable network, said Andrew Yu, mobile devices platform project manager at M.I.T.“We would have probably gone ahead with this, maybe just getting a thousand iPhones and giving them out,”Mr. Yusaid.The University of Maryland at College Park is proceeding cautiously, giving the iPhone or iPod Touch to 150 students, said Jeffrey Huskamp, vice president and chief information officer at the university. “We don’t think that we have all the answers,” Mr. Huskamp said. By observing how students use the gadgets, he said, “We’re trying to get answers from the students.”At each college, the students who choose to get an iPhone must pay for mobile phone service. Those service contracts include unlimited data use. Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devices can connect to the Internet through campus wireless networks. With the iPhone, those networks may provide faster connections and longer battery life than AT&T’s data network. Many cell phones allow users to surf the Web, but only some newer ones are capable of wireless connection to the local area computer network.University officials say that they have no plans to track their students (and Apple said it would not be possible unless students give their permission). They say that they are drawn to the prospect of learning applications outside the classroom, though such lesson plans have yet to surface.“My colleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computer research dealing with the combination of real-world and virtual reality),” said Christopher Dede, professor in learning technologies at Harvard University. “Alien Contact,” for example, is an exercise developed for middle-school students who use hand-held devices that can determine their location. As they walk around a playground or other area, text, video or audio pops up at various points to help them try to figure out why aliens were in the schoolyard.“You can imagine similar kinds of interactive activities along historical lines,” like following the Freedom Trail in Boston, Professor Dede said. “It’s important that we do research, so that we know how well something like this works.”The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that students are less likely to participate in class if they are multi-tasking. “I’m not someone who’s anti-technology, but I,m always worried that technology becomes an end in and of itself, and it replaces teaching or it replaces analysis,,’ said Ellen Millender, associate professor of classics at Reed College in Portland, Ore. (She added that she hoped to buy an iPhone for herself once prices fall.)Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law School for about 40 years, announced this week — in a detailed, footnoted memorandum —that he would ban laptop computers from his class on contract law.“I would ban that too if I knew the students were using it in class,” Professor Summers said of the iPhone, after the device and its capabilities were explained to him. “What we want to encourage in these students is an active intellectual experience, in which they develop the wide range of complex reasoning abilities required of good lawyers.”The experience at Duke University may ease some concerns. A few years ago, Duke began giving iPods tostudents with the idea that they might use them to record lectures (these older models could not access the Internet).“We had assumed that the biggest focus of these devices would be consuming the content,” said Tracy Futhey, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at Duke.But that is not all that the students did. They began using the iPods to create their own “content,” making audio recordings of themselves and presenting them. The students turned what could have been a passive interaction into an active one, Ms. Futhey said.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

The author seems to have some optimism about being fifty.● It is a reference to different perspectives, different attitudes of various ages to “age”.11.●People may think that being old is a misery, but having the years of experience old people help you to live your life in a better way. An alternative interpretation is that it is not simply the old age which makes old people feel miserable. It is the accumulation of their experiences which make them miserable. The second interpretation of a rather wry joke.●Perhaps either as a joke or as a serious (but pessimistic) comment of life, almost certainly made by an older person.● It could reflect a humorous, philosophical, non-serious view; or the opposite, a mournful cry.12.● Experience (“living long”) teaches us how to live well.● Again, perhaps it is more likely to be written than spoken.● Experience over many years is seen as blessings and benefits.13.● Enjoy your youth and make the most of the opportunities which come your way; then, when you are older, you don’t have any regrets that you wasted it.●An older person -----perhaps a parent ----to a younger people; the comment shows wry humor by suggesting that the main preoccupation older people in that they lament their lost youth.● He /She sees youth as priceless and not to be wasted.14.● The general, meaning is that people change as they grow older .the specific meaning of each stage depends on how people understand the metaphors of the animals (and this varies in different cultures). A likely Spanish interpretation is : at twenty people are concerned with their appearance ,at thirty they are brave , at forty they carry heavy burdens ,at fifty they twist and turn and can’t be trusted , at sixty they are loyal ,at seventy they are wise ,at eighty they are nothing .●As it’s rather long, it is more likely to be part of a written paper . Now it could be said by anybody au any stage but probably originally it was written by an older person.●Perhaps it reflects a cynical attitude to the way peopledevelop .perhaps students might here be asked to explain what each of the different creatures at the various stages of life represents in Chinese or other culture.15.● The tide “ebbs” (i.e. its strength and power is lessened) and human beings get older and become less strong. The tide returns as strong as ever and other people are young and their tide is rising.● Spoken or read in a poem.●Perhaps said by someone who, though he /she feels sad, can rationalize and see that there is no reason to be sad.Expanding your vocabulary1 breakthrough noun2 dramatically adverb3 dietary supplements noun4 extended verb5 passively adverb6 contracting noun(gerund)7 eternal adjective8 boosting noun(gerund)9 normally adverb10 controversial adjectiveFurther information● The child is the father of the manChildren grow up to become adults and what happens in childhood is vitally important because adults develop on the basis of their childhood. Just as a child inherits genetics from their parents, the stage of early childhood for an individual is the social “inheritance” of each adult -----this is the basis for the development of the rest of their life (when the child becomes “the man”). Parents have children who grow up; however, children also grow up to become parents, who have children in their turn who also become parents …●Bad is never good until worse happens.When something bad happens it is difficult to see anything good about it .But when something even worse happens, what we thought was bad before doesn’t look so bad after all .Of course, what is “worse”may also seem not so bad when something worse still happens! Our perceptions of what are bad or good events are relative to their events.●Everything changes except change itself.Change is in everything .Only the law that everything changes does not change. On the other hand, if everything changes this should include change itself (the nature of particular changes should change or even the very nature of change itself.) If change changes then this must include no change which would be a change from changing .If change does not change, then there is something to which the law of change does not apply ----which means that not everything changes.●All rules have exceptions, including this one.A rule is general statement .It may include everything in its scope or it may have its exceptions .The problem here is that if the rule is that “all rules have exceptions ” ,then there are exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”: does this mean that the rule isn’t a rule or that the exception isn’t an exception or that the exception to the rule that “all rules have exceptions” means that there are no exceptions ,including the exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”…?● A sadist is a person who is kind to a masochist.A sadist is someone who gets pleasure from hurting or being cruel to someone else. A masochist is someone who gets pleasure from being hurt. We expect the sadist to be nasty to others, including being nasty to the masochist. But the sadist knows that the masochist wants to be hurt, so being kind to the masochist (who expects to be hurt by the sadist) is a way for the sadist to get pleasure. The problem now is that the sadist is getting pleasure by not hurting someone (which means that the sadist isn’t being a sadist .)A second problem is that the masochist may be getting pleasure by anticipating being hurt (which he enjoys and looks forward to )and may therefore be getting pleasure from the kindness of the sadist (who as the masochist knows ,wants to hurt the masochist )because he anticipates being hurt by not being hurt yet (which means that the masochist isn’t being a masochist ).● Nothing is enough for the person to whom enough is too little .Some people are greedy .They want more than others .they want more than the amount which would satisfy others (and be enough for them ). So for the greedy person “enough” (for others) is always too little (for the greedy one ). So there is never “enough ”and “nothing is enough ”for the greedy person; this means there is no “enough ”.But the problem is that it may also mean that if greedy person has “nothing”. It is “enough” (because “nothing is enough”), in which case the person is not greedy and is, in fact, satisfied with nothing (since he has “nothing” which is “enough”).● If the rich could hire other people to die for them, the poor couldmake a wonderful living.Everybody die at some time .Rich people may wish to keep on living because they have lots of money to enjoy their life .So if the rich people could pay poor people to die for them ,then the rich people could keep on living for longer and keep on enjoying their life. The poor would make a living (i.e., earn money to live )by dying instead of the rich .Of course ,paying one poor person to die instead of therich person who is dying would not be enough because death is always waiting (for everybody, rich or poor),so the rich would have to keep on paying more and more poor people to die for them -----otherwise they can only postpone death for a short time .So now ,many poor people die(paid for by the rich )but the others who are still living get rich (keeping the money which their dead poor relatives received from the rich ). But these new rich people (who were poor before) will die ----unless they pay poor people to die for them. If they do so, the poor relatives of those poor ones who die for the new rich will themselves eventually become rich and will need to pay other poor people to die for them if they wish to keep on living.Unit 5Understanding the text1.d)2.● Exercise● Diet● Self-discipline● Sleep3. a 8b 2c 7d 4e 9Developing your skillPart Ait(pronoun)this(pronoun)they(pronoun)such pensionable oldies(wordsubjection)Part B2. couple (ws: a man and a woman)3.

Therefore, vaccinations must have been developed in the 10th century.●False teeth were developed by unknown Etruscans(ancient Italians)This is obviously one of the two developments and they probably did this in 700 B.C. because the Etruscans were an ancient civilization.●Vaccinations were developed by a Chinese.The Chinese developed vaccinations in the 10th century and therefore the developer is one of the three unknowns.With your partner discuss:● ----Aspirin might be the most widely used because it is available inthe supermarket; it is inexpensive and is used in many common less serious medical conditions.-----Glasses are also very widely used .however, not all of population suffers from visual problems. Vaccinations are also widely used but require a specialist to administer them. What’s more, many vaccines only need administering once in a lifetime.-----The EEC would also be widely used in western countries where technology is readily available and heart disease more prevalent but it would be mainly used with older parties.-----False limbs might be the least frequently used as their application is very specific to amputees and those with congenital deformities .These days doctors try to avoid amputation if possible and birth defects are less frequent aswell .However, they are very important in those countries where there are wars , especially where there are landmines .● Perhaps vaccinations because they prevent simple disease frombecoming fatal epidemic. We tend to take them for granted.● Before the age of the printing press, there were fewer historicalrecords and literacy was not as common. Much information about ancientcivilizations still remains a mystery.●“necessity is the mother of invention.”The developers must have beenin critical need of the medical breakthroughs.

aheadstudents graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the “real world”. it is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. the areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness.learning how to obtain and use credit is probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. credit is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handled with caution. having credit can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them outright. but unfortunately, many, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. learning how to use credit properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed.of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. people have to know how to allocate their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the “oh, no! i’m flat broke and i don’t get paid again for two weeks!” anxiety syndrome.along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. the consumers market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices.a young person entering the “real world” is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. he is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living.for a newly graduated college student, the “real world” can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced such issues ashandling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. entering this “real world” could be made less painful if peop le were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. what better place to accomplish this than in college? (380 words;p9-p12)nb: bumpy 崎岖不平的,坑坑洼洼的1) according to the writer, graduating students __________. a. will find it hard to get a job with only knowledge gained from college b. have insufficient skills and knowledge and do not deserve a college diploma c. will not be able to earn enough money to support themselves d. do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with the realities of life2) the writer points out that many young people __________. a. fall into debt due to ill-advised use of credit cards b. have to depend on credit to purchase some material necessities c. do not know the power of credit any easily run into serious financial debt d. start buying too much on credit before they get a paid job3) students suffer from an anxiety syndrome because__________. a. they do not have their parents’ financial support b. they are worried that they don’t get paid on time c. they run out of money and can’t cover their living expenses d. they can’t afford to buy insurance for themselves4) to “train students as consumers” means to enable them to __________. a. handle their credit with caution b. plan their spending carefully so that they don’t go broke c. make wise purchasing decisions and be informed about consumer services d. cope with serious financial problemskey: 1—5: d a c c aunit 3text b-1 (reading time: 3.5 minutes)brave new world of biometricsthere are always people who can find a reason to criticize strongly any new technology as too personally invasive, buti’m a ll for biometrics. among the amazing things biometrics enables us to do is to scan a person’s iris—the colored part of the eye—which displays a natural pattern that is even more distinct than the fingerprint.imagine what that will do to cut down on credit card fraud if the pattern of a person’s iris must be scanned before the credit card can be used. imagine how foolproof it will make internet purchases, which are now extremely vulnerable to fraudulent abuse.biometrics’ ability to prevent theft against the government also is endless. when the state of connecticut required people to be fingerprinted in order to receive welfare benefits, 25 percent of the recipients dropped off the rolls (many of whom, we have to assume, were receiving benefits improperly).biometrics also give law-enforcement officers terrific new powers to track and capture international terrorists. imagine what miniature face scans embedded secretly in passports will do to passport fraud, and the ability of terrorists to flee from one country to the next.does this mean the government and corporations will have more “personal information”about you on file? sure, to the extent that you consider your face or your iris to be personal “information”. but all the hubbub about “invasion of privacy” is vastly overblown.ever since the invention of telemarketing and the ceaseless parade of phone calls bombarding my home day and night began, i’ve considered my privacy to be a thing of the past. but in the scheme of things, it is a minor inconvenience, not a major assault.of course, if biometrics is too much for some people, they always can cut up their credit cards, disconnect their phones and computers and move to the rockies and live alone away from people and society. meanwhile, i’ll continu e to enjoy all the benefits modern technology offers.

(p91-p94; 431 words)1) who is now writing the peanuts comic strip? a. mike luckovich of the atlantajournal-constitution. b. no one; it is appearing only as returns.c. paige braddock of schulz creative associates.d. gayelebaron of the santa rosa press democrat.2) how did editorial cartoonist mike luckovich describecharles schu lz’s comic strip? a. it wassad and anxious. b. it was always mean. c. it was unpopular.d. it was gentle and sweet.3) why was schulz’s comic strip so popular? a. becausepeople grew up reading charlie brownand the peanuts gang. b. because people liked the animated characters of the peanuts television specials. c. becausepeople had the same ideas, experiences and attitudes towards the world at large as charlie brown. d. because he turned his form of cartoon drawing intoan elegant art that people enjoy.4) the reason why the e-commerce fashion worker, pat, likedthe peanuts television programwas that __________. a. she felt sorry for the characters in it b. she could identify with the characters in it c. she enjoyed watching the adventures of the characters in it d. she sharedin the experience of the characters in it5) according to the article, what is cartooning’s highest award?a. the academy award.b.the reuben award. c. the grammy award. d. the santa rosa award.key: 1—5: b d c a b备注:个别篇章在期中考试试卷纸中出现过,但愿也会在期末考试试卷中出现。
