They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.During the summer, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, wekept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a wasp, except that it looked more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.It was still a young wasp when we got it and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was female, we decided to call it Miriam.One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and in leaving the room I tripped over a line of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses ofall the larvae worth knowing in North American. The cards went everywhere.I was too tired to stop to pick them that night. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards.―Maybe Miriam will pick them up‖, I said half laughingly to myself, neverthinking for one moment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Miriam was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on thefloor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them thenight before. The faithful little insect had bussed about all nighttrying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing on larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, she would probably make more of a mess of rearranging them than if she hadleft them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, whereshe cried herself to sleep.1. Professor Bouvier most probably agrees that __________.A. insects‘ reasoning power has nothing to do with intelligenceB. wasps can only behave in an instinctive mannerC. wasps are different from other winged creaturesD. the issue of insects‘ intelligence need further research2. The author took the wasp Miriam to the cottage because __________.A. Miriam was treated like a childB. Miriam was the pet of the familyC. the author was studying insects for his doctoral thesisD. the author wanted to prove that insects have intelligence3. When the card index scattered on the floor, the author __________.A. decided to pick them up the next morningB. believed Miriam would pick them upC. didn‘t understand why Miriam flew about over the cardsD. found it ridiculous that Miriam would pick them up4. By saying ―And well she might have been‖ (Sen. 2, Para. 6), the author thinks that Miriam was __________.A. exhaustedB. intelligentC. energeticD. depressed35. Which of the following statement was based on facts rather thanon the author‘s pure thinking?A. Miriam cried herself to sleep.B. Miriam had bussed about all night.C. Miriam could only tell wasp larvae.D. Miriam had left the cards on the floor.Careful Reading – Passage 2The 35-year-old Beijing woman is watching an ad showing a giant television made by the Chinese companyHaier. A stream of introduction for the television floats in and outof view, including one about receivingelectronic mail over the tube. A surfer rides the waves between skyscrapers, his wash leaving an ―@‖ in thewater. The ad is ―too direct‖, she tells an interviewer. ―Ther e is this guy talking, telling me all about the product, showing me some images. We get it –but we don‘t like it.‖Since a Shanghai television station aired China‘s first TVcommercial in 1979, most have been the plain, straightforward, tell-the-name-of-the-product-and-what-it-does kind. Those started disappearing the U.S. in thelate 1960s in favor of more subtle pitches using irony and humor. Now a study says Chinese commercials don‘t have to talk down to consumers anymore either – at least the one-th ird of them living in China‘s prosperous cities,and who most interest advertisers.Even the Western agencies that win awards elsewhere for hip, inventive commercials usually keep it simple inChina. After all this country only began flirting with capitalism 20 years ago and is fairly new to advertising.And to consumer culture, too. China is still a developing nation where an income of just $2,0000 a year qualifies an urban household as middle-class. On the other hand, city people who once aspired to own the ―big three‖ – atelevision, refrigerator and washing machine – have already moved up to DVD players and mobile phones. And with a population of 1.3billion, the world‘s largest, China is a huge market. That is why the world‘s largestcompanies, from Coca-Cola to Procter $ Gamble, are battling it out in China. Advertisers spent more than $500million dollars through the first half of the year, estimates market researcher, making China the largest advertising market in Asia after Japan.The prevailing view of many of those advertisers and their agencies is that the Chinese don‘t yet get clever orsubtle advertising and they prefer a straightforward ad withlots of information. But the April survey of almost500 people in five China‘s largest cities discovered ―a savvy urban population, tired of a diet of ?boring‘ ads and hungry to be treated as the sophisticated decision-makers they are.‖ In short, the Chinese appreciation of what makes a good ad is no different from their counterparts anywhere else in the world.1. The 35-year-old woman was dissatisfied with the Haire TV because __________.A. there is too much misleading information about itB. its function is too similar to that of a computerC. its advertisement was too difficult to understandD. it has been advertised in a simple-minded way2. By saying that ―Chinese commercials don‘t have to talk down to consumers‖, the author suggests that__________.A. the plain and straight-forward way of advertising should be abolishedB. it is not necessary to take up irony and humor in advertisementC. advertisers are more interested in how to attract the high-class citizensD. those disappearing in the U.S. may be just appropriate in China 3. What can we learn about the consumer culture in China?A. It is not as complicated as that outside China.B. It has not been fully understood yet.C. Its influence on advertising is still limited.D. It is one of the most important products of capitalism4. The author will agree that China‘s middle-class households__________.A. are interested in inventive ads instead of simple onesB. earn less than the overseas middle-class householdsC. contribute most to China‘s consumer marketD. no longer aspired to own the ―the big three‖5. The passage mainly intends to discuss __________.A. the most effective ways of advertising in ChinaB. the development of advertising styles in ChinaC. consumers‘ view on the ads in ChinaD. a misconception on the ads in China4Careful Reading – Passage 3The HMS Ontario is one of the most famous shipwrecks and was discovered by two Rochester engineers Jim Kennard, 64, who has spent more than half his life pursuing The HMS Ontario, along with Dan Scoville, 35, a shipwreck diver. They discovered The HMS Ontario deepoff the southern shore of Lake Ontario when side-scanning sonar system that Mr. Kennard, a retired Kodak engineer, designed and built himself, showed a picture of something deep in Lake Ontario. The location of the shipwreck had been unknown for 228 years.Experienced ship wreck divers Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville have discovered seven of Lake Ontario‘s estimated 500 shipwrecks in the last six years alone. Jim Kennard also designed a microwave-sized remote submersible that they deployed to go down and take the shipwreck‘s video. The shipwreck is quit e deep in LakeOntario, so the remote machine with video was very useful.―Right away we saw the quarter gallery, the windows in thestern, the cannons,‖ said Jim Kennard. ―There was no mistaking. That‘s when we started getting excited.‖ The discovery of t he ship wreck was confirmed by The HMS Ontario expert Canadian Arthur Britton Smith, who authored the definitive book on the HMS Ontario.The loss of the HMS Ontario, is one of the worst-ever disasters recorded on Lake Ontario. In her time The HMS Ontario was the most-feared ship on the Great Lakes. It was 1780 and the Yankees werethreatening to storm across Lake Ontario and seize Montreal from the British. But the intimidating 226-ton Ontario –22 cannons, two 80-foot masts, a beamy hull with cargo space for 1000 barrels, was intimidating. On Oct. 31, 1780, she sailed into a storm with around 120 passengers on board and was never seen again. The British tried to keep the news of the ship wreck hush hush.The HMS Ontario appears to be in perfect shape and The HMS Ontariohas aged remarkably well though zebra mussels cover much of the woodwork. Leaning on a 45-degree angle, her masts still jut straight up from her decks where several guns lie upside-down and a brass bell, brass cleats and the stern lantern are perfectly visible. The Seven windows acrossher stern still have glass. Shipwrecks in cold freshwater are well preserved, that is why great lakes shipwrecks are prized. At 500 feet deep, where the HMS Ontario lies, there is no light and no oxygen to speed up the decomposition, and little marine life to feed on the wood.There was no evidence of the roughly 113 Canadian men, women,children and American prisoners who went down with the ship - the passengers – mostly Canadian soldiers from the 34th regiment – were never found.Nobody knows for sure how many passengers perished on the Ontario;the British kept their prisoner counts secret.Out of worries over looting, Mr. Jim Kennard and Mr. Dan Scovilleare not revealing The HMS Ontario‘s location. The v essel sits in water up to 500 feet deep and cannot be reached by anyone other thanexperienced divers. It is not believed to have any shipwreck treasure on it as was reported other than a few shipwreck coins that belonged to the passengers.Kennard said he and his partner have gathered enough ship wreckvideo of the ship that it will not be necessary to return to the site. He added that they hope to make a documentary about the discovery with the video of the shipwreck.The Great Lakes host many shipwreck locations and there are an estimated 4,700 shipwrecks in total, of which 500 are in Lake Ontario. Freshwater shipwrecks are famous for their preservation of the vessels and make popular diving spots.1. The two discoverers of the HMS Ontario saw its video __________.A. with the help of a scanning sonar systemB. with the help of a remote submersibleC. on an Ontario TV channelD. on a DVD about history2. The HMS Ontario was most probably a __________.A. cruise linerB. fishing boatC. war shipD. cargo ship3. Great Lakes shipwrecks are highly valued because __________.A. they are well protected against decompositionB. they need to be explored with high technologyC. they are of great use to the research of historyD. they have much well-preserved treasure on board4. What is Not true about the HMS Ontario?A. No trace of human being has been found in the shipwreck.B. The passengers were evacuated before the ship sank.5C. The ship used to belong to the British Navy.D. There was not much treasure on the ship.5. What will Jim and Dan do with the HMS Ontario shipwreck?A. They will take it to the surface when they get more financial fund.B. They will make it a popular diving spot.C. They will reveal the location of the ship when the video is released.D. They will leave the shipwreck where it is.6. Which paragraph is Not about the finding of Jim and Dan?A. Paragraph 3.B. Paragraph 4.C. Paragraph 5.D. Paragraph 6.Careful Reading – Passage 4Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887), a van Gogh self-portraitdonein Paris, is one of his most intriguing yet most neglected works. The artist‘s gloomy eyes stare out from his face in half-profile, facing tothe left, and the world-weary expression initially appears to support the view of critics such as James Risser, who explains van Gogh‘s self-portraits as a sustained search for identity.Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887) initially appears to comply with Risser‘s eva luation. In this work, thepainter depicted himself wearing a jumper of intense blue before a background done almost entirely in gray but with noticeable blurs of blue—most notably in the top right corner. Overall the painting appears to be unfinished, a hastily done portrait that the painter abandoned to create more lasting works.In its incom plete state we can precisely read ―an unfinished life,‖ and in the wild strokes of casual blue in thebackground and splashed across the artist‘s garments we arei nstantly confronted with the sense of growing ―more and more out of control.‖But is this an accurate evaluation? On the one hand, Risser seems to have legitimate cause for envisioning van Gogh‘s self-portrait as psychological self-analysis, a painting th at ―reveals an emotional intensity hiding beneath the surface‖. But is the chaotic surfaceeffect of the blue in this painting actually a form of self-criticism, theartist‘s own intense and emotional despair over his loss of control—or is it representative of an underlyingaesthetic whose focus is not the painter himself? Anintriguing alternative exists: van Gogh may not have painted the self-portraits as psychoanalytical evaluations of himself, but instead merely as experiments in technique. The artist often stated that he painted himself only because he lacked other models, a view found in thecritical work of both Richard Kendall and T.J. Shackelford. Perhaps, then, van Gogh was not trying to learn about himself but about art as a whole while painting these portraits and hence we ought to read theself-portraits as a series of statements about art itself. The key to this analysis may be a careful exploration of the special color symbolism van Gogh attached to the color blue. Unlike our everyday association of blue with melancholy or boredom, the artist imagined blue as a symbol for the infinite or the limitless. Such a view calls into question the idea that self-portraits such as van Gogh‘s Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887) were a psychological profil e of the artist‘s melancholy or despair. Instead, when we consider blue‘s special symbolic r ole as the infinite in van Gogh‘s Paris self-portraits, we discover a new narrative describing the painter‘s own aesthetic: his insistence that the future of art lay in expressive rather thanrealistic methods.1. What does James Risser think of van Gogh‘s self-portraits?A. Different self-portraits represent van Gogh‘s different attitude towards life.B. Many of his self-portraits have been neglected by critics.。

大学英语泛读期末考试试题及答案1 ( 1 )(1 )George's case is not unique. In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life. Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them. A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided. Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them. Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition. A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable. She had two children and no savings; but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind. Her health improved. She may never work again; if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them. An office employee who has been pushing papers (has been doing paperwork) for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything. An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual. Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees. An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古学）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites. His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation. They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure. No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules. This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness; many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring. But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living). The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the "dropouts"（退出世俗社会的人）are not wealthy. And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job) now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude. In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life. Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred. And there was yet another factor. Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（补偿）from the government for a while. But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find. In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession. Losing it was a disaster; not looking for another one, a shame. As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then. A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to. But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work. Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie. But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those "shameless" people who choose to live in unearned idleness （懒惰）have a good conscience too.1. In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosento drop out of the working world because _____.A. they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their livesB. they are not well paid at workC. they want to live a more leisurely lifeD. all of them have work that is too demanding2. After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A. relieved and peaceful, though worried about her securityB. bored, without friends and companionsC. that she needed another jobD. the pressures and burdens of life3. According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A. often worry about their workB. work without any complaintsC. find it very easy to do their jobsD. don't mind being controlled by others4. According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A. reaching a higher position in societyB. enjoying full freedom and independenceC. working hard and having a good relationship with his communityD. earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities5. Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue?A. To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B. Happiness can be obtained only through hard work.C. Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D. Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.( 2 )When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1. The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A. what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeB. they are not well educatedC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school2. In the last line of the first paragraph, the word "arise" means _____.A. bring aboutB. come into beingC. occur toD. cause to happen3. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is _____.A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you admire and make friends with himC. to find a person you respect and watch carefully how he acts in different situationsD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire4. In the last line of the second paragraph, the word "approach" means_____.A. means of enteringB. speaking to someone for the first timeC. way of coming nearer toD. manner of doing something5. The passage could be best entitled _____.A. "Learn from a Model"B. "Learn, Learn and Learn Again"C. "Learn Forever"D. "One Is Never Too Old to Learn"01级泛读期末试题(B 卷)1、fill in the brackets with the words given below the passage.Kenneth and Isabel were both South African –born . They got married in London .

This shows that the law in South Africa forbids a (10) between the white and the coloured .(3 )The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye." The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1. The first window was a _____.A. large hole in the wallB. hole covered with canvasC. slit in the wallD. slit with a piece of paper over it2. The word window meant _____.A. opening to look throughB. light givenC. windD. wind's eye3. The window got its name because it _____.A. kept out the windB. blew out the smokeC. let in more wind than lightD. let in mostly light4. In the ancient castles, smoke went out through _____.A. the windowsB. the doorsC. the chimneyD. a hole in the roof5. It seems true that the larger, canvas-covered windows _____.A. were not as good as the first windowsB. let in more light and kept out more windC. did not let any air inD. were as good as today's windows( 3 )It was once believed that a person was in great danger when he sneezed-people imagined that the soul could escape from the body at the moment of sneezing. "God bless you" was a prayer for assistance in keeping the soul where it belonged.The German word Gesundheit (good health) is a variation of this prayer; the Irish deiseal and the Italian felicita are similar prayers. The Hindus say a word that means "live," and when a Mohammedan sneezes, he praises God.The Zulus of South Africa, far from being afraid of sneezes, believe that a sneeze signifies a friendly spirit's blessing. Whenever a child sneezes, they shout "Grow!" hoping the friendly spirit that stimulated the sneeze will help the child grow tall and strong. The ancient Hebrews also believed that a sneeze was good-a sneeze indicates life; the dead never sneeze.The Japanese say that if you sneeze once, someone is saying good things about you; if you sneeze twice, bad things are being said about you; if you sneeze three times, you have caught a cold.1. People once thought that anyone who sneezed was _____.A. sickB. in dangerC. in good healthD. evil2. "God bless you" was said in order to _____.A. make children grow tall and strongB. insure good healthC. keep the soul in the bodyD. prevent someone from saying evil things about the sneezer3. Gesundheit is a sneezing prayer most like _____.A. the Zulu prayerB. "God bless you"C. the Japanese prayerD. a warning4. The Zulus believe that sneezing is caused by _____.A. a good spiritB. a bad spiritC. illnessD. children5. It would be reasonable to conclude that _____.A. many people say prayers when they sneezeB. a prayer keeps the soul where it belongsC. all peoples were afraid of sneezesD. the moment of sneezing is very dangerousGiven words:[A ] for [B] question [C] colored [D] returning [E] officals [F] arrived [G] marriage [H] lived[I] allow [J] back2、Choose the best answer to each question。
