Answer the following questions with the information from the passage.PASSAGE 1It is hard to get any agreement on the precise meaning of the term“social class”. Ineveryday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale. Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part.In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats, and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of “middle class”of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one-third of the total were slaves, who did not count politically at all. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the“metics”, who were freemen, though they too were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of “citizens”, who were themselves divided into subclasses.In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of a money economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the“burghers”or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modern middle class. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer.1. List at least three common criteria for telling a person’s social position.2. Slaves in Greece in the sixth century B.C. were not ______ significant.3. The metics, one of the three classes of Greece, consisted mainly of ________.4. What did the development of a money economy and the growth of trade lead to?PASSAGE 2Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. “The e-book promises to wreak a slow havoc on life as we know it,”Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment, university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (赞成和反对的理由) of e-book technology’s impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up（蜷曲）with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable（不可生物降解）trash.On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing.In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society’s approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the “have-nots”get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.1. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To draw people’s attention to the disadvantages of e-booksB. To call on people to reject E-booksC. To criticize schools and business that don’t provide e-booksD. To encourage people to use e-books2. What is Jason Ohler’s attitude towards e-books?A. PositiveB. IndifferentC. CautiousD. Suspicious3. In what sense do e-books exert a negative impact on the environment?A. They are unable to be broken down into harmless products.B. They consume a lot of natural resources.C. They produce harmful gases.D. They are capable of being reused.4. What is e-books’ negative impact on social relationships？A. They create new jobs only for writers.B. Fewer and fewer people have access to new technology.C. They may threaten some traditional trades.D. They isolate people from one another.5. What does Ohler suggest regarding the use of e-books?A. The society should ensure the poor have access to the technology.B. The society should ban the use of e-books if they cannot reduce eye fatigue.C. The society should approve of the use of e-books if they are made recyclable.D. The schools should solve the present problems of e-books.PASSAGE 3When they marry, husbands and wives have well-developed health histories and well-established congenital (天生的) and developmental propensities（嗜好）toward good and ill health. Substantial research suggests that, given the existing health propensity and health condition of an individual at a particular time, his or her probability of better or worse future health is affected by a variety of socially mediated factors that are subject to influence or manipulation by his or her spouse.Spouses can promote each other’s health by ameliorating （改善）psychological stress. A substantial literature develops strong evidence that psychological stress causes illness, increases mortality risk, and serves as an important mechanism that links socioeconomic characteristics to health and mortality. Stress-reducing mechanisms include removal of sources of stress, and management of stress by talking about it to a trusted other person, psychiatric treatment, physical exercise, recreation and other means. A spouse can provide or encourage all of these stress-reducing behaviors.Spouses also can promote each other’s health by providing eac h other with supportive social contact, and they can facilitate or inhibit each other’s social contact with supportive others. Evidence suggests that health is greatly advanced by supportive social contacts, including positive interaction with relatives, friends, coworkers and acquaintances. Recent experimental data shows that persons with more diverse social networks are more resistant to experimentally introduced upper respiratory (呼吸的)viruses than persons with less diverse social networks.Spouses can also promote each other’s health by providing each other with money income, and they can help each other manage money income effectively. Money does not buy health directly, but it can be used to purchase goods and services that make good health more likely. These goods and services include nutritious food, a hygienic and safe environment, medical care, and amenities that reduce psychological stress. Unless estranged or unusually wealthy, husbands and wives almost always share their financial resources and purchases and consume many of these health-promoting goods and services jointly. In short, there are many ways in which spouses can influence each other’s probability of good health.1. What is the passage mainly about?A. How can spouses promote each other’s health.B. The spouse’s probability of future healthC. Effects of spouse’s employment and hours of work on each other’s health.D. Spouses influence each other in various ways.2. According to the author, what is the most effective way for the husband to reduce psychological stress?A. to talk to other person.B. to go to see psychiatrist.C. to enjoy.D. to talk with his wife.3. Which one is the suitable summary of paragraph 1?A. Spouse’s influence is of vital importance to each other’s health.B. Spouse’s influence has nothing to do with health.C. Healthy spouses will remain health after their marriage.D. There are a variety of socially mediated factors.4. How can money make good health?A. Money can buy health directly.B. Spouses can manage money income effectively.C. Money can provide spouses with goods and services, which is likely to make good health.D. Husbands and wives share everything.5. Which of the following is likely to make spouses in ill health?A. Positive interaction with relatives.B. Appropriate physical exercise.C. Few social networks.D. Nutritious food.IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.1. Don’t make a fuss about such a small thing bec ause that is the last thing I expected.2. Something shiny in the grass caught my eye.3. If you have not signed a contract, you are under no obligation to pay them any money.4. Will their good intentions become realities or hollow promises?5. The manufacturer will have to repair that watch free of charge - it's still under guarantee.V. Translate the following sentences into English.1. 有些父母选购神童故事给孩子看，希望孩子将来有一天会出人头地。
Unit 1无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子，同样也适应于男子。
我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。

大学体验英语-综合教程4 Unit1Passage AUnit 1无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子，同样也适应于男子。

Unit 1IdentityWarm UpCheck V ocabulary Knowledgeself-conscious = nervous or embarrassed about your appearance or what other people think of youidentify with = to feel a strong sympathetic or imaginative bond with somebody or something and a sense of understanding and sharing his, her, or its nature or concerns belonging = happiness felt in a secure relationshipScript / Answers(Answers in bold)As a black child growing up in an almost all-white setting, I set out on a search for a cultural and racial identity. When my parents would come to visit, I was self-conscious about being seen with my black friends. I also worried about being seen too often with my white friends. I was very aware of feeling caught between two cultures. More and more, I was identifying with black culture as an African American. Some of my friends were clear about their own identities as African Americans, but some others struck me as even more confused than I was about where they belonged. I came to believe that I could live however I wanted to live and still be accepted as a member of the black community. I enjoyed that feeling of belonging （归宿感）.Answers(in bold)1. A: How did you feel about your Grandma’s question?B: I remember being startled and confused by her question. I felt disoriented分不清方向或目标的, 无判断力的.2. A: Do you enjoy being with other people?B: Not really. The easy flow of casual social chat has remained forever beyond my reach and beyond my interest, too.3. A: What did you do when the young man insulted you?B: I almost froze. I felt helpless and unable to defend myself.4. A: I heard several loud knocks on the door. What happened?B: I was wanted（被通缉的）for bank fraud although it wasn’t I who committed the crime.Listening Task 1First Listening/AnswersintrovertedshytimidCheck V ocabulary Knowledgecurl up = to assume (have) a position with the legs drawn up蜷曲：将双腿向上耸起的姿势startled = alarmed, frightened, or surprisedconscious = subjectively known or feltSecond ListeningAnswers1. The speaker’s grandma thought his way of being was unusual / there was something wrong with the speaker.2. The speaker was surprised at his grandma’s remark because he never thought his way of being was problematic / he never wanted to play with the other children.3. When he was with the other children the speaker felt confused / different / disoriented.Third ListeningAnswers for Reference1. Other children liked playing games together; I liked being alone reading and writing. My grandma reacted to my way of being by remarking “what’s wrong with you? Why don’t the other children want to play with you?” By then I had never had an interest in playing with the other children. I thought it was only natural for me to be like this. I had never thought that they didn’t “want to play with” me. Later, in the fourth grade, I began to feel myself different from other children, living in a different universe. I decided to turn back to my inner world reading and writing again. In this way I moved further away from my peers. I have always found it difficult to participate in the casual social chat.2. Accept who you are.ScriptThe neighborhood children my age played together: either active, physical games outdoors or games of dolls-and-house (s activities played with dolls and doll house玩具娃娃+玩具娃娃房子/ 过家家?) indoors. I, on the other hand, spent much of my childhood alone. I’d curl up in a chair reading fairytales and myths, daydreaming, writing poems or stories and drawing pictures. Sometime around the fourth grade, my “big” (often critical, judgmental (审判的)) Grandma, who’d been visiting us said to me, “What’s wrong with you! Why don’t the other children want to play with you?” I remember being startled and confused by her question. I’d never been particularly interested in playing with the other children. It hadn’t, till then, occurred to me that that was either odd (古怪的) or something wrong with me. Nor had it occurred to me that they didn’t “want to play with”me. My first conscious memory of feeling different was in the fourth grade. At the wardrobe, listening to classmates joking, chattering and laughing with each other, I realized I hadn’t a clue about what was so funny or of how to participate in their easy chatter. They seemed to live in a universe about which I knew nothing at all. I tried to act like others but it was so difficult. I felt confused and disoriented. I turned back to my inner world: reading books, writing and daydreaming. My inwardness grew me in ways that continued to move me further away from the world of my age peers (同辈，同等的人). The easy flow of casual social chat has remained forever beyond my reach and beyond my interest, too. Listening Task 2First listening/Answersbeing refused by both societiesCheck V ocabulary Knowledgenigger = used as a disparaging term for a black person<美>黑鬼(对黑人的蔑称) racist = a person who discriminates or has prejudice against people of other races种族主义者Second listeningAnswers1. F2. ?3. T4. F5. T6. T7. ?Third ListeningScriptThe greatest difficulty for me is that as a person of mixed origin I am at home neither here nor there. Wherever I am, I am regarded as being foreign, either “white”or “black”. It happens to me when I live in my mother’s country of origin, in Switzerland, and it happened to me when I was living in my father’s country, Ivory Coast. I would feel at home where I could feel that people accept me just the way I am! When you are a small child you first do not feel that you are different from the others. But soon the others will make you feel different—and children too can be very cruel in their behavior against the “strange child”. Sometimes incredible incidents happen. Some time ago I was riding my bike somewhere in a little place in Switzerland nearby to where I live. A car drove by, and the male driver opened the window and yelled at me: “Scheiss—Neger—dirty nigger!” I almost froze. I felt helpless and unable to defend myself. When I looked at the number plate, I saw that it was a German number plate. This means that the insulting person himself was a foreigner in this country! How could he dare insult me like this? I felt that I wanted to kill this man. When I recovered I was able to think about it more clearly. These racist people are just stupid and do not know anything about life.Real World ListeningAnswers1. A victim feels lucky that he is safe from identity theft but actually he doesn’t know when he becomes a victim, too. Identity theft could take place without the victim’s immediate awareness.2. An identity thief pretends to be from a public utility (a private company that is allowed by the government to provide important services such as gas, electricity, water, etc./services provided by the government or state, such as the supply of electricity and gas, or the train network公共事业机构) and tries to get someone’s personal information.3. An employer is looking for someone to crack down on (制裁；惩罚) identity theft but either deliberately or inadvertently (漫不经心的, 非有意的;) he collects the personal information of the applicant.4. Through the Internet adolescents (teenagers) may be coaxed into providing the financial information of the family.[checkbook:a small book of cheques that your bank gives you ;a book containing blank checks issued by a bank支票簿]The recording is about identity theft.Culture NotesIdentity theft is the use of one person’s personal information by another to commitfraud or other crimes. The most common forms of identity theft occur when someone obtains another person’s social security number, driver’s license number, date of birth, and the like and uses it to open a fraudulent (欺诈性的) bank, credit card, cellular telephone, or other account, or to obtain false loans. Criminal identity theft, the most common nonfinancial type, occurs when someone gives another’s personal information to a law enforcement (实施, 执行) officer when he or she is arrested. In addition to the financial losses resulting from identity theft, the person whose personal information has been used will have an erroneous (错误的) credit or criminal history that is often expensive and time-consuming to correct. The occurrence of identity theft increased significantly beginning in the late 1990s due to the computerization of records and the ability to use another’s personal information anonymously (匿名的; 无名的; 假名的) over the Internet.Get the Main IdeasAnswers1. The man was wanted by the police because he was charged with bank fraud.2. The man paid the money and all the charges were dismissed.3. He spent several days in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Apparently the police knew that he was not the person who committed the bank fraud.4. Their credit may be ruined so that they can’t get loans and it may take them years to settle the damage.5. The person who stole the man’s identity was caught and put in jail for identity fraud.ScriptMelanie: Your story of identity theft is quite scary. What happened?Nick: One day early in the morning, I was awakened by a loud knock. When I opened the door, five policemen were standing there telling me to go to jail. I asked why and they said that I was wanted (being looked for by the police) for bank fraud. I said “I never did that!”and they said “that’s something we’ve never heard before… tell it to the judge.”Melanie: Did you really have to spend time in jail?Nick: Yes, I certainly did.Melanie: How could you prove it wasn’t you who committed the crime?Nick: Frankly, I never did. I simply paid the amount owed and all the charges (指控) were dismissed (撤销). It was really a debt to a casino (娱乐场(供表演跳舞、赌博的地方) although it is a felony (重罪), all they wanted was their money.Melanie: Whew (interj.（感叹词）! For me, perhaps the most alarming aspectof your story is that you had to spend several days in jail—in spite of thefact that they knew that the person who committed the fraud was of adifferent race than you. That is truly scary.Nick: Yes. People suffer because others steal their identities to work illegally.Someone used another’s identity for years and ruined their credit. When their kids want to get their first cars or student loans it takes them years to settle the damage.Melanie: Did they catch the person who used your identity to commit the crimes?Nick: Yes. He was put in jail for identity fraud.。

Jack wishes that he ________ business instead of history when he was in university.A. had studiedB. studyC. studiedD. had been studyingIII. Answer the following questions with the information from the passage.PASSAGE 1It is hard to get any agreement on the precise meaning of the term“social class”. In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale. Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part.In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats, and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of “middle class”of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one-third of the total were slaves, who did not count politically at all. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the“metics”, who were freemen, though they too were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of “citizens”, who were themselves divided into subclasses.In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of a money economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the“burghers”or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modern middle class. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer.1. List at least three common criteria for telling a person’s social position.2. Slaves in Greece in the sixth century B.C. were not ______ significant.3. The metics, one of the three classes of Greece, consisted mainly of ________.4. What did the development of a money economy and the growth of trade lead to?PASSAGE 2Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. “The e-book promises to wreak a slow havoc on life as we know it,”Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment, university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (赞成和反对的理由) of e-book technology’s impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up（蜷曲）with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable（不可生物降解）trash.On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing.In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society’s approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the “have-nots”get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.1. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To draw people’s attention to the disadvantages of e-booksB. To call on people to reject E-booksC. To criticize schools and busi ness that don’t provide e-booksD. To encourage people to use e-books2. What is Jason Ohler’s attitude towards e-books?A. PositiveB. IndifferentC. CautiousD. Suspicious3. In what sense do e-books exert a negative impact on the environment?A. They are unable to be broken down into harmless products.B. They consume a lot of natural resources.C. They produce harmful gases.D. They are capable of being reused.4. What is e-books’ negative impact on social relationships？A. They create new jobs only for writers.B. Fewer and fewer people have access to new technology.C. They may threaten some traditional trades.D. They isolate people from one another.5. What does Ohler suggest regarding the use of e-books?A. The society should ensure the poor have access to the technology.B. The society should ban the use of e-books if they cannot reduce eye fatigue.C. The society should approve of the use of e-books if they are made recyclable.D. The schools should solve the present problems of e-books.PASSAGE 3When they marry, husbands and wives have well-developed health histories and well-established congenital (天生的) and developmental propensities（嗜好）toward good and ill health. Substantial research suggests that, given the existing health propensity and health condition of an individual at a particular time, his or her probability of better or worse future health is affected bya variety of socially mediated factors that are subject to influence or manipulation by his or her spouse.Spouses can promote each ot her’s health by ameliorating （改善）psychological stress. A substantial literature develops strong evidence that psychological stress causes illness, increases mortality risk, and serves as an important mechanism that links socioeconomic characteristics to health and mortality. Stress-reducing mechanisms include removal of sources of stress, and management of stress by talking about it to a trusted other person, psychiatric treatment, physical exercise, recreation and other means. A spouse can provide or encourage all of these stress-reducing behaviors.Spouses also can promote each other’s health by providing each other with supportive social contact, and they can facilitate or inhibit each other’s social contact with supportive others. Evidence suggests that health is greatly advanced by supportive social contacts, including positive interaction with relatives, friends, coworkers and acquaintances. Recent experimental data shows that persons with more diverse social networks are more resistant to experimentally introduced upper respiratory (呼吸的)viruses than persons with less diverse social networks.Spouses can also promote each other’s health by providing each other with money income, and they can help each other manage money income effectively. Money does not buy health directly, but it can be used to purchase goods and services that make good health more likely. These goods and services include nutritious food, a hygienic and safe environment, medical care, and amenities that reduce psychological stress. Unless estranged or unusually wealthy, husbands and wives almost always share their financial resources and purchases and consume many of these health-promoting goods and services jointly. In short, there are many ways in which spouses can influence each other’s probability of good health.1. What is the passage mainly about?A. How can spouses promote each other’s health.B. The spouse’s probability of future healthC. Effects of spouse’s employment and hours of work on each other’s health.D. Spouses influence each other in various ways.2. According to the author, what is the most effective way for the husband to reduce psychological stress?A. to talk to other person.B. to go to see psychiatrist.C. to enjoy.D. to talk with his wife.3.

大学体验英语听说教程听力原文【第四册Unit_1】Identity学习啊学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了”。
为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。
” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。
但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。
一、多“说”。
自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。
千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。
或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。
尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。
不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。
因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。
只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。
如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。
别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。
三、多“读”。
“读”可以分为两种。
一种是“默读”。
每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

Jack wishes that he ________ business instead of history when he was in university.A. had studiedB. studyC. studiedD. had been studyingIII. Answer the following questions with the information from the passage.PASSAGE 1It is hard to get any agreement on the precise meaning of the term“social class”. In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale. Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part.In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats, and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of “middle class”of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one-third of the total were slaves, who did not count politically at all. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the“metics”, who were freemen, though they too were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of “citizens”, who were themselves divided into subclasses.In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of a money economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the“burghers”or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modern middle class. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer.1. List at least three common criteria for telling a person’s social position.2. Slaves in Greece in the sixth century B.C. were not ______ significant.3. The metics, one of the three classes of Greece, consisted mainly of ________.4. What did the development of a money economy and the growth of trade lead to?PASSAGE 2Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. “The e-book promises to wreak a slow havoc on life as we know it,”JasonOhler, professor of technology assessment, university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (赞成和反对的理由) of e-book technology’s impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up（蜷曲）with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable（不可生物降解）trash.On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing.In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society’s approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the “have-nots”get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.1. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To draw people’s attention to the disadvantages of e-booksB. To call on people to reject E-booksC. To criticize schools and business that don’t provide e-booksD. To encourage people to use e-books2. What is Jason Ohler’s attitude towards e-books?A. PositiveB. IndifferentC. CautiousD. Suspicious3. In what sense do e-books exert a negative impact on the environment?A. They are unable to be broken down into harmless products.B. They consume a lot of natural resources.C. They produce harmful gases.D. They are capable of being reused.4. What is e-books’ negative impact on social relationships？A. They create new jobs only for writers.B. Fewer and fewer people have access to new technology.C. They may threaten some traditional trades.D. They isolate people from one another.5. What does Ohler suggest regarding the use of e-books?A. The society should ensure the poor have access to the technology.B. The society should ban the use of e-books if they cannot reduce eye fatigue.C. The society should approve of the use of e-books if they are made recyclable.D. The schools should solve the present problems of e-books.PASSAGE 3When they marry, husbands and wives have well-developed health histories and well-established congenital (天生的) and developmental propensities（嗜好）toward good and ill health. Substantial research suggests that, given the existing health propensity and health condition of an individual at a particular time, his or her probability of better or worse future health is affected by a variety of socially mediated factors that are subject to influence or manipulation by his or her spouse.Spouses can promote each other’s health by ameliorating （改善）psychological stress. A substantial literature develops strong evidence that psychological stress causes illness, increases mortality risk, and serves as an important mechanism that links socioeconomic characteristics to health and mortality. Stress-reducing mechanisms include removal of sources of stress, and management of stress by talking about it to a trusted other person, psychiatric treatment, physical exercise, recreation and other means. A spouse can provide or encourage all of these stress-reducing behaviors.Spouses also can promote each other’s health by providing eac h other with supportive social contact, and they can facilitate or inhibit each other’s social contact with supportive others. Evidence suggests that health is greatly advanced by supportive social contacts, including positive interaction with relatives, friends, coworkers and acquaintances. Recent experimental data shows that persons with more diverse social networks are more resistant to experimentally introduced upper respiratory (呼吸的)viruses than persons with less diverse social networks.Spouses can also promote each other’s health by providing each other with money income, and they can help each other manage money income effectively. Money does not buy health directly, but it can be used to purchase goods and services that make good health more likely. These goods and services include nutritious food, a hygienic and safe environment, medical care, and amenities that reduce psychological stress. Unless estranged or unusually wealthy, husbands and wives almost always share their financial resources and purchases and consume many of these health-promoting goods and services jointly. In short, there are many ways in which spouses can influence each other’s probability of good health.1. What is the passage mainly about?A. How can spouses promote each other’s health.B. The spouse’s probability of future healthC. Effects of spouse’s employment and hours of work on each other’s health.D. Spouses influence each other in various ways.2. According to the author, what is the most effective way for the husband to reduce psychological stress?A. to talk to other person.B. to go to see psychiatrist.C. to enjoy.D. to talk with his wife.3. Which one is the suitable summary of paragraph 1?A. Spouse’s influence is of vital importance to each other’s health.B. Spouse’s influence has nothing to do with health.C. Healthy spouses will remain health after their marriage.D. There are a variety of socially mediated factors.4. How can money make good health?A. Money can buy health directly.B. Spouses can manage money income effectively.C. Money can provide spouses with goods and services, which is likely to make good health.D. Husbands and wives share everything.5. Which of the following is likely to make spouses in ill health?A. Positive interaction with relatives.B. Appropriate physical exercise.C. Few social networks.D. Nutritious food.IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.1. Don’t make a fuss about such a small thing bec ause that is the last thing I expected.2. Something shiny in the grass caught my eye.3. If you have not signed a contract, you are under no obligation to pay them any money.4. Will their good intentions become realities or hollow promises?5. The manufacturer will have to repair that watch free of charge - it's still under guarantee.V. Translate the following sentences into English.1. 有些父母选购神童故事给孩子看，希望孩子将来有一天会出人头地。
