新理念英语上机测试(华工版) Book 3

We start in New York City earlier this month ― January fourth, to be exact. Two friends, Julio Gonzalez and Pedro Nevarez, were standing on the street talking. Suddenly, people in a nearby apartment building screamed for help. A three-year-old boy was hanging from the steps of the fire escape outside the building. Timothy Addo was twelve meters above the ground, and scared.
The men saw that he was going to fall. The two mechanics ran across the street and positioned themselves to catch him. They got there just in time. Timothy lost his hold and dropped. His feet hit Mister Nevarez and pushed him over onto the sidewalk. But the little boy landed in the arms of Mister Gonzalez, who also fell. Timothy was shaken by the experience, but he was safe.

Passage Three
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Script: A teenage boy named Xue Xiao got nationwide attention in China last year following the Sichuan earthquake. His claim to fame was simply that his first words after being pulled from the ruins 80 hours after the quake was over were: "I want a Coke, with ice."
Xue's courage and perseverance held many people in awe. So he was admitted by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics without having to take any exams. An article in Oriental Morning Post covered the boy's latest development in school and reported that he has to study English very hard to keep up with his peers at the university.
The writer says he is surprised by the school's decision and asks if a student's legendary experience could be a reason for the university to enroll the student without exam scores. It is reasonable to reward people who made outstanding contributions to the ear
thquake relief efforts, but the boy's involvement is inadequate to be considered a contribution, the article supposed. Indeed, at a time when th

e country needed optimism to boost national morale, Xue Xiao touched people with his "courage and humor," the writer said. But the university's explanation that "Xue's spirit of rousing himself in the earthquake tallies with the school's motto" is really far-fetched, according to the article.

Part II Oral Tasks ( 2 minutes )



Section A

Directions: Interpret the following Chinese passage into English. You can either interpret it sentence by sentence or give out the main points in your own words. You will have TWO minutes for preparation and THREE minutes for interpretation.
31. 勇敢，不需要突出的品质，不需要秘诀，不需要天时地利，每个人或早或晚都有机会。生活不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个竞技场而已，在人生的每一个竞技场上勇气都会前来挑战。

32.Read the quotation from J. F. Kennedy, and think about your own definition of courage. Talk about the courage as you believe in and give an example.

The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must —
in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality.
