Unit-1 College life: Challenges and opportunities一、Reading课文&翻译Some thoughts from a professor1 As both a college professor and parent of a college student, this time of year always seems to raise a variety of thoughts as freshly minted high school graduates head off to their new adventures. In a couple of weeks, green first-year students will be wandering around campuses everywhere, looking young and confused.作为一名大学教授和一名大学生的家长，每年的这个时候，当刚毕业的高中毕业生开始他们的新冒险时，各种各样的想法似乎总是会出现。

再过几个星期，绿色的新生们就会在校园里到处游荡，看起来年轻而迷茫。

2 "Where do I find Burdine Hall?" asks the first year looking impossibly young.“我在哪里可以找到伯丁会堂?”一个看上去年轻得不可思议的新生问道。

3 "It's that building right behind you," I answer with a smile, knowing that I will have this conversation several times over the next few days.“就是你身后的那座大楼，”我微笑着回答，因为我知道在接下来的几天里我会有好几次这样的对话。

大学英语三级B级分类模拟题专项技能提高篇(-)Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location, are increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras . Once you get to the airport, it's up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing—you name it—it's all arranged for you.In fact, there is no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves . You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling. Of course, there are carefully arranged stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities, with a polite reminder to be up and have breakfast early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, and you may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added benefit. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by.1> When you go on a package holiday .A.there are not many additional chargesB.there is no charge for extrasC.flight times are arranged by the tour operatorD.your safe arrival is ensured2、On a coach tour it is often exhausting, because you .A.are so highly organizedB.are constantly on the moveC.don't like the other people on the tourD.don't get enough sleep3、The kind of people who go on these holidays .A.are too lazy to amuse themselvesB.expect the tour operator to amuse themC.find most of their needs suppliedD.have no contact with the local people4、For some people, traveling in an organized group .A.provides a sense of securityB.is their only opportunityC.is the only way they can get aboutD.helps them to understand themselves better5、All are added disadvantages except that .A.you know all the travelersB.you dislike the travelersC.you meet people you've never metD.you can't get away from those peopleThe fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise. Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities . However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts . These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits . In recent years, however, weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well.12、According tolife for a achild is ifmuch isA.B.C.D.the second paragraph, the writer thinks thatchild is comparatively easy always lovedwhatever he does given to a child, heonly children are interested inAfter a child grows up, heA.B.C.D.will havehas to becan stillshould bemust do something in returnlifelittle time playingsuccessful in finding ask forhelp in time of trouble able totake care of himselfa jobHistorically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures ofmuscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components have been related to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well.

Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and happiest person is one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents z he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has a good health, he can have the great happiness of building up forhimself his own position in society.13、Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.People are often satisfied with their life.B.Life is less interesting for old people.C.Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D.Adults should no longer rely on others.14、The main idea of the passage is .A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC.childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's lifeD.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life15、The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss .A.examples of successful young menB.how to build up one's position in societyC.j oys and pains of old peopleD.what to do when one has problems in lifeVisitors exploring one of Britain's many historic buildings might expect to see beautiful obj ects and learn more about history. What they won' t expect is to meet one of the former residents, and to be able to talk to them about their life and times . But, don' t worry. Although many old buildings are said to be frequently visited by ghosts （幽灵）,these people are not ghosts at all.All across Britain historic sites will be brought to life by real people. They will be dressed in period costumes （clothes wore in an earlier time in history）and will recreate life as it was once lived at different times during Britain's history. Activities like these are called "living history"z and have become increasingly popular in recent years.An organization named English Heritage, which maintains historic buildings and sites across England, will organize over 500 living history events, ranging from reenactment （再次展现）of battles to traditional story-telling for children.The people who dress up in costumes and take part in these events come from all kinds of background. Some are trained actors, while others do it as a hobby. What they all have in common, however, is that they don' t simply "act". Instead, they learn about every aspect of period they are bringing to life—everything from the way people behaved to the way they spoke.16、What may a visitor expect to see in a "living history" activity?A.Historic events brought to life .

Exploring Historic SitesB. Tour in Britain TodayC. Experiencing HistoryD. 500 Living History EventsRainfall is one of the primary elements in climate and a factor of tremendous importance in the distribution of plant and animal life. Clouds contain huge numbers of tiny drops of moisture. Raindrops are formed when these tiny drops are enlarged, first by moisture from the surrounding air condensing on them and then by combining with other drops during their falling down. Raindrops vary in size from about 0.02 inches to as much as 0.33 inches in thunderstorms . From the time they leave the bottom of the cloud, they change into vapor and, if the cloud is high, the air warm and dry, and theraindrops small, so that they fall slowly, they may become vapor completely before they reach the earth.There are thousands of stations throughout the world where rainfall observations and records are made. Included in such records is the fall of snow, reduced to its equivalent in rain. Rainfall is measured in terms of （按照）inches z by means of a simple instrument or by more complex electricalor weighing devices placed where eddies （逆流）do not get in the way of the normal fail of the raindrops. In addition to the daily, monthly, and annual totals, the depth of individual rainfalls and their intensity and other related facts are recorded.21> Raindrops become the largest when .A. they leave the cloudB. they fall slowlyC. there is a thunderstormD. there is warm air22、It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that .A.raindrops vary in size with the air conditionsB.raindrops fall slowly in cool airC.rainfall differs in quantity from place to placeD.rainfall differs in quantity from year to year23> The word "equivalent" in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to .A.reasonable amount C. similar amountB.limited amount D. corresponding amount24、What is NOT included in rainfall records?A.other related facts C. the depth of rainfallB.the size of rainfall D. the intensity of rainfall25、This passage is mainly related to .A. rainfallB. raindropsC. thunderstormD. climate答案:1> A 2、B 3、D 4、A 5、A 6、 B 7、8、C 9、B 10、D 11> A 12、D 13、A 14、D 15、B 16、A 17、C 18、D 19、C 20、C 21、C 22、A 23、D 24、B 25、A。
