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。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。 6.

国王试图控制议会。 Passage 2A 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 5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 caf é 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.

D. an attractive gift13.

D. objective Passage 3Sixteen-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. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and fiends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales （称）. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn ’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.Maria，十六岁，她正在圣多明各(多米尼加首都) 的机场排队等候。她正要离开自己的祖国去美国和她的姐姐团聚。她的英语讲得很好。虽然她要出国了觉得很高兴，但此时要离开她的家人和朋友也很伤心。正在她想这些的时候，她突然听到机场的工作人员正在叫她把行李放到称上。Maria 拉了又拉，包太重，她根本抬不起来。她后面的男人很不耐烦了。他也是等着托运行李的。―What ’s wrong with this girl?‖ He said, ―Why doesn’t she hurry up?‖ He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in fist. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.“这女孩怎么了？”他说道，“她为什么不快点？”他走到前面，把包放在台上，希望能先登记。他急着想要得到一个好的座位。
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?‖Maria很生气，但她很有礼貌。她用最优美的英语说，“你为什么如此不耐烦？飞机上的每个人都有座位。如果你真的很急，为什么不能帮我搬一下行李？”The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. (224 words)这男人听到Maria 会讲英语觉得很惊讶。他很快拿起自己的行李退了回去。每个人都很不赞成得看着他。 6. Maria’s story happened ________.

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)不论答案是什么，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.

Passage 5Community 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)我确信你会喜欢这项社区服务，同时你也能获得宝贵的经验。能在你的简历上表明你有教孩子的经验而且你能关心你的社区，应该是很不错的一件事。如果你愿意签约或如果你有任何问题，于本周前往道奇教授的办公室。 6.

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。8Paper, 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. Parch 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.

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。 6.

D. Brave. Passage 8It 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 tha 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.

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.

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C. The people’s favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D. The people’s favorites have changed the drama works. Passage 9Many 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
10up, 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.

B. having a small flat with a gardenC. 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 garden8. 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 watering9. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.

D. they were not worthy of their happy life10. 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 withC. escape from 逃脱某个地方
D. prevent from Passage 10By 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。 11. The passage mainly deals with _______.这段主要讲述_______A. life and death
B. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and icons 英雄与偶像

B. Tragic and early death. 悲剧和英年早逝C. Personal attraction.
D. The quality of one’s story. Passage 11Places 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。 6.

Passage 12What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is ―no ‖. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.是什么使一个普通人成为科学家？他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗？答案是否定的。不是因为科学家使用的工具，而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家。你也许认同怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要。你也许也认同怎么研究调查，发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。然而，科学家比这更进一步，他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案，并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实。他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点。The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein ’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.科学家的知识必须很确切。不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间。他必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确。在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功。如果条件不同，科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的。这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由。爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论。他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的。一个科学家会用很多工具来测量。测量的结果用来进行数学计算，再进行调查研究的测试。11. What makes a scientist according to the passage? 根据这篇文章的观点科学家是如何来的？A. The tools he uses.
B. The way he uses his tools. 他使用工具的方法C. His way of learning.
D. The various tools he uses.12. ―The scientist, however, goes one step further…‖. The author says this to show _______.“然而，科学家比这更进一步……”作者这么说是为了说明什么？A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary people科学家与普通人的区别D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs13. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.一项伟大的科学理论应该是怎么样的？A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times
不仅只在一种条件下一次可行，而是要在同样的条件下一直可行。B. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement14. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.作者引用爱因斯坦的例子是为了证明什么？A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in science调查研究在科学领域十分重要。D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations15. What is the main idea of the passage? 这篇文章的中心意思是什么？A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.确切性和使用工具的方法是成为科学家的重要因素。 Passage 13In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it ’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus,
13misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)在美国，一般不习惯每天很早打电话给某个人。如果你很早打电话给他，在他刮胡子或吃早饭的时候，那就说明这件事情非常重要，需要立刻处理。晚上十一点以后打电话也是同样的意思。如果一个人在睡觉的时候接到电话，那他肯定觉得这是一件事关生死的大事。打电话的时间也显示事情的重要程度。在社会生活中，时间是一个非常重要的角色。在美国，如果在宴会三四天前才受到邀请，那受邀者就会认为自己不是很受重视。但并不是在所有的国家都如此。在世界上的其它地方，提前很多时候做约定被认为是很愚蠢的，因为约好一个星期以后的事情很容易忘记。所以时间的意义在不同的地方是不一样的。因此，来自不同文化背景的人之间就会产生误会。举个例子，准时在美国社会是受到高度认可的。如果某些人不准时，就会被认为不礼貌或不够负责任。在美国，没有一个人会把一次商务活动和等待一小时联系起来，这太不礼貌了。一个人如果迟到五分钟，就要做出解释，也许这还不够。 6.

Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.短期目标是根据每日制定的为了处理当前事物的目标。短期目标可以以少于一个星期，一个星期，两个星期，或者可能的话一个月来完成。我们必须记住，正如只有地基牢靠，建筑物才坚固一样，长期目标脱离了扎实的短期目标的实现是不能实现的。短期目标的实现是以以前完成的目标为前提的。The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.中期目标是在短期目标的基础上指定的。可以以一个学期或整个学年为周期指定，或者延长至几年。每次你根据目标前进了一步，都不要让自己感到没有信心或者压力重重。当你完成了一个目标，你都会增加成功的信心。并且当你完成目标的日期越来越近，你的动力和希望都会增加。Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words)长期目标可以和我
