What’s your spare time gig? Clubs and societies? Sports? Basketball? Come on, guys! We are the best of CUBA! (I love this game!) Prefer to stay in the dorm listening to music? What’s that? Air Supply or Backstreet Boys? Party time again. Meet people and make new friends. Oh? You’d rather just hang out? You won’t be bored anyhow …2. 体验英语综合1 Unit4 Lead inHow do you understand the idea of living on your own? You may have felt very much on your own when you left home to enter college. A free bird out of its cage, now, eh? Is it really so? Think again. Are you able to pay the tuition by yourself? Can you really take care of all your daily needs? "I sure can. It's a snap," some might say. "Just find a part-time job, and everything will be OK." Others may find traditional college life quite safe and convenient. Are you ready to take the risk?3. 体验英语综合1 Unit5 Lead inWhat are your key sources of information? Do you get most of your information by talking to other people? People could already do that in the Stone Age. When the printing press was invented several hundred years ago, written sources became important to anyone who could read. Now we read magazines and newspapers as much as we read books. But we also get a lot of information from electronic sources. Radio is not yet 100 years old, television has only been popular for about 50 years, and the Internet is younger than all the students in this class. Yet these are some of our favorites. What are your favorites? How many different sources of information do you use in a typical day?4. 体验英语综合1 Unit6 Lead inThe modern Olympics occur every four years. This is one of the biggest and most important events in the world. V olunteers contribute greatly to its success. They offer services in various ways, such as transportation, catering, ticket sales, room attendants, etc. Have you had any previous experience as a volunteer, perhaps only locally? Are you willing to do any volunteering when the Olympics come to Beijing? If so, what kind of volunteer work would you prefer?5. 体验英语综合1 Unit7 Lead inImprove your study skills. Discover new learning strategies.Here are several reasons why. You canget better grades.get a better job.have more free time.Sounds great, doesn’t it? Read this unit and get some useful tips Approach learning from different, viewpoints and you can be a Master Student.6. 体验英语综合1 Unit8 Lead inYoung people often dream of love and listen to love songs. One love song says “Love makes the world go round,” and another says “Love is all there is.”These words may sound too romantic. Love is important, but so are other relationships. That’s why we sing “Auld Lang Syne” to honor our friends.What are your views of love and friendship, and what do you expect of them in the future? Do you know a song that describes your own dreams of love or friendship? If a love song or rosy dream could come true in your relationships, what would it be?。

Read the 2 passages and do the following exercises.Passage 1Communication between villages and the nearest town was poor. Roads were bad; there was some attempt to keep them in order, but as each parish (教区) was responsible for its own section of the road, the state of repair depended on the enthusiasm of the parish officers. There was, however, little wheeled traffic except for farm coaches used by men of wealth. Most traffic was by means of pack horses. Travelers rode on horseback or walked.Since communication was so difficult, the local markets, held weekly at the nearest town, or the fairs, held annually at the greater cities, became important places for the exchange of goods of all kinds.1. The passage is primarily about______.A) traveling B) roads C) market D) communication2. The author's conclusion that local markets and fairs were important is based on his statement that______.A) communication between villages and towns was poorB) there was little wheeled trafficC) exchanges of goods took place at the marketsD) markets and fairs were often held3. Most traffic was not wheeled because______.A) most people could not afford this means of travelB) coaches were uncomfortableC) horses were better than coachesD) roads were so bad4. Poor roads were probably so because of______.A) politics on a parish levelB) the competition between parishesC) the lack of trafficD) the lack of enthusiasm of local authorities5. The author's statement about the important of markets and fairsis______.A) a conclusion he draws on the basic of his main thoughtB) an interesting fact he includesC) apparently contrary to the main thoughtD) a proof he uses to establish his main thoughtPassage 2There is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influentialfriends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors. This injustice demoralized the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.All the same, we should not be pessimistic. More and more, the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their face fits. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine, which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped it, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, "This can't be right! $100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer" The engineer wrote out a new bill: "For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap it, $ 99."6. It is believed that some people have succeeded in life because______.A) they feel superior to othersB) they are both influential and powerfulC) they have some special advantagesD) they have a poor background7. The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because______.A) it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleaguesB) her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the jobC) the man who got his promotion was more experienced than she wasD) her bosses did not approve of her political views and opinions8. The engineer who repaired the machine was right to charge $100because______.A) he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with itB) the factory owner could not have repaired it himselfC) he hit the machine to get it started againD) he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills9. The author's attitude toward the widespread belief is______.A) positive B) negative C) neutral D) sympathetic10. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUEA) Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.B) The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.C) Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.D) Those who are good in their job are still largely needed by the modern society.。

大学英语17音体美本科阅读理解SectionCpassageone试题及参考答案17级音体美本科阅读理解Section C Passage One试题17级音体美阅读理解Section C Passage One试题第一套Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One.There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work，just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine(内燃机)has something to do with burning fuel，expanding gases and pistons (活塞)being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further，students might be helped by a course that considers the computer‘s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy (读写能力);it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun，and while our society needs some people who are experts at it，the same is true of autorepair and violin-making.Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult，and it gets easier all the time as programs become mor e “user-friendly”。

I was only 14, and atfirst I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But aftertwo weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends - but onlyfriends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls saidI was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Sevenmonths after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some studentsto join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I'dalready won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list cameout and it didn't include me. I was sad. Mr. Wang came to me and sai d, "Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe you're a little distant from the girls in our class. They don't know much aboutyou, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you'll make it next time."36. What was the writer's problem when she first entered the boarding school?A、 She didn't like her new school.B、 She didn't get along well with her classmates.C、 She missed her family very m uch.D、She didn't like her new teacher.37.

Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helpsthe body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University."It seems that positiv e feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen's interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. Buy for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health, look on the bright side more often.40. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. People talked about their feelings every day.B.

Cause of colds foundC. The danger of coldsD. How people get sick( C )During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, "Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a longjourney, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from mo rning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so many years went by.44. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.A. escape in itB. get to the other side of the islandC. use it for foodD. go around the island45.

Why didn't the writer use his first canoe?A. Because it was too small for a long journey.B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.C. Because there was something wrong with it.D.

He climbed out. One of the firemen was running up the road， but he was more than a hundred metres away from the burning car. He would never get to Dave in time.Tim‘s racing suit would not burn for about a minute even in the hottest fire. He ran to the burning car. He could see Dave in his seat with his head on the wheel. Tim took a dee p breath and stepped into the fire. He took hold of Dave’s arms， pulled him out of the car and put him on the grass. Before the fireman reached him， he had Dave‘s helmet off， but Dave was no longer breathing.“We must get him away from here，” the firem an said，“It‘s too dangerous.” He tried to push Tim to one side.“Nobody‘s moving him.” Tom said，and shook off the fireman’s hand. “Nobody‘s moving him until a doctor comes.”48.

He wanted to sa y more but the east wind blew right down his throat whenever he tried to speak.“You don‘t feel the cold so much at twenty below zero out in the Western Country. There’s none of this coldness，” he said，adding. “ and wetness.”“You‘ll have a cold d rive going back，” he said anxiously， and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible.

Reading Comprehension: Questions 1 to 20 are based on the following passages (20%).PassageⅠBeijing’s hutongs, lanes that run between old-fashioned court homes (siheyuan), help visitors appreciate Beijing’s ancient culture and folklore. Each hutong is a window into the true lives of Beijingers and the major changes that have happened in the city over the past few centuries. Many courtyard house dwellers are open-mindedand hospitable, and some continue to follow Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) social etiquette. They maintain a close community, which high-rise apartments dwellers cannot understand.Beijing’s hutongs first appeared during the Yuan Dynasty. Originally, a single family lived in a single courtyard house, but now a courtyard house is shared by many families. Some houses have been modernized, and many remain relatively unchanged, still using coal-burning stoves and public toilets.By tradition, courtyard house gates are at southeastern, northwestern, or northeastern corners. Steps at the front gates are high, the doors are painted deep red, and behind the front gate is a large screen wall to prevent passers-by from looking directly into the courtyard. The front of the wall is brick or stone carvings that show happiness and good fortune, and the back is engraved with poems or poetic couplets.Outsiders may wonder how many hutongs are in Beijing. Locals usually say there are 360 major hutongs and countless minor ones in Beijing. Sources indicate that there are over 4,550 major and minor lanes throughout the city. Hutongs are concentrated in central Beijing -- in Dongcheng District, Xicheng District, Chongwen District and Xuanwu District.1.Many Hutong courtyard house dwellers are__________.A. friendlyB. sociableC. hostileD. close2.Beijing Hutongs first appeared in _________ Dynasty.A. SongB. YuanC. MingD. Qing3.The feature that some Hutong houses remain is_________.A.People still use public toilets and coal-burning stovesB.One family lives in each yard house.C.Many families live in each yard house.D.The gates are at southwestern, northwestern, or northeastern corners.4.The large screen wall is to____________.A.show brick or stone carvings.B.be carved with poems or poetic couplets.C.prevent passers-by from looking directly into the courtyard.D.show the owner’s wealth5.According to locals, there are __________minor Hutongs in Beijing.A.4550B. countlessC. 360D. manyPassageⅡWhile the rest of the world carried on cycling during the 1950s and 1960s, Americans forgot how; even high-school children would drive to school. Recently there has been a new interest in cycling, and in many areas is a very useful way of getting around, especially where bike paths or bike routes have been built. Y ou may well want to buy, hire or borrow a bike.There are two important consequences of this earlier drop in cycling in the USA. One is that many people do not know how to cycle. That is, cyclists often behave more like pedestrians than motorists: they ride on the sidewalk or on the wrong side of the road; they do not care for stop signs or traffic lights; they ride without lights at nights; they give no hand signals. The other consequence is that cycling is regarded by many people not so much as a way of getting from one place to another but as a way of life, a form of exercise, etc. As a result, large a number of young Americans have ten-speed racing bikes. These are very high and fast and great if you are cycling long distances, riding up mountains or racing. At first, though, you may find them awkward, for cycling in town, sightseeing or shopping—they are expensive, uncomfortable and hard to control until you get used to them, and unsuitable for rough stony roads.There are also ordinary bikes around. If you get hold of one of these, you may find that the brakes work by pedaling backwards. This is perhaps safer than ordinary brakes when it is wet, but it seems to be less effective. This arrangement also means you can’t pedal backwards in order to get the pedals in the right place for getting on or moving off.6.The passage gives us a brief introduction to _____ .A.advantages of bikesB.cycling in AmericaC.American transportationD.How to ride a bike7.Y oung Americans prefer racing bikes because they______.A.can help people keep fitB.are easy to learnC.are safer to rideD.are expensive and popular8.Which of the following is NOT right?A.Cyclists do not care for traffic lights.B.People ride on the wrong side of the roads.C.Cycling is not considered a way of transportation.D.People have to pedal backwards to stop the bike.9.From the passage we can learn that in the middle of the 20th century ______ .A.many Americans enjoyed cyclingB.cycling was popular in the worldC.racing bikes were better than ordinary onesD.there were no special roads for bikes in America10.When an American begins to ride bicycle to buy things, he may think it ___.fortableB.very suitable for rough stony roadsC.difficult to controlD.faster and saferPassageⅢThe famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see the hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“ No, Sir.” the men answered.The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well, sir,” one of the men answered. “We’re on the east coast here and the sunsets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want the sunset!”the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.” But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise?” She suggested. “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset. ”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a be autiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “ Here it is, sir.” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio. “ All right.” the director explained. “Now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.11.One evening the director sent his camera crew out_________.A. to watch a beautiful sunsetB. to find an actor and an actressC. to film a scene on the seaD. to meet the audience12.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A.

That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room .He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took picture of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple .The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many picture of great people .The picture were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的). Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century.

It will also be able to translate any language for you too. It?s just one more incredible result of the development of micro-processors—those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as “silicon chips”（硅片）. So give up going to classes, stop buying more textbooks and relax. In a couple of years you won?t need the international language of English.Already Texas Instruments in the United States is developing an electronic translation machine. Imagine a Spanish secretary, for example, who wants to type a letter from the boss to a businessman in Sweden. All he or she will have to do is this: first type the letter in Spanish. The letter will appear on a television screen. After afew seconds the translated letter will appear on another television screen in Stockholm in perfect Spanish. And that?s not all. Soon a computer will be able to teach you English, if you really want to learn the language. You?ll sit in front of a tele vision screen and practice endless structures. The computer will tell you when you are correct and when you are wrong. It will even talk to you because the silicon chips can change electrical impulses into sounds. And clever programmers can predict the responses you, the learner, are likely to make.So think of it. You will be able to teach yourself at your own pace. You will waste very little time, and you can work at home. And if after all that, you still can?t speak English you can always use the translating machine. In a few years, therefore, perhaps there will be no need for BBC Modern English, or BBC English by Radio programs—no more textbooks or teachers of English. Instead of buying an exciting new textbook, the computer will ask you to replace it with microprocessor one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four. Fast, reliable and efficient language learning and translating facilities will be available to you. Think of that no more tears or embarrassing moments. One little problem is that a compute r can?t laugh yet—but the scientists are working on it. Happy learning!21.T he title “Push-button English” suggest __________________.a.English can be leant by pushing a buttonb.A computer is an English-learning machinec.English can be taught and learn by using a computer.*d.English is not so difficult to learn22..According t o the writer, “you won?t need the international language of English”because ________________.a.learning English will no longer be a difficult taskb.textbooks are no longer necessaryc.it?s bet ter to buy a computer than to go to classesd.the computer will be able to translate any language for you.*23.

It was just on closing time and the shutters were already up in front. Normally there were few customers after five, and the half hour before he shut shop wasmainly devoted to getting orders ready for the morning and entering up the accounts. Of course it might be Maureen, who had lately developed a habit of coming into the shop just before closing time and so making sure that Eddie did not escape her for the evening.With a sigh Eddie put down his pen and came out from the back and went behind the counter. As he did so, he was turning over in his mind what possible excuse he could offer to Maureen for not spending the evening with her. If only Maureen would accept the excuse of a headache or pressure of work. But she would want to stay and fuss over him if he said a headache, and as for work, she was always bothering him to move into a district where there was more business than in Candlewick Street. “ Why is it,” thought Eddie, “that she can?t leave me alone for one evening? Doesn?t it ever occur to her that I?d like a bit of time to myself?”There was a woman in the shop and a man standing with his back half turned towards the counter. The woman was Maureen, he didn?t recollect ever having seen her before, but there was something vaguely familiar about the way the man was standing. It reminded him of the bare white-washed walls of St. Matthews Hospital and Sam Lewis standing with his back towards Eddie staring out of the window.26. From the story we understand that _____________________.a.it was nearly five o?clock in the afternoonb.Eddie had just closed his shopc.Eddie always closed the shop at 4:30d.It was almost closing time.*27.

His soon had done well in business there and wanted him to spend his remaining years with them.The old gentleman knew no language except his own but, with the self-confidence of the Greek mountain villager, he madehis way easily about the foreign ship. When the bell announced the serving of lunch on his first day on board he found the number of his table on the passenger-list outside the dinning room and went straight to it while most of the others waited for the chief steward to tell them where to sit.It was a small table for two. Mr. Phanourakis sat down. After a few moments his table companion arrived. “Bon appetit, m?sieur,” he murmured politely, as he took the other chair. “Phanourakis,” he said, carefully spacing out the Greek syllables.During the afternoon one of the ship?s officers, who spoke some Greek , asked the old gentleman if he had found any acquaintances on board.Mr. Phanourkis shook his head. “No,” he said, “:the only person I?ve met so far is my table companion. He must be French. His name is Bonapetit—or something like that.”“That is not his name,? said the officer. “It is a French expression that means …Good appetite?”.At dinner time he found the Frenchman already at the table. He smiled shyly, s at down, and said carefully, “Bon appetit, m?sieur.”The Frenchman return his smile. “Phanourakis, m?sieur,” he said.31.
