大学英语(二)第三阶段一、阅读理解1.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, so mehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions a nd things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later t hey agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, wh ether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring u p before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experienc e; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and s ad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the numb er of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotio ns. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Abo ve all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in wor ds which sing like music and which by their position and association can m ove men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.纠错(1)(4分)The origin of language is _________.• A. a legend handed down from the past• B. a matter that is hidden or secret• C. a question difficult to answer• D. a problem not yet solved(4分)What is true about words? _______• A.

He is no more than a master of words.• B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.• C. He can move men to tears.• D. His style is always charming.No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain d uring the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel e verything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughin g, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem t o feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experim ent on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas tha n he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being p ulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.纠错(1)(4分)It is not long since a man felt all the pain while being operated.• A. T• B.

He won't go at a job with the confide nce necessary for success. He is therefore 1 to fail, and the failure will stren gthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 2 illustrates this. When he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that h e had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought that they would not expect too much of him. 3 this way, they too developed the i dea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mis taken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poo r at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 4 of the other studen ts had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea t hat he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he co uld. His new 5 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems wit h a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, a nd he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.纠错(1)1• A. found• B. none• C. likely• D.

本题问“第一段的‘cosy’是什么意思?”解决词汇题的思路是先找到该词语出现的句子。
该句大意是“虽然船非常的‘cosy’,但是船上并没有自来水和电力”。
这里来看前面半句讲的应该是这条船的优点,而后半句讲的是这条船的不足,这里是通过前后的对比来猜测词义。
据此可以推测“cosy”的意思是C。
[2]C.推断题。
本题问“当Fiona说:‘我只是希望大海也爱我’的时候,她的意思是_______。
”答案在第二段的第三句,该句大意是“Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the s ea---I justhope it loves me.不管怎样,我并不惧怕死亡,因为我爱大海――我希望大海也爱我”。
据此可以推测答案是C(我希望大海可以保佑我的航行平安,作为我爱它的回报)。
A的意思是“因为我爱大海,所以大海当然爱我”,B的意思是“如果我爱大海,大海就会爱我”,D的意思是“我希望在我遇到危险的时候,大海能够救我”。
[3]D.推断题。
本题问“Fiona想要航海的原因是_______。
”答案在最后一段的最后两句,这两句大意是“Fiona精力特别充沛,在闲暇的时候她喜欢弹钢琴,攀岩,划独木舟和跳舞。
虽然年届60,但是她并不想过那种安静祥和的生活。
‘我喜欢我的后半生能过得有趣点,这就是为何我想要做一回航海家的原因’”。
据此可知答案是D(她想在年纪大的时候还能充满活力)。
[4]D.推断题。
本题问“你认为Fiona这个老太太是什么样的人?”根据我们上面几题的解释,我们可以得出答案是D(她是个开放,诚实,勇敢的老太太)。
A的意思是“她是个不敢表露真实想法的人”,B的意思是“她是个特别骄傲,对成功特有把握的人”,C的意思是“她是个不太会用大脑的人”。
[5]A.中心思想题。
本题让我们给文章选个最好的标题。
A的意思是“生活在60岁才开始”,B的意思是“一次环绕海岸的航行”,C的意思是“一位老年女航海家”,D的意思是“一个不寻常的爱好”。
第一段的第一句告诉我们Fiona在60岁的时候决定要做一次航海,第二段告诉我们Fiona并不畏惧航海中的危险,而且她想让自己的后半生更有乐趣。
据此我们可知A最适合做本文标题。
