关于英语统考复习资料的说明
1. 请以这9套题为主。考试时会碰到里面的许多原题,具体分布:
交际用语: 有2-3道原题。(共考5道题)
阅读理解:必有一篇原题。(共考2篇)
词汇与语法:有2-3道原题 (共考5道题)
英译汉:有2个原题。(共考4道题)
作文:有1原题(以作文范文为主)。 (共考1题)
所谓原题,就是题目不变,选项顺序不变,资料不变。所以,这9套题是复习重点,希望大家一定认真复习,熟练到一看题就知道资料,从而增加考试通过率。
2. 一定要重视作文复习。请一定从我们的统考网站(http://course.upol.cn/tongkao/index.asp)下载“2011年9月英语网络统考复习资料2-作文范文汇总 ”并现在开始就抽空看作文范文,考试时的作文题目基本都在我们提供的作文范文里。但在以往的考试复习中,很多学生没有重视作文复习,考试时乱写或不写,从而导致考试不合格。所以,我们强烈建议从现在起就复习作文。这样有利于在考试时知道怎么去写,也增大了通过考试的几率。作文复习方法如下:
(1) 我们已经把作文进行分类,请按类别进行复习,重点是第二类:我的…/ 我喜爱的… / 我最爱的… 和第四类:关于看法或观点。相比之下,第二类容易些,第四类难些。所以一定要把第二类看熟,第四类尽力看,总的来说,抽到第二类的作文几率大得多。
(2) 第一类:节日计划和第三类:英语学习,请各记一篇,要以一敌百。以第一类为例,建议背诵国庆节计划那篇,如果抽到题目是五一节日计划的,就需改改节日名称即可,以此类推。呵呵
(3) 第五类:书信,建议从后往前看,后面的题目是最近常出现的题。一定要注意书信类作文的格式。
3. 英译汉是最容易得分的题型,所以请将给的英译汉练习题一定都背过。
4. 随时登陆统考网站(http://course.upol.cn/tongkao/index.asp),查看最新资讯,点播辅导视频,加强模拟练习。请一定经常到统考网站进行统考模拟练考系统练习,提早熟悉考试界面、考试模式及考试内容。在练考系统中,英译汉和作文不评分。所以做完后成绩在50分以上,则基本能够顺利通过正式考试。

Passage 1
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)
法国大革命于1789年爆发。当时法国正处在一片混乱中,政府腐败,人民生活凄惨。路易十六世企图控制议会并增加赋税,但最后失败了。他命令军队进入凡尔赛。人民都认为他企图用武力镇压革命。1789年7月14日,人民群众爆发了,攻占了关押政治犯的巴士底狱。从那天以后,7月14日就被定为法国的国庆日。1792年,路易十六企图逃离法国,并从奥地利和普鲁士获得支持,但他被捕了。1792年王室被废除,路易十六被处以死刑。几个月后,他的妻子,玛丽也被处以死刑。法国大革命令欧洲其它国家的国王感到害怕。奥地利和普鲁士的军队进入了法国。法国人民组织起了共和军来保卫祖国,革命陷入了一个艰苦阶段。成千上万的人牺牲了。最后,权力落入了拿破仑﹒波拿巴手中。

Passage 2
A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
一个外国人对于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的,为了尽快做完一件事情,他们会在店里拼命引起店员的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡别人。白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
工作时间被认为是很珍贵的。在一些公共饮食场所,其他人会等在你旁边等你吃完,这样大家都可以得到服务,并赶在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人都会尽快给下一个人腾出地方。如果你不这样,侍者会催促你的。
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
你会发现司机也都很匆忙,人们从你身边匆匆走过。你会错过一些微笑,简短的交谈和一些与陌生人的小礼节。不要在意,这是因为他们非常珍惜时间,而且他们认为一旦太注重这些社交礼节就是浪费时间。
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
对时间的观念还会影响到我们对耐心的理解。在美国价值体系中,耐心并不是首要考虑的。我们中的很多人被称为“脾气火爆”。如果我们觉得时间在毫无意义的溜走,既没有娱乐价值,工作价值,也不在休息,那就会开始不停地徘徊。那些来自时间观念不同的国家的人发现他们在商业和日常生活中最困难的就是对时间节奏的适应。
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)
许多刚到美国来的人都会想念他们在商业会谈中一些开场礼节。举个例子,他们会想念欢迎你到来而泡的一杯茶或咖啡这样的社交礼仪,这在他们国家是常规礼仪。他们会想念在咖啡屋悠闲的会谈。而通常,美国人不会与来访者在这么悠闲的环境中进行一些冗长的小会谈。对于同事,我们总是看他过去的表现而不是与他的社交礼仪。因为我们一般都是更注重专业性的,而不是社交性的,因此我们总是很快进入正题。
11. Which of the following statements is wrong? __________ 以下哪项陈述是错误的?
A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.
B. Americans attach less importance to patience.
C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.
D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. 美国人对他们的同事不礼貌。
12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means __________.第四段中的“a high priority”是什么意思?
A. a less important thing B. a first concern 要首要考虑的。
C. a good business D. an attractive gift
13. Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.美国人评价他们的同事是根据__________。
A. through social courtesy B. through prolonged business talks
C. by establishing business relations D. by learning about their past performance他们过去的表现。
14. This passage mainly talks about __________. 本文主要讲了___________。
A. how Americans treasure their time 美国人是怎样珍惜时间的。
B. how busy Americans are every day
C. how Americans do business with foreigners
D. what American way of life is like

Sports
Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball. It’s part of my life. I began to play basketball in my childhood. I still remember the good old days when I played with my classmates after school. Later on, as I grew up, almost everything changed, but this sport-playing basketball remained and my love of it grew even stronger.
I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I got tired from office work, I went to the sports ground and felt refreshed. If there were worries and cares from daily life. I went to the sports ground. There everything went away except basketball. It is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood.
就像很多年轻人喜欢流行音乐一样,我喜欢篮球。这是我生活的一部分。我从孩提时代开始就打篮球了。我至今仍记得那些放学后和同学一起打球的旧日好时光。后来,当我慢慢长大,几乎所有的事情都改变了,除了篮球这项运动,它仍然是我的所爱,而且我对它的爱与日俱增。
我喜欢这项运动是因为它给我的生活带来欢乐和健康。当我厌倦了办公室工作,我来到运动场并感到精力很快恢复了。如果日常生活给我带来了烦恼和顾虑,我来到运动场。在那里,除了篮球,所有的一切都离我远去。是篮球让我保持了好心情和好体型。

Passage 1
Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well.

Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”

Passage 2
Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
英国和法国被英吉利海峡阻隔,游泳穿越该海峡只要不到20分钟的时间。但这两个国家的文化有时相差十万八千里。
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念)of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
上星期四,英国和法国庆祝了《友好协议》签订100周年的纪念活动。该协议标志着两个国家在经历了几个世纪的战争和爱恨交织的关系后的新篇章。
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug(拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
但他们的关系在上个世纪也经历了几番起落。仅去年,对伊拉克战争问题进行了激烈的争论-英国首相布莱尔支持而法国总统希拉克反对。国际会议中,这种别扭在布莱尔和希拉克的身体语言中表现得很明显。当法国领导人频频与德国总理格哈特•施罗德拥抱时,布莱尔只得到了握手。然而,有些政治专家说正是伊拉克战争促进了两国的关系。
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys(调查)show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.
这种历来的分离也许是好的,因为这两个国家对世界的看法完全不同。但是这并没有阻隔1200万的英国人每年到法国度假。而法国仅有300万的人民去英国度假。调查显示大多数法国人对德国人比对英国人亲切。并且在英国进行的调查显示仅有1/3的英国人信任法国人。也许这种坏的感觉是因为英国人不喜欢法国跟德国的亲密关系,或者因为法国对英国和美国的亲密关系感到不悦。
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel. (320 words)
不论资料是什么,双方能在一起庆祝这种“不确定的友好关系”100周年,至少证明他们会相互开玩笑了。其中一条就是:英国与法国的关系的最好见证是什么?是英吉利海峡。
11. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________.

A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherly D. a mixture of love and hate

A. good B. harm
C. neither good nor harm D. both good and harm

A. Germany; America B. America; Germany
C. Germany; Germany D. America; America
14. ____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________. 英国人更喜欢到法国度假。
A. American people…Britain B. British people … Germany
C. French people … Britain D. British people … France

A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.

Water and Life
1.随着工业化(industrialization)的推进,地球上的淡水(fresh water)越来越少。
2.生命没水就要消亡(disappear),因此人类要珍惜(treasure)淡水。
3.我们如何节约用水。
Water and Life
While we are enjoying the rich fruits of modern industrialization, we are losing something precious on this planet. Fresh water, among others, is dwindling down day by day, owing to the large-scale industrialization everywhere in the world. Just as sunshine is a necessity to life, so is fresh water. Without fresh water, our human society would come to a stop.
As fresh water is such an important resource to the human society, we need to treasure it as we treasure our life, but how?
First, our government should have a good plan for the use of fresh water and develop industries that consume less water. Second, waste water must be recycled. Finally,everyone of us should do his bit to save water.
在我们享受现代工业化丰富成果的时候,我们也在丢失一些宝贵的东西。这些东西中就包括淡水,由于世界各地大规模的工业化,它正在日益减少。就像阳光是生命的必须品一样,淡水也是生命所需。没有淡水,我们的人类社会将会终止。
由于淡水是人类社会的重要资源,我们应该向珍视生命那样珍视它,但是要怎样来保护它呢?
首先,政府应该合理规划淡水使用以及发展那些用水少的工业。其次,要循环利用废水、污水;最后,我们每个人都要尽力节约用水。

Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.
社区服务是我们大学教育的一个重要的部分。我们鼓励所有的学生在毕业前至少从事一项社区活动。一项新的叫做“一对一”的社区计划是用于帮助那些落后的小学生的。读教育专业的学生也许对这项计划尤其感兴趣,因为它为你提供了教学(教数学和英语)的机会。
You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.
你在一个学期内每周得自愿工作两小时。你可以选择教小孩数学,英语,或两者都教。一节课半小时比较好,因此你可以每周教两天,每次每门课半小时。
Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors — he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.
道奇教授将担任这些家庭教师的顾问。他会帮你制订教学计划或提供活动的建议。他的办公时间是每周二和周四下午。你可以在他那签约参与这个计划并于下周开始工作。
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week. (220 words)

Passage 2
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
纸是人类发明的最重要的产品之一。没有一些便宜而又实用的材料来写的话,书面语也不可能广泛传播。纸的发明意味着更多的人可以接受教育,因为更多的书可以印出来并分发出去。纸和印刷一起为知识的交流提供了极其重要的途径。
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
我们每年用多少纸呢?也许你无法很快回答出这个问题。在1900年,全世界的用纸量是每年人均一公斤左右。现在有些国家的用量达到每年人均50公斤。像美国,英国和瑞典这样的国家的用量远超其他各国。
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment. (208words)
像许多其他我们用的东西一样,纸最早发明于中国。在埃及和西方,十五世纪前纸并没有广泛使用。埃及人写字写在一种水生植物做成的材料上。欧洲人用羊皮纸用了好几百年。羊皮纸很牢固,它是用某些幼年动物的皮做成的。从羊皮纸上保存的记录中我们了解到关于欧洲历史的最重要的事情。
11. What’s the meaning for the word “parchment”? ____________“parchment”的意思是什么?
A. The skin of young animals.
B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals. 一种用某些幼年动物的皮做成的纸。

Passage1
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. Unfolded 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, handkerchief, 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 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.
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顶部。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。当国旗被用来为雕像或纪念碑揭幕时,不可以盖在被揭幕物上。如果国旗被用在这种场合,则不能让它掉到地上而应悬在空中作为这个仪式的象征。特别注意不要玷污国旗,不允许触到地面或擦着物体。

Passage 2
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
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 for their problems.
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,这些人物像大学生观众一样,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。
11. What is soap opera? 什么是肥皂剧?
A. Plays based on science fiction stories.
B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.
C. The daytime serial dramas on TV. 白天的电视系列剧。
D. Popular documentary films on TV.
12. What can be the best title of the passage? 这篇文章的最佳题目是什么?
A. College student viewers. B. Favorite TV serials.
C. Soap opera fans. 肥皂剧迷 D. College-age viewers.
13. Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become “in” among American young people?
根据这篇文章,哪一项不是肥皂剧突然火起来的原因?
A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.
B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.
C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.
D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.
因为年轻人得承担问题的责任。
14. What can we learn from the passage? 这篇文章让我们知道了什么?
A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.
B. Young people of sixties like soap operas more than people today.
C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.
年轻人已经使自己从60年代人的严肃转向了现在的快乐。
D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.
15. What message does the author want to convey to us? 作者想向我们表达什么信息?
A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.
B. The people’s favorites to drama works change along with the times.
人们对戏剧作品的喜爱随着时间而改变

Passage 1
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外,然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
住在伦敦郊外的一个好处就是房子便宜。在伦敦即使是没有花园的小公寓也需要一笔不菲的租金,用同样的钱,你可以在郊区买一个带花园的小房子了。
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
然后,他在乡村就可以远离喧嚣和忙碌的工作生活。即使他不得不起得更早,花更多的时间乘火车或公交车,但他晚上可以睡得更好。在周末和夏季的夜晚,他可以享受乡村清新干净的空气。要是他喜欢花园,在花园里干一些想挖土、种植、浇水等许多园艺的活,那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候,他就与其他分享大自然秘密的人们一样得到奖赏。
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
然而有些人对乡村并不感兴趣。对他们来说,幸福就在市区里,那里有电影院、剧院、漂亮的商店、繁忙的街道、舞厅和饭店。如果不得不住在伦敦郊外的话,这些人就觉得生活没意义了。(对于那些热爱都市生活的人来说)他们所需要的乡村生活,就是偶尔去公园散步,每个夏天去海边过上两个星期,其他跟乡村有关的东西,让那些每天晚上都急于离开伦敦的人们(住在郊外的人们)去享受吧。
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 下列哪个陈述是不对的?
A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.
B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.
所有在伦敦工作的人都喜欢住在伦敦市郊
C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.
7. With the same money needed for _______, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.
用同样的钱_______,他可以在乡村买到一套有花园的小房子。
A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden
C. renting a small flat without a garden 租一套没有花园的小公寓
D. buying a small flat without a garden
8. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______ has been rewarded.
当花园里开满鲜花的时候,那个_______的人就得到了奖赏。
A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden花时间在花园里工作
C. having a garden of his own D. having been digging, planting and watering
9. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.
那些认为幸福就在城市里人会感到_______如果他们不得不住在郊外。
A. their life was meaningless 他们的生活毫无意义 B. their life was invaluable
C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life
10. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to _______.
在第3段中,划线的词组get away from指_______。
A. deal with B. do away with
C. escape from 逃脱某个地方 D. prevent from
Passage 2
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
就定义而言,英雄之所以与众不同是因为他们有非凡的勇气、取得了卓著的成就、常常为他人的利益而做出牺牲——他们是我们评价别人的标准。他们是大家公认的对我们国家意识的形成和我们国家的发展,还有对他们的崇拜者的一生起了重大作用的人。可是,有人说,我们的时代是很难出现真正英雄的时代,英雄主义这一概念本身我们就难以理解——它已经成为历史。有些人坚持说,由于冷战的结束和美国对外的和睦,我们的时代本质上不是一个英勇豪壮的时代。更进一步地说,总体犯罪率正在降低,经济的发展与增长已经缓解了贫困,医疗科学也在不断的进步。
Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
给文化偶像下定义就更难了,但是我们看到他们就认识了他们。他们超越了名流,成为传奇式人物,甚至在某种程度上已是神话式的人物。但究竟是哪些因素使有些人成为偶像,另一些人仅成了名流呢?这就太难说了。部分原因是他们的生平带有传奇故事的色彩。比如说,年轻貌美的戴安娜•史宾塞,19岁时嫁给了王子,放弃了婚姻与王权,却在找到真爱的那一刻死去了。漂亮的长相当然有用,另外,在媒体的炒作下某种难以描述的、特殊的个人魅力也起作用。然而悲剧性地过早离开这个世界,却是造成偶像最重要的因素——例如:小马丁•路德•金、约翰•F•肯尼迪和戴安娜王妃。

Bad Manners in Public
1.列举人们在公共场所的不良现象。
2.对其中某一种现象陈述你的看法,并简单说明理由。
Bad Manners in Public
Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced being living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there. For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourists’ attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some audiences talk loudly on cell phones in front of others.
I’m strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect at all to others; what’s worse, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun.
虽然我们认为自己是生活在这个文明社会中的高级生物,但是不良举止行为仍到处可见。比如,骑自行车的人闯红灯,很多人在公共场所乱扔废纸和塑料袋,一些游客在旅游景点乱涂乱画,更不用说在大街上随地吐痰了。在电影院里,一些观众在他人面前用0000大声讲话。
我强烈反对在电影院大声000,因为这一行为对他人一点也不尊重,此外,还严重影响了其他观众看电影的心情。

Passage 1
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice — from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle — is all part of fun.
在英国,可住宿的地方就如可参观的地方那么多。不论你的预算是多少,任何一种选择都是快乐的一部分――从谷仓到小旅馆,从小农舍到大城堡。
Hostels 旅社
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse(临时住房)while others are remarkably comfortable — almost like bargain hotels.
廉价、超值的旅社定位在形形色色的趣味相投的重精神超过物质的这类游客群体,而且旅社没有规定游客必须是年轻人或者是单身汉。英国对自助旅行者和背包旅行者也十分欢迎。设施和价格也各不相同,特别是在乡村,有些旅社只比临时住房好一点点,而有些特别舒适-----就像物美价廉的旅馆一样。
Youth Hotels 青年旅馆
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
(这种旅社的形式)很多年前就形成了,为了“帮助所有的,特别是资金有限的年轻人,深入了解、喜爱、关心农村。”青年旅行社组织在21世纪依然盛行。230家的旅社网络是探索英国小镇和农村的最佳门户。
B&Bs 床位和早餐
The B&Bs (bed and breakfasts) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
床位与早餐是英国的伟大创举。实际上就是某家的住户为你提供一个房间,小的B& Bs只有一间客房,所以你会觉得自己是这户人家的一份子。大一些的B& Bs可能有4、5个房间和更多是设施,但一样的热情款待。
In country areas your B&Bs might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around £12 to £ 20 per person. City B&Bs charge about £25 to £ 30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
在农村,B & B可能在一个村庄或者四周都是田地的独立的农场里。价格反映了房间的设施:通常每人在12到20英镑左右。城市的B & Bs价格在每人25到30英镑左右,尽管越到郊区价格越便宜。
Pubs & Inns 酒吧和客栈
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&Bs, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of local community.
除了卖酒和饭菜外,英国的酒吧和客栈有时也提供床位和早餐,特别在农村地区。在那里住一两个晚上会十分有趣,并且可以让你处在当地社区的中心。
Rates range from around £15 to £ 25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.
价格在每人15到25英镑左右。酒吧更有可能拥有单人房。
