The First Bicycle 第一辆自行车

The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years.自行车的历史可以追溯到两百多年前。In 1791，Count de Sivrac delighted onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention ，a machine called the celeriferé.1791年，西夫拉克伯爵在巴黎的一个公园里向众人展示并炫耀了自己的发明，一架被称作“celerifere”的双轮车。It was basically an enlarged version of a children’s toy which had been in use for many years.它主要就是一个使用了很多年的儿童玩具的扩大版。Sivracs "celeriferé had a wooden frame，made in the shape of a horse ，which was mounted on a wheel at either end.西夫拉克的“celerifere”有一个马形状的木框，两端分别装有一个轮子。To ride it ，you sat on a small seat ，just like a modem bicycle ，坐上一个小座位便可以骑了，就像骑现在的自行车一样，and pushed hard against the ground with your legs—there were no pedals. 但双脚要使劲蹬地——因为没有脚踏板。It was impossible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes，but despite these problems the invention very much appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris.操纵方向和刹车也是不太可能的，尽管有这些问题，这个发明在当时还是吸引了许多巴黎时尚的年轻人。Soon they were holding races

up and down the streets.很快他们便举行了比赛，在街上到处骑。

Minor injuries were common as riders attempted a final burst of speed. 当骑手尝试最后冲刺时，受到一些小伤是很普遍的事情。Controlling the machine was difficult ，as the only way to change direction was to pull up the front of the "celeriferé"and turn it round while the front wheel was spinning in the air.控制那台机器是很难的，改变行驶方向的唯一方法是拉起车前身，当前轮还在空中打转时掉转车头。 "Celeriferés" were not popular for long ，however ，as the combination of no springs ，no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. 然而这种木制双轮车并没有流行很长时间，结合了没有弹簧、没有方向舵，以及遭遇不平整路段等问题，木制的双轮车骑起来十分不舒服。Even so，the wooden celeriferé was the origin of the modem bicycle.尽管如此，这种木制的“celerifere”还是现在自行车的始祖。

8. C hold races 在这里是"举行赛跑"的意思，其他选项不合题意。

9. C 人们在最后冲刺的时候，受点小伤是很常见的。只有 wound 和 injury 有"受伤，伤害"的意思，wound 做名词一般指"伤口，受伤的地方" ，injury 指"小伤"，为正确答案。

10. D 此处表示"最后猛一冲刺" ，一定是速度很快，除了 B 选项之外的三个选项都有"速度" 之意，velocity" 速率，速度"，为科学用语，pace“步调，步法”，speed" 速度"，是常用词，故选D。

ll. A 此处的意思是"改变方向"，并不是要改变路线，只有 A 选项符合题意。

12. C 想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转，turn round 为惯用搭配，意为"旋转，掉转" ，roll 和 revolve 本身就有"旋转"的意思，后面不需加 round。

13. D 这四个选项都有"转圈"的意思，cycle"循环，骑自行车" ，circle"旋转，环绕移动"，wind

"缠绕，上发条",spin"自旋，纺纱"，此处主语为 wheel ，轮子在空中一定是"自旋"，因此选D。

14. C 四个选项都有"综合"的意思，mixture 表示 "混合，混合物" ，link" 连接，结合"， combination"结合，组合，联合" ，union"联盟，联合"，全句意为"结合了没有弹簧、没有方向舵，以及遭遇不平整路段等问题，木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服"，只有 C 选项的意思放在此处最恰当。

15. A 综合全文大意，我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖，A 选项符合题意。

职称英语教材上的文章占考试试卷的比例有多少?

职称英语考试的教材，教材每年大概出30到40分的题目，首先是我们的阅读理解的部分比较的重要，阅读理解比较重要的是有15分的题目，再有完形填空的15分，也是从书上去出题目的，对于占试卷的比例严格讲大概在30%到40%，因为词汇选项大概有4到10道题是来自于书上，近两年的考试有仅仅十道题左右是书上的，加上阅读理解和完形填空一般来说基本上从教材上历年的说法有45分，我们会出现更多的或者是更少的从教材上出题的情况。

2007年的理工A，08年理工和卫生B、C阅读理解都出了两个题是教材原题，原题总分达到了60分，同一年理工B就没有原题，综上所述职称英语考试原题的比例一般是45分左右，如果是考试这一年比较的幸运可能会出到60分，基本上把教材搞透就通关了，如果是运气不好只有30分的原题，其他的要根据自己的考点规律的总结去进行答题。为什么会出现这样的情况，可能是出题的老师疏忽了,也有可能是故意这样的，就是想去考察一下今年的考生综合的水平是如何的，这也是我带课堂上一起给大家强调的，一定要注重基础的学习，这也是讨论到的2014年的复习一定要重新的开始进行有效的备考。

第四部分阅读理解

第十七篇 Eiffel Is an Eyeful

Some 300 meters up, near the Eiffel Tower’s wind-whipped summit the world comes to scribble. Japanese, Brazilians. Americans—they graffiti their names, loves and politics on the cold iron—transforming the most French of monuments into symbol of a world on the move.

With Pairs laid out in miniature below, it seems strange that visitors would rather waste time marking their presence than admiring the view. But the graffiti also raises a question: Why, nearly 114 years after it was completed, and decades after it ceased to be the world’s tallest structure, is la Tour Eiffel still so popular?

The reasons are as complex as the iron work that graces a structure some 90 stories high. But part of the answer is, no doubt, its agelessness, regularly maintained, it should never rust away. Graffiti is regularly painted over, but the tower lives on.

“Eiffel represents Paris and Paris is France. It is very symbolic,” says Hugues Richard, a 31-year-old Frenchman who holds the record for cycling up to the tower’s second floor—747 steps in 19 minutes and 4 seconds, without touching the floor with his feet. “It’s iron lady, it inspires us,” he says.

But to what? After all, the tower doesn’t have a purpose. It ceased to be the world’s tallest in 1930 when the Chrysler Building went up in New York. Yes, television and radio signals are beamed from the top, and Gustave Eiffel, a frenetic builder who died on December 27, aged 91, used its height for conducting research into weather, aerodynamics and radio communication.

But in essence the tower inspires simply by being there---a blank canvas for visitors to make of it what they will. To the technically minded, it’s an engineering triumph. For lovers, it’s romantic.

“The tower will outlast all of us, and by a long way,” says Isabelle Esnous, whose company manages Eiffel Tower.

练习:

1. Why does the author think the Eiffel Tower is transformed into symbol of a world on the move?

A) Tourists from all over the world come to the Eiffel Tower by car or by plane.

B) Tourists of all nationalities come to scribble on the cold iron of the Tower.

C) The Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in the world.

D) The Eiffel Tower represents all the towers in the world. 2. What seems strange to the author?

A) Visitors prefer wasting time scribbling to enjoying the view.

B) Visitors spends much time watching other people scribbling.

C) Only Japanese, Brazilians and Americans like to mark their presence.

D) Scribbling spread from country to country. 3. Which statement is NOT true of Hugues Richard?

A) He is a cyclist.

B) He is a record holder.

C) He climbed 747 steps up the tower in 19 minutes and 4 seconds.

D) He cycled up to the tower’s second floor. 4. What did the builder use the Eiffel Tower for?

A) Sending radio and television signals all over the world.

B) Conducting research in various fields.

C) Giving people inspiration.

D) Demonstrating French culture.

5. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “(the Eiffel tower is like) a blank canvas for visitors to make of it what they will”?

A) Visitors can do whatever they want on the tower.

B) Visitors can paint on the tower whatever they want.

C) Visitors can imagine freely what the tower represents.

D) Visitors can draw on a blank canvas provided by the Tower management company.

答案：B A C B C

第十七篇引人注目的埃菲尔铁塔

世界各地的人们都来到大约300米高，接近埃菲尔铁塔顶端的地方涂鸦。日本人、巴西人、美国人都在冰冷的铁上涂上白己的名字、喜好和政治观点，使这最具有法兰西色彩的纪念碑成为动感世界的象征。

从塔上可以看到巴黎市的远景，但奇怪的是观光者们宁愿花时间留下到此一游的痕迹，而不去观赏风景。但这些涂鸦者也引起了一个问题：为什么在建成1 14年后，埃菲尔铁塔仍然这么受欢迎？尽管它在几十年前就已经不是世界上最高的建筑物了。

这个问题的答案就像那构成90层的铁塔的工程一样复杂。一部分的理由是，毫无疑问，铁塔是永不过时的。周期性的维护使得它永远不会被腐蚀掉。埃非尔铁塔定期油漆，覆盖那些涂鸦，但是它仍将继续存在下去。

“埃菲尔是巴黎的象征，而巴黎仅代表了法国。所以，埃菲尔十分具有象征性。”Hugues Richard说道。这位31岁的法国人保持着在19分零4秒的时间内骑自行车经过747级台阶登上铁塔二层的纪录。“这是铁娘子，能让人产生灵感，”他说。

但是它能使人们产生怎样的灵感呢？毕竟，铁塔并没有任何目的。1930年纽约的克莱斯勒大厦取代它成为世界上最高的建筑。但是电视和广播信号仍然从塔顶发送出来，而古斯塔夫-埃菲尔，这个狂热的建造者利用它的高度进行气象学、空气动力学和无线电通讯的研究。他在12月27日逝世，终年9l岁。

本质上来说，铁塔伫立在那儿本身就是一个灵感——它就像一张空白的画布，任游客自由遐想。对于那些善于从技术角度考虑问题的人来说，它是一个工程上的胜利；而对于恋人们来说，它则象征着浪漫。

Education is an enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety.

Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone — not just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.

Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.

The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.

This is America's answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time: “How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?”

练习: 1. Which of the following best states the goal of American education?

A) To teach every learner some practical skills.

B) To provide every learner with rich knowledge.

C) To give every student the opportunity to fully develop his/her ability.

D) To train every student to be a responsible citizen. 2. It is implied in the passage that .

A) all high-school students take the same courses

B) every high-school students must take some practical ability training courses

C) every public school offers the same academic subjects

D) the subjects every student takes may vary

3. American schools place great emphasis on the learner’s .

A) enrichment of knowledge

B) accumulation of facts

C) acquisition of the ability to be creative

D) acquisition of the ability to work with his hands

4. According to the passage, American education meets the needs of all the following EXCEPT .

A) the brightest students

B) the slow students

C) the students from foreign countries

D) the immigrants

5. Which of the following best states the feature of American education that makes it different from education in other countries?

A) The large number of its schools.

B) The variety of the courses offered in its schools.

C) Its special consideration given to immigrants.

D) Its underlying goal to develop every child’s abilities to the fullest extent.

答案：C D C C D

第十八篇美国教育的目标

教育是美国人的生活中很重要的一部分，花销也大。其规模宏大，种类多样。

与其他大多数国家相比，美国教育的不同在于美国教育是为每一个人设置的——不只是为享有特权的优等生。学校是要满足每个孩子的需要，不论其能力如何，同时也要满足社会本身的需求。这意味着公立学校提供的教育不只限于学术方面的课程。很多人来到美国之后会吃惊地发现，高中除了提供传统课程，例如：数学、历史和语言之外，他们还提供一些课程如打字、缝纫、无线电修理、计算机课程或驾驶训练课程。学生选择课程是根据个人喜好、目标以及能力水平。美国教育的潜在目标是将每一个孩子的能力最充分地发挥出来，培养每一个孩子的公民和社区觉悟感。

成千上万的移民者涌人这个国家，他们的出身背景不同。传统上，学校在建立民族团结以及使移民者美同化两方面起着重大作用。在社区中，尤其在小城镇，学校仍然起着重要作用。大家对美国的教学方法似乎也很陌生。因为这种教学方法不仅不正式，而且不把重点放在学习具体知识上。相反，美国人教孩子独立思考，教他们自己去开发自己的智慧以及创造能力。学生花很多时问学习怎样使用参考资料、图书馆、数据以及计算机。美国人认为只要孩子具有好的推理能力，好的研究方法，他们就能在以后找到自己所需的具体知识。他们还认为懂得怎样解决问题比积累事实更重要。

在这个变化万千的时代里，全世界细心的父母都在思考一个尖锐而深刻的问题：“怎样为孩子的明天做准备呢？孩子的明天既不能预料也不能理解。”上述的教学方法正是美国对这一问题的回答。

第十九篇 The Family

The structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society. The family's form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences. Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family，consisting of a married couple with their minor children. The nuclear family is an independent unit. It must be prepared to fend for itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies. Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so. In North America，the elderly often do not live with the family ; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.

There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies，such as

North

America，and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits，who live in harsh environments. The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. In harsh conditions，mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans，the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.

The nuclear family was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian time，the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family. This might have included grandparents，mother and father，brothers and sisters，uncles，aunts，and cousins. In North America today，there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households. Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced，separated，or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family，not just in North America, but throughout the world，continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.

练习:

1. Another good title for this passage would be_____.

A) What Makes a Family?

B) The Life of the Inuits.

C) Living with Hardship.

D) The Failure of theNuclear Family.

2. A nuclear family is defined as_____.

A) a married couple with their minor children

B) a single father with，minor children

C) parents，grandparents，and children

D) parents，children，and aunts and uncles

3. The information in this passage would most likely be found in_____.

A) an anthropology textbook B) a biology textbook

C) a mathematics textbook D) a geography textbook

4. The information in the first paragraph is presented mainly through _____.

A) listing statistics B) telling a story

C) pointing out similarities D) pointing out differences

5. The word mobility means_____.

A) money B) readiness to move C) organization D) skill

答案：A A A C B

第十九篇家庭

在全世界，甚至在同一个社会中，家庭结构有着不同的形式。家庭的构成形式随着不断变化的社会和经济影响而改变。直到最近，北美洲最普遍的家庭形式为核心家庭，由-对夫妇和他们未婚的孩子构成。核心家庭是一个独立的单位。它必须能够照料自己。家庭成员紧密依赖着彼此。在紧急情况下，外界提供给家庭的帮助微乎其微。核心家庭中，只有当条件允许的时候，才会照料家中年长的亲属。在北美洲．老人很少和家人一起生活，他们一般住在退休社区和养老机构。在工业社会，例如北美洲，核心家庭之问有很多相似点。在居住在恶劣环境中的因纽特人的社会中，家庭间也有很多相似点。核心家庭结构良好地适应于流动性的生活。在恶劣的条件下，流动性能让一个家庭吃饱饭。对北美洲人来说，找工作和提高社会地位同样需要流动性。

核心家庭并不总是北美洲人的标准。在农业社会时期，小型的核心家庭经常是大家庭的一部分。其中可能包括了祖父母、父母、兄弟姐妹、叔伯、阿姨以及表兄弟姐妹。在现在的北美洲，单亲家庭的数目大幅度增加。由核心家庭构成的单亲家庭的数目是美国由于离婚、分居或者未婚导致的单亲家庭的两倍。不仅在北美洲，在世界范围内，家庭结构都会随着不断变化的条件而改变。

答案与题解：

1．B better据上下文，这里at the top of排除D，再根据句意，为“更为人所熟知”，因而better是正确答案。

2．D 根据句意，词组搭配at the top of，表示在……顶部最为合适。Height意为summit意为“最高点”，peak意为“顶峰”，所以选D。

3．C 根据句意，从卧室的角度看去，from最为恰当。

4．A 固定搭配be famous for意为“以……而著名”，文中要表达的是伦敦塔以乌鸦耳而for为正确答案。

5．D 根据句意，David是被提供了这样一个职位，所以offered最为恰当。award表厅applied表示“应用”，presented表示“给予，呈现”，均不符合句意。原版Q:⒎②妻◎○Ⅶ○08。

6．c 根据上下文，很容易理解David是这么迷恋这种黑鸟，因而毫不犹豫地接受了主所以hesitation为正确答案。

7．A be aware of表示“意识到”，有这样一个警觉。其他三项均不符合句意。

8．B 固定搭配maintain a tradition，保持一个传统，maintain最为恰当。hold表示survive表示“存活，幸存”，last表示“维持”。

9．B 固定搭配make sure，意为“确保”，在文中表达的是“确保这种状况不会发生”，因而选10.A 根据句意，David，专用于……”最为恰当。spend后需加动词ing形式。pass表示“经过”，provide表示“

11.D 这是一个定语从句，根据句意，David理想的，所以fact是正确答案。

12. C keep an eye on为固定搭配，意为“注意，关注”，所以选C。

13. C 根据句意，作者要表达的意思是起初，David的妻子Moat first表示“起初，开始时”符合句意。

14. B be keen on为固定搭配，表示“对……感兴趣，对……in，fond后应配介词of，因此正确答案是B。

15. B all为最佳答案。

文章翻译：

幸福的骨折

演员Antonio Banderas经常骨折，而且它似乎总是发生在运动时。在影片《拳拳到骨》中，他与Woody Harrelson并肩，扮演一个中量级拳击手。在影片制作过程中，Harrelson不停地抱怨整个打斗场面并不是很令人信服，所以一天，他提议他和Banderas应该进行一场真正的打斗。这位西班牙演员起初对这一想法并不热衷，但最终他还是被他的搭档说服了，他戴上他的手套，爬上了拳击台。然而，当他意识到他的对手是全心全意投入进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定。在第三轮，Harrelson狠狠地打在Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了Banderas的鼻子。女演员Melanie Griffith，他的妻子对他进行这样一场“傻男子气概的游戏”非常愤怒。 “她是对的”，Banderas承认道，“我在电影拍摄过程中进行这样一个冒险真是一个傻瓜。”

在众多观众前比赛。但他的医生告诉他，他的比赛生涯也许就要结束了。“骨折。”

练习：

1. A) practicing B) making

C) doing C) gives C) While C) carried

D) after

D) participant

D) so

D) get

D) replayed

D) looked forward

D) over

D) another

D) course 2. A) plays B) does 3. A) When B) As 5. A) actions 6. A) interested 4. A) kept B) continued B) matches B) keen C) dreamed C) to C) different C) court 7. A) lastly B) eventually 8. A) competitor B) contender 9. A) very B) more 10. A) take B 11. A) remembered 12. A) hoped 13. A) up 14. A) further

1．C do。practise表示“练习”，后面应跟某sport，所以正确答案为C。

2．„为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个„„的角色”，其他三项均不合适。

3．D during。

4．A 根据句意，Harrelson在影片制作过程中不断地抱怨，而且后面的动词complain用的是ing形式，因此动词keep“连续，不断”最为恰当。continue后加动词ing形式一般表示在停顿后重新开始、继续，carry -般后面跟介词on，表示“进行某项事务”，insist表示“坚决主张”，不合句意，所以选A。

5．C 联系上下文，因为是影片中的打斗场景，所以这里scene是正确答案。

6．B be keen on为固定搭配，表示“对„„感兴趣，对„„热衷”，interest后面配介词in，enthusiastic后面配介词of。

7．B 联系上下文，作者要表达的是最终他还是被他的搭档说服了，副词eventually放在动词persuade之前，lastly表示“最后一点，最后”，“at the end”一般放在段落的最后，表示最后怎么样。

8．C 根据句意，“当他意识到„„是全心全意投入进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定”，显然是对手非常认真的对待这场打斗，所以opponent是正确答案。

9．D so„that„同定搭配，太„„以至于„„，根据句意，“Harrelson如此狠地打在Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了Banderas的鼻子”，其他选项都不适合。

10.A 固定搭配take a risk，表示“冒险”。

11.B 事促使他想起了故乡的那次比赛，remind表示“提醒”，符合句意。remember句意。押题，⑦2Ⅶ零灵Ⅶ零0⑻。

12.C 根据句意和后面的介词of，显然，“他一直梦想成为一个足球明星”，pretend表示“假装”，后面跟介词to，不合句意；look forward

13.A 固定搭配take up sth,up是正确答案。

14.D

15.B 词组football pitch，表示“足球场”。前面由介词onmatch“比赛”。court表示“网球场”，course

第三篇 Global Warming 【全球变暖】

Environmental on governments to take action to reduce the ____10____ of

全球变暖

现在很少有人质疑全球变暖的现实及其对世界气候的影响。许多科学家把全球气温上升归咎于最近的自然灾害，他们确信，地球现在比以往任何时候都更受到风、雨和太阳这些力量的威胁。据他们说，全球变暖制造了极端天气事件，例如飓风、干旱，甚至更为严重的以至于世界各地的海平面上升。

环保团体对政府施加压力，要求政府采取行动减少工厂和发电厂排放的二氧化碳量，攻击它的资源问题。他们都赞成把更多的资金用到研发太阳能、风能和波浪能装置上，以取代现有的发电站。

然而，还有一些科学家，他们相信即使明天我们不再排放二氧化碳和其他气体到大气层中，我们也将不

A Life with Birds

For nearly 17 years David Cope has worked as one of the Tower of London's yeoman warders, better known to tourists as beefeaters. David, 64, lives in a three-bedroomed flat right at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. "From our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the Thames," says David.

The Tower of London is famous for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately fascinated by the birds and when he was offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no hesitation in accepting it. "The birds have now become my life and I'm always aware of the fact that I am maintaining a tradition. The legend says that if the ravens leave the Tower, England will fall to enemies, and it's my job to make sure this doesn't happen!"

David devotes about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has grown to love them and the fact that he lives right next to them is ideal. "I can keep a close eye on them all the time, and not just when I'm

working." At first, David's wife Mo was not keen on the idea of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. "When we look out of our windows, we see history all around us, and we are taking it in and storing it up for our future memories."

A Lucky Break

Actor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when he's doing sport. In the film Play it to the Bone he plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. During the

making

the

film Harrelson kept

complaining that

the

fight scenes weren't very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasn't keen on the idea at first,

but he was eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his opponent was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing "silly macho games". "She was right," confesses Banderas, "and I was a fool to take a risk like that in the middle of a movie."

He was remind of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had always dreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over. "That's when I decided to take up acting; I saw it as another way of performing, and achieving recognition. What happened to me on that football pitch was, you might say, my first lucky break."

Global Warming

convinced that, more than ever before, the Earth is at risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts, even more severe and causing sea levels all around the world to rise.

Environmental groups are putting pressure on governments to take action to reduce the amount of needed to take on a couple of employees to help me", says Ben. "That enabled me to start doing business with bigger companies.” It was. his ability to consistently overcome difficult challenges that led him to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Waysearch, and he has recently signed a deal worth $25 million with a private investment company, which will finance his carbon

dioxide

which

given

off

factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power stations.

Some scientists, however believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.

A Success Story

At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have made their fortune through the Internet. What makes Ben's story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write properly. "I wanted to prove them wrong ", says Ben, creator and director of Waysearch, a net search engine which can be used to find goods in online shopping malls.

local

authorities provided him with a PC to help with school work. Although he was unable to read the manuals, he had a natural ability with the computer, and encouraged

his

began charging people $l0 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, and two years later he left school to devote all his time to business.

Traffic in Our Cities

The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.

One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as "road pricing", is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.

Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into

the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey. Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.

Teaching and learning

Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. If a long reading

assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works; they expect students particularly graduate students to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United States professors have many other duties besides teaching，such as administrative or research work. Therefore,

the

time

that

a professor

can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

The Difference between Man and Computer What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don't. In fact, computers don't even have interests; there is nothing in

particular

that

they

are

trying

to find out when they read. If a computer program is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a "purpose".

Of course,people have several goals that do not make sense to attribute to computers. One might read a

restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to find a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.

However,

these

physiological and social goals give rise

to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which serve the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to acquire information or knowledge, what we are calling learning goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.

Look on The Bright Side

Do you ever wish you were more optimistic, someone who always expected

to be

successful? Having someone around who always fears the worst isn’t really a lot of fun. We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, "It looks like rain." But if you catch yourself thinking such things，it's important to do something about it.

You can change your view of life, according to psychologists. It only takes a little effort, and you'll find life more rewarding as a result. Optimism, they say, is partly about self-respect and confidence but it's also a more positive way of looking at life and all it has to offer. Optimists are more likely to start new projects and are generally more prepared to take risks.

Upbringing is obviously very important in forming your attitude to the world. Some people are brought up to depend too much on others and grow up forever blaming

other

people

when

anything

goes

wrong. Most optimists，on the other hand, have been brought up not to regard failure as the end of the world—they just get on with their lives.

The First Bicycle

The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count de Sivrac delighted onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celeriferé. It was basically an enlarged version of a children’s toy which had been in use for many years. Sivrac's "celeriferé" had a wooden frame, made in the resemblance of a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end. To ride it, you sat on a small seat, just like a modem bicycle, and pushed hard against the ground with your legs—there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were holding races up and down the streets.

Minor injuries

were common as riders attempted a final burst of speed. Controlling the machine was difficult ,as the only way to change direction was to pull up the front of the "celeriferé" and turn it round while the front wheel was spinning in the air. "Celeriferés" were not popular for long, however, as the combination of no springs, no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. Even so, the wooden celeriferé was the origin of the modem bicycle.

Working Mothers

lives in establishing a career that they cannot afford see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic necessity. Many mothers are not cut out to be full-time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated.

There are a number of options when it comes to choosing childcare. These range from child minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady across the street.

reality,

however,

many

parents don't have any choice; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No matter how good the childcare may be, some children are going to protest wildly if they are left. This is a perfectly normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months, but soon after that they start to get a crush on Mum and close family members. Make sure that in the first week you allow plenty of time to help your child settle in.

All children are different. Some are independent, while others

are more attached

their

mothers. Remember that if you want to do the best for your children, it's not the quantity of time you spend with them, it's the quality that matters.

School Lunch

Research has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat properly in the middle of the day. In Britain schools have to provide meals at lunchtime. Children can choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.

One shocking finding of this research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by parents. There are strict standards for the preparation of school meals, which have to include one portion of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like bread or pasta. Lunchboxes examined by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps and chocolate bars. Children consume twice as much sugar as they should at

lunchtime. The

research

will

provide

better

understanding of why the percentage of overweight students in Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government cannot criticize parents, but it can remind them of the nutritional value of milk, fruit and vegetables. Small changes in their children's diet can affect their future health. Children can easily develop bad eating habits at this age, and parents are the only ones who can prevent it.

A Powerful Influence

There can be no doubt at all that the Internet has made a huge difference to our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the Internet, hardly ever doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents are curious to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to know if it can be harmful to their children. Should parents worry if their children are spending that much time staring at their computers?

Obviously; if children are bent over their computers for hours, absorbed in some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. Parents and children could decide how much use the child should make of the Internet, and the child should give his or her word that it won’t interfere with homework. If the child is not holding to this arrangement, the parent can take more drastic steps dealing with a child's use of the Internet is not much different from negotiating any other soft of bargain about behaviour.

Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child's behaviour should make an appointment to discuss the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the screen does not necessarily affect a child's performance at school. Even if a child is absolutely crazy about using the Internet，he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about!

The Old Gate

In the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them. This was partly for defensive reasons but another factor was the need to keep out anyone regarded as undesirable, like people with contagious diseases. The Old City of London gates were all demolished by the end of the 18th century. The last of London's gates was removed a century ago, but by a stroke of luck, it was never destroyed.

This gate is, in actual fact, not called a gate at all; its name is Temple Bar, and it marked the boundary between the Old City of London and Westminster. In 1878 the Council of London took the Bar down, numbered the stones and put the gate in storage because its design was unfashionable it was expensive to maintain and it was blocking the traffic. The Temple Bar Trust was set up in the 1970's with the intention of returning the gate home. The aim of the trust is the preservation of the nation's architectural heritage. Transporting the gate will mean physically pulling it down, stone by stone, removing and rebuilding it near St Paul's Cathedral. Most of the facade of the gate will probably be replaced, though there is a good chance that the basic structure will be sound. The hardest job of all, however, will be to recreate the statues of the monarchs that once stood on top of the gate.

Family History

In an age when technology is developing faster than ever before, many people are being attracted to the idea of looking back into the past. One way they can do this is by investigating their own family history. They can try to find out more about where their families came from and what they did, This is now a fast—growing hobby, especially in countries with a fairly short history, like Australia and the United States.

It is one thing to spend some time going through a book on family history and to take the decision to

Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate. Many scientists put the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase in the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than ever before, the Earth is at risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts, even more severe and causing sea levels all around the world to rise.

Environmental groups are putting pressure on governments to take action to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which is given off by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power stations.

Some scientists, however, believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.

第四篇 A Success Story（综合C）

At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers

who have made their fortune through the Internet. What makes Ben's story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write properly. "I wanted to prove them wrong ", says Ben, creator and director of Waysearch, a net search engine which can be used to find goods in online shopping malls.

When he was eight, his local authorities provided him with a PC to help with school work. Although he was unable to read the manuals, he had a natural ability with the computer, and encouraged by his father, he soon began charging people $l0 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, and two years later he left school to devote all his time to business.

"By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a couple of

employees to help me", says Ben. "That enabled me to start doing business with bigger companies.” It was his ability to consistently overcome difficult challenges that led him to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Waysearch, and he has recently signed a deal worth $25 million with a private investment company, which will finance his search engine.

第五篇 Traffic in Our Cities（综合C）

Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the

outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey.

Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However,

to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.

*第六篇 Teaching and learning（综合B）

Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. If a

long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works; they expect students particularly graduate students to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United Stats professors have many other duties besides teaching，such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

*第七篇 The Difference between Man and Computer（综合B）

What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand，don't. In fact，computers don't even have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer program is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a "purpose".

Of course, people have several goals that do not make sense to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to find a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.

However, these physiological and social goals give rise to several intellectual or

cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which serves the desired type of food，how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to acquire information or knowledge, what we are calling learning goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer, it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.

*第八篇 Look on The Bright Side（综合B）

Do you ever wish you were more optimistic, someone who always expected to be successful? Having someone around who always fears the worst isn’t really a lot of fun. We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, "It looks like rain." But if you catch yourself thinking such things, it's important to do something about it.

You can change your view of life, according to psychologists. It only takes a little effort, and you'll find life more rewarding as a result. Optimism, they say, is partly about self-respect and confidence, but it's also a more positive way of looking at life and all it has to offer. Optimists are more likely to start new projects and are generally more prepared to take risks.

Upbringing is obviously very important in forming your attitude to the world. Some people are brought up to depend too much on others and grow up forever blaming other people when anything goes wrong. Most optimists, on the other hand, have been brought up not to regard failure as the end of the world — they just get on with their lives.

*第九篇 The First Bicycle（综合B）

The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791，Count de Sivrac delighted onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celeriferé. It was basically an enlarged version of a children’s toy which had been in use for many years. Sivrac's "celeriferé had a wooden frame, made in the shape of a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end. To ride it, you sat on a small seat, just like a modem bicycle, and pushed hard against the ground with your legs — there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were holding races up and down the streets.

Minor injuries were common as riders attempted a final burst of speed. Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change direction was to pull up the front of the "celeriferé" and turn it round while the front wheel was spinning in the air. "Celeriferés" were not popular for long, however, as the combination of no springs, no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. Even so, the wooden celeriferé was the origin of the modem bicycle.

*第十篇 Working Mothers（综合B）

Carefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose
