Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:

One sunny Sunday in Chicago, several former classmates, who were good friends in school, gathered for lunch, having attended their high school reunion the night before. They wanted to hear more about what was happening in one’s lives. After a good deal of kidding, and a good meal, they settled into an interesting conversation.

Angela, w ho had been one of the most popular people in the class, said, ―Life sur e turned out differently than I thought it would when we were in school. A lot has changed.‖ ―It certainly has,‖ Nathan echoed. They knew he had gone into his family’s business, whic h had operated pretty much the same in the local community for as long as they could remember. So they were surprised when he seemed concerned. He asked, ―But, have you notice how we don’t want to change when things change?‖

Carlos said, ―I guess we resist changing because we’re afraid of change.‖ ―Carlos, y ou were Captain of the football learn,‖ Jessica said. ―1 never thought I’d hear you say anythi ng about being afraid!‖

They all laughed as they realized that although they had gone off in different directions-from working at home to managing companies—they were experiencing similar feelings.

Everyone was trying to cope with the unexpected changes that had been happening them in recent years. And most admitted that they did not know a good way to ham them. Then Michael said, ―I used to be afraid of change. When a big change came along our business, we didn’t know what to do. So we didn’t do anything differently and we most lost ii.‖

―That is,‖ he continued, ―until I heard a funny little story that changed everything.‖

―How so?‖ Nathan asked.

―Well, the story changed the way I looked at change—from losing something to gaining something and it showed me how to do it. After that, things quickly improved at work and in my life.‖ a dded he, ―Then I realized I was re ally annoyed with myself for not seeing the obvious and doing what works when things change.‖

Passage T wo

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

―You’re trying to control my life,‖ says my nine-year-old son. ―I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.‖ I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, ―You let him have his way from the beginning.‖

It’s true; I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, f ound out how he felt about things—treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the country.

It’s not just that we’re confused by the con tradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised—to try something more liberal than our parents’ ―do it because I say so‖ approach—our generation has gone too far. ―Today’s parents want to be yo ung, so they try to be friends with their children,‖ says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator.

―When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,‖ says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. ―We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.‖

Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. ―By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how t o behave properly,‖ he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.

Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in the children’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.

Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend -and is proud of it. ―I don’t negotiate with them. You can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.‖

6. The author’s way of treating her son ________.

A) is shared by many parents

B) is encouraged by her mother

C) proves to be quite successful

D) shows little concern for the child

7. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A) parents should learn to make friends with their children

B) parents need to follow the advice of parenting books

C) today’s children enjoy more freedom than the previous generation

D) today’s parents are better at rai sing children than previous generation

8. According to the passage, to have ―discipline‖ means that parents should ________.

A) adopt the ―do it because I say so‖ approach

B) teach their children to understand the rules

C) negotiate with their children for a decision

D) never allow their children to have their ways

9. If Ronda Radice is the parent who has ―bucked the trend‖, which of the following can also be cited as the example for ―bucking the trend‖?

A) Parents buy whatever their children want.

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment . For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.

Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived dis-tant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.

Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. "I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner - amazing." Such observations reported by visitors to the US arc not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.

The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to "translate" cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word "friend", the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.

1. In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.

A) rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US

B) small-minded officials deserve a serious comment

C) Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors

D) most Americans are ready to offer help

2. It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

A) culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship

B) courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated

C) various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends

D) social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions

3. Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ________.

A) to improve their hard life

B) in view of their long-distance travel

C) to add some flavor to their own daily life

D) out of a charitable impulse

4. The tradition of hospitality to strangers ________.

A) tends to be superficial and artificial

B) is generally well kept up in the United States

C) is always understood properly

D) has something to do with the busy tourist trails

5. What's the author's attitudes toward the American's friendliness?

A) Favorable.B) Unfavorable.

C) Indifferent.D) Neutral.

Passage T wo

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level.

But to everyone's surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.

Five families agreed to let their children play "Macbeth" for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.

But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note: "Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic. "

It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith's way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big-much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time-can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine.

This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core of his success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith's view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, by teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don't know what to do.

The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. "What happened to pursuit?" Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing

effort and the slogan, "There Are No Shortcuts".

As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got around the original ban on his af-ter-school "Macbeth" rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder's "Our Town". When that class finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. "Rafe", she said, "I've never seen Shakespeare done better."

6. It can be learned from the passage that Esquith's students ________.

A) liked the traditional teaching better

B) were relatively poor in intelligence

C) were mainly from immigrant families

D) refused to cooperate with the new teacher

7. At first, Esquith's Shakespeare-teaching ________.

A) won the support of the school authority

B) got slow response from the school authority

C) did not draw attention from the school authority

D) was not allowed by the school authority

A) fail to realize the potential of disadvantaged students

B) fail to introduce fun into the learning of disadvantaged students

C) are reluctant to admit the unfair treatment to disadvantaged students

D) are unaware of the difficulty faced by disadvantaged students

9. Esquith's principle of teaching is different from the general one in that ________.

A) he insists on giving harder lessons to more advanced students

B) he places greater emphasis on hard work in students' learning

C) he pays less attention to students' academic performances

D) he dismisses the concept of extra homework for students

10. What is the main idea of the passage?

A) An inspiring teacher wins the love and respect of his students.

B) An experienced teacher contributes to the school and the students.

C) An innovative teacher makes changes in the students.

D) An optimistic teacher helps build confidence in the students.

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

There's a great story about an old Finnish woman who, without quite realizing it, was using her cell-phone to access the Internet and track her city's public transit system. When asked why she used the wireless Internet so frequently, she replied, "What are you talk ing about? I don't know anything about this wireless Internet stuff. I just know the bus is here. "

Regardless of whether you want to admit it, a lot of us are like that old Finnish woman. When it comes to new mobile applications, many of us do not realize the capability and power that we hold, literally, in hour hands.

What we are looking at today is the mobile Internet in its infancy. Now that using the Internet from home or work has saturated much of society, the next logical step is to be able to use the Net when you are far away from your desktop or laptop. Speech recognition is one way to do this, and there are a number of services, collectively called the "voice Web", that will make this possible. All you do is use a phone or wireless device to call a phone number, and speak commands to an intuitive system. It will then give you the information you're seeking, using either a synthesized voice or an audio file.

In the United States and Europe, the hot technology for wireless devices is called WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which is being considered as the world standard. WAP is supported by major phone companies including Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson, and is simply a means of transmitting information, much like HTML which is a means of communicating on the Internet. Currently, wireless Internet connections may give you news, sports scores, stock quotes, and the weather if you're lucky. But if you've ever used this technology, you know it's slow, costly and doesn't seem worth the time and effort, if it works at all. All of this technology points to easier living. Perhaps you'll need to find a restaurant for an occasional business meeting. You'll press a button on your mobile phone, and access the Internet to pull up a list of great restaurants in your immediate area. You'll hit another button, say a few words into the handset and you've got a reservation for four.

1. The author uses the story of an old Finnish woman to indicate that ________.

A) she is ignorant of some common knowledge

B) public transit system contains the accessory to Internet

C) many people are unaware of the function of the new appliances being used

D) the Internet is experiencing rapid growth

2. The word "saturate" (Para.3) most probably means ________.

A) state B) utilize

C) despise D) fill

3. According to the text, WAP is a ________.

A) technology standard set by major phone companies

B) substitution of HTML which can be applied on the Internet

C) means of exchanging information

D) a software application for transmitting voice over telephone lines

4. We can infer from the passage that the mobile Internet is different from the previous Internet in that the former ________.

A) can be accessed by desktop computers

B) has no need for wire appliances

C) can be used to book a table in a restaurant

D) is equipped with speech recognition systems

5. What is the attitude of the author towards the future of mobile Internet?

A) Indifferent.B) Neutral.

C) OptimistiC) D) Pessimistic.

Passage T wo

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Castles were brought to Britain by William the Conqueror, when he invaded England in 1066 from his homeland in France. One of the most powerful ways for William to take control of his new kingdom, which included England, Scotland and Wales, was to have castles built throughout the land. At first, he ordered the construction of very simple castles, called motte and bailey castles.

These early castles consisted of an earthen mound, topped by a tower built of wood. The bailey was a large area of land enclosed by a shorter fence. Inside the bailey were the main activities of the castle, such as workshops, stables and livestock, household activities, etc., while the tower on the motte was used as the lord's residence and as an observation post. Before long, the earthen castles were replaced by the stone castles, which were much sturdier, did not rot like wood, and also were much more able to withstand any attack by an invader.

From the 11th to 13th centuries the stone castles were booming. They were not just used by the king. Most castles, in fact, were granted by a king to their most loyal knights or barons who fought bravely in battle and supported their king. The king, starting with William the Conqueror, gave his loyal knights vast estates and permission to build castles. In return, he expected these men to control their lands as the king's representative, to keep the local population from rebelling, and to force them to work and pay rent to the lord, who then passed it onto the king. These knights and barons built castles almost everywhere in Britain, served to strike fear into the local peoples, and to symbolize their power and wealth.

By the 15th century the stone castles began declining. For the one thing, military necessity changed in Great Britain. There was less emphasis placed on defense and more on comfort. Earlier stone houses were gradually modified, or abandoned completely and replaced by great houses of a richer and more relaxed style. The development of firearms and the increasing use of gunpowder, for the other one, also ended the castles' endurance.

Despite their decline, many wealthy families of the 18th and 19th centuries fed their passions by naming their newly built houses, "castle" This ill-informed romanticism had its valuable side, which eventually led to concerted efforts to preserve and restore many ruined castles.

Even today, centuries after they were active in British history, the castles of Britain have established themselves firmly in the national and international mindset. Castles have demonstrated

not only the exchanges of the majesty, power and wealth of their noble builders, but also the rise and set of British Empire.

6. The castles originated from ________.

A) France B) England

C) Scotland D) Wales

7. According to the text, "motte" (Para. l) refers to ________.

A) an earthen mound B) a wooden tower

C) a shorter fence D) a larger area

10. Which of the following is true?

A) People don't like the castles any more.

B) Much more new castles are being built.

C) The castles are the most famous buildings in Britain.

D) The castles still have their reputation in the world.

Unit 5 Language

Section One Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are 2 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and

D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the

Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

At present, there are four network firms—China Telecom, China Unicom, China Netcom and China Mobile—that are allowed to operate IP services in China. Each company has its advantages in the following four aspects of services.

1. Charge

As the Ministry of Information Industry co - ordinates, the charges of IP calls of the four companies are the same, 0.30 yuan per minute for DDD calls, 4.80 yuan per minute for IDD calls, 2.50 yuan for calls from the mainland to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and 1.50 yuan from Shenzhen to HK, Zhongshan and Zhuhai to Macao. IP callers don't enjoy discounts on holidays.

2. Range

China Telecom has the widest coverage. All cities in China with telephone access and most countries in the world are open to China Telecom's IP card.

China Unicorn's IP card can reach 29 cities nationwide and more than 130 countries and regions worldwide.

China Nctcom's IP card can reach 14 cities in China and 149 countries and regions in the world.

China Mobile's IP card is open to only 6 cities nationwide but can access more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.

3. Voice quality

China Telecom realizes its IP service by the public Internet, therefore net congestion and voice delay may sometimes disturb conversations. The other three companies have their private data networks, which help to increase transmission speeds and improve voice quality.

4. Other services

China Telecom and China Mobile offer account transfer services. Users can transfer the remaining sum of money on one card to another card.

Netcom links its services with bank cards. One can enjoy IP service without an IP card. Bank card users can make IP phone with their bank card numbers, so they needn't buy new IP cards and remember the new numbers again and again.

As for customer service, China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile provide free hotline service, while Netcom charges for its services.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A) Organizations of the four IP firms.

B) Differences between the four IP firms.

C) Foundation of China's four IP firms.

D) Development of China's four IP firms.

2. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?

A) China Unicom charges IDD calls more than the other three firms.

B) China Mobile's coverage is the least of the four firms.

C) China Telecom accesses many more cities nationwide than the other three.

D) China Netcom is the only one to be allowed to operate IP service.

3. If you want to access more foreign countries and regions with better voice quality, you'd better choose ________ IP card.

A) China Telecom's B) China Mobile's

C) China Netcom's D) China Unicorn's

4. When enjoying IP service, ________.

A) China Mobile users can have their money in one card transferred to another

B) China Telecom users needn't buy new IP cards

C) China Netcom users needn't pay for their hotline service

D) China Unicom users have to pay for their hotline service

5. You can infer from the passage that ________.

A) China Telecom has the widest coverage and the best voice quality

B) you can save money by making IP calls on holidays

C) better voice quality can be expected when making domestic calls than making in ternational

calls

D) network firms seem to be more interested in providing international service

Passage T wo

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking test when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. "Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down. "

These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students. Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work easy. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

An expert at the University of California explains, "With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their

tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great."

6. When Anne Whitney began her college, what happened to her when she was taking a test?

A) She gave wrong answers because of poor preparation.

B) She was too nervous to hold her pencil.

C) Because of test anxiety, there was nothing in her mind.

D) Weeks of preparation might have caused minor brain damage.

7. Because of the extreme nervousness, the student in microbiology ________.

A) can not write or think in a normal way

B) had nothing in his mind during the test

C) always got low grades

D) knew the answers but was unable to write them down

8. The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that ________.

A) students who suffered from test anxiety were thought to be lazy

B) it is a mistake to regard poor grades as lazy students' excuse

C) at present test anxiety has become a widespread problem

D) people knew about test anxiety before, but refused to accept it

9. Which of the following is true about special counseling courses?

A) In the courses, students can naturally relax their bodies.

B) They help students control their tension.

C) They measure students by testing their anxiety.

D) They can help students learn information easily.

10. A University of California counselor said ________.

A) all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program

B) almost all students felt less stressed after taking the counseling course

C) students found it difficult to improve though they had taken a special test anxiety course

D) students found it easy to relax as soon as they started the counseling course

Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature. T Man in the Realm of Nature Alexander Spirkin The text is downloaded from the website: close 1RT Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature. 人在自然界 亚历山大·斯伯金 人类生活在大自然的王国里。他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物，无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。我们与大自然血肉相连，离开大自然，我们将无法生存。close 2RT Man is not only a dweller in nature, he also transforms it. Humanity converts nature's wealth into the means of the cultural, historical life of society. Man has subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society. Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals. 人类不仅生活在大自然之中，同时也在改变着大自然。人类把自然资源转变为各种文化，社会历史的财富。人类降服并控制了电，迫使它为人类社会的利益服务。人类不仅把各种各样的动植物转移到不同的气候环境，也改变了他生活环境的地貌和气候并使动植物因之而发生转变。close 3RT As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows.

《新时代学习大讲堂专题讲座》心得体会 福泉四小李秀梅 4月1日早上九点钟，我认真学习梅宏院士的精准、生动的报告，在学习后有如下感受： 通过大数据，我们能够认识复杂系统的新思维，促进经济转型，提升国家综合能力，保障国家安全等。 所谓大数据，是信息化到一定阶段之后必然出现的一个现象，主要是由于信息技术的不断廉价化，以及互联网及其延伸所带来的无处不在的信息技术应用所带来的自然现象。基本上，大数据有四个驱动力，即摩尔定律所驱动的指数增长模式;技术低成本化驱动的万物的数字化;宽带移动泛在互联驱动的人机物广联连接；云计算模式驱动的数据大规模的汇聚。 那么，到底什么才是大数据呢？这个定义可以从两个角度来谈。从技术能力的视角来说，大数据指的是规模超过现有数据库工具获取、存储、管理和分析能力的数据集，同时并不是超过某个特定数量级的数据集才是大数据。 从数据内涵的视角来说，大数据是具备海量、高速、多样、可变等特征的多维数据集，需要通过可伸缩的体系结构实现高度的存储、处理和分析。 那么，大数据给我们带来什么样的挑战呢？我觉得最重要的，可能是带来思维模式的变化。通过大数据，我们能够认识复杂系统的新思维，促进经济转型，提升国家综合能力，保障国家安全，提升政府的治理能力以及服务民生、服务社会的能力。 这是为什么呢？原因有三点：首先有我们当前对数据认识不到位的原因，还有在当今的情况下大家对大数据都很热衷，使其成为获取资源的一个途径。第二个，是大数据投入过热，资源的浪费比较明显，这方面的投入特别以数据中心的投入最为典型。第三个，就是我们认为大数据的理论和技术都还处于发展的早期，尽管对大数据的定义已经有了共识，但是对它的核心观点和命题还是有很多争议的，比如说大和小到底怎么来定义等等。 此外，对我们做计算领域研究的人来讲，总是希望能够为数据的处
