第十二天 一、美文晨讀 My painful small decision “Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow. 二、詞匯訓(xùn)練 1. Disabled visitors are welcome;there is good wheelchair________(通道)to most facilities. 2.

Most parents have good intentions, 2 some of them are not very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in 3 (adjust) to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s 4 (difficult). For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the 5 ( compete)is stronger, that the required standards of work are 6 (high), and that their children may not be prepared for 7 change. They may be upset by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may 8 (gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten 9 (take) their children out of college or cut off living expenses. Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine 10 their children do with their lives. They forget that every one is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10 四、閱讀理解 A Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about. British physicist Stephen Hawking, possibly the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein, gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August. An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers. But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol(偶像). His books, such as A Brief History of Time become bestsellers in Chinese bookstores. Hawking helps people expand their horizons and become interested in science, said Pan Yunhe, president of Zhejiang University. Indeed, experts don’t think it is likely that Hawking’s lectures and far-reaching ideas will be easily understood by the common people. But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people. And the “Hawking fever” caused by his visit has made people ask:How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking? “Training top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves,” said Zhang Fan. Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999 and was a sophomore(大學(xué)二級(jí)學(xué)生)at Trinity College in 2002. In Britain, Zhang said, teachers inspire students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in. And they encourage students to develop new ideas, which helps them to nurture(培養(yǎng))their creativity. In China, the Ministry of Education has encouraged schools to provide quality education to develop students’ potential. “I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations and solve problems on our own,” said Lu Jie, a junior student in Sanfan Middle School in Beijing. 1.

As a child you hear the sounds of your own language and you repeat it. You see the written form of the language around you and little by little you are taught to link the two forms of the language. The BBC uses this method in many different ways. English teaching radio programmes With explanations in 37 languages as well as completely in English, these programmes are broadcast to most areas of the world from London and by some 300 overseas radio stations in more than 100 countries. Courses of textbooks and audiocassettes These audio courses are for people who wish to learn English at home or in the classroom. They can all be used for studying English from beginners’ level to advanced. Video courses BBC English programmes have been broadcast successfully on television in more than 100 countries. They can also be got on video, with supporting textbooks and audiocassettes; they form complete courses for home study or teaching. A magazine The BBC English magazine is a bi-monthly publication and is a companion to BBC English radio broadcasts. It is written by the programme makers and includes programme details, practical home study exercises and features, as well as items of general interest from BBC programmes dealing with science, medicine, technology, etc. English language summer school This popular course for learners and teachers of English is held in London every summer. For information on any of the above, please write to:BBC English, PO Box 76, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1. In London, personal callers can see BBC English courses on display at the BBC World Shop, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1. 6.

A. textbooks B. video courses C. the magazine D. all the above C In most cultures, when you meet acquaintances for the first time during a day, it is normal to greet them. The main purpose of this greeting is to build up a good relationship between the people concerned, and each language usually has a number of set phrases which can be used for this purpose. Sometimes there are considerable differences in the type of phrases which can be used and cultural misunderstanding can easily result. The following is a true example. A young British woman went to Hong Kong to work, and at the time of her arrival she knew nothing about the Chinese culture or language. On her way to school one day she went to the bank to get some money. To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had her lunch. She was extremely surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would be regarded as an indirect invitation to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also indicate the young man’s interest in dating the girl; so since this bank clerk was a complete stranger to the British girl, she was very much surprised and hastily commented that she had eaten already. After this she proceeded to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question. By now, she realized that it could not be an invitation, but was puzzled as to why they asked it. In the following days, she was asked the same question again and again, and she spent hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this. Eventually she came to a conclusion: the people must be concerned about her health. She was somewhat underweight at the time and so she concluded they must be worried that she was not eating properly! Only much later did she discover that the question had no real significance at all—it was merely a greeting. 10. The main idea of the first paragraph is_______. A. cultural differences can be the main reason for misunderstandings B. differences in greetings may lead to cultural misunderstandings C. different people should use different greetings in order to avoid misunderstandings D. greetings are a number of set phrases which can be used to build up a good relationship between the people concerned 11. When the British woman was asked if she had had her lunch, she was surprised because________. A. she bad already eaten her lunch at home B. she didn’t want to have lunch with the bank clerk C. she regarded it as an indirect invitation to lunch D. she didn’t know why the bank clerk was so warm-hearted 12. The British woman misunderstood the question again by thinking that people were concerned about her health because________. A. she was in poor health B. she was not eating properly C. she was a person of significance D. she was somewhat thin 13. “The question” that people kept asking the British woman should be understood as_________. A. “Are you hungry?” B. “Have you eaten your lunch?” C. “May I invite you to have a lunch?” D. “How are you?” 五、句子翻譯 1. 他除了鼻子外,哪兒都好看。(aside from) _________________________________________________________________________________ 2. 他正打算把這個(gè)秘密告訴她時(shí),她卻死了。(be about to) _________________________________________________________________________________ 3. 我勸他戒煙,可他卻不聽。(advise) _________________________________________________________________________________ 4. 人們普遍認(rèn)為地球是圍繞太陽(yáng)轉(zhuǎn)的。(suppose) _________________________________________________________________________________ 5. 你能做的就是向老師道歉。(be do) _________________________________________________________________________________ 6. 如果這次不及格,你就沒有機(jī)會(huì)獲得學(xué)士學(xué)位了。(chance) _________________________________________________________________________________ 7. 他的“地球是圓的”的理論最終證明是對(duì)的。(prove) _________________________________________________________________________________ 8. 你該離家自己謀生了。(It’s time that-clause.) ______________________________________________________________________________ 9. 他們談起話來就像多年的朋友似的。(as if) ______________________________________________________________________________ 10.石油價(jià)格不斷上漲,很多人決定不買小汽車了。(go up) ______________________________________________________________________________ 第十二天 二、詞匯訓(xùn)練 1. access 2. powder 3. angle 4. triangle 5. atom 6.
