Two men ina rowboat came to his house and offered to take him to safety. “No, thank you,” said the man, “God will help me.”As the waters rose, the man retreated to the second storey of his house. Now, two men in a motorboat came by and offered to rescue him. Again, the man declined, saying, “No, thank you. God will help me.”As the waters rose still higher, the man retreated again to the rooftopof his house. A helicopter came by, and someone inside it threw down a rope, urging the man to grab it and he pulled up into the helicopter. Once more, the man declined and said, “No, thank you.

You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high—34.8%，and the fun loving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts t ake place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of another—just another example of thebusinesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They donin for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You willfind more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else.That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and politicaland events are changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on—happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage o f time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.41. Based on this passage, the percentage of TV broadcasting hoursdevoted to education is greatest in _______.A. JapanB. ItalyC. CanadaD. the United States42. More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TV thananywhere else because the Italians _______.A. are interested in what is happening in the worldB. like to undergo social and political changesC. prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapersD. expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on intheir country43. So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment are concerned, _______.A. the Japanese figure is the highest in the worldB. the U. S. figure is smaller than the U.K. figureC. the U.K. figure is second to the Japanese figureD. the Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country44. From this passage, w e learn that most TV stations in the worlddevoted more broadcasting hours to _______.A. educational programsB. entertainment programsC. news information programsD. dramas, serials, music, sports and so on45. In the United States, _______.A. TV programs are shown for world audience to watchB. most of TV broadcasting hours are given to entertainmentC. educational programs are shown during peak viewing timesD. TV broadcasting hours devoted to education are more than thosedevoted to entertainmentPassage FourCopernicus was born in Torun, Poland, on February 19, 1473. Little is known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10. An uncle adopted him, his two sisters, and his brother. The uncle saw to itthat the two boys received a good education. Copernicus went to the University of Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, and astronomy. It was probably at that time that he changed his Polish name, Niklas Koppernigk, to the Latin form of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1496 Copernicus went to Italy, where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities.In Copernicus time people still believed that all things—the sun, the stars, and the planets—moved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was also linked to religious beliefs.In 1506 Copernicus returned to his homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, made observations with only his eyes. Still, using mathematics and logic, Copernicus worked out a different theory, which held that the planets went around the sun.Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on theday he died, May 24, 1543.31. Which of the following is TRUE about Copernicus？A. He had two brothers and a sister.B. He used to be called Niklas Koppernigk.C. He lost his father soon after he was born.D. He spent 10 years at the University of Cracow.32. From the passage we can see that Astronomy is ______.A. the life experience of great menB. the movement of the stars and the planetsC. the scientific study of natural objects in spaceD. the theories developed by scientists of old times33. Copernicus developed his theory ______.A. using various telescopesB. based on Aristotle’s beliefsC. through observations and reasoningD. under the encouragement of his friends34. The writer of the passage wants us to know that ______.A. Copernicus did not tell about his discovery until the day of his deathB. for many years Copernicus dared to do nothing openly against the ChurchC. pushed by his friends Copernicus decided to write a book in May1543D. shortly before he got back to Poland Copernicus started to work for the Church35. Copernicus had his great book published because ______.A. he didn’t agree with AristotleB. he could not hide the scientific truthC. he worked for the churchD. his friends advised him to do soPart IV ClozeDirections:In this part, you are required to read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer from the 4 choicesmarked A), B), C) and D) .

That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names.I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each ofthese names means. If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰). Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses peopl e: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom ofGreat Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?16. English was first spoken in .A. BritainB. EnglandC. Great BritainD. Ireland17. Britain is divided into .A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland18. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the threeB. Scotland is the largest of the threeC. Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles19. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irelandis .A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage20. Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of IrelandEvery year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’tlike crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station,we split up. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.21. In January .A. lots of people go shopping for discountB. people have a lot of money to spend after ChristmasC. all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holidayD. peo ple don’t have enough money to go looking for bargains22.

After their day’s shopping, they .A. were happy with their bargainsB. had got everything they wantedC. got more than they had hoped forD. had to go back to the sales the next dayAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of thingswhich she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,”he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”26. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper27. Mrs. Edwards ________.A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily28.

Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping30. Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essenti als. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”31. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A.the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198332. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.A. several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health33. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance34. The word “Omitting” in the last passage means _______.A. To fail to include or mention.B. To fail to hit, reach, catch, meetC. To pay little or no attention toD. To skip35. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.

The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883, she wa s abandoned by her father after her mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nickname Coco, which means "little pet".Starting out as a hat designer, Coco went against the fancy hats being worn at the time. "How can a brain function under those things," she wondered. Instead, she created simple, but beautiful designs which became popular with fashionable y oung women of Paris.Strangely enough, World War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simple elegance from hats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war, she took the opportunity to show that less can truly be more, introducing turtle-neck（叠领） sweater and pants for women.In 1923, Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who does not wear perfume has no future!" she said, and women believed her. Since its first appearanc e, Chanel No. 5 has been the world's most popular perfume, with another bottle be ing sold every 30 seconds. And Coco herself inspired generations of women designer s and businesswomen to pursue their dreams.(1)(2分)The world famous brand "Chanel" is named after ___ .• A.a little animal• B.a hat company• C.the nickname of a French woman• D.the surname of a French girl知识点：3c 第三阶段C卷收起解析D(2)(2分)Coco had her hats ___ those of her time at the beginning of her designing.• A.fancier than• B.different from• C.similar to• D.more expensive than得分：0知识点：3c 第三阶段C卷收起解析B(3)(2分)According to the passage, Chanel's designs can be best described as ___ .• A.fashionable• B.luxurious• C.simple and elegant• D.A and C得分：0知识点：3c 第三阶段C卷D(4)(2分)The launch of Chanel perfumes is based on the belief that ____ .• A.a woman who does not wear perfume has no future• B.it will be the world's most popular perfume• C.it will be sold every 30 seconds• D.women are fond of all kinds of perfumes得分：0知识点：3c 第三阶段C卷收起解析A(5)(2分)Coco Chanel's success story tells us that ___ .• A.becoming rich is not so difficult• B.women are more likely to succeed• C.people can pursue their dreams• D.the poor are more likely to succeed得分：0知识点：3c 第三阶段C卷收起解析C四、作文1.(0分)Instructions:根据下面所给的题目和提纲用英语写出一篇不少于100词的短文。

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner roles are distinguishable, how can teaching aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.1.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. too much time is spent in teaching about readingC. students spend endless hours in readingD. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance2.The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readi ngB. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable3.The word "examination" at the end of Paragraph 3 most probably means "________".A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion4.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are identicalC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience5.The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time. People think that the stude nts of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius.People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their students.Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as "Amnesty International" (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting.After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be considered a true "inner-city school". While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the school's location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area.6.What do people often think negatively about?A. Inner-city schools.B. Stereotypes.C. St. Ignatius.D. Violence.7.What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius?A. Amnesty International.B. A serious fight.C. A Spanish club.D. Inferior students.8.What would Mrs. Borroni do after school?A. Give Spanish classes.B. Tell students about activities.C. Guide students in special groups.D. Help students love learning.9.Why might a reader of this article not view St. Ignatius as a real inner-city school?A. It is not in the middle of the city.B. It is in a poor suburban area.C. It enriched the author's life.D. It might be better than others.10.How does the author feel about inner-city schools?A. The stereotypes about them are not at all true.B. They are not necessarily all bad, as they can be good.C. They are much poorer than those in the suburbs.D. The students there are more enlightened.In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币⼚) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的⼈). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme2.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word "press" means ________.A. publicationB. newspaperC. machineD. the act of pushing down3.The design of a buffalo was modified ________.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were "beyond understanding"C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the Philadelphia MintD. because the words were too high on the coin4.According to one collectors' magazine using a Native American and a buffalo was ________.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea5.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson ________.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cards focused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it8.

Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders andhe records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.3.What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (⽀流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soil thereB. they did not realize that the river would overflow sometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of the yearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how to control the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledge all over the world。

大学英语3重修复习资料Coaching Your Kids in Sports and Extracurricular ActivitiesMany parents ― especially fathers ― enjoy coaching their kids’ sports teams and leading children’ scout troops （童子军）. It is a great way to get to know your child in a social envir onment, and to actively involve yourself in your child’s life outside the home. Sports and other extracurricular activities are vehicles by which your child learns how to interact with other people and how to observe the fairness of games and activities. They learn valuable childhood lessons during these activities, and who could blame you for wanting to be a part of it?Some children are excited about the prospect of having Mommy or Daddy involved in their activities, and others fight against it as though it were the worst thing in the world. I was a member of the latter group of kids because I wanted to express my independence and learn how to handle myself without the watchful eyes of my parents. I’m sure I hurt their feelings in my adamancy （固执）on the issue, but they respected my feelings once I reached a certain age.If you are thinking about coaching or leading an activity, it’s important to talk with your kids and determine their feelings. Find out how they react to the prospect of your involvement, and ask why they feel the way that they do. Your decision on the issue is entirely up to you, but it is still a good idea to ask your children what they think.But not matter how they feel, there are a few guidelines that you should follow when coaching and leading activities. These guidelines will help create a better relationship between you and your child, and prevent any problems from arising in the future.1. Treat your child exactly the way you treat the other children.As an authority figure, it is your job not to play favorites, which includes your child. If you favor your child above the others, you will create tension in the team or group, and the other players will become hostile toward your child for getting the advantage. It i sn’t that you should pretend that you aren’t a parent, but choose teams fairly and give everyone an equal opportunity in the activity.2. Make time for the activity.There is nothing worse for a child than to have their parent fail their team. If you commit to coaching or leading, ensure that you can meet every obligation and that you have time in your busy schedule to stay active with the group. If you think that you might have conflicts with time, then wait for another opportunity.3. Enjoy the activity.If you want to coach your son’s basketball team, but you hate the sport, then you probably won’t be very good at it, and you will make your son miserable. Coaching a sport just to have time with your child isn’t the right way to go. If you want to help with an activity or sport, make sure that it’s something that you enjoy and that you are knowledgeable about.4. Don’t tell lots of stories.If you spend half of practice regaining the group with stories from your childhood and how you played the sport, then your child will be embarrassed. Keep it completely focused on the kids during the activity, and save your stories for the home. It will make for a better relationship with your child and a higher team morale （士气）.5. Be prepared to deal with other parents.Even if you coach or lead fairly, be prepared for angry phone calls accusing you of playing favorites. Unfortunately, parents are often more passionate about kids’ activities than the children, and you should be cognizant （认识到的）of what you are getting yourself into. Keep your cool and handle every situation calmly.6. Cultivate the talent of every child.Your job as a coach or leader is to assist everyone with their talents and to encourage everyone to work and play bet ter. It is not your job to be your child’s personal cheerleader, or to spend more time cultivating their talents than those of the other kids. Talk with your child about this, and make sure that he or she is comfortable with the scenario.7. Never take practice home.If you have a bad practice, or if things went poorly at the scout meeting, leave it on the field or in the community center. You can’t punish your child for the problems with activities. Home should be a place where your child feels safe and welcome, not a continuation of soccer practice. Leave practice on the field. Make time for the activity.Keep “War Stories” to a minimum.1. It can be assumed that the target audience of this article is parents.2. By doing sports and other extracurricular activities children can learn how to interact with other people and how to observe the fairness of games and activities.3. Your decision on whether to coach or lead an activity is entirely up to what your childrenthink.4. In coaching or leading an activity, you should be fair to every player.5. The worst thing for a child is that his parent leads his team to failure.6. Telling stories from your childhood and how you played the sport can help to stimulate thechildren and boost their team morale.7. As a coach or leader your job is to be your child’s personal cheerleader.8. When the author was young he fought against his parents’ involvement in his activitiesbecause he _____________.9. If you want to help with an activity or sport, make sure that it’s something _____________.10. In case any problem comes up during the activity, you should leave it _____________.选词填空Attitudes towards __1___ are changing in much the same way that attitudes towards night dreaming have changed. Once it was thought that nighttime dreams_2__ with our needed rest. But then researchers tried interrupting the dreams of sleepers. They learned that sleepers who aren’t allowed to dream lose the__3___ of rest. They become tense and anxious. They become _4__. They have trouble concentrating. Their mental health is temporarily damaged. To feel well again, they must be allowed to dream.Now researchers are finding that daydreaming may also be important to mental health. Daydreaming, they tell us, is a good means of __5___. But its benefits go beyond this. A number of psychologists have _6__ experiments and have reached some __7_ conclusions.Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to __8__ growth. It also improves concentration, attention span, and the ability to get along with others, she says. In an experiment with school children, this same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to_9__. They had more happy feelings. They worked together better. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved _10__ and creative abilities.阅读理解Passage OneThey may look green, with their manicured (修剪过的) lawns and tree-lined streets ― and in fact suburbs were once considered a healthy alternative to grimy, crowded urban living. But over time, the American dream of owning a house in the suburbs has become an environmental nightmare .“Suburbs are laid out so that you can’t get to most places without a car,” says Phili p Langdon, who studied suburban developments in 18 states for his book, A Better Place to Live: Reshaping the American Suburb. Typical suburban zoning places houses at a distance from retail and commercial buildings ― making a car a necessity. With cars co mes air pollution; shopping districts with huge, paved parking areas; and houses fronted by big garages instead of congenial porches. Cars aren’t cheap, either. According to figures fromthe American Automobile Association, a typical suburban family has two vehicles, whichtogether eat up about 25% percent of the household’s after-tax income.Suburbs also use more developed land to house people than urban areas, because each family has a separate dwelling and yard. Most yard space is devoted to growing lawns thatare inhospitable to native wildlife. And per acre, far more chemicals are applied tosuburban lawns than to the nation’s farmland.Lastly, suburbs aren’t ideal places for socializing. Although the majority of Americans arenow suburbanites, “there is a lack of gathering places and community life,” says Langdon.“Life is more satisfying when you can get together with people.”1. According to the author, living in suburbs is ________ to living in urban areas now.A) not a healthy alternative C) not an environmental alternativeB) a healthy alternative D) an environmental alternative2. A car is a ________ for suburban living.A) substitute B) necessity C) token D) sign3. The word “suburbanites” means ________ in suburbs.A) plants B) animals C) surroundings D) people living4. Yard space which is devoted to growing lawns is not an ideal place to host ________.A) human beings B) plants C) guests D) animals5. It can be inferred that an ideal residential area should have ________ for socializing.A) churches B) supermarkets C) gathering places D) communities1. C2. B 3 D 4 D 5 CPassage TwoEarthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-relatedfatalities (死亡) have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction hasbeen beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due tofalling down of buildings and the effects of rock slides, floods, fire, disease, gigantic seawaves, and other phenomena resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakesthemselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur on two specific areas, along the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains. But they may, however,it happens anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the fear and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquakeprediction may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns ofmovements in the earth’s surface, and other unusual phenomena, scientists have shownincreasing success in predicting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, aworldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to preparefor the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and do away with the destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become betterunderstood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible destructionbefore it occurs.1 Most destruction brought about by earthquakes is the results of the following EXCEPT________.2 Most destruction brought about by earthquakes is the results of the following EXCEPT________.A) the collapsing of buildings and the fire it causesB) the floods and huge sea waves resulting from earthquakesC) the disease that often follows earthquakesD) the panic brought about by earthquakes3 ”This element of the unknown” in paragraph 3 refers to the fact that ________.A) earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculationB) millions of people have died during earthquakesC) earthquakes may occur anywhere at any timeD) there are other phenomena resulting from earthquakes4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) A worldwide earthquake warning network has been set up to avoid majorearthquakes.B) Unusual behavior of animals may be an indication of possible earthquakes.C) It seems possible now for scientists to predict when and where earthquakes willoccur.D) Most earthquakes take place on some specific areas of the earth.5. The author believes that the prediction of earthquakes ________.A) should be more accurate in future C) is as a matter of factimpossibleB) is of some help D) is really reliable6 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author is chiefly interested in________.A) controlling earthquakesB) making earthquakes harmlessC) getting prepared and handling the possible destruction beforehandD) having a better understanding of earthquakes1 D 2. C 3. B 4. B 5. CPassage threeQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Perhaps the most important defining characteristic of a human being is culture. The term culture as used here is not limited to operas, paintings, and other artistic endeavors. These are seen by anthropologists (人类学家) as examples of culture: culture itself is the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behavior and thought in relation to their environment. Defined in this manner, culture has three principal aspects: behavioral, perceptual and material. The behavioral component refers to how people act, especially how they interact with each other. Inchild rearing (养育) , for example, parents and children tend to interact in a relatively patterned fashion. Then there is the manner of perception, the ways people perceive the world. For example, parents have a limited range of ideas about how they should act, and what significance parenthood carries in the scheme of things. Finally, there is the material component of culture — the physical objects that we produce.Most of what goes into making up culture is a result of learning —modifying behavior in response to experience within an environment. Learning is practically universal among organisms. But no other organism has a greater capacity for learning than a human, or depends as much on learned behavior for its survival.While the survival of most other organisms is to some extent safeguarded by instincts, humans rely heavily on culture for their survival. People must learn how to live in a particular social and physical setting, biology playing but a minimal (最小限度的) role.The ideas and modes of behavior that constitute culture are transmitted largely by a complex system of symbols that includes language. Humans have evolved an extremely complex system of communication that is unique to our species. Without it the creation of human culture as we know it would be impossible.1. What is the definition of culture by anthropologists?A)Operas, paintings and may other artistic activities as a whole.B)Customary manners of behavior and thought related to the environment.C)Behavioral, perceptual and material components interacting with each other.D)The different ways people perceive the physical world.2. According to the passage, the behavior of making tools for producing materialobjects should fall within the category of _________ component of culture.A) behavioral B) perceptual C) material D) artistic3. Learning is most essential for _________.A)all the organisms to surviveB)all the organisms to acquire learned behaviorC)human beings to respond to experience within an environmentD)human beings to survive and live in a society4. What’s the element to human culture?A)Communication in language.B)Biological adaptation to the environmentC)Safeguarding by instinctsD)Learning to survive5. Which of the following statements is True?A)The capacity for learning can only be observed in human beings.B)Biology plays an important role in humans’ living in a social and physicalsetting.C)Human behavior and thought do not have anything to do with culture.D)If there were no language communicatio n, humans couldn’t have created thepresent culture.1.

大学英语（三）综合复习资料I. Reading ComprehensionPassage 1I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I c ouldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights，and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep becauseI kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.1.February 6,1966 a day unforgettable to the writer because _______.A. it was his first day in New YorkB. it was very clear that dayC. that day he took a plane and landed at Kennedy AirportD. it was snowing and cold that day2.On the way to his hotel, the writer ______.A. was silent all the timeB. kept talking to his friendC. looked out of the window with great interestD. showed his friend something he brought with him3. He did not have what he really wanted, because ______.A. he only made some gesturesB. he did not order at allC. he could not make himself understoodD. the waiter was unwilling to serve4. After dinner, he ______.A. walked back to the hotel right awayB. had a walking tour about the cityC. went to the moviesD. did some shopping on Broadway5. That night he could not sleep, because ______.A. he did not know what to do the next dayB. he was not tired at allC. he kept hearing the fire and police sirensD. he was thinking about this great cityPassage 2A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men. And one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today as it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of misfortune or suffering. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us in age.A good book is often the best container of a life, containing the best that life could think out, for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words and golden thoughts, which, remembered and cared about, become our lasting companions and comforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lastingproducts of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.The great and good do not die even in this world. Well preserved in the books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of the past. The imperial intellects of the worlds are as much alive now as they were ages ago.6. The relationship between a man’s friends and his books is that _______.A. his books are as good as his friendsB. his books are better than his friendsC. his books are not as good as his friendsD. his books are worse than his friends7. A good book is our best friend because it is ______.A. always silentB. most beautifully printedC. most patient and cheerfulD. the best listener8. According to the author, the world of man’s life is the world of ______.A. his willB. his behaviorsC. his opinionsD. his thoughts9. For books the effect of time is ______.A. to make a book disappear as time goes byB. to decide the content of a bookC. to separate the bad books from the good onesD. to find the practical use of books10. “Their spirits walk abroad” means that ______.A. the author’s thoughts are widespreadB. the author goes abroad with his bookC. the author of a book will never dieD. readers can read books of other countriesPassage 3Pigeons have been used as messengers for 500 years, because of their special ability to find home. The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they workpretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun? We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days”start at some different time from the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.11.Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______.A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people12.The secret of the homing pigeons is ______.A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children13.All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when ______.A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets14.The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ______ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle15. Pigeons have ______ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 4My surname is “Sun”, wh ich happens to be spelt exactly like the English word “Sun”. It interested quite a few people on my way to London.At London Airport a tall policeman took my passport to check the visa.“Your name is S, U, N—Sun,” he pronounced it just as any other Engl ishman would. “You are wanted, young man!” Suddenly he took hold of my arm, and looked at me seriously.It was a great shock to me, for I knew if a person is wanted by the police, he must have broken the law in some way. I protested: “What are you doing? Why should I be wanted? I’ve never done any harm to anybody.”“Yes, you are wanted—there’s no doubt about it.” He tightened his grip.“Is there anything wrong with my passport or the entry visa? Do I have to go back to China?”“Go back? Now that you are here, we’ll never let you run away.”“But what’s happened? What have I done?”“Don’t you know yourself?” he looked as if he was really surprised.“Of course not. Before you arrest me, you must let me know exactly how I happened to have broken the law!”It was not until then that a smile appeared on his face. He let go my arm and said: “It’s very simple, Mr. Sun. England is a country with little sunshine. Since your name is Sun, you are wanted here. Now that you’ve come, of course we don’t want you to go away. But I have to give back your passport all the same. Here you are.”So this was English humor, I thought, as I wiped the sweat on my forehead.16. The author’s surname is the same as the English word “Sun” in ______.A. pronunciationB. spellingC. meaningD. both B and C17. In London it is usually ______.A. windyB. snowyC. cloudyD. sunny18. By saying “you are wanted”, the policeman really wanted to ______.A. arrest the authorB. have a joke with the authorC. ask the author to do somethingD. send the author back to China19. When “caught” by the policeman, the author thought ______.A. he must have stolen somethingB. he must have been cheatedC. there must have been something wrong with his passportD. there must have been something wrong with his package20. For the English humor the author felt ______.A. happyB. surprisedC. angryD. annoyedPassage 5Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness. We are all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life — the goods and services that make possible our modern civilization. But we are much less conscious of the extent to which work provides the more important psychological well-being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.Historically, work has been associated with slavery and sin and punishment. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional complaints: “I can’t wait for my vacation,” or “I wish I could stay at home today.” Agai nst this background, it may come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but also other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual’s happiness and sense of personal achievement. Work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity.Rather than a punishment or a burden, work is the opportunity to realize one’s potential. For large numbers of people, the absence of their w ork is harmful to their health. Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don’t have their jobs to go to. It has been observed that unemployment brings enormous psychological troubles besides the financial pressure.21. According to the author, ______ is the most important thing that work can bring to us.A. goodsB. servicesC. mental healthD. physical health22. In the past, work was NOT looked on as ______.A. slaveryB. punishmentC. sinD. happiness23. According to the passage, work provides us with all the following EXCEPT ______.A. illnessB. happinessC. personal achievementD. financial benefits24. Many people regularly have headaches when they have ______.A. too much work to doB. too many guests to attend toC. no work to doD. no money to earn from work25. Everyone needs ______.A. a sense of pride as a top employeeB. a sense of accomplishmentC. a punishment in the form of workD. a hard discipline in workPassage 6My grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren’t. There was no in-between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will show.”Honesty is something we must demand of ourselves. A good test for this value is to look at whether you always give others credit that is rightfully theirs, whether you are not afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are.David Ogilvy, founder of the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather, made this point clear to his newly appointed office heads by sending each a set of dolls with five progressively smaller figures inside. His message was contained in the smallest doll: “If ea ch of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, Ogilvy & Mather will become a company of giants.” And that is precisely what the company became — one of the largest and most respected advertising organizations in the world.The other test for the value is: be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack real core values rely on external factors —their looksor social positions — in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this mask, but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.Integrity means having a personal standard of morality and that is not relative to situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behavior. Integrity means you do what you do because it’s right and not just fashionable. It will take you forward into the 21st century without having to check your tracks in a rear view mirror. My grandparents taught me that.26. The author’s grandparents believed one was ______.A. honest as well as dishonestB. neither honest nor dishonestC. either honest or dishonestD. both honest and dishonest27.In the set of dolls, the smallest one stands for ______.A. a giantB. a dwarfC. a tall manD. a baby28.Mr. David Ogilvy was eager to hire the people who are ______.A. better and smarter than himselfB. worse and less smart than himselfC. as good and smart as himselfD. not so good and smart as himself29.People with real core values rely on ______.A. their looksB. their social positionsC. their familyD. their inner value30.To seek integrity, you must do what is ______.A. rightB. fashionableC. beneficialD. profitablePassage 7Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few — for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are notof prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common —they often talk about“being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.31. According to the author,______.A.all those who get on well with each other are friendsB.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC.everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD.every student has 6 friends32. When we make friends, we consider such things as age, race, and background,because ______.A.it is not easy to have a friendly relationship with people when thereis a marked difference in age and backgroundB.the degree of friendship between two people and the reason for theirshared interest can vary greatlyC.friends need to know all these thingsD.these are the most important factors to make friends33. In Paragraph 2,“being on the same wavelength” means“______”.ing the same frequency while talkingB.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD.having the same background34. Which of the following is NOT implied or directly stated in the passage?A.Even friends may have differences of opinions.B.Friends never argue with each other.C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.35. To strengthen friendly relationship, people______.A.must hold friendship ceremoniesB.have to eliminate differences in backgroundC.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the sameraceD.should support and understand each other through shared experiences andemotionsPassage 8Going to an amusement park or ball game and watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.The way people cling to the belief that fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: things that lead to happiness often involve some pain.Couples who choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want, travel wherever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or three-day vacation. But couples who decide not to have children never experience the pleasure of hugging them or tucking them into bed at night. They never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It creates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich peoplewe were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.The moment we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we begin to lead our lives differently. The effect can be, quite literally, life-transforming.36.Fun activities can help us ______.A. to workB. to relaxC. to thinkD. to study37.The positive effects of fun can last ______.A. for the last timeB. for a long timeC. for the time beingD. for the time to come38.The idea that ______ prevents people from gaining real happiness.A. fun is happinessB. fun is not easy to getC. happiness is hard to getD. happiness and fun are different39.It is very happy for parents to ______.A. stay up late with their childrenB. help their children do assignmentsC. watch their children grow upD. earn money for their children’s marriage40. Knowing the difference between happiness and fun can give us ______.A. more courage to face difficultiesB. more chances to reach our goalC. more money to buy what we wantD. more time to do what we should doPassage 9In the house where I grew up, we had a room we called the library. It wasn’t a real library, of course; it was just a small room with a television set. But there were bookshelves built into all four walls and hundreds of books surrounded us in that room. The books, collected by my parents and grandparents throughout their lifetime, were a part of my childhood.The stories of problems young people have with reading are not new, but the tendency seems to be worsening. Recently the Chancellor of the University of Illinois’s branch campus in Chicago said that 10 percent of the freshmen at his university could read no better than the average eighth grader and many had ranked in the top half of their high-school classes.Much of the problem is that we live in a passive age. To listen to a record album, to sit through a movie, to watch a television show — all requires nothing of the cultural consumer, except for his mere presence. To read a book, though, takes an act of will on the part of the consumer. He must reallywant to find out what is inside. He cannot just sit there; he must do something, even though the something is as simple an action as opening the book, closing the door and beginning to read.41. In the house where the author grew up, most of the space was taken up by ______.A. a television setB. booksC. furnitureD. toys42. ______ collected the books and passed on to me.A. my parents and grandparentsB. my parents and teachersC. my uncles and parentsD. my mother and grandparents43. People, in the author’s view, are suffering from _______.A. listening problemsB. reading problemsC. behavior problemsD. belief problems44. In the passive age, ______ are most popular.A. televisionsB. newspapersC. booksD. magazines45. The man who wants to find out what is in books is ______.A. a passive receiverB. an active senderC. a reader with some willD. a passive learnerPassage 10Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. Teachers and textbooks are not infallible. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.Every class was an adventure with Mr. Whitson. I can still remember some science periods almost from beginning to end. One day he told us that his Volkswagen was a living organism. It took us two full days to put together a refutation he would accept. He didn’t let us off the hook until we had proved not only that we knew what an organism was, but also that we had the courage to stand up for the truth.We carried our brand-new skepticism into all our classes. This caused problems for the other teachers, who weren’t used to being challenged. Our history teacher would be lecturing about something, and then there would be clearing of the throat and someone would say “cattywampus”.If I am ever asked to propose a solution to the crisis in our schools, it will be Mr. W hitson. I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries,but Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you could have fun doing it.Not everyone sees the value in this.46.One day the students were required to prove that Volkswagen was not ______.A. a brand of carsB. a plantC. an organismD. an animal47.What lesson did the students learn from the two-day discussion in Mr. Whitson’s class?A. To believe in the textbook.B. To believe in the teacher.C. To learn the skills of discussion.D. To have the courage to challenge authorities.48.The teaching method Mr. Whitson applied meant ______ to other teachers.A. changeB. challengeC. improvementD. hard work49.The students considered the history lecture ______.A. interestingB. dullC. fallibleD. infallible50.The most important thing Mr. Whitson’s class gave them was ______.A.the carefulness in your workB.the bravery to overcome difficultiesC.the courage to tell people they were wrongD.the confidence in themselvesII.
