I am used to friendly opening exchanges when doing business. Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another of making money.All of this used to create a real for me. At first, it caused me to have as little with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.Your answers Correct answers1. appropriate appropriate2. rituals rituals3. convention convention4. leisurely leisurely5. abrupt abrupt6. assessed assessed7. perception perception8. means means9. dilemma dilemma10. interaction interactionI am frequently asked the question, "Can you use chopsticks (筷子)?" I have lived in Korea, Japan, and China. In each country, I have, than not and without having requested one, been given a fork one was available. I have politely refused and said that I would be fine with chopsticks. Sometimes, I have to make explanation.Chopsticks are my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant. In fact, learning to use chopsticks takes me a few weeks. This is not to say I was skillful, though. Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me, learning the rituals and how to myself at the table is quite difficult. times do I have to say "no, thank you" I really mean "no, thank you, I truly am full"? How do I get away with refusing more food without someone? If I insist and I still get more, is it appropriate just not to eat it? This would be where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my with the people have been great. I am aware that I will never be able to as much as I have received. I don't know how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.Your answers Correct answers1. more often more often2. when when3. further further4. the least of the least of5. how how6. nothing but nothing but7. whereas whereas8. conduct conduct9.

Hw went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around an d replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he’d paid, but I don’t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don’t have time. Can I havemy change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Why not just print money?What’s the solution to a recession, a time of little econom ic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Let’s see if this will work by using an example.Let’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let’s a lso pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what’ll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.1.T2.T3.F4.F5.FIV. Speaking OutModel 1 I want to blow it all.John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.Se-Jin: That sounds just like you, John! What do you want to buy?John: I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.John: But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!Now Your TurnA: Hey, do you want to come shopping with me? I just got some money from my part-time job, and I want to get rid of it right away.B: That’s your style. What do you want to buy?A: I don’t know…some fashionable clothes, maybe.B: If you waste all your money on things you don’t even know if you want, you’ll be out of money completely when you need it.A: But if I ju st hold on to my money…that doesn’t make much sense either. I really need some new clothes. What’s the point of saving lots of money without fun?B: As I see it, you need a person to look after your money.Model 2 Can money buy everything?Peter: I’m try ing to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.Jane: Well, there are plenty of peop le who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences. Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.Now Your TurnA: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I’d be as happy as a king.B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.A: Of course, why wouldn’t I? If I were a millionaire, there’s nothing I couldn’tbuy.B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable.A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don’t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness. Model 3 I wonder if you could give me a loan.John: Hey, Se-Jin, I was just on my way to find you.Se-Jin: What’s up, John?John: Se-Jin, I’m kind of broke, and you usually have a bundle tucked away. I wonder if you could give me a loan.Se-Jin: Dream on! I’m hard up myself.John: You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I’m just about a hundred short.Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?John: The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!S-Jin: John, I’d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn’t an emergency.John: Then I’m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.Now Your TurnA: Hi, I was trying to catch up with you.B: What happened?A: Money had burned a hole in my pocket. You usually have some savings. I wonder if you can lend me some money?B: You’re daydreaming. I’m short of money myself.A: Look, I want to buy a digital camera, and I’m only short of 150 bucks.B: Why not save towards it?A: The camera is on sale right now. This can save me almost 25 percent.B: Well, I’d lend you the money if you were in real redouble. But a new camera isn’t urgent.A: Then I’m afraid I’ll have to try someone who’s more generous.V. L et’s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.”He made her promise with all her heart that when he dies, she would pit all the money in the casket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got already to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. He friend said, “Girl, I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!”She said, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I promise him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.”“You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?”“I surely did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”more thanmoney casketpromisein the casketsitting blacknext to/besideclosea boxaway/offfoolish all that money/the moneya Christian on her wordput the moneya checkVI.

At noon, when the lunch bell rings, two thousand men and women immediately stop working and leave the building.“Your workers, they’re escaping!” cries the visitor. “You’ve got to stop them.”“Don’t worry, they’ll be back,” says the American. And indeed, an exactly one 0’clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.When the tour is over, the manufacturer t urn s to his guest and says, “Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?”“Forget the machines,” says the visitor. “How much do you want for that bell?”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 3: An Introduction to Credit CardsCredit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash. Many American don’t like to carry much ca sh. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use. Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.1.D2.C3.B4.C5.ASpeakingCan you change a twenty-dollar bill?Cashier: How can I help you, Miss?Jill: Could you change a 20 for me?Cashier: Sure.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When I was a kid, I read every comic book ever published. I quickly went through all of them in a couple of days, and then reread the good ones until the next issues arrived.But as I got older, my eyeballs must have slowed down! I mean comic books started to pile up faster than my brother Russell. It wasn't until much later did I realize it wasn't my eye balls that were to blame. They're still moving as well as ever. The problem is there's too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it.Now, besides novels and newspapers, I read different kinds of books and magazines. There are hundreds of techniques you could learn to help you read faster. But I know of three that are especially good.Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading, like long and hard magazine or newspaper articles. Read the entire first two paragraphs of whatever you've chosen. Next read only the first sentence of each successive paragraph. Then read the entire last paragraph. It can give you as much as half the comprehension in as little as one-tenth the time.Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like short and simple popular magazines or the sports and entertainment sections of the newspaper. Think of your eyes as magnets. Force them to move fast. Sweep each line and pick up only a few key words in each line.Clustering trains you to look at groups of words instead of one at a time to increase your speed and comprehension enormously. It is a totally different way of seeing what we read. Here's how to cluster: Train your eyes to see all the words in clusters of up to three or four words at a glance.With enough practice, you'll be able to handle more reading at school or work – and at home – in less time. You should even have enough time to read your favorite comic books.46.What did the writer realize later regarding his slowed-down eyeballs?A. His brother had more comic books than him.B. He couldn't read as fast as his brother.C. He couldn't finish reading all the comic books.D. He had too much to read but too little time to do it.47.Why is previewing especially useful for a heavy reading?A. You can read various kinds of books such as magazines.B. You can see the whole picture of a long reading in less time.C. You can understand the content completely within a short time.D. You can comprehend at least 50% of what you're reading.48.What is the use of the technique of skimming when you are doinglight reading?A. It enables you to read some entertaining books.B. It enables you to think like magnets.C. It helps you pick up key words.D. It helps you get the information you want.49.What's the most important advantage when you do clustering?A. It helps you read faster and understand better.B. It lets you read in a totally different way.C. It allows your eyes to pick up three to four words at a time.D. It trains your eyes to see all the words in the reading.50.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Moving your eyes fast gives you a general idea.B. It is necessary to choose different methods for different readings.C. Different reading skills should be used at the same time.D. You may read faster by using reading techniques.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Before computers were invented, the words byte and modem did not exist, and a mouse was something that made some people scream and run away. Words are added to language every day. Changes in society also cause changes in language.Changes in attitude also affect language. As people become more sensitive to the rights and needs of individual, it becomes necessary to change the words we use to describe them. The elderly are now called senior citizens. The handicapped are described as physically challenged. Many of the words we once used had negative feelings attached to them. New words show an awareness in today's society that differences are good and that everyone deserves respect. Even the names of certain jobs have changed so that workers can be proud of what they do. The trash man is now called a sanitation worker and a doorman is an attendant. One important influence on our language in the past decade has been the changing role of women in modern society. As women entered more and more areas that were once thought of as men's job, it became necessary to change the job titles. For example, a mailman is now a mail carrier, a watchman is a guard.Sometimes new words may seem awkward and silly, such as chair for chairman, fisher for fisherman, and drafter for draftsman. But change is never easy. People often fight change until it becomes a familiar part of everyday life.Women have fought long and hard to be treated equally in language as well as in society, because they know that changes in language can cause changes in attitudes. If every person isn't referred to as he, people will begin to realize that men aren't the only ones who are important or who have made great achievements. Most words that indicate only one gender have been replaced with words that refer to both males and females. Thus, a poetess is called a poet, a waitress is a server, and mankind has become humankind.51.Words are added to language ________.A. when new things are inventedB. when society changesC. when old words disappearD. all the time52.Words are changed because ________.A. it is part of everyday life.B. the handicapped should be proud of themselves.C. many old words cause negative feelings.D. some words look silly and awkward.53. A doorman is now called ________.A. attendantB. watchmanC. trash manD. server54.Which of the following is one important influence on our language inthe past decade according to the passage?A. The changing attitude toward the elderly.B. The changing job market.C. The changing role of women.D. The changing social opinions.55.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A. Language is always added with new vocabulary.B. Language changes with the changing of society.C. Changing language reflects the achievements of people.D. Changing language gives people more individual rights.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.People use more than just words to communicate. In fact, some researchers claim that less than half of a spoken message's real meaning is in the words used in the message. They say that most of a message's meaning comes from understanding how the speaker uses things like tone of voice and body language.Body language includes such things as the expression on the speaker's face, gestures that speaker makes with his or her hands, and the position of the speaker's body. Just as there are many different languages spoken around the world, there are many different ways for people to use body language, too. For example, gestures may imply different meanings in different cultures. Making a "thumbs up" sign in America means, "Great!" However, in Arab cultures, this gesture is extremely offensive.Although many gestures can be interpreted differently by different cultures, there are also many gestures that are almost universally interpreted in the same way. For example, by and large, a smile is understood as a sign of friendship or good will around the world. Also, using an open hand to gesture toward something is viewed as polite or friendly in most cultures.There are also some forms of body language that can be universally read with the meaning, "I am interested in you" or "I like you." Sometimes this kind of body language is used unconsciously between two people. These signs of interest include standing or sitting with both feet flat on the ground, mirroring or using the same gestures as the other person, and turningone's body to fully face the other person.Body language experts point out one important thing. The person's culture is only one factor that can influence his or her use of body language. The time and place where the body language is being used can have a lot to do with a person's body language. If the person has had a bad day or if a meeting takes place in a crowded place, the body language a person uses may be very different from under other circumstances.56.According to the passage, more than half of a spoken message's realmeaning comes from ________.A. words used in the messageB. things used in the messageC. the speaker's tone of voiceD. the speaker's tone and body language57.The second paragraph describes ________.A. an example of a gesture not used in IndiaB. different meanings of gestures in different culturesC. how gestures can change the meaning of wordsD. useful gestures in Arab cultures58.If a person starts copying your body language, what does thissuggest?A. He/She is interested in you.B. He/She isn't interested in you.C. He/She doesn't agree with you.D. He/She agrees with you.59.People may use different body languages ________.A. only in different placesB. only at different timeC. under different circumstancesD. under few circumstances60.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Body language is an important part of communication.B. Body language is affected by culture.C. Body language can be extremely offensive.D. Body language can tell you whether people like you.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Grammar is an aspect of language about which learners have different opinions. Some learners are very interested in finding out or learning grammar rules and doing lots of grammar exercises. Others hate grammar and think it is the most boring part of learning a new language. Whatever opinion you have, however, you cannot escape from grammar; it is in every sentence you read or write, speak or hear. Grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a language. We need those rules in the same way as we need the rules in a game. If there are no rules, or if everybody follows their own rules, the game would soon break down. It's the same with language; without rules we would not be able to communicate with other people.So you cannot escape from grammar, but the key question here is: What is the best way to learn grammar? You can learn the rules of a game by simply playing the game. You will certainly make mistakes; you may even get hurt. Eventually, however, you will know how to play. Of course, the rules of a language are very much more complicated than the rules of any game, but in fact this is exactly how you learned your own language. Nobody taught you the rules of your mother tongue as you were growing up but now you never make a grammar mistake.Most people learning a new language do not have so much time and such an ideal situation. So, there is no easy answer to the question. There are just as many different opinions about teaching grammar as there are about learning grammar. Many teachers believe in the importance of grammar lessons devoted to a study of language rules and lots of practice exercises. Other teachers feel that grammar is best learned by doing different language activities without focusing so directly on the rules. Whatever your opinion about grammar and whichever is the way you are taught, you need to use different strategies to help you learn grammar more effectively.61.How is grammar defined in the passage?A.

There are different ways to learn grammar.Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Gender differences are also reflected in the ways that men and women use language. In junior high school, Joy's status will depend on her circle of friends. If her friends are popular, then Joy may enjoy high status at schools. For this reason, Joy and many other girls are interested in gossip, talking about other people and their private lives. If Joy has some information to share about a popular girl at school, this proves that she has a friendship with this girl. In this way Joy can use gossip to gain more status in her school.Tommy, on the other hand, may be less interested in gossip. His status doesn't depend on who his friends are at school. Tommy gains status through his own ability to play sports well or earn high grades. Later in life, Joy may continue to be interested in talking about other people and their lives. Tommy will be less interested in personal talk and more concerned with discussions of sports and news. These give him a chance to gain status by showing others his knowledge.Different ways of speaking are part of gender. As adults, men and women sometimes face difficulties in their communication with each other. Studies of communication show that if a woman tells her husband about a problem, she will expect him to listen and offer sympathy. She may be annoyed when he simply tells her how to solve the problem. Similarly, a husband may be annoyed when his wife wants to stop and ask a stranger for directions to a park or restaurant. Unlike his wife, he would rather use a map and find his way by himself.Language is also part of the different ways that men and women think about friendship. Most men believe that friendship means doing things together such as camping or playing tennis. Women, on the other hand, usually identify their best friend as someone with whom they talk frequently. Moreover, they often use tag questions to get agreement from their friends. If men and women can understand their differences, they may be able to improve their relationships.66.Why are girls interested in gossip?A. Gossip teaches them how to act.B. Gossip allows them to use commands.C. Gossip brings them high status.D. Gossip helps them know about their friends.67.What do some boys want to prove by discussing sports?A. They are knowledgeable.B. They are more masculine.C. They are interested in sports.D. They are not interested in personal talking.68.What will a woman expect her husband to do if she tells him about aproblem?A. Tell her how to solve the problem.B. Listen and show sympathy to her.C. Talk about the problem with her.D. Solve the problem for her.69.Men usually show friendship by ________.A. doing things togetherB. agreeing with each otherC. talking together oftenD. camping or playing tennis together70.What message does the writer want to send out?A. Both men and women should speak directly.B. Talking to women is easier than talking to men.C. There are many differences between men and women.D.

10Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers' personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that "seeing the calligrapher's handwriting is like seeing the person". As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world's treasure house of culture and art.补充翻译：Although many students seem allergic to English and always get lost in English learning, they still feel obliged to learn it well. Then how can teachers make students’ journey of English learning enjoyable? Effective, precise, and beneficial communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary. Thus, for the students with language deficit and should learn from scratch, it does make sense to teach them the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary. Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a well-conditioned car. One should often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Equipped with these two essential assets, students will surely become attached to English and have excellent control in their journey of English learning.Text B2 1.D 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C 6.B 7.C D4 1.mysterious 2.desperate 3.devise 4.negotiate 5.recalled 6.specifically 7.depict 8.ignorance 9.expand 10.confusion5 1.apply to 2.in a bid to 3.end up 4.Speaking of 5.get hold of 6.appealed to7.Leaving… behind 8.focus on8 1.essential framework 2.proper vocabulary 3.excellent control nguage deficit 5.high standards nguage proficiency 7.acquire knowledge petent communication 9.overcome deficiencies 10.sketch thoughts 11.effective communication 12.advanced vocabularyText A3 1.promotes 2.accelerate 3.mystery 4.insight 5.boost 6.analysis 7.calculate 8.barriers 9.destruction 10.protest5 1.excess 2.bearing 3.objective 4.intensify 5.execute 6.promising 7.exclude 8. identity 9. offend 10.housing6 1.C 2.

Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to getfamiliar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt, there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.完形填空I am frequently asked the question ,”Can you use chopsticks”I have lived in Korea ,Japan and China .In each country , I have ,more often than not and without having requested one ,been given a fork when one was available .I have politely refused and said that I would be fine with chopsticks .Sometime, I have to make further explanation.Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant .In fact ,learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks .This is not to say I was skillful, though .Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me ,whereas learningthe rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult .Just how many times do I have to say ”no ,thank you”when I really mean”no ,thank you ,I truly am full ”?How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone ?If I insist and I still get more ,is it appropriate just not to eat it ?This would be impolite where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great .I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.Unit2汉译英1. 尽管她是家里的独生女，她父母也从不溺爱她。

We can tell from fossil evidence in rocks that many living species have no longer been in existence over the millions of years since life began. It is a natural process, and dying out is the fate of any animal that has specialized too much to change with its changing environment, or has to compete with a better adapted and more powerful animal. Because of wonderful technical developments during the past few centuries, man has destroyed or has nearly destroyed some species by killing them at such a rate that they couldn't produce enough young, or by completely changing their natural environment at surprising speed.Examples can be given of the way in which natural environments are being rapidly changed. There is every possibility that many species of animals will die out because of their disappearing food source. Large numbers of animals have been hunted and killed for food. The North American buffalo (水牛) is a case of the near-dying-out species through hunting. Often the numbers are so great that the hunters may not realize the danger; or the financial rewards for the hunters may be so great that they choose to pay no attention to the threat to species.Many people are concerned about animals and wildlife protection. One way to protect species from the threat of dying out is to place animals in zoos and parks and breed them there. Another method is to protect the animals in their natural environment by creating wildlife protection areas and parks and using police to look after them. But the parks are large, the police are few, and the determination of hunters is very great. Early in 1980s, police and hunters clashed in East Africa. The hunters were armed with modern weapons, and several people were killed.There is great pleasure in watching wildlife in natural or near-natural environments, and tourism can add to the income of countries. The animals are still resources-but in a very different form.DDDABAccording to the passage, when will animal species become extinct (灭绝)? When it suffers aA. disease it has never known before.B. When it has been in existence for too many years.C. When it has a death rate that is made faster by man.D. When it produces babies slower than the death rate.What might happen to an animal species if it specialized too much?A. It might produce more young.B. It might compete even better.C. It might be forced to change.D. It might die out in the end.One way to protect species from the threat of dying out is to _________.A. build up walls to isolate animals in nature from peopleB. put all the hunters into prison and keep them thereC. educate people in general to protect animals wellD. place animals in zoos and breed them there safelyHow do wildlife protection areas protect endangered animals?A. They use police help to protect them.B. They prevent hunters from killing them.C. They make the areas like natural places.D. They provide the animals with much food.Why do tourists go to places where they can watch wildlife?A. They can add to the income of troubled countries.B. They can make themselves happy by seeing animals.C. They can encourage the growth of natural places.D. They can make use of animal resources more often.Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night and you couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried?You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get any sleep at all—they stayed awake all night. The next day,Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a box be put to?"The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly.Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the tired students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, "even if you think harder, you cannot do better."This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airplane pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.ACDADAccording to the passage, failure to think of new ideas may be _____________.A. caused by a lack of sleepB. caused by hard questionsC. caused by a weak brainD. caused by too much studyTired people have no problem with _____________________.A. finding uses for boxesB. making creative ideasC. doing simple math testsD. taking research testsThe purpose for offering money to the tired students was to _____________.A. help them repair their brainsB. stimulate their interestsC. convince people to joinD. encourage them to do betterSleep might help people by ________________.A.repairing the brainB. giving creative dreamsC. providing fresh energyD. allowing harder thoughtThis information is useful to people like nurses and pilots because _____________.A. they often meet situations in which they must be creativeB. they often take tests to display their abilities to do their jobsC. they often go to the hospital because of brain problemsD. they often get little sleep but make important decisionsIt might be surprising for some people to believe that, in today's computer-and-Internet-driven society, there are some book publishers that are still committed to traditional books. Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.ADCABWhat about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?A. The company is committed to publishing books.B. The company is selling Internet encyclopedias.C. The company is still open after so many years.D. The company is planning to quit making books.What will make the 2001 set of books different from the other sets?A. It will be the most sold.B. It will be like the 18th-century one.C. It will be on the Internet.D. It will be the largest set.Why have some people suggested that the company stop printing books?A. Because people are no longer buying many encyclopedias.B. Because demand around the world is for ink and paper books.C. Because electronic encyclopedias have become so successful.D. Because Paul Hoffman has turned his back on printing books.What makes the Encyclopedia Britannica's books special?A. They are used more than any other encyclopedias.B. They are used more for study than for doing research.C. They are used in schools and many library collections.D. They are used in many research papers by students.Why are more people buying electronic encyclopedias than book encyclopedias?A. Electronic encyclopedias contain more.B. Electronic encyclopedias cost less money.C. Electronic encyclopedias take up less room.D. Electronic encyclopedias have new ideas.Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities.
