Unit1 desperate wake disappointing contest worshipping object bankrupt cruelty fancy dignity protects originally protests altitude similarly Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them object to people saying there is anything different about them. “I’m really just a normal guy,”protests an actor who has recently rocketed into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to believe they are as great as their worshipping fans suggest. They start to wear fancy clothes and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however, does not often last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had originally risen above it all. What will it feel like to soar to such altitude and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And what will it feel like to have flown so high only to wake from your dream and realize you; are only human? Some only see the cruelty in losing something they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us. 你知不知道一些著名的人？如果是这样，你可能已经发现他们和我们（普通人)没有什么区别。您甚至可能会听到他们反对人们说他们与众不同。“我真的只是一个普通的家伙”，一个最近飙升到聚光灯下的演员抗议道。当然，通常在一个短暂的时期，他们开始相信他们是伟大的，因为被他们崇拜的粉丝推崇。他们开始穿花哨的衣服，好像每个人都应该在听他们说话。然而，这样的期间，不会持续太长。他们很快回归到了现实，就在他们把这些（名利）看得太重的时候。那种感觉就好像是一直翱翔在高空的老鹰俯视其他所有的人？那种飞得高的感觉只是为了唤醒你的梦想从而认清你自己？他们从得到又失去中体会到了残酷。他们常常绝望的想得到他们失去的东西。这些努力往往导致更大的痛苦。有些人无论经济和情感上都破产了。只有真正的赢家是那些乐意回到地面与我们（普通人）在一起的人。

(四级填空)大学英语四级选词填空技巧汇总

选词填空技巧汇总大学英语四级考试的阅读部分，除了传统的两篇仔细阅读和一篇快速阅读，还有一种让考生普遍头痛的考法：选词填空。选词填空的考察形式是：一篇280词左右的文章，文章中挖出10个空，并统一给出A-O15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空，有更大的解题难度，原因在于： 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一，选词填空第一题要十五选一，就算用到排除法，最后一题也要六选一，而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到，难度加大； 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性，只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答，而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性，解题时需要同时判断词性和词义，难度加大； 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态，统一形式，而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态，名词的单复数等的辨析，难度加大。因此，针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步： 1. 预览选项，了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性：名词n，动词v，形容词a，副词ad，在每个选项后作词性的简要标记； 2. 精读全文开头，把握文章主题，并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位，利用前后文判断每空的词性； 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文，含义通顺，时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用：常见名词后缀： -ability usability, capability -ibility visibility, responsibility, stability -age package, shortage, marriage -ance importance, allowance, reliance -ence presence, absence, confidence -ant assistant, accountant, inhabitant -ent president, resident, dependent

According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any (3) was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”, (4) the word “zoo”, which I would (5) over and over ag ain with a shrill (6) until someone, in groups to (7) me up, would take me to the zoo. When I (8) a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great (9) of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time (10) the countryside in search of fresh specimens to (11) to my collection of pets. (12) on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student (13) , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches, (14) were not easy to keep at home. When I left, I (15) had enough money of my own to be able to (16) my first trip and I have been going (17) ever since then.

Trip 第一篇解析： 1.【答案】A 根据下一句及随后的内容，作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物)，应当选择A.how。 2.【答案】C in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是：别人经常问到的问题之一，是当初我是如何爱上动物的。 3.【答案】A 这句话的意思是：作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。 4.【答案】B but在此处连接另一个句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略)，表示转折，意为“而是”，Except, except for, but for的用法接近，表示“除了……”。 5.【答案】D 根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”

Unit 1 P16 "So you want to be a rock and roll star?" asked the musician, Bob Dylan. You have decided to seek fame's spotlight. And you will not be persuaded otherwise. What is it that lures you? Is it the worshiping fans? Or is it simply to be recognized for being truly fantastic at something? This is all quite understandable. I should warn you, though. It is difficult to sustain the public's favor. These people will grow bored so easily. Even if you should succeed, you might not be happy, once you win in your conquest of fame, complaints will follow. For example, people will say that your work fails to show a lack of continuity in its appeal. You see, their enthusiasm will soon dissolve. I should also tell you that there will be plenty of people who will want to exploit you during your brief stay at the top .Friends? Sure, as long as you have money you'll have friends who will suck everything you have out of you. And don't forget to watch your agent closely. You might need a good lawyer and an accountant, but they too will want their piece of the pie—making money out of you. I see you understand the cruelty of the situation. However, your chase for fame can't be discouraged by my pessimistic outlook. Go ahead then. Don't let me stop you. But when you fail of fall right back where you started and you're miserable, don't accuse me of not having warned you. I've done all that I can for you. “所以你要成为一个摇滚明星吗？”音乐家，鲍勃迪伦问。你已经决定寻求名利的聚光灯。你也不会被说服。是什么诱惑了你？是崇拜着的粉丝吗？或者只是简单的想在一些事情上被认可为真正有趣，吸引人的？这都是可以理解的。尽管如此，我还是应当警告你。维持公众的欢心青睐是很难的。这些人很容易厌倦。即使你成功了，你可能不会满意。一旦你赢得你对名声的征服，投诉也会随之而来。例如，人们会说,你的作品未能显示出连续性的吸引力。你看，他们的热情很快就会溶解。我也应该告诉你,会有很多人会想利用你，在你短暂地停留在顶部的时候。朋友吗？当然，只要你有钱，你就会有朋友，那些会吸干你的一切的朋友。别忘了密切看好你的代理。您可能需要一个好律师和会计，但他们也会想要分一杯羹——从你身上赚钱。我知道你已经理解了这个残酷的现状。然而，你对名利的追逐不能被我悲观的前景（描述）所劝阻。继续吧，不要让我阻止你。但当你失败了，落回原来你开始的地方，你痛苦的时候，不要指责我没有警告过你。我已经给你我所有能给你的了。 Unit 2 P41 It is doubtful that there was a more successful comedy team in the 20th century than the Three Stooges. Larry, Moe, and Curly became famous for their many short movies featuring extraordinary comedy. In their movies, they found many ways of showing off funny actions. They attracted large audience and received a lot of applause. However, their movies also sparked criticism. Some people who didn't like the Three Stooges claimed they were too violent. In a TV interview Moe and Larry were roused to defend themselves. Their coarse brand, they said, shouldn't be taken seriously. It was just "cartoon violence". The stooges got their name and their start in an act called Ted Healy and His Stooges. This act began paving the way for their exceedingly successful career. Originally the team was composed of Larry, Moe and Shemp. However, Shemp left for a career in more serious movies. When Shemp left, Curly took his place. Shemp's clumsy character returned in 1964 after Curly suffered a stroke. Moe was the heart and soul of the team, acting as both their main comic force and their director. He was responsible for scripting many of the jokes. He'd also spend time providing his services as their business manager. In 1934 the team began a series of comedy shorts that numbered more than 200 when they ceased in 1985, which won them numerous fans. Despite all the criticism, the Three Stooges are undoubtedly the most famous comedy team that history ever invented. 值得怀疑，在20世纪，有没有比活宝三人组更成功的喜剧团队。Larry，Moe和Curly 因他们特色鲜明的喜剧电影短片而成名。在他们的电影里，他们发现了许多表现滑稽动作的方法。他们吸引了大批观众，收到了许多的掌声。然而，他们的电影也引发了批评。有些不喜欢活宝三人组的人声称他们太暴力了。在

T: In the battle against slavery, not only did the president try his best to abolish this system, but also the people, especially the black people living in the South America try hard to fight for their own feat. Today, we will introduce some freedom givers in the American history. Before
