[2019年秋季]姓名学号学习中心专业年级考试时间大学英语2(高起专)阶段性作业4总分：100 分得分：0 分一、阅读理解In 1933 an unknown A merican c alled C larence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片）film for children.When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film T he Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when h e became angry with M ickey's eight nephews. Soon D onald w as more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA i n the world and safety in t he home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck a nd h is voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash d ied in F ebruary, 1985. But today's children c an still s ee the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.(30分)1). Who was Clarence Nash? (6分)(A) A cartoonist(B) The man who made the voice for Donald Duck.(C) A film-maker(D) A film star参考答案：B2).

(6分)(A) In 1933 (B) In 1934 (C) In 1966 (D) In 1985参考答案：BBackground music may seem h armless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it.Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing （舒适的）atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An A merican marketing expert has shown that music can boost（提升）sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music canincrease receipts（收入）by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer.The e xpert f ound t hat i n r estaurants s low m usic m eant c ustomers t ook l onger t o e at t heir meals, which r educed o verall s ales. So restaurant owners might be well advised t o play faster music to keep the customers moving－unless, of course, the resulting indigestion（消化不良）leads to complaints.(30分)6).

It seems that in the 1980s the principal carriers of the disease were homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes. Now it is becoming evident that heterosexuals also spread the disease, that children can be born with the virus and that patients in hospitals are being infected too.Just as the WHO fought the spread of children’s disease throughout the world in the 1960s, so now they must again use education to fight this killer disease. The organization proposes to write newspaper articles and books, and to make videos andTV programs. These will be translated into the major languages of the world so that as many people as possible can be educated about the danger of AIDS.However, we are still faced with two big questions. Is educating the public enough if we are to control the spread of AIDS? Does the WHO have enough money and resources for hospitals throughout the world to help and care for sufferers? One fact is becoming clearer and that is that the WHO has not focused enough on the need to educate medical staff. There are still hospitals and health centers in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients, while there are others where too little care is taken to prevent the spread of the disease.1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Ca. AIDS is a disease for which a cure has been found.b. AIDS is a disease which has just been found.c. AIDS is a disease which has existed for a long time.d. AIDS is a disease which spreads very slowly.2. Who is easily infected with AIDS?Da. People who use drugs.b. People who visit prostitutes.c. Patients who stay in hospital.d. All of the above.3. In WHO’s opinion, what will help most effectively in fighting against the spread of AIDS?Aa. More education.b. More medicines.c. More doctors.d. More equipment.4. From the passage, we can see that the writer is not happy about ___B___.a. the education the general public get on AIDSb. the education the medical staff get on AIDSc. the TV programs on AIDSd. the newspaper articles on AIDS5. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?Ca. It is not enough only to educated the general public.b. There are some hospitals in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDSpatients.c. Great care has been taken to prevent the spread of AIDS everywhere in the worldnow.d. More money and resources are needed to control the spread of AIDS.Passage TwoIn recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity (生产率)? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way isimportant, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a single large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers’ contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also a factor we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.6. According to the author, many factories of the world have been faced with the problem of ___B___.a. a lack of workersb. how to increase productivityc. product distributiond. low-quality products7. Job variety can ___B___.a. greatly increase productivityb. make the workers’ life more pleasantc. make the workers work harderd. increase the variety of products8. It is not easy for the workers to get freedom to do their job in their own way because _C_____.a. there is a shortage of the workersb. the managers don’t allow them to do soc. modern machinery must be operated in a particular wayd. there are too many production lines9. According to experiments, if a car factory wants the workers to contribute more to the product they are making, it should ___B___.a. expand the factoryb. change a large production line into many small onesc. raise their wagesd. allow them to see just one small part of the product10. What is probably the best way to make the workers more productive, according to the author?Ba. Paying workers more money.b. Making jobs more interesting.c. Shortening working hours.d. Allowing workers more leisure time.Passage ThreeNowadays, if you were to ask 100 people their opinions about what to wear to an interview, the majority would answer: clean and simple clothes without showing off. An interview is not the place to make a fashion statement, though those in the art fields and the very famous can be a little different. Everyone else should choose to have a good enough but ordinary look. More and more companies are returning to traditional professional dress.Whatever you wear should go with the fact that you’re a professional who’s ready to get to work at a new job. let common sense be your guide, and it should be easy to avoid fashion mistakes that could damage your chances of getting to the next level in the process. In this market, it is essential that you look good and your appearance is right for the job.Colors in various shades of blue and gray are the best. Wearing black to the interview could be viewed as too serious. It you do wear black, make sure that there is another color near your face to soften the look. Brown is still considered questionable as a business color, and probably should be avoided. Change your outfit’s look for a second interview by wearing a different color blouse, shirt, scarf or tie.With these in mind, here are some well-thought-out suggestions on how to avoid fashion mistakes. An image consultant says, clothes should be a part of who you are and should not be noticed. She mentions some mistaken ways of dressing to avoid when interview time comes around:1. Wild Nail Polish –for men or women. Extremely long or uncut nails are a real turnoff, too. Your nails should be neatly cut.2. Jewellery That Makes Sounds: Don’t wear more than two rings per hand or only one single earring. If you do wear earrings, make sure they are in pair.3. Bare Legs: Wear stockings, even in hot summer weather. Stockings can be in quiet colors or a fashion color to match your shoes.4. Out-of-Date Suits or Leather Jackets for Men or Women: The style for men’s jackets is full-body and looser rather than fitted or tight. Leather jackets are not good for interviewing purposes. They look like outdoors wear. A tie is preferred, at least at the first meeting. At the very least, wear a collared shirt.5. Short Skirts: Skirts should be more than three inches long below the knee. Don’t even think about wearing pants to the interview.6. Printed or Trendy Handbags for women; Red Briefcases for men –Briefcases, purses and shoes should not be noisy in color and should be in good condition.11. From this passage we know that the author thinks ____A__.a. people in art fields and the very famous can dress themselves differentlyb. dressing oneself up to an interview is very important to attract noticec. traditional dress is the best for any situationd. traditional professional dress is too ordinary12. According to the author, when you are going to an interview, ___C___.a. whatever you wear is OK as long as you get the jobb. you don’t have to bet prepared, since it should be easyc. you should dress yourself in the right way for the job you are seekingd. your common sense will certainly get you through13. In the second paragraph of this passage, the phrase “In this market…” refers to the____D__ market.a. fashionb. image consultantc. clothesd. job14. It is believed that ___B___.a. black color is totally unacceptable since it is too serious for an interviewb. brown should be avoided because people are doubtful about it as a business colorc. dark blue or light gray is the best color for an intervieweed. one should change the color of one’s dress for each interview totally15. Which of the statement is not true according to the passage?Aa. Men should wear a jacket that fits him quite well for an interview.b. Short skirts wouldn’t be suitable dresses for an interviewc. To go to an interview, women should not wear pants.d. Never take a trendy handbag for an interview.Passage FourAccidents are caused; t hey don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune – frustration, tiredness, or just bad temper – that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with (和…争执) themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict to avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions made people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure that the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment –noise and fatigue (疲劳), boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.16. According to the author, the accidents are mainly caused by __B___.a.external conditionsb.people’s internal conditions influenced by physical or mental factorsc.slippery roadsd. a chain of events17. People used to think that __A___.a.car accidents are mainly caused by some drivers who drive so carelessly thatthey violate the traffic regulationsb.car accidents are mainly caused by ordinary drivers when they are careless orabsent-minded for a momentc.insurance companies support those who drive carelesslyd.an accident is something we cannot predict to avoid18. The passage suggests that __D___.a.safety regulations effectively prevent the accidents at workb.with all the safety precautions, accidents at work cannot be avoidedc.the human error or misjudgment leading to accidents at work are mainly due toworking environmentd.both b. and c.19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accident?Da. Moodb. Tirednessc. Carelessnessd. Weather20.What do you think would be the best title for the passage?Ca. Accidents and Anxiety.b. How Accidents Are Caused.c. Human Factors in Accidents.d.

In fact it has brought us nothing but trouble and inconvenience.It worked perfectly well for the first few days and then it began to make trouble. The day before yesterday, there was a football match between the Chinese Team and the Brazil’s. I turned on the TV with great expectation but it flashed a lot with lots of noise. I immediately turned it off and a few minutes later I tried it again. Much to my surprise, it refused to work with no picture and sound. I got very angry and my brother said it was totally dead.I am sure you will agree this is an unsatisfactory situation and it is also unfair toa customer. So I sincerely hope you will send some serviceman here to fix it or arrange for someone to replace it. Failing that, I will insist on a refund for the full price I have paid. Of course I hope we will not go so far.Looking forward to your reply, I am.Yours sincerely,Chen Ming。

Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, do ubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends — or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Supp ose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “you’re a lucky guy” or “you’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does that he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes ? Minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.(25分)6). From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _______.(5分)(A) feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him(B) feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly(C) thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen(D) is sorry that his friends let him down参考答案：B7).

If you are invited to a Yuppie dinner party, don’t be surprised if you are offered freshly cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful managers are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks. These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young people are logging on to foreign food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great beauty. One day, insects would be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets. According to their fans of Yuppies, they are not only healthy, but also very tasty. But until our attitudes to food change, it seems that insects eaters will remain a select few.(25分)11). Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Yuppie dinner party? (5分)(A) Because we might be offered a dish of freshly cooked insects as a first course.(B) Because nothing but freshly cooked insects are served.(C) Because some Yuppies like to horrify guests with insects as food.(D) Because we might meet many successful managers in the media industry. 参考答案：A12).

Why did the author write such a passage?(5分)(A) Look down upon Yuppies.(B) Enjoy the life of Yuppies.(C) Introduce the life of Yuppies.(D) Want to be Yuppies.参考答案：CThere are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Marin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organiz ed a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.(25分)16). . The author _______.(5分)(A) believes both of the stories(B) doesn’t believe a word of the stories(C) is not sure whether the stories are true(D) is telling the stories just for fun参考答案：C17).

Water heats up more slowly than land , but once it has become warm it takes longer to 31 down. If the Earth's surface were entirely land, the temperature at night would 32 quite quickly and night would be much colder than day. as it is on the moon. This does 33 happen in inland deserts, hundreds of mile from any sea .The climate of the continents , especially in the temperate 34 , is very much affected by the oceans around them. The areas close to the sea have a maritime climate, 35 rather cool summers and warm winter. The interiors, far from the sea, have a 36 climate with extremely hot summers and cold winters .Rain 37 from the evaporation of rivers, seas and lakes. Even after heavy rain , the pavements in a city do not take long to dry 38 the rainwater evaporates into the air. On a warm dry it evaporates very rapidly, 39 warm air can take in more moisture than cold air. But at any particular temperature, the 40 can hold only a certain maximum amount of water vapor. The air is then saturated, like a sponge that cannot hold 41 more water. The lower the temperature, the 42 water vapor is required to saturate the air.All over the surface of the Earth, minions of tons of water are 43 every second, condensing in the air into drops so small 44 it takes thousands of them to make a single raindrop. It is 45 drops that make clouds. When clouds roll in from the sea over the warmer land, they are forced to 46 and become cooler in the colder upper atmosphere. As the air cools down it pass through its saturation point and 47 some of its water vapor turns to rain. Day in ,day out, the 48 water circulates between the air and the land: rivers 49 to make clouds, clouds make rain, rainmakes rivers which in turn run into the sea. This is called the rain 50 .31.

I could have loved him as I did my mother, but he seemed to hold us off so that we could not approach him or sit on his knee as love to do. I believe he had a hard life as a child, and I know that he left school at the age of ten and started to work. This made him an unsociable man, unfriendly even to the people closest to him. I never knew him to have a close friend as the other men did.Everything he did had to be precise. If he chopped the sticks for the fire, each stick would be the same length and thickness as all the others, and they would all be stacked without one out of place. His motto(座右铭) was “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well”. In our household his word was law and nobody dared dispute it.He worked hard when in a job and saw to it that we children learned the meaning of work. My mother did not have much pleasure but I do not remember her ever complaining – except on Sunday afternoons when father would take off his clothes and get into bed, leaving her to mend his working clothes while he had his rest. This she disliked very much, for the clothes were dirty from the work he had been doing and she hated handing anything that was not clean.51. The writer found it difficult to understand her father because he ___________.A. looked distantB. rejected affectionC. ill-treated the familyD. disliked children52. What did the writer think made her father unsociable?A. An unhappy childhood.B. A lack of friends.C. No interest in hobbies.D. Not smoking or drinking.53. What was particular about the sticks for the fire?A. They were arranged in a pattern.B. They were chopped in only one place.C. They were similar in length.D. They all weighed the same.54. The writer’s father believed that __________.A. you should only do things for which you have the abilityB. only important jobs are worth doing wellC. you should only attempt worthwhile jobsD. anything you do should be done to your best ability55. What did the writer’s mother dislike about Sunday afternoons?A. Working while her husband rested.B. Repairing her husband’s clothes.C. Not being able to have any pleasure.D. Touching unclean clothes.Passage 2Nonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious(调情) for a woman to allow a man to look at her in the eye. This “eye contact”provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the thing you are talking about.56. Nonverbal communication includes all forms listed below except ________.A. gesturesB. body distanceC. talksD. eye contact57. While talking, the South Americans tend to _________.A. talk loudlyB. be close to each otherC. keep a certain distance between themD. push each other58. While they are talking, the North Americans tend to ________ .A. talk loudlyB. be close to each otherC. keep a certain distance between themD. be cold59. It would be considered ________ in the Middle East, if a woman allows a man to look at herin the eye.A. politeB. impoliteC. acceptableD. unacceptable60. More eye contacts may indicate all of the following except that ________.A. people like each otherB. people are interested in the topicC. people are interested in each otherD. people want to keep talking五. Translate the following sentences into English.61. 既然你不能回答这个问题，我们最好问问别人。
电大英语2作业4作文My View on Online Learning。
With the development of technology, online learning has become increasingly popular in recent years. As a student of distance education, I have been experiencing online learning for quite a while. In my opinion, online learning has both advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, online learning provides convenience and flexibility. Students can learn at their own pace and time, and they can access the course materials and resources anytime and anywhere they want. Moreover, online learning saves time and money on transportation and accommodation, especially for those who live far away from the school. In addition, online learning offers a wide range of courses and programs, which allows students to choose the ones that suit their interests and needs.On the other hand, online learning also has somedrawbacks. One of the biggest challenges is the lack offace-to-face interaction and communication. Students mayfeel isolated and disconnected from the teacher and other classmates, which may affect their motivation and engagement in learning. Another challenge is the self-discipline and time management required for online learning. Without the structure and routine of traditional classroom settings, students may find it difficult to stay focusedand organized, and they may procrastinate and fall behind.In my opinion, online learning is a valuable and effective way of learning, but it is not suitable for everyone. It requires self-motivation, self-discipline, and time management skills. Therefore, students who chooseonline learning should be prepared to take theresponsibility for their own learning and seek support and guidance when needed. Moreover, online learning should be complemented by offline activities and interactions, suchas group discussions, seminars, and field trips, to enhance the learning experience and social interaction.In conclusion, online learning has its pros and cons,and it is up to the individual to decide whether it is the right choice for them. As a student of distance education, I appreciate the convenience and flexibility of online learning, but I also recognize the importance of face-to-face interaction and communication. Therefore, I believe that a balanced and integrated approach to learning, combining online and offline activities, is the key to success in education.。

If you are invited to a Y uppie dinner party, don’t be surprised if you are offered freshly cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful managers are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks. These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young people are logging on to foreign food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great beauty. One day, insects would be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets. According to their fans of Y uppies, they are not only healthy, but also very tasty. But until our attitudes to food change, it seems that insects eaters will remain a select few.1. Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Y uppie dinner party?A. Because we might be offered a dish of freshly cooked insects as a first course.B. Because nothing but freshly cooked insects are served.C. Because some Y uppies like to horrify guests with insects as food.D. Because we might meet many successful managers in the media industry.2. Where can people order the unusual food mentioned by the speaker?A. From Y uppie clubs.B. In the supermarket.C. In the seafood market.D. On the Internet.3. Why are Y uppies attracted by the unusual food?A. It’s easy to prepare.B. It’s tasty and healthful.C. It’s exotic in appearance.D. It’s safe to eat.4. What does the speaker say about the future of this type of unusual food?A. It will be consumed by more and more young people.B. It will become the first course at dinner parties.C. It will have to be changed to suit local tastes.D. It is unlikely to be enjoyed by most people.5. Why did the author write such a passage?A. Look down upon Y uppies.B. Enjoy the life of Y uppies.C. Introduce the life of Y uppies.D. Want to be Y uppies.Passage2There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Marin V an Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President V an Buren was born, Kinderhook, New Y ork. V an Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported V an Buren was called “OK”.1. The author _______.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun2. According to the passage, President Jackson _______.A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t goon at reading, writing or spelling3. According to the first story, the term “OK” _______.A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell“all correct”4. According to the second story, the term “OK” _______.A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President V an Buren was bornC. was the name of V an Buren’s clubD. was used to call V an Buren’s supporters in the election5. According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used _______.A. by V an BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the“Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 3We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends — or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the wo rds. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “you’re a lucky guy” or “you’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But br inging in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does that he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes ? Minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.1. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _______.A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to himB. feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down2. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of “Y ou’re a lucky dog” to show that_______.A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB. this saying means the same as “Y ou’re lucky guy” or “Y ou’re a lucky gal”C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to apply to people3. This passage tries to tell you how to .A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. bring the “dog” bit into our conversationC. avoid mistakes in understanding that people tell youD. keep people friendly without trusting them4. In listening to a person, the important thing is .A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyesB. to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his postureD. not to believe what he says5. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would .A. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youB. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC. not lose real friends who say things that to not please youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to youPassage 4The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to V ersailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)1. What's this passage about?A. France.B. King Louis.C. The French RevolutionD. Europe.2.

开放大学英语b2过程性考核作业4最后作文Open University English B2 Process Assessment Assignment 4 Final EssayTitle: The Impact of Technology on EducationIntroductionIn recent years, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing various aspects of our society including education. With the advancement of technology, traditional educational methods have been transformed, creating new opportunities and challenges for students, teachers, and institutions. This essay will explore the impact of technology on education, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of integrating technology into the classroom.Advantages of Technology in EducationOne of the primary benefits of technology in education is the accessibility of information. The internet provides a wealth of resources for students to conduct research, access educational materials, and collaborate with peers from around the world. This allows students to learn at their own pace and explore topics that interest them beyond the confines of the classroom.Furthermore, technology facilitates personalized learning experiences through adaptive learning programs and online tutoring services. These tools can cater to individual learning styles and provide instant feedback to help students improve their understanding of complex concepts. Additionally, technology enhances communication between teachers and students, enabling them to interact in real-time through video conferencing, messaging apps, and virtual classrooms.Moreover, technology promotes interactive and engaging learning experiences through multimedia content, simulations, and educational games. These tools can make learning fun and engaging, motivating students to actively participate in their education. Additionally, technology enables teachers to create and share digital lesson plans, assignments, and assessments, streamlining the grading process and providing instant feedback to students.Disadvantages of Technology in EducationDespite the numerous advantages of technology in education, there are also some drawbacks to consider. One major concern is the digital divide, where students fromlow-income families or rural areas may not have access to the necessary technology and internet connection to fully benefitfrom online learning resources. This creates disparities in educational opportunities and can widen the achievement gap between students.Another disadvantage of technology in education is the potential for distraction and multitasking. With the prevalence of smartphones, tablets, and laptops in the classroom, students may be tempted to surf the internet, check social media, or play games instead of focusing on their studies. This can lead to reduced attention spans, poor academic performance, and a lack of engagement in the learning process.Furthermore, technology dependence can hinder critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as students may rely on search engines and online tools to provide quick answers instead of engaging in deep learning and analytical thinking. This can limit their ability to think creatively, analyze information independently, and develop a strong foundation of knowledge in various subjects.ConclusionIn conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on education, offering a wide range of benefits and challenges for students, teachers, and institutions. By harnessing the power of technology, educators can create innovative and interactivelearning environments that cater to the diverse needs of students and enhance their academic achievement. However, it is crucial to address the drawbacks of technology in education, such as the digital divide, distractions, and over-reliance on technology, to ensure that all students have equal access to quality education and develop essential skills for success in the digital age.。
