She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said his fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn't possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fees she could pay?So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years; her little-girl dream of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn't a word of self-pity－only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn't wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud:Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.Signed :Michael DeBakey (1)、Aunt Edith stopped working as a secretary when she knew she had a very serious heart disease.A：TB：F答案：B(2)、From the story we can see Aunt Edith accepted defeat easily.A：TB：F答案：B(3)、In Aunt Edith's letter to the doctor, she showed she was warm, humorous and enjoying living. A：TB：F答案：A(4)、When Aunt Edith mailed her letter, she didn't expect the doctor would give her a reply.A：TB：F答案：A(5)、Michael DeBakey mainly told Aunt Edith in the letter that her disease was so serious that he couldn't cure her.A：TB：F答案：B2、The mass media influences all aspects of our lives, including the learning of gender roles. Newspapers and magazines, television, and film all have an influence on how we view the roles of women and men and on how we think they should behave.Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learn the basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this. However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing household chores.Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passive girlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different. Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.1. The best title for this passage is _________________.A. Gender Roles in the MediaB. Influence of Mass Media in Our LivesC. Different Types of MediaD Women’s Magazines and Televisions答案：A2. What makes Ms. different from other women’s magazines?A. Ms. offers women tips of caring for their families.B. Ms. treats women as adults who need to learn about being a mother.C. Ms. is interested in a wider range of women’s role.D. Ms. is the type of women’s magazines that dominates now.答案：C3. It can be inferred that ____________ might be a new type of women image on the television commercials.A. young beautiful women dressed in sexy clothesB. happy mothers doing the household choresC. guilty wives who don’t use the right soapD. career women who enjoys her career success答案：D4. From the context we know “to stereotype women”(Line 1, Paragraph 4) refers to ______________.A. to tag on women some fixed roles and imagesB. to portray women in some different waysC. to depict women as successful and able to support themselvesD. to portray women as successful professionals答案：A5. Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with in terms of the media’s attitude towards women?A. The mass media always presents to us a variety of women images as they are in daily life.B. The mass media focuses women’s roles in life as a mother more than as a professional.C. The way mass media define women has changed as time goes by.D. The limited images of women mass media presented to the audience through mass mediahave influenced the way the audience think and behave.答案：A3、After retiring from 30 years of teaching, Ethell Pepper could easily have decided to sit back and relax and enjoy a peaceful retirement. But that kind of life is not for Ethell Pepper. "I just wanted to do something different. If you are going to participate in life, do it. Don't just sit down and look out of the window." She says. At 68, she decided to become one of the pioneer participants in a program at the University of California. The program offers campus housing and classes to people over sixty. She enrolled in a class called Human Relationships and a Diverse Society. "I taught my minority students in my English and drama classes in high school for 20 years. But in this course, I found out a lot about other cultures that I didn't know then. One of the more important lessons that I'm learning is to perceive, not to judge." Older adults can add to the educational resources of university by bringing with them a lot of valuable experience. Their presence on campus helps break some long believes on aging. Young students may have fears of growing older. But that kind of fear can be reduced as they see that older people can be active, healthy, and continue to contribute to society. The younger students can begin to see aging as a natural part of living.(1)、Ethell entered university when she was 68.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、Ethell has been teaching minority students for 20 years.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、Ethell enjoyed staying with young people.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、Elderly people bring a great deal of useful experience to the university.A：TB：F答案：A(5)、Ethell is learning how to teach minority students.A：TB：F答案：B4、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shynessgoes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1)、What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para.1)__________A：Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B：People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C：It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments.D：Shy people think they are different from others.答案：B(2)、According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A：a good qualityB：the cause of unhappinessC：harmful to peopleD：a weak point of shy people答案：A(3)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A：goodB：unrealC：very reasonableD：harmful答案：B(4)、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________A：Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB：Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC：Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD：Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem答案：C(5)、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A：should find more of their weaknessB：should understand themselves in the right wayC：had better ignore their weaknessD：can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem答案：B三、词汇与语法（每题2分，共20分）1、Never get off the bus ______it has stopped.A：ifB：as soon asC：untilD：or答案：C2、The company is going through a ________ time at the moment.A. roughB. tightC. toughD. strong答案：C3、Three-fourths of the homework ______today.A：has finishedB：has been finishedC：have finishedD：have been finished答案：B4、She has two best friends. ____________ of them is in the country.A.

It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There is neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/N Y as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OFT (=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or joining the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got t o go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals.（4.0 分）6.

When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people whowant to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere. In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not endorse them. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would be no private businesses.Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping yo ur name before the public”, and some people thought that advertising was “truth well told”. Now, more and more people perceive it in this way: advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by some certain sponsors through various media.First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it asks people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsors of the advertisement must show their names. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and modem mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Modern media include emails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.Comprehension Questions:Choose the best answer for the following questions.1. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends on the support of_____.所选答案： C. advertisers2. According to the passage, different definitions of advertising are given due to_______.所选答案： A. the change of time3.

We know from the context “sponsor” means _______________.所选答案： B. the one who pays for media in return for advertising5. The last paragraph is mainly about ____________________.所选答案： B. features of advertisingPassage 2America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or he alth. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. I t doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing.Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.6. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _________.所选答案：C. has changed people’s understandingof age7.

It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There is neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/N Y as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OFT (=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or joining the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got t o go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals.（4.0 分）6.

Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds."Why are you sad?" asked the ant."I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "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 haven't finished 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.(1)、The ant was playing when it ran here and there.所选答案：错问题12得2 分，满分2 分(2)、The drop of water fell on the ant when it was nearly dying.所选答案：对问题13得2 分，满分2 分(3)、The young girl was crying because she wanted to have supper.所选答案：错问题14得2 分，满分2 分(4)、The giant would eat the girl if she failed to do the work.所选答案：对问题15得0 分，满分2 分(5)、The ant's friends saved the girl's life.所选答案：错问题16得2 分，满分2 分Passage 2、The mass media influences all aspects of our lives, including the learning of gender roles.Newspapers and magazines, television, and film all have an influence on how we view the rolesof women and men and on how we think they should behave.Fou r decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learn the basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this. However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing household chores.Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passive girlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different. Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.6. The best title for this passage is _________________.所选答案： A. Gender Roles in the Media问题17得0 分，满分2 分7. What makes Ms. different from other women’s magazines?所选答案： A. Ms. offers women tips of caring for their families.问题18得2 分，满分2 分8.

Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with in terms ofthe media’s attitude towards women?所选答案：A. The mass media always presents to us a variety of womenimages as they are in daily life.问题21得2 分，满分2 分Passage 3Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles andaunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life,families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move offthe land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless andconsists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as theirchief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those familiesfree to move from job to job.11、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.所选答案：对问题22得2 分，满分2 分12、Families of the past, the present and the future are described in the passage.所选答案：对问题23得2 分，满分2 分13、People no longer want to have children.所选答案：错问题24得2 分，满分2 分14、Grandparents will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future.所选答案：错问题25得2 分，满分2 分15、Large families cannot fit in with a highly industrialized society.所选答案：对问题26得2 分，满分2 分Passage 4、When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people areusing. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one ofAmerica's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young marriedcouples — people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city toanother. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do notwant to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they haveenough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better qualityfurniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually peopledon't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and theyare not sure what their neighbors might think.16.

第2次作业一、阅读理解（本大题共100分，共5小题，每小题20分） 1.Prehistoric men and women enjoyed a more varied diet than people do now, since they ate species of plant and several hundreds thousands types of living things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever domesticated. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The food of the rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is speedily distributed in supermarkets. But the choice annually becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves become more standardized. We live in theworld of carrot specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of weighting tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis asks: "Only the three major cereals (谷物类食物)and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species stand between famine and survival for the world" s human population and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: Are we missing something?” After all, there are 800 000 species of plant on earth.(1). Tn prehistoric times people.A.ate much more than we do todayB.lived mainly on plant foodC.had a wide-ranging dietD.were more fussy about what they ate(2).Most of us have come to expectA.no variation in our dietB. a reduction in food suppliesC. a specialist dietD.food conforming to a set standard(3). The specialization of food was started byA .B . the emergence of supermarkets the rise of agriculture the rich countries the modern shops （4）.According to the passage, people in the West today survive on.A.carrots and tomatoesB.several thousand types of plants and cerealsc.a very small number of cultivated foodsD. special species planted one thousand years ago（5）. The conclusion seems to be that we.A.could make use of more natural speciesB.don't cultivate the right kind of foodc.produce more food than we needD.cultivate too many different species2.human body is distributed （分布）in two different ways. Some fat people have a large chest and no waistline（腰身），looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking more like pears.Doctors in Cambridge, England have been examining the relationship between health and fat （脂肪）distribution. They find that the pear- shaped fat people have fewer problems than the apple-shaped fat people. What seems to be most important is not how much fat you have but where you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped women and peai，--shaped women with X-ray scanners （X 光扫描器）.Human beingshave two types of fat:one is outside fat, that is the fat below the skin, and the other is inside fat that lies inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the “apples” have a large amoun t of inside fat.Tf this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it wi11 probably cause heal th problems such as obesi ty (月巴月半症). The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment (饮食疗法)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.(1).According to the relation between heal th and fatnessA.apple-shaped fat people have fewer problems than pear-shaped peopleB.it' s better to be apple-shaped than to be pear-shapedc.it' s better to be pear-shaped than to be apple-shapedD. fatness is the most dangerous enemy to health(2). The most important thing about fat people seems to beA.the amount of fat they haveB.the knowledge of which typo of the fat people they belong toC.the amount of the outside fat they haveD.the place where they have the fat(3).The basic reason why some people suffer from obesity is that •A.they take very little exercise every dayB.they have much more inside fat than is neededc.they are examined by X-ray scanners quite oftenD.they eat too much(4).According to what is mentioned in the passage, the best treatment for obesity at present is .A.to reduce the amount of food and drinksB.to make the body shape smallerC.already known to those people in troubleD.still to be found.3.University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food."Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and thendon't real ize that waste of edible （可食用的）foods adds up much moreat homo," said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who metin Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a costof $4. 5 billion per year. That" s almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.Ilis theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if you" re trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, that's bound to be some waste.Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper income families. And the study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart, is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items arc more likely to be wasted.The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least. Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.(1).Large quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker.A.thinks they are not deliciousB.says they taste bitter and hotC.thinks they smell badD.suspects they are spoiled when they are not(2).American families throw out between of edible food every year.A.5%〜8%B.8%-10%B.20%〜28%D.8%—20%(3).When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar.A.went downB.went upc.stayed the sameD. was cut in half(4).Which of the following statements is true?A.American housewives are not good homemakers.B.Upper-income families are more wasteful than lower-income ones.c.American families throw away almost as much food as they consume.D.Americans waste a great deal of dog food.（5）.When do American families waste more food?A.When prices arc high.B.When food is scarce.c.When they think it is spoiled.D. Al 1 of the above.4.Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor （接任者）to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvards Radcliffe Institutefor Advanced Study, as the university' s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard. ” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. "Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated （献身的）teacher, and a wonderful human being."Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers' comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women" s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues（性另ij问题）.Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, 1aw, literature and economics.Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.“Teaching staff turned to her constantly. ” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. "She' s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she' s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she' s so solid."(1).Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?A.She is the 28th president of Harvard University.B.She is a famous scholar from the American South.c.She isn' t a graduate from Harvard University.D.She was head of Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.(2).Lawrence Summers held the view that .A.women cannot achieve as much as men in management B.women cannot hold important positions in society c.women can match men in science jobsD.few women make top scientists owing to genes (3).Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Harvard named its 1st female president.B.History of Harvard University changed.c.Debates on female equality ended.D.Drew GiIpin Faust, a famous woman historian.（4）.This passage probably appears in a .A.biographyB.personal letterc.research paperD.newspaper report5.Jessica Alba rebelled（叛离）from her "strict" parents when she was just five. The 29-year-old actress admits her Catholic （天主教）education made her want to "break away" from her mother Catherine and father Mark.She explained: 〃It‘s always been weird（古怪的）because I grew up in a very traditional, Catholic household. Nly parents were very strict but 1 broke away from that at an early age. 1 was a feminist （女权主义者）when 1 was five. These days, 1 am much more independent but 1 still respect their beliefs.，zAs Jessica has grown older she has learnt to accept her parents' views, but still considers herself an independent woman.Tn her latest film 'Machete' Jessica gets to stab（刺）a love rival in the eye with her stiletto heels （鞋后世艮），something she thoroughlyenjoyed.She said: "Walking in 3in heels wasn't as much fun as putting one in someone's eye. It was 104 degrees where we were shooting in Texas and they were not comfortable.Jessica - who has a two-year-old daughter Honor with husband Cash Warren - is regularly referred to as one of the world，s most beautiful women, but she docsn't think of herself as 〃sexy〃.She added in an interview with the Metro newspaper: 〃1 don't really pay attention to that sexy image. It just goes with the character in the movie. At the end of the day, it's all a part of selling a product. 〃(1).Jessica Alba called herself feminist because .A.she didn' t like living with her parentsB.she was brought up in a very poor familyc.she was often against her parentsD.she refused the training and education during her childhood by her parents(2).From this passage we know that .A.Jessica is a very cruel woman who enjoys hurting others B.Jessica acted strangely in her chi 1drenc.Jessica" s parents believe in CatholicD.Jessica rebelled her family because she hated Catholic (3).This passage is mainly about .A.a rebellious movie star JessicaB.a weird womanc.an interview with a newspaperD.a rebellious heart(4).Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A.Although she is a rebellious woman, she still respects her parents beliefsB.She likes her characters in the moviec.She cares more about her sexy image because she is very proud of her beautyD.She got married and has a daughter.答案：一、阅读理解（100分，共5题，每小题20分）(1).

对别人赠送的礼物，不论轻重，都要表示感谢，这是礼貌。

应答时，中国人往往采取一种谦逊的态度；而英美人却以迎合的态度来表达自己的心情。

所以，I‘m glad you like it. 是正确答案。

2. –It‘s been a wonderful evening. Thank you very much.–__________________[本题2分](A) My pleasure.(B) I‘m glad to hear that.(C) No, thanks.(D) It‘s ok.你选择的答案： [前面作业中已经做正确] [正确]正确答案：A解答参考：[第二单元]A 此题第一说话人说―晚会很棒，非常感谢。

‖，通常在这种情况下，听话人应该礼貌地表示感谢，可用My pleasure, 意为―你这么说，我很荣幸。

‖而It doesn‘t matter. 通常用于应答别人的道歉，表示―没关系‖；It‘s ok. 不符合英语习惯；No, thanks. 又与句意不符。

3. –Thanks for the lovely party and the delicious food.–_________________[本题2分](A) No, thanks.(B) Never mind.(C) All right.(D) Don‘t mention it.你选择的答案： [前面作业中已经做正确] [正确]正确答案：D解答参考：[第二单元]D 同上题，考查对感谢的应答。

Answer the questions on which test by choosingA ,B ,C,or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1WhenKatherine Chon was in fifth grade．she drew a“dream tree”erepresenting the path shehopedher life would take．One branch led to Harvard Medical School，Which isexactly what hermotherhad hoped for when the Chons moved to the U．S．from SouthKorea to give their three children opportunities．Always adiligent student，Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown．But then sheadded a new limbto her dream tree—one mat her mother still doesn’t understand．Shocked bythe misfortune of some South Korean women，Katherine joinedforces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project，now one ofthe largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country，“It wasreally hard for my parents，”says Katherine．“They had so many life stresses so their children could、get a greateducation and have a comfortable life．”Thedreams of parents and children often differ，but the conflict canbe especially painful infirst-generationimmigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices．Lisa Park，an assistantprofessor at the University of California，San Diego，says that：the focus ofevery family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for theirchildren is almost always on the future，with little mentionof the circumstances that compelled them to move．And even though the parentsare the ones working 12-hour days，the children ale also under intense pressure to perform in ways thatwill justify the parents’ sacrifice．Thecontrast between parents’ dreams andchildren’s realities can be particularly sharp fordaughterswho have grown up with almost infinite opportunities．Theirmothers often came from placeswhere opportunities for women were limited，which makes thedaughters’ choices even harder tounderstand．Mary Lugemwa’s parents encouraged her to study math or science atHarvard．Shecomplied at first，majoring in computer science．But she is currentlyworking as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media．“I sometimesfeel guilty，”she says，“having chosen,to bean artist，because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background，I could helpmy parents a lot more．”46．WhenKatherine Chon was a fifth—grader，________．[A]shehad a great interest in drawing[B]she had a clear vision of her future[C]shehad an independent personality[D]she had a desire to study in the U．S．47．It can b e inferredfrom the text that Katherine’s mother_______．[A]wasdisappointed at her daughter’s decision[B]wasshocked by the suffering of some women[C]failedto give her kids enough opportunities[D]failedto realize her own dream to be a doctor48：According tothe text，in first—generation immigrant families，the parents feelfrustrated if[A]theyfail to adjust to the circumstances[B]theyare forced to make great sacririces[C]theirchildren fail to focus on the future[D]theirchildren develop against their wishes49．According toLisa Park，first—generation immigrant children_______．[A]avoidthe slightest mention of their parents’ past[B]focuson seizing chances for future development[C]workvery hard to justify their parents’ sacrifices[D]areunder pressure to fulfill their parents’ dreams50．We learnfrom Mary Lugemwa’s case that_______．[A]herparents cherished opportunities more than she did[B]herparents’ dreams and her reality could bebalanced[C]shehad a quite different view of life from her parents[D]sheenjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2MothersAgainst Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimedat Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocatesdropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protectinnocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limitcould result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．Butquestions have been raised about the science behind that campaign．MADDselectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the MentalHealthCentre．Mama，in turn，had gotthose numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden andAustralia．The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors’numerouswarnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，theAustralian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not loweredBAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．thatresearch was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far morecommon．What’s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state ofQueensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie，inneighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent．It isalso reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers inalcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheelwith BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkerswho consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD’sconcern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths．TheCanada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and theTraffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign．Even theOntario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean morework for police and the courts．But toMADD’s Mu rie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAClimits，regardless to whatlevel，you’ll saveCanadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn’t quite add up．51．MADDlaunched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．[A]criticizethe Justice Minister[B]improve BAC measurement[C]restrictdrivers’access to alcohol[D]revise the law regarding drunk driving52．From thetext we learn that MADD cites a report that________．[A]justifiesits new campaign[B]is favored by the authorities[C]sumsup major public concerns[D]is mentioned in two other studies53．It isimplied in the text that Mann’s report is unreliable because_______．[A]itwas based on some unsound research[B]itgot its data from two inconsistent studies[C]itwas written in conditions no longer valid[D]itignored the limitations of the studies cited54．The textindicates that MADD’s campaign_______．[A]willnot affect social drinkers[B]mayturn out to be of little value[C]isgoing to reduce governmental labor[D]haswon support from some organizations55．The writer’sattitude towards the campaign is_______．[A]satirical[B]scornful[C]suspicious[D]supportiveText 3A recentstudy demonstrated how powerful a few words can be：Fortycompetitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way．Just beforeeach ball appeared，the players saw orheard comments like“Good shot”or“Bad shot．”The reaction times of players hearingnegativeremarks were measurably slower．And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistentgame and not make unforced errors．What isthe explanation? Negative feedbackweakens anyone’s belief in his or her ability tosucceed．But if youcan hold on to a winning attitude，you’ll make a greater effort and al so createpositivedrive．Confident people inspire others；opportunities seemto come their way more often．Theybecome magnets for success．Learnthe importance of giving yourself pep talks,and keep the voice in yourhead positive.The bestathletes，success is rarely due to raw talent alone．It’s becausethey’re simply better pre。

Answer the questions on which test by choosingA ,B ,C,or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1WhenKatherine Chon was in fifth grade．she drew a“dream tree”erepresenting the path shehopedher life would take．One branch led to Harvard Medical School，Which isexactly what hermotherhad hoped for when the Chons moved to the U．S．from SouthKorea to give their three children opportunities．Always adiligent student，Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown．But then sheadded a new limbto her dream tree—one mat her mother still doesn‟t understand．Shocked bythe misfortune of some South Korean women，Katherine joinedforces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project，now one ofthe largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country，“It wasreally hard for my parents，”says Katherine．“They had so many life stresses so their children could、get a greateducation and have a comfortable life．”Thedreams of parents and children often differ，but the conflict canbe especially painful infirst-generationimmigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices．Lisa Park，an assistantprofessor at the University of California，San Diego，says that：the focus ofevery family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for theirchildren is almost always on the future，with little mentionof the circumstances that compelled them to move．And even though the parentsare the ones working 12-hour days，the children ale also under intense pressure to perform in ways thatwill justify the parents‟ sacrifice．Thecontrast between parents‟ dreams andchildren‟s realities can be particularly sharp fordaughterswho have grown up with almost infinite opportunities．Theirmothers often came from placeswhere opportunities for women were limited，which makes thedaughters‟ choices even harder tounderstand．Mary Lugemwa‟s parents encouraged her to study math or science atHarvard．Shecomplied at first，majoring in computer science．But she is currentlyworking as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media．“I sometimesfeel guilty，”she says，“having chosen,to bean artist，because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background，I could helpmy parents a lot more．”46．WhenKatherine Chon was a fifth—grader，________．[A]shehad a great interest in drawing[B]she had a clear vision of her future[C]shehad an independent personality[D]she had a desire to study in the U．S．47．It can b e inferredfrom the text that Katherine‟s mother_______．[A]wasdisappointed at her daughter‟s decision[B]wasshocked by the suffering of some women[C]failedto give her kids enough opportunities[D]failedto realize her own dream to be a doctor48：According tothe text，in first—generation immigrant families，the parents feelfrustrated if[A]theyfail to adjust to the circumstances[B]theyare forced to make great sacririces[C]theirchildren fail to focus on the future[D]theirchildren develop against their wishes49．According toLisa Park，first—generation immigrant children_______．[A]avoidthe slightest mention of their parents‟ past[B]focuson seizing chances for future development[C]workvery hard to justify their parents‟ sacrifices[D]areunder pressure to fulfill their parents‟ dreams50．We learnfrom Mary Lugemwa‟s case that_______．[A]herparents cherished opportunities more than she did[B]herparents‟ dreams and her reality could bebalanced[C]shehad a quite different view of life from her parents[D]sheenjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2MothersAgainst Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimedat Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocatesdropping the Criminal Code‟s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protectinnocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limitcould result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．Butquestions have been raised about the science behind that campaign．MADDselectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the MentalHealthCentre．Mama，in turn，had gotthose numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden andAustralia．The conclusions in Mann‟s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors‟numerouswarnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，theAustralian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not loweredBAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．thatresearch was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far morecommon．What‟s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state ofQueensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD‟s Murie，inneighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent．It isalso reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers inalcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheelwith BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkerswho consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD‟sconcern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths．TheCanada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and theTraffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD‟s campaign．Even theOntario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean morework for police and the courts．But toMADD‟s Mu rie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAClimits，regardless to whatlevel，you‟ll saveCanadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn‟t quite add up．51．MADDlaunched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．[A]criticizethe Justice Minister[B]improve BAC measurement[C]restrictdrivers‟access to alcohol[D]revise the law regarding drunk driving52．From thetext we learn that MADD cites a report that________．[A]justifiesits new campaign[B]is favored by the authorities[C]sumsup major public concerns[D]is mentioned in two other studies53．It isimplied in the text that Mann‟s report is unreliable because_______．[A]itwas based on some unsound research[B]itgot its data from two inconsistent studies[C]itwas written in conditions no longer valid[D]itignored the limitations of the studies cited54．The textindicates that MADD‟s campaign_______．[A]willnot affect social drinkers[B]mayturn out to be of little value[C]isgoing to reduce governmental labor[D]haswon support from some organizations55．The writer‟sattitude towards the campaign is_______．[A]satirical[B]scornful[C]suspicious[D]supportiveText 3A recentstudy demonstrated how powerful a few words can be：Fortycompetitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way．Just beforeeach ball appeared，the players saw orheard comments

Newspapers and magazines, television, and film all have an influence on how we view the roles of women and men and on how we think they should behave.Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learnthe basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this. However,they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and tooffer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now afew less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles andthat cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily assex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older menwho smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully abouttheir clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash theirhusband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they presentwomen, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common tosee advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sellcars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttimetelevision, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing householdchores.Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In pastdecades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passivegirlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different.Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselvesand their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even whenwomen are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexyas well.问题1. The best title for this passage is _______所选答案： A. Gender Roles in the Media2.

However, the first part of the 20th century was very much a one way flow of information as the developments in Western medicine flooded into China. In Western countries Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was relatively unknown until President Nixon’s groundbreaking visit to China in 1971 and the accounts of the use of acupuncture for pain control appeared in the New York Times.Since then there has been a rapid growth in the awareness and use of TCM in Western countries. Universities around the world are now offering degrees in TCM. In the UK there are several thousand practitioners offering herbal medicines, acupuncture and other techniques within a Western clinical setting.There are several reasons for this rapid rise in popularity. The initial appeal of the foreign culture was replaced by research reports indicating the effectiveness of TCM treatments. The groundbreaking studies on the successful use of Chinese herbal medicines in the treatment of eczema at Great Ormond Street Hospital hit the national headlines and established medical journals.TCM is now frequently used for this and many other forms of skin disease. Alongside the evidence supporting the use of TCM there was also a growing sense of dissatisfaction with the limitations of modern medical treatment. The lack of a holistic perspective, short consultation times and the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs have indicated that more and more people are seeking additional forms of health care. In recent years improved standards of education and professional organization, and a new emphasis on quality control have indicated that now there is a network of well qualified TCM practitioners offering the benefits of this ancient tradition to the Western public.6. What does the passage say about the relationship between Eastern and Western medical system?所选答案：C. The westerners have learned about Traditional Chinese Medicinesince 1970s.7. From paragraph 2 we know “acupuncture” is _____________.所选答案： B. a technique of TCM8. According to the passage, why is TCM more and more popular in the western countries now?所选答案： B.
