I. CAREFUL READINGRead the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SH EET. (40 points, 2 points each)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the you ng woman with the white cane made her way cautiously up th e steps. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, settled into one. She pla ced her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against h er leg.It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. As the result of a medical accident she was sightless, suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, a nger, frustration and self-pity. All she could cling to was her husband Mark.Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and he became determined to use every m eans to help his wife.Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how wo uld she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mar k volunteered to ride the bus with Susan each morning andevening until she got the hang of (摸清情况) it. And that was exactly what happened.For two weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied S usan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. H e helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a taxi back to his office. Although the routine of going back and forth was costly, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own.Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she em braced her husband tightly. Her eyes filled with tears of g ratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She s aid good-bye and, for the first time, they went their separate ways. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, and a wild gaiety (快乐) took hold of Susan. She was doing it! She was going t o work all by herself!.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.When Susan got on the bus, the passengers ______.A admired herB stared curiously at herC ignored herD felt sorry for her该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.Which of the following is true of Mark?A He kept confidence in Susan.B He felt confused with Susan.C He depended more on Susan.D He was tired of Susan.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL3.At the beginning of her sightless life, Susan was seized by anger, self-pity and ______.A irritationB hesitationC hopelessnessD indifference该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.Which of the following is true?A Mark realized it would take a long time for Susan to recover her sight.B Mark knew that Susan would get to work by herself sooner or later.C Mark hated to leave poor Susan alone even for one minute.D Mark loved the routine of accompanying Susan to work.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL5.The passage can be used as an example of ______.A honestyB sympathyC diligenceD determination该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Most people claim that we should judge others on the basisof how they act, not how they look. However, the reality is quite opposite. Appearance is especially important in th e early stages of a relationship.The influence of physical attractiveness begins early in life . Infants as young as six months prefer images of attractiv e faces to less appealing ones. From age five on, overweigh t boys are viewed by peers as less attractive; tall, thin ones are judged as uncommunicative and nervous; and muscular and athletic youngsters are seen as outgoing, active, and popular. The same principle continues into adult life. Handso me men and beautiful women are seen as more sensitive, kind , interesting, strong, calm, modest, sociable, outgoing, and exciting than their less attractive counterparts. Adults are more likely to interact with strangers who they view as att ractive. Senior citizens also rate good-looking people as more desirable than those who are less at tractive.Although we might assume that attractive people are radically different from those who are less attractive, the truth is that we view the familiar as beautiful. Langlois and Roggm an presented students with two types of photos: some were i mages of people from North European, Asian, and Latino backg rounds, while others **puter-generated images **bined the characteristics of several indivi duals. Surprisingly, the students consistently preferred **posi te photos of both men and women. When the features of eigh t or more individuals **bined into one image, the students rated the picture as more attractive than the features of a single person or of a **bination of people. Thus, we seem to be drawn to people who represent the most attractive q ualities of ourselves and those people aren't different from the rest of us.Even if your appearance isn't beautiful by social standards, consider these encouraging facts: first, ordinary-looking people with pleasing personalities are likely to be judged as being attractive; second, physical factors become l ess important as a relationship progress. As Hamachek puts it, “Attractive features may open doors, but apparently, it takes more than physical beauty to keep them open.”SSS_SINGLE_SEL6.“The same principle”(Para. 2) refers to the principle tha t ______.A children are more attractive than adultsB attractive people are perceived as desirableC the early stages of a relationship are importantD the influence of appearance begins early in life该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL7.The third paragraph emphasizes in part the importance of ___ ___.A familiarityB differenceC individualityD consistency该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL8.According to the passage, the **posite features people have, ______.A the more unique they areB the less ordinary they areC the more attractive they areD the less beautiful they are该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL9.In his statement, Hamachek is giving emphasis to ______.A social standardsB composite featuresC good characterD physical attraction该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL10.The best title for the passage is ______.A Beauty and AgeB Appearance and RelationshipC Standards of Social BehaviorD Features of Physical Attractiveness该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The public schools of the United States—elementary, secondary, and higher—have a history, and it is the social history of the United States: the decades before the Civil War, in which the el ementary or “common schools”were reformed; the decades sur rounding the turn of the twentieth century, in which the se condary schools “welcomed”the “children of the plain peop le”;and the post-World War II decades, which found the public colleges and u niversities flooded non-traditional students—those traditionally excluded from higher education by sex, ra ce, and class.In each of these periods, the quantitative expansion of the student population was matched by a qualitative transformati on of the enlarged institutions. **mon schools of the mid-1800s were charged with reforming the moral character of the children of failed artisans (工匠) and farmers; the expanded high schools at the turn of the century with preparing their poor, working-class, and immigrant teenagers for future lives in city and factory; the “open-access”publicinstitutions in the postwar period with moving their students off the unemployment lines and into lower-level white-collar positions.**mon schools, the high schools, the colleges and universities—all in their own times—were expanded and transformed so that they might better main tain social order and increase material productivity. But no matter how enlarged or reformed, they could not do the jo bs expected of them: they could not solve the economic, soc ial, and human problems brought about by uncontrolled urbaniz ation and industrialization within the context of the private property system. The schooling reforms succeeded only in sh ifting the discussion and action from the social and product ive system to the people who were now held responsible for not fitting into it.SSS_SINGLE_SEL11.American education in the post-World War II decades focused mostly on ______.A early childhood educationB elementary school educationC secondary school educationD college education该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL12.The turn-of-the-century American education dealt partly with the problem of ______.A failed farmersB unsuccessful artisansC immigrant teenagersD lower-level white-collar workers该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL13.It is implied in the passage that women began to be educat ed in large numbers ______.A after the Civil WarB at the turn of the 20th centuryC before World War IID after World War II该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL14.One of the purposes for public school reformation is ______.A to increase material productivityB to impose the quality of educationC to urbanize rural areas in the United StatesD D. to promote industrialization in the United States该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL15.The author believes that public schools ______.A changed American political systemB could not solve American problemsC led to social problems in the United StatesD could not improve qualitatively in the United States该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Historical periods are dominated by distinct sets of ideas w hich form the general spirit of a period in history. Greek philosophy, Christianity, Renaissance thought, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment are examples of sets of ideas that dominated their historical periods. The changes fr om one period to the next are usually rather gradual.; othe r changes—more abrupt—are often referred to as revolutions. The most far-reaching of all these intellectual changes was the Darwinian revolution. The worldview formed by any thinking person in the Western world after 1859, when On the Origin of Speci es was published, was by necessity quite different from a w orldview formed before 1859. It is almost impossible for a modern person to project back to the early half of the nin eteenth century and reconstruct the thinking of this pre-Darwinian period, for the impact of Darwinism on our views has been so great.The intellectual revolution brought about by Darwin went far beyond the realm of biology, causing the overthrow of some of the most basic beliefs of his age. For example, Darwin rejected the belief in the individual creation of each spe cies, establishing in its place the concept that all of lif e descended from a common ancestor. By extension, he introdu ced the idea that humans were not the special products of creation but evolved according to principles that operate eve rywhere else in the living world. Darwin upset current notio ns of a perfectly designed natural and gentle world and sub stituted in their place the concept of a struggle for survi val. Victorian notions of progress and perfectibility were se riously weakened by Darwin's demonstration that evolution brin gs about change and adaptation, but it does not necessarily lead to progress, and it never leads to perfection.Darwin would be remembered as an outstanding scientist even if he had never written a word about evolution. Indeed, som e people believe that Darwin’s most original contribution to biology was not the theory of evolution but his series of books on experimental botany published near the end of his life. This achievement is little known among non-biologists, and the same is true for his equally outstanding work on the adaptation of flowers and on animal psychology , as well as his imaginative work on earthworms. Darwin als o attacked important problems with extraordinary originality, thereby becoming the founder of several now well-recognized separate disciplines. Darwin was the first person to work out a sound theory of classification, which is stil l used by most experts today.SSS_SINGLE_SEL16.The author considers the change caused by Darwin’s On the Origin of Species ______.A gradualB abruptC religiousD philosophical该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SELThe influence of Darwinism has been so strong that it is d ifficult to ______.A know how people looked at the world before 1859B imagine people’s worldview after 1859C disregard the implications of his theoryD know what Victorian society was like该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL18.Darwin believed that all species in the world ______.A were created individuallyB sprang from the same originC became increasingly betterD shared the same pace of progress该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL19.It can be concluded from the passage that Darwin was ______ .A a modest scholarB a born thinkerC an original scientistD a practical theorist该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL20.The author intends to say in the last paragraph that ______ .A Darwin did outstanding work apart from his theory of evolutionB non-biologists know very little about Darwin's theory of evolutionC scholars failed to recognize Darwin’s contributions for along timeD Darwin's most outstanding contribution is his theory of classification该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DII. SPEED READINGSkim or scan the following passages, and then decide on t he best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 1 point each)Passage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Potatoes are a tuber-producing crop originally grown in the Americas. Over 200 va rieties of wild potatoes grow from what is now Colorado to what are now Chile and Argentina. The native peoples of t he Andean region of South America were the first to domesti cate potatoes and to cultivate them as a food crop. The ea rliest potato, found in an archaeological site in central Pe ru, has been dated back to about 8000 B.C.. Scientists beli eve that American Indians began domesticating potatoes at the end of the Ice Age. Four thousand years later, native peo ples livingin the Andean highlands had begun to rely on potatoes as a major part of their diet. By about 2000 B.C.. Indians in the coastal region of what is now Peru were also cultivat ing this crop extensively.During the reign of the Inca, who established their empire in what is now Peru in about A.D. 1000, American Indian fa rmers were growing not only white potatoes but red, yellow, black, blue, green, and brown ones as well. They were del iberately developing potatoes of varying sizes and shapes tha t would do well under a number of growing conditions. Becau se potatoes were easily grown, flourish in a number of clim ates, and high in vitamin C, they were an efficient way of meeting dietary needs.In 1531, when Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro landed in what is now Peru, the native Andean peoples had developed a bout 3,000 types of potatoes and had also invented a method to freeze-dry them for storage. The Inca, who called potatoes papas, ate boiled potatoes as a vegetable and also made a kind of unleavened potato bread made from flour that had been grou nd from freeze-dried potatoes. They also added this potato flour to soups and stews and made porridge from it.Pedro de Cieza, who traveled with Francisco Pizarro's expedit ion, compared potatoes to chestnuts. Because the tubers grew underground and were small, the Spaniards believed potatoes were truffles (块菌) and began calling them tartuffo. When English explorer S ir Francis Drake crossed the Strait of Magellan, he ate pot atoes on the coast of what is now Chile that same year. Y et, historians are uncertain exactly whether the Spaniards or the English brought potatoes to Europe.SSS_SINGLE_SEL21.The earliest potato was found in ______.A PeruB ChileC ArgentinaD Colorado该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL22.Potatoes became the major source of food for American Indian s about ______.A 8000 B.C.B 4000 B.C.C 2000 B.C.D A.D.1000该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL23.American Indians developed potatoes of different sizes and sh apes to ______.A meet different dietary needsB get potatoes of different colorsC suit various growing conditionsD store them in convenient places该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL24.American Indians freeze-dried potatoes so that they could be ______.A stewedB groundC storedD boiled该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL25.Which of the following is true?A Historians believe that the English brought potatoes to Europe.B Sir Francis Drake ate potatoes in what is now Peru.C Francisco **pared potatoes to chestnuts.D The Spaniards thought that potatoes were truffles.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DPassage 6Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The blogging craze of a couple of years ago, when it was estimated that ten new blogs were started somewhere in the world every minute, now seems to have died down a bit. Y et thousands of blogs—probably the better ones—remain. Blogs are now no longer seen as the exclusive posse ssion of geeks, and are now seen as important and influenti al sources of news and opinions. So many people read blogs now that it has even been suggested that some blogs may have been powerful enough to influence the result of the re cent U.S. election.Blogs are very easy to set up. All you need is a computer , an internet connection and the desire to write something.A blog differs from a traditional internet site in two ways. First, a blog is one page consisting mostly of texts, though a few pictures are sometimes provided. Second, andmore importantly, a blog is a space for people to respond to what you write. The best blogs are similar to online di scussions, where people write in response to what the blogge r has written. Blogs are regularly updated—busy blogs are updated every day, or even every few hours.Not all blogs are about politics, however. There are blogs about music, films, sports, books—any subject you can imagine has its enthusiasts typing away and giving their opinions to fellow enthusiasts or anyone else who cares to read their opinions.But how influential, or important, is the blogosphere really? One problem with blogs is that many people who read and write them seem only to communicate with each other. When p eople talk about the influence of the blogosphere, they do not take into account the millions of people around the wor ld who are not bloggers, never read blogs, and don't even have access to a computer, let alone a good internet connec tion.Sometimes, it seems that the blogosphere exists only to infl uence itself, or that its influence is limited to what is actually quite a **munity. Blogs seem to promise a virtual democracy—in which anyone can say anything they like, and have their opinions heard—but who is actually listening to these opinions? Little hard evidence shows that blogs have influenced people in the wa y that traditional mass media such as television and newspap ers are able to do.SSS_SINGLE_SEL26.Now the blogging craze ______.A is emergingB has become less intenseC keeps risingD remains the same as before该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL27.Blogs differ from traditional internet sites in that ______.A texts are mostly shortB they present picturesC they are daily updatedD readers can **ments该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL28.One problem with blogs is that bloggers fail to consider __ ____.A non-bloggersB virtual democracyC U.S. politiciansD internet connection该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL29.In the author's opinion, the influence of the blogosphere is ______.A importantB powerfulC positiveD limited该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL30.According to the author, it is not difficult to ______.A set up blogsB make blogs involve everyoneC show the importance of blogosphereD make blogs surpass traditional mass media该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DIII.

上册Lesson OneThe Time MessageElwood N。

ChapmanLearning Guide新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪,最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人.本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。

1Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look ahead， you think you have more time than you need。

For example, at the beginning of a semester， you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands。

But toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out。

You don't have enough time to cover all your duties, so you get worried。

What is the answer？ Control！2Time is dangerous. If you don’t control it， it will control you。

If you don’t make it work for you，it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student， time management will be your number one problem。

3Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit。

Private Car in AmericaThe private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families, the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected(影响)in different ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans, the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to American, even though they cause a lot of environmental problems to people.1. People in the United States start to have their private automobile recently.A .True B.

2014 Text 4（英语⼀）“The Heart of the Matter,” the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences(AAAS), deserves praise for affirming theimportance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.美国艺术和科学研究院刚发布的“问题核⼼”报告，肯定了⼼⼼和社会科学对美国的繁荣和保障⼼由⼼主的重要性，这⼼点是值得赞扬的。

Regrettably, however, the report's failure to address the true nature ofthe crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.但令⼼遗憾的是，报告没能说明⼼由教育所⼼临的危机的实质。

这就可能弊⼼于利。

In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters tothe AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by “federal, state and local governments , universities, foundations,educators, individual benefactors and others” to “maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”2010年，⼼主党和共和党国会主要领导⼼致信美国艺术和科学研究院，要求其确定为保持国家在⼼⼼和社会科学学术和教育的卓越成就，联邦、州、地⼼政府、⼼学、基础学校、教育者、个⼼捐助者和其它⼼些机构或个⼼可以采取的⼼动。
