Section Lesson 2 & Lesson 3Pre-readingAEvery year thousands of tourists flock to China with the latest edition of Chinas “Lonely Planet” guidebook in their hands. They come to see the grand sights of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but often it is the hutongs that leave the strongest impression， as they offer travellers a rare view into Chinas past. Hutongs the many little alleys that connect the rectangular courtyards of traditional houses are a feature of ancient Chinese architecture and are still found in the old quarters of a few Chinese cities. Beijings hutongs are particularly famous, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word “hutong” has come to mean more than just the alleys that connect the courtyards. It also refers to the courtyards themselves and even to the communities that live there.BThe majority of Beijings hutongs were built between the 13th and 19th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. To help them keep control over the city, the Emperors during these periods arranged different areas of Beijing in neat blocks of houses built around courtyards.They were then able to place guards at the entrances of the various hutongs, which made it easier to keep an eye on peoples movements. The Emperors home, the Forbidden City, was in the centre of Beijing and the homes of the nobles and wealthy citizens were in the hutongs closest to the royal palace. Ordinary citizens lived in the hutongs further away from the palace.flock to蜂擁而至latest adj.最新的，最近的edition /IdIn/n.版本grand adj.雄偉的，壯麗的“It is/was被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分that .”是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，強(qiáng)調(diào)the hutongs。leave/make the . impression (on sb.)(給某人)留下印象alley /li/n.胡同，小巷rectangular /rektjl/adj.長方形的feature n特色，特征particularly adv.特別，尤其come to達(dá)到(認(rèn)識、理解或相信的程度)more than后接名詞，表示“不僅僅”。refer to指的是the majority of .的大多數(shù)keep control over控制arrange vt.整理，布置at the entrance(s) of在的入口處keep an eye on照看，留意which made it easier to keep an eye on .是which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，修飾前面整個(gè)主句的內(nèi)容。在定語從句中，it是形式賓語，比較級easier作賓補(bǔ)，動詞不定式短語to keep an eye on .是真正的賓語。further away from離較遠(yuǎn)。further是far的比較級。A每年成千上萬的游客帶著最新版孤獨(dú)星球中國旅游指南涌向中國。他們來看長城和故宮的壯麗景色，但常常是那些胡同給他們留下最深的印象，因?yàn)橥高^難得一見的胡同，游客能看到中國的過去。胡同很多條連接四合院的小巷子是中國古代建筑的一大特色，今天仍然能在中國少數(shù)幾個(gè)城市的老城角落里見到。然而，北京的胡同格外著名，因?yàn)樗袛?shù)千條?，F(xiàn)在，“胡同”這個(gè)詞不僅僅指連接四合院的小巷子，它還指四合院本身，甚至包括住在四合院里的人們。B北京的胡同大部分建于13至19世紀(jì)的元、明、清三個(gè)朝代。為了維持對整個(gè)城市的統(tǒng)治，那些朝代的皇帝們把北京城的不同地區(qū)劃分成整整齊齊的四合院院落。他們派士兵把守著胡同的入口，這樣做使他們?nèi)菀妆O(jiān)視人們的舉動?；始夜氽?，即紫禁城，在北京城的正中央，貴族與富豪的府邸位于距離皇宮最近的胡同，普通老百姓住在離皇宮較遠(yuǎn)的胡同。CBy connecting peoples homes, the hutongs in fact connected peoples lives, whether the lives of the rich or the lives of the ordinary citizens. Because the houses were built facing each other around courtyards, the families who lived there were an important part of each others lives. They supported each other when help was needed and shared the joy and sadness of everyday life, no doubt sharing recipes, borrowing mops, and burning fragrant incense together. The children played in the courtyards and because of the hutongs, courtyards were joined together for miles around creating a network of people working, playing and living together a real community.DTowards the end of the Qing Dynasty, the conditions in Beijings hutongs went down as the political situation cast a dark cloud on Chinas economy. Many new hutongs were quickly built to house the increasing population but these were poorly made. The turning point came when the Peoples Republic of China was set up. Conditions improved a great deal and the government undertook the preservation of many of the oldest hutongs.EHutongs are still an important part of Beijing life and it is not surprising that tourists love the hutongs. They can walk up Sanmiao Street, which dates back 900 years, wander down Rongxian the longest hutong at 2 km or squeeze through Qianshi the narrowest at only 40 cm wide! They can also stop under a stone arch and watch the hutong world go by while enjoying a plate of Beijings best “Peking Duck” or satisfying their thirst with a cold Tsingtao beer. The hutongs not only link Beijings streets and communities after all, but also its past and present, showing that Beijing is truly an ancient yet modern city.the rich富人，“theadj.”表示一類人。whether . or .不管是還是share the joy and sadness同甘共苦fragrant /freIrnt/adj.有香味的incense n香(尤指宗教禮儀用的)現(xiàn)在分詞短語creating a network of people .作結(jié)果狀語，其中working, playing and living together又作people的后置定語。cast /kst/vt.投下cast a dark cloud on .在投下一片陰云as the political situation cast a dark cloud on .是as引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句。house vt.安置poorly adv.糟糕地turning point轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)set up建立(國家、組織、機(jī)構(gòu)等)a great deal許多，大量a great deal of后跟不可數(shù)名詞。undertake /ndteIk/vt.著手做，從事preservation /prezveIn/n.維護(hù)，保存walk up沿走up此處意為“沿著(一般指向高處、向上游、向北、向大城市)”。date back (to .)追溯(至)squeeze /skwiz/vt.擠arch /t/n.拱頂go by經(jīng)過，過去satisfy vt.滿足，使?jié)M意thirst /st/n.口渴while enjoying .是狀語從句的省略。當(dāng)狀語從句中的主語與主句的主語一致，且其謂語部分含有be的某種形式時(shí)，可將主語和be動詞一起省略。showing that .是現(xiàn)在分詞及其后的賓語從句作狀語，表示伴隨。C胡同不僅使家家戶戶相通，實(shí)際上不管是富人還是普通人，他們的生活都被胡同聯(lián)系起來了。因?yàn)樗暮显旱姆孔娱T對門圍繞院子四面建成，所以生活在那里的人都成為彼此生活中重要的一部分。他們相互扶持，同甘共苦，更不用說分享菜譜、借用拖把和一起點(diǎn)香了。孩子們在院子里一起玩耍，也正因?yàn)橛辛撕?，方圓好幾里的四合院被連接起來，構(gòu)成了人們一起工作、一起娛樂、一起生活的網(wǎng)絡(luò)一個(gè)真正的社區(qū)。D到了清朝末年，中國的經(jīng)濟(jì)受到政治局勢的不良影響，北京胡同的狀況也每況愈下。為了容納新增的人口，很多新胡同都是草草建成，質(zhì)量欠佳。中華人民共和國成立以后情況有了轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)，胡同的條件得到了很大的改善，政府對很多早期的胡同進(jìn)行了修繕和保護(hù)。E胡同仍然是北京生活的一個(gè)重要的部分，難怪游客們喜愛胡同。他們可以在900年前修建的三廟街散步，或徜徉在最長達(dá)兩千米的絨線胡同，或側(cè)身擠過最窄處只有40厘米的錢市胡同！他們還可以在石拱門下停留，享受一盤最好的北京烤鴨或一杯解渴的冰鎮(zhèn)青島啤酒的同時(shí)，望著這胡同世界緩緩而過。胡同不僅連通了北京的街道和社區(qū)，它還聯(lián)系著北京的過去和現(xiàn)在，它證明了北京的確是一座古老而現(xiàn)代的城市。PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1rotAto press something firmly together with your fingers or hand2cast Bnot to read, mention, or deal with something that would normally come or happen next3squeeze Cto decay by a gradual natural process, or to make something do this4skip Dto make light or a shadow appear somewhere5undertake Eto promise or agree to do something6collision Fselect by a vote for an office or membership7merciful Gshowing or giving mercy8elect Han accident resulting from violent impact of a moving object答案：15CDABE68HGFLeadinAs we all know, Beijing is famous for its Hutongs and the Great Wall.

I could tell from her expression she wasnt pleased to see a student worker.“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee？” I asked.Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.I filled the 40cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled, “Thats not the way to make coffee！” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her.Back at home, I stayed alone in my room, fighting back tears. I thought, “Maybe she didnt feel well. Maybe she had some trouble.” I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.The next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Roses way as much as possible.Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me, and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension began to melt away.Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.That summer I learned a lesson Ive never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose annoying, demanding, unlovable yet hurting inside. Ive found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.1What was Roses attitude towards the author the first day they met?APolite.BCurious.CDissatisfied.DUnashamed.解析：選C推理判斷題。由第六段末的“Nothing I did pleased her.”可推斷， Rose 與作者認(rèn)識的當(dāng)天對作者很不滿意。2After getting home from work, the author _.Awas very tiredBfelt quite upsetCwas pretty lonelyDfelt generally unwell解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第七段中的“fighting back tears”可知，作者回家后感到很不開心。3What did the author do after her first day of working with Rose?AShe hurt Rose.BShe helped Rose.CShe ignored Rose.DShe tolerated Rose.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第七段中的“I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.”可知，與Rose 第一天合作后，作者開始包容Rose。4What can we infer from the text?ANever judge by appearances.BFriendship is love with understanding.CMisfortunes test the sincerity of friends.DMan has not a greater enemy than himself.解析：選B推理判斷題。由最后兩段尤其是文章末句“Ive found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.”可知，作者對Rose采取了包容的態(tài)度后兩人關(guān)系變得和諧，作者逐漸理解了Rose，且兩人最終成了朋友。據(jù)此可推斷，友誼就是愛和理解。BEvery time your fingers touch your cellphone, they leave behind trace amounts of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.A molecule (分子) is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything youve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what itd touched earlier.Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those residues (剩余物), the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteers phone with a cotton swab (藥簽). The scientists also swabbed each persons right hand. Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cellphone.The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says, “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses highend cosmetics (化妝品), dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, hes never heard of police using phone residues to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.語篇解讀：本文是說明文。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，通過分析遺留在手機(jī)上的化學(xué)物質(zhì)可以了解手機(jī)使用者的生活方式。5By analyzing the residues on the phone, we can conclude its users _.ApersonalityBlifestyleCappearanceDintelligence解析：選B推理判斷題。由第一段中的“By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life”和倒數(shù)第二段中的“We could tell if a person is likely female, uses highend cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”可推知，通過分析遺留在手機(jī)上的化學(xué)物質(zhì)可以了解手機(jī)使用者的生活方式。 6What was the first thing the researchers had to do for the study?AComparing different chemicals.BHiring volunteers with cellphones.CCollecting the chemicals from phones.DBuilding a database containing chemicals.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.”可知，研究員們所做的第一項(xiàng)工作是建立數(shù)據(jù)庫。7Whats the authors attitude towards the application of the research finding?ADoubtful.BDisappointed.CPositive.DUninterested.解析：選C推理判斷題。由末段中的“But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.”可推知，作者對研究結(jié)果的實(shí)用性持認(rèn)可的態(tài)度。8What should be the best title for the text?ACellphones will be used in more fieldsBMolecules are used to search for illegal drugsCYour phone may be home to various chemicalsDFingers leave telltale clues about you on your phone解析：選D標(biāo)題歸納題。本文旨在說明手機(jī)上遺留的化學(xué)物質(zhì)可以透露出手機(jī)使用者的一些情況，故D項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題最能概括文章主旨。CIf youre a college student, who could blame you for not paying attention to that mounting student loan (貸款) balance? But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isnt like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors arent nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor. What can you do to repay your student loans sooner?If you can manage it, repay your loans on the standard 10year repayment plan. Youll pay less interest and get rid of your loans sooner. And its a good idea to throw extra money at your bill when you can to speed up the process. If youre really troubled with cash, switch to an incomedriven student loan repayment plan. The government offers four options that make your payments a percentage of your income, so youll pay less when you earn less.Next, think about where you can cut costs elsewhere in your life so you can pay your loan bills. Focus on saving money in ways that make sense for your lifestyle. That way you wont feel deprived of (被剝奪) everything you enjoy, and you can cut out expenses that you truly dont need.Car payments can be especially costly. Consider giving up a car and signing up for Zipcar, car2go or another car sharing service if its available in your city. These companies let you rent a car hourly, which can help when public transportation wont get you where you need to go.Now its on to smaller expenses and some you might not even know youre paying. Its easy to sign up for a service that automatically charges you every month, such as the gym, ClassPass, Spotify or Netflix. Cancel them if youre not using them at least a few times a week. A service such as Truebill will track your monthly payments and show you which ones youre not using so you can cancel.語篇解讀：本文是說明文。大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，很多人面臨助學(xué)貸款的壓力，該如何按時(shí)還貸呢？9What does the author aim to tell us in Paragraph 1?AMissing a payment is common for graduates.BThere are good ways to pay student loan bills.CPaying student loan bills on time is necessary.DSome students easily ignore their student loan bills.解析：選C推理判斷題。由第一段中的“But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore.
