Reading comprehensionPassageMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. Ialways encourage such people, but also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor- paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to _______.A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC) show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD) encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A) Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewardingB) A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.C) Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D) The chances for a writer to become successful are small.3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) He wasn't able to produce a single book.B) He hadn't seen a change for little better.C) He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D) He found his dream would never come true.4. "... people who die wondering. What if "(Line 3, para. 3) refers to "those______".A) who think too much of the dark side of lifeB) who regret giving up their career halfwayC) who think a lot without making a decisionD) who are full of imagination even upon death5. "Shadow land" in the last sentence refers to _______.A) the wonder land one often dreams aboutB) the bright future that one is looking forward toC) the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD) a world that exists only in one's imaginationV. C-E or E-C Translation1. 两国关系的紧张部分是有最近的间谍（spy affair）引起的。

This book is intended to help you to improve stil l further so that you can reach the point where people will say that your English is fluent---a level measured by the Cambridge Proficiency Examination, for example.You will see my personal opinion of the difficulties ahead of you and how you can best solve them in Lesson 4 of this book. But it may be helpful for me to make the main points of my argument here, before you start. In the first place, there is still quite a long way to go before you can feel sure that your English is fluent. You have probably noticed yourself that while you can express your ideas in English clearly enough, you only know one way of saying or writing them.You would like to be able to vary this a little, depending on the company around your or the situation you find yourself in, just as you would in your own language. In the same way, while you understand your teacher perfectly, you may sometimes not find it so easy to follow ordinary English or American people who do not choose their words so carefully. One object of this book is to “expose”you to as many variations of modern English as possible and help you to use them yourself in the appropriate circumstances.The second main point I want to make here is that becoming fluent in English does not really depend on learning a lot of more complicated structures than you have studied already. Good modern English is not made up of long, complicated sentences. It largely depends on the correct use of structures and the connecting words and phrases that link sentences together. You will find some of these in the paragraphs above --- “that is to say,”“for example,”“in the first place,”“in the same way,”and so on. This book tries to demonstrate by examples the use of such phrases so that you will be encouraged to try them out for yourself in your own speech and writing.Unit 2To most people, education means schools. But education has many other sources as well—the home, the farm, museums, television, advertisements, newspapers and magazines, sports events and practical experience. When one thinks of education, it is important to consider all these sources.Since ancient times certain questions have been asked about education. Different societies have answered these questions in very different ways. The following are among the questions:Who shall be educated? Most of the countries of the world offer beginning education to everyone. But opinions differ as to who should receive advanced education. Some countries select for advanced education only those students who have proved themselves to be ready for it. In the United States, the door to advanced education is kept open for everyone for as long as possible. Does this “water down” education by making advanced education “too easy”? Some people think so, but others do not.How should schools be organized? Some countries have a single system of schools for everyone with specialization possible within the single system. Others maintain specialized schools, some for students as young as 13. In the United States, theres are both public and private schools. The private schools tend to emphasize academic subjects more exclusively than the public schools, which generally offer a broader curriculum. Is it better to have different kinds of schools for different kinds of students? Should all children take the same amount of time to go through schools, or should the time be different for different children？The way those in charge of schools answer these questions depends on their beliefs about what schools are for.Unit 3In this book psycho-cybernetics, Dr. Maxwell Maltz explains the amazing results one educator had in improving grades of school-children by changing their self-images. He had observed that when they saw themselves as stupid in a certain subject (or stupid in general), they unconsciously acted to confirm their self-image. They believed they were stupid, so they acted that way.

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and valuesare no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6.

In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4. In modern society, clothing styles change yearly. Some are in this year but will be out the next.5. More likely than not, what this “new” parenting idea brings about will be “super problems” rather than “super kids”.6.

In my view, he is so weak-willed that he could hardly give up smoking. To my surprise, he has easily cured himself of this bad habit.8. Demands on students have to be tailored to their interests and abilities.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data.

It is showed by the statistics which are unofficial but frequently quoted concerning the Cambridge First Certificate examination that those students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are less likely to succeed in the exam. The latest research also indicates that native speaker of English knows at least 16,000 English words, when he has received educati on until he’s 18 or more. Unless you are proficient in a language such as Spanish or German, there is no shortcut to a large vocabulary: you have to depend on diligence and dedication. Of course, you can infer from context the meaning of some new words you come across in reading., but often you have to consult adictionary to clarify the exact meanings. A practical method to learn new words may be reading widely, especially reading those interesting and exciting. Repeatedly, the same books is often beneficial to you: each time you read it you’ll learn different new words, and the familiar context also helps you to engrave these new words on your mind deeply.第二课大学英语精读第五册课后习题答案（2u） (2010-07-20 14:15:35)转载标签：答案教育分类：大学英语Vocabulary work一1． Notions inhabited2． Denial3． Independent4． Realistic5． Pass for6． Consequent7． A handful of8． As opposed to9． Urged influential10． Eternal11． In search of12． Cherish13． Related14． Denial, was opposed to 15． Haunted16． Discerned二1． Combat2． Capabilities3． Eternal4． Opposed to5． In search of6．Stake … on7． No wonder8． In the light of9． Discern10． Paralyzed11． Crying out for12． Awaken to13． Consequent14． Sensitive to三1． She showed a complete lack of interest in the subject under discussion.2．Now that she’s got a part-time job, she is financially independent of her family.3． As a charity, we provide food and shelter for people in need, regardless of the reasons for their need.4． These stars are barely visible to the naked eyes.5． The depression that started in mid-1929 was a catastrophe of unprecedented dimensions for the United States.6． Even to this day, the hunger he suffered in his childhood still haunts him.7． Robert overcame his shyness which had formerly paralyzed him in Mary’s presence.8． The fall in the cost of living is directly related to the drop in the oil price.四1.

As long as you try to learn from you failure instead of holding a negative view about yourself or identifying with failure, you are very likely to succeed in the future. Have you ever thought that those who have failed again and again are always the victims of bad self-image They failed often because of not external reasons but internal reasons. Countless examples verify that if those people could be prevailed on to change their view and set up positive self-image, their performance would change miraculously. Success can come at any time, whenever you are thirty, forty or when it seems that you have failed all your life. Success in early years is sweet, but the late one is more tasty.第四课大学英语精读第五册课后习题答案（4u） (2010-07-20 15:01:33)转载标签：答案教育分类：大学英语Vocabulary work一1． Blessing2． Borders3． Childish4． Desperation5． Mercy6． Signature7． Steadily8． Stand out9． Came over10． Broke his heart 11． Pay back 12． Flung13． Consent14． Hold your tongue 二1.

They have a special ability to think and analyze, and unlimited patience in observing and collecting date. However , not all scientific discoveries can be ascribed to abilities and patience; they usually connect closely with creative imagination. Of course, the leap of imagination is often the first step leading to discoveries. Moreover , scientists are famous for their honesty. They put a high premium on honesty, mainly because thathonesty is cardinal to their career. Every theory they put forward has to be further tested. Every error and lie are sure to be found. So, if finding some evidence contradiction with their ideas, scientists modify even abandon their ideas, instead of concealing them. In this way, they accumulate an immense amount of knowledge, which can help us understand ourselves and surroundings better.分享第六课大学英语精读第五册课后习题答案（6u） (2010-07-20 15:53:05)转载标签：答案教育分类：大学英语Vocabulary work一1.

Jenny regard ed it as my father’s actively reaching out to a reconciliation, so we should accept it. I was in the midst of abstractingan important case and preparing for the coming examinations at that time, hence I only used the simplest words to tell her no day to reconcile forever. My refusal apparently made Jenny depressed, but as a rational woman, she didn’t quarrel with me. She just tried to persuade me. But it only made me furious, thinking that Jenny made me upset deliberately.

This book is to help you to improve further so that you can reach the point people will say that your English is fluent---a level measured by the Cambridge Proficiency Examination, for example.You will see my opinion of the difficulties ahead you and how you can best solve in Lesson 4 of this book. But it may be helpful for me to the main points of my argument here, you start. In the first place, there is quite a long way to go you can feel sure that your English is .You have probably noticed yourself that you can express your ideas in English clearly , you only know one way of saying or writing them.You would like to be able to vary this a little, depending on the company around your or the situation you find yourself , just as you would in your own language. the same way, while you understand your teacher perfectly, you may sometimes not it so easy to follow ordinary English or American people do not choose their words so . One object of this book is to “expose”you to as many variations of modern English as and help you to use them yourself in the appropriate circumstances.The second main point I want to here is that becoming fluent in English does not depend on learning a lot of more complicated structures you have studied already. Good modern English is not up of long, complicated sentences. It largely depends on the correct of structures and the connecting words and that link sentences together. You will find some of these in the paragraphs --- “that is to say,” “for example,” “in the first place,” “in the same way,”and so . This book tries to by examples the use of such phrases so that you will be encouraged to try them for yourself in your own speech and .Unit 2To most people, education means schools. But education has many sources as well—the home, the farm, museums, television, advertisements, newspapers and , sports events and practical experience. When one thinks of education, it is important to all these sources.Since ancient certain questions have been asked about education. Different societies have these questions in very different ways. The following are among the :Who shall be educated? Most of the countries of the world beginning education to everyone. But opinions as to who should receive advanced education. Some countries select advanced education only those students who have proved to be ready for it. In the United States, the door advanced education is kept for everyone for as long as possible. Does this “water down” education by advanced education “too easy”? Some people think , but others do not.How should schools be organized? Some countries have a system of schools for everyone specialization possible within the single system. maintain specialized schools, some for students as as 13. In the United States, theres are both public and schools. The private schools tend to emphasize academic subjects more exclusively the public schools, which generally offer a broader .Is it better to have different of schools for different kinds of students? all children take the same of time to go through schools, or should the time be different for different children？The way those in of schools answer these questions depends on their beliefs about schools are for.Unit 3In this book psycho-cybernetics, Dr. Maxwell Maltz explains the amazing results one educator had in improving grades of school-children by changing their self-images. He had observed that when they saw themselves stupid in a certain subject (or stupid general), they unconsciously acted to their self-image. They believed they were , so they acted that . Reasoning that it was their defeatist attitude than any lack of ability was defeating them, the educator set to change their self-images. And he found that when he accomplished that, they no behaved stupidly!Maltz records this same negative self-image kept a salesman ever reaching more than a certain level ofand so he subconsciously prevented himself doing so.Maltz concludes these and other examples that our experiences can work a kind of self-hypnotism on us, suggesting a conclusion about ourselves and then urging us to make it true.Unit 4A man and a woman were seated in a car that had been circling the same area for a half hour. The woman was saying, “why don’t we ask someone?” the man was saying, not for the first time, “I’m sure it’s here somewhere. I’ll just try this street.”Why are so many men reluctant to ask ? Why are n’t women? And why can’t women understand men don’t want to ask? The explanation, for this and for countless minor and frustrations that women and men encounter when they talk to each other, lies the different ways that they use language —differences that begin how girls and boys use as children, growing up in different worlds.Sociologists and psychologists have found that little girls play in small groups or in ; they have a best friend, with whom they spend a lot of time talking. It’s the telling of secrets that them best friends. They learn to use language to negotiate intimacy—to make connections and feel close each other.Boys, on the other hand, tend to play games in larger High-status boys give orders and boys are pushed ground. So boys learn to use language to preserve independence and negotiate their status, trying to center stage, challenge and resist challenges, display knowledge and verbal .These divergent assumptions about the of language persist into adulthood, where they lie wait behind cross-gender conversations, ready to leap and cause puzzlement or grief. In the of asking for directions, the same interchange is experienced differently by women and . From a woman’s perspective, you ask for help, you get it ,and you get to you’re going. A fleeting connection is made with a stranger, is fundamentally pleasant. But a man is aware that admitting ignorance and asking for information, he positions himself one-down to someone else. Far pleasant, this is humiliating. So it makes sense for him to preserve his independence and self-esteem at the of a little extra travel time.Unit 5There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical ; technology is a method of practical problems (and sometimes creating new problems of the “solution”). Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships observable phenomena in nature and with theories that serve to organize facts and relationships; technology has to do tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings fo . Another distinction between science and technology has to with the progress in each.Progress science excludes the human factor. And his is justly . Scientist, who seek to comprehend the and know the truth within the degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people’s likes or or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as . Darwin’s theory of evolution. But even an truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the option of refusing to it! But hardly so with technology; we don not have the option of refusing to the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft overhead; we do not have the option of refusing topolluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a nonatomic . Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in of the human factor. Technology must be our slave and not the . The legitimate purpose of technology is to people—people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely who presently wish to gain advantage for . Technology must be humanistic if it is to leada better world.3. Passage translationUnit 1掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。
