Reading comprehensionPassage AThere are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems too abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV, the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The structure of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forwa rd, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, then baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses.1.The passage is mainly concerned with .［A］the different tastes of people for sports ［B］the different characteristicsof sports［C］the attraction of football ［D］the attraction of baseball2.Those who don’t like baseball may complain that.［A］it is only to the taste of the old ［B］it involves fewer players than football does［C］it is not exciting enough ［D］it is pretentious and looks funny3.The author admits that.［A］baseball is too peaceful for the young ［B］baseball may seem boring when watched on TV［C］football is more attracting than baseball ［D］baseball is more interesting than football4.By “I could have had my eyes closed.” the author means (4th paragraph last sentence).［A］The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game［B］Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no different to the result［C］The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well［D］The consequent was too bad he could not bear to see it5.We can safely conclude that the author.［A］likes football ［B］hates football ［C］hates baseball ［D］likes baseballIII. TranslationDirections: Translate the following passage into Chinese.There is a general discussion over fashion in recent years. One of the questions under debate is whether a person should choose comfortable clothes, which he or she likes, regardless of fashion. This issue is becoming a matter of concern for more and more people, especially for parents and experts in education. Many young people always go into raptures at the merely mention of buying fashion clothes. And they seem to be attracted by colorful material, various styles of fashion clothes. There is nothing, they maintain, that can't be compared with fashion clothes. In fact, fashion clothes had become indispensable part of youngster's life. Many people seem to overlook the basic fact: the major function of clothing is to keep us warm and comfortable. Furthermore, people who addict to fashion clothes have to spend clothes more time going shopping and pay more attention to the impression they make on others. As a result, it is impossible to devote enough time and energy in their study and job.IV.

（完整版）⾼英2的问题的答案Lesson11.What, according to the writer,makes good conversation?what spoils it?A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argumentis not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, whenthey argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. Why does the writer like “bar conversation” so much?The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is usedto this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimateenough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3.Does a good conversation need a focal subject?No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation,the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. Why did people in the pub talk about Australia?Why did the conversation turn to Norman England?The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentallythat it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talkedabout the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "Englishas it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrierexisted between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. How does the use of words show class distinction?The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. When was “the King’s English” regarded as a form of racial discrimination in England?The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in Englandabout 1154—1399．7.What is the attitude of the writer towards “the King’s English”?The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality．1t is worth trying to speak“the King’s English”，but it should not be 1aid down as an edict，and made immune to change from below．The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum．8.What does the writer mean when he says, “the King’s English,like the Anglo-French of the Normans,is aclass representation of reality?During the Norman period，the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language．Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it．The King’s English today refers to the languageused by the upper，educated class in England．Lesson21 Like other good writers,Orwll is good at showing rather than telling what details or examples does the writer use to showhow poor the natives in Marrakech were.Beyond choice of words and imagery ,Orwell successfully depicts the poverty of the inhabitants of Marrakech by describing objectively the various aspects of their life. His vivid objective descriptions give the reader a clear picture of the poverty of the people.Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying firewood.2. What’s the main idea of paragraphs 1-2？How were people buried in Marrakech? What does this show?In these two paragraphs, Orwell tells us how people are buried in Marrakech—the crowd of mourners wailing a chant, corpses wrapped in a piece of rag, carried on a rough wooden bier, friends hacking a shallow hole, throwing the body in it, flinging some dried—up earth over it, no grave stone. All these show a vivid picture of the poverty of the place.3. What was the Jewish quarter like in Marrakech? How were the Jew treated in this country?Under the rulers of the Moorish empire, Jews in Marrakech were only allowed to own land in certain areas. As a result, the streets are very narrow, houses overcrowded and completely without windows. The people have been made to live in such crowded places for so 1ong that they have become used to this kind of overcrowding; since they can expect nothing better, they no longer bother about it. The Jews was an oppressed minority in this colonial country. Their fate was even worse than that of the natives.4. What does the writer describe in Paragraph 10?Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.5. What did the Arabs and poorer Europeans think of the Jews? How does the writer respond to the remarks about the Jews?The Arabs think the Jews only pretend to work as a poor laborer. They are in reality very rich for they control everything. The writer knew the Jews were now being condemned by prejudice and ignorance as some poor old women who cou1d not even get themselves a decent meal were condemned and burned for witchcraft.6. What kind of people ,according to Orwell,are partly invisible?Why dose he stress this point?Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this th at the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.Lesson 31. Why dose Kennedy say that the world is very difficult now?What differences does he have in mind?Kennedy thinks the world is different now because man has made great progress in science and technology and has not only the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc. ) to abolish poverty, but also thepower(missiles，H_bombs，etc．)to destroy all forms of human life．I agree with him．2. What belief is still at issue around the globe according to him?According to Kennedy，the belief still at issue around the globe is the belief that all man are created equal and God has given them certain inalienable rights which no state or ruler can take away from them．3. Name some of the old allies of the United States whose cultural and spiritual origins the United States share. These old allies are :Britain，Canada，Australia，New Zealand．and in a wider sense one may also include France．4. Whom does Kennedy consider as friends and whom as foes.Kennedy considers as friends：a)the old allies of the U．S．， such as Britain，Canada，Australia，New Zealand and the western European countries； b) the countries in South America and；c)many of the developing countries in Asia and Africa that rely on U．S．aid．He considers all socialist countries as foes(all that time the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union)and those developing countries preparing to take the socialist road．5. Who are those peoples in huts and villages? Why does Kennedy want to help them?The poor people in backward developing countries in Africa and Asia. Because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.6. What is his stated policy towards Latin America?The stated policy of Kennedy towards Latin America is summed up in the phrase “alliance for progress”．Kennedy pledged to take concrete steps to assist these governments and people in casting off the chains of poverty．7. Sum up the policy Kennedy says he intends to pursue towards those nations whom he considers to be “our adversary”. Kennedy’s policy towards “his adversary” is n egotiation from a position of strength．The U．S．must first be strong enough to deter her adversary． From this strong position of absolute military superiority Kennedy proposes negotiating with the socialist camp(or the Soviet Union)on the following problems：a) arms control，b) cooperation in the fields ofscience，technology，arts and commerce，c)a new world system．8.

The freshman is made the narrator of the story who goes on smugly boasting and singing praises of himself at every chance he could get. From the very beginning in paragraph 4, he begins to heap on himself all the beautiful words of praise he can think of such as “cool, powerful, precise and penetrating”,etc.At the same time the narrator takes every opportunity to downgrade Petey Bureh. For example, he calls him "dumb", "nothing upstairs ", "'unstable ", "impressionable" and "'a faddist ".And as for Polly Espy, she is "a beautiful dumb girl", who would smarten up under his guidance. It proves to be a big irony for the narrator when the dumb girl goes back to her former dumb boyfriend Petey Burch,just because the latter has a raccoon coat.2.Why does the narrator consider Petey Burch dumb as an ox?The narrator considers Petey Burch dumb as an ox because he thinks Petey to be unintelligent, an emotional and impressionable type of person. However, Petey’ s worst fault is that he is a faddi st, he is swept up in every new craze that comes along.3.What kind of girl is Polly? Why does the narrator teach Polly Espy logic?Polly is beautiful and gracious. He decided to teach Polly Espy logic because he wanted not only a beautiful wife but also an intelligent one. The narrator wanted a wife who would help to further his career as a lawyer. He found Polly had all the necessary qualities except intelligence. This he decided to remedy by teaching her logic.4.What does Dicto Simpliciter mean? How does the narrator explain it to Polly?The fallacy of "Dicto Simpliciter" is committed by an argument that applies a general rule to a particular case in which some special circumstances ("accident") makes the rule inapplicable. The narrator shows it with the example: Exercise is good. Therefore everybody should exercise." In fact, “Exercise is good” is an unqualified generalization. For instance, if you have heart disease, exercise is bad, not good. Many people are ordered by their doctors not to exercise. You must qualify the generalization. You must say exercise is usually good, or exercise is good for most people.5.What does Post Hoc mean? What example does the narrator give? What is Polly’s first reaction to this argument? The fallacy of Post Hoc mislocates the cause of one phenomenon in another that is only seemingly related. The most common version of this fallacy mistakes temporal sequence for causal connection. The narrator gives an example: Let’s take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains." She remembers a girl back home--Eula Becker. Every single time we take her on a picnic it rains.6.What does Contradictory Premises mean? What example does the narrator give? Is Polly confused? Contradictory Premises means the premises of an argument contradict each other.The narrator gives an example of Contradictory Premises: If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won't be able to lift it?" Yes, Polly is confused.7.What does Ad Misericordiam mean? What example is given to explain this fallacy? How does Polly respond tothe example? What does it show about her?The fallacy of Ad Misericordiam is committed when the conclusion changes the point that is at issue in the premises, such as, when a trial lawyer, rather than arguing for his client's innocence, tries to move the jury to sympathy for him. The narrator gives the example of a man applying for a job. When the boss asks him what his qualifications are, he replies that he has a wife and six children at home, the wife is a helpless cripple, the children have nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, no shoes on their feet, there are no beds in the house, no coal in the cellar, and winter is coming." Polly is moved to tears by the poverty and misery of the worker. She is a simple, nice girl with the right feminine emotions.8.What is False Analogy? What is Poisoning the Well?False Analogy is committed when the two items don't have strong enough similarities to predict that what happens in one will happen in the other.Poisoning the Well means people speak against the man rather than to the issue. The premises may only make a personal attack on a person who holds some thesis, instead of offering grounds showing why what he says is false9.Why does the narrator say, “I was not Pygmalion; I was Frankenstein”? (Para.135)Because he begged Polly's love and was refused. He might get the same result as Frankenstein, who created a monster that destroyed him, not as Pygmalion, who was loved by his own statue of Galatea.Lesson 51.Why were the younger generation of the1920s thought to be wild?The younger generation of the 1920s were thought to be wild because they visited speakeasies, denouced Puritan morality, experimented in armour in the parked sedan on a country road,etc. (See para. 1).2.Was there a revolt of the younger generation at that time?

They attacked the war, Babbittry, and "Puritanical" gentility.6.What new philosophy were the young intellectuals trying to preach?These young intellectuals wanted America to become more sensitive to art and culture, less avid for material gain, and less susceptible to standardization.7 Why did many young intellectuals of this period immigrate to Europe?They emigrated to Europe because there "they do things better" than in the United States where people only care for money and wealth.
