Dr Coleman started his sabbatical leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields and barns, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches, in Atlanta, Georgia, after that, the college president washed dishes in a boston restaurant, during the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.This unusual sabbatical leave was conducted in great secrecy. Coleman telephoned his family once a week,'just to let some know where i was and that i was healthy.' none of his students or co-workers at Haverford College knew what their president was doing. on each job he avoided letting people know who he was. 'when people would ask me about myself, i'd try to turn the conversation back to them,' he explained. 'some co-workers might have thought i was a little different, a little quiet maybe, but i doubt anyone knew i was a college president.'there was only one employer who sensed something unusual. 'at a restaurant in boston, i had been on the job exactly one hour-- i was washing dishes--when the boss came over and said,'I'm afraid you won't do.' and handed me two dollars. immediately i asked him why, but he just said,' it's not your work. sorry.'that was the frist time in more than thirty years as a job holder that Coleman had heard such words. it helped him understand how a man of his age might feel when he suddenly realizeed he had lost his job.after two months of working with his hands,Coleman returned from his unusual sabbatical leave, convinced that the experience had been worthwhile. he had some good things to say about people who do hard physical work.'a lot of my co-workers would complain when they was too heavy,' he said, 'but they'd complain a lot more when there was nothing to do.'he found that pride and satisfaction came chiefly in the form of praise from co-workers. even though pay was important, what brought the greatest satisfaction was known that someone had noticed how a job was being done.at the end of the sabbatical leave Dr Coleman felt that his time had been well spent. he now believes that every young person should be required to spend at least half a year in the world of work before starting university studies.Unit 3The life story of Ernest HemingwayDr Chu and His superconductorPablo picassoUnit 4a conversation sleeping habitsPART A Sleeping HabitsWoman good morning, sir.Man Er, good morning.Woman i wonder if you'd like to answer a few questions.Man well er...Woman we're doing a market survey.Man that depends, what sorts of questions are they, eh?Woman well, it's questions about your sleeping habits.Man sleeping habits?Woman Mm.Man well, i suppose that's all right. yes , well, what do you want to know?Woman right, Um, what would you do if you heard a strange noise in the middle of the night?Man i'd wonder what it was, er, i suppose, and then i'd um, see if it happened again.Woman Mm.Man i would lie awake a little while. waiting to see if it happened again, and if it did ----i suppose i'd get up...Woman Mm.Man and go and see what it was.Woman very courageous.um, if you, if you can't get to sleep at night, er, what do you, what do you do?have you a special method?Man well, i generally go to sleep straight away. i don't have any trouble getting to sleep.Woman Mm.Man well. if i do have... occasionally, happens about once every six months, i suppose, that i can't go to sleep and then i, er, i lie awake and i, um, think about things.Woman Mm, Mm. think about things. and, er, what about before going to bed? what do you do before you go to bed?Man well. i , it all depends, er. if i 've been out i, i, don't do anything. i just come home and go straight to bed. i clean my teeth, ha , ha.Woman Mm, good, good.Man that's one thing i do before i go to bed.

It said the inventor probably lived in the town of Pisa, Italy, around 1286, and he was almost certainly a craftsman working in glass. But nobody know this much about the inventor because on a Wednesday morning in February 1306 when Friar Giordano gav e a sermon at a church in Florence, he said, ‘It is not yet twenty years since there was found the art of making eye-glasses which make for good vision.’ He also said, ‘I have seen the man who first invented and created it, and I have talked to him.’ We know Friar said this because admirers copied his sermons down as he gave them.The inventor of spectacles kept the method of making them to himself. But the idea soon got around. As early as 1300, craftsmen in Venice were only shaped for far-sighted people. The lenses for short-sighted people were not developed until the late 15th century.Spectacles allowed people to go on reading and studying long after bad eyesight would normally have forced them to give up. They were like a new pair of eyes. Everyone thought the inventor of such a valuable thing should be honored. But for centuries no one had any idea who the inventor really was. So all kinds of candidates were put forward: Dutch,English, German, Italian. A fake memorial was erected last spectacles—but he never even existed!It is only recently that the researchers have dug back through the records, pushed away all the stories and legends, and they have found the man whose name they do not know and to whom Friar talked, probably lived in Pisa, nearly seven hundred years ago. One researcher wrote, ‘The world has found lenses on its nose without knowing whom to thank.’ Can you believe it?A new kind of contact lenses has recently been invented in America. Disposable contacts, as they come to be called, have hit the market after extended-wear contact lenses. Disposable contacts can be worn without being removed, then thrown away and replaced by a fresh pair. Dr Jack Hartstein, eye specialist at the Washing ton University, says: ‘If disposable lenses are worn properly, they are safer and more convenient than extended-wear lenses.’ He also says: ‘Many eye specialists are increasingly reluctant to prescribe extended-wear lenses.’ To allow oxygen to reach the cornea, the transparent out coat of the eyeball, extended-wear lenses contain up to 70 percent water. But the water also absorbs bacteria, irritants and protein which can result in cloudy vision, infection and cornea ulcers.Disposable lenses cost about $365 for the first year and $280 there-after, but competition will drive the price down. Extended-wear lenses range from approximately $150 to more than $400, but need replacing once or twice a year. Dr Hartstein estimates that users of disposable lenses will save at least $100 a year on cleansing solutions. And there is no need for insurance to cover lost or damaged lenses.Unit 1Telephone message for Mr dawsonImportant messageAre you ringing about partyUnit 2Dr coleman’s sabbatical leaveA funny thing happened to meMy experience in a restaurantUnit 3The life story of Ernest Hemingway;Dr. chu and his superconductorPablo picassoUnit 4Sleeping habitsCats are creatures of habitIs the sleepwalker actually awake or asleep Unit 5A new way of lifeFarmers’ life in the usThe healthiest lifestyle in the worldUnit 6Do it yourselfA conversation I believe in do it yourself A compound dictationUnit 7The invention of spectaclesA passage contact lensesUnit 8Long distance friendshipAn act of friendshipUnit 9Mysteries of the seaHow animals protect themselves The resources of the seaUnit 10Things we never saidYoung darwinSurviving a plane crash。

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 51to 55are based on the following passageIt would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying thebenefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay S 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.51. According to the passage, public goods are ___A___.A) services enjoyed by all people .B) what we can buy and sell in public .C) products that we make for national defenseD) taxes paid by the people involved52 The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that ____C__.A) there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB) all the people should be responsible for national defenseC) a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD) some public goods are more important than others53 The person who does not pay for a public good __D____.A) keeps himself from using its benefitB) cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC) fails to keep its benefit from being usedD) enjoys its benefit all the same54. In the third paragraph the author explains __A____.A) what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB) how weak the market system is in producing public goodsC) why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD) what we can do to make use of the market system55. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to ___A____.A) ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB) reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC) get extra money to support public goodsD) remind people of their dutyPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passageSummers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing –the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father accepted their criticism. He decided to institute a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡游) in my father’s 18-foot knockabout. WE spent the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see clearly across the water in the distance.56. What was the original reason for holding the summer school? BA) Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religion.B) The father wanted the children to learn more about religion.C) The children got poor grades in their regular school.D) The regular school teachers neglected the children.57. The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to _B__.A) have fun.B) test the author’s sailing abilityC) reward the author for completing summer schoolD) get to the island.58. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise? AA) She had to demonstrate her ability to do so.B) She was afraid of getting lost.C) The coast was dangerous.D) The tides were strong.59. How long did the author’s cruise last? BA) all summer. B) a week. C) overnight D) one day, morning till night.60. Apparently a knockabout is_C__.A) an island B) a cruise C)a boat D) a seaman’s knot.Passage ThreeQuestions 61to 65 are based on the following passageAmerica is a country on the move. People of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly--up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 year ago. Even non-exercises believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The advantages of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everything, from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running hasleveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise. As the popularity of exercise continues to rise, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits.61. How many American adults were doing regular exercises two years ago? CA) About 70%. B) Nearly 60%. C) Almost 50%. D) More than 12%.62. A growing interest in sports developed after ___A___.A) research showed their health benefitsB) people got the message from magazine covers and postage stampsC) scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV adsD) an increasing number of races were held in American cities63. The phrase “leveled off” (Para.2. Line 6)probably means ___D___.A) “become very popular”B) “stopped being popular”C) “reached its lowest level in popularity”D) “stopped increases in popularity”64. It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ___C___.A) are yet to be provedB) are to be further studiedC) are supported by scientific evidenceD) are self-evident65. The best TITLE for the passage is __B____.A) Different Forms of ExerciseB) Exercise-The Road to HealthC) Scientific Evidence of Health BenefitsD) Running-A Popular Form of SportPassage FourQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passageThe Internet has often been described as the biggest communications revolution since the printed book. But not too long ago it was a secretive field enjoyed by a few select individuals. These days, however, things have changed for the better, and it is now a thriving(繁荣) community with many millions of people exchanging information, ideas and opinions. The development of easier connections, more user-friendly software and cheaper access has opened up the “information superhighway” to everyone in all fields of life.For language teachers, it is the perfect medium. In the past, teachers spent hours collecting leaflets and menus, handouts in the street and free magazines from street stands, and buying foreign language newspapers and magazines. Now, all this material is quickly, cheaply and readily available from the comfort of our desks or homes. The Internet can be an infinite resource file of texts, listening material, video files, live TV from around the world ... The list is endless.And, of course, it's not merely a source of material in English, but also home of professional knowledge for teachers: bibliographies, chat groups, articles, courses and conferences. The internet is of great value for every teacher.66. The passage is primarily about __A____.A) the development of the InternetB) the source of material by the InternetC) the communications revolutionD) the Internet and language teachers67.
