Not knowing what to do, I stood still by the side of the road, tears welling up in my eyes. Then a car pulled in and I heard a voice asking what the matter was.

All sorts of memories, like the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tiedOld Mr. Parker's gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school, came flooding back. What a great time we spent hanging out together. Come to think of it, time was just about all we did have to spend in those days.But time flies. I began the letter with "Old Friend" because that's what we've become over the years—old friends. And there aren't many of us left. Which makes those who are all the more precious. Y ou in particular. Y our friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that.Anyway, we've been out of touch for far too long.

Before you read it, let me tell you something about its author, Stephen Hawking.Hawking is perhaps the most well-known scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work tackles the big questions, questions such as How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? He is now working on what is sometimes known as the 'theory of everything.' Among other things, this promises to explain what caused the Big Bang that started the universe.But it is not simply the power of Hawking's mind that has led to his fame. For what many people find most striking about him is the contrast between the strength of his mind and the weakness of his body. For for many years Hawking has suffered from an illness that has left him unable to move and to speak normally.Born in England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood, and it was not until he was a student at university that his illness started to affect him. Hospital tests showed he was suffering from a disease that weakens control over the muscles. The disease gets worse with time and there is no known cure. But Hawking did not lose heart. As he says, "although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got engaged to a girl called Jane Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for."Hawking started research at Cambridge and went on to hold the same post that another great scientist, Newton, once held. Over the years his condition has worsened, but even when he finally lost the ability to speak, he managed to get round the problem. He now uses a computer that enables him to select words which are then turned into speech. "The only trouble," the English scientist says, "is that it gives me an American accent!"- 102 -Appendix IPart II Text AT ext Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 To make informed decisions about change, the public needs a basic understanding of science.Part Two Paras 4-6 What can be done to educate the public about science.

Computers, for example, have provided some with the comfort of working from home while at the same time throwing others out of work as their jobs are automated. In the future changes are likely to be even much greater as science reaches out to shape life itself. New organisms (有机体) are already being engineered. New genetically modified crops promise benefits from higher yields and less use of harmful chemicals.But once again we cannot be sure that science will only change our lives for the better.

Schools should build a free environment and offer support for teachers and students to implement their ideas. Teachers should teach according to students’ aptitude and pay attention to students’ true needs. Students should figure out what their interests are and try to realize what they really want to do.2) I believe that creativity is not a state of being, but, rather, is a personal characteristic on a continuum from low to high. You can move your creativity up the scale by nurturing it. Furthermore, creative activity isn’t only the creation of art. Everyon e who has ever found a solution to a problem has employed creativity. Most of the time, these efforts don’t require high levels of creativity. People high on the continuum of creativity have learned to take an active role in developing it by constantly finding out problems for further exploration. They routinely exercise their creativity.

Schoolsshould build a free environment and offer support for teachers andstudents to implement their ideas. Teachers should teach according to students’aptitude and pay attention to students’true needs.Students should figure out what their interests are and try to realize what they really want to do.2) I believe that creativity is not a state of being, but, rather, is apersonal characteristic on a continuum from low to high. You can move your creativity up the scale by nurturing it. Furthermore, creative activity isn’t only the creation of art. Everyone who has ever found a solution to a problem has employed creativity. Most of the time, these effortsdon’t require high levels of creativity. People high on the continuum of creativity have learned to take an active role in developing it byconstantly finding out problems for further exploration. They routinely exercise their creativity. The key is that they keep working even when they feel that they will never find a solution. The true magic in creativity lies in the fact that the solutions do come.Language in Use4.•1) genuine•2) discipline•3) facilitate•4) talents•5) motivate•6) appetite•7) dynamic •8) acquires •9) flourished•10) ambition5.•1) admitted to •2) working on •3) pass through•4) thrown out•5) end up•6) do with6.• a packet of cigarettes (一包烟) •1) a body of•2) a block of•3) a chain of•4) a ray of•5) a gust of•6) a mountain of•7) a herd of•8) a string of•9) a bunch of•10) a packet of7.•1) easy-going •2) heart-broken•3) self-confident•4) poverty-stricken•5) up-to-date•6) narrow-minded•7) long-distance•8) well-educated8.Reference translation1) 我认为创造性是获得有价值的创意的过程。

(Para. 2) What evidence in the text can you find to support your answer?No. The writer does not support the idea. In fact, he says that when we take a closer look at personality, we will see that it is notas simple as that.2) Of the two main factors (heredity and environment) that influe nce one’s personality, which one has a greater influence?The writer does not indicate which of the two factors has a greater influence because no one really knows. In addition, the combination of both influences may vary from one person to another.3) How does family environment affect a child’s personality?Home life affects a child’s growth. A child who feels loved and secure at home is more likely to develop positive traits than those who grow up in a troubled family.4) According to the writer, when is the best time for a person to develop his / her personality? Why?The writer thinks that the best time to develop a person’s personality is during his / her adolescence. This is because it is easier for one to absorb new things when one is learning.2 There are two main ideas about personality in Text A. Point them out and list the supporting ideas that help develop each main idea. Main Idea 1:What is personality or the definition of personality.Supporting Ideas:Three elements of personality: emotional, social, intellectual Main Idea 2:The two factors that influence personality development are heredity and environment.Supporting Ideas:Heredity and its influence; Environment and its influence; Best stage / life phase to develop personalityTask Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following statements and then decide whether eachof them is true or false based on the information in the text.

I woke up early in the morning, curiously and nervously waiting for the moment to set foot on the campus.I walked with great joy, impressed by the lovely buildings, the old giant trees everywhere throughout the campus, and even more so, by the cool, crisp mountain air that kept hitting my nose. In the central square I stopped for a while, and listened to the music playing on the school’s radio station. Students were happily moving from class to class along the corridors. Professors were smiling broadly and exchanging greetings with students in a friendly manner. All these things reminded me that Ineeded to get used to the “college-ways” of doing things, which are so different from those at high school. On that special day, I really felt a new rhythm of life with a mixed sense of duty and liberty.CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、A3、D4、D5、B6、CBanked Cloze（1）E. ignored（2）H. aware（3）L. conducted（4）C. supervisors（5）F. enlightening（6）D. harmonious（7）K. elevate（8）I. budget（9）A. devoted（10）O. fosteringParagraph Translation（翻译参考）The effect of globalization on higher education is surprisingly complex. For higher education, globalization implies the social, economic, and technological forces that shape the realities of the 21st century. These elements include advanced information technology, new ways of thinking about financing higher education, and unprecedented mobility for students and professors. Significantly, the idea of mass access to higher education has meant unprecedented expansion of higher education everywhere. There are about 134 million students in postsecondary education worldwide. These global trends are for the most part inevitable.Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: CBCAA6-10: BDDAB11-15: DBCCD16-20: ACDACUnit Test - II1-5: CBDCD（6）G. initial（7）N. contemplated （8）L. range（9）B. appropriate （10）E. instrumental （11）O. mobilization （12）A. cope（13）I. individual （14）D. contributing （15）M. responsibility16-20: BADDB21-25: DBDADU2Textbook StudyListening1）source2）heroes3）bread4）greatest5）relationships6）devotion7）positive8）misunderstandingsText B1）found that social relationships also dramatically influence our mortality rate.thinks social relationships have as much of an impact on mortality as risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption, and even more of an impact than physical inactivity and obesity.points out that we exhibit a spontaneous social instinct to make friends from a very early age.2）states that the highest predictor of happiness is good relationships.states friendships are often fluid, dependent on where you live and work —and, interestingly, proximity is the highest indicator of a continuing friendship.believes without face-to-face connection, welose something precious in our quality of interaction —which is why she recommends we focus on regularly doing enjoyable things with our friends.3）states she stays away from people who are negative and drain her energies, and enjoys having friends from different cultures to expand her world instead of relying on one person.says that deeper friendships expand our inner horizons and enhance the quality of our life.WritingLack of Face-to-Face CommunicationNowadays, with the increasing pace of life, lack of face-to-face communication is becoming a problem that is changing the way we live. The reason is our accelerated pace of life and our failure to control it. Meanwhile, people are getting lazier and spoiled by the convenience of modern life. To get back the happy life we used to have, one solution is to spend less time on the computer and put down our cellphones. We need to talk to our family and friends more, instead of sending emails or text messages. Another possible solution is that we shouldspend more time doing things together with loved ones. For example, we could organize parties, visit neighbors, plan family trips, just like in the old times. We should not let social media and electronic devices control us and destroy our way of life.CET-Oriented StudyListening1、D2、B3、C4、B5、B6、D7、C8、DReading Comprehension（1）E（2）B（3）D（4）I（5）H（6）G（7）A（8）F（9）I（10）JParagraph Translation（翻译参考）Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.

The beauty about it is that I can always find a song to identify with, whether at a time of happiness, loneliness or sorrow. Some scientists have found that people can boost their mood simply by listening to upbeat music. For instance, I listen to pop music with happy melodies, when I have something to celebrate. When feeling relaxed, I love to lay back and listen to jazz in particular. While I am disturbed by the problems of my study, soft music without lyrics will soothe me and make me concentrate. To me, listening tomusic can fuel my soul and ultimately lead to a better quality of life.Sample 2Everyone has an instinctive understanding of how music interacts with our moods. Some scientists have found that listening to music can improve our moods. Of all types of music I love classical music most because it gives me power and comfort. At a time of happiness, classical music creates such a calming atmosphere that I feel completely at peace. When life disappoints me, however, those masterpieces encourage me and give me strength to recover. Specifically, I love Bach’s music best. Some pieces help me concentrate when I am working. While some other pieces assist me in battling insomnia. Listening to classical music fuels my life and leads to a better quality of life.CET-Oriented StudyListening1、D2、A3、D4、D5、C6、CBanked Cloze（1）D. plugged（2）M. led（3）pared（4）I. measure（5）F. estimated（6）B. amounts（7）L. opposite（8）K. diagnosed（9）J. factors（10）C. necessarilyParagraph Translation（翻译参考）China has a wide variety of folk performing arts featuring, among others, acrobatics, quyi, puppet show and shadow shows.

Last month, my family saw a news ad for the city marathon and we immediately decided to sign up for it. Our running practice started immediately the next morning. On the day of the marathon, we got to the starting point early enough for the warm-up. At 9 o’clock, lots of runners arrived. Soon, we began to put number tags on our T-shirts. At 9:30, as the starting gun went off, all of us headed out and the long run began. People along the road cheered us on and provided drinking water for us. After 20 miles, all of us slowed down and felt a little tired. Dad, who still led our team, toldus to adjust our breathing and pace. Then later, we started walking and encouraging one another to finish the race. We were so thrilled when we got to the finish, though we didn’t win. Exhausted as we were, we realized that joy and satisfaction come from participation, not from winning the race.Sample 2The most exciting soccer match this year was the final game of our school’s soccer tournament to determine the champion. At the beginning, both teams —the chemistry department and the biology department —put forth supreme defensive performances. Meanwhile, both teams kept seeking chances to score a goal, but neither one got the opportunity. At half-time, the advantage lay with the chemistry department. In the second half, the game opened up and several attractive shots were made. But 15 minutes before the end of the game, the chemistry department team’s forward was shown a red card and sent off for serious foul play. The advantage in numbers enabled the biology department team to play confidently and they finally scored 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.That was a very unexpected but memorable soccer game.CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、C3、A4、D5、B6、CBanked Cloze（1）D.anxiety（2）I. dropping（3）N. critical（4）G. cooperate（5）H. greatly（6）F. cautious（7）A. process（8）O. enjoying（9）L. focus（10）B.highParagraph Translation（翻译参考）Table tennis is a sport which gains much popularity and acclaim in China.

It’s certainly difficult to offer a definite standard. But generally speaking, we can tell it by making clear whether he is serious about his life and judging his attitude towards life and work.

Your wisdom is the only thing that people can’t take away from youWritingWhat Reading Means to MeReading can mean different things to different people. Reading is to me what sunshine is to trees. I feel I cannot live without books. Sir John Lubbock in his “The Delights of Books” wrote, “Many of those who havehad, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they owed much of their purest happiness to books.”As a college student, I find happy and soothing moments in reading. When I come upon a problem, I always seek help from books in the first place, in which great thinkers past and present might have already provided their ready answers. When I need a brief break from work, I always turn to my favorite writer and explore the world side by side with him.

When we don’t do well or fail in exams, we might lose confidence and feel depressed. To manage academic stress, we need to understand that unsatisfactory performance may be the result of absent-mindedness and we should reschedule our time and put more energy into our study. Some students may have other problems, such as financial difficulties.To combat them, they could apply for student loans or possibly find part-time jobs to support themselves. While college students face the obvious social challenges that usually involve leaving one’s entire support structure behind, creating a new social network, dealing with being away from home for the first time and finding less parental support, many students also face social stress. In order to reduce social stress students may be encouraged to take up sports with their friends. Stress can lead to serious disorders.

To me, curiosity is a hunger to explore and a delight in discovering. When we are curious, we approach the world with a child-like habit of poking, prodding and asking questions. We are attracted to new experiences. Rather than pursuing an agenda or a desired set of answers, we follow our questions where they lead. Curiosity lets us really listen to other people because we want to know who they are. We open ourselves up to the knowledge and experience they can share with us. We also expect to have discoveries of our own to share. Curiosity makes us interested in a broad range of information about the world around us. We learn for the joy of obtaining new knowledge. We will never know everything there is to know, but withour curiosity, we have learned so much.CET-Oriented StudyListening1、A2、B3、D4、D5、D6、C7、BBanked Cloze（1）L. improve（2）I. approval（3）F. especially（4）J. monetary（5）G. aid（6）M. challenging（7）C. kill（8）H. ordinary（9）N. restore（10）B. promiseParagraph Translation（翻译参考）In extended families, the older members are respected, and the youngest members are loved and taken good taken care of by all. China’s Constitution stipulates that grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, couples who do not live with their aged parents give the latter living allowances and help them with the house chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with parents. To them, breaking up the extended family means cooking their meals separately. Married sons most often have their houses built near their parents’home, making it convenient for parents and children to help and visit each other as before.Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: CACDA6-10: CBCBC11-15: ACBAB16-20: CCBCAUnit Test - II1、B2、D3、A4、C5、A6、D（6）bines （7）J.fantasies （8）H.transform （9）B.concrete （10）D.strategy （11）O.perceptual （12）A.evaluate （13）M.coordinated （14）I.outcome （15）G.survive16-20: BCADC21-25: BDADB。
