大英四期末考试背诵内容用的是谷歌翻译，有些中文意思稍微有点出入第四单元课文翻译：5.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarilya characteristic of high intelligence.Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce original ideas that are good for something.创造力不是一种与生俱来的东西，也不一定是高智力的一个特征。

仅仅因为一个人是很聪明的，并不意味着他创造性地使用它。

创造力是使用资源的问题，一个必须产生原创的想法，是有益的东西6.Unfortunately, schools have not tended to promote creativity. With strong emphasis on test scores and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators sacrifice creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can't recognize ways to apply it to new situations. They may know their multiplication tables, for example, but they are unable to apply them to story problems不幸的是，学校并没有倾向于促进创造力。

Cloze TestPassage 1Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to 1 when trying judge the intelligence of others.

However, soon I was bored, and deep in my mind, I felt lost. I couldn’t 13 why, but only felt that something needed to be done. Great emptiness, sometimes fear, made me sick. In a scream I 14 to reality, remaining sleepless the rest of the night. I was puzzled why, in the dream, I couldn’t continue my comfortable life, and what on e arth I wanted 15 this. I couldn’t help asking: “What do we live for?” At that moment I thought of my ideal of being a well-known scholar, rather than a successful businessman. 16 once I imagined one day I stood on the platform in a university classroom, lecturing to the earnest students. Their wholehearted applause made me extremely happy, for I had 17 my social value. This sense of fulfillment can 18 be replaced by money. After careful consideration, I was determined to 19 my major of literature, which I was fond of and 20 of realizing my ideal in it.11. A. on B. with C. from D. at12.

The 22 thing is, perhaps, the presenting of a business card, which is also called a name card. You should accept the card with a smile and at the same time 23 _yours.Nowadays, business cards have become more and more 24 in an introduction. They do not only contain the bearer’s name, profession and title, but also the address, telephone number, postal code, e-mail address and other useful 25 _and personal data. To a foreign friend, we should remember to present a card 26__with an English version or the one written in English, because most English speakers don’t have competence in reading Chinese. In most 27 ,a Chinese name is hard to pronounce for our foreign friends. So you should make it as 28 as possible in the introduction. Probably, you may give them your family name only.

They were born in a hospital in New York in 1943.When they were only two weeks old, their parents were killed in a car accident. There was nobody to look after the two baby girls, so they were raised in two different homes for children without parents.They grew up without seeing each other again. When Susan was twenty-one, she went to live in Australia; but Laura continued to live in New York. Later, Laura discovered that she had a twin sister. And she would like to meet her. For two years, she wrote to newspapers, asking for information and finally she found out where Susan was living. Laura wrote to her and arranged to fly to Australia to meet her.When the two sisters met after thirty years, they talked a great deal about themselves, their lives and their families. They discovered some surprising coincidences (巧合的事). They both liked the same colors, the same music, the same clothes, the same food and the same books.But more surprising, they both had become nurses; and they had been trained to be nurses at the same time. Both of them had married doctors; and their husbands were tall and black. Both of them had had two daughters and one son. Still more strange, they both had got married on the same day, and their first children had been born within a few days.1.

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred (上帝的) texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫),two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was.孩子一旦被满意喜欢故事,作为一个规则,在相同讲同样的话,但这应该不让父母把打印出来的童话故事当作神圣(上帝的)文本。

A 第二部分：阅读理解Passage 1 I was 15 when I walked into McCarley Bookstore and began to look over the titles of the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes. I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying. One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried andI?ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her. Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket. I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free.I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward. At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for the customers, not just for the store. Today it?s the same. NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience inMcCarley Bookstore helped me find a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself. 1. How did the author get the job in McCarley Bookstore? A.He happened to walk into the shop and got it by chance. B.He had always wanted to have a job in that bookstore and he succeeded. C.He liked reading books, so tried to get a job there. D. He did not go to school, so he looked for a job when he was 15. 2. According to the author, selling books was one of the most satisfying job experiences, because ____________. A.he only had to work after school and got good wages B.it helped him understand the world and himself C.it helped him pay for his freshman year of college D.he did not feel that he was working for the store 3. After he helped the fearful lady looking for books on cancer, the author was____________. A.worried about her B.less worried about her C. unable to forget her D. proud of himself 4. The author decided to help the poor boy by ____________. A. persuading his boss to do the story on TV B.persuading his boss to let him do the story on TV C.asking a doctor to perform the operation for free D.visiting the boy in the recovery room after the operation 5. The main reason that the author thinks his present job is the same as the one in the bookstore is ____________. A.it gives him salary B.it makes him feel excited C.it helps people make sense of the world D.it enables him to work (Key: 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. B 5. C) Passage 2 Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100.Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal of the world?s paper - did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century. When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper isused for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses. 1. Where was paper invented?A. In China.B. In southern Europe.C. In Scandinavia.D. In Britain. 2. Scandinavia began to make paper ____________. A. in 1100 B. in 1400 C. in 1500 D. in the first century 3. Every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper will need ____________. A. half a tree B. one tree C. two trees D. more than one tree 4. All over the world, trees are being cut down ____________ than they are being planted.A. more slowlyB. much fasterC. much more slowlyD. faster 5. The latest things made of paper are____________. A. chairs B. tables C. clothes D. houses (Key: 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D 5. D) Passage 3 Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there?s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You?ve got to want to write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. Only a few writers were kissed by fortune, however there are thousands more whose work is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no proposals at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York department building. I didn?t even care that it was coldand had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.After a year I still hadn?t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn?t going to be one of those people who did wondering “What if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 41. The passage is meant to. A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C. show young people it?s unrealistic for a writer to pursuewealth and fame D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career 42. What can be concluded from the passage?.A. Good writers often find their work interesting and rewardingB. Writer?s success depends on luck rather than on effortC. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chances for a writer to become successful are small 43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?. A. Because he wasn?t able to produce a single book B. Because he hadn?t seen a change for the better C. Because he wasn?t able to have a rest for a whole year D. Because he found his dream would never come true 44. The word “people” in the sentence “…people who did wondering…” in Paragraph 3 refers to those. A. who think a lot without making a decision B. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think too much of the positive side of lifeD. who are full of imagination even upon death 45. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to. A. the wonderful land one often dreams about B. the bright future that one is looking forward to C. the state of uncertainty before one?s final goal is reached D. a word that exists only in one?s imagination Key: 41. A Passage 4 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. C If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often itwas destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people then did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings. And these have been sung and acted and told for many generations for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ?remembered history?. Some of it has now been written down. It is notso exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.46. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?. A. Where there are no written records, there is no history B. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions D. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history 47. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because. A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record C. the written records were perhapsdestroyed by a fire D. the people there did not know how to write 48. “Remembered history” refers to. A. history based on a person?s imagination B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C. songs and dances about the most important events D. both B and C 49. “Remembered history” is considered valuable only when. A. it is written down B. no written account is available C. it proves to be true D. people are interested in it 50. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about human history than we do now if the ancient people had. A. made more songs and dances B. not burnt their written records in wars C. kept a written record of every past event D. told exact stories of the most important happenings Key: 46. A 47. D 48. D 49.
