Questions 45 to 49 are based on the same passage or dialog.Choosing a travel companion is at least as uncertain as choosing a marriage partner. The chances of success are perhaps even less.No law of causality (因果关系) exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But it's not unlikely. The odds depend on the length and the rigorousness (严密) of the trip. Some friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束,终⽌).Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. I'll confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing one's goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone.Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel.45.Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because ________.A. one may lose a friendB. one may suffer financial lossesC. one may be trapped in the dangerous situationD. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriage partner46.When intimate friends travel together, ________.A. the trip will hasten their dissolutionB. the trip will make them closer to each otherC. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to their relationshipD. they will make more friends on trip47.It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talked about here is the person________.A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship withB. one can travel with merely for companyC. one can count on for a free travelD. one can learn much from48.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Choosing a travel companion won't lead to the loss of friends.B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.D. Like-minded people should travel together.49.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar ExperiencesB. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky MatterC. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?D. Should One Travel Alone or in Another's Company?Questions 50 to 54 are based on the same passage or dialog.During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (⾏程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华⽒) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly.50.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.51.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasn't tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldn't move.52.The old lady in the incident described ________.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head53.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected54.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 55 to 59 are based on the same passage or dialog.Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (⼈所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief andimpersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列⼊电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (⽆情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.55.According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people whoare ________.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime56.The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because ________.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC. people feel anonymous thereD. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals57.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the inner areas because they ________.A. dislike having to travel far to workB. have been forced by circumstances to do soC. don't like the idea of living in the suburbsD. have turned against society58.Architectural changes have affected city life by ________.A. scattering long-established communitiesB. giving the individual a say in planningC. forcing people to live on top of each otherD. making people move to the suburbs59.The author's general argument is that urban life would be improved by ________.A. moving people out of tower blocksB. restoring old buildingsC. building community centersD. preserving existing social systemsPart 7 Fill in the Blanks (with the right preposition or adverb)(Each item: 1)Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with an appropriate preposition or adverb. Fill in each blank with only ONE word.60.The case is being looked ; when we have anything to report we'll write to them.61.What information they do have is often inaccurate and loaded unrealexpectations.62.He was convicted carrying an offensive weapon and got a 28-day suspendedsentence and a heavy fine.63.He claims that his organization is a nonprofit one and he works for charity butthe table he's making money.64.This is certainly true, but this explanation can hardly account the economicdisaster the country is facing now.65."Cast this slave woman with her son," she commands Abraham, "for the son ofthis slave woman shall not be here with my son Isaac."66.He took off his shoes and stretched himself on the bed once he reached home,tired from a whole day's work.67.Sarah has to room with her identical twin Katie the time being until she finds aplace of her own.68.Employers therefore resorted the reduction of costs, most particularly inwages, in order to compete in world markets.69.Thoreau was referred as the American high priest of solitude.Part 1 Word Dictation(Each item: 1)1.receipt2.certify3.thrive4.pension5.solitary6.inspiration7.slippery8.dilemmaPart 2 Understanding Short Conversations(Each item: 2)9-11 CDDTranscript:9.M: We need to clean up the apartment before our caseworker arrives. If she sees this mess, she might reduce our welfare payments.W: Can she do that? I didn't know that! What right does she have to lower our payments?Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?10W: I got this new job working with homeless children in the city center. I'm really excited about it.M: I bet. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing you can get rich doing, but it's sure to be satisfying, you know, by helping people and all.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?11.M: What's with the truck parked outside of your home? What, are you moving away?W: Yeah. Turns out my company wants me to head up a new office in another city. My daughter is upset about being sent to a new school, but nothing can be done.Q: Why is the woman moving to another city?Part 3 Understanding Long Conversations(Each item: 2)12-15 BDBC 16-19 CCDBTranscript:Long conversation 1:W: Hi, Roy, are you waiting to see Professor Lee, too?M: Yeah, since I got one of the five highest grades in her managerial economics class, she asked me if I'm interested in working as her assistant next semester. I'm here now for my interview.W: Oh, yes, I know all about that job. I did it two years ago.M: Really, did you like it?W: I think it was the best job I've had at school. It paid eight dollars an hour, which was three dollars an hour more than I got working at the school post office the year before.M: That is a good salary. What did you do?W: I was in charge of grading all the problem sets that were assigned as homework. I never had trouble doing it, and of course, Prof. Lee was always available to help me if I had any questions.M: I think I'd enjoy doing that sort of work. It would be very good experience for anyone thinking about becoming a teacher. W: Absolutely. You also learn how to use the computer database, because the records are kept on it, and building up your computer skills is a good preparation for lots of jobs.M: The job sounds great, but I'm a little worried about how much time it might take.W: It's pretty reasonable. It never took me more than five hours a week to do all the grading and then another thirty to forty minutes to record the grades on the computer.M: That sounds manageable. I guess you can do the work when it fits into your own schedule, too, can't you?W: Oh, yeah, you can do the grading in your room or in the library. You just need to get each set back for the next class, but that means you always have at least two days and sometimes four.M: It sounds great.W: Good luck with your interview.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.

You don't know about my problems.M: Hey, now. You're a student in my class, aren't you? I see you almost every day, don't I? I've noticed you not acting like your usual, happy self.W: I've been miserable.M: I didn't know that. Maybe you can talk to me about your feelings.W: I haven't been able to talk to my mom or dad. What makes you think I can talk to you?M: We're talking right now, aren't we? And I'm listening. How about you step away from the edge so we can talk some more? Huh?W: All right.M: Hey, that's great. Now let's go get some coffee.。
姓名:___________________________ 班级:____________________________学号:___________________________ 日期:____________________________读写教程第一册,单元测试卷五试卷编号:Book1-Quiz5考试时间:120 分钟满分:100 分Part 1 Skimming and Scanning (True/False)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passage. Then decide whether the following statements are True or False.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.Time limitation: 4 minutes and 12 secondsWhat kind of car will we be driving in 2010? They would be rather different from the type we know today, with the next twenty years bringing greater change than the past fifty. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate (加速) the pace of automotive design. Today they are students on the transport design course at London's Royal college of Art.Their vision (相象中的画面) is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along "intelligent" roads equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travel in the city.Instead of today's seating arrangements-two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward-the 2010 car will have a versatile (有许多用途的) interior with adults and children in a family circle.This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated (复杂的) road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash (撞) into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.1. Those who will design the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems will quicken change in cars.TF2. The car designers are most likely to believe that we will always have an imperfect world.TF3. From the passage we know that inside the future car, seats are arranged in a circle.TF4. A future road will direct a car to its destination.TF5. We can infer from the passage that it will be impossible for cars in the future to crash into one another because computers control the driving and find the route.TFPart 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.There were very few places in the world that Jules Verne, the writer, did not visit. He went round the world a hundred times or more. Once he did it in eighty days, unheard of in the nineteenth century. He voyaged 6,000 miles under the sea, went around the moon, explored the center of the earth, and chatted with natives in Australia.Jules Verne, the man, was a stay-at-home person. He was more likely to be tired from writing than from traveling. He did make a few visits to Europe and North America. And he made one 6-week tour of New York State. But that was all. He spent less than one of his 77 years traveling. Yet he was the world's most outstanding tourist. His books are crowded with hunting and fishing trips. Jules actually went hunting only once. Then he raised his gun and shot off the game officer's hat!He wasn't a scientist himself, but he encouraged many people to become scientists. Long before radio was invented, he had TV working in his books. His name for it was different, though. He had flying machines 50 years before the Wright brothers flew their first plane at Kitty Hawk. In fact, there were few wonders of the 20th century that this man of the 19th century did not see coming. In his stories you can read about air conditioning, tall buildings, advanced weapons, tanks, boats that can travel under the water, and airplanes.6. What was Jules Verne?A. A scientist.B. An inventor.C. A writer.D. A great traveler.7. What was unknown in the 19th century?A. Going under the sea.B. Going around the world in 80 days.C. Going to the moon.D. Going to the center of the earth.8. How much traveling did Verne do in total?A. Six months.B. Seventy-seven years.C. One year.D. Six years.9. What made Verne's TV different from others?A. His showed books.B. His was made by scientists.C. His was called something else.D. His was also flying machine.10. What makes Verne's inventions so surprising?A. They were in stories.B. They were wonders.C. They were working.D. They were ahead of their time.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"The young man paused, looking up and replied, "Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.""Well then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?""The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.""But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will have the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.11.

Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. The wise man and the young man shared the same opinion on the subject of starfish.B. The young man disagreed with the wise man on the subject of starfish.C. The wise man thought it impossible to save any of the starfish on the beach.D.

A few months ago, his company sent him to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United States.Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open, and honest-though he still couldn't understand them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever, friendly, and good-looking.

She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Yukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Yukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him.

BPractice Makes PerfectThe saying that practice makes perfect means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it. He who practices a lot will master the skill more quickly than he who seldom or hardly practices.For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammar, words, expressions and so on. The most important thing may be how to put what we have learned into practice. If you only learn the grammar rules by heart and don't do enough exercises, it is certain that you can't understand them perfectly. But if you practice a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you can find some good methods of applying them. Memorizing English words whenever time permits, we can easily memorize them and can even find a way to memorize them more quickly. There is another example. A famous singer can sing very welt. Of course, his talent is very important, but practice is necessary. It is necessary to practice to make the singer sing better and better. It is evident that practice is important for everybody. If you want to improve your study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.Quiz 3试题此部分共有5个未完成的对话,针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项,请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
