Directions;Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A. B. C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET. (20 points)Questions 41 〜45 are based on the following passage.Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is, the choice—from basic bam to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle 一is all part of fun.HostelsCheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them. Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse(临时住房)while others are remarkably comfortable 一almost like bargain hotels.Youth hotelsFounded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside", the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside.B&BsThe B&B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody's house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you'll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around £ 12 to £20 per person. City B&Bs charge about £25 to £30 per person, although they're often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.Pubs & InnsAs well as selling drinks and meals, Britain's pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.Rates range from around £15 to £25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.41.In this passage the author mainly.A. tells us where to stay while visiting BritainB. advises readers to pay a visit to BritainC. introduces the wonderful public services in BritainD. gives us some information about British life42.are mainly built for young visitors.A. Pubs & InnsB. Youth HotelsC. HostelsD. B&Bs43.If you travel alone and want to know better about family life in Britain, you'd better stay in.A. Pubs & InnsB. Youth HotelsC. HostelsD. B&Bs44.If you are interested in traveling with your friends but only with limited means,where is the better place for you to stay?.A. Pubs & InnsB. Youth HotelsC. HostelsD. B&Bs45.Which of the following is NOT true according to the last part of the passage?A.Pubs and inns usually provide visitors bed and breakfast.B.All pubs and inns offer visitors bed and breakfast.C.Pubs and inns charge a visitor £25 at the most.D.If you want a single room, you are more likely to get one in pubs.Questions 46〜50 are based on the folio-wing passage.There were once many sheiks （阿拉伯的酋长）who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia.However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands. These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was hard for the Queen to choose the best one.One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat.The first sheik gave her some stale （不新鲜的）food left over from the day before.The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel's tail.The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender （嫩的）and tasty meat.The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.Queen Maura was certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry.“Hakim is the most generous of you," she told them, “so I want to marry him and he will become king.,,46.What was Queen looking for?A. A sheik.B. A king.C. A man.D. A husband.47.Why did the Queen disguise herself?B. Some stale food.D. Three different meals. B. Because it was too tasty.A. Because she didn't want to be recognized by the sheiks.B. Because she wanted to get an evening meal.C. Because she wanted to get some hard food.D. Because she wanted to get some tasty food.48. What did she give the sheiks to eat the next evening? A. An evening meal. C. A plate of tender and tasty meat.49. Why didn't Hakim want to eat his meal?A. Because he was not hungry.C. Because the other sheiks had worse food.D. Because the other sheiks had better food.50. When did the Queen finally decide who to marry?A. When she went to see Hakim.B. The next evening after the meal.C. The next day.D. When Hakim refused to eat his meal. VI. Directions;Put each of the following sentences into English or Chinese, using the word given in51. When he was picked up, he kept talking about awful creatures with horrible eyes that stared at him as they led him onto a spaceship.52. Burns happen most often to children and the elderly, usually in the bathroom, when the water is too hot.53. Learn as much as you can about likely coming events, so that you can anticipate them well in advance.54. 旅行不应只是去发现现在，而且也应该去发现未来。

He felt angry at the students' rudeness.C. He wanted to make the students come on time later.D. He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.3. It can be inferred from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation that________.A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late.B. neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC. being late in one culture may not be considered so in another cultureD. Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time4. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil ________.A. it is important to arrive at the appointed timeB. it is rude to keep the professor staying after classC. it is normal for students to leave during lecturesD. it is acceptable for professors to be late for class5. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B. The important of being on time differs among cultures.C. People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in.D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.Passage TwoThe rise of multinational corporations, global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR. Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries.Ten years ago, for example, the world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate planning activities, compared to about one third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR.Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, Publications not often read in this country. Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN(Cable News Network). Turner recently announced that the work "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.6. According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened because of _______.A. an unparalleled increase in the number of public relations companiesB. shrinking cultural differences and new communications technologiesC. the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.D. increased efforts of other countries in public relations7. London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because_______.A. British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companiesB. British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companiesC. British companies are heavily involved in planning activitiesD. four of the world's top public relations agencies are British-owned8. The word "provincial" (Line 2, Para. 3) most probably means "_______".A. limited in outlookB. like people from the provincesC. rigid in thinkingD. interested in world financial affairs9. We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry_______.A. speak at least one foreign language fluentlyB. are ignorant about world geographyC. are not as sophisticated as their European counterpartsD. enjoy reading a great variety of English business publications10. What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN?A. American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.B. The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.C. People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.D. People involved in PR should avoid using the word "foreign".Passage ThreeEarlier this year, the American College of Surgeons, the national scientific and educational organization of surgeons, conducted a nationwide survey that found that the average patient devotes an hour or less to researching his or her surgery or less to researching his surgery or surgeon.While prospective patients worry about the costs or complications of an operation, they don't necessarily look for information that would address their concern In fact, more than a third of patients who had an operation in the last five years never reviewed the credentials of the surgeon who operated. Patients are more likely to spend time researching a job change (on average, about 10 hours) or a new car (8 hours) than the operation they are about to submit to or the surgeon who wields the knife. And南通大学2013-2014学年第二学期综合英语（四）（闭卷）试题册（B）第 5 页共 6 页many patients are satisfied with the answers they receive from their surgeon or primary care doctor, whoever those individuals happen to me.I felt curious about the survey, so I called Dr. Thomas Russell, executive director of the American College of Surgeons. "There is a tendency for patients not to get particularly involved and not to feel compelled to look into their surgery or surgeons," he told me.There are consequences to that kind of blind trust. "Today, medicine and surgery are really team sports, Dr. Russell continued, and the patient, as the ultimate decision maker, is the most important member of the team. Mistakes can happiness and parents have to be educated and must understand what is going on.In other words, a healthy doctor - patient relation dose not simply entail good bedside manners and responsible office management on the doctor. It also requires that patients come to the relationship educated about their doctors，their illness and their treatment."If we are truly going to reform the health care system in the U.S.," Dr.Russell said, "everybody has to participate actively and must educate themselves. That means doctors, nurses, other health care professional, lawyers, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies. But most of all, it means the patient."Trust is important. But as Sir Francis Bacon1, who was among the first to understand the importance of gathering data in science, once observed, knowledge is power.11. Patients do not seem to spend enough timeA researching job changes.B researching new cars.C researching their surgery or surgeons.D researching the American College of Surgeons.12. It appears that patients nowadays haveA little trust in their doctorsB too much trust in their doctorsC too much information about their doctors.D a healthy relationship with their doctors.13. The most important role in medicine and surgery should be playedA by pharmaceutical and insurance companies.B by doctors and nurses.C by lawyers.D by patients.14. It's a mistaken idea that a healthy doctor-patient relationshipA is a goal that can be achieved.B is what the patient desires.C is dependent just on the doctor.D also entails efforts made by the patient15. The author does NOT believe inA Francis Bacon.B blind trust.C scientific data.D the power of knowledge.Passage FourIn general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small well-oiled cog（齿轮）in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and ―human relations‖ experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The worker and employee are anxious not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction of interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again—by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow－competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century ―free enterprise‖ capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities—those of all love and of reason—are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.16.By ―a well-oiled cog in the machinery‖ the author intends to render the idea that manisA. a necessary part of the society though each individual’s function is negligibleB. working in complete harmony with the rest of the societyC. an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though functioningsmoothlyD. a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly南通大学2013-2014学年第二学期综合英语（四）（闭卷）试题册（B）第 6 页共 6 页。

ATrain the important skills modern editors use to evaluate and enhance writing for clarity,precision and accuracy.In this course,students will learn how an editor approaches a submitted piece,going beyond sentence-level error and looking at the big picture around accuracy,style and organization.Understanding the different challenges in an editor's job,students will get a behind-the-scenes look at this sometimes busy and often exciting career. Meanwhile,students will grow their own technical editing skills and return home a more competent editor.Using Gen Z Era as their case study,students will meet and study under the people who decide what topics are relevant and valuable to the audience and who determine the overall editorial strategy,ensuring that the content meets the standards and tone of the publication.微信公众号IAI EnglishCourse Highlights●Visit the media city and attend lectures by award-winning guest speakers.●Assess articles as well as question and coach the authors to get the best piece possible.●Connect with professionals who manage the development and publication of accurate and worthy content.●Edit one piece into a well-written and fact-checked article in the style of Gen Z Era.Price●Residential Program(Students live on campus):$6,600●Day Program(Students commute to class every day):$5,500(Graduating seniors can have a$400discount if applying before May2,2024.)Term Date:July9-July21,2024Application Deadline:Friday,May31,2024Contact Admission:******************21.Which is the probable name of the course?A.Career Development in Media.B.Editorial Decision-making.C.Fundamentals of Editing.D.Introduction to Publication.22.What will students do in the course?A.Interview award-winning guests.B.Help authors improve their articles.C.Connect with professional publishers.D.Edit one article for Gen Z Era.23.A graduating senior applying for a Day Program on April30,2024should pay_______.A.$5,100B.$5,500C.$6,200D.$6,600BCourage is a huge theme in my life,a quality I constantly seek,appreciate,and analyze.The root of“courage”is“cor,”the Latin word for heart.Originally,courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays,I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughter and some college students,I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest,she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked,I called out to the front for help,but there was no response,and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately,two students just came back to check out on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As we continued at a slower pace,they shared their own experiences,from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,”one of them said,looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace,you'll get there too.”“Yeah,don't let your lack of experience stop you,”the other added.“It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright.In fact,it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That's how we improve and grow.”微信公众号IAI EnglishReaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However,the two students addressed the celebrating group directly,emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery,and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group.Courage,I've come to realize,has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage,we inspire those around us to be a little brave r and make the world a little better.24.Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A.To argue for the true essence of courage.B.To question the common belief of courage.C.To show the changing meaning of courage.D.To compare different interpretations of courage.25.What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A.Challenge her own limits.B.Seek help whenever possible.C.Keep to a suitable pace.D.Stick with experienced climbers.26.Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A.The mother asked the girl to rest.B.The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C.The group celebrated the reach of the top.D.The two students pointed out the group's fault.27.What does the author intend to tell us?A.Kindness connects us all.B.Being a beginner takes courage.C.With courage,everyone can be perfect.D.We don't have to be a hero to be brave.C“It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,”says Patrick Navis.“Not to mention when they taste it.One even cried with happiness.”The setting for these tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city.Here,the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs,roots, flowers and nuts—some common,others less so.微信公众号IAI EnglishMost of these ingredients(食材)come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby.To the untrained eye,it's like an ordinary wood.But there's one key difference:everything in it is edible.It was set up in2009by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming,to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest,without chemicals.“It's the first‘food forest’of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over400different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about."He harvests the ingredients and,with his fellow chefs,works them into beautifully presented tasting menus,served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,“To us,fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant,its location,expensive decoration,fancy cooking and wine list,”says Navis.“It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of,which are grown with great attention.”However,he adds,luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.“When looking at cooking in this way,who can argue that caviar(鱼子酱),for example,is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?”微信公众号IAI EnglishExperimentation is extremely important to Navis.In the next five years,he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant.But for now,the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest,reducing the need for replanting each season.28.What can we learn about Navis's restaurant?A.It is well received by its guests.B.It serves food with moving stories.C.It offers experimental food for free.D.It is known for its rare food sources.29.How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods?A.It is a natural forest.B.Diverse plants coexist in it.C.Plants there take longer to grow.D.It provides safe food ingredients.30.What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis?A.Convenient locations.B.Expensive ingredients.C.Innovative menus.D.Fancy cooking techniques.31.What does“the perennial system”in the last paragraph probably refer to?A.The sustainable farming practice.B.Farming with proper use of chemicals.C.Natural farming without human intervention.D.An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.DMy father started learning French at57,drawn by the potential benefits of bilingualism in delaying dementia (失智症).Now,20years later,he's on his third teacher.Many people like my father have attempted to pick up a new language.But can this really boost brain health?According to experts,regularly using a new language brings cognitive(认知的)benefits.If you're trying to recall the right words in another language,your brain is forced to inhibit your mother tongue.This process,called cognitive inhibition,helps improve your brain function.Repeating this process makes your brain more resistant to diseases like dementia.The more you challenge your brain,the better it functions,even if your brain health starts to decline.However,evidence for the benefits of learning a second language in your60s is weaker.Research by Dr.Leo Antoniou found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn't see any difference in their cognition scores,but people who didn't saw their scores decline.Prof.Diana Smith's2023studies found similarresults.微信公众号IAI EnglishResearchers offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results.One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers,probably of high cognitive level for their age,making it hard to see any improvements.“When choosing participants,we have to be careful,are they really representative of the population?”said Dr.Judith Ware.Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short.These studies have used language lessons that“were very different in their length and frequency,”said ura Grossman.To Dr.Antoniou,the limited findings are not entirely surprising.No one would say that learning a new language for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life.But he does think that language lessons can provide cognitive benefits by being cognitively stimulating.微信公众号IAI English Perhaps more important,Prof.Grossman said,learning another language offers other potential advantages, like traveling or connecting with new communities.My father,for example,has remained pen friends with his first teacher and traveled to France numerous times.And at76,he's as sharp as ever.32.What happens in the process of“cognitive inhibition”?A.Memory improves.B.Native language is held back.C.Dementia is cured.D.Brain health
