三、阅读理解（每题1.5分，共30分）

When we talk about getting online, we mean being connected to the Internet--a giant network of computers that connects people and information all over the world.

The Internet has a lot in common with other forms of communication:

Like the U.S. Postal Service, the Internet allows anyone who knows your Internet address to send you a letter. (It's called electronic mail, or e-mail for short).

Like the telephone, the Internet allows you to "chat" with other people by participating in online discussion groups.

Like the library, the Internet contains information on almost any topic you can imagine in many formats, including books, articles, videos, and music recordings.

Like the newspaper, the Internet can give you new information every day, including world news, business, sports, travel, entertainment, and ads.

In addition to words, one part of the Internet--the World Wide Web (often shortened to WWW or the Web)--is especially interesting to people because it includes pictures and sounds.

A computer that is connected to the Internet allows you to turn your home, community center, local library, or school into a place of unlimited information and communication. The Internet can help your family:

Find educational resources, including up-to-the minute news, copies of important documents and photos, and collections of research information on topics ranging from weather conditions to population statistics.

Get help with homework through online encyclopedias and other reference materials and access to experts.

Increase reading skills by providing access to interesting materials and suggestions for additional reading.

Improve technology and information skills necessary to find and use information, solve problems, communicate with others, and meet a growing demand for these skills in the workplace.

Connect with places around the world to exchange mail with electronic pen pals and learn about other cultures and traditions.

Why do Westerners love their pets so much, almost as if they were their children?

I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many children's books in England and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child, and my wife and I read some of the same animal stories to my boys when they were small, and now they read animal stories to their children. Some are the same stories about dogs and cats and rabbits and horses. So children in America grow up with good feelings toward animals. Many families would like to have a purebred dog or cat, that is an animal whose parents come from a single kind of animal. But purebred animals are expensive. And those that are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a family's first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a humane society which cares for animals that are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years my wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost.

But some families do not want a house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or cat. So the animal stays outsides the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder parts of North America.

1. Why do Western people love their pets so much?

A. Because their children don't have many friends.

B. Because they have leisure time and enough money.

C. Because they are influenced by animal stories.

D. Because they regard pets as their children.

2. Since they have heard a lot of animal stories, American children tend to .

A. love animals when they grow up

B. treat animals rudely

C. live with animals

D. dislike animals

3. A purebred dog refers to a dog .

A. which is brought up by one family

B. whose parents come from the same area

C. whose parents belong to the single kind of dog

D. which is bred in a pure house

4. How do most Americans get their first pet?

A. They buy it from a pet shop

B. They pick up one from the street

C. They always get one from the animal shelter

D. They get it from their friends

5. Not all pets stay with their masters in the house all the time for .

A. it's good for them to stay outside

B. people think they are dirty

C. Some people don't want a house dog or a house cat

D. they don't like to stay in their masters' house

( 三)

Advertising is necessary as a means of selling products. A product will not sell well if no one knows about it, no matter how good it is. Advertising is the best method of telling large numbers of people about what a business firm has for sale.

In talking about advertising, one should not describe it only in terms of advertisement in newspapers or on TV. In its widest sense, advertising includes a lot of other activities such as holding exhibitions and displaying products in show windows. Advertising is also a source of information for consumers. Through an advertisement you can learn what product is available, where to buy it, and how much it costs. Sometimes you can learn the features of different brands of a product. You can also learn how to use and care for it.

People usually think that the aim of a manufacturer is merely to produce goods. Nowadays, more and more people have come to realize that production of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price. We now live in a world of keen competition. It is essential that we go out trying to sell what we have on offer. In this respect, advertising plays an important role.

1.Generally speaking, a product sells well for lots of reasons EXCEPT .

A. good quality

B. fair price

C. good advertisements

D. misleading ads

2.Which of the following advertisements can NOT be considered good ad?

A. That which acts as a source of information for consumers

B. That which makes it easy for consumers to learn the feature of different brands

C. That which results in keen competition

D. That which allows a consumer to learn how to use and care for it

3.From the passage we know the world that we now live in is a world .

A. of keen competition

B. trapped in fraud

C. that lacks friendship

D. full of friendship

4.We can infer from the passage that .

A. the more a manufacturer produces, the bigger their profits

B. the more a manufacturer advertises, the bigger their profits

C. the better a product sells, the bigger the manufacturer's profits

D. the better the products, the bigger the manufacturer's profits

5.All EXCEPT benefit from advertising.

A. producers and consumers

B. the media

C. newspaper readers

D. the babies

( 四)

In the 90's and beyond, the basic concept of health care is a simple one: take charge of your own life. You must be responsible for your own physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and social well-being.

In the past, medicine was concerned mainly with treating diseases and improving living conditions. However, through scientific and technological progress, many diseases have been eliminated and others that were once fatal are now easily diagnosed and treated. Once dreaded infectious diseases are now usually curable. Syphilis was once one of the most feared diseases, but now it is easily treated. Appendicitis, once fatal, is now considered minor surgery.

These rapid advances in medicine and technology, as well as many others, have led to a change in the traditional concept of health. In the past this concept was that you are healthy as long as you are not sick. However, today, the World Health Organization's definition of health is "not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being." In the 90's, our view of health includes the physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions.

A person must be responsible for his or her own well-being. To achieve optimum health, you must take charge of your own life. You can do more for your own health than doctors can. In our rapidly developing economy, the health challenges we face are lifestyle-related diseases, such as heart disease, obesity, and certain cancers, as well as emotional disorders. The key to preventing these diseases is to change unhealthy lifestyles and habits and maintain healthy ones. Prevention is always better than treatment, and to do so, you need to know how to take an active role in managing your health, creating a healthy lifestyle, and coping with illness and stress. However, you, and only you, can decide that you need to make the necessary changes in your life.

1. According to the passage, medicine was mainly concerned with treating diseases and improving living condition .

A. in the 90s

B. before the 90s

C. during the 90s

D. beyond the 90s

2. Which of the following can best express the author's idea?

A. Health care is simple.

B. Doctors play a more important role in health care.

C. We should be responsible for our own health.

D. We are healthy as long as we are not sick.

3. According to the passage we can safely say that the removal of the appendix .

A. is still a fatal operation

B. can be done by psychologists

C. is a kind of minor operation

D. can be done by a kind of physician

4. From the passage the concept of health doesn't involve .

A. an unhealthy lifestyle

B. a state of mental well-being

C. the absence of disease

D. a good condition of spirit

5. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The concept of health is different from what it was.

B. Some diseases, which were hard for doctors to cure, are now easily treated.

C. Heart disease is related to one's lifestyle.

D. We faced fewer challenges in maintaining health.

大学英语2课文译文

Unit 1 A heated discussion about whether men are braver than women is settled in a rather unexpected way. The dinner party Mona Gardner I first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down. The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda. A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't. "A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts." The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table. His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?" The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut. "You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control." "Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?" A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."

南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译（1~10） 第一单元 你去过古玩店吗？如果你能像买家那样博学，你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。 幸运的发现 古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉，阴暗，杂乱无章，迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆放在地面上的，一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。 无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。 我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满了陶器，而且大部分都已破碎。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。 第二单元 无论是男人、女人还是儿童，都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。 时装流行的原理 时尚一直在变化和发展。时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。这些时尚原理保持不变。尽管时尚在变，但是这些原理却不变。他们是识别和预测时尚流行趋势的坚实基础。时尚流行的基本原理包括以下几条： 1．时尚的流行一般采取渐进的方式，很少采取突变的方式。时尚通常从一种风格逐渐地向另一种风格进化，是进化式的，而不是快速地变化。这一点经常可以从女裙长度的变化中得到体现。在一个季节中人们不希望裙子的长度有较大的变化。一般裙长要在几个季节甚至几年时间里缓慢地增加或减少。在20世纪50年代后期以及以后的10年里，裙子的长度开始以每年约1英寸的速度缩短，直至变成20世纪60年代后期的超短式样。在整个70年代，裙子的长度又逐渐增加。 2．消费者创造时尚。是消费者通过接受一种款式而抛弃另一种款式来决定流行的时尚，而不是设计师或制造商。尽管设计师、制造商、销售商可以促进或减缓新时尚的流行，但最终对时尚的接受与否还要取决于消费者。 3．价格不会影响时尚的流行。时尚的流行与否并不取决于价格。尽管一个新款式推出的价格会很高，但很快会有各种价格变化。一件向设计师定做的服装售价可能会高达几千美元，但是一旦此款式被仿制并以成衣批量生产，就会出现不同的价格以适合不同层次消费者的要
