The government was badly run and peoples 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.

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 （任務(wù)） . Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. 一個(gè)外國(guó)人對(duì)于美國(guó)的第一印象很有可能是每個(gè)人都在壓力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人總是表現(xiàn)得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的，為了盡快做完一件事情，他們會(huì)在店里拼命引起店員的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡別人。白天匆忙就餐也是這個(gè)國(guó)家生活節(jié)奏的一個(gè)部分。 Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they 5 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 dont, waiters will hurry you. 工作時(shí)間被認(rèn)為是很珍貴的。在一些公共飲食場(chǎng)所，其他人會(huì)等在你旁邊等你吃完，這樣大家都可以得到服務(wù)，并趕在規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)回去工作。每個(gè)人都會(huì)盡快給下一個(gè)人騰出地方。如果你不這樣，侍者會(huì)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. Dont take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else wasting it beyond a certain courtesy point. 你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)司機(jī)也都很匆忙，人們從你身邊匆匆走過(guò)。你會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)一些微笑，簡(jiǎn)短的交談和一些與陌生人的小禮節(jié)。不要在意，這是因?yàn)樗麄兎浅Ｕ湎r(shí)間，而且他們認(rèn)為一旦太注重這些社交禮節(jié)就是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。 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. 對(duì)時(shí)間的觀念還會(huì)影響到我們對(duì)耐心的理解。在美國(guó)價(jià)值體系中，耐心并不是首要考慮的。我們中的很多人被稱為“脾氣火爆”。如果我們覺(jué)得時(shí)間在毫無(wú)意義的溜走，既沒(méi)有娛樂(lè)價(jià)值，工作價(jià)值，也不在休息，那就會(huì)開(kāi)始不停地徘徊。那些來(lái)自時(shí)間觀念不同的國(guó)家的人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?cè)谏虡I(yè)和日常生活中最困難的就是對(duì)時(shí)間節(jié)奏的適應(yīng)。 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 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) 許多剛到美國(guó)來(lái)的人都會(huì)想念他們?cè)谏虡I(yè)會(huì)談中一些開(kāi)場(chǎng)禮節(jié)。舉個(gè)例子，他們會(huì)想念歡迎你到來(lái)而泡的一杯茶或咖啡這樣的社交禮儀，這在他們國(guó)家是常規(guī)禮儀。他們會(huì)想念在咖啡屋悠閑的會(huì)談。而通常，美國(guó)人不會(huì)與來(lái)訪者在這么悠閑的環(huán)境中進(jìn)行一些冗長(zhǎng)的小會(huì)談。對(duì)于同事，我們總是看他過(guò)去的表現(xiàn)而不是與他的社交禮儀。因?yàn)槲覀円话愣际歉⒅貙I(yè)性的，而不是社交性的，因此我們總是很快進(jìn)入正題。 11. Which of the following statements is wrong? _ 以下哪項(xiàng)陳述是錯(cuò)誤的？ A. Americans seem to be always under pressure. B. Americans attach less importance to patience. C. Americans dont care much about ritual socializing. D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. 美國(guó)人對(duì)他們的同事不禮貌。 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 要首要考慮的。 C. a good business D. an attractive gift 13. Americans evaluate a business colleague _. 美 國(guó) 人 評(píng) 價(jià) 他 們 的 同 事 是 根 據(jù)_。 A. through social courtesy B. through prolonged business talks C. by establishing business relations D. by learning about their past performance 他們過(guò)去的表現(xiàn)。 14. This passage mainly talks about _. 本文主要講了 _。 A. how Americans treasure their time 美國(guó)人是怎樣珍惜時(shí)間的。 B. how busy Americans are every day C. how Americans do business with foreigners D. what American way of life is like 15. We can infer from the passage that the authors tone in writing is _. 6 從本文我們可以看出作者寫作的口吻是_。 A. critical B. ironical C. appreciative 欣賞的。 D. objective KEY： DBDAC Passage 3-（機(jī)場(chǎng)小女孩） Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo.

But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart. 英國(guó)和法國(guó)被英吉利海峽阻隔，游泳穿越該海峽只要不到 20 分鐘的時(shí)間。但這兩個(gè)國(guó)家的文化有時(shí)相差十萬(wàn)八千里。 Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary（周年紀(jì)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，英國(guó)和法國(guó)慶祝了友好協(xié)議簽訂 100周年的紀(jì)念活動(dòng)。該協(xié)議標(biāo)志著兩個(gè)國(guó)家在經(jīng)歷了幾個(gè)世紀(jì)的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和愛(ài)恨交織的關(guān)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（擁抱） , Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties. 但他們的關(guān)系在上個(gè)世紀(jì)也經(jīng)歷了幾番起落。僅去年，對(duì)伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行了激烈的爭(zhēng)論 -英國(guó)首相布萊爾支持而法國(guó)總統(tǒng)希拉克反對(duì)。國(guó)際會(huì)議中，這種別扭在布萊爾和希拉克的身體語(yǔ)言中表現(xiàn)得很明顯。當(dāng)法國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人頻頻與德國(guó)總理格哈特施羅德?lián)肀r(shí)，布萊爾只得到了握手。然而，有些政治 專家說(shuō)正是伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)促進(jìn)了兩國(guó)的關(guān)系。 The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesnt stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction.

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 1960s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now.

They are men and women recognized for shaping our nations 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. 就定義而言，英雄之所以與眾不同是因?yàn)樗麄冇蟹欠驳挠職?、取得了卓著的成就、常常為他人的利益而做出犧?他們是我們?cè)u(píng)價(jià)別人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。他們是大家公認(rèn)的對(duì)我們國(guó)家意識(shí)的形成和我們國(guó)家的發(fā)展，還有對(duì)他們的崇拜者的一生起了重大作用的人?？墒?，有人說(shuō)，我們的時(shí)代是很難出現(xiàn)真正英雄的時(shí)代，英雄主義這一概念本身我們就難以理解 它已經(jīng)成為歷史。有些人堅(jiān)持說(shuō)，由于冷戰(zhàn)的結(jié)束和美國(guó)對(duì)外的和睦，我們的時(shí)代本質(zhì)上不是一個(gè)英勇豪壯的時(shí)代。更進(jìn)一步地說(shuō)，總體犯罪率正在降低，經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展與增長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)緩解了貧困，醫(yī)療科學(xué)也在不斷的進(jìn)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. 給文化偶像下定義就更難了，但是我們看到他們就認(rèn)識(shí)了他們。他們超越了名流，成為傳奇式人物，甚至在某種程度上已是神話式的人物。但究竟是哪些因素使有些人成為偶像，另一些人僅成了名流呢？這就太難說(shuō)了。部分原因是他們的生平帶有傳奇故事的色彩。比如說(shuō)，年輕貌美的戴安娜史賓塞， 19 歲時(shí)嫁給了王子，放棄了婚姻與王權(quán)，卻在找到真愛(ài)的那一刻死去了。漂亮的長(zhǎng)相當(dāng)然有用，另外，在媒體的炒作下某種難以描述的、特殊的個(gè)人魅力也起作用。然而悲劇性地過(guò)早離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界，卻是造成偶像最重要的因素 例如：小馬丁路德金、約翰 F肯尼迪和 戴安娜王妃。 11.

Whatever your budget is the choice from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle is all part of fun. 在英國(guó)，可住宿的地方就如可參觀的地方那么多。不論你的預(yù)算是多少，任何一種選擇都是快樂(lè)的一部分從谷倉(cāng)到小旅館，從小農(nóng)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 dont have to be young or single to use them. Britains 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（臨時(shí)住房） while others are remarkably comfortable almost like bargain hotels. 廉價(jià)、超值的旅社定位在形形色色的趣味相投的重精神超過(guò)物質(zhì)的這類游客群體，而且旅社沒(méi)有規(guī)定游客必須是年輕 人或者是單身漢。英國(guó)對(duì)自助旅行者和背包旅行者也十分歡迎。設(shè)施和價(jià)格也各不相同，特別是在鄉(xiāng)村，有些旅社只比臨時(shí)住房好一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，而有些特別舒適 -就像物美價(jià)廉的旅館一樣。 Youth Hotels 青年旅館 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 Britains towns and countryside. （這種旅社的形式）很多年前就形成了，為了“幫助所有的，特別是資金有限的年輕人，深入了解、喜愛(ài)、關(guān)心農(nóng)村?！鼻嗄曷眯猩缃M織在世紀(jì)依然盛行。家的旅社網(wǎng)絡(luò)是探索英國(guó)小鎮(zhèn)和農(nóng)村的最佳門戶。 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 somebodys house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so youll 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. 床位與早餐是英國(guó)的偉大創(chuàng)舉。實(shí)際上就是某家的住戶為你提供一個(gè)房間，小的 B& Bs 只有一間客房，所以你會(huì)覺(jué)得自己是這戶人家的一份子。大一些的 B& Bs 可能有、個(gè)房間和更多是設(shè)施，但一樣的熱情款待。 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. 在農(nóng)村， B & B 可能在一個(gè)村莊或者四周都是田地的獨(dú)立的農(nóng)場(chǎng)里。價(jià)格反映了房間的設(shè)施：通常每人在到英鎊左右。城市的 B & Bs 價(jià)格在 15 每人到英鎊左右， 盡管越到郊區(qū)價(jià)格越便宜。 Pubs & Inns 酒吧和客棧 As well as selling drinks and meals, Britains pubs and inns sometimes offer B&Bs, particularly in country areas.

KEY： ABDCB Passage 12 （怎樣成為科學(xué)家） What 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. 是什么使一個(gè)普通人成為科學(xué)家？他有與從不同的學(xué)習(xí)方法和工具嗎？答案是否定的。不是因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)家使用的工具，而是因?yàn)樗褂霉ぞ叩姆椒ㄊ顾蔀榭茖W(xué)家。你也許認(rèn)同怎么用力對(duì)一名木匠來(lái)說(shuō)很重要。你也許也認(rèn)同怎么研究調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)信息對(duì)每個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)都很重要。然而，科學(xué)家比這更進(jìn)一步，他必須確定他對(duì)自己的問(wèn)題得出了一個(gè)合理的答案，并且他的答案通過(guò)別人也可以得到證實(shí)。他同時(shí)把自己得出的許多答案歸結(jié)為一個(gè)系統(tǒng)的關(guān)于世界如何運(yùn)作的觀點(diǎn)。 The scientists 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 16 accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteins 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. 科學(xué)家的知識(shí)必須很確切。不能給半錯(cuò)半對(duì)或者只有一半機(jī)會(huì)對(duì)的情況留任何空間。他必須在條件允許的情況下盡可能正確。在一種條件下成功一次的話必須在同樣的條件下都能成功。如果條件不同，科學(xué)家在證明過(guò)程中觀察到的任何變化都必須解釋他的條件是如何變化的。這是關(guān)于調(diào)查研究在科學(xué)研究中十分重要的其中一個(gè)理由。愛(ài)因斯坦通過(guò)數(shù)學(xué)方法提出了相對(duì)論。他的數(shù)學(xué)運(yùn)用的正確性被后人通過(guò)調(diào)查研究的方法證實(shí)該理論是正確的。一個(gè)科學(xué)家會(huì)用很多工具來(lái)測(cè)量。測(cè)量的結(jié)果用來(lái)進(jìn)行數(shù)學(xué)計(jì)算，再進(jìn)行調(diào)查研究的測(cè)試。 11.

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 its 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, misunderstandings 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 17 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) 在美國(guó)，一般不習(xí)慣每天很早打電話給某個(gè)人。如果你很早打電話給他，在他刮胡子或吃早飯的時(shí)候，那就說(shuō)明這件事情非常重要，需要立刻處理。晚上十一點(diǎn)以后打電話也是同樣的意思。如果一個(gè)人在睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候接到電話，那他肯定覺(jué)得這是一件事關(guān)生死的大事。打電話的時(shí)間也顯示事情的重要程度。在社會(huì)生活中，時(shí)間是一個(gè)非常重要的角色。在美國(guó)，如果在宴會(huì)三四天前才受到邀請(qǐng)，那受邀者就會(huì)認(rèn)為自己不是很受重視。但并不是在所有的國(guó)家都如此。在世界上的其它地方，提前很多時(shí)候做約定被認(rèn)為是很愚蠢的，因?yàn)榧s好一個(gè)星期以后的事情很容易忘記。所以時(shí)間的 意義在不同的地方是不一樣的。因此，來(lái)自不同文化背景的人之間就會(huì)產(chǎn)生誤會(huì)。舉個(gè)例子，準(zhǔn)時(shí)在美國(guó)社會(huì)是受到高度認(rèn)可的。如果某些人不準(zhǔn)時(shí)，就會(huì)被認(rèn)為不禮貌或不夠負(fù)責(zé)任。在美國(guó)，沒(méi)有一個(gè)人會(huì)把一次商務(wù)活動(dòng)和等待一小時(shí)聯(lián)系起來(lái)，這太不禮貌了。一個(gè)人如果遲到五分鐘，就要做出解釋，也許這還不夠。 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 18 goals that will build on those that have been completed. 短期目標(biāo)是根據(jù)每日制定的為了處理當(dāng)前事物的目標(biāo)。短期目標(biāo)可以以少于一個(gè)星期，一個(gè)星期，兩個(gè)星期，或者可能的話一個(gè)月來(lái)完成。我們必須記住，正如只有地基牢靠，建筑物才堅(jiān)固一樣，長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)脫離了扎實(shí)的短期目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)是不能實(shí)現(xiàn)的。短期目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)是以以前完成的目標(biāo)為前提的。 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. 中期目標(biāo)是在短期目標(biāo)的基礎(chǔ)上指定的。可以以一個(gè)學(xué)期或整個(gè)學(xué)年為周期指定，或者延長(zhǎng)至幾年。每次你根據(jù)目標(biāo)前進(jìn)了一步，都不要讓自己感到?jīng)]有信心或者壓力重重。當(dāng)你完成了一個(gè)目標(biāo)，你都會(huì)增加成功的信心。并且當(dāng)你完成目標(biāo)的日期越來(lái)越近，你的動(dòng)力和希望都會(huì)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) 長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)可以和我們未來(lái)的夢(mèng)想相關(guān)聯(lián)。可以是五年或五年以上的目標(biāo)。生活不是一成不變的。我們不能讓長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)制約了我們或我們的行為。 11.

What is the main idea of this passage? _ 這篇短文的中心思想是什么？ A Life is a dynamic thing. B. we should set up long-term goals C. Different kinds of goals in life. 目標(biāo)的不同種類。 D. The limitation of long-term goals. 15. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _ 根據(jù)短文，下面哪種說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的？ A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. C.

KEY： BDCCC Passage 15 （語(yǔ)言的起源） How men first learnt to invent words is unknown； in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know 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 present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. 人們最初是如何發(fā)明單詞的不得而知，換句話說(shuō)，語(yǔ)言的起源是個(gè)秘密。所有我們所知道的只是，人，不同于動(dòng)物，不知怎么發(fā)明了某些聲音來(lái)表達(dá)思想、情感、行為和物質(zhì)，以便相互交流；后來(lái)統(tǒng)一了某些被稱為字母的符號(hào)，這些字母可以連起來(lái) 19 代表那些聲音，可以寫下來(lái)。我們把那些聲音叫做單詞，不管他們是口語(yǔ)還是書面語(yǔ)。 The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing 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 increases. 文字的力量在于其聯(lián)系性它們把這 些聯(lián)系性帶到我們的頭腦中。通過(guò)經(jīng)歷，單詞對(duì)我們充滿了意義。我們活得越久，某些單詞就越能使我們回憶起過(guò)去的喜怒哀樂(lè)；我們?cè)绞情喿x和學(xué)習(xí)，有意義的單詞數(shù)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. 偉大的作家是那些不僅具有偉大思想而且能用詞匯來(lái)表達(dá)這些思想的人，他們的思想強(qiáng)烈地震撼著我們的心靈和情感。單詞的這種美妙和寓意用法就是我們所謂的文學(xué)性?？傊?，真正的詩(shī)人是文字的掌握著。他可以用音樂(lè)般的詞匯來(lái)表達(dá)自己的意思，這些詞匯憑借其所用環(huán)境和聯(lián)系性能讓人感動(dòng)得流淚。因此，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)仔細(xì)選擇所用詞匯并準(zhǔn)確使用，否則會(huì)使我們說(shuō)的話可 笑又粗俗。 6.

KEY： DCDBA Passage 16 （關(guān)于羞怯） Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious； that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? 羞怯是許多人不快樂(lè)的原因。害羞的人焦慮不安，自我意識(shí)強(qiáng)，也就是說(shuō)，他們過(guò)分在意自己的形象和行為。焦慮時(shí)?？M繞在他們的腦海中：我給人留下了什么印象 ?他們喜歡我嗎 ?我讓人覺(jué)得很傻嗎 ?我的穿著是否不吸引人 ? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A persons conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. 顯而易見(jiàn)，這種不舒適的感覺(jué)必然給人們帶來(lái) 20 了不利的影響。一個(gè)人的自我意識(shí)反映在他或她的行為上，而一個(gè)人的行為會(huì)影響他人的反應(yīng)。一般而言，人們認(rèn)識(shí)自己的方式對(duì)他們的生活的方方面面有深遠(yuǎn)的影響。 Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing the right thing. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism； they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true. It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. 羞怯的人非常自卑，他們可能很被動(dòng)，容易受他人的影響。他們需要得到他人的再次確認(rèn)：他們所做的是“正確的事情”。羞怯的人對(duì)批評(píng)很敏感，他們認(rèn)為批評(píng)使得他們更低人一等。他們也發(fā)現(xiàn)自己很難因?yàn)槭艿筋愃频谋頁(yè)P(yáng)而高興，如：你剛才所說(shuō)的使我感覺(jué)很好。我知道那不是真 的。很明顯，盡管具有自知之明是件好事，但過(guò)度自謙則是有害的。 Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. 羞怯能根除嗎 ?或至少能減少些嗎 ?幸運(yùn)的是，許多人能通過(guò)堅(jiān)決而有耐心地建立自信來(lái)克服羞怯。既然羞怯與自卑天生相伴，那么人們能看見(jiàn)他們的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)是很重要的。 Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. 每一個(gè)人都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的，都有其價(jià)值所在。我們對(duì)我們自己個(gè)人的方式感興趣。我們了解自己越多，我們就越容易充分發(fā)揮自己的潛能。不要讓羞怯妨礙我們實(shí)現(xiàn)富裕而有成效的人生。 11.

While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort. 美國(guó)文化的一個(gè)特點(diǎn)，并且?guī)缀醭蔀槊绹?guó)的一項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)的是對(duì)自我?jiàn)^斗的人的尊敬通過(guò)自己的努力到達(dá)頂峰，通常是白手起家。然而公司，企業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，社會(huì)地位很高，在社區(qū)中獲得比一般工人或工廠技術(shù)人員更多的尊敬的大學(xué)教授，都不愿說(shuō)出自己的父親在美國(guó)是從一個(gè)農(nóng)民，工人這類人開(kāi)始奮斗的。 This attitude toward manual（體力的） labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪華地） furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children； yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. 這種對(duì)體力勞動(dòng)的尊敬在美國(guó)生活的很多地方都能看到。一個(gè)人被邀請(qǐng)到一戶家庭赴宴，這戶家庭裝潢不只舒適，可以說(shuō)是豪華，處處可證明這家人支付的起國(guó)外旅行，奢侈的愛(ài)好和孩子的大學(xué)教育。但是這樣的女主人很有可能自己做飯招待客人，然后洗刷餐具，并且這樣的宴會(huì)不會(huì)僅僅提供快餐式的罐頭食品，從附近面包房買的蛋糕或派。相反的，女主人通常為精心準(zhǔn)備特別的菜肴而感到自豪。男主人會(huì)談?wù)撟约喝绾蜗窜?，在花房勞作，粉刷房子，他的兒子在外地上大學(xué)，做餐廳侍應(yīng)生，洗盤子來(lái)供自己生 活花費(fèi)，或者暑假的時(shí)候?yàn)榻ㄖ?duì)在高速公路工作賺錢付學(xué)費(fèi)。 11.

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 tourist attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others. Im strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behaviour shows no respect at all to others； whats worse, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun. 7、 My Opinion on Cell Phones 我對(duì)手機(jī)的看法 1使用手機(jī)的好處； 2使用手機(jī)的弊端； 3我的看法。 答案： My Opinion on Cell Phones Cell phones do play an important role in peoples daily life, but every coin has two sides. To start with, a wireless mobile phone is convenient for the user at any time to contact others. Secondly, its a helpful companion. With a multifunctional cell phone in hand, one can easily surf the net, downloading what he needs. However, the cell phone has many disadvantages. For one 29 thing, the machine itself is very expensive and its local service is very costly, not to mention its global service. For another, the radiation transmitted from the mobile phones might do harm to the users health. In my opinion, with its expenses being reduced sharply, its development will have a brighter future. Therefore its advantages will far outweigh its disadvantages. 難度： 2 知識(shí)點(diǎn)：寫作部分大學(xué)英語(yǔ) B 8、 My Favorite TV Program 我最喜歡的電視節(jié)目 1. 你最喜歡什么電視節(jié)目？ 2. 你為何喜歡這種電視節(jié)目？ 答案 ： My Favorite TV Program The News Broadcast is my favorite TV program.

Can Money Buy Happiness? The answer varies among people. Some believe that money is the source of happiness, because money provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, and clothes for the needy. While others hold that money is the root of evils, because it is the devil of money that drives a person to lie, cheat, steal, and, worst of all, to murder. In my opinion, money is essential to being well-off, but 30 not necessarily to well-being. Happiness is a state of mind, not something that can be bought. All in all, happiness is less a matter of buying what we want than a wanting what we have. 10、 The Digital Products 電子產(chǎn)品 1.如今數(shù)字化產(chǎn)品得到廣泛的使用，例如 。 2.數(shù)字化產(chǎn)品的使用對(duì)人們生活所帶來(lái)的影響。 答案： The Digital Products Nowadays, digital products are enjoying growing popularity among people.

Second, it can widen peoples knowledge and make people more experienced. Lastly, people can enjoy themselves through programs which advertisements have been put into. Some advertisements, however, are very useful to people, sometimes, even harmful. An advertisement like this, for example, may put thousands of women and girls into trouble. Disillusioned with life, love, marriage? You need help. Phone me.” And the savior gives his phone number to his sheep. In modern times, many advertisements are subjective rather than objective, persuasive rather than informative. The only purpose of these advertisements is to persuade people to buy their poorly-made products. Therefore, it is wise for people to make sure if the advertisements are telling the truth. (134words) About Health & Wealth（健康與財(cái)富） Once there was a man who always wanted to become rich. He worked very hard without taking care of his health. When he was old, he finally became rich, but he soon died of bad health. I think his wealth is totally useless. This is why health is more important than wealth. Without wealth, you can still be healthy. But without health, you cant enjoy wealth. Besides, pursuing health is happy, while pursuing wealth is quite tiresome! So I think we should put health before wealth. 有個(gè)人花了一生時(shí)間追求財(cái)富。 A Good Teacher to Remember（值得懷念的一 位好老師） A comment goes “ Each teacher has his own attraction” . It is really true. I remember all my teachers for different reasons but there is one teacher that is always and will always be apart from the rest. She is Miss Yang my senior high 33 school English teacher, who is truly a teacher among teachers. She came into my life at puberty and instilled in me the will to succeed and always do my best to learn all I possibly can about the world around me. Miss Yang was slim and beautiful, and always had a gracious smile on her face. So it was natural that the first impression she gave me was that she was kind and considerate. Five years has passed, but I can still recall her very first lesson clearly. She played a funny game, which aimed at telling us that she wanted to be our friends. Actually, it was this first lesson that left me a deep impression and made me interest in her class. Since she had just graduated from the university, she knew exactly what we needed and expected. Her class was quite alive and always full of laughter. In such fantastic atmosphere, she explained the language points clearly and enabled us to remember them in a more vivid way.
