Welcome to the Club! and answer the questions that follow.I came here to teach English in my early 20s and eventually moved into business, running a small import-export operation. I majored in Mandarin Chinese back in the U.S. and continued my languag e studies here. I’m now fluent in Chinese and my reading is just about perfect, I’m married to a local woman and have three kids who were all born and raised here. Granted, I haven’t got Chinese citizenship, as that would have involved me renouncing my Ame rican citizenship. I wasn’t prepared to do that as it would have caused me too many headaches, not least of which would have been having to get a visa every time I wanted to go back to visit family. But I have permanent residency in China and consider this my home. Despite all this, most Chinese people will always see me as an outsider. When I speak Mandarin, some people sometimes stare at me like I’m from another planet as they just can’t get it into their heads that a foreigner can speak their language. Also, as an African-American and a fairly tall guy, I am constantly stereotyped. People will ask if I can play basketball and are incredulous when I say I’m not a big fan. Once when I had just come through customs, I was mobbed by a huge group of fans who were waiting to greet some NBA stars who were visiting. It took me ages to explain that they had the wrong guy. Most of the stereotypes people have here are pretty harmless and there is no malice intended, but it can be pretty annoying, especially when peop le act amazed on discovering you’re a businessman.43. Which of the following is true about the writer?a. He has Chinese citizenship.b. He enjoys basketball.c. He has spent many years in his adopted country.d. He has had no issues adapting in his adopted country.44. What do people find hard to believe about the writer?a. He is an NBA star.b. He is an American businessman.c. He has so many children.d. He speaks Mandarin fluently.45. Why did fans mistake the writer for someone famous?a. He is black.b. He is tall.c. He looks American.d. All of the above.46. The word malice is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. harmb. visac. residencyd. stereotype(B)Directions:Directions: Read the following excerpt from Smarty Pants: The Stars with Big Brains and answer the questions that follow.Conan O’BrienThere’s no doubt that the late-night talk show host has the gift of the gab. He’s known for poking fun at anyone and everyone in the entertainment industry including himself. Illustrative of his knack for irreverent, quirky humor is the fact that he was a writer and producer for The Simpsons for a couple of seasons before he made a name for himself. Some might feel that his brand of humor is far from intellectual. However, there is no disputing the 50-year-old’s academic credentials. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a degree in history in 1985.Natalie PortmanThe Israeli-born actress is the perfect example of how beauty and brains need not be mutually exclusive. In addition to starring in many critically acclaimed films, she is known for her political-activism, supporting causes like same-sex marriage in the U.S. and women’s rights in developing countries. Although she made her big screen debut in 1994 at the tender age of 12, she did not let it affect her education. Like O’Brien, Portman attended Harvard, where she got her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2003 while continuing her work as an actress. Furthermore, Portman is also a polyglot, with fluency in Hebrew, French and Japanese.47. What did Conan O’Brien do before he was famous?a. studyb. drawc. actd. sell48. According to the excerpt, what do Portman and O’Brien have in common?a. They are 50 years old.b. They graduated in the same year.c. They majored in the same subject.d. They studied at the same university.49. Where is Portman originally from?a. Franceb. Japanc. the Middle Eastd. the U.S.50. The word polyglot is closest in meaning, as it is used in the excerpt, to which of the following?a. bilingualb. multilingualc. Jewishd. deaf。

大学英语读写译（3）期末测试题及答案1大学英语读写译(3)期末测试题及答案1大学英语读写译（三）期末测试题（1）Part I Reading Comprehension （55%）Part I. Skimming and Scanning (10 Points)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on The Answer Sheet. For questions 1-7, markY ( for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG ( for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with information given in the passage.The Joy of SOHO: Making a Life While Makinga LivingA Better ChoiceThe next time you hear a friend or co-worker talking excitedly about SOHO, don’t assume that they are talking about N ew York. In today’sbusiness world, SOHO refers to “Small Office/ Home Office”, one of today’s biggest explosions in the economy. The home-based business has been born out of necessity. In an era when large corporations always think of downsizing, what are your other choices?Your choices are usually limited: to find a suitable place inthe small business world, to stand in line at Unemployment Center, or to accept a cut in pay and benefits. We are forced to give nine hours’ work for eight hours’ pay, and we are not backing away from that. Bosses don’t understand that you have many things to pay for. In this economic climate, where cost-cutting measures are the order of the day, setting up a home office on your own may just be the way to beat the odds.How to StartLet’s congratulate you on your decision to start your won business. But where do you start? Paper clips, writing pad, phone, and table? Almost, but not quite. One of the faultscommitted by many home-based business owners is that they fail to consider the possibilities of expansion.It is fine to start working from the kitchen table, but what happens when things start to take off and you still do not want to have an office space? Where do you place the home office? If you have the space, I highly suggest a room to itself. This permits you to close the door and separate your personal life from business. You are able to leave everything you are working on right where it is instead of removing it to have dinner or to go to bed. These clean-up steps can lead to problems down the road. Where you locate the home office is important for your future success. A corner in the living room, bedroom or attic (阁楼) is preferable if you do not have a room solely for your business. Reasons for the separation include fewer distractions and the ability to think more clearly and focus more easily.And you may have to have one or two clientscome to your “office” in the lifetime of your business. Even though it is for your home, you need to present the best professional environment possible, which is especially importantif you have people working with you. Their productivity is important to your business. Invest in the appropriate chairs, tables, lighting and ventilation（通风）before you invest in the paper clips and writing pads. If the working environment is not comfortable, neither you nor your employees will stay there and finish the job. It is fine to have employees in your home, but just make sure you supply them with the best working atmosphere possible.The Popularity of Being SOHOToday, researchers and marketers have identified a segment that is now labeled SOHO, which gives a strong impetus to America’s economic growth and has created most of the new jobs in the last 20 years.3%of companies provided 6 million of the 7.7million jobs that were added to the economy between 1991 and1995. Small businesses account for over 90% of all businesses in the U.S., with an economic output greater than that of Germany or France or the UK.Reportedly, home-based workers earn more money. The 46 million home-based workers in the United States, including a large number of women working at home in an attempt to better balance work and family, earn 28% more than the average office workers, and spend less time earning their pay. Of course this is due, in part, to the fact hat more and more experienced and aggressive workers tend to start their own businesses.Remember, going into business on your own, for form a home office may mean harder work. But it can also mean more independence, more challenge, and better results. In the long run, it may mean more money of you and your family. In a word, starting your own business means freedom, growth,expe rimenting and learning. If you are successful, you won’t have to go and askfor a rise or accep t what you’re given or worry about being fired when a younger colleague comes along. You will have the freedom to enjoy the profits that come form your growing business. Good luck and enjoy the journey. Questions:1.Many people have no choice but to set uphome-based businesses because large corporations are expanding.2.The term SOHO, which means “SmallOffice/Home Office”, originates in New York.3.Many home-based business owners failed totake into account the possible expansion of their businesses.4.It is highly recommended that we make aseparate room as the office so as to avoid distractions.5.It is very important to provide theemployees with the best working environment.6.America’s small businesses are veryproductive, but their economic output is smaller than that of Germany.7.The number of home-based workers in theUnited States has reached 46 million.8.Small businesses make up________________________of all business in the U.S.9.The SOHO workers earn more money thanthe average office workers partly because more and more experienced and aggressive workers tend to ___________________________.10.We can achieve________________________ and better results by starting yourwon business.Section B Careful Reading (30%)Directions: In this section, there are 3 passages.

Although hot weather just makes most people hot, it can cause medical problems and death.Health experts say that since the year 1900, extremely hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event. One year, the unusually hot summer of 1980-heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1995, more than 600 people died in a similar heat wave in one city—Chicago.To measure extreme heat, government weather experts have developed the MeanHeat Index. It measures the average of how hot it is felt all day on an extremely hot day. Experts say it is the total heat of a hot day or several hot days that can affect health. Several hot days are considered a heat wave. Experts say heat waves often become deadly when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.The most common medical problem caused by hot weather is heat stress. Usually, it also is the least severe. For most people, the only result of heat stress is muscle pain. The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot. Doctors say drinking water will help the pain disappear after the body again has the right amounts of water and salt. For some people, however, the resultis much more serious.For example, doctors say some people face a greatly increased danger from heat stress. These people have a weak or damaged heart, high blood pressure, or other problems of the blood system. Severe heat can help cause a heart attack or stroke. Health experts say this is the most common cause of death linked to hot weather.16. How many people died from heat in Chicago in 1995?A. About 1700.B. Nearly 1900.C. Around 1100.D. Over 600.17. What can people learn from the Mean Heat Index?A. The average temperature of an extremely hot day.B. The highest temperature of an extremely hot day.C.

A heat wave is a period of time during whichA. the weather is much better than usual.B. the nights are much longer than usual.C. the weather is much hotter than usual.D. the days are much longer than usual.19. Muscle pain in hot weather means that your body needsA. more exercise.B. more water.C. less oxygen.D. less sugar.20. For people who are in extremely poor health, heat can beA. deadly.B. painful.C. helpful.D. stressful.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed）. This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!21. A good title for this passage is ____.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest22. The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means ____.A. SickB. stand upC. asleepD. a little sleepy23.
