Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:

In 1985, the Coca-cola Company made the decision to change the formula of its leading soft drink. The change was based on the findings of many market studies. These studies had shown that the general response to the new product was good. However, the change of the traditional Coca-cola by New Coke was rejected by the majority of drinkers. In fact, the company had to step back and restart production of the old formula of Coca-cola.

The most important reason why New Coke was rejected was the emotional relationship that existed between drinkers and the old soft drink formula. Drinking Coca-cola had become a tradition for many people over its 99 years of existence. The change made by the company was not only in Coke‘s formula but also in the traditional values and memories that it represented to the drinkers. ―We had taken away more than the product Coca-cola. We had taken away a little part of them and their past.‖ The drinkers rejected this ―improvement‖, because ―they believed that Coke stood for traditional value, so they betrayed when the product changed completely overnight‖.

Although a lot of research was done by Coca-cola Company, it didn‘t show the depth of drinker‘s emotion for the product. The studies took many forms, but none of the tests was able to measure the degree of personal and emotional reactions caused by the disappearance of the old, traditional Coca-cola. The weakness of the research was that it was mainly quantitative in form. The result was only numbers that could not show the deep meaning the product had for many people. A more extensive study focusing on the qualitative aspects of the change would perhaps have been able to demonstrate the close relationship existing between drinkers and product.

1. Coca-cola company changed the formula in 1985 because ________.

A) it led the soft drink industry in the market

B) its market studies supported the change in the formula

C) it carried out market research for expansion

D) it simply felt the need to make the change

2. According to the passage, the drinkers rejected New Coke because of ________.

A) the late response to the market by Coca-cola company

B) the reproduction of Coca-cola‘s old drink formula

C) a strong dislike by Coca-cola‘s regular drinkers

D) the emotional relationship between the drinkers and the old soft drink

3. The product Coca-cola was believed to stand for ________.

A) traditional values and good memories

B) traditional customs and happy days

C) past honors and efficient management

D) top quality and wonderful taste

4. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Research by Coca-cola considered emotional factors.

B) Coca-cola did little research before they made the change.

C) Research by Coca-cola was quantitative rather than qualitative.

D) Research by Coca-cola was both quantitative and qualitative.

5. The author of the article clearly indicates that ________.

A) the weakness of the research could have been removed

B) Coca-cola should have measured the quantitative factors more carefully

C) Coca-cola should have done a more extensive qualitative study

D) a slower change of the product might have improved the sales of the company

Passage 2

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage:

Hollywood no longer rules South Korean cinema, which is breaking out all over. Since 1999 Seoul filmmakers have been turning out Asia‘s first critically applauded films, and ―My Wife Is a Gangster‖and ―Phone‖are the most stunningly good examples. In the way Americans tour Hollywood, Asians visit Korea to see sites featured in their favorite movies.

Korea once looked to America for idea, but now the reverse is true. Hollywood is snapping up remake rights to dozens of Korean films. Madonna‘s Maverick Films is remaking the horror film ―Phone‖. And Dream Works recently bought the rights to another horror film ―A Tale of Two Sisters.‖ To capitalize on all the attention, South Korea has moved aggressively to cast itself as the center of Asia‘s film market.

The Seoul government and industry leaders are working to rank the Pusan Film Festival as Cannes (戛纳) East, the festivals where deals get gone, a one – stop place where moviemakers can shop for financing, exports, even location. In preparation for the next Pusan Festival this fall, delegations from Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and all over Asia have been flocking to Seoul to study the Korean film revival. ―We look at Korea with an envious eye,‖ says one of Hong Kong moviemakers, ―Filmmakers and audiences have found a real vibes (i.e. good atmosphere) between them, like in the 1970s and ?80s in Hong Kong.‖

The Korean film industry, however, is still uphill struggle on he way. The annual receipts of Korean films ($ 580 million) are gaining on those of Asia‘s largest film industry: India ($ 820 million) and Japan ($ 1.93 billion). Y et, Seoul financial markets still tend to see movies as cultural venture, rather than a business. As a moviemaking company in Korea, yet KangJeGyu Films had to team up with another filmmaker and an auto-manufacturer in a new company in order to win a listing on the stock market last year.

Despite the restriction, Korean films are capturing a rising share of the local and even Asian markets. The lesson of the Korean revival is that money should be invested both into films and into comprehensive theaters that can sustain a film culture.

6. The following are mentioned in Paragraph 1 EXCEPT ________.

A) ―My Wife Is a Gangster‖ and ―Phone‖ are the most stunningly good movies

B) since 1999 filmmakers in South Korea have begun to attract attention

C) more and more Korean films have been played in the cinemas

D) Korean tourism is more and more prosperous

7. According to the second paragraph, the following statements are true EXCEPT ________.

A) ―A Tale of Two Sisters‖, like ―My Wife Is a Gangster‖, is a horror film

B) the movies have brought South Korea international attention

C) South Korea is paving way for the center of Asia‘s film market

D) Dream Works is one of the largest film companies in America

8. According to the third paragraph, the following statements are true EXCEPT________.

A) some of Asia‘s moviemakers are envious of South Korea

B) the Pusan Film Festival is called as Cannes East

C) a one-stop service is special in the Pusan Film Festival

D) the Hong Kong‘s films were prosperous in the 1970s and 1980s

9. The annual receipts of Korean films ranked as ________ in Asia.

A) the first B) the second

C) the third D) the fifth

10. What will the next paragraph discuss about according to the last paragraph?

B) The films that will be shot.

C) The theaters that are booming.

D) A film culture in South Korea.

and D).

Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:

Y ou don‘t even need to look back twenty years to appreciate the tremendous advances that have been made in science and technology, and how these developments are transforming the lives of millions of people all over the world. Who, for example twenty years ago, would have imagined that the development of microchip technology could! Have been such a deep effect on the way we live each day? Y es, television and radio, cassettes and video, were around in those days, but no one had heard of these wonderful remote-control units that turn equipment on and off when we want, helping us to select our entertainment with a minimum of physical effort. Y es, in the last twenty years, the changes to civilization, as we know it, have been both abundant and significant.

Just think of some of the other remarkable ways in which our daily life has been transformed by this technological revolution! If you feel like a hot meal, just get your favorite prepared food and pop it quickly into the microwave over. Set the timing dial and it‘s ready in minutes! If you need to send someone an urgent message, just write it down and send it through your fax machine. It arrives safely on the other side of the world in seconds. Passenger planes fly directly from England to Australia, and their pilots can even find time to relax as the computers on the aircraft do most of the hard work for them. I can write this news report on my personal computer and correct my work for them.. I can write this news report on my personal computer and correct my work with only a shift of the cursor as I go along. I can store it and rewrite it, if necessary, whenever I wish to. I can even link my computer up to the Internet and send my boss the reports direct from my own home. This all leaves me more time to enjoy myself, as my work and free time seem to blend together. This also explains the remarkable growth that the leisure industry is currently experiencing.

Leisure today is big business, and the choices available to us are almost infinite. Just pop into your nearest travel agent for some brochures, or read the advertisements in your newspaper. How you spend your free time can be easily planned from a comfortable chair in your living room! Look at all the holiday possibilities available—there‘s bound to be something for everyone! Y ou‘ll find holidays to suit all pockets and tastes, whether you‘re thinking of that trip of a lifetime to some distant continent, a two-week walking tour, or and adventure holiday shooting rapids; whether you fancy drinking coffee in a European cafe, or living on a beautiful tropical island.

As robots take over the work of people in industry, as communications across the globe become faster and more sophisticated, and while technology continues to create ways of persuading us to work less and enjoy ourselves more, so will leisure and the leisure industry play a far more central role in the life of us all.

Passage Two

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage:

Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, ―go steady‖ through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three score years and ten.

Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage seldom solves one‘s problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Y oung people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that ―success‖ is the ultimate good, but they erroneously of marriage are essentially have found the true center of life‘s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.

Shall we, then, join the chorus of ―Miseries‖ over early marriage? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must

be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectation, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so are bad ones.

6. According to this article the trend toward early marriages .

A) was the result of the Great Depression of the 1930‘s

B) could not be easily determined

C) is one that could be clearly seen

D) is a result of the emotional maturity of the young

7. The author suggests that many of today‘s early marriages are a result of .

A) escapism B) theological dictum

C) lack of formal education D) convenience

8. More often than not, early marriage will .

A) not affect one‘s problems B) solve a person‘s problems

C) intensify one‘s problems D) ease one‘s problems

9. The author states that the home as an institution is .

A) overrated

B) unworthy of worship

C) a god who can grant every thing that you wish for

D) probably not capable of being what any young people expect it to be

10. Many young people who marry early believe that .

A) their parents have found the true meaning of life

B) they have found the true center of life‘s meaning

C) ―success‖ is the ultimate good

D) to succeed is not at all important

3) 我认为最重要的因素。

Nowadays, the interview has become indispensable in seeking a job. Its success will determine whether or not you will get the job you applied. Then how to succeed in a job interview?

There are many factors involved. According to psychologists, it depends more on the first impression you leave which is half a battle: how you look, how you sound and what you say are of great importance. In the first place, how you look makes up 55% of a first impression. This includes facial expressions, body language, and eye contact, as well as clothing and general appearance. Among those, clothing is the most important to show your respect to the interviewer and to leave the interviewer a good impression in the end. In the second place, how you sound makes up 38% of the first impression. This includes how fast or slowly, loudly or softly you speak. So make sure that you sound friendly, interested, confident and happy in answering any inquires in the interview. Finally, what you say counts for only 7% of the message. Therefore, attach more importance to your appearance and expressions rather than your words.

To conclude, no one can escape from the interview. Remember the above points, and you will succeed in the interview.

Unit 4 Psychology in Daily Life

Section One Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are 2 reading 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).

Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:

Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.

The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it –in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil. Which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.

Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price –a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.

Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, he European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany‘s ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.

1. According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is .

A) to encourage people to use renewable energies

B) to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms

C) to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content to power

D) to talk less but act more

2. The standard of paying tax was .

A) that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would pay

B) that oil would be more expensive than clean coal

C) that renewables would be most expensive of all

D) in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal is the cheapest

3. We can infer from the passage that carbon tax .

A) may not be as effective as people expect

B) has encouraged renewable producers to cut costs

C) has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfully

D) couldn‘t be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden

4. The word ―crippling‖ (Para.3) most probably means .

A) greatly increasing B) seriously weakening

C) sharply declining D) abruptly halting

5. The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly

that .

A) governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious result

B) if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow it

C) governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new tax

D) governments and been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time but they hadn‘t

come to an agreement

1-5 CAABC

Passage Two

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage:

All animals must rest, but do they sleep as we know it? The answer to this question seems obvious. If an animal regularly stops its activities and stays quiet and unmoving—if it looks as though it is sleeping—then why not simply assume that it is in fact sleeping? But how can observers be sure that an animal is sleeping?

They can watch the animal and notice whether its eyes are open or closed, whether it is active or lying quietly, and whether it responds to light or sound. These factors are important clues, but they often are not enough. Horses and cows, for example, rarely close their eyes, and fish and snakes cannot close them. Y et this does not necessarily mean that they do not sleep. Have you ever seen a cat dozing with one eye partly open? Even humans have occasionally been observed to sleep standing up, like elephants with their tusks (Note: long teeth of an elephant) resting in the fork of the tree. Finally, while ―sleeping‖ animals often seem unaware of changes in the sounds and light and other stimuli around them, that does not really prove they are sleeping either.

Observations of animal behavior alone cannot fully answer the question of whether or not animals sleep. The answers come from doing experiments in sleep laboratories‖ using a machine called the electroencephalograph (EEG) (Note: An instrument used in the detection and diagnosis of heart diseases). The machine is connected to animals and measures their brain signals, breathing, heartbeat, and muscle activity. The measurements are different when the animals appear to be sleeping from when they appear to be awake.

Using the EEG, scientists have confirmed that all birds and mammals studied in laboratories do sleep. There is some evidence that reptiles, such as snakes and turtles, do not truly sleep, although they do have periods of rest each day, in which they are quiet and unmoving. They also have discovered that some animals, like chimpanzees, cats, and moles (Note: a kind of little animal who lives underground), are good sleepers while others, like sheep, goats, and monkeys, are poor sleepers. Interestingly, the good sleepers are nearly all hunters with resting places that are safe from their enemies. Nearly all the poor sleepers are animals hunted by other animals; they must always be watching for enemies, even when they are resting.

6. The author uses the horse as an example of an animal that .

A) does not sleep at all B) can sleep with eyes open

C) is a poor sleeper D) can sleep standing up

7. The best method to tell if an animal is sleeping is .

A) to observe if its eyes are open

B) to see if it reacts to such stimuli as light and sound

C) to use an EEG

D) to employ both an EEG and observation

8. What can we learn from the passage concerning the EEG?

A) Whether the animal appears awake or not, it should be measured in the same way.

B) With this machine, scientists proved that all birds studied do sleep.

C) The EEG can be carried by studied animals wirelessly to get wanted data.

D) Using the EEG, we can fully believe that reptiles do not truly sleep.

9. Scientists who study sleep think that some animals are poor sleepers because they .

A) have no resting places

B) are always hunted by other animals during sleep

C) cannot awaken fast if an enemy finds them sleeping

D) must observe the surroundings while resting

10. This passage is about .

A) sleeping patterns of animals

B) how animals can sleep well

Section Four Writing

Directions: Urban life means different types of pressure, which affects the quality of our lives a lot.

How to keep ourselves healthy physically and mentally? Write an essay on the topic

"Dealing with Pressure in Life". And you should base your essay on the outline below.

You should write at least 150 words.

1) 现代人要面临各式各样的压力。

2) 压力对人生活的影响。

3) 如何给自己减压，使自己保持健康心态。

Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase all the time.

Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to the decline of one's physical and mental health. So they are always complaining about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of pressure, is what we should desire. Others, on the other hand, argue that pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that propels our progress and contributes to our success.

When stress or pressure does occur, it's important to recognize and deal with it. There are some methods we can try. A large number of physical activities can reduce anxiety. Sharing our stress with others can be enormously helpful. Making time for fun such as listening to music may be good medicine. Sometimes even crying is an efficient way to release pressure.

Unit 6 Food

Section One Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are 2 reading 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).

Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:

Manhattan Island is the oldest and most important of the five boroughs that make up New York City. It is 21.7 kilometers long and 3.8 kilometers wide at its widest point. It contains New York‘s tallest buildings as well as some of the largest schools and colleges, and the most famous financial and theater districts in the United States. It has skyscrapers and Central Park, the old and the new, the best and the worst. It is like no other big city. It is unique.

To understand Manhattan, we must know something of its early history: its early days of Dutch colonists and English settlers; the waves of nineteenth-century European immigrants who arrived at its shores; the African-Americans who moved north after the Civil War; recent immigrants from China and other parts of Asia; and young people who go to New York from all over America. It is a mix of ethnic groups and cultures, successes and failures, hopes and fears.

The United States is a nation of immigrants and no other city displays this fact as well as New York City. From Chinatown and Little Italy to Harlem, New York is a place where communities take pride in retaining their ethnic ity. Most immigrants went to America with very little money. They were the poor and unhappy in their own countries. America gave them hope and a new beginning. Millions of immigrants have prospered in America.

On July 4, 1884, the people of France gave to the United States as a symbol of friendship, a statue sculptured by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. This statue was placed on an island in New York Harbor. It is 46 meters high and is the first sight immigrants see as they come into New York City by ship. It is known as the Statue of Liberty. On the statue is a poem written by Emma Lazarus. This poem sums up the American tradition of accepting people from other countries. It follows:

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

1. What is the first landmark people on incoming ships see as they enter New York Harbor?

A) Chinatown. B) Central Park.

C) Harlem. D) The Statue of Liberty.

2. Emma Lazarus‘ poem says that America is a place ________.

A) where poor and unfortunate people are welcome

B) where there is liberty for people coming from other parts of the world

C) where there is garbage and litter on the shore

D) where there is a big light people can get together

3. Manhattan is _________.

A) an island in the Pacific Ocean B) a borough of New York City

C) often called Litter Italy D) another name for City of New York

4. Statue of Liberty is ________.

A) a gift from the people of France

B) a huge statue in Central Park

C) a symbol of justice

D) a chapter in the Constitution of the United States

5. New York City is ________.

A) the only big city with a Chinatown B) the largest city in the world

C) home to many ethnic groups D) the richest city on earth

1-5 DABAC

Passage Two

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage:

The camel is a slow-moving creature. But what it lacks in speed it gains in endurance. This veritable beast of burden can walk 30 miles a day carrying a load that weighs half a ton.

The kangaroo, with its long, muscular hind legs, is a marvel of fitness. Weighing about 200 pounds, it can thrust its heavy body into the air and clear a fence nine feet high. While airborne, this leaping athlete uses its thick tail as both a counterbalance and a steering wheel.

Never underestimate the strength of an insect. The tiny ant can move a burden 50 times its weight. And the brawny bee, when tied to a small load on wheels, is able to haul up to 300 times its own weight.

The elephant is a monument to muscles. Its trunk alone, which can do everything from pulling out a tree to delicately picking up a pin, contains about 70 times the number of muscles in your body.

One of the world‘s longest leapers is the flea: it can jump 13 inches — about 350 times its own length. For a person six feet tall, this would be like jumping approximately 2,000 feet, or seven football fields. No one yet has leaped even as much as 30 feet.

A seemingly inexhaustible jumper is the Oriental rat flea: it can jump 600 times an hour for three whole days without stopping.

The fastest muscle movement ever recorded belongs to the mighty midge. This tiny, agile insect can beat its wings 133,000 times a minute, about 100 times faster than a human can blink an eye — which takes all of one twenty fifth of a second.

By land, air or sea, birds are masters of motions. The ostrich outruns any animal on two legs, carrying its 300-pound body at 30 miles an hour. The flight of the Indian bird sometimes exceeds 100 mph. And the gentoo penguin, by at least one account, can swim 22 mph. At this speed, the penguin keeps pace with one of the fastest-swimming marine mammals, the dolphin.

6. It can be learned from the passage that ________.

A) the camel cannot cover 30 miles a day with a heavy load

B) the kangaroo cannot jump high with its heavy body

C) the elepha nt‘s trunk is both flexible and mighty

D) the brawny bee has incredible strength when it is fastened to a tree

7. Which of the following figures is NOT correct?

A) The weight of a normal kangaroo is about 200 pounds.

B) The flea is the world‘s greatest hi gh jumper.

C) No one can jump 30 feet so far.

D) The oriental rat flea can jump for three days nonstop.

8. The fastest muscle movement champion belongs to a kind of ________.

A) marine mammal B) huge-tailed animal

C) mighty beast D) small insect

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

A) an animal‘s size decides its physical power

B) human beings can hardly jump as high as fleas

C) ostrich is kind of bird

D) the penguin swims faster than the dolphin

10. It seems that the author of this passage intends to ________.

A) compare animals with human athletes

B) introduce some gifted animal athletes

C) show the underestimated strength of some animals

D) demonstrate the law of ―survival of the fittest‖

Unit 7 Culture

Section One Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are 2 reading 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).

Passage One

Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage:

Early in the development of agriculture, men discovered how to make alcoholic drinks from grapes and corn. The ancient Egyptians drank both wine and beer, and the Greeks carried on a lively trade in wine throughout the Mediterranean. The vines of grapes are all of a single species, Vitis vinifera, although there are hundreds of varieties adapted to different soils and climates.

Wine is the fermented juice of fresh grapes. The juice of the wine grape contains sugar, and the yeast converts the sugar to alcohol, when there is no air present, by process called fermentation. Red wine is made from dark grapes, and white wine from white grapes or from dark grapes whose skins have been removed from the wine press at an early stage.

The most famous wine-growing countries are France, Germany and Italy. Wine was made in England in the Middle Ages, but the climate is not really suitable for grapevines. Wines must be drunk quickly once they are opened, otherwise bacteria will use the air to convert the alcohol to vinegar. The bacteria are killed by a higher alcohol content than is found in wine and that is why sherry and port, the specialties of Spain and Portugal, are fortified by the addition of spirits to make them last longer.

Beer is made from sprouting barley grains (malt), which is fermented with yeast to produce alcohol; hops are added for flavour. Ale, the most common drink in England in the Middle Ages, was also made from barley, but without hops; the ale of today is merely a type of beer. In Japan, beer is made from rice.

Spirits have a higher alcoholic content than beer and wine and are made by distillation from a base of grain or some other vegetable. Gin and Vodka can be distilled from a variety of ingredients, including potatoes; gin is flavoured with juniper berries. Scotch whisky is obtained from a base of fermented barley, and brandy from the distillation of wine. Rum is derived from sugar cane by fermentation of molasses, a by-product in refining sugar. Cider is made from apples. South American Indians make alcoholic drinks from cactus leaves and the shoots of certain palm trees.

1. The earliest alcoholic drinks were made from ________.

A) rice and potatoes B) grapes and corn

C) grains and barley D) apples and berries

2. The colour of the red wine comes mainly from ________.

A) the juice of wine grapes B) the juice of red grapes

C) the skin of wine grapes D) the skin of dark-coloured grapes

3. ―Fermentation‖ in the second paragraph refers to ________.

A) a container to keep air from entering the wine

B) a kind of yeast to change sugar into alcohol

C) a method to produce wine through chemical reactions

D) a machine to obtain juice from grapes

4. The purpose of using hops is to ________.

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪，最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译：时间真是不好对付，既难以控制好，又很容易浪费掉，当你向前看时，你觉得你的时间用不完。例如，在一个学期的开始，你或许觉得你有许多时间，但到学期快要结束时，你会突然发现时间快用光了，你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完，这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢？控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译：时间是危险的，如果你控制不了时间，时间就会控制你，如果你不能让时间为你服务，它就会起反作用。所以，你必须成为时间的主人，而不是它的奴仆，作为刚入学的大学生，妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译：时间是珍贵的，浪费时间是个坏习惯，这就像毒品一样，你越浪费时间，就越容易继续浪费下去，如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会，你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译：抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间，不要把事情推到明天或是下周，在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

新一代大学英语综合教程1 英语课文翻译

新一代大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译 UNIT 1 2、Indeed, we might feel as if we are suddenly awash in friends. Yet right before our eyes, we're also changing the way we conduct relationships. Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a phone.Smaller circles of friends are being partially eclipsed by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Amid these smaller trends, growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society? Perhaps to a dark place, one where electronic stimuli slowly replace the joys of human contact.确实如此，我们似乎感到突然之间好友数量井喷。不过，我们眼前也正在改变为人处世的方式。面对面的聊天正在被短信取代；相比打个电话，人们甚至更愿意使用这些电子交流方式。脸谱网上的熟人圈儿动辄数百人，相比之下，现实生活中规模较小的朋友圈则显得黯淡少光。在这些较细微的趋势中，越来越多的研究表明友谊的整个概念正在遭受危机，而我们也许正在一步步地迈向这个危机时代。所有这一切要把现代社会引向何方？也许现代社会就此陷入黑暗深渊，在这个深渊里，人与人之间交往的乐趣慢慢地被电子诱惑所取代。 8、No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, say, or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others. How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job?当然，这并不是某个人的错。如今，交友压力来自方方面面。比如来自工作压力，或是整天瞎忙，无法和他人享有高质量的沟通时间。有人嘴上说友谊是生命中最重要的东西，却为了一份收入颇丰的工作远赴千里之外。这样的人还少吗？ 9、Of course, we learn how to make friends — or not — in our most formative years, as children. Recent studies on childhood, and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships, are illuminating. Again, the general mood is one of concern, and a central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called "unstructured time."当然，我们是在性格成型的最重要的孩提时期学会如何结交朋友或是如何断交。最近，关于儿童期和儿时生活对交友的影响的研究很有启发性。这些研究再一次关注了风气这个问题，其主要结论都与孩子缺少“计划外时间”有关。10、Structured time results from the way an average day is parceled up for our kids — time for school, time for homework, time for music practice, even time for play. Yet too often today, no period is left unstructured. After all, who these days lets his child just wander off down the street? But that is precisely the kind of fallow time so vital for deeper friendships. It's then that we simply "hang out," with no tasks, no

作文翻译 Unit 1 李明是学化学的，性格开朗幽默，颇有魅力，但英语成绩不佳，每次只能勉强及格。老师警告他，英语不好会阻碍他拿奖学金，并亮出了自己的王牌：如果李明不努力，就让他考试不过关。老师还告诉他，学习英语不能只为了文凭，否则他即使大学毕业，也还是个半文盲。李明虽然保持镇定，但他明白，他的学业生涯正在攸关之际，必须安心下来埋头学习，坚持不懈。 Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship. What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would flunk him. He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his diploma. otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was at stake. Unit2 我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育，既美丽又端庄，三十好几依然没有人向她求婚。究其原因，她的事业心极强，整日扑在工作上，每天来往于住处和公司之间，根本没有时间和异性交往。一想到女儿这么大了还单身一人，她父母就焦虑不安。他们不知道该如何是好，甚至还去咨询一些社会学专家。 但是事情在上个月出现了转机，公司的总部调琳达到培训部。在新的工作岗位上，琳达遇到了第一个触动她心弦的男人。从此，他们几乎每天约会，琳达意识到她会不顾一切地爱这个男人。决定嫁人的时候，她告诉了我这个好消息。 虽然琳达的爱情让人想起电影中才会有的浪漫故事，我也担忧未来究竟会怎样，但我还是表达了我由衷的祝福，并爽快答应在婚礼那天做他们的伴娘和伴郎随从中的一员。 Linda, my good friend, has received good education and is both beautiful and elegant. She was not proposed to even when she was well over thirty. The reason is that she, as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted with some sociologists. But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post, Linda met a man who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me. Though Linda’s love is reminiscent of the romance that we see only in movies and I don’t know what the future will hold for her, I give her my heart-felt wishes and agree readily to be a member of the entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen.
