二十一世纪报纸高三版阅读文章1. My Italian Treat (BCAD)Everyone has heard of the famous Italian dishes of pasta (面食) and pizza, far fewer have actually had the chance to taste them in Italy. But I was lucky enough to visit the country with my school and enjoyed my fill of these and other lively foods. We went to the town of Vietri, Salerno, in southern Italy.On the fist day, we were told that dinner would be at 7:30, but it actually began at 7:50. Our teachers had told us in advance about the relaxed pace of Italian life ! But still, we were starving (饥饿的). However, once it did, it was worth all the waiting.The sea-food salad was delicious, not too sour and not too salty. The cheeses were a different matter; I had heard they were famous, but it took me a while to get used to them. The fruits were excellent, so fresh they tasted as if they had just been picked.As we had been banned from drinking alcohol, we sipped (吮吸) water, instead of wine at meals. There were two types, one was ordinary, the other sparkling (发泡的) water. It tasted like a flavorless soda.During the visit, we discovered that real Italian pizza was very different from anything we had tasted before. It was cheap, savory(美味的) and had a soft texture (质地). My favorite was a plain one with just a cheese topping. Once I ate a whole one, almost 20cm in diameter (直径). I so stuffed (塞满) myself that I felt ill at the end of the meal.To be honest, unlike the other, I didn‘t much like the pasta. Perhaps I am too much in love with Chinese noodles to really take to them.My friend and I walked the whole of the town trying out different kinds of pastry (糕饼). The combination of sugar, cream and chocolate made them delicious. But if you hadn‘t had a sweet tongue, you would not have liked them, since they were very sweet.Every day, last thing in the evening, we had ice cream at a local store. We tried all the flavors ! It was so satisfying to go to bed on a full stomach with the memory of a whole day of eating fresh in your mind. Here‘s hoping that you too get to sample the wonderful food of Italy !1. In the article, the writer mainly tells us about _________.A. Italian pizzaB. her experience of trying Italian foodsC. the beautiful sights of ItalyD. Italy‘s mysterious traditions2.

Hard Road to Success (BADC)I had my fist job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen, who did what she loved –serving people. She made everyone smile and feel good.Being a waitress changed my life. One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman. When I saw him walking toward the diner, I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.Thanks to the confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan（贷款）, they said: ―We just don‘t have the money. ―The next day, Fred saw me and asked;‖ What‘s wrong, sunshine ?‖ I shared my dream with him and said :‖Fred, I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me. ―He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling $50,000 ---along with a note. It reads: ―The only collateral(担保物) on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true.‖I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, a brokerage house (经纪人事务所), where the money was invested (投资) for me. But my investments soured (变坏，令人失望) and I lost the money.I found myself thinking about what it would be like to be a stockbroker（股票经纪人）. I decided to apply for(申请) a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good broker. I paid back Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest.I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted （铭记）on my heart forever. He had been sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his medical bills. His letter read: ― That loan may have been one of my best investments. Who else could have invested in a counter (柜台) ‗girl‘ and watch that investment mature (成熟) into a very successful career woman ?‖5. Which choice gives the events below in the correct order ?a.

Would you be prepared to let a stranger crash (夜宿) out there for the night ? Just on the basis of a short e-mail correspondence (通信) and seeing a photo of the sofa, would you travel halfway across the world to do the same ? It might sound crazy, but this is exactly what millions of people are doing –its known as couch (沙发) surfing.Couch surfing is traveling on a budget, using a broad network of contacts in order to get overnight accommodation for free, or at as little cost as possible. Participants join dedicated （专业的）websites, providing as much information about themselves as possible in order to make others feel comfortable hosting them, or using them as a host.Various safety features are available in such online networks, like verification (确认) of names and addresses, personal references, and ―vouching (担保) for‖a particular member as a reliable host or guest.As well as the financial advantages of couch surfing, participants also claim that the practice gives them a more unique, authentic travel experience, allowing them to get to know culture and cuisine (美食) through the locals, rather than through tour agents. ―Couch Surfing is not just about finding free accommodation. We open our minds and lives and welcome the knowledge that becomes available through cultural exchange,‖ said Casey Fenton, founder of . ―CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to the world.‖1. What is the right order for someone planning to travel as a couch surfer ?a. Provide as much information about themselves as possible.b. Travle to the host‘s house to use the couch.c. Join dedicated websites.d. Send emails and check photos of sofas.A. d-b-a-cB. b-c-a-dC. a-d-c-bD. c-a-d-b2. Which of the following is NOT a safety feature of online networks ?A.

A more personal, local, real travel experience is possible as a couch surfer.B. Couch surfing tests how much a stranger can be trusted.C. People couch surf simply for financial reasons.D. Couch surfing leads to trust between people.4. Why Laughter Matters (4.12)So a scientist walks into a shopping mall to watch people laugh. There‘s no punchline(笑点). Laughter is a serous scientific subject, one that researchers are still trying to figure out.Laughing is our first way of communication. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches you how to laugh. You just do.You may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools‘ Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke, says Baltimore neuroscientist (神经科学家) Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for decades. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather than reaction to a joke.―Laughter above all else is a social thing," Provine says. Over the years, Provine has boiled laughter down to its basics.―All language groups laugh ‗ha-ha-ha‘ basically the same way,‖ he said, ―Whether you speakMandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There‘s a pattern generator (发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.‖Each ―ha‖ is about one-15th of a second, repeated every fifth of a second, repeated every fifth of a second, he said.Deaf people laugh without hearing, and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn‘t dependent on a single sense but on social interaction(交流) with life,‖ said Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University psychology professor. ―It‘s deeply social.‖And it‘s not just a people thing either. Chimps tickle (挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Panksepp studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled. They return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, Panksepp and other scientists can figure out what‘s going on in the brain during laughter. And it holds promise for human ills.Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target （目标）in their effort to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself hasn‘t been proven to be the best medicine, experts said.Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California studied whether laughter helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit for laughter alone.―No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,‖Provine said, largely because it‘s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn‘t really matter: ―Isn‘t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?‖1. Who has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant?A. Margaret StuberB. Jeffrey BurgdorfC. Robert ProvineD. Jaak Panksepp2. The most important finding of Robert Provine‘s research is that __________.A. laughter is a social response shared by all humansB. laughter is a quality people are born withC. laughter depends on different sensesD. laughter makes a person feel good3. Chimps are mentioned in the article because________.A. they enjoy making fun of peopleB. they build ties through laughingC. they often challenge each otherD. they also love to laugh4. What can we infer from the article?A. All animals like to laugh.B. A new medicine has been developed based on laughter research.C. Scientists now understand what is happening in the human brain when someone laughs.D. Laughter is a language that aids communication.5. What can we conclude from the article?A. Laughter can directly improve people‘s health.B. Scientists have proved that laughter is the best medicine for people.C. Distraction and mood improvement can help patients to recover.D. Only 20 to 25 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke.5. Keep believing in yourself (4.12)The professor stood before his class of 30 senior molecular(分子的) biology students, about to pass out the final exam. ―I have been privileged(荣幸的) to be your instructor this semester, and I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school or grad school next fall,‖ he said to them.―I am wee aware of how much pressure you are under to keep your GPAs (平均成绩) up, and because I know you are all capable of understanding this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic ‗B‘ to anyone who would prefer not to take the final.‖The relief was audible (听的见的) as a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and left the class.The professor looked at the handful of students who remained, and offered again, ― Any other takers? This is your last opportunity.‖One more student decided to go.There were seven students left. The professor closed the door and took attendance. Then he handed out the final exam.There were two sentences typed on the paper: ― Congratulations, you have just received an ‗A‘in this class. Keep believing in yourself.‖I never had a professor who gave a test like that. It may seem like the easy way out of gradinga bunch of exams, but it‘s a test that any teacher in any discipline(学科) could and should give. Students who don‘t have confidence in what they‘ve learned are ―B‖ students at best.The same is true for students of real life. The ―A‖students are those who believe in what they‘re doing because they‘ve learned from both successes and failures. They‘ve absorbed life‘s lessons, whether form formal education or the school of hard knocks, and become better people.Take your cue(榜样) from Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit (顶点) of Qomolangma; ―It‘s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.‖Don‘t let the biggest limit be yourself.1. The professor offered to give an automatic ―B‖ to those who would prefer not to take the final because_______.A. he thought all of his students had prepared for the test well.B. he believed all the students were able to pass the examC. he didn‘t want to place too much pressure on his studentsD. he intended to tell his students about the importance of confidence2. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Most of the students would go to medical school shortly after the exam.B. 22 students got a ―B‖ in the final test without doing the paper.C. There were no problems on the test paper for the students to work out.D. The way the professor tested his students would not be suitable for other subjects.3. According to the author, the test given by the professor was_________.A. funnyB. instructiveC. confusingD. inappropriate4. The point of the story is to advise readers_________.A. to stay focused on what they can doB. to surround themselves with confident peopleC. not to put up with being second bestD. not the let themselves be the biggest obstacle to their growth6. Terror Hits Moscow(4.5) (ABAB)Two deadly bomb(炸弹) attacks on Moscow‘s metro stations on March 29 have revived (唤起) fears of an old threat to Russia: black widows (寡妇)---the female suicide(自杀) bombers from Russia‘s separatist regions.Russia has said a pair of ―black widows‖ made the attacks, which killed at least 39 people and injured over 60.―Black widow‖is a term given to women wearing black robes(长袍) who have lost their husbands, brothers or close relatives in Chechen wars Russia fought against separatist rebels(叛乱分子) in the 1990s.Chechnya is located in southern Russia‘s North Caucasus(高加索) regions. Most people there are Muslims. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Chechnya sought independence, which Russia was against. Two wars broke out. The second war ended in 2000 with the victory of the Russia central government. But periodic fighting continues in the mountains and southern region.The two wars made many Chechen women lose their loved ones. Heartbroken and intent upon revenge(复仇), black widows, who are usually poorly educated, can therefore be recruited(招募) and trained up by Islamist extremists(极端分子).During the wars, Russia‘s military operations accidentally injured or killed local civilians. It only creates desperation, analysts say. Poverty in the region adds fuel to anger.It has been six years since the black widows last struck Russian cities. In 2004, black widows blew up two passenger planes that took off from Moscow airport, and bombed the Moscow metro twice. They also took part in the shocking siege(围攻) of Beslan‘s Number One High School. Hundreds of innocent civilians, including 186 children, lost their lives in the incident.Russian leaders promised to fight those behind the March 29 attacks. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said those behind the attacks must be scraped ―from the bottom of the sewers(下水道)‖. Russian president Medvedev said: ―We have destroyed terrorists(恐怖分子) and will destroy them.‖ But he also said the government should improve living conditions in the North Causasus to draw people away from extremism.―People want a normal and decent life, no matter where they live.‖ he said.1. Which of the following statements about the two bomb attacks in Russia on March 29 is FALSE?A. They were the first of their kind in Moscow.B. They were made by a pair of desperate women.C. They were connected to Chechnyan rebels.D. They happened at two Moscow metro stations.2. From the article, we can conclude that black widows ________.A. planned three attacks in the Northern Caucasus regionsB. were taken advantage of by intent Islamist extremistsC. have made bomb attacks on metro stations all over the worldD. took revenge but they tried to avoid hurting children3. By saying that those behind the attacks must be scraped ―from the bottom of the sewers‖, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wanted to show _______.A. anger and determinationB. the difficulty of the taskC. how mysterious the attackers wereD. how search operations would be carried out4. What have Russian leaders promised to do ?A. To destroy all the attackers immediatelyB. To deal with the war regions carefully and properly.C. To negotiate with separatist rebels.D. To save black widows from Islamist extremists.7. The hand of friendship(April 5) (CADB)I didn‘t cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally disabled child. I just sat still and didn‘t say anything while my husband and I were informed. I didn‘t know how I would cope.When Kristi was old enough to attend school, we enrolled(使入学) her in our neighborhood kindergarten.On the first morning, Kristi spent hour upon hour playing by herself. It was probably the loneliest she had ever been.However, positive things began to happen to Kristi. Kristi‘s classmates always took pains to praise her:‖ Kristi got all her spelling words right today.‖ No one bothered to add that her spelling list was the easiest.Later, she faced a very traumatic (创伤的) experience. The big public event of the term was a competition based on work in the year‘s musical and physical education. Kristi was way behind in both. My husband and I were dreading the day.What a simple solution it would have been just to let my child stay home! But my conscience (良知) wouldn‘t let me off that easily. So I practically pushed a pale, reluctant (不愿意的) Kristi onto the school bus.It seemed that it would never be time for Kristi‘s group to perform. I was worried. Her class was divided into relay teams. With her limp(跛的) and slow, clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.The performance went well until it was time for the gunnysack (黄麻袋) race. Surely Kristi would find it difficult. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop (跳跃) to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack.I watched Kristi standing near the end of her line of players.But as her turn to participate neared, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy in the line stepped behind Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand and supported her briefly until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.Amid the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.Then I finally cried.1. What problem does the writer‘s daughter have ?A. She is paralyzed.B. She was born deaf.C. She is mentally disabled.D. She is poor at sports.2. The underlined word ―dreading‖ in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.A. fearingB. welcomingC. regrettingD. hating3.

At the end of the story, the writer cried when _____.A. she saw her daughter behaving like a normal human being.B. she saw others helping her daughter.C. she realized that she would never be able to copeD. she realized she could not help her daughter8. 高三模拟题A (AAC)Though we were poor and struggling, my sister managed to buy me a pair of ―magic shoes‖that changed my life.Anne is six years older than me. Growing up, we were very poor, and my mother worked evenings at a factory in a small town. Not seeing my mother much, Anne took over much of the maternal support. During those teenage years, Anne was always there for me, not only as a big sister, but as a mother and my best friend.When I was seventeen and had no money, I thought my only chance of going to college was if I could win a scholarship. I had an important interview for such an award. Anne at that time was struggling on a part-time job. I told her of my interview, that General Motors was sending me a bus ticket, and I would get to visit the city for my scholarship interview. I was excited about the adventure and asked her advice on what to wear. I showed her my best outfit and how I planned to be careful, how I sat so that the hole in the bottom of my shoe would not be seen, but I wasn‘t sure what I would do if it rained.Anne suggested that we go shopping, and we took the bus to a store and we found a beautiful pair of leather shoes on sale. She told me to try them on, but I thought it was just for fun as neither of us ever owned anything that expensive before. But this time was different. Anne handed me the boxed shoes and said, ―Here, I‘ll buy these for you.‖―But…‖ was all I could say.―You deserve them,‖ she replied. ―I want to see you get that scholarship.‖I went to the interview and crossed my legs so that my beautiful new shoes shone with pride. I won the scholarship and became an engineer. Now, after twenty years have passed, I still have that pair of shoes with me, and I just wear them on those little occasions when I need to feel special. It‘s kind of like having magic ruby slippers when you‘re homesick.1. Why did the author say that Anne was like the author‘s mother?A. Because she took care of the author.B. Because Anne was much older than the author.C. Because Ann looked like the author‘s mother.D. Because Anne admired the author‘s mother.2. Anne suggested that they go shopping in order to _____.A. buy a pair of new shoes for the authorB. buy a pair of new shoes for herselfC. repair the author‘s poor shoesD. try on different kinds of clothes3. The interview was successful probably because_____.A. the interviewers noticed her new shoes and liked themB. the author looked especially beautiful wearing the shoesC. the author was confident wit the new shoes onD. the shoes are a pair of ―magic shoes‖9. World Windows (March 29) (BCAD)Andreea, 18, from Romania, sent a photograph of the view from her window and included a brief (简短的) apology: ―Sorry, this picture is plain and boring. No one would like it.‖At home in New Jersey, US, Coreen Burke, 16, clicked on the same image(图像) in her inbox. She saw a village with its rooftops and walls painted in vivid reds and yellows, a distant chimney(烟囱) puffing smoke.―Isn‘t this amazingly different from my country?‖ she thought to herself.Burke, a teenager with a nkack (本领) for computers, saw potential in that rural photo. She posted it to her blog, Outside My Window, which features a daily snapshot(快照) of someone‘s window view around the world.The concept (理念) is simple: We can all relate to the act of staring through a pane of glass, onto the scene on the other side.―Maybe if we understood the way people from all over the world live,‖ she explained, ―we would all get along better than we have been lately (近来).‖With the click of a mouse, you can see Frederic‘s window in the south of France, looking out on sailboats anchored in a tranquil(宁静的) harbor. Or Virginia‘s view in Canada, a winter scene with trees laced in white.Like most high school students, Burke had yet to travel the world. But she says someday she hopes to collect stamps in her passport, starting with Greece and India. Her recent break was devoted to launching the site with a blogger account and recruiting contributors from deviantART, an online art community.She posted the first window view from Switzerland, a sunset captured(拍摄) by an 18-year-old. Then others came flowing in by e-mail, up to seven a day, from as far as Kazakhastan and Indonesia.Contributors are marked on maps tacked on her bedroom wall: A blue dot indicates(表示) their country and a pink dot shows their city., it they provide it. The most responses have come from Europe—Estonia, Poland, Italy, Germany and Sweden, to name a few. She is crossing her fingers that she‘ll receive a photo from Africa or Antarctica, which are unrepresented so far.While she‘s become a cyber crusader (斗士) for appreciating the beauty outside out own windows, get this : She has no windows in her bedroom. She has a nice skylight, though.1. What does Burke think of the picture she received from Andreea ?A. BoringB. CharmingC. StrangeD. Plain2. Outside My Window is a blog intended to show _________.A. the view form Burke‘s windowB. pictures of rural New JerseyC. photos of window views taken by people all over the worldD. beautiful scenes of famous places of interest3.

21世纪大学英语第二册答案【篇一：21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册课文翻译及课后答案】英语读写教程第二册课文翻译及课后答案第一单元 unit1 翻译 texta 温斯顿丘吉尔——他的另一种生活玛丽索姆斯我的父亲温斯顿丘吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的当时他正身处逆境。

1915年作为海军大臣他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的但它却失败了人员伤亡惨重为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价他被免去了海军部的职务失去了显赫的政治地位。

“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

”他的妻子克莱门泰因说。

被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一个乡间居处---耘锄农场。

在那儿正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的“绘画女神拯救了我” 一天他正在花园里漫步正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。

他观看了她几分钟然后借过她的画笔试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神施展了她的魔法。

自那天以后温斯顿便爱上了绘画。

任何能让沉浸在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。

于是她赶紧去买来她所能找到的各种颜料和画具。

水彩颜料、油画颜料、纸张、帆布画布---很快耘锄农场里便堆满了一个绘画者可能想要或需要的各样东西。

画油画最终成了温斯顿的一大爱好---但是最初几步却出奇地艰难。

他凝视着他的第一块空白画布异乎寻常地紧张。

他日后回忆道“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。

就在这时我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音于是一份耕耘一份收获答案只是参考请大家努力自学惊恐地丢下我的画笔。

当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时更是惊慌失措。

来者正是住在附近的著名画家约翰莱佛利爵士的妻子。

“?在画画呢?她大声说道。

?多么有趣。

可你还在等什么呢把画笔给我---大的那支。

?她猛地用笔蘸起颜料还没等我缓过神来她已经挥笔泼墨在惊恐不已的画布上画下了有力的几道蓝色。

谁都看得出画布无法回击。

我不再迟疑。

我抓起那支最大的画笔迅猛异常地向我可怜的牺牲品扑了过去。

“人们往往认为他们天生具有一些超常非凡的东西，”他解释道。

“但研究结果表明，有的伟人并没有惊人的智力。

有的只是程度上的差异而已。

伟大是建立在大量的学习、实践和献身精神的基础之上的。

”他举出二战时期的英国首相温斯顿?丘吉尔作为一个永不放弃的冒险者的典范。

丘吉尔在全国上下士气最为低落的时候被推上台，并出色地领导了英国人民。

在1940年盟军敦刻尔克大撤退之后的一次演讲中，他的话激励了全国人民，“我们绝不会衰退、失败。

我们将坚持到底……我们永远不会屈服。

”2一些人不愿表达感激之情，因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。

我的一个病人在出院几个星期后回到医院感谢他的护士。

“我没有更早地回来，”他解释说，“是因为我猜想你们对于人们的感激一定厌烦得要命。

”“正好相反，”她回答说，“我很高兴你来。

很少有人意识到我们多么需要鼓励，我们从那些鼓励我们的人身上获得了多大的帮助。

”我们所给予的感激永远不会过多。

因为我们身边的人在构筑他们的人生哲学时所依据的正是这些微笑、我们所表示的感谢和我们表示欣赏的各种小小的示意动作。

4某个学生的成绩达不到老师的期望是常有的事。

当这种情况发生时，那个学生面对的不是失望、愤怒或恼怒。

相反，老师认为这是一次例外，一件偶然的事情，倒霉的一天，一次暂时的失误——而学生相信了她，并消除了疑虑。

下一次，他更加努力了，决心做到老师知道他能做到的事。

很难精确地确定老师传达的信息：“我期待着最好的成绩，”中到底是哪一部分告诉了孩子。

它的一部分包括显示信心的平和语调，言语上的耐心，及没有讽刺、贬低和恼怒等消极因素。

期待着最好成绩的老师满怀信心地提问，因为她知道她得到的答案将是正确的，而孩子也感受到了那种信心6情商不是智商的对立面。
