UNIT 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。
我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。
我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。
“好极了!”他说,接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答,他就说到,“好极了!”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡,却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。
结束时我看了看笔记,我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
那个女生名叫苏菲,和我一样,也是英语文学专业的学生。

Lunch is for them a kind of gratuity(报酬)paid to the body. They hurriedly toss(抛)it a fruit or a fish and go back to work. Certain writers, in rebellion, have founded the club, "Three Hours for Lunch', but they are an agreeable exception. Even at dinner, general conversation is rare. After dinner the men linger(逗留) at the table, a custom inherited from England, but they only talk to his neighbor. In New York your host will often propose taking you to the theatre, or else he will provide a pianist, a singer, a lecturer. The idea of leaving the guests to themselves, and expecting them to get pleasure out of meeting one another, astonishes and even shocks him. His excessive (过渡的) modesty does not permit his imagining thefact that his friends can be happy merely in being in his house, with one another. He treats them like children. On Christmas Eve you will see, in some of the pleasant homes in New York, Christmas trees for grown people. In other places, after a dinner at which you exchange ideas, they will be a magician(魔术师) who will do his best to amuse the elderly people. There you must realize that the absence of conversation in American homes comes, not from absence of ideas or lack of intelligence of understanding, but from an unconquerable shyness and a great self-distrust.1. The Americans hurry through lunch because ________.A. they are ambitious of success in their careerB. they have rebelled against English customsC. they don't think it is importantD. talking while eating is impolite2. The author believes that___________.A. people are capable of getting pleasure out of meeting one anotherB. people enjoy their food more when it is attractively servedC. Americans don't want to act like cultured gentlemenD. Americans don't think deeply enough to be good conversationalists3. The author talks about some American writers who________.A. wrote stories about American eating habitsB. decided to enjoy leisurely lunchesC. eat while they workD. wrote short plays to be presented at night clubs4. The author feels that Americans lack_______.A. understandingB. self-confidenceC. self-controlD. a rebellious spirit5. According to the author, in England_________.A. the guests expect the host to have entertainment for themB. the men remain at the table to talkC. people don't consider Christmas dinner importantD. the men usually spend three hours at dinner(2)"What we want is rest," said Harris."Rest and a complete change," said George, " Change of scene, and no need to think about anything."I agreed with George, and suggested we should look for some quiet place far from crowds and the noisy world.Harris said he thought it would be terrible. He said he knew the kind of place I meant, where everybody went to bed at eight o' clock, and you couldn't get an Evening News for love or money, and had to walk ten miles to the nearest cinema. "No," he said, "if you want rest and a change, you had better take a sea trip."I was strongly against a sea trip. A sea trip does you good when you are going to have a couple of months of it, but for a week, it is pointless.George said, "Let's go up the river. "He said we should have fresh air and rest, the constant change of scene would broaden our minds, and the hard work would give us a good appetite(食欲)and make us sleep well.Harris said he didn't think George ought to do anything that might make him sleepier than he already was but all the same he agreed the river would suit him, Harris, perfectly. It suited me too and we therefore decided to go up the river.1. George's idea of rest and a complete change is_______.A. having nothing on his mindB. not having any worries in lifeC. relaxing in new placesD. not thinking about new scenes2. When Harris said, "You couldn't get an Evening News for love or money', he meant "you couldn't get a paper________。
全新版大学英语(第二版)综合教程第1册Unit7AnimalIntelligenceBefore Reading >> GorillaI. Introduction to GorillasListen to the following passage and fill in the gaps with the words you hear.It’s the largest of the great apes. The male is heavily built and may stand 1.7m (5.5 feet) in height, with an arm spread of 2.4m (7.8 feet). It has a large head with a short neck, a prominent (突起的) mouth, thin lips, and small ears. The female is smaller than the male. This huge animal has formidable (可怕的) canine (似犬的) teeth, yet it feeds on fruit and vegetables and has no natural enemies.Most of the day is spent on the ground; they usually walk on all four limps leaning on the knuckles (手指关节) of their hands, but occasionally upright. Gorillas live in family groups. The young gorillas climb very well, but old ones stay almost all the time on the ground. At night, the gorilla family sleeps on the ground in nests made of branches and leaves. Gorillas are hard to keep in captivity, for they are likely to get human diseases, such as tuberculosis (结核病). Gorillas, generally, are a center of attraction in most of the big cities.II. Features of GorillasHair and Skin:Gorillas are covered with brownish hair on most of their body (except their fingers, palms, armpits, and bottoms of their feet).Head:Gorillas have a very large head with a bulging forehead, and each has a unique nose print (like we have unique fingerprints).Gorillas have senses very similar to ours, including hearing, sight (they seem to be slightly nearsighted and have color vision), smell, taste, and touch.Habitat:Gorillas are primarily terrestrial (陆栖的) (although they lived in trees back in their evolutionary past). Gorillas live in tropical rain forests (in the forest edges and clearings), wet lowland forests, swamps, and abandoned fields.Before Reading >> Killer WhaleListen to a passage and answer the questions.1. How long and how heavy is a male killer whale?(The male averages 27 feet and 11 tons.)2. How fast dose a killer whale swim?(It swims with a speed of 30 mph.)3.

Unit 7Text A翻译(黑体字是课后填空题)What Animals Really Think动物到底想些什么Eugene Linden尤金·林登1 Over the years, I have written extensively about animal-intelligence experiments and the controversy that surrounds them. Do animals really have thoughts, what we call consciousness? Wondering whether there might be better ways to explore animal intelligence than experiments designed to teach human signs, I realized what now seems obvious: if animals can think, they will probably do their best thinking when it serves their own purposes, not when scientists ask them to.多年来,我写了大量关于动物智能实验、以及围绕这些实验所产生的争议的文章。
动物真的有思想,即我们所说的意识吗?在考虑是否会有比设计教动物人类手势语的实验更好的方式探索动物智能时,我悟出了现在看来是显而易见的一点:如果动物能思维,它们会在能为自己所用的时候,而不是在科学家让它们思维的时候作出最佳思维。

Culture, beliefs, and family structure ar usually closely connected. Relatively speaking, families in Asian cultures tend to be closer and play a moreimportant role in society than those in many other cultures.Society in Mongolia has traditionally been, and continues to be, nomadic in nature. Families tend to live inclose proximity with each other in single-room homes, even in cities. Though families tend to be physically an emotionally close, there also exist strong relationships between generations. As in most Asian countries,respect for the elderly and for one's parents is strong and younger generations are expected to value andfollow the examples set forth by the older. Many Mongolians continue to adhere to the proverb, "Regardless o how good a son is born, he can never be wise without a father's instructions."Similar to many Chinese cultures, the Spring Festival (lunar New Year) is a major holiday and occasion forfamilies to come together. On New Year's Eve, the entire family will gather for singing, dancing, offering thank to the elder generations, cooking and eating a large feast, and storytelling. Celebrations will often last through the night. For many families that inhabit the generally isolated countryside, this is a rare opportunity fortogetherness, festivities, and thanksgiving.Traditionally, Mongolians viewed the family as their primary obligation. Therefore, the family, rather than the individual, usually defines the basic unit of social organization. Since many Mongolians lead nomadic lifestyle and / or live in very remote locations, parents were historically responsible for disciplining and educating their children. Many urban families now have the option to send children to public schools or private boardingschools. Many children in the countryside, however, continue to spend most of their childhoods herding livestock, as they do not have the opportunity to attend formal school.41. This passage would probably appear in _____.A. a popular magazineB. a financial newspaperC. a world history textbookD. an advertising brochure42. Which of the following sentences best sums up the main idea of the entire passage?A. Families around the world are very much the same and very different.B. Culture, beliefs, and family structure are usually closely connected.C. The Spring Festival is a major holiday and occasion for families to cometogether.D. Traditionally, Mongolians viewed the family as their primary obligation.43. The third paragraph is about the role of the family versus the role of ____.A. societyB. the individualC. the countrysideD. school44. Which paragraph defines the basic structure of Mongolian families?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. With which of the following statements would the author agree?A. Families in Asian cultures play a more significant role than those in Westerncultures.B. Families in Western cultures play a more significant role than those in Asian cultures.C. Families in Asian and Western cultures play equally significant roles.D. Families in Asian and Western cultures do not play significant roles.。
Unit1 为自己而写从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装,白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。
他有着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来—本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。
我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年,不少日子过去了,还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题供我们选择。
像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数—样乏味。
我把作文题带回家,—直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。
我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅、帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有—个吃起来得心应手的。
艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作—团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。
突然我就想描述那一切,描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛,但我把它写下来仅仅是想自得其乐,而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。
Before Reading >> GorillaI. Introduction to GorillasListen to the following passage and fill in the gaps with the words you hear.It’s the largest of the great apes. The male is heavily built and may stand 1.7m (5.5 feet) in height, with an arm spread of 2.4m (7.8 feet). It has a large head with a short neck, a prominent (突起的) mouth, thin lips, and small ears. The female is smaller than the male. This huge animal has formidable (可怕的) canine (似犬的) teeth, yet it feeds on fruit and vegetables and has no natural enemies.Most of the day is spent on the ground; they usually walk on all four limps leaning on the knuckles (手指关节) of their hands, but occasionally upright. Gorillas live in family groups. The young gorillas climb very well, but old ones stay almost all the time on the ground. At night, the gorilla family sleeps on the ground in nests made of branches and leaves. Gorillas are hard to keep in captivity, for they are likely to get human diseases, such as tuberculosis (结核病). Gorillas, generally, are a center of attraction in most of the big cities.II. Features of GorillasHair and Skin:Gorillas are covered with brownish hair on most of their body (except their fingers, palms, armpits, and bottoms of their feet).Head:Gorillas have a very large head with a bulging forehead, and each has a unique nose print (like we have unique fingerprints).Senses:Gorillas have senses very similar to ours, including hearing, sight (they seem to be slightly nearsighted and have color vision), smell, taste, and touch.Habitat:Gorillas are primarily terrestrial (陆栖的) (although they lived in trees back in their evolutionary past). Gorillas live in tropical rain forests (in the forest edges and clearings), wet lowland forests, swamps, and abandoned fields.Before Reading >> Killer WhaleListen to a passage and answer the questions.1. How long and how heavy is a male killer whale?(The male averages 27 feet and 11 tons.)2. How fast dose a killer whale swim?(It swims with a speed of 30 mph.)3.

HoweverE. rangF. asideG. typeH. environmentI. anywayJ. sightsK. together L. situation M. way N. protect O. defendSection B (20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.People tend to be more impressed by evidence that seems to confirm some relationship. Thus many are convinced their dreams are prophetic (预言的) because a few have come true; they fail to notice the many that have not. Consider also the belief that "the phone always rings when I'm in the shower." If it does ring while you are in the shower, the event will stand out and be remembered. If it doesn't ring, that nonevent probably won't even register (留下印象).People want to see order, pattern and meaning in the world. Consider, for example, the common belief that things like personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths "happen in threes." Such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period. If three plane crashes occur in a month, then the period of time that counts as their "happening together" is one month; if three crashes occur in a year, the period of time is stretched. Flexible end points reinforce such beliefs.We also tend to believe what we want to believe. A majority of people think they are more intelligent, more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the average person. Part of the reason we view ourselves so favorably is that we use criteria that work to our advantage. As economist Thomas Schelling explains, "Everybody ranks himself high in qualities he values: careful drivers give weight to care, skilled drivers give weight to skill, and those who are polite give weight to courtesy, " This way everyone ranks high on his own scale. Perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious (谨慎的) in drawing conclusions. The "evidence " of everyday life issometimes misleading.21. In the first paragraph the author states that ____.(A) dreams cannot be said to be prophetic even though a few have come true.(B) dreams are prophetic because some of them did come true.(C) dreams may come true if clearly remembered.(D) dreams and reality are closely related.22. By "things like ..." "happen in threes" (Para. 3, Line 2), the author indicates that people believe ____ .(A) personal misfortunes tend to happen every now and then.(B) personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths usually happen together.(C) misfortunes tend to occur according to certain patterns.(D) misfortunes will never occur more than three times to a person in his lifetime.23. Ten word "courtesy" (Para. 4, line 6) probably means ____.(A) good manners. (B) Appropriate speech.(C) Friendly relations. (D)Satisfactory service.24. What can be inferred from the passage? ____(A) Happenings that go unnoticed deserve more attention.(B) In a series of misfortunes the third one is usually the most serious.(C) People tend to make use of evidence that supports their own beliefs.(D) Believers of misfortunes happening in threes are cautious in interpreting events.25. It can be concluded from the passage that ____.(A) there is some truth even in the wildest dreams.(B) one should take notice of other people's merits.(C) there is no order or pattern in world events.(D) we should not base our conclusions on accidental evidence.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it.There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested (无利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill,wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.26. Disagreement arises when people try to decide _____.(A) how much more wisdom we have now than before(B) what wisdom is and how to develop it(C) if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age(D) whether wisdom can be developed or not27. According to the author, "wisdom" is the ability to _____.(A) carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research work(B) give each important problem some careful consideration(C) acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledge(D) give suitable consideration to all the possible elements ina problem28. Lowering the infant death-rate may _____.(A) prove to be helpful everywhere in the world(B) give rise to an increase in population in Europe(C) cause food shortages in Asia and Africa(D) raise the living standard of the people in Africa29. The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that _____.(A) it's extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in problem(B) success in medical research has its negative effects(C) scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human race(D) it's unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine30. What is the main idea of the passage? _____(A) It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man.(B) The more knowledge one has, the wiser one becomes.(C) Any increase of knowledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance of wisdom.(D) Wisdom increases in proportion to one's age.III.
