Developing your skills
Part A: Relating information in a text to one's own experience The students may come up with other plausible answers for the choices below. The key point here is to encourage students to express their conceived/perceived notions about the objects as gifts rather than to make them give a definite right or wrong answer. Gifts 1. a white lantern Appropriate Inappropriate √ They funerals. If a man is said to be wearing a green hat it √ means that his wife has had sex with another man since her marriage. 3. a gold ring √ Usually a gold ring is Reasons are used in

women to their fiancés as engagement gifts.
8. a red packet(Hong Bao)
√
What gifts would be suitable for each of the following people? Write your choices in the table below, and then, in pairs, compare your choices and explain to each other why you consider your gifts appropriate. For this activity, again allow the students to come up with their own ideas and explanations. As long as their answers subscribe to the idea of being appropriate to the situation, neutral, and not intimate and offensive, they should be accepted. Below is just one common example of the kinds of gifts that may be more commonly given to these people. Students might be asked to add their suggestions to a table on the board and the rest of the class comment on whether or not they think they are suitable gifts. Gift-Receivers 1. your teacher 2. your partners Pen Clothing Gifts

3. a friend 4. a workmate 5. a foreign guest 6. someone who is getting married 7. someone who has just retired
Key-chain Diary Local handicraft Household goods watch
Part B: Using knowledge of the world to make sense of a text The topic of the text in this unit is "The Art of Gift-Giving". There is a lot of information about the practices of people from different cultures. Use your knowledge of the world to supplement the information about the questions below. Write your answers in the space provided. 1. Why do the Chinese feel red is lucky.* Because the colour of blood is red and blood represents life, red is considered lucky as it shows something is alive. 2. Why are gifts showing the number 4 or a gift of 4 items of something considered unlucky in Japanese, Korean and Chinese cultures? Because the pronunciation of the number 4 is similar to the word "death" in these languages. 3. Why is giving anything with the left hand considered insulting in Arabic countries? Because the left hand is associated with evil or "the wrong path", whereas the right hand is associated with good or "the right path". (refer to "Further information on the text") 4. Why do Westerners often open the gift immediately? So that they can show their appreciation of the gift to the gift-giver right away. They feel that to say "Thank you" the receiver needs to make a comment on the gift and this is difficult if you don't know what it is. 5. Why is it considered polite in Asia to refuse the gift at the beginning and for the gift-giver to have to insist that the other person accepts it? Because this allows the gift-receiver to show that he is modest and not greedy

and this gives the gift-giver the chance to show that he genuinely wants the gift-receiver to have the gift.
Extending your vocabulary
Part A: Synonyms As an extension activity, students might be put into groups and asked to find antonyms for these words where possible, and make sentences with the antonyms to show that they understand how the words work in context. For example, for "offensive" the antonym is "pleasing/pleasant". It was extremely pleasant to sit by the pool with a cold beer in this hot weather. Her voice is very pleasing to the ear. I can just listen to her all day long. Column A business associates to represent something important not suitable unpleasant or insulting belief that magic or luck can affect your life personal or private things not to talk about yourself or show off to value something and be grateful for it Part B: Cloze passage Use mainly the words in Part A of Extending your vocabulary to complete this paragraph. It is very important to avoid giving gifts to clients that will upset them or be seen as oftensire. People usually appreciate receiving small gifts but the giver should take care to ensure these are neither inappropriate for the customs of the country nor too intimate for the person to whom the present is intended. Gift-givers need to bear in mind different things have different meanings in other countries-a number may symbolize bad luck for example and some cultures have a belief in superstition so care should be taken to avoid certain objects. People should also be clients symbolize inappropriate offensive supers t it ion intimate ,modesty appreciate Column B

aware of natural modesty amongst recipients and not be surprised if their gifts are rejected at first. To give students more practice, after completing the passage, students can choose 3 or 4 words out of the above key words and, in pairs, use the words to make up their own short sentences on a related topic.

Guidelines for giving gifts Again, there are few definite answers here. For any suggestions students make, they should be encouraged to explain why the gifts are suitable or unsuitable. Ideas could be collected onto a table on the board and discussed by the whole class. Do ·crystal ornaments ·decorative items, e.g. sculptures, handicraft ·watches ·books ·bottled delicacy or food, e.g. jams, honey ·potted plants Below is an example of the kind of information that students can include in the guidelines. Another way to present the advice would be in point form in terms of "dos and don'ts". The main thing to note is that students should be able to include information given in the text at the beginning of the unit and from the task that they have just completed, but also to extend this information with further ideas of their own. Students who have travelled, or those studying international trade and business or tourism, may be able to think about particular countries in relation to their guidelines. All students should be encouraged to arrange the information into a logical and organised structure. Guidelines for Giving Gifts to a Western Person ·cash ·exotic food, e.g. snakes, dried lizards ·Chinese herbal medicine ·intimate clothing, e.g. lingerie, underwear Don’t

Here are some tips for you when you arc trying to decide what gifts to buy for your Western colleagues or friends when you visit them overseas. The questions below will help you to do the right thing: 1. How well do you know the person that you are buying the gift for? 2. Do you know if there is anything that is offensive to the person either because of his religion or his personal taste? Firstly, if you do not know the person well, then you should stay with neutral gifts for his house or office that are not considered intimate. For example, you can get him a painting or a penholder. If you are quite familiar with the person, then you can try to find something that matches his personality or taste. However, you must still stay away from items that are considered too intimate like underwear. Secondly, you should find out if there are any taboos or superstitions that the person believes in. Then make sure you do not buy him anything that is in any way connected with or anything that resembles his taboos or superstitions. Don't forget that it is not just the appearance of the gift that you have to be careful of, but also the way the item is pronounced in his language! Lastly, do not forget that it is considered impolite not to wrap up your gift before presenting it to your Western friend. And you must also be careful in choosing wrapping paper. It should be in either plain colours or have neutral designs. If you remember the above advice, you should not go wrong. In fact, you should be quite popular with your Western friends!
Intercultural notes
Gift-Giving: "it's the thought that counts" One of the ways to use the Intercultural notes section is to encourage students to read to find the main ideas of the text. Students can be put in pairs for this activity. Each student makes up a few questions that focus on the main points in the passage. Then they exchange questions and try to find the answers in the passage as fast as they can. After they have done that they can compare answers to see if they both understand what the main points of the passage are.

Overall theme of passage: It's the thought that counts when it comes to giving gifts. Main ideas: paragraph 1 Giving gifts—a kind of social exchange; common occasions for giving gifts in English-speaking countries -- birthdays, Christmas and weddings. paragraph 2 Birthdays -- usually think carefully what to give, but can also give books or gift tokens. paragraph 3 Christmas—some people give gifts that cost almost the same as what they got from the gift-giver previously—so as not to embarrass the giver—and others pay attention to finding the gift that is unique to the receiver. paragraph 4 Weddings — give household objects or follow checklists given by bride and bridegroom or ask them to choose something by themselves. paragraph 5 Wrapping — shows thoughtfulness, courtesy and social refinement — using beautiful wrappings and appropriate accompanying words.

Then, complete the table by filling in each box with a correct type. Follow the example. Supplementary Details 1. Almost 30% of British people read the“star sign”section of the newspaper every day. (A / paragraph 1) 2. ?in other words it can mean what you want it to mean！ （A / paragraph 5） 3. ? the Western horoscope, which is Definitions / explanations Paraphrases figure Types

Part A: Cloze passage Complete the passage with the words from the box.

People born in the year of the Sheep do not have great passion. They rarely dominate other people and are unlikely to have a dynamic nature. They are gentle and kind people who work hard and are lucky but they do not seem to have great energy and are seldom rebellious. Sheep are followers, not leaders, and they cannot arouse any great love or devotion in their colleagues.
Part B: Expressions
The following expressions are used in the text. What do you think they mean? Do they have approximate Chinese equivalents? ·look before you leap = think carefully before you take any action Don't behave lightly and move rashly. (别轻举妄动) Without knowing the depth of the water, never go hastily into the river. ( 不知水 深浅，切莫急下河。) Even .when walking on a level road, be careful about tripping and falling; .when sailing with the current, guard against submerged reefs. (走平路，防摔跤；顺水船， 防暗礁。) ·not looking rosy = not looking optimistic ·light-hearted = not serious ·ice-breaker = something / some actions to make people feel more at ease with one an other ·fall into place = everything becomes alright, things are coming together got what he wanted ( 得其报在) Approximate Chinese equivalents will probably exist for these expressions (some are indicated above). You can ask students to try to come up with a list of phrases that have the closest meanings to these English expressions. Then the whole class can compare notes to decide which ones are the most suitable. Now use each of the expressions in sentences of your own. Your sentences should all be connected to the topic of Horoscopes. 1. Today is not a good day .for all Leos, so look before you leap in everything you do.

2. Gemini, your love prospects are not looking rosy this month. Put your energy in other areas. 3. My mother believes in the stars, but my father treats the whole thing in a lighthearted manner. 4. Aries, remember to use ice-breakers today especially if you have to talk to a large crowd. 5. Don't worry about your career path as everything will fall into place by the end of this year.

Star talks about the stars Star Wellborn is, of course, a fictitious name which suggests that she was born under a favourable star! As she seems to believe in horoscopes and reads them regularly the name is appropriate. The fighting role in the new Amazon story: This could be understood in two ways: as a role in an adventure story set on the Amazon river in Brazil or as a reference to the legendary "Amazons", who in mythology were said to be female fighters famous for their strength and lived on the edge of the world. This is a good activity to get students to practise a range of different question forms. Before you get students to do this, you might want to do a quick revision on the different types of questions that you want them to use, e.g. open questions ( Wh questions --"Which horoscope do you believe in more: the Chinese or Western horoscope?"" Why?", Yes/No questions- "Do you believe every word your horoscope says?", prefaced questions -- "Many people say that horoscopes are just to entertain people. What do you think about this?", or conditional questions -- "If you were told that you were going to have an accident that day when you left your house, would you stay home and not go out at all?"). You might also want your students to take note of the "tone" of their questions.

In this case, they will need to be polite as they are interviewing a film actress and the interview will probably be broadcast. For the students playing the role of the film actress, they will need to be polite as well in their answers as they want to give a good impression to the interviewers and to their fans and the general public. Get the students to notice that Star Wellborn was born on July 30th, which means she is a Leo (see text) in the Western horoscope, in the year 1962, which means she's a Tiger in the Chinese calendar (see text). They should relate this to Star Wellborn's comments on tiger and lions in the box ("I feel ... a bit unpredictable ... but I admire their nobility, dynamism and power"). They should notice, too, that in the boxes, she "normally speaks her mind" and is "trying to be patient" having upset many people at work recently – these comments exactly match the information about Leo people in the text! Also according to the Leo paragraph she should "avoid overseas travel"; this should be related to whether she will travel to Brazil for her next film. It is, of course, better to let this information emerge from the role play interviews rather than telling the students, i.e. they should read through the information and relate these parts of the text and information in the boxes together. You can extend the students' abilities by suggesting that they make up related questions that do not have answers in the newspaper extracts given. And the students answering these questions will need to make up plausible answers that are relevant to the role. Some sample questions and answers: Ms Wellborn, do you feel that your personality is like your star? Yes, I do. I am a Leo. You know, the sign of the lion. I like the big cats because sometimes I'm unpredictable, but I'm brave. And do you believe what your star sign says? Of course, I believe in everything my star sign says and I believe in my destiny. Which horoscope do you think is more accurate, the Chinese or the Western one? Well, I'll have to say both. Many people believe in fate. What about you, Ms Wellborn? Oh yes! I do believe in fate. I think how our lives will turn out to be is written in

the stars. In that sense, my name and my destiny -- Star -- is written in the stars. A lot of people thought you should have been given an Oscar for best actress in 2002. What do you think your chances are for this in the future? Well, I'm not worried about it, really. I mean, if it's in the stars, I'll get it sooner or later. I'm ambitious, though, in the sense that I want to be the best actress I can be.

Developing your skills
Part A: Identifying uncertain expressions In pairs, identify other examples of "uncertain expressions" in the text. Write your answers in the box below. paragraph 4 -- He wrote ... where it could be used to water the crops ... paragraph 5 -- Clearly ... life as we knew on Earth could exist on Mars. paragraph 6 -- ... ( these must have been illusions) ... paragraph 7 -- But Mariner's ... seemed to show what appeared to be old riverbeds. paragon, ph 8 -- The evidence that life may once have existed ... Below is an example of the kinds of sentences that students can be encouraged to produce. As an extension activity students can be asked to search for articles that contain these kinds of expressions. They can then make a list of the different possible ways of expressing uncertainties. Grammatically, many expressions of uncertainty are expressed with modal verbs or adverbs.

We may / It's possible that we have made the discovery of the century. There are worm-like microfossils in the rock that appear / seem to have similar shapes to our Earth bacteria. The rock is likely to / will probably contain evidence that there was life on Mars once. We hope to be able to come up with some more conclusive results in the next month or so. Part B: Using a time-chart to arrange facts into a chronological order Identify when the events in the box below happened, and then rearrange them into a chronological order. Follow the example. a) It was discovered that Mars was similar to the Earth. b) ALH 84001, a piece of rock from Mars, was discovered by an American scientific team. ( 1984 ) c) The Viking spacecraft landed on Mars. ( 1976 ) d) It was reported that living organisms had existed on Mars more than 3 billion years ago. (1996) e) A number of space vehicles were sent by the USA to Mars to photograph thc surface. (1960s) f) It was discovered that ALH 84001 was 4.6 billion years old and came from Mars. (1993) g) Careful and detailed observations of Mars were made. (19th century)

St udents could then read through the chronological sequence aloud but add in linking expressions, such as "later", "subsequently", "as a result", and so on. Students might follow up this activity by doing the following activity in pairs. Each student thinks of, say, 8- 10 major events in their lives and makes a note of the year in which each event occurred (this is for his / her own reference). He / She then makes another copy of the list of events with no dates and in random order and gives it to his / her partner. They then take it in turns to make a time chart of their partner's life-events. He / She would need to ask questions relating to date and sequence, for example: ·Which was the first major event in your life? ·In which year did this happen？ ·In which year did you ... ? (description of a major event) etc. When one student has completed the time chart, they change roles and the second student completes a time chart on his/her partner.
Extending your vocabulary

Part A: Definitions Many words in the box below can be found in the Words to note section. Therefore, students should have little difficulty in matching them with the correct definitions. The focus of this activity, therefore, is the students' attempts to write their own sentences using the words appropriately. Students should be encouraged to be as creative as possible with their sentences and not stick to "safe" and simple sentences. When they have finished, each word could be examined in greater depth by inviting a few students to write their sentences on the board and each use of the same word can be compared (and corrected by the class where necessary). Word Observations Headline Inhabited Influential Orbited The jury’s still out 4 12 6 7 5 3 Definition
Now write a sentence of your own for each of the six words given above. 1. According to the doctors' observations, the patient should be able to leave the hospital soon. 2. The headlines in the front page of the newspaper are all about the train accident. 3. Only wild birds and animals inhabit that island. 4. We need help from your influential uncle. He can help revive our business. 5. In the stow, five moons orbited their planet instead of one like ours. 6. The jury's still out concerning who is the most suitable person for the position of president of the club.
Part B: Cloze sentences
When completing a cloze sentence or paragraph, it is important that students consider what "form" of word should be inserted into the gap. This activity might be

preceded by asking students to identify what part of speech (word class) needs to be inserted for the sentence to be grammatically accurate. Then ask them to label which part of speech each of the optional words is, and finally ask them to insert the correct word. This is very good training for future examination questions which use this format of testing language skills. 1. Singapore is an equatorial country with only one season -- it's hot all year round. 2. The river was contaminated by pollution from the nearby factories. 3. The ancient civilization of Egypt built the pyramids which are still standing today. 4. Modern astronomers can use a radio telescope to look at the outer edges of the universe. 5. All living organisms on Earth contain carbon. 6. Primitive creatures like jellyfish and corals have survived for millions of years.
Expanding your creativity
Alien interviews You might turn this activity into a competition among the students. Give students 5 minutes to prepare the questions individually and another 10 minutes for the interview. The whole class can observe the paired interviews and judge which pair has the "best questions and answers". Some sample questions from the journalist: What can you tell us about other forms of life which we don't have on Earth? Which planets have you been to and is there life on them? What is the population on your planet? Do you have families and children? Do you have your own language and culture? What do you eat to survive? How do you travel in space?

大学英语B 阅读理解答案

阅读理解 B 42、Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later. Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black.

The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. James had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning.

In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. (1)、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families. A：T B：F 答案：A (2)、Families of the past, the present and the future are described in the passage. A：T B：F 答案：A (3)、People no longer want to have children. A：T B：F 答案：B (4)、Grandparents will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future. A：T B：F 答案：B (5)、Large families cannot fit in with a highly industrialized society. A：T B：F 答案：A 45、My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it and I washed a lot of things. Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this. I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!

《儿子的创意》阅读附答案

《儿子的创意》阅读附答案 阅读文段，回答下面问题（16分） 儿子的创意毕淑敏 有一天，儿子突然说：“我准备到日本旅游一次。”因为他经常异想天开，我置之不理。 他说：“咦，你为什么不表态?难道不觉得我很勇敢吗?”我说：“是啊是啊，很勇敢。可世上有些事并不单是勇敢就够用。比如这件事吧，还得有钱。” 他很郑重地说：“这上面写着，举办一个有关宗教博物馆建筑的创意征文比赛。金牌获得者，免费到日本观光旅游。”说着，把一本海外刊物递给我。我看也不看地说：“关于宗教，你懂得多少?关于建筑，你懂得多少?金牌银牌历来都只有一块，多么激烈的争夺。你还是好好做功课吧。” 他毫不气馁地说：“可是我有创意啊。比如这个博物馆里可以点燃藏香，给人一种浓郁的宗教气氛；比如这个博物馆里可以卖斋饭，让参观的人色香味立体地感受宗教。比如……”我打断他说：“别比如了，人家征的是建筑创意，要像悉尼的贝壳状大歌剧院，有独特的风格。我记得你小时候连积木都搭不好，还侈谈什么建筑!” 十几岁的儿子好脾气，不理睬我的挖苦，自语道：“在地面挖一个巨大的深坑，就要100米吧，然后把这个博物馆盖在地下……” 我说：“噢，那不成了地下宫殿?”儿子不理我，遐想着说：“博物馆和大地粗糙的岩石泥土间要留有空隙，再用透明的建筑材料砌外墙，这样参观的人们时时刻刻会感到土地的存在，产生一种神秘感。从底下向阳光明媚的地面攀升，会有人的自豪感。地面部分设计成螺旋状的飞梯，象征着人类将向宇宙探索……”。他在空中．比画了一个上大下小的图形。 我不客气地打断他：“挖到地下那么深的地方，会有矿泉水涌出来。你想过没有?再说什么样的建筑材料，可以长久地保持你所要求的透明度?还有你设计的飞梯，空中螺旋状，空中的螺旋状，多危险!还有……”儿子摆摆手说：“妈妈，您说的问题都是问题。不过那是工程师需要解决的问题，不关我的创意。妈妈，您知道什么是创意吗?那就是最富于创造性的意见啊!”我叹了一口气说：“好了，随你瞎想了。不过我要提醒你一句，对于一个学生来说，我以为最好的创意莫过于一个好成绩了。” 儿子在电脑上完成了他的创意。 很长时间过去了，在我们几乎将这件事淡忘的时候，儿子收到了一个那家征丈举办部门寄来的，写着他的名字并称他为“先生”的大信封。我们拆开信，里面是一张请柬，邀请儿子到海外参加发奖仪式。儿子苦恼地说：“现在赶去也来不及了。再说他们也没说清我是不是获奖者。” 当我们把这件事完全忘记的时候，接到了征文举办部门的第二封信。信中说，我的儿子没能去拳加那天隆重的发奖仪式，他们深感遗憾。儿子得了创意银牌奖，奖牌及奖金他们设法转来。 儿子放学回来，还没有摘书包，我就把信给他。他看了一眼，然后淡淡地说：“银牌啊?我想我是该得金牌的。一定是他们觉得我年岁小，一个人到日本去不方便，商量了一下就说，算了，给他个银牌吧”

大学英语一题库阅读理解_试卷_答案

大学英语一阅读理解 一、阅读理解（共505题,共101分） 1. Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” acro ss the country seeking to kick the habit. This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase. The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely. In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78. The influence is obvious. In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records. Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.” That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better. （1分） (1) The text is mainly about___________. （0.2分） A.the price of cigarettes B.the rate of teen smoking C.the effect of tobacco tax increase D.the differences in tobacco tax rate 标准答案：C (2) What does the author think is a surprise? （0.2分） A.Teen smokers are price sensitive. B.Some states still keep the tobacco tax low. C.Tobacco taxes improve public health. D.Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise. 标准答案：B (3) The underlined word "deter” in Paragr aph 3 most probably means . （0.2分） A.discarding B.remove C.benefit D.free 标准答案：A (4) Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of . （0.2分） A.tolerance B.unconcern C.doubt D.sympathy 标准答案：D (5) What can we learn from the last paragraph? （0.2分） A.The new tax will be beneficial in the long run. B.Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.

Unit 1 Advertising Part A: Comprehending the text 1.to inform us of new products or good bargains/help producers to sell their products. … we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it. 2.visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern//study the fascinating sea creatures of that area. … use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course; visit the less adventurous places of interest ( in an air-conditioned vehicle) such as a local lake. … around Lake Tali. … the accommodation “units”. … the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money. 3. small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean. … dangerous because of the many sharks. … there is no water in it. … it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true. … Bantu Island is a long way away so the money will be traveling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaning of money lasting longer as things are so cheap. 4. to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised. Part C Interpreting the text 1.The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases, “legalized lying”. The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously very misleading --- and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth. 2.Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not want to go on any tours. 3.No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies ---- simply did not tell the whole truth or misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) --- it does not actually say that they don’t have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say that are sharks, etc. 4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problem that is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, “special offers” on CDs, books, etc.

统考大学英语A-阅读理解题库

阅读理解大学英语A 1、Throughout the colonial period there was a remarkable shortage of women, which varied with the regions and was always greatest in the frontier areas. This shortage enhanced women's status and position and allowed them to pursue different careers. The puritans regarded idleness as a sin, and believed that life in an underdevelopment country made it necessary that each member of the community performed an economic function. Thus work for women was not only approved but also was regarded as a civic duty. Puritan town councils expected widows and independent women to be self-supporting. There was no social prohibition against married women working; on the contrary, wives were expected to help their husbands in their trade and won social approval for doing extra work in or out of the home. The vast majority of women worked within their homes, where their labor produced most articles needed for the family. The entire colonial production of cloth and clothing and partly that of shoes was in the hands of women. In addition to these occupations, women were found in many different kinds of employment. They were butchers, silversmiths and gunsmiths. They ran mills, plantations, shipyards, and every kind of shop. They were gatekeepers, jail keepers, journalists, printers, nurses, and teachers. (1)、What does the passage mainly discuss A：Colonial marriages. B：The puritan religion. C：Colonial women's employment. D：Education in the colonies. 答案：C (2)、According to the passage, where in colonial North America were there the fewest women A：Puritan communities. B：Seaports. C：Frontier settlements. D：Capital cities. 答案：C (3)、It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans were ______.
