Passage six

In recent years, more and more foreigners are involved in the teaching

programs of the United States. Both the advantages and the

disadvantages_1 of _using faculty (教师[总称]) from foreign countries _2 in_ teaching positions have to be _3 considered_, of course.

Some _12 concept_ of what is already in the minds of America students is _13 required_ by the foreign professor.

It isn't always known how to make _18 creative_ use of foreign faculty, especially at smaller colleges. This is

thought to be a _19 field_ where further study is called _20 for_ . The findings of such a study will be of value to colleges and universities with foreign faculty.

Passage Two

The oldest tone buildings in the world are world are the pyramids. hey have stood for nearly 5,000years, and it seems likely

they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of

2011年 入学英语资料 更新班

which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Bent” pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done

when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids. and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever.

It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of

the pyramids because the plans of other large work have fortunately been preserved. How ever, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids them selves. Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologist have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful

planning before they could begin to build. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a

2011年 入学英语资料 更新班

pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.

The step pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile; the

side on which the sun set. This was for religious reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point, Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finglly, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king’s palace so that he could visit it and personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.

1. One of the reasons why some pyramids remain well preserved is A. people have taken good care of them

B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt

C. they have been buried in sand

D. the Egyptian government has protected them form harm

2. Most of the damage to the pyramids has caused by A . the weather

B. people searching for gold

2011年 入学英语资料 更新班

C. the Nile River

D. people in search of building materials

3. We can guess how the pyramids were built because archaeologists have A .studied them and the tools used to built them

B. found the plans of some of them

C. found paintings showing each stage of construction

D. found descriptions of how some were built

4. What, according to the writer, is the “one thing that is certain”

A . Pyramids required extensive planning

B. A pyramid’s site was not chosen with care

C. We know nothing else about the building of Pyramids

D. Pyramids posed many difficult problems

5. Why did the Egyptians build the pyramids along the bank of the Nile?

A . This must have been for religious reasons.

B. It was difficult problems to find large rock bases far from the river

C. Pyramids has to be built on the west side of the Nile

D. The river helped a lot in the transportations of building materials.

Passage Four

The Last Supper is regarded as one of the supreme masterpieces in

the whole field of pictorial art．Tradition has it that Leonardo da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting，the monks in the church fretting at the delay．it was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without eating his meals. But at other times he spent hours before the picture，lost in contemplation，examining，comparing，and gauging his figures．

This inactivity roused the indignation of the fussy Prior, the head of

the church，who belonged to the large group of those who believe that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle painter．Leonardo was slightly incensed and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason. The creative artist needs time for contemplation；he may be busiest when his hands are idlest．Just now he needed two heads to complete the picture; that of Christ，for which no model on earth could be found，for where was the man to be found whose face would express the strength，and beauty, and tenderness，and the sorrow of the Christ; then he also needed a head of Judas，and that was hard to find as well，for where was the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor. But he would look no further, if none came his way,he would be satisfied to take the Prior as a model for Judas，This

Passage Seven

Have you ever stood in front Of a large group of people and had to speak or perform？some people perform in front of an audience every single day. They are the professional entertainers and their work is not always easy．

Passage Ten

In the United States today, nearly halt of us live In areas that we refer to as the suburbs．Any dictionary will define the suburbs as those areas。usually residential，that lie outside cities and towns．But，for millions of Americans in the last thirty years、the suburbs have come to mean much more than that．

For those who moved to the developing suburbs alter the Second World war they represented an escape from urban congestion to a home of ones own--preferably one with an attached two－car garage---on a little half－acre of tree－shaped land．It also meant dally commutation to work by railroad or expressway，a lawn to mow and a mortgage to pay off over the years．

Nobody approves of life in the suburbs but the people who live there Urban critics argue that suburbanites enjoy all the cultural，educational，and commercial advantages that cities offer without paying for them．Farmers Worry about losing their farms to uncontrolled suburban sprawl．The suburbs have also been criticized for the monotonous sameness of their design and for their ability to insulate their inhabitants

2011年 入学英语资料 更新班

from the problems of the larger society In which they live．

On the other hand，defenders of the suburbs argue that the life－style that they offer is more varied and more Inclusive than the critics admit：there are many different kinds of suburbs and a variety of people living in them．While the development of the suburbs has created problems，it has also provided substantial modern housing for millions of people．Suburban living offers the best of two worlds—the city and the country----at a price that many are able to afford．

Many people will always prefer the hectic pace and excitement of life in the city, while others will want the more tranquil pace of life in the country But for those in either city or country who are willing to compromise，the suburbs are waiting．

Passage Thirteen

Aging Is the process of growing old．it occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it premature. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people，such as the greying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin．Signs of aging In a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline In hearing and eyesight，or even a slight greying of the coat．Plants age too，but the signs are much harder to detect．

2011年 入学英语资料 更新班

Most body parts grow bigger and stronger and function more efficiently during childhood．They reach their peak at the time of maturity or early adulthood．After that，they begin to decline．Bones，for example，gradually become lighter and more brittle．in the aged，the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible．This can make moving very painful．

All the major organs of the body show signs of aging．The brain，for example，works less efficiently and even gets smaller In size．Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down．Old people often have trouble In remembering recent events．

One of the most serious changes of old age occurs In the arteries，the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become thickened and constricted，allowing less blood to flow to the rest of the body .This condition accounts，directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged．It may, for example，result in heart attack．

Aging is not a uniform process．Different parts of the body wear out different rates．There are great differences among people In their rate of aging．Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age．The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime．Nerve cells and muscle fibres can never be replaced once they wear out．

Gerontologists---scientists who study the process of aging---believe

2011年 入学英语资料 更新班

the wearing out of the body Is controlled by a built－In biological time－clock．They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process，This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years．

B．Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity…

C．The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people,

D．Not all signs of aging are visible·

B．the tubes carrying blood back to the heart

C．vessels that are thickened and constricted

D．such heart diseases as suffered by old people

3．” Aging Is not a uniform process” means that．

Are you usually pressed for time?

Do you want to control others?

Do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?

Do you eat too quickly?

Do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?
