Passage 1

Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to

ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to

display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The

national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole.

Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions,

handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects. (227 words)

已经制定了法律来规定美国国旗的使用并确保对国旗应有的尊敬。关于国旗的使用也早已有了惯例。全军就国旗的展开方法有明确的规定，这与常规有点不同。国旗的升降应由手工完成。国旗未展开时不能升起。应先使它展开，然后快速把它升至旗杆。缓慢、庄严地降下。旗上不可以放东西。不要把国旗镶嵌在衣服或运动装上，也不要把国旗印在垫子、手帕、纸巾或盒子上。联邦法律规定如果某个商标含有美国国旗或国徽，这个商标就不能被注册。当国旗被用

It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial

电大网考复习资料交流

据报道，在美国大学里，被称为肥皂剧的日间系列剧突然“火”了起来。

上午11点至下午4：30，大学电视观看室里挤满了肥皂剧迷，他们急着想看自己所崇拜的偶像的下一集生活剧。

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When

school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up

watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.

其实，肥皂剧不仅仅是大学生最喜爱的节目，也是年轻人最喜爱的。放学

后，中学生都挤在电视机前观看节目。有一个年轻的职业妇女坦诚说起曾经拒绝了一份薪水不错的工作而不愿放弃观看最喜爱的系列剧。20世纪60年代年轻人很少看肥皂剧。那时的情况与现在很不相同。那是很严肃的时期，人们所谈的都是关于很重要的社会大事。

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It

may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility fir their problems.

(226words)

现在，严肃已被娱乐取代。年轻人想寻找快乐。如果他们想看表现生活烦

恼的肥皂剧就会显得很奇怪。但肥皂剧是令人快乐的。年轻人可以模仿肥皂剧里的人物，这些人物象大学生观众一样，在寻找快乐的爱情，也许还没找到。肥皂剧给年轻人一个贴近人们的机会但对于他们的问题却不必承担责任。

16．What is soap opera? _____________ 什么是肥皂剧？

Passage 3

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of

language is a mystery. All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain

signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

人们最初是如何发明单词的不得而知，换句话说，语言的起源是个秘密。

所有我们所知道的只是，人，不同于动物，不知怎么发明了某些声音来表达思想、情感、行为和物质，以便相互交流；后来统一了某些被称为字母的符号，这些字母可以连起来代表那些声音，可以写下来。我们把那些声音叫做单词，不管他们是口语还是书面语。

The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up

before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean

something to us increases.

电大网考复习资料交流

文字的力量在于其联系性－它们把这些联系性带到我们的头脑中。通过经

历，单词对我们充满了意义。我们活得越久，某些单词就越能使我们回忆起过去的喜怒哀乐；我们越是阅读和学习，有意义的单词数量就越增加。

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these

thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This

charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like

music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We

should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar . (239words)

伟大的作家是那些不仅具有伟大思想而且能用词汇来表达这些思想的人，

他们的思想强烈地震撼着我们的心灵和情感。单词的这种美妙和寓意用法就是我们所谓的文学性。总之，真正的诗人是文字的掌握着。他可以用音乐般的词汇来表达自己的意思，这些词汇凭借其所用环境和联系性能让人感动得流泪。因此，我们应该学会仔细选择所用词汇并准确使用，否则会使我们说的话可笑又粗俗。

21. The origin of language is _________________ 语言的起源是

A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret.
