Good or Bad?

Saccharin(糖精) is the only truly man-made sweetener. It was discovered by accident 100 years ago in an experiment with coal tar(煤焦油). In the experiment, a scientist got some substance (which later he knew was saccharin) on his finger. ―Later, at dinner, he put his finger into his mouth and noticed the sweet taste,‖ says Eric Walters, professor of biochemistry at the Chicago Medical School.

Containing no calories, saccharin is not absorbed by the human body. It began to be disliked by people during the late 1970s and early 1980s when one set of studies showed that it caused cancer in laboratory animals. According to Walters, it is not fair to saccharin because the studies were not perfect.

More recent testing with other animals with small amounts of saccharin has not repeated the same results. Even with these experimental results, saccharin labels are still required to carry a warning saying it has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. In 1990, saccharin was allowed to be sold in the market again.

Because it is hundreds of times sweeter than table sugar, only a small amount of saccharin is used at home, in restaurants or in the food-making industry.

Another sweetener we commonly use is aspartame(甜味剂). It is not so sweet as saccharin, but much sweeter than table sugar. Unlike saccharin, however, aspartame can be absorbed into the body. It contains 4 calories per gram, the same as table sugar. But aspartame is 180 times sweeter than sugar.

Although aspartame is found in thousands of products, its safety, like saccharin, has still been uncertain. Nevertheless, people allow its use in all foods and drinks.

―In my opinion, aspartame is as safe as sugar—but then there are those who think white sugar is dangerous,‖ says Walters. ―Between aspartame and saccharin, I would

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

pick aspartame. But at normal use levels, I think saccharin is safe too.‖

THE SERVICE YOU GET ON THE TUBE

1. The world‘s first underground railway (the Tube) opened in London in January

1863. Today there are 11 lines serving 272 stations, the busiest of which, King‘s Cross, sees the start and finish of around 70 million journeys a year. But the system is in crisis mainly as a result of under investment. Overcrowding combined with A

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

poor reliability can lead to problems for travelers, particularly those who use the Tube during its busiest hours.

2. This report looks at service and safety on the Underground. It‘s based on the

findings of our survey of passengers. Last June e interviewed 1,698 Tube travelers outside 46 Underground stations in London; 517 regular travelers were contacted again and asked more detailed questions by phone.

3. Since 1981 the number of passengers using the Tube has increased by almost half.

The increase in passengers has not been matched by an expansion of the Underground system and there is widespread congestion, particularly during the peak hours. London Underground Limited (LU) states that over the busiest rush hour no more than one person should have to stand for each seated passenger. But LU‘s own statistics show that this standard is often not met over large areas of track on a daily basis.

4. Forty-three per cent of regular travelers mentioned graffiti, rubbish and generally

dirty conditions as one of the aspects of the Underground‘s service they disliked. The aim set by the Government for train cleaning is that carriages should be cleaned internally every day they are in use. LU‘s figures show it has come very close to achieving this. But there are no standards to define or measure how well trains have been cleaned. LU has made progress in dealing with rubbish at major stations but graffiti, old coaches and unmodernised stations remain serious problems.

5. Well over half of the regular travelers said they were dissatisfied with the

information provided when something goes wrong on the system. 72 per cent of those who were dissatisfied complained that the information was wrong or given too late. 49 per cent couldn‘t hear or understand what was said. LU told us that a new system has been installed, which should mean clearer messages. However, the new system applies only to messages broadcast within stations. Those coming from a central control room may not improve for some time to come.

6. Most of this report reflects the experiences of regular Tube travelers but we also

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

asked those who do not travel every day for their views. The most popular type of ticket bought by these travelers was a one-day pass. Few appeared to have had problems finding their way around the system — 89 per cent said finding their way around was easy. 23 Paragraph 2………… ( ) 24 Paragraph 3………… ( ) 25 Paragraph 4………… ( ) 26 Paragraph 5…………

第4部分:阅读理解(第31~45题,每题3分,共45分)

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题,每道题后面都有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

第一篇

The Highlands of Scotland

The drive from England to Scotland provides the traveler with many pleasant changes of scenery. As it is a fairly journey, it is good to be able to travel with a friend who can drive a car too.

A Scotsman traveling with an English friend may tell him that he is going to see, in the Highlands, the finest scenery in the world. This may sound exaggerated, but on arriving in the Highlands most people readily agree that the scenery is indeed magnificent.

The Highlands are, as the name implies, the hilly or mountainous region of the country; they form the greater part of the western half of Scotland north of Glasgow.

On the first night in Scotland a tourist may choose to stay at a hotel in the little town of Gallander, which is one of the gateways (通道) to the Highlands. On the following day he can set out to see the various lakes in the neighbourhood, and will be delighted with the wild and romantic aspect of the countryside. When he returns to his hotel he will be glad to eat a copious (丰盛的) ―high tea‖. This is a meal which, in Scotland and many parts of northern England, takes the place of tea and dinner. It consists of one substantial course, followed by bread-and-butter, with jam or honey, and some kind of cake. Tea is drunk with the meal, which is taken at about six o‘clock in the evening. One has a light supper late in the evening.

The next morning many tourists move on to the west coast, passing on their way Loch Lomond, one of the largest and most famous of the Scottish lakes. (These are Galled ―lochs‖, with the exception of the Lake of Menteith, not far from Glasgow.) The road twists and turns, dips and climbs, but is not dangerous. The greatest hazard is the black-faced sheep: these animals are as active and aggressive as goats, and frequently wander recklessly into the road. The tourist may also see a herd of long-haired Highlands cattle, which look fierce but are no more fierce than ordinary cattle. Eventually the road runs along the coastline of the sea, where you can see little islands and rocky bays.

Family and Health Care

―Chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, have replaced acute infectious illness as the leading causes of death in the United States,‖ says Thomas L. Campbell, a physician specializing in family related medicine. Since most of these diseases cannot be cured, Campbell believes more emphasis must be placed on health promotion and disease prevention.

The way to do this is through the family, Campbell says in a report published by the National Council on Family Relations. ―The family has a powerful influence on health beliefs and behaviors because it is the primary social agent in the promotion of health and well-being. Preventive health-care programs and policies must focus on the family and use it as an important resource in health promotion.‖

Campbell points to a number of observable connections between health and family.

The family is the primary setting in which attitudes and behaviors regarding diet,

35 Which of the following statements is true of the animals?

Black-faced sheep are less active than goats. Black-faced sheep are as aggressive as goats.

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use are learned and maintained.

Unhealthy behaviors and genetic risk factors for diseases are frequently found within families, as family members tend to share not only genes, but diets, physical activities, and alcohol and tobacco use.

Chronic marital (婚姻上) distress and conflict can lead to acute and chronic health changes, such as rising blood pressure and heart rate and lowering immunity(免疫力) of cells. These physiological(生理上的) changes result in a wide range of diseases, especially heart disease and cancer.

Campbell believes that a number of measures be made within the health-care system to accommodate the influence of the family. For example, health education and preventive care should be targeted toward families as well as individuals and communities. Also, when a risk factor for a disease or condition is identified in one family member, all other family members should be tested.

Campbell also recommends that mental-health care be included in wellness programs and suggests that family professionals(therapists, sociologists, and family-life educators) become more actively involved in health promotion.

36 Campbell believes people should pay more attention to health promotion and

disease prevention because most of these diseases

Accurate Timer

These days timing is everything. Between meetings and appointments, deadlines and conference calls, my schedule requires that I know the time down to the minute. Even on weekends, I have got a football team to coach, shows to tape, and planes to catch. If I‘m sunk. The problem is that it‘s hark if my clocks aren‘t correct. Even the digital clocks can display time inaccurately. Dead batteries, time changes…any of these can cause a clock to be inaccurate. Now there is no need to worry, because advanced radio technology has produced a clock which gets the time directly from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, the standard for time-keeping the world over. The Atomic Clock by Acron is the most accurate, reliable and convenient timepiece you can have.

Every morning at 1:00 a.m., this ―smart‖ clock in Colorado automatically resets itself to the exact hour, minute and second. The U.S. Atomic Clock is accurate to ten billionths of a second per day. This means that the clock deviates less than one second over a one-million year period. The Atomic Clock even adjusts automatically for daylight saving time, so you don‘t have to remember to ―spring forward‖ or ―fall back‖ The desktop clock model is the only atomic clock that will not lose time with low power or when you change its batteries.

The most accurate clock in the world is of no use if it is difficult to operate. The Acron Atomic Clock is engineered in Germany using the latest scientific technology. It comes in two styles, the wall clock and the desktop model. Both are designed to be functional and easy to use. The desk clock‘s display features the exact time (in hours, minutes and seconds), month and date, or you can choose to display any two U.S. or world time zones. It weighs only eight ounces, and is the perfect travel clock. It also has dual alarms, perfect for couples. Both the desktop and the wall models have an internal antenna for good reception without unattractive wires. 41 What is the passage mainly about?

The importance of timing.

44 Why does the writer want to know the time down to the minute?

Because he always chairs meetings. Because he has got a football team to coach. Because he is the pilot of a plane.

Because he has a very tight timetable to follow. It has dual alarms. It has an outside antenna.

It is a perfect travel clock due to its light weight. It displays to time zones.

Lowering the Risk of Heart Disease

Like millions of other Americans, I come from a family with a history of heart disease. My father had his first three heart attacks when he was only thirty-one. I was three years old at that time. (46) It was there, but I didn‘t take it seriously.

When I was thirty-one, my blood cholesterol level was measured for the first time. It was 311 mg/dl, the doctor told me — an abnormally high level that put me at a very high risk of heart disease, especially with my family history. (47) The trial was designed to test the effect of lowering blood cholesterol on the risk of heart disease.

At NIH, physicians explained the degree of risk associated with my blood cholesterol level and the nature of the experiment. This test involves inserting a tube through a leg artery up to the heart. A dye is injected so that the amount of blockage of heart arteries can be seen. (48)

Learning about the risks of the experiment as well as the risk associated with my raised blood cholesterol level scared the hell out of me. Although I was excluded from participating in the study, the experience may well have saved my life.

For the first time, I began to realize the seriousness of high blood cholesterol. It was a heart attack just waiting to happen. (29) This was hard to take. 新东方冲刺班培训讲义

This experience taught me two lifesaving lessons. First, although I felt fit and strong, I was actually at high risk for heart disease because of my high blood cholesterol level. (50) Second, I could lower my blood cholesterol level simply by changing what ate.

Science and Truth

―FINAGLE‖ is not a word that most people associate with science. One reason is

that the image of the scientist is of one who always collects data in an impartial (52) ―science says‖ usually disarms opposition.

But scientists have long acknowledged the existence of a ―finagle factor‖ — a tendency by many scientists to give a helpful change to the data to (53) desired results. The latest of the finagle factor in action comes from Stephen Jay Gould, a Harvard biologist, (54) has examined the important 19th century work of Dr. Samuel George Morton. Morton was famous in his time (55) analyzing the brain size of the skulls as a measure of intelligence. He concluded that whites had the (56)brains, that the brains of Indians and Blacks were smaller, and therefore, that whites constitute a superior race.

Gould went back to Morton‘s original data and concluded that the (57)were an example of the finagle at work. He found that Morton‘s ―discovery‖ was made by leaving out embarrassing data, using incorrect procedures, making simple arithmetical (58) (always in his favour) and changing his criteria – again, always

(47)

(48)

(49) (50) C D E F But equally important, I got a taste of what it is like to be a patient, to have tests done on me and to think of myself as sick.

He sent me to the National Institute of Health (NIH) to be screened for participation in a clinical trial. I grew up with heart disease.

The death rate for the test was only 1 in 100, I was assured. And with my family history, it could not be ignored. This is what I had experienced before.

(51) for truth. In any debate-over intelligence, schooling, energy –the

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

in favour of his argument. Morton has been thoroughly discredited by now and scientists do not believe that brain size reflects (59).

But Gould went on to say Morton‘s story is only an example of a common problem in (60) work. Some of the leading figures in science are believed to have (61) the finagle factor. Gould says that lsaac Newton fudged out to support at least three central statements that he could not prove. And so (62) Claudius Ptolemy, the Greek astronomer, whose master work, Almagest, summed up the case for a solar system that had the earth as its center. Recent studies indicate that Ptolemy (63) faked some key data or resorted heavily to the finagle factor.

All this is (64) because the finagle factor is still at work. For example, in the artificial sweetener controversy, for example, it is said that all the studies sponsored by the sugar industry find that the artificial sweetener is unsafe, while all the studies sponsored by the diet food industry find nothing (65) with it.

Norwich

Norwich, the capital of the part of Britain known as East Anglia, has been in existence for more than two thousand years. It began as a small village beside the River Wensum. At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066 it had grown to become one of the largest towns in England.

With two cathedrals and a mosque(清真寺), Norwich has long been a popular center for various religions. The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while Norwich itself had a year of celebration in 1994to mark the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter. This allowed it to be called a city and to govern itself independently.

Today, in comparison with places like London or Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a population of around 150,000, but in the 16th century Norwich was the

second largest city of England. It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer, becoming famous for having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as there are days in the year.

Nowadays, there are far fewer churches and pubs, but in 1964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich. With its fast-growing student population and its success as a modern commercial center (Norwich is the biggest center for insurance services outside London), the city now has a wide choice of entertainment: theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy cafes, excellent restaurants, and a number of arts and leisure centers. There is also a football team, whose colours are green and yellow. The team is known as ―The Canaries (金丝雀)‖, though nobody can be sure why.

Now the city‘s attractions include another important development, a modern shopping center called ?The Castle Mall‘. The people of Norwich lived with a very large hole in the middle of their city for over two years, as builders dug up the main car park. Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city center park, with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees. But the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains, right in the heart of the city and next to the new development. Both areas continue to do good business, proving that Norwich has managed to mix the best of the old and the new. 16 The River Wensum flows by Norwich.

Messages from the Media

1

The weather forecast, a story about the candidates in an election, and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media. A communication medium, of which the plural (复数的) from is media, is a means of communicating a message. Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media. 2

It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about advertisements, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Advertisements are important messages, even though they are sometimes annoying. They help us compare and evaluate products. 3

Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events. Do you depend on other people or the media? What about international news? What is the most important source of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, ―Television‖. 4

Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on billboards (露天广告牌) on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning? Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication —a book. 5

We use the information we get from radio, television, newspapers, and other media to make decisions and from opinions. That is why the mass media are so important. Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote, consumer reports on television help up decide how to spend our money, and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace. 23 Paragraph 2…… 24 Paragraph 3…… 25 Paragraph 4…… 26 Paragraph 5……

第一篇

Turning Night into Day

Computers may one day turn night into day — with good old, natural sunlight. Giant computer-controlled mirrors may one day move around the earth, reflecting sunlight onto a darkened United States.

Two scientists from NASA say that 16 of these mirrors, each about a half mile wide, could reflect the sun‘s light would equal about 56 moons.

The mirrors would be so high that they could catch the sun‘s light as the sun was shining on the other side of the earth. The mirrors would orbit(环绕轨道运行)— thousands of miles high — at the same speed as the earth spins. That way, the mirrors would always be over the same spot.

The computer-controlled mirrors could also be made to tilt(倾斜) slowly, so the reflected sunlight would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth. For example, as

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

night fell, the mirrors could be tilted to light up Boston. Later on, as darkness moved slowly westward, Chicago, for example, then San Francisco could be lit up. The reflected sunlight would allow these cities to save electricity. And in emergencies, such as power-failures or disasters, the mirrors could light up the affected area.

However, scientists do not know what effect this man-made daytime would have on plants, animals, and humans. Would it confuse some animals and harm plants that are used to regular day-night cycles? Dr. Allen and Dr. Canady suggest that studies be done to find out what bad effects there might be. 31 This passage is mainly about

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

On 5 October 1999, a local train in west London went through a red light and ran into another one. As a result, more than 30 people died. This kind of error can‘t be made in Spain or in Sweden. Nor can the French high-speed-train, the TGV, go through a red light. All these trains are protected by automatic train protection (ATP), which stops trains if they pass through a red light.

In the end we may never know why the driver, who died in the accident, went through the red light. But the evidence points to a system failure. Eight other drivers had been through the same red light in recent years.

Humans make errors. Technology is less likely to fail concerning many repetitive(重复性的) tasks. And we can find in the statistics for railway accidents. Britain‘s accident rate is 0.36 deaths for every billion kilometers that passengers travel on the railways. The Swedish accident rate is only 40 per cent of this while the Spanish accident rate is only a quarter of the British rate. If both the trains in last week‘s crash had ATP, we would not now be asking such searching questions about why one caught fire.

The years ago, an inquiry into another London train crash showed that it was necessary to install ATP on British railways. The government did not accept the idea, fearing that the 1 billion cost would make the railways difficult to privatize (私有化).

This week, the government said ATP would be now installed on all major routes running express trains — but not on all the network. It is too late. Let‘s hope it is not too little.

More than 30 people were killed in it. The driver survived the crash.

Transportation

For many years in the desert, camels were the only form of transportation. Before the age of modern trains, camels were used to carry all the goods for trading between Central Africa and Europe. Traders sometimes put together 10,000 to 15,000 animals. Each animal often used to carry as much as 400 pounds and it could travel twenty miles a day. This form of transportation used to be so important that camels were called ―ships of the desert‖.

Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very short time. One engine can pull as much weight as 135,000 camels. In addition, trains use special cars(车厢) for their load. Refrigerator cars carry food; boxcars (棚车) carry heavy goods; stock cars carry animals; and tank cars carry oil.

Air travel is also a modern means of transportation, but it has changed since the early twentieth century. The earliest planes were biplanes (双翼飞机), with two sets of wings. The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour. The pilots sat or lay on the wings in the open air. The plane engines sometimes stopped in the middle of a trip. It used to be impossible to fly in bad weather. In snow or in rain, the wings frequently became icy. Then the plane might go down.

Mechanical improvements during the First World War changed airplanes. Monoplanes (单翼飞机) took the place of biplanes. Pilots flew inside of covered cabins. Still, even these planes were small. Only rich people used to be able to travel in airplanes.

Now modern jets make air travel possible for all people. No place in the world is A B C D

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

Do not underestimate (低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. (46) An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.

On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need

(pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. (47)

Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as ―discuss‖, ―compare‖ and ―evaluate‖. (48) It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical (千篇一律的) answers.

(49) If you do need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts, choose a fixture (固定设施) in the room, such as the ceiling — or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.

Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. (50) A B C Do not arrive too early, though, as other people‘s anxiety can be contagious (传染性的), and you may suffer from undue panic.

Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.

When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn‘t understand.

D Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important. E F

Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.

GDP&GNP

Governments all over the world make public reports about the condition of their

economies. Most countries, including the United States, have used a measure (51) the gross national product or GNP. It includes all (52) and services produced by citizens of the country anywhere in the world.

Recently the American Commerce Department has started using a new (53) to measure production. It is known as the gross domestic product or GDP. It counts only goods and services that have been produced (54) the nation‘s borders. Money earned by foreign companies operating in the United States is included in the GDP, but money earned by American companies operating in other countries (55).

Economic experts generally approve (56) the change. They say that the gross domestic product provides a truer measure of the (57). They also note that most other industrial countries use this method. Therefore it will be easier to study the economies of different countries. Some (58) also hope the new system will help them (59) better economic policy decisions. It will provide them (60) a clearer under standing of economic activity in the US. The new measure is (61) likely to be affected by sudden changes in foreign oil prices or in the (62) of the American dollar in other countries. Economic experts believe that the change from GNP to GDP will immediately reduce the value of American production (63) at least 40,000 million dollars a year. But that is really a very (64) change in the American economy — less than 1%. The Commerce Department reports the unofficial gross domestic product once (65) three months. The government also continues to report GNP as it has four times a year since 1941. 51 A 52 A 53 A

Plants and Mankind

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don‘t know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of ―knowledge‖ at all.

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few

people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.

vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them. 2

First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher, they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes. 3

Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. 4

Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it. 5

What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above. 23 Paragraph 1…….. 24 Paragraph 2…….. 25 Paragraph 3…….. 26 Paragraph 4……..

第一篇

Chewing Gum

The practice of chewing gum (口香糖) has been with us for more than a century. Millions of people all over the world chew billions of pieces of gum every year.

Chewing gum became popular in the United States mainly because of the work of one man, William Wrigley, who for many years was head of the Wrigley Company. Earlier, Thomas Adams first began to experiment with chewing gum in about the year 1870. It was he who first made gum softer and pleasant to chew. But it was not until Wrigley entered the business in about 1890 that people everywhere began to learn about chewing gum and to use it widely.

Wrigley liked to do things in a big way. In his first year, he borrowed money and spent more than a million dollars on advertising (做广告). For years, there was a large Wrigley‘s advertisement in every streetcar(有轨电车) in the United States. People

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

complained that they could not go anywhere without seeing Wrigley‘s name. Wrigley even sent, free of charge, pieces of gum to every person in the telephone book of every city and town in the United States. Finally, he began to advertise that it was good for the health to chew gum and that it helped to keep the teeth clean.

He used to send free gum to every child in the United States on his second birthday. He employed young women who, in beautiful dresses, would go from city to city in groups of four or five, stand on street corners, and give free chewing gum to every person who passed by. In this way, each woman gave away about five thousand pieces of Wrigley‘s gum every day. As a result of this continuous advertising, people in the United States naturally began to buy more and more chewing gum. 31 Who first started to experiment with chewing gum?

第二篇

The English Weather

―Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather‖. This statement, often made by Englishmen to describe the strange weather conditions of their country, is both revealing and true. It is revealing because in it we see the Englishman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere; its truth can be proved by any foreigner who stays in the country for longer than a few days.

In no country other than England, it has been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day! Day may break as a warm spring morning; an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may be pouring down. At midday it may be really winter with the temperature down by about eight degrees or more centigrade (摄氏度). And then, in the late afternoon the sky will clear, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer.

In England one can experience almost every kind of weather except the most extreme. (Some foreigners seem to be under the impression that for ten months of the year the country is covered by a dense blanket of fog; this is not true.) The problem is that we never can be sure when the different types of weather will occur. Not only do we get several different sorts of weather in one day, but we may very well get a spell (持续的异端时间) of winter in summer and a spell of summer in winter.

The uncertainty about the weather has had a definite effect upon the English man‘s character; it tends to make him cautious (小心谨慎的), for example. The foreigner may laugh when he sees the Englishman setting forth on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella, but he may well regret his laughter later in the day!

And, of course, the weather‘s variety provides a constant topic of conversation. Even the most taciturn(沉默寡言的) of Englishmen is always prepared to discuss the weather. And, though he sometimes complains bitterly of it, he would not, even if he could, exchange it for the more predictable climate of other lands.

38 What makes the Englishman cautious, according to the passage?

39 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the weather in England?

40 The word ―lands‖ in the last sentence could best be replaced by

The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth‘s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea-water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% - the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs (冰山) and glaciers (冰川). Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry.

In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one useful step we should take

新东方冲刺班培训讲义

is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale.

Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying(净化) plant.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven, a major composer of the nineteenth century, overcame many personal problems to achieve artistic greatness.

Born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770, he first studied music with the court organist, Gilles van der Eeden. (46) When his mother died, Beethoven, then a young man, was named guardian of his two younger brothers. Appointed deputy court organist to Christian Gottlob Neefe at a surprisingly early age in 1782, Beethoven also played the harpsichord and the viola. (47) Beethoven remained unmarried. Because of irregular payments from his publishers and erratic support from his patrons, he was troubled by financial worries throughout his adult life. (48) In spite of this handicap, however, he continued to write music. He completed mature masterpieces of great musical depth: three piano sonatas, four string quartets, the Missa Solemnis, and the 9th Symphony. (49) His life was marked by a passionate dedication to independence.

Noting that Beethoven often flew into fits of rage, Goethe once said of him, ―I am (50)

A Today his music is still being played all over the world. B C He died in 1827.

In 1792 he was sent to Vienna by his patron, Count Ferdinand Waldstein, to study music under Haydn.

D His father was excessively strict and given to heavy drinking. E F Although Beethoven‘s personality may have been untamed, his music shows great discipline and control, and this is how we remember him best.

Continually plagued by ill health, he developed an ear infection which led to his tragic

astonished by his talent, but he is unfortunately an altogether untamed personality.‖

The Recreative Function of Greens pace Facilities

Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is

(51) longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is (52) accepted, although more as a self-evident statement (53) on the basis of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greens paces in the urban environment is the (54) step on the right way; this does not (55), however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greens pace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants(居民) are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the (56) of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative (供消遣的) function of greens pace facilities.

The theoretical separation of (57), working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my (58) resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively (59) attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have (60) to the conlusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for (61) at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open (62) has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as (63), and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory(必须做的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.

The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to (64) a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere (65) a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you. 51 A 52 A 53 A 54 A
