1、People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a

private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的）communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.

(1)、The home matters greatly to Englishmen. A

A：T B：F

(2)、The British can own private space like the house and the garden. A

A：T B：F

(3)、According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means you want

to tell others the space belongs to you. A

A：T B：F

(4)、The man opposite to the writer showed that he owned the whole table by reading a book. B

A：T B：F

(5)、The writer tried to get back his space by moving the case off the table. B

A：T B：F

2、In the water around New York city is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.

As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want, they can then walk up 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.

C：Eiffel

3、Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a

professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.

In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was

a Jew.

(11)、The main idea of Paragraph 1 is ___C___.

(12)、According to the American university president, __D____.

A：everyone understands Einstein's theory today

B：Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in history

C：The theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyone

A：during World War I

大学英语第三阶段参考答案

大学英语（二）第三阶段 一、阅读理解 1. How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the ori gin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike ani mals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, a ctions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and t hat later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Thos e sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they b ring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by exp erience; 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 mo re the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also expres s these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emoti ons. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary sty le. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his mea ning in words which sing like music and which by their position and asso ciation can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our w ords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech sil ly and vulgar. 纠错 (1) (4分)The origin of language is _________. A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved 答案D 解析(2)

1. Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3,000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death. Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised. First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent . Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth. 1. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____. A. traffic accidents B. smoking-related diseases C. murder D. all of these 2. Every day there are over _____young people who will become regular smoker. A. 75 B. 23 C. 30 D. 3,000 3. By "dropout" (in paragraph 3) the author means______. A. students who failed the examination

新视野大学英语3期中考试B卷

Part II. Reading Comprehension (20 points) Passage One As we consider what makes one man better than the other, let’s look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healthy body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He chose the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that he’s out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercises and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have when they need. On the other hand, the second man is something less than the successful person the first man is. What’s wrong with him? Good sense is the ability to know what is true or right from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the second lacks good sense. However, the person who thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good sense, the first man does not have an advantage over the second in this respect. The second man has a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well. The second man runs into trouble, because he directs his thought along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does. When you consider what you want out of life, think about the results of your decisions. Apply your mind well so that good things will come about and so that you are not left regretting your actions. 21. During his university years, the first man ________. A. scheduled his time to get everything done. B. learned how to apply his mind rightly. C. ate right and did exercise regularly. D. chose things that made him successful later. 22. The first man is fully aware of the good things that will result from _______. A. making good decisions during one’s unive rsity studies. B. scheduling his time so that he can get everything done. C. taking care of his body with diet and exercise. D. being a successful person with a good family life. 23. One’s ability to judge right or wrong is called _______. A. beneficial consideration B. thought direction C. successful thinking D. good sense 24. To keep from wishing you made a different choice, you should ________. A. get more out of life B. develop more good sense
