四、Reading Comprehension（共 4 道试题，共 40 分。）
1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother
didn't use to work
during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring
home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued.
On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England
were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us
to go to the post
office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went
back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she
wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.
England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standing
behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition with ENGLAND WINNERS
on each stamp. We were over the moon.
We still have it today, and perhaps it is worth a lot of money.

2. Hello, new students!
This is a message from the Students Union Committee.
We've been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips.
Don't worry –
we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't forgotten feeling
a little bit
scared.
First, as you know, there are no longer any grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember
that like all loans, you have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a
sensible strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are struggling to make
ends meet, you can get a part-time job–restaurants and bars in the town take lots of students on in the
evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for advice.
Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies societies – they're cheap
and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a great chance to take up a completely new
hobby.
Living in a new city a long way from home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After
all, they are paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself, but
stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend from time to time.
And remember to take your dirty washing!
Finally, remember to work hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or
BSc) throughout your three years here –try to keep things in perspective. You'll always find someone
in the Student Union office if you need to talk.
1). What does the word "scared" mean in the second paragraph?
A. excited
B. frightened
C. worried
D. new
正确答案：B 满分：2 得分：2
2). What does the word "grants" mean in the third paragraph?
A. money given by the government to support the students' study, which they needn't pay
back
B. money from the government which the students need to pay back
C. money from the school which is similar to scholarship
D. a kind of loan from the government with low interests
正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：2
3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, …at weekends" in the third
paragraph implies_________.
A. if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the restaurants and bars
in your
spare time
B. if you want to have a better life than others, you can find a part-time job in your
spare time
C. restaurants and bars need more hands in the evenings and at weekends
D. restaurants and bars don't need more hands in the evenings and at weekends
正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：2
4). From the fifth paragraph, we can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living
faraway from
home, _________.
A. it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone from time to time
B. new students need to do their washing themselves
C. new students should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home
D. new students should stop phoning their parents
正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：2
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
A. telling new students the problems facing them in the university
B. telling new students how to budget their money
C. offering new students some advice about their university life
D. talking new students into joining them
正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2
3. I had two jobs growing up and they all helped shape my life.
When I was about 12, I started caddying (当球童) at a nearby country club. All the kids in the
neighborhood did it, and I liked it a lot. I got to watch people who were generally pretty wealthy.
They were businessmen and doctors. I would listen to them talking about things and see how they
behaved with each other. It was like a fly on the wall at a meeting.
The second job was at a shoe store. I constantly met people from all walks of life and the challenge was
exciting. I'd start bringing them different kinds of shoes and get right down there and put them on
their feet. If they didn't like a certain shoe, I always tried to be thinking ahead to
a pair they might
like better. It was like stepping up to the plate in a baseball game. Every time someone walked into that
store, I was going to bat and taking a swing. I never wanted to let a customer get out of that store
without buying a pair of shoes to his satisfaction.
This job helped teach me an important business lesson: You have to take risks in business.
If you take a
risk and fail, get up to bat and swing again.
1). The author thinks what he has learned from his first job is ____________.
A. how to learn to like a job

5). The business lesson the author gets from selling shoes is ____________.

B. trying every possible way to satisfy a customer
C. never be afraid of taking risks
D. never let go anyone walking into the shop
正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2
4. In the United States, 30 percent of the grown-up population has a “weight problem.”
To many people,
the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going
back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In
those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch
television.
Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average
than
thinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers,
reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people are
more active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicine
found the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost. The more he ran, the greater
was his need for food. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body
fat.
1). What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have?
A. They are too thin.
B. They work too hard.
C. They are too fat.
D. They lose too much body fat.
正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2
2). Based on the information given in this article, suppose there are 500 grown-up Americans,
about how many of them have a weight problem?
A. 30.
B. 50.
C. 100.
D. 150.
正确答案：D 满分：2 得分：2
3). Are there scientific facts to support that eating too much is the cause of the "weight
problem"?
A. Yes, there are plenty of them.
B. Of course, there are facts to show this is true.
C. There are hardly any scientific facts to support this.
D. We don't know because the information is not given.
正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2
4). Compared with the grown-up Americans today, The Americans of 1910 ____________.
A. ate more food and had more physical activities
B. ate less food but had more activities
C. ate less food and had less physical activities
D. had more weight problems
正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：2
5). What have some modern medical and scientific researchers reported to us?
A. Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B. Fat people eat more food and are more active.
C. Fat people eat more food but are less active.
D. Thin people run less but eat more food.

During the 20th century,sea level rose 8-12 inches.As a result,Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water. Paani Laupepa,a Tuvaluan government official,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years.Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol,an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体的排放),which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live

Unit 3 A healthy life Part I Advice from Grandad 爷爷的忠告 Dear James, 1.It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 km in an afternoon. It’s my birthday in two weeks’ time and I’ll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live. 今天这儿的天气很好。现在我正坐在花园尽头的那棵大树底下呢。我刚刚才回来，骑自行车跑了很长一段路，一直到了古城堡。感到惊奇吧，像我这样的年纪，身体健康而且能在一个下午骑车跑20公里。再过两个礼拜就是我82岁的生日了！我想我之所以长寿而且精力充沛，要归功于我的健康生活。 2.This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear grandson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes. 这就是我写信给你的真正原因,我亲爱的孙子。你妈妈告诉我,你不久前开始吸烟了,而且现在很难把它戒掉。相信我吧,我知道,吸烟容易戒烟难。你知道,当我还是一个十几岁的孩子的时候,我也吸过烟,而且还上了瘾。 3.By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally manage. 这儿我想顺便问你一个问题,你知道上瘾有三个方面的原因吗?首先,你会在身体上对尼古丁有瘾,它是香烟里几百种化学物质之一。这就是说,过一段时间以后,你的身体习惯了香烟里的尼古丁,一旦你的体内没有这种麻醉剂了,你就会有断瘾症状,我记得曾感到烦燥、甚至痛苦。其次你也可能因为习惯的原因而上瘾。你知道,如果你反反复复地做同一件事情,你就会自动地做它。最后,你可以心理

Nettles Our farm was small-nine acres. It was small enough for me to have explored every part of it. Each of the trees on the place had an attitude and a presence-the elm looked serene and the oak threatening, the maples friendly, the hawthorn old and crabby. Even the pits on the river flats had their flats had their distinct character. The girls as well as the boys were divided into two sides. Each girl had her own pile of balls and was working for paticular soldiers, and when a soldier fell wounded he would call out a girl’s name, so that she could drag him away and dress his wounds as quickly as possible. I made weapons for Mike, and mine ws the name he called. There was a keen alarm when the cry came, a wire zinging through your whole body, a fanatic feeling of devotion. When Mike was wounded he never opened his eyes. He lay limp and still while I pressed slimy large leaves to his forehead and throat and-pulling out his shirt-to his pale tender stomach, with its sweet and vulnerable belly button. One morning, of course, the job was all finished, the well capped, the pump reinstated, the fresh water marvelled at. And the truck did not come. There were two fewer chairs at the table for the noon meal. Mike and I had barely looked at each other during those meals. He liked to put ketcup on his bread. His father talked to my father, and the talk was mostly about well, accidents, water tables. A serious man. All work, my father said. Yet- he-Mike’s father-ended nearly every speech with a laugh. The laugh had a lonely boom in it, as if he were still down the well. Sunny and I had been friends in Vancouver years before. Our pregnancies had dovetailed, so that we had managed with one set of maternity clothes. In my kitchen or in hers, once a week or so, distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep, we stoked ourselves up on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out on a rampage of talk about our marriages, our personal deficiencies, our interesting and discreditable motives, and our forgone ambitions. We read Jung at the same time and tried to keep track of our dreams. During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman’s mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and “The Cocktail Party”. He had slept in the guest bedroom the night before but tonight he’d moved downstairs to the fold-out sofa in the front room. Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmarking and making up again the bed he had left for me. Lying in those same sheets did not make for a peaceful night. I knew that he wouldn’t come to see, no matter how small the risk was. It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends. And how could he be sure that it was what I wanted? Or that it was what he really wanted? Even I was not sure of it. Up till now, I had always been able to think of myself as a woman who was faithful to the person who she was sleeping with at any given time. My sleep was shallow, my dreams monotonously lustful, with irritating and unpleasant subplots. All night-or at least whenener I woke up-the crickets wre singing outside my windows. At first I thought it was birds. I had lived in cities long enough to have forgotten how crickets can make a perfect waterfall of noise. The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable, but close up there were little openings, the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made. The ground sloped slightly downward, and we could see a bit of the river. The water was steel gray, and lookedto be rolling. Between it and us there was a meadow of weeds, all in bloom-goldenrod, jewelweed with its red-and-yellow bells, and what I thought were flowering nettles with pinkish-

现代大学英语精读6课文翻译 1如何使我们不为穷人的存在而内疚 约翰·肯尼斯·高伯瑞(加尔布雷斯) 1.我很愿意严肃地考虑一种人类最古老的活动，这项活动持续了多年，实际上已经超过了几个世纪，那就是尝试怎样使我们不为穷人的存在而内疚。 2.贫穷和富有从一开始就共生在一起，彼此很不愉快有时还充满危险。普鲁塔克曾说，“贫富失衡乃共和政体最致命的宿疾。”富有和贫穷持续共存产生的问题，特别是如何证明在其 他人还贫穷时我们富有是有道理的这一问题，成为有思想有学问的人几百年来孜孜不倦地思 考探索的问题。直至当代状况依然如此。 3.《圣经》提出了最初的解决之道，在现世遭受贫穷的人来世会得到更好的回报。他们的贫穷是暂时的灾难，如果贫穷但却能顺从，他们将来就会成为世界的主人。在某种程度上这就是最理想的解决办法。由此，富人就可以一边嫉妒穷人的美好前途一边享受他们的财富。 4.很长时间之后，即在1776年《国富论》发表的二三十年之后——在英国工业革命开始 之后，贫富不均的问题及其解决办法开始具有了现代的形式。杰罗米·边沁，这位与亚当·斯密几乎是同时代的人，提出了这样一种准则，在某种程度上，美国人认为这一准则在英国几 乎50年来一直影响显著。这就是实用主义学说。“通过实用的原则，”边沁在1789年指出，“也就是通过这一原则来赞成或否定任何一种应运而生的看来似乎必定会增加或减少政党 幸福的行为或做法，尽管政党的利益总是在讨论之中。”实用，实际上一定是以自我为中心的。然而，社会中只有少数人拥有大量财富，却有更多人没有财富。只要遵循边沁的话—— “最大的利益给最多的人”，就能够解决社会问题。社会尽力满足更多的人，人们接受对于 很多利益没被满足的人来说，结果极其不幸。 5.在19世纪30年代，一种新的准则成为使我们不为穷人的存在感到内疚的有效办法，迄今为止它的影响也丝毫没有减弱。这是与股票家大卫·李嘉图和T·R·马尔萨斯神父联系 在一起的。它的本质很为人们所熟悉，穷人的贫穷是他们自己的错误。贫穷是他们过度生育 的结果。很遗憾，他们不能控制性欲，过度生育把地球具有的养活人口的能力推向极限。 6.这就是人口论。生育引起的贫穷意味着富人不应该为贫穷的产生和解决承担责任。然而，马尔萨斯本人并不是缺乏责任感的人，他极力主张婚姻的仪式应该包括对过度或不负责任的 性生活的警告——公平地讲，是一种警告，因为它还没有被看做是一种完全有效的控制生育 的方法。在近代，罗纳德·里根曾经说过控制人口的最佳形式存在于市场。(热恋中的夫妇应该上梅西百货公司，而不是回到新房。)应该说，马尔萨斯的建议至少沾点边。 7.19世纪中叶，一种新的解决这一问题的方案产生了很大影响，在美国影响尤其强烈。 这一学说与赫伯特·斯宾塞的名字联系在一起，就是社会学中的进化论。在经济生活中如同在生物进化过程中一样，主导的规律是适者生存。“适者生存”这个短语实际上并不出自查 尔斯·达尔文，而是出自斯宾塞，后者表达了对经济生活的看法。穷人被淘汰是大自然种族 进化的方式。弱的、不幸的人灭亡了，人类家庭的质量就会提高。 8.最著名的美国达尔文社会进化论的发言人之一约翰·洛克菲勒一一第一个洛克菲勒一一 在一次著名的演讲中说，“美国这朵玫瑰花以其华贵与芳香让观众倾倒，赞不绝口。而她之 所以能被培植出来，就是因为在早期其周围的花蕾被掐掉了。在经济生活中情况亦是如此。
