When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. Finally, when the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 11 to 20 with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. (10 points)A final common thread in philosophical (11)___ of friendship is shared activity. The background intuition is this: never to share activity with someone and in this way to (12)___ with him is not to have the kind of relationship with him that could be called friendship, even if you each care for the other for his sake. Rather, friends (13)___ in joint pursuits, in part motivated by the friendship itself. These joint pursuits can (14)___ not only such things as making something together, playing together, and talking together, but also pursuits that essentially involve shared experiences, such as going to the opera together. Yet for these pursuits to be properly shared in the (15)___ sense of "share", they cannot involve activities motivated simply by self interest: by, for example, the thought that I'll help you build your (16)___ today if you later help me paint my house. Rather, the activity must be (17)___ in part for the purpose of doing it together with my friend, and this is the point of saying that (18)___. This raises the following questions: (19)___, and what is it about friendship that makes shared activity so central to it? The common answer to this second question (which helps pin down an answer to the first) is that shared activity is important (20)___ that is characteristic of friendship as such, and the "shared" pursuit of such shared interests is therefore an important part of friendship.11.accounts12.interact13.engage14. include15. relevant16.fence17. pursued18. the shared activity must be motivated, at least in part, by the friendship itself.19.in what sense can such activity be said to be "shared,"20. because friends normally have shared interests as a part of the intimacyReading ComprehensionDirections:There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)Passage OneImagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless worldwould lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies(敌人), there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive(激情) to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind. For as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them. In such a world, the chances that the human species(种、类)would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize(分类)objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits(激发)our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty (忠诚), morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed; in order to maintain itself it gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.21. The reason why people might not be able to stay alive in a world without emotion is that __B_____.A. they would not be able to tell the texture of objectsB. they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to themC. they would not be happy with a life without loveD. they would do things that hurt each other's feelings22. According to the passage, people's learning activities are possible because they ___C____.A. believe that emotions are fundamental for them to stay aliveB. benefit from providing help and support to one anotherC. enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thingD. know what is vital to the progress of society23. It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on _____C__.A. the ability to make moneyB. the will to work for pleasureC. the capacity to enjoy incentives(刺激)D. the categorizations of our emotional experiences4. Emotions are significant(重要的) for man's survival(生存) and adaptation(适应) because ___B___.A. they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objectsB. they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintainedC. they encourage people to perform dangerous achievementsD. they generate more love than hate among people25. The emotional aspects(方面) of an object are more important than its physical aspects in that they ______D_.A. help society exploit(剥削) its members for profitB. encourage us to perform important tasksC. help to perfect the legal and penal(刑罚的) systemD. help us adapt our behavior to the world surrounding us Passage TwoSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the website you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permisson? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen — the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no".When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survery found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Socail Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠卷).But privacy does matter — at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.26. What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked" (the underlined part in Para. 2)? AA. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.27. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? CA. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.28. Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret" (the underlined part in Para. 3)? BA. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.D. Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities.29. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection? DA. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C. They rely more and more on electronic devices.D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.30. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ___.DA. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don't cherish it until they lose itVocabulary and StructureDirections: Each of the following sentences is provided with four choices.

The backgroundintuition is this: never to share activity with someone and in this way to interact with him is not to have the kind of relationship with him that could be called friendship, even if you each care for the other for his sake. Rather, friends engage in joint pursuits, in part motivated by the friendship itself.These joint pursuits can include not only such things as making something together, playing together, and talking together, but also pursuits that essentially involve shared experiences, such as going to the opera together. Yet for these pursuits to be properly shared in the relevant sense of "share," they cannot involve activities motivated simply by self interest: by, for example, the thought that I'll help you build your fence today if you later help me paint my house. Rather, the activity must be pursued in part for the purpose of doing it together with my friend, and this is the point of saying that the shared activity must be motivated, at least in part, by the friendship itself.This raises the following questions: in what sense can such activity be said to be "shared," and what is it about friendship that makes shared activity so central to it? The common answer to this second question (which helps pin down an answer to the first) is that shared activity is important because friends normally have shared interests as a part of the intimacy that is characteristic of friendship as such, and the "shared" pursuit of such shared interests is therefore an important part of friendship.。

But with proper preparation, you may minimize the costs of this extraordinary opportunity; visit our Financing page to learn more about paying for tuition. In this section, we explore money matters that you may encounter on a daily basis during your adventure in the States.As with any country, it is not advisable to carry large amounts of cash around with you. There are other options such as credit cards or traveler's checks, which are all valid forms with which to pay for things in the U.S.Traveler's checks are one of the safest and easiest ways to transport money, because you may have them replaced if they get lost or stolen. If you choose to carry traveler's checks with you from your home country to the States, be sure they are denominated in U.S. funds. Most businesses—except taxi drivers and public transportation personnel—will accept U.S.-denominated traveler's checks during regular business hours, typically between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. It is wise to bring about $100 with you in U.S. cash, so you will be able to manage upon your arrival in the States.ScriptMany people wonder why some students can get straight A's, and here Professor Wilson tells us what some of his top students do.They take good notes in class. Jones, a super-achiever, says, "Reading the textbook is important, but the teachers are going to test you on what they emphasize in class. That's what you find in your notes."The top students also take notes while reading the text assignment. In fact, Jack Smith of Ohio State University uses his "home-made" system, in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the teacher's lecture on the other. Then he is able to review both aspects of the assignment at the same time.Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But Anderson uses those few minutes to write a two- or three-sentence summary of the lesson's principal points, which he scans before the next day's class.Good students schedule their time. When a teacher assigns a long paper, Lewis draws up a timetable, dividing the project into small pieces, so it isn't so hard. "It's like eating a steak," she says. "You chew it one bite at a time."To get good marks, one also has to speak up in class. "If I don't understand the principle that my teacher is explaining in economics, I ask him to repeat it," says Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though. It's a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.。

Unit1Working Holiday AbroadKey to ExercisesOpenerGoing on a working holiday has many advantages:•A working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa.•The travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment.•You can try different types of jobs,even the ones that you normally wouldn’t do when at home. And in this sense,a working holiday could be a life-changing experience.•You are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals,not just other tourists.They can introduce you to a new culture.•A working holiday makes a good break.A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is the break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world.Transcript:A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up.You are able to pick up a job or two(or6)and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country.In general,a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa.In Australia,for example,the typical tourist visa is for3months while a working holiday visa is for12months.With a working holiday visa,you can work as you go,meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad.Your method of travel may vary.Some prefer to travelup-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two differentlocations.Others prefer to work for a month,travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way,the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment.With a working holiday visa,you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of job,and you are probably put in a position to accept ones that you normally wouldn’t when at home.You never know what you might discover.A working holiday,in this sense,could end up being a life-changing experience.Moreover,by taking up employment in a country abroad,you are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals,not just other tourists,and that can do wonders for really introducing you to a new culture.A working holiday also makes a good break.A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is that break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working ter working holiday experiences are often used by individuals as a way to explore the new and unknown.Taking part in a working holiday is a great idea to

Online HomeWork_U1B3I. Reading ComprehensionSection A Fast ReadingBack in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Just to keep food on the table for the family members, the father worked almost eighteen hours a day. Two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children, Albrecht and Albert, wanted to pursue talent for art, but they knew that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the academy.After many discussions, the two boys decided to toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the coin toss completed his studies, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with the sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines.They tossed a coin after coming back from church on a Sunday morning. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and financed his brother, whose work at the academy was an almost immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings (版画), woodcuts (木刻画) and oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works.When Albrecht Durer returned to his village, the family held a big dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. He said, “Albert, now it is your turn to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”Albert rose and glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and said softly, “No, brother. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布) with a brush.”By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, sketches and woodcuts hang in every great museum in the world, but most people are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office.To pay homage to Albert, Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his drawing “Hands,” but the entire world immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and named it “The Praying Hands.”Statements based on the passage:T 1. The father of Durer family could not afford any child’s study at the academy.F 2. Albrecht and Albert had to toss a coin to decide who should go to the academy, because one of them had to stay at home and help their father.F 3. Before deciding to toss a coin, Albrecht and Albert had many discussions with their father.T 4. Albrecht achieved great success at the academy, and his works were even better than most of his professors’.F 5. Albrecht decided to support Albert’s study at the academy with the sales of his artwork and by laboring in the mines.F 6. Albert said it was too late for him to go to the academy because he was no longer interested in art after working in the mines for many years.F 7. Although Albrecht had many masterful portraits, only one of them has received popular recognition.T 8. Among Albrecht’s works, “Hands” is the one which is reproduced most.T 9. Albrecht created “Hands” in order to show respect and honor for his brother Albert.F 10. People renamed Albrecht’s drawing “The Praying Hands” because they just wanted to pay homage to his great achievement.Section B Passage ReadingPassage 1Valentine’s Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia(牧神节). It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls’ names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia.In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men may not marry. Valentinus (Valentine), a Christian priest, defied the emperor and got married in secret. He was caught and executed on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor him as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valentine’s Day ever since.In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves for a week. Today we still sometimes “wear our hearts on our sleeves” when we cannot conceal our feelings.In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the “language of flowers”. This came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance--a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine’s Day ever since.D 11. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The custom of Valentine’s Day.B. A story about how Valentinus defied the emperor.C. The relationship between marriage and religion.D. The origin of Valentine’s Day.B 12. Young soldiers were not allowed to marry because the emperor was afraid that ______.A. they would associate with St. ValentineB. they wouldn’t concentrate on their jobC. they would defy the emperor’s orderD. they were too young to marryC 13. What does the word “defied” (underlined in Paragraph 2) probably mean?A. Followed.B. Tried to cheat.C. Refused to obey.D. Condemned.B 14. The day February 14 has been St. Valentine’s day since ______.A. 260 ADB. 496 ADC. the founding of RomeD. the Middle AgesB 15. According to Paragraph 3, what does the phrase “wear our hearts on our sleeves” mean?A. To hide our true feelings.B. To show our true feelings openly.C. To demonstrate our love.D. To keep our feelings in our mind.Passage 2In Africa and Asia there is a very serious disease called schistosomiasis (血吸虫病). It is caused by a tiny worm which can penetrate the skin of a human being and cause a potentially serious illness. The larvae (幼虫) of these worms live in certain types of snails. When they are ready, the larvae leave the snails and enter the bodies of men and animals.In many African rivers there is a large animal called a hippopotamus. It looks rather like an enormous sausage with short legs and a big mouth. Hippos spend much of their time in the river and they do not seem to serve any purpose. Because of this, some African governments ordered that the great animals should be shot on sight to provide meat for local people. When hunters killed most of the hippos in some areas, the number of cases of the disease increased rapidly. There were outbreaks of the disease in areas which had not previously experienced it. At first, the health authorities could not understand the reason why the disease had spread. They made investigations and discovered some very surprising facts.When they are in the water, hippos keep the muddy water in motion because they move about frequently. When they climb up on the river bank, they go in single file, making natural channels down which rain water can flow into the river. Without the hippos, mud gathered in the rivers and caused them to run over their banks. At the same time, rain water was unable to drain into the rivers easily, and this helped to produce floods. Certain types of water snail breed rapidly on flooded land, carrying with them the larvae which spread schistosomiasis.Now African governments are importing hippos so that Nature can do her work properly and keep the water snails under control. This is one example of what happens when Man interferes with the work of Nature.A 16. We know that a potentially serious illness is caused when ______.A. the skin of a human being is penetrated by a tiny wormB. the larvae of snails enter the bodies of human beingsC. human beings keep pet snailsD. human beings eat too much meat of hipposD 17. Why were hippos shot to death in Africa?A. Because they look like sausages with short legs and big mouth.B. Because some governments wanted to provide meat for local people.C. Because there were too many hippos in the river.D. Because they were considered useless.A 18. Why did schistosomiasis spread in some areas in Africa?A. Because many hippos were killed.B. Because there were too many channels in the river.C. Because the number of the larvae was increased.D. Because the water snails were kept under control.D 19. According to the passage, which of the following is true about African governments?A. They didn’t build enough channels to drain the floods.B. They couldn’t find out the connection between hippos and the spread of schistosomiasis.C. They are trying to kill water snails which carry the larvae with schistosomiasis.D. They are trying to control the spread of schistosomiasis in an eco-friendly way.C 20. Nature cannot do her work in a satisfactory way if ______.A. too many hippos are killedB. governments interfere with local peopleC. man interferes with the work of natureD. a disease spreadsSection C Reading in DepthIn the 1990s, everyone believed that education was the key to economic success. A college degree, even a postgraduate degree, was G for everyone who wanted a good job as one of those “symbolic analysts”.But computers are proficient at analyzing symbols; it is the messiness of the real world that they have trouble with. Therefore, many of the jobs that once required a college degree have been E . The others can be done by any intelligent person, whether or not he has studied literature.This trend should have been K in 1996, when “downsizing”suddenly became news. Because, for the first time, white-collar, college-educated workers were being fired in large J , even while skilled mechanists and other blue-collar workers were in great D. This should have signaled that the days of the ever-rising wage premiums for people with higher education were over.Eventually, the eroding payoff of higher education created a C in education itself. Why should a student put himself through four years of college and several years of postgraduate work to A academic credentials with little monetary value? Nowadays, jobs that require only 6 or 12 months of vocational training pay nearly as much as if not more than a job that requires a master’s degree, and pay more than one requiring a Ph.D.So F in colleges and universities has dropped almost two-thirds since its peak at the turn of this century. Today a place like Harvard is, as it was in the 19th century, more of a social institution than a O one--a place for children of the wealthy to M their social graces and befriend others of their class.II.

But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Finding the Best SummarySample:Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself "All of you". When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome, and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky, "For whom have you prepared all this feast?" The man replied: "For all of you." So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the Story(略)4. Taking SidesSample:1) I don't admire Tortoise's cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid . When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was eaten by Tortoise.

Once she could not even pick up the phone bill and had to ask her parents to loan her some money.Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time.She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.Recent Changes in Chinese Family Life (Model paper) Great changes have taken place in Chinese family life in the past twenty years. In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better. (194 words)。
Pre-reading ActivitiesMy brother does not sweat the life he could never have. Instead he focuses on what he can do — to love. For many, if not all of us these days, it is a constant struggle to get somewhere in life. There is just so much to learn, so much is changing every day, that I hardly have time to breathe, let alone love and care about the people around me. My brother though, always makes it his first priority.He never got the chance to go to a regular school or compete for a decent job; unfortunately, he was born with some brain damage making learning a challenge. He never had trouble learning how to love, though. And he knows how to teach others to love as well.1.Because he was born with brain damage and learning was a challengefor him.2.He made love his first priority because he never had trouble learninghow to love.3.(open –ended.)Comprehension of the TextI.1.He did not get enough oxygen when he was born.2.She described her father as a saint.3.They were inseparable, almost doing everything together.4.He was changed almost completely.5.He blossomed on his own and became essential to the neighborhood.6.She thought that caring for Jimmy has enriched her life more than anything else ever could have.7.She hoped that their coming would help make the party a merry and festive occasion.8.They were reminded that the constant love and support of friends and family would get them through whatever life might present.VocabularyUnit 1III.1 beneath2 disguised3 whistles4 restrain5 grasp6 longing7 praying8 faithful 9 pledge 10 drainIV.1 tell (our teacher)on you2 track down3 work it out4 picking on me5 reckoned with6 call on7 on his own8 get through9 in disguise 10 revolves aroundVG O D I K L B F A NCollocationVI1 advise2 level3 problems4 necessity5 skills6 experience7 solution8 value 9 tool 10 mannerPlease note that all the collocations of the adjective practical with advice, level, problems, etc. have already appeared in our previous books or some files for our web course.

We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes.We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity.1.Which people are having trouble with language?A. Natives.B. People of the 2nd generation.C. People when born.D. Immigrants.2.Why are children ignoring their parents?A. Children have lost their identity.B. Parents cause children to suffer.C. They speak different languages.D. They have different job levels.3.The author's aunt taught Korean ________.A. so she could preserve her languageB. so she would have a job in AmericaC. to help children succeed in their new countryD. to help children keep their Korean identity4.The author's cousins felt ________.A. they were not similar to people in KoreaB. they could not get a job in AmericaC. it was all right to look and feel differentD. it was important to keep their identity5. A proper title for this passage is ________.A. The Identity of the Second GenerationB. Korean Problems in AmericaC. Learning a New Language in the USD. Keeping Your Culture in a New LandQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Two similar-sounding English words caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty minutes, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. "Is this plane going to Oakland?" he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. "No," she said. "We're going to Auckland-Auckland, New Zealand."English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometimes it's hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. "Oh well," the man later said, "I always wanted to see New Zealand."6.The main topic of this passage is ________.A. mistakes made by people in airportsB. troubles experienced by foreigners in a new countryC. difficulties had by people when taking a planeD. problems caused by words that sound alike7.She told him the plane would arrive in ________.A. OaklandB. AucklandC. Los AngelesD. California8.The man realized something was wrong when ________.A. he landed in Oakland, CaliforniaB. he saw that the flight attendant was shockedC. he noticed the direction of the planeD. he walked up to the gate9.The sentence "Oh well, I always wanted to see New Zealand."reflects ________.A. the man's sense of humorB. the man's frustrationC. the man's disappointmentD. the man's despair10.According to the passage one proper way to deal with amistake caused by similar-sounding words is ________.A. to have a sharp earB. to learn a good pronunciationC. to speak clearly and slowlyD. to laugh and learn from itQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.Yinlan looked at the people sitting around the table and smiled with satisfaction. Everyone in her family was there—her children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandson, just one month old. Her whole family had come to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival(节日).Two days after the Harvest Moon Festival, Yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. Her family was sad but at the same time grateful. They felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died just two days after the holiday.Actually, the timing of Yinlan's death was not remarkable at all. Recently sociologists (社会学家) studied the death rate among elderly Chinese women in California. They discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35 percent. Sociologists believe that these changes in death rate show the mind's power over the body. The Harvest Moon Festival, when families gather, is important to elderly Chinese women. Apparently some women are able to postpone (推延) their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last time.The idea that people can postpone the time of their deaths is not new. Many families tell stories of a relative who held on to life until after an important event. The stories people tell, however, are just that: stories. They are not proof that people can postpone their deaths. The sociologists' work is important because the sociologists studied facts, not stories. The facts—the drop and rise in death rates—prove that people really can postpone their deaths.11.When did Yilan die?A. During the Harvest Moon Festival.B. Before going to sleep.C. Just before the Harvest Moon Festival.D. A couple days after the Harvest Moon Festival.12.The writer tells us the story of Yilan to let us know that_________.A. the Harvest Moon Festival is important to elderly Chinese womenB. Chinese families get together to enjoy the Harvest Moon FestivalC. families are often sad during the Harvest Moon FestivalD. people may be able to put off death for an important event Array13.Where did the study take place?A. China.B. Yilan's home.C. Festival grounds.D. California.14.What does the author describe as "not new"?A. The work of sociologists.B. Proof of postponing death.C. The Harvest Moon Festival.D. Stories of putting off death.15.What provides us with proof?A. The stories of family members.B. The numbers showing death rates.C. The important events.D. The postponing of death.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.Today's trumpet (喇叭,小号) is one of the world's oldest instruments. It is the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like the ones of old days, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes (管) They are all blown. And they all use the player's lips to produce their basic sound. The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material, and method of construction. Theywanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful andattractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music, and in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this magnificent instrument.The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. There are cornets (短号), bugles (军号), flugelhorns (粗管短号), and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.16.How do trumpets all resemble each other?A. They require the same force when blowing them.B. They make the same sound when playing them.C. They use a player's lips to make a sound.D. They have the same size of hollow tube.17.Why did players and makers want to improve the trumpet?A. They wanted an instrument that'd be easy to play.B. They wanted an instrument to play easy music.C. They wanted an instrument of different sizes.D. They wanted an instrument that looked attractive.18.What is the trumpet the leading member of?A. Trumpet family instruments.。

Although her parents persuaded her that she’d better not run such a risk on impulse, or she might generate lots of debts in the end, she still couldn’t resist the temptation and held it firmly that she could make it.With a great determination to succeed, she set about establishing her own business. But everything is difficult at the start. Before long, she was nagged by lack of sufficient capital. To avoid a budget deficit, she was obliged to cut back on her expenses in all aspects. Had it not been for the timely help from her parents and friends at that time, she would not have propped up the perilous situation.A year passed by, Olivia had finally got through the most difficult phase and her business began to make a profit. When looking forward to the future, she is full of confidence because she believes things will eventually sort themselves out.Section B1.阻止孩子们学抽烟应该比劝说大人们改掉一度养成的抽烟的习惯要容易得多,但事实上这却被证明是很难的。

Online HomeWork_U1B3I. Reading ComprehensionSection A Fast ReadingBack in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Just to keep food on the table for the family members, the father worked almost eighteen hours a day. Two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children, Albrecht and Albert, wanted to pursue talent for art, but they knew that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the academy.After many discussions, the two boys decided to toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the coin toss completed his studies, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with the sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines.They tossed a coin after coming back from church on a Sunday morning. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and financed his brother, whose work at the academy was an almost immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings (版画), woodcuts (木刻画) and oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works.When Albrecht Durer returned to his village, the family held a big dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. He said, “Albert, now it is your turn to goto Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”Albert rose and glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and said softly, “No, brother. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布) with a brush.”By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, sketches and woodcuts hang in every great museum in the world, but most people are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office.To pay homage to Albert, Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his drawing “Hands,”but the entire world immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and named it “The Praying Hands.”Statements based on the passage:T1. The father of Durer family could not afford any child’s study at the academy.F 2. Albrecht and Albert had to toss a coin to decide who should go to the academy, because one of them had to stay at home and help their father.F3. Before deciding to toss a coin, Albrecht and Albert had many discussions with their father.T 4. Albrecht achieved great success at the academy, and his works were even better than most of his professors’.F 5. Albrecht decided to support Albert’s study at the academy with the sales of his artwork and by laboring inthe mines.F6. Albert said it was too late for him to go to the academy because he was no longer interested in art after working in the mines for many years.F7. Although Albrecht had many masterful portraits, only one of them has received popular recognition.T 8. Among Albrecht’s works, “Hands” is the one which is reproduced most.T 9. Albrecht created “Hands” in order to show respect and honor for his brother Albert.F10. People renamed Albrecht’s drawing “The Praying Hands”because they just wanted to pay homage to his great achievement.Section B Passage ReadingPassage 1Valentine’s Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia(牧神节). It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls’names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia.In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men may not marry. Valentinus (Valentine), a Christian priest, defied the emperor and got married in secret. He was caught and executed on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor him as SaintValentine and it has been St. Valentine’s Day ever since.In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves for a week. Today we still sometimes “wear our hearts on our sleeves”when we cannot conceal our feelings.In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the “language of flowers”. This came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance--a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine’s Day ever since.D 11. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The custom of Valentine’s Day.B. A story about how Valentinus defied the emperor.C. The relationship between marriage and religion.D. The origin of Valentine’s Day.B12.

To keep our feelings in our mind.Passage 2In Africa and Asia there is a very serious disease called schistosomiasis (血吸虫病). It is caused by a tiny worm which can penetrate the skin of a human being and cause a potentially serious illness. The larvae (幼虫) of these worms live in certain types of snails. When they are ready, the larvae leave the snails and enter the bodies of men and animals.In many African rivers there is a large animal called a hippopotamus. It looks rather like an enormous sausage with short legs and a big mouth. Hippos spend much of their time in the river and they do not seem to serve any purpose. Because of this, some African governments ordered that the great animals should be shot on sight to provide meat for local people. When hunters killed most of the hippos in some areas, the number of cases of the disease increased rapidly. There were outbreaks of the disease in areas which had not previously experienced it. At first, the health authorities could not understand the reason why the disease had spread.They made investigations and discovered some very surprising facts.When they are in the water, hippos keep the muddy water in motion because they move about frequently. When they climb up on the river bank, they go in single file, making natural channels down which rain water can flow into the river. Without the hippos, mud gathered in the rivers and caused them to run over their banks. At the same time, rain water was unable to drain into the rivers easily, and this helped to produce floods. Certain types of water snail breed rapidly on flooded land, carrying with them the larvae which spread schistosomiasis.Now African governments are importing hippos so that Nature can do her work properly and keep the water snails under control. This is one example of what happens when Man interferes with the work of Nature.A 16. We know that a potentially serious illness is caused when ______.A. the skin of a human being is penetrated by a tiny wormB. the larvae of snails enter the bodies of human beingsC. human beings keep pet snailsD. human beings eat too much meat of hipposD 17. Why were hippos shot to death in Africa?A. Because they look like sausages with short legs and big mouth.B. Because some governments wanted to provide meat for local people.C. Because there were too many hippos in the river.D. Because they were considered useless.A18. Why did schistosomiasis spread in some areas in Africa?A. Because many hippos were killed.B. Because there were too many channels in the river.C. Because the number of the larvae was increased.D. Because the water snails were kept under control.D 19. According to the passage, which of the following is true about African governments?A. They didn’t build enough channels to drain the floods.B. They couldn’t find out the connection between hippos and the spread of schistosomiasis.C. They are trying to kill water snails which carry the larvae with schistosomiasis.D. They are trying to control the spread of schistosomiasis in an eco-friendly way.C 20. Nature cannot do her work in a satisfactory way if ______.A. too many hippos are killedB. governments interfere with local peopleC. man interferes with the work of natureD. a disease spreadsSection C Reading in DepthIn the 1990s, everyone believed that education was the key to economic success. A college degree, even a postgraduate degree, was G for everyone who wanted a good job as one of those “symbolic analysts”.But computers are proficient at analyzing symbols; it is the messiness of the real world that they have trouble with. Therefore, many of the jobs that once required a college degree have been E . The others can be done by any intelligent person, whether or not he has studied literature.This trend should have been K in 1996, when “downsizing”suddenly became news. Because, for the first time, white-collar, college-educated workers were beingfired in large J , even while skilled mechanists and other blue-collar workers were in great D . This should have signaled that the days of the ever-rising wage premiums for people with higher education were over.Eventually, the eroding payoff of higher education created a C in education itself. Why should a student put himself through four years of college and several years of postgraduate work to A academic credentials with little monetary value? Nowadays, jobs that require only 6 or 12 months of vocational training pay nearly as much as if not more than a job that requires a master’s degree, and pay more than one requiring a Ph.D.So F in colleges and universities has dropped almost two-thirds since its peak at the turn of this century. Today a place like Harvard is, as it was in the 19th century, more of a social institution than a O one--a place for children of the wealthy to M their social graces and befriend others of their class.II.
