She still eats eggs and cheese sometimes; now, however, most of her food is vegetables, fruits and grains(璋风被). Linda became a vegetarian to improve her health. Nancy is an animal lover.

The month before school started, he went to Europe and to my surprise came back with a powerful drug (姣掑搧) called hashish. Neither of us had ever experimented with drugs before. He began to invite me to join his 鈥渘ew鈥?friends. He also started the 鈥?4 club鈥? where you would sit on a circle and drink twenty-four tall bottles of beer, one after another, until they were gone. I knew there was no futurein any of it if he went on using these drugs. However, he has been my best friend since grade school, and I didn鈥檛have a lot of other close friends. I didn鈥檛want to be lonely, but I also didn鈥檛want to end up where I thought Jack was going. At first I felt awkward (灏村艾), didn鈥檛fit in. But after a few months, I made friends with guys who had similar values () and were also a lot of fun. My old friend Jack turned into a druggie, barely graduated , and at last drowned (婧烘按) in a swimming pool. It was very sad, but I was grateful I had the courage tomake the right decision and think long-term at a crucial time in my life. 41. Why did the writer feel surprised? A. Jack went to Europe. B.

Why did the writer decide to end up the friendship between Jack and him? A. He didn鈥檛want to make the same mistake as Jack. B. He wanted to make some new friends. C. He felt disappointed (澶辨湜) with Jack. D. He didn鈥檛want to be lonely. 45. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Both of them did not use the hashish before. B.

Its students must either work full time or be at home all day, for example, mothers of families. They don鈥檛be able to pass any examination before they are accepted as students. This is why theuniversity is called 鈥?open鈥? The university was started in order to help a known group people who missed having a university education when they were young. The first name for the Open University was 鈥?The University of the Air鈥? 55.The idea was to teach 鈥?On the air鈥? in other words on radio and television. But its student also receives advice at one of 283 centers in the county. 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a 鈥?tutor(), the person who guides his studies. He must also spend 3 weeks every summer as a full time student. Tutors and teachers meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University鈥檚first year, the results were good. 3 or 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in 4 or 5 years. A.51.

Some of these questions are pretty easy. Others, especially the last, are (mysteries) to which no one even today knows the answer. They are natural questions to ask. Every culture has (posed) such questions in one way or another. Almost always the (proposed) answers are in the nature of "Just So Stories," attempted explanations divorced from experiment, or even from careful (comparative) observations.Key1.This kind of animal has a pair of keen eyes that can penetrate the darkness.2.In his report he distorted the truth, and led us into making a wrong decision.3.How can I find that letter in a jumble of paper scraps like that?4.This theory holds a static view of the world and cannot see the development.5..Friction gradually caused the sliding box to slow down and stop.6.The lesson was not clear, and it has muddled me.7.I had no time to think; I made a random choice from the cards and, fortunately, this was alucky card.8.After taking the vaccine (疫苗), the child will be immune to this virus (病毒).9.Do you think the arms race is the greatest peril now facing the world?10.I cannot explain, but by intuition I think this is the right answer.11.He is a conservative, and he wants to have a conventional church wedding.12.Believe it, this comes from a(n) infallible source of information.Unit2sophisticated paternal crushing corrosive depict strand status mirror persecute inhospitable ally solar1.

During the first listening, fill in the blanks with the information you hear.The study of "unidentified flying objects" is now known as ufology. Belief in alien visits, in flying saucers, (contacts and abductions) has a vast public following, and discussion of UFOs is, perhaps, the public's first (introduction to) the subject of extraterrestrial life.The believers' position (rests on) a large collection of observations that they find (individually compelling and collectively persuasive) . They argue that some UFO sightings stubbornly (defy conventional explanations) . They recount the stories of individuals who believe that they saw evidence of (alien visitors) . Many of them believe that the US government has the evidence but is keeping the alien origin of UFOs a secret because (it fears panic) if the information became widely known.However, orthodox scientific opinion totally (rejects accounts of) visits to Earth by extraterrestrials. Few scientists are willing to (bestow credibility) on theories which purport to explain how extraterrestrials could visit us. (UFO skeptics argue) that explaining (anomalous sightings) in the same terms as the rest is (far more plausible) than inventing an advanced alien civilization to (account for them) . And they often (elaborate their case) by raising more specific plausibility issuesKey1. Britain and her allies won two world wars.2.

The old( )"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is clearly an appropriatemodel for conserving the rich diversity of the world.Warm-up ListeningListen to the following passage twice. During the first listening, fill in the blanks with the information you hear.Today animal populations have sadly (dwindled) all over the world. In the last three centuries more than 200 species of (mammals) , birds, and reptiles have become extinct. Eight hun dred more species are endangered. The (endangered species) include the gorilla, the (orangutan) , the giant tortoise, the trumpeter swan, (the whooping crane) , the big cats, and the whales. Since life began on this planet, countless creatures have come and gone - rendered extinct by natural changes. If extinction is part of the natural order, we can leave it as it is. Unfortunately, we cannot attribute the accelerating decline of our wild animals and plants to "natural" processes. Today's dangers to wildlife most often result from hunting, (habitat) degradation, environmental pollution, the introduction of (pesticides) , and expansion - all generally as a direct result of human activities. What man has done to the animals in the past hundred years will appall anyone who loves this world. It is very true that man's greatest "achievement" in the 20th century is not that he traveled to the moon but that he destroyed forever an (heritage) that nature offered us.In the course of (expansion) and exploitation, earlier settlers stalked and killed wild animals because these animals preyed on and competed with their livestock for (the grazing land) . The (predators) they killed include the wolf, (mountain lion) , fox, bobcat, and bear. They killed wild creatures also because they believed that predators should be killed on sight, whether they preyed on livestock or not.The mountain lion has especially suffered from trapping and hunting. There is no need to discuss why we should care about the (extinction) of these birds and animals. With the distinction of each species, we lose a small part of the (diversity of nature) and the world we live in becomes less colorful and interesting. Surely we do not want a world for ourselves and our children that is (devoi d of) birds and animals, do we?Key1. Extrapolating from his American findings, he reckons about 80% of these deaths might beattributed to smoking.2.

During the first listening, fill in the blanks with the information you hear.(Despite the criticism) surrounding astrology, it continues to (flourish) in modern society. Astrology has enjoyed a new popularity in the second half of the 20th century. Millions still (practice it worldwide) . In the US, newspapers and magazines carry daily and weekly (horoscopes) . Astrology has become a (fad) . Twenty years ago, if you (believed in) astrology, you would have been considered (ignorant of) knowledge. Today, it is (trendy) to ask "What's your sign?" The reason is simple. People read about events that cannot be explained by known scientific means and turn to astrology for explanations. Astrologers and astrology can not explain these (supernatural) eventsbetter. Indeed even astrologers say they do not understand (how astrology works) -only that it does. We notice that (astrological readings) and their interpretations (are relative to) the person performing the analysis. Two astrologists analyzing the same person independently may come up with vastly different (predictions) . And very often it is the common sense rather than astrology that (makes a difference) for the (slant) of their advice-positive or negative.Unit5admonish meager despair coup genuine instinct paradisiacal stab toll vague menace unmanageable1.

During the first listening, fill in the blanks with the information you hear.The (terrorist attacks) of September 11 showed us good and evil, heroism and villainy. There were people who stared death in the face and, (setting fear aside) , did what they thought needed doing. Firefighters and policemen strode into burning buildings to save lives. Passengers attacked armed hijackers with their bare hands. And the hijackers steadfastly flew stolen airliners into their targets (at the price of certain death) . Given this basic similarity, why were some acclaimed as martyrs and heroes while others were deplored as fanatics and villains? Is the only difference whether (the moral assessment) emanates from New York City or from Kandahar?Death is the ending we fight against all our lives. So it is appalling to think of countless lives lost and (horrifying) to see magnificent buildings utterly destroyed. It is heartstopping to imagine the will power and concentration that it takes to (accept the risk) or certainty of death and yet continue to act. So we are quick to think it heroic to take that risk.Large segments of our culture seem to think self-sacrifice is (the measure of moral worth) . The press has been full of reports, since the attacks on the Twin Towers, that America has shown its moral greatness. The New York Times, in a story about how attitudes toward New York have changed in the heartland, reports on this phenomenon: Debi Koss, a nurse, used to think of New York as a faceless, godless cinderblock. But she has (revised her views) . "I've seen a lot of selflessness," Ms. Koss said. The article also cites a factory worker who remarks that the post-disaster spirit of mutual aid (contrastsfavorably with) the normal run of business: "Before, they appeared to be selfish with their time."The concept that heroism is self-sacrifice (for a noble ideal) is clearly alive in the West today.key1.
