Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartmentto find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and —most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat.We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’dalready seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the nextday and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, onthe fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayneand Jimmy Stewart ’disalogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!

At theage of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet”or “Mum Bett. ”For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley fa mily. One day, Ashley ’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, sheleft the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued( 起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then shethought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for themas a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829,but her legacy lived on in her many descendants( 后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’stombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.6.

Over twobillion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and cancommunicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carryeverywhere. But the Internet ’s tremendous impacts has only just begun.“Massadoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, andpolitical transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects arefully global, ”Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide whocurrently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining theimplications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the newsmedia. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it ’thsat authors don’stpend enough timeapplying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —andmore importantly predicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. Theypaint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments mustdeal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren ’t. ”By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs.pessimist dichotomy( 对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the riseof the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier thisweek, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet,they ’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion peoplecome online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance( 监视).11. In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and thetelegraph?A. It transforms human history.B. It facilitates daily communication.C. It is adopted by all humanity.D. It revolutionizes people's thinking.12. How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?A. They are immeasurable.B. They are worldwide.C. They are unpredictable.D. They are contaminating.13. In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A. It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B .It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C. It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D. It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.14. What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A. People will be living in two different realities.B. People will have equal access to information.C. People don ’t have to travel to see the world.D. People don ’t have to communicate face to face.15. What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A. They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B. They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.C. They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D. They don’t take sides in analyzing t h e effects of the Internet.Part Ⅱvocabulary and structure 每(题1 分,共15分)Directions: for each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A 、B、C and D. choose the one answer that best completes the sentence.16.

However,Hawaii is also a land full of legends( 传). One of the oldest legends tells of a special dance calledthe hula, which started here around 300years ago.One hula teacher tells the story of how the dance started. “The hula started, as far as the legend tells it, when Hi ’iaki and her good friend Hopoe went down to the beach.

The visitors were shocked by the hula because the dancers were notwearing many clothes. So they asked the local government to banthe dance.After that, most Hawaiians were not allowed to perform the hula in public for almost 60years. But that did not mean the dancing stopping stopped.

I. Reading Comprehension(本题共 20 小题,每题 2 分共 40 分)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A.B.C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneIf one is asked about the best way to improve one's reading ability, it is of course, to read. As a student, you must make a real effort to improve both your reading speed and your comprehension. Too many students read passively and without judgment; they simply start at the first word and read through to the end. You should read a passage actively, selectively and purposefully. You must believe that you indeed have the ability to read faster and understand more, and that you will.Reading, like everything else in life, is best done when you are relaxed. The key to improve it is concentration. You must be willing to break some old habits and form new ones. Extra body movement, such as turning the head from side to side, pointing at the line with a finger or a pencil, or moving the lips, should be stopped immediately. Reading is mostly a mental process and body movement helps neither speed nor comprehension. Then you shouldsee words as part of a whole sentence or paragraph, not just in isolation. This is why a slow, word-by-word student often understands far less, missing much of the joy and excitement of reading.The student must learn to improve reading skills on their own, and not just when a teacher is looking over his shoulder. Reading improvement takes discipline and effort.

Many people spend all their lives to forget those bitter ones. Violence and traffic accidents, esp. can leave people with terrible physicaland emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers are developing a pill which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body from releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions." said Roger Pit man, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out." said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.6.The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. an argument about the research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. a new research on the pill7.American researchers are developing a pill to .A. comfort those people who are in a frightening experienceB. help those people to forget their frightening experienceC. persuade those people to forget their frightening experienceD. test those people's degree of fright in a frightening experience8.The drug tested on people can .A. prevent the body from producing certain chemicalsB. relieve people of the mental tensionC. cause the brain to fix memoriesD. wipe out the memories of bad experiences9.We can infer from the passage that .A. people supporting the research believe that the pill will stop people's bad experiencesB. people supporting the research believe the pill will help people to reduce the harm caused by bad experiencesC. people against the research believe that the effect of the pills may not bed desirableD. people against the research believe that the pill will cause them to make mistakes10. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. The pill will reduce people's suffering from bad memories.D. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.Passage ThreeLarge modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who live in them. Persons living in cities are obliged by their environment to take a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and the rhythm of the nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are difficult to obtain. and therefore are highly valued. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere. Tall building hide the sun completely. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.rge modem cities impose their living condition on people in thatA. sunshine and fresh air are availableB. living conditions are improvedC. beautiful landscape can be foundD. air-conditioned houses are provided12.Which is NOT one of the reasons why city life is not more desirable?A. Tall buildings hide the sun completely.B. Modern cities are too big to control.C. Modern cities offer better schools and more chances of employment.D. People are barely conscious of the seasons.13.According to the passage, the following can be the reasons for the loss of distinction between day and night except thatA. persons living in cities live in air-conditioned housesB. people lose touch with the natureC. people are traveling through different time zonesD. the sun was hidden from view by tall buildings14.If you want to know what season it is,A. it is advisable for you to live in an air-conditioned houseB. you'd better visit a public parkC. you should go out to see the sunshine and breathe the fresh airD. you should walk on the pavement15.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Large modern cities are too big to controlB. Sunshine and fresh air are rare in large modern cities.C. There are many disadvantages of living in large modern cities.D. All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who live in large cities.Passage FourRobots in use now are taking over the blue-collar jobs of less educated Americans, but artificial intelligence (AI) is probably ready to shake up college-educated employees in higher-paying jobs. This will leave no worker unaffected by the influence of technology on the American workforce.AI is generally regarded as programming computers to do things that normally require human intelligence-tasks such as planning, learning, reasoning and problem-solving. Muro, asenior fellow at the Brookings Institute, and his colleagues analyzed which jobs would be the most highly affected by artificial intelligence. What they learned is that almost every profession will feel Al's effects.But it’s hard to predict whether AI will take the place of more highly skilled workers in the same way robots have done to lower-skilled workers. AI might create entirely new jobs for humans. "We can't really say whether AI will lead to the support of work or its opposite. Both things could happen." says Muro.Jobs performed by people with a four-year college degree could be the hardest hit. These include market research analysts, sales managers, programmers, management analysts and engineers. Positions that are heavily involved in pattern-oriented or “predictive work” are more likely to be affected, according to the analysis.Of course, this is not the first time American workers have been influenced or potentially influenced by technology. The challenge, as Muro sees, it is to determine how humans can add value. He believes that human beings are durable in the face of new technologies. The question is how to help people accept training again, seek new work, and how they can adjust to it, or if their careers break down from this, how to provide a better social safety net.16.Who can AI affect most in the American workforce?A. Senior workers.B. Blue-collar workers.C. More-educated employees.D. Inexperienced employees.17.What did Muro and his colleagues find out?A. AI is considered as programming computers to complete tasks.B. AI can deal with tasks such as planning and reasoning.C. AI is better at problem-solving than humans.D. AI can affect almost every field.18.What can we infer from what Muto says?A. AI will replace some skilled workers.B. AI will play as a double-edged sword.C. AI will develop in the same way as robots.D. AI will create entirely new jobs for humans.19.Which of the following positions are NOT likely to be replaced by AI?A. Management analysts.B. Sales managers.C. Programmers.D. Fashion designers.20.What should human beings do in face of the challenges posed by AI?A. Use their potential to adjust to it.B. Work harder than before.C. Wait for another opportunity.D. Learn to be durable.II. Vocabulary and Structure ( 本题共 15 小题,每题 1 分,共 15 分 )Directions: For each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A.B.C and D.

Part I Reading Comprehension(30 points)Passage OneThere is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.1. The difference between science and technology lies in that _____.A) the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter to practical problemsB) the former seeks to comprehend the universe while the latter helps change the material worldC) the former aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them while the latter, to discover new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily lifeD) all of the above2. Which of the following may be representative of science?A) The improvement of people's life. B) The theory of people's life.C) Farming tools. D) Mass production.3. According to the author, scientific theories _____.A) must be strictly objective B) usually take into consideration people's likes and dislikesC) should conform to popular opinions D) always appear in perfect and finished forms4. The author states that technology itself _____.A) is responsible for widespread pollution and resource exhaustionB) should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC) will lead to a better world if put to wise useD) will inevitably be for bad purpose5. The tone of the author in this passage is _____.A) positive B) negative C) factual D) criticalPassage TwoAmericans have always been ambivalent in their attitudes toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else wouldcitizens learn how to govern themselves in a responsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered financial opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from rags to riches, schooling-beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic-was an unnecessary detour.Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success without much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible is decreasing. In today's more complex world, the opportunities for financial success is closely related to the need for education, especially higher education.Our society is rapidly becoming one whose chief product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more specialized education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer subjects.In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow's world will be even more complex than today's world, and, to manage this complexity, even more specialized education will be needed.6. The topic treated in this passage is _____.A) education in general B) Americans' attitudes C) higher education D) American education7. Americans' attitudes toward education have always been _____.A) certain B) contradictory C) ambitious D) unclear8. Today, financial success is closely related to the need for _____.A) higher education B) public education C) responsible citizens D) learning the basics9. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.A) information is our only product B) education in the future will be specializedC) we are entering an age of information D) we are living in an age of information10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of American Education. B) The Need for Specialized Education.C) The Future of the American Educational System. D) Attitudes toward American Education.Passage ThreeA growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter this pattern of distribution in the future. As men slowly learn to master diseases, control floods, prevent famines, and stop wars, fewer people die every year; and in consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 there were about 2,000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4,000 million.When numbers rise the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought under cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some areas the accessible land is so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupations, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods. There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops are being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates: there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dry-farming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electric power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to suit particular soils; aeroplanes spray cropsto destroy locusts and many plant diseases. Every year some new means is devised to increase or to protect the food of the world.11. The author says that the world population is growing because _____.A) there are many rich valleys and fertile plains B) the pattern of distribution is being alteredC) people are living longer D) new land is being brought under cultivation12. The author says that in densely populated areas the land might be more productively farmed if _____.A) the plots were subdividedB) a large part of the people moved to a different part of the countryC) industrial methods were used in farmingD) the units of land were made much larger13. We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle. This has been made possible by _____.A) producing new strains of crops B) irrigation and dry-farming methodsC) providing fertilizers D) destroying pests and disease14. Which of these words is nearest in meaning to the word "strains"?A) types B) sizes C) seeds D) harvests15. The author's main purpose is to _____.A) argue for a belief B) describe a phenomenon C) entertain D) propose a conclusion Part II Vocabulary and Structure (15 points)1.

I can remember one passage that particularly struck me. It ran something 1 this. ”And I direct that $10, 000 be2 to old William B, whom I have wished to help for many years,3 always put off doing so.” It4 the last words of a dying man. But the story does not5 there. When the lawyers came to6 out the bequest(遗赠), they discovered that old William B had7 , too, and so the8 deed was lost. I felt rather9 about that. It seemed to me a most regrettable 10 that William should not have had his $10, 000 just 11 somebody kept putting 12 giving it to him. And from 13 accounts, William could have done with the 14 . But I am sure 15 there are thousands of kindly little deeds waiting to be 16 today, which are being put of 17 later.

The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as wellas Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans wereimportant. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knewthat many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. Tounderstand their own culture, they must understand its origin. They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learnGreek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand theculture of the classical world.36. A good synonym for "origin" isA. peopleB. futureC. beginningD. culture37.

Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato.The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South Americabyearly Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatlwordtomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably,the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed thatto eat itwas surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eata tomato tocause their coldhearted lovers regret. Because of this legend, thesettlers called the tomato a "love apple. " While people enjoyed othernative plants such as corn andsweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was braveenough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it wasmany years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sentacross the oceanto become part of many traditional European dishes.40. The language from which we derived the word tomato isA. PortugueseB.

The most commonprotection is the eyelid--a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tearswash away any particles that get through the other defenses.Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids. The upper and lowerlids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner. Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink.They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks, this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassycoveringprotects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from thecovering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a little dirtobscuring its vision does notdisturb it greatly.Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act likeminiaturebrushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long toprotect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.44. A camel has long eyelashesA. to keep windblown sand out of its eyesB. that get in the way of its sightC. to help it see betterD. to attract other camels45.

Protecting the EyePassage FourAs part of an ongoing campaign against polyvinyl chloride ( 聚氯乙烯 ), aVirginia-basedenvironmental advocacy group today called on manufacturers and retailers to phaseout its use in shower curtains. The Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) , released the results of a small study indicating that PVC ( 聚氯乙烯 )-containing shower curtains are capable of emitting scores of potentiallyharmful materials, into people's bathrooms. A previous study, conducted by EnvironmentalProtection Agency researchers, also found that plastic shower curtains canemit toxic compounds into the air.There's still debate among scientists about just how serious the healtheffects are especially at low doses. However, CHEJ urges consumers to avoidusing PVC showercurtains, as well as many other PVC products.For people who are concerned about their shower curtains, there are alternatives. IKEA phased out PVC shower curtains 11 years ago, switching to ethylene vinylacetate ( 乙烯醋酸共聚物 ). The company has said that 88 percent of its showercurtains would be PVC free by spring of 2008.Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains, but some do list" PVC" or" vinyl" on the packaging. Numerous online retailers, sell shower curtains--primarily cotton or hemp--that are free of PVC. However, mildew( 发霉) can be a problem with cotton and hemp products.48. What did the study released by the Center for Health, Environment and Justiceshow?A. That PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride.B. Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains.C. That most shower curtains sold at IKEA are made from PVC.D. That PVC shower curtains may release potentially harmful materials.49. What material are the shower curtains sold at IKEA made from?A.

They may cause mildew.D. They emit harmful materials.51. Is it easy for consumers to tell that a shower curtain is made from PVC?A. Yes, that information is always on the shower curtain label.B. Not always, because shower curtains don't have to be labeled.C. Yes, but only if they're made by IKEA after 2008.D. No, because they only contain low doses of PVC.Passage FiveCompanies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in afurther attempt to crack down on people smuggling. The move by the Home Officecomes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify andprosecute companies breaking the law. More than 200 companies havealready beenfined for hiring illegal labor. The Home Office says names of companiesand directorsare to be published on the UK Border Agency website. The agency willpublish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and howmuch it was fined.By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling 500,000--almost 3,000 per firm. The totalnumber of prosecutionswas 10 times more than were carried out in 2007, and double the total for the previous decade.Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers, such as takeaway restaurants, in an effort to major organized criminalenterprises supplying illegal labor, often relying on international networks to smugglepeople into the UK.Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teamswith police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots. These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for labor including agriculture, construction and hospitality. Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in the UK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy,arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground, penalizingexceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarilychoose.52.

2024五年制师范类专转本英语模拟试卷English:1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in the classroom?The use of technology in the classroom has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, technology can enhance the learning process by providing students with access to more diverse and up-to-date information. It can also make the learning experience more engaging and interactive, as students can use multimedia tools to explore concepts in depth and collaborate with their peers. Additionally, technology can help improve the efficiency of teachers by enabling them to manage and assess student performance more easily.On the other hand, technology can be a distraction for students, leading to a decrease in their attention span and overall performance. Moreover, technology can promote a passive learning environment where students rely on the internet and other resources rather thanactively participating in the learning process. Additionally, not all students have equal access to technology, which can lead to further disparities in learning outcomes between students from different socioeconomic backgrounds.In conclusion, while technology can provide many benefits in the classroom, it is essential to balance its use with traditional teaching methods and ensure that all students have equal access to these resources.中文翻译:在课堂上利用技术有其优势和缺点。
精选全文完整版江苏省2018年五年一贯制高职“专转本”考试英语统考试卷(90分钟)I. Reading ComprehensionPassage OneThe TV play Zheng He is broadcasted on CCTV and the great Chinese traveler comes gradually back to us. It reminds us of a lot of excitement.Zheng He, the Columbus of the east, was an amazing man. He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to word for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403, Zhu Di was made the king of China and asked Zheng He to join his new government.The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He the leader. Between 1405 and 1433, he led seven sea ships to different parts of the world. He certainly traveled to India, Africa and the Middle East. Some people insist that his ships may have even reached South Africa and Australia.Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kilometers during his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers’ horses, Zheng He led a fleet whose size would not be equaled by Europeans for over 500 years.On these trips, he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to the foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who thought these trips were unlucky and cost too much, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years, that historians have carefully studied the adventures of the great Zheng He.1. Why did the Chinese King order Zheng He to sail to many different countries?A.

His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the rubbish and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery, “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great d etail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Scores were given to such things as part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had down as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class madeno real difference in how the boys turned out. Working – at any age – is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence – the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”6. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.7. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as __________.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men8. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by __________.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem-solving ability9. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. quick to reactB. having a thin edgeC. clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.Passage ThreeAlthough some traditional meals in Britain, like roast beef and pudding or fish and chips, remain popular, there had been a significant change in eating habits among the population over the last ten years or so. The increase in the consumption of rice and pasts may be partly responsible for the decline (下降) in that of potatoes. The consumption of meat – with the exception of that of poultry (禽类) which is now at a record level – has also fallen. Skimmed milk now constitutes more than half of the total household consumption of liquid milk. There has been a decline in the total consumption of cooking and spreading fats, with large falls in butter usage. Instead, the consumption of vegetable and salad oils and reduced fat spreads increase rapidly. A switch in fish consumption away from fresh white fish towards canned fish and shellfish has been evident. There has been a small increase in the intake (摄入) of fibre (纤维).Britain has many restaurants, offering cuisine from almost every country. Chinese, Italian and Greek food style restaurants are among the most popular.11. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The increase in the consumption of British traditional foodB.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Inst ead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and filled it up. When the y ounger angel asked why, the older angel replied: "Things aren't always what they seem."The next night the pair came to rest at a farmer's house. The farmer was very poo r, but he and his wife were very hospitable (好客的).After sharing a little food the y had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good res t that night. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the old angel, "How could this happen? Why did you not watch out for the cow?The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house." she accused. "The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.""Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement, from the hole I noticed there was gold stored in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal (封口) the wall so he wouldn't find the gold. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed. Death (死神) came for his wife. I asked God if Death couldtake the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."16.

These cars will float along never touching the ground, and t herefore will have no need for wheels.Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven (涡轮驱动) fans.The car without wheels has been called a "flying car", and, in a sense, that's just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the s treet, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly rough road and even over smooth water!The inevitable problems of maritime (水上的) regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remoteareas all will require new concepts of operation, service and vehicle regulation.21.

Dial 1-888-848-0140C . visit their health care providerD . send email to a medical officeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Women earn less than men. For example, in 1988 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 16% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men is much smaller than that between middle-aged womenand men. It is alsoclear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers in an industry who are women, the lower the average wages.Why do women earn less than men? Are the differences explained by the factthat women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene, to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women on the average have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational back ground which is shown in the difference in the marginal product between men and women.Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some bias against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline. An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor input demanded, resulti ng in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.31. The difference in labor incomes is most obvious between _____.A. young men and young womenB. young women in the same industryC. middle-aged men and middle-aged womenD. middle-aged women in the same industry32. Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because _____.A. women are less experienced than menB. women are only provided with low-paying jobsC. women have much freedom in selecting their jobsD. there is more than enough women in the labor force33. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the second paragraph?A. Women receive less education than men.B. Women are not as productive as men.C. Levels of education are closely related to productivity.D. Goods produced by women are not as good as those by men.34. What does the author suggest that the government should do for womenworkers?A. To ensure equal pay for women.B. To explain why women are paid less.C. To force employers to hire more women.D. No solution is clearly suggested.35. What would happen if women's wages were raised?A. Input of capital would be increased.B. The unemployment rate would go up.C. Those who have jobs would become better off.D. Women as a group would earn more than before.Part Ⅲ ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

精选全文完整版(可编辑修改)江苏省2022年五年一贯制高职“专转本”考试英语统考试卷Part I Reading Comprehension(本题共15小题,每题2分,共30分)Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneWhen John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples—people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes . Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1.Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.2. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A.

Only those who don't have enough money like to rent furniture.D. The furniture people rent is usually not as good as they have expected.5. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.C. Furnished Apartments.D. A New Idea.Passage TwoYou don't need millions to be happy. In fact, at The Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough. The institute opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $140 for lessons on how to feel happy. “You can actually increase your happiness levels. That's what we teach," said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute. Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income, assets and other financial factors. As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships. Most of us have more money than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven't changed to reflect that. Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food aremet, additional wealth adds very little to happiness. Part of the reason we are richer but not happier is because we compare ourselves to people better off materially. “The argument is that if you want to be happy there's a very simple thing you can do: Compare yourself to people who are less well off than you.” said Sharp. The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account.” “If Icompare myself to Bill Gates then I'm always going to be down,” said Sharp. A better thing to compare with, he said, might be Kerry Packer, Australia's richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years.6. The main purpose of the Happiness Institute is to ________ (Para.1).A. teach you how to increase your happiness levels.B. teach you how to be better-off financially.C. help you find the right partner of your life.D. help you understand the importance of wealth to happiness.7. Most of the happiness comes from ________.A. incomeB. assetsC. attitudeD.food8. Which of the following is true?A. Just as we are richer than our parents and grandparents, so we are happier.B. Happiness levels have been increasing since the days of our parents and grandparents.C. The key to happiness is to get as rich as possible.D.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself . He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got marriedand moved with his wife to a very rich neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses. Momand went riding horses every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. His series were very popular at that time.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.11.

2016年江苏省五年一贯制专转本英语试题(模拟)PartⅠReading Comprehension(每题2分,共30分)Directions : there are 3 reading passages in this part . Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A , B , C and D choose the best answer to each questionPassage oneIn England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus . Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria willmost probably leave you thirsty . In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'—a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top. In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .1.The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .A. were foreignersB. didn't have ticketsC. made a loud noiseD. didn't line up for the bus2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.A. learn the language of the countryB. understand the manners and customs of the countryC. have enough time and moneyD. make friends with the people there3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.B. to pass food with the left hand.C. to eat food with your hands.D. to help yourself at table.4. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.A. a common (平常的) habitB. an important mannerC. a serious (严重的) troubleD. a bad manner5. The best title (题目) for this article is ________.A. People's Everyday LifeB. Mind Your MannersC. Shaking and Nodding HeadD. Taking a Bus in EnglandPassage twoJeans have become one piece of clothing worn by the most people in the world. Everybody wears them, from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular?You’ll get many answers. For some people they look cool, for others jeans are just comfortable.Jeans were first stronger trousers made for farm workers in the states of theAmerican west. In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. They were connected with farm people and the workers. So the rich wouldn’t like to wear them.It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. They were a symbol of the rebellion of young people during the 1950s and 1960s. So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. As time went on,jeans became more acceptable. American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when they were not on duty to show that they were Americans. The trousers showed the world a happier way of life, something that people needed, especially after what they had gone through in World War II.Jeans had other advantages as well. They didn’t need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didn’t need to iron them. This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework. Today jeans are an important part of our lives. They are always washed a few times before they are sold to give them a faded look.6:Jeans first appeared ___________.A.in eastern America B.in western AmericaC.in Middle America D.all over America7:From the passage, we can know that James Dean and Marlon Brando were .A.film stars B.Jeans makersC.young students D.farmers or workers8:What is the possible meaning of the underlined “rebellion”in this passage?

五年制高职专转本英语考试模拟卷(考试时间:90分钟)I. Reading Comprehension (本题共15小题,每题2分,共30分)Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Passage OneIn every school there is “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, if the crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters, then very soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red sweater is really unsuitable.The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink and to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the slaughter(屠杀).Now it’s possible that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact you probably did something you knew to be wrong one time or another. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No”.Develop your own standards(标准)and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, you’d better take the courage to bow out in a polite way. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.1.

Rules for TeensPassage Two"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms and she moved the cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(吃力地喘着气). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.“You should get in touch with other young people,” his mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boy’s father talked with the family doctor about his ears. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got,” the doctor replied.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but it’s a secret.”The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的)service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.”“You could, my son,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.”The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材). Slowly, the father stretched forth(伸出) a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears."Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"6. Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?A. Because her son had a tiny face.B. Because she saw her son crying.C. Because her son was in her arms.D. Because her son was born imperfect.7. Who gave the son the ears?A. His mother.B. His father.C. A doctor.D. A stranger.8. The underlined word “reveal” in the last but one paragraph means “________”.A. seeB. showC. findD. search9.

The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers that ________.A. The secret was kept until the mother died.B. Real love lies in what is done but not known.C. The operation on the boy was a great success.D. The boy entered the diplomatic service when he grew up.Passage ThreeTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century tha t women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.11. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented ________.A. in ancient ChinaB. in ancient EgyptC. in ancient GreeceD. in ancient Rome12. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A. No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was.B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C. The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.D. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella.13. A strange feature of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as ________.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of honor and powerD. women’s decoration14. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain ________.A. during the Middle AgesB. by the eighteenth centuryC. in RomeD. in Greece15. This passage talks mainly about ________.A. when and how the umbrella was inventedB. why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC. the development of the umbrellaD. the history and use of the umbrellaII.

五年制高职专转本英语考试模拟卷(考试时间:90分钟)I. Reading Comprehension (本题共15小题,每题2分,共30分)Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Passage OneIn every school there is “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, if the crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters, then very soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red sweater is really unsuitable.The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink and to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the slaughter(屠杀).Now it’s possible that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact you probably did something you knew to be wrong one time or another. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No”.Develop your own standards(标准)and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, you’d better take the courage to bow out in a polite way. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.1.

Rules for TeensPassage Two"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. When the baby was lying in her arms and she moved the cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped(吃力地喘着气). The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Luckily, time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. Though the misfortune(不幸)happened to him, he grew into a handsome boy. Yet he felt ashamed when he communicated with others.“You should get in touch with other young people,” his mother told him, with a kindness in her heart. The boy’s father talked with the family doctor about his ears. “Could nothing be done?” the father asked. “I believe I could give him a pair of outer ears, if they could be got,” the doctor replied.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You are going to the hospital, Son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need, but it’s a secret.”The operation is a big success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic(外交的)service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.”“You could, my son,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.”The years kept their secret, but one of the darkest days did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材). Slowly, the father stretched forth(伸出) a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears."Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"6.

The operation on the boy was a great success.D. The boy entered the diplomatic service when he grew up.Passage ThreeTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century tha t women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.11. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented ________.A. in ancient ChinaB. in ancient EgyptC. in ancient GreeceD. in ancient Rome12. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A. No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was.B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C. The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.D. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella.13. A strange feature of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as ________.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of honor and powerD. women’s decoration14. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain ________.A. during the Middle AgesB. by the eighteenth centuryC. in RomeD. in Greece15. This passage talks mainly about ________.A. when and how the umbrella was inventedB. why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC. the development of the umbrellaD. the history and use of the umbrellaII.
