英语期中复习提纲考试题型：写作，快速阅读，深度阅读，翻译，听力，选词填空一、课文背诵段落（选词填空，划线处为重点）Unit 1I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don’t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. The other requirement is energy — a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.How much longer we’ll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody’s guess — perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, we’ll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we’ve been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. We’ve invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, andwe could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again. We didn’t move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know we’ve found just what we were looking for.Unit 2Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom. In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it’s about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intenton telling their stories.一、翻译（整句中译英）Unit 11、（1）我们的计算机系统出了毛病，但我觉得问题比较小。
