Moreover, high school students acquir e knowledge and skills mainly through teacher’s instructions. In contrast, besides attending lectures, college students are expected to learn on their own, and develop critical thinking.Translation10作为世界上唯一一个真正具有普遍性的世界组织，联合国已经成为处理超越国界、而且任何一个国家都无法独立解决的问题的首要论坛。

unit 8Part 1 Reading comprehensionDirections: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Manners evolved differently in different cultures. In earlier times there was a tendency for manners to become increasingly formal, and this was often viewed as progress. In the 18th and 19th centuries having good manners was seen as an important part of one's education and social class, and it was necessary to be taken as a lady or a gentleman to get ahead in the world.In the 20th and 21st centuries, manners have gradually become more relaxed and informal. The hosting of dinners and other social gatherings are no longer the exclusive privilege of the wealthy elite (精英), and private clubs are being gradually replaced by more open meeting places. So the manners of the salon (沙龙) are gradually combining with the manners of the pub. Clothing is a good indication of the changes in manners, as can be seen in the following examples.It is surprising that the wearing of hats indoors by males is once again becoming acceptable. Students in North America often wear baseball caps to class. In many countries the wearing of hats indoors by males was once acceptable even in very polite society, but over the years this became considered as a lower-class behavior and was thus discouraged in both the middle and upper classes. The young people who wear hats indoors do not realize they are actually restarting a very old cultural tradition.A comparable development for females is the wearing of jeans. Many females now wear jeans on a daily basis, either at home or at work. Some see this as a symbolic declaration that they are now modern women, not girls or ladies. Some girls, like boys, wear baseball caps both indoors and outdoors.Sneakers and shorts are now acceptable for either males or females in a variety of non-athletic situations. Some companies have rules requiring informal dress such as jeans or sneakers on Fridays (called "dress-downFriday" or "casual Friday"), and others permit it almost all the time. In these companies, and many others, it is acceptable to call the bosses by their first names.1.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Changes of manners over time.B. Formal manners in the earlier times.C. Different manners in different cultures.D. Development of manners in different classes.2.In the 20th and 21st centuries, _________.A. manners are not as formal as in the pastB. manners in a pub are getting more and more formalC. proper clothing is a good indication of good mannersD. rich people no longer behave formally in social gatherings3.According to the passage, "the manners of the salon" in paragraph2 most likely refers to __________.A. Formal manners of drinking.B. Informal manners of drinking.C. Formal manners at social gatherings.D. Informal manners at social gatherings.4.According to the passage, nowadays wearing a hat indoors canactually be viewed as _________.A. a revolutionB. social progressC. a worsening situationD. a return to the old tradition5.According to the author, today wearing hats indoors, and wearingjeans at work mainly indicate that _________.A. women are no longer inferior to menB. people no longer pay attention to dressing detailsC. people are getting more relaxed in terms of mannersD. some companies have lower requirements for their employeesQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, the evolving role of Japanese women had been most obvious in their attitudes toward marriage and the family system. There had been a trend away from arranged marriages. Many young women admitted that they took paid employment mostly in order to find a husband on their own. In spite of this and other influences a 1982 figure showed that almost 40 percent of marriages were still arranged. This figure was, however, half the size of a 1955 survey which showed that almost 81 percent of marriages were arranged. Once married, many women in the early 1980s continued to work, and increasingly they returned to work after childbirth, something which was hard to imagine a generation before. A woman's role in the family was evolving as well, becoming more and more dominant.Women had sought more personal satisfaction from their lives since 1950s. In the beginning of the1980s, during their lives before marriage women made up an almost free-wheeling (随心所欲) part of Japanese society. A survey of new brides reported that only 12 percent expected their marriage to be happy. At that time, Japanese still regarded marriage not as the peak of a romance but as a duty that was primarily social and practical in significance. As a result, Japanese women took full advantage of their years before marriage. Most women remained at home while working, living with their family in a sort of extended dependency. Japanese women, however, must be careful to maintain themselves within acceptable social standards, one woman being told, "If you act like that, you will not be wanted as a bride."Once married a Japanese women found herself in a role opposite of the perceived sex roles in Japan – the female was dominant in the house. The relationship between the partners of a Japanese marriage clearly showed the evolving role of women. It must be remembered that a short one hundred years ago the attitude toward women was that "In everything she must obey her husband". By the early 1980s the role of women had changed: A Japanese woman had almost unquestioned power within the family system of today's Japan.6.What is the passage mainly about?A. Changes in the role of Japanese women.B. Changes in the styles of Japanese marriages.C. Japanese women's struggle for independence.D. Japanese women's increased power in their families.7.What did the author say about Japanese women before the 1950s?A. Many women continued to work after marriage.B. A majority of women had their marriages arranged.C. Only less than half of women had arranged marriages.D. Many women went to work in order to find a husband.8.What was marriage in many Japanese people's eyes in the early1980s?A. It was the end of their romance.B. It was the beginning of a happy life.C. It was a social responsibility one has to fulfill.D. It was the highest point of their romantic relationship.9.Which of the following was the main cause for most Japanesewomen in the early 1980s to take full advantage of their years before marriage?A. They believed they would no longer have a happy life aftermarriage.B. They knew they could not be as dominant as before after gettingmarried.C. They should not go beyond acceptable social standards aftermarriage.D. They would no longer have time to work after marriage.10."The perceived sex roles" in the last paragraph most probablyrefers to the fact that the wife_________.A. had to obey the husband in the familyB. had to support the husband and his familyC. could make decisions on everything in the familyD. could question some of the husbands' decisionsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. Leadership is the ability of a person to guide people in a group toward achieving a task at hand. I believe that leaders are made; they are not born and a person can always be a good leader if he makes full use of the following list of leadership strengths.Firstly, task execution (实施) is one of the most important leadership strengths. Coming up with a brilliant idea and executing that idea are two completely different things. Bringing an idea to life is a lot easier said than done. An idea really comes to life only when it is executed to perfection. For this, you need to be a team player. There is a fine line between having followers that follow you out of respect and having followers that follow you because they have no choice. Any kind of disagreement in the team will affect the end result and the efficiency of performing the task.Secondly, before you go on to put any kind of strategy into place, you need to understand and envision what you wish to achieve. This is important because the expectations of the entire group will ride on your shoulders. Thus, one of the important leadership strengths is to have a very clear vision about how to go about a task at hand, keeping thelong-term and short-term goals and consequences in mind. You need to be practical yet optimistic about the possibilities involved in any task and must take into consideration all the risks involved.Thirdly, being the leader does not mean that you own the people you work with. Many people tend to get carried away and do not listen to their team members. This can go against them as the team members then tend to lose respect for their leader. You need to genuinely listen to your team members because they are the only ones that will tell you if you go wrong at any point of time. Furthermore, listening will make sure that you connect with your team members on a personal level, which will improve the performance of your team greatly.11.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one ofthe leadership strengths?A. Lending an ear to team members.B. Performing a task in a perfect way.C. Accepting mistakes with good grace.D. Planning for the future with a clear goal.12.According to Paragraph 2, a good leader should ___________.A. lead his followers with absolute authorityB. make his followers follow him out of respectC. be able to find out who is a true follower in the teamD. focus on creating new ideas instead of executing them13.What does "envision" most probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. To remain optimistic about future results.B. To focus all his attention on long-term goals.C. To meet the expectations of the entire team members.D. To forecast the possible achievements and consequences.14.Which of the following should be avoided as a good leader?A. Holding a realistic attitude.B. Considering short-term goals.C. Thinking about the bad results of a plan.D. Ignoring disagreement from his team members.15.What is the author's attitude about becoming a good leader?A. You can be a good leader if you have talents.B. You can be a good leader if you have a good team.C. You can be a good leader if you acquire the essential skills.D. You can be a good leader as long as you are determined to be one.。

英语专业八级考试阅读理解练习欧阳引擎（2021.01.01）In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence –as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie arefinding it harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law. Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other's problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. "Talk, talk, talk," the advocates of violence say, "all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser." It's rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he wasnone the wiser. "Possible, my lord," the barrister replied, "none the wiser, but surely far better informed." Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.1. What is the best title for this passage?[A] Advocating Violence.[B] Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice.[C] Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution.[D] The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.2. Recorded history has taught us[A] violence never solves anything. [B] nothing. [C] the bloodshed means nothing. [D] everything.3. It can be inferred that truly reasonable men[A] can't get a hearing. [B] are looked down upon. [C] are persecuted. [D] Have difficulty in advocating law enforcement.4. "He was none the wiser" means[A] he was not at all wise in listening.[B] He was not at all wiser than nothing before.[C] He gains nothing after listening.[D] He makes no sense of the argument.5. According the author the best way to solve race prejudice is[A] law enforcement. [B] knowledge. [C] nonviolence. [D] Mopping up the violent mess.难句译注：1.What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. 【结构简析】when it comes to the crunch = when / if the decisive moment comes.当关键时刻来到时。

Unit1 奔向更加光明的未来欧阳歌谷（2021.02.01）1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。

你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。

在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。

2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。

妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。

”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。

”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。

至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。

3 让我来告诉你们,一些你们未必预料得到的事情。

你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。

你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。

4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。

在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。

你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。

你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。

我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。

5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。

你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。

如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。

选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。

这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。

一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。

随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。
