E-mail is one of the biggest threats to your home computer. By understanding how E-mail works，and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages，you can keep this threat out of your computer. When you exchange E-mail with someone else，the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places. Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet "room"，a very，very big room. Anyone，or more exactly，any program can probably understand what is being said，because most Internet conversations are not hidden in any way. As a result，others may be listening in，capturing what you send，and using it for their own good.E-mail-borne viruses (病毒) often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something. By beautiful appearances，an infected (感染) E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know，not a mean virus ready to destroy or damage our computers.There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment (附件) that you receive. You should only read a message that passes all of these tests:1) The Know Test: Is the E-mail from someone that you know?2) The Received Test: Have you received E-mail from this sender before?3) The Expect Test: Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?4) The Meaning Test: Do the topic line of the E-mail message and the name of the attachment both have meanings?5) The Virus Test: Is the E-mail infected?(1)、The main idea of the first paragraph is that we should learn how E-mail works to take care of our computers. AA：TB：F(2)、The underlined word "capturing" probably mean "Taking". AA：TB：F(3)、As the Internet is open to anyone，we should not read and write messages in our home computers. BA：TB：F(4)、The passage is mainly talking about The Safety of Home Computers. AA：TB：F(5)、E-mail-borne viruses can infect human body. BA：TB：F2、My secret for staying young is simple. Put all attention to the part of your brain and keep it young and growing. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and stick to learning at least one new thing every day. No matter how old you are, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no knowledge before she made herself into a well-known engineer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly-paid dress designer. Get over the idea that you are too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honours and became a famous doctor. Another man went to law school at 71 and now was an active lawyer. Staying young is easy for those, old or young, who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active: that's the only way.(6)、According to the passage, that people's brain of all ages remains young and growing is__B__. A：impossibleB：a scientific factC：a secretD：a wrong conclusion(7)、It is wrong for the old to___A___.A：think himself too old to go back to schoolB：keep his mind awakeC：try to stay youngD：lead an active life(8)、The passage says that the man who entered college at 70 ___D____.A：was unthinkableB：became tired of his lifeC：wanted to be a highly-paid manD：became famous in the medical circle(9)、The only way to keep young is__D____.A：to go back to schoolB：not to consider one's ageC：to live in the futureD：to keep one's mind awake and alive(10)、The writer suggests that you should __C___learning at least one new thing every day.A：take care ofB：set outC：keep onD：turn to3、When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry was the most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs.But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as "I'm studying now" or "I've got some jobs to do for Mum". When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a "Hi, kid", but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family's car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn't understand what was so great about girls and parties.But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn't really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I'm over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.(11)、When the writer and Jerry first met, Jerry was ___B___. A：10 years oldB：5 years older than the writerC：of the same age as the writerD：the writer's classmate(12)、Their friendship lasted for __C____.A：a few yearsB：a few weeksC：a few monthsD：a few hours(13)、Jerry stopped playing with the writer because __D____.A：the writer had changedB：he was busy with his studyC：he has some jobs to doD：he was not interested in the writer(14)、When a change came in their friendship, the writer __B____. A：accepted it at onceB：couldn't understand his friend for a long timeC：stopped visiting his friendD：started going to parties with girls(15)、The main idea of the passage is that __A____.A：the age difference plays a part in friendshipB：friendship is the most important thing for childrenC：many boys and girls have a similar experience as the writer D："friends are made in wine and tested in tears"三、词汇与语法（10％）1、____D_____her and then try to copy what she does.A：MindB：SeeC：Stare at2、Don't ____D____ your study. We are going to help you.A. worryB. be afraidC. be worriedD. worry about3、It's ___C_____ that he was wrong.A. clearlyB. clarityC. clearD. clearing4、The patients are quite ___D___ to the nurses for their special care.A. enjoyableB. helpfulC. confidentD. grateful5、It is ____A___ for people to feel excited when they start doing something new.A. normalB. ordinaryC. averageD .regular四、完型填空（10％）Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year.

Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do nothave enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All edu cators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.11. In the past, many young people ______.A. knew the effects of warB. went in for politicsC. liked to save the wounded in warsD. were willing to be soldiers12. Now with TV people can _____.A. discuss politics at an information centerB. show more interest in politicsC. make their own decisions on political affairsD. express their opinions freely13. The author thinks that TV advertisements _____.A. are not reliable on the wholeB. are useless to peopleC. are a good guide to adultsD. are very harmful to the young14. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. People have become used to crimes now.B. With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.C. People now like to read books with pictures.D. The adults are less violent than the young.15. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.A. children should keep away from TV programs should be improvedC. children’s books should have picturesD. TV has a deep influence on the youngPassage 2Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater dis tance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The “eye contact” provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is bet ween people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.16. According to the passage, nonverbal communication _____.A. is a method often used by people who cannot speakB. can tell something that words cannotC. can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD. is less used than words17. The South American _____.A. tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking toB. usually stands close to the person he is talking toC. is often unfriendly when spoken toD. is often cold and distant when speaking18. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Less eye contact suggests distance in relation.B. The longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.C. There is more eye contact between people who like each other.D. Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.19. Too long a gaze _____.A. may upset people being looked atB. shows one’s great confidenceC. indicates one’s interest in the talkD. tells you how friendly one is20. Constant smiling without apparent reason _____.A. is a sign of one’s friendlinessB. is a sign of one’s unfriendlinessC. makes people feel happyD. makes people feel uncomfortablePassage 3My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it and I washed alot of things.Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day.When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar!They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this.I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!"Good heavens," I said. "Will someone please tell me what is so funny?""Oh, God," said the teacher. "You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt!"So that's how I found my husband's missing sock."Oh, well," I said to the class. "Let's just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static (静止的) electricity."A：T21．The writer was a teacher.A：T22．When the writer turned around to write on the blackboard, the class began to laugh loudly.

大学英语（三）-2习题及答案一、阅读理解April Fool’s Day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool’s errands（差事）, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of thistradition was in 1582, in France. New Year was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year’s Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560’s by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those peoplewere called April Fools.Tricks performed on April Fool’s Day range from the simple to th eelaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock back an hour is common. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film onceshown on April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documentary about“spaghetti farmers” and how they harvest thei r crop from the spaghettitrees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to hisvictim, “April Fool!” April Fool’s Day is a “for-fun-only” observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their “significant other” out to eat in afancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun littleholiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant（警惕的）, for he may be the next April Fool!Each country celebrates April Fool’s differently. In France, the April Fool’s is called “April Fish”. The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends’ backs. In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. Ifa trick is played on you, you are a “noodle”.（4.0 分）1. April Fool’s Day was first celeb rated in_________.A．EnglandB．AmericaC．FranceD．Rome得分：4（4.0 分）2.

It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There is neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/N Y as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OFT (=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or joining the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got t o go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals.（4.0 分）6.

The adults are less violent than the young.15. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.A. children should keep away from TVprograms should be improvedC. children’s books should have picturesD. TV has a deep influence on the youngPassage 2Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The “eye contact” provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people wh o don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.16-20 BBDAD16. According to the passage, nonverbal communication _____.A. is a method often used by people who cannot speakB. can tell something that words cannotC. can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD. is less used than words17.

There is more eye contact between people who like each other.D. Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.19. Too long a gaze _____.A. may upset people being looked atB. shows one’s great confidenceC. indicates one’s interest in the talkD. tells you how friendly one is20. Constant smiling without apparent reason _____.A. is a sign of one’s friendlinessB. is a sign of one’s unfriendlinessC. makes people feel happyD. makes people feel uncomfortablePassage 3My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it and I washed a lot of things.Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar!They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this.I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more.Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!"Good heavens," I said. "Will someone please tell me what is so funny?""Oh, God," said the teacher. "You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt!" So that's how I found my husband's missing sock."Oh, well," I said to the class. "Let's just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static (静止的) electricity."21-25 AABAB21．The writer was a teacher.A：TB：F22．When the writer turned around to write on the blackboard, the class began to laugh loudly.A：TB：F23．She couldn't find one of her husband's socks, because her husband had taken it away.

⼤学英语（三）-2习题及答案⼤学英语（三）-2习题及答案⼀、阅读理解April Fool’s Day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool’s errands（差事）, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of thistradition was in 1582, in France. New Year was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year’s Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560’s by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those peoplewere called April Fools.Tricks performed on April Fool’s Day range from the simple to th eelaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock back an hour is common. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film onceshown on April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documentary about“spaghetti farmers” and how they harvest thei r crop from the spaghettitrees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to hisvictim, “April Fool!” April Fool’s Day is a “for-fun-only” observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their “significant other” out to eat in afancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun littleholiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant（警惕的）, for he may be the next April Fool!Each country celebrates April Fool’s differently. In France, the April Fool’s is called “April Fish”. The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends’ backs. In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. Ifa trick is played on you, you are a “noodle”.（4.0 分）1. April Fool’s Day was first celeb rated in_________.A．EnglandB．AmericaC．FranceD．Rome得分：4（4.0 分）2.

It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There is neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/N Y as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OFT (=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or joining the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got t o go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals.（4.0 分）6.

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words) 31. Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.( B)A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. If we complete the short-term goalsC. If we have dreams of the futureD. If we put forward some plans32. New short-term goals are built upon ____________.

(C)A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we should build up confidence of successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals34. What is the main idea of this passage? ____________ (C)A Life is a dynamic thing. B. we should set up long-term goalsC. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.35. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ____________ (C)A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goalsB. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.Passage two 英法既爱又恨的关系Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac spea king out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥抱）, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. Howev er, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys（调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years o f ―doubtful friendship‖, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.36. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________. (D)A. friendlyB. impoliteC. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate37. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain. (D)A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm38. The British are not so friendly to __( A)______ and the French are not so friendly to _ ( A)_____.A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America39. ____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________. (D)A. American people…BritainB. British people … GermanyC. French people … BritainD. British people … France40. What does the last sentence mean? (C)A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.Passage 3 社区服务是我们大学中一个重要的组成部分Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors —he’ll be available to h elp you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week. (220 words)41. What is the purpose of the talk? ____________( B)A. To explain a new requirement for graduation.B. To interest students in a new community program.C. To discuss the problems of elementary school students.D.

Graduated students.Passage FourMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering an d doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. （292 words）46. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ( B)A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.47. With the same money needed for (C) , one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden48. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______ has been rewarded. ( B)A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the gardenC. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering49. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London. ( A)A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life50.

Some of it is subtle and unspoken, but nearly everyone is commpeting 61 for budgets, opportunities, customers. And then there's competition for promotions62 , time with important colleagues, fame, recognition, bigger 63 salaries, and, of course, power. But the very fact that64 some people do plot and scheme at work illustrates65 one of the truths of politicking (职场政治活动)– that it delivers results 66 .Here's another home truth – politicking happens whether 67 you like it or not. Sadly there are limited opportunities 68 in the world of work and, more often 69 than not, if you think you can succeed 70 without getting political, you need to wake up.VI．Cloze (统考新题型) 71.D 72.A 73.B 74.E 75.CMany people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, on 71 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 72 of stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us under 73 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 74 on more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to accept 75 our limitations.

Young men will never again go to war asthey did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see andhear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television’ s influence has been extremely toharmfultheyoung. Children do notB. alteredA. dominatedC. talentedhave enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie tosell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normaland acceptable. All educators agree that the “ television generations are” more violent than theirparents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting,they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking;to listen to a teacher who doesn’ t do funny things like the people on children’ s pr expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’ s the screen.11.In the past, many young people ______.A. knew the effects of warB. went in for politicsC. liked to save the wounded in warsD. were willing to be soldiers12. Now with TV people can _____.A. discuss politics at an information centerB. show more interest in politicsC. make their own decisions on political affairsD. express their opinions freely13.The author thinks that TV advertisements _____.A. are not reliable on the wholeB. are useless to peopleC. are a good guide to adultsD. are very harmful to the young14.Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. People have become used to crimes now.B. With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.C. People now like to read books with pictures.D. The adults are less violent than the young.15.From the passage, we can conclude that _____.A. children should keep away from TV programs should be improvedC. children’ s books should have picturesD. TV has a deep influence on the youngPassage2Nonverbal ( 非语言的 ) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of twopeople when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on havemeaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be “ cold or”“ distant” because he keeps a greatertancedis between himself and the person he is speaking to . The “ eye contact” provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there isbetween people who don ’ t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can oftenbe seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.16.According to the passage, nonverbal communication _____.A. is a method often used by people who cannot speakB. can tell something that words cannotC. can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD. is less used than words17. The South American _____.A. tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking toB. usually stands close to the person he is talking toC. is often unfriendly when spoken toD. is often cold and distant when speaking18. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Less eye contact suggests distance in relation.B. The longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.C. There is more eye contact between people who like each other.D. Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.19. Too long a gaze _____.A. may upset people being looked atB. shows one’ s great confidenceC. indicates one’ s interest in the talkD. tells you how friendly one is20. Constant smiling without apparent reason _____.A. is a sign of one’ s friendlinessB. is a sign of one’ s unfriendlinessC. makes people feel happyD. makes people feel uncomfortablePassage 3My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it and I washed alot of things.Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywherefor it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day.When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar!They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this.I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!"Good heavens," I said. "Will someone please tell me what is so funny?""Oh, God," said the teacher. "You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt!"So that's how I found my husband's missing sock."Oh, well," I said to the class.

A typical course consists of three classes per weekfor fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student will probably attend four or fivecourses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four yearsattending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for thedegree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and therecord is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this is imposespressure from the strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for greatactivity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse muchenthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed exampleby cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students,the operation of the systemdoes involve a certain amount of activity. A student who hasheld one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to himor her in his or her career.11. Normally a student would at least attend ____B______ classes each week.A) 10 B) 12 C) 15 D) 2012.

The studentorganizationseem to be effective in _____B______.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students, performance by bringing them before a courtD) keeping up the students, enthusiasm for socialactivitiesPassage 2You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a bloodtransfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special careshould be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from yourown , the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indicate aperson’s blood type, which, like hair and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfusedcarefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB mayreceive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence it is often called the universal donor.For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt orplasma(liquid)until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank ofa hospital. In his way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. AmongEuropeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. Forexample, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.16.A good title for this passage is___C_______A) Getting Blood and Plasma B)Special Blood TypesC) Human Blood TypesD)The Blood Bank of a Hospital17. The word “ hence” in line 8 means___C______A) always B) often C) therefore D) seldom18. In a blood transfusion, it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a personwith the blood type of ____C___.A) A B) B C) AB D) O19. The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allowtime____B____.A) to test the reactions to the transfusionB) for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient’s blood.C) for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD) to select a new type of blood for the patient20. Most European have blood type_____D____A) A B)B C) OD) A or OPassage 3An old woman walked into a clothes shop.

The oldwoman spoke to the girl again, raising her voice a bit, but still received no answer. The old womanlooked at the girl and said to herself: "I am too old to see well, I can't even tell a plastic model from areal girl!"On hearing this the rude salesgirl shouted at the old woman, "What?

第2次作业一、阅读理解（本大题共100分，共5小题，每小题20分） 1.Prehistoric men and women enjoyed a more varied diet than people do now, since they ate species of plant and several hundreds thousands types of living things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever domesticated. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The food of the rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is speedily distributed in supermarkets. But the choice annually becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves become more standardized. We live in theworld of carrot specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of weighting tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis asks: "Only the three major cereals (谷物类食物)and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species stand between famine and survival for the world" s human population and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: Are we missing something?” After all, there are 800 000 species of plant on earth.(1). Tn prehistoric times people.A.ate much more than we do todayB.lived mainly on plant foodC.had a wide-ranging dietD.were more fussy about what they ate(2).Most of us have come to expectA.no variation in our dietB. a reduction in food suppliesC. a specialist dietD.food conforming to a set standard(3). The specialization of food was started byA .B . the emergence of supermarkets the rise of agriculture the rich countries the modern shops （4）.According to the passage, people in the West today survive on.A.carrots and tomatoesB.several thousand types of plants and cerealsc.a very small number of cultivated foodsD. special species planted one thousand years ago（5）. The conclusion seems to be that we.A.could make use of more natural speciesB.don't cultivate the right kind of foodc.produce more food than we needD.cultivate too many different species2.human body is distributed （分布）in two different ways. Some fat people have a large chest and no waistline（腰身），looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking more like pears.Doctors in Cambridge, England have been examining the relationship between health and fat （脂肪）distribution. They find that the pear- shaped fat people have fewer problems than the apple-shaped fat people. What seems to be most important is not how much fat you have but where you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped women and peai，--shaped women with X-ray scanners （X 光扫描器）.Human beingshave two types of fat:one is outside fat, that is the fat below the skin, and the other is inside fat that lies inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the “apples” have a large amoun t of inside fat.Tf this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it wi11 probably cause heal th problems such as obesi ty (月巴月半症). The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment (饮食疗法)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.(1).According to the relation between heal th and fatnessA.apple-shaped fat people have fewer problems than pear-shaped peopleB.it' s better to be apple-shaped than to be pear-shapedc.it' s better to be pear-shaped than to be apple-shapedD. fatness is the most dangerous enemy to health(2). The most important thing about fat people seems to beA.the amount of fat they haveB.the knowledge of which typo of the fat people they belong toC.the amount of the outside fat they haveD.the place where they have the fat(3).The basic reason why some people suffer from obesity is that •A.they take very little exercise every dayB.they have much more inside fat than is neededc.they are examined by X-ray scanners quite oftenD.they eat too much(4).According to what is mentioned in the passage, the best treatment for obesity at present is .A.to reduce the amount of food and drinksB.to make the body shape smallerC.already known to those people in troubleD.still to be found.3.University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food."Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and thendon't real ize that waste of edible （可食用的）foods adds up much moreat homo," said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who metin Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a costof $4. 5 billion per year. That" s almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.Ilis theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted.
