Directions: Read the following passage and then answer the questions. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.

Ending School Violence

Since the tragedy at Columbine High School last spring, schools have been rushing to add new security measures. Will these work? Or are other changes needed to protect students?

The bullet holes placed in the walls have been covered over. The

halls have been repainted. Bloody carpet has been replaced. But for many students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, no amount of redecoration can wipe away the bitter memory of the shooting that took 15 lives there on April 20, 1999.

School shootings from Mississippi to Oregon have left many students feeling afraid for their safety in school. Littleton was not the first such tragedy. But it was the most violent in recent years. According to Ronald Stephens, president of the National School Safety Council, "Littleton changed the landscape," on school safety issues.

Since April, politicians, school administrators, parents, and students have been searching for answers about how to prevent tragedies like Littleton from happening again.

How Violent Are Schools?

Although the stories from Littleton and other schools have been horrifying, crime in schools is actually declining. In 1993, there were 164 crimes for every 1,000 students ages 12 to 18. In 1996, the number had dropped to 128 per 1,000. Furthermore, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), less than one percent of all murders among schoolchildren ages 5-19 happen in or around school grounds or on the way to or from school. Still, many experts believe that is not good enough. The CDCP study warns that "the occurrence of youth violence and school violence is still unacceptably high."

Stronger Security

What are schools doing to reduce violence? "We've been in numerous meetings with school counselors, police, and other principals to develop a plan to meet the needs of our schools," Bert Ammerman, a high school principal in New Jersey, said.

He's not alone. At Williams Bay High School in Wisconsin, the police held practice school-shooting drills over the summer.

In Coweta County, Georgia, students must carry books in see-through bags so that they can't hide guns.

Other schools are adopting strict dress codes and requiring that backpacks be checked often. Some schools are setting up hot lines or are encouraging students to tell a teacher if a classmate

threatens to hurt himself or herself or others. "Our kids are still our best eyes and ears," said Ammerman.

Sometimes, school security measures conflict with personal rights. Debra Jacobs of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said the organization has been "flooded" by calls from parents and students who complain that schools have been violating student First Amendment rights to free expression. For instance, a high school student in Marble Hill, Missouri, was failed for a whole semester because he posted a Web site on his home computer that was critical of his high school. "Banning all expression will make it difficult to identify kids who really need help," Jacobs said.

Helping Troubled Teens

Many experts say that adding more security measures is not enough. Ronald Stephens of the National School Safety Council said that one good way to stop crime is to help kids before trouble starts. "Teachers need to look for early warning signs and provide counseling and support for kids who are at risk."

One example is helping programs that pair a troubled teen with a caring grown-up. Such programs have been shown to reduce the risk that troubled students will become criminals. Programs that give young people a place to hang out after school have helped to reduce crime, because most criminal acts by young people take place between 3:00 and 8:00 p.m.

Many schools are putting programs in place to protect children from bigger, stronger kids. According to experts, children who are pushed around and intimidated by other children, and those who do the intimidating, are at higher risk for emotional problems. Columbine High School, which has had problems with this in the past, is adding a program to prevent intimidating behavior. Frank DeAngelis, the school's principal, said, "At Columbine High School, we will have zero tolerance for cruelty, discrimination, violence, and intimidation."

Society's Responsibility

Many experts believe that the shootings at Columbine and other schools are not just a school problem. They say that problems in American society also play a role. Some experts say there is too much violence in the media, including movies, music, and TV. The American Academy of Young People's Health has urged a limit to the

amount of TV kids watch because it is too violent.

President and Mrs. Clinton recently made a series of public service announcements for television. In one ad, the President tells parents: "Our children need our help to deal with tough issues like violence. Please talk to your kids. Help them understand." President Clinton also announced $15 million in grants to schools and organizations that fight school-related crimes.

Not everyone agrees that media violence is a major cause of violence by kids. "Many young people view violent movies and video games, but most of them do not shoot up their schools as a result," Debra Jacobs of the ACLU said. Sociologist Bonnie Berry agrees. "I think the problem is guns," she said. "A lot of people are saying that young people today are more set apart than they were. I don't think so. But they do have access to lots of guns, and to dangerous guns."

The statistics paint a sad picture. Nearly 90 percent of murders of people ages 15 to 24 are caused by guns. In June, a bill was proposed in Congress to limit selling guns at gun shows. The measure failed to pass.

Bob Levy of the conservative Cato Institute said that he doesn't believe we need new gun laws. "We have all the laws we need, but we don't enforce them," he said. Education Secretary Richard Riley said, "This country has really created a culture of violence in which it is very easy to have access to guns. Americans really do need to stop and think about what is happening."

Inexcusable Behavior

Many experts say that no matter what provoked the Littleton shooters, the killing of young people is inexcusable. Bert Ammerman said, "You don't shoot people because your parents are divorced, or you're intimidated, or your girlfriend broke up with you. It's unacceptable!"

Students Take Action

Students are taking action to stop school violence.

Ms. Heather Beck's sociology classes in Lakewood, Colorado, have started a campaign to collect "I will" pledges from students around the country. Students who sign the pledge promise, among other things, to "be part of the solution" and to "do my part to make my

community a safe place by being more sensitive to others."

After the Columbine killings, kids in Colorado started an organization called Sane Alternatives to the Gun Epidemic in Colorado, which lobbies for stronger gun-control laws. They are trying to expand their organization across the US As Ben Gelt, 18, one of organization's founders, told the Denver Post, "I believe that if students can organize, they can bring about change."

Part 4 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题：分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred (上帝的) texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫), two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.

No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was.

1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when

it is _______.

A. repeated without variation

B. treated with respect

C. adapted by the parent

D. set in the present

2.Some people dislike fairy stories because they feel that they

________.

A. tempt people to be cruel to children

B. show the primitive cruelty in children

C. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with children

D. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children

3.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in a

child when the story is ________.

A. set in reality

B. heard for the first time

C. repeated too often

D. dramatically told

4.The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant

to suggest that ________.

A. fairy stories are still being made up

B. there is confusion about different kinds of truth

C. people try to modernize old fairy stories

D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the

passage?

A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth of

children.

B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society.

C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of the

reality.

D. No fairy story should be told to the children without

modification.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Standing alone at the Browns' party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind's eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.

She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward's pleading (恳求).

In the Browns' rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.

In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.

The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room.

When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.

6.Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?

A. She came to the party too early.

B. She was neglected by the host.

C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.

D. She didn't know anyone there.

7.What made Anna feel inadequate?

A. She did not make a good mother to her children.

B. She was unable to satisfy her husband's desire to have

children.

C. She did not get along well with her husband.

D. She was unable to have a better understanding of her

husband.

8.As time went by, Anna started to get angry as ________.

A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they were

B. her husband was usually more thoughtful

C. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to her

D. her husband was bad-mannered in the party

9.According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend the

party because ________.

A. he wanted her to have more of a social life

B. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughts

C. he needed her support

D. he thought she would impress the Browns

10.What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage?

A. Sensitive and worried.

B. Open and talkative.

C. Imaginative and cheerful.

D. Sensible and easygoing.

第一单元 The Doctrine of the Mean is the core ofConfucianism. The so-called “mean” by Confuciusdoesn’t mean “compromise” but a “moderate”and “just-right” way when understanding andhandling objective things. Confucius advocatedthat this thought should not only be treated as away to understand and deal with things but alsobe integrated into one’s daily conduct to makeit a virtue through self-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core ofConfucianism but also an important componentof traditional Chinese culture. From the time itcame into being to the present, it has played aninvaluable role in the construction of nationalspirit, the transmission of national wisdom, and the development of national culture. 中庸思想是儒家思想的重要内容。孔子所谓的“中”不是指“折中”，而是指在认识和处理客观事物时的一种“适度”和“恰如其分”的方法。孔子主张不仅要把这种思想作为一种认识和处理事物的方法来看待，而且还通过自身修养和锻炼，把它融入自己的日常行为当中，使之成为一种美德。中庸思想是儒家思想的

新视野大学英语第一册课文翻译 Unit 1 1学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 2我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 3到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 4好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 5直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 6网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 7我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 8学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。 Unit 3 1在我还未成年时，如果有人看到我和父亲在一块儿，我就会觉得难堪。他腿瘸得很厉害，个子又矮。我们一起走路时，他的手搭在我臂上以保持平衡，人们就会盯着看。对于这种讨厌的注视，我打心眼里感到别扭。即使父亲注意到这些或感到不安，他也从不表露出来。 2我们的步伐难以协调一致——他常常停下脚步，而我的步子却显得不耐烦。正因为如此，我们一路很少说话。但每次出门时，他总说：“你按你的步速走，我跟着你。” 3我们通常就在地铁口和家门口之间来回，那是他上班的路线。他生病或天气恶劣时也坚持上班，几乎从不缺勤。他总是准点到办公室，即使别人做不到。这是件可以引以为荣的事。4当路上覆盖冰雪时，即使有人搀扶，他也难以行走。这种时候，我或者我的姐妹们就用一辆带有钢轮的儿童推车拉着他穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道到地铁站口。一到那儿，他就紧抓着地铁口的扶手一直往下走，因为地铁内比较暖和，下面几级台阶没有冰雪。曼哈顿的地铁站直通他们办公楼的地下室，他不用出站（就可到办公室）。下班回家时，我们会去布鲁克林

英语口语总结(新视野大学英语4第二版)

Unit1 Some artists seeks for fame , but t hey don’t realized that chasing fame often leads to self destruction. However, it’s difficult for us to resist the temptation that fame brings us. Some gain fame quickly by developing a unique style with the help of agents. However, with the pressure to keep audience’s lasting enthusiasm, they lost their freedom to express themselves freely. And the example of Oscar Wilde exactly proved the view. There is a point that the greatest winners are those who initially failed in the conquest of fame, because they won freedom instead. With the example of Thomas Wolfe and Pestalozzi , we know that failure is the beginning of success. In a word, try to be happy in your lifetime instead of trying hard to achieve success. Unit2 Chaplin is a great comedian not only for his motherland but also for the world. The character of “the tramp”made him famous, though the Tramp was considered a little crude at first. and his clothes gave him an appearance more like an Italian waiter than anything else. He resisted making a talking movie until 1936 when he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. Chaplin achieved great success because he has the talent to explore and use his physical senses to invent his art. However, the collision between the need to be loved and the fear of being betrayed resulted in disaster in his emotional life which was shown in his movies. Eventually, life gave Chaplin the stable happiness, that is, his marriage with Oona O’Neil. Unit5 While loneliness is very common in the U.S., few people want to admit it because it is considered as a sort of social disease. It is seen as admirable for American heroes to go alone into the wild areas and for poets and philosophers to seek out solitude. Some poets and philosophers, like William, Milton and Thoreau, enjoy inspiration from solitude. When an individual is solitary out of choice, the experience is less enjoyable. It is our basic need to talk to someone not only about the big things but also about the little daily things. As a consequence, lonely people will talk about the little things to themselves, the dog and, most embarrassingly , to total strangers. Therefore, it’s important for ordinary people to stay rational, make themselves comfortable and find some grace and pleasure in their home. Unit6 Bribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries. Bribery indeed have become a fact of commercial life. We divide these payments into three broad categories. The first category consists of substantial payments made for political purposes or to secure major contracts. The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some projects. The third category involves payments made into countries where it is traditional to pay people to help with the passage of a business deal. There are some ways to prohibit bribery. ICC favors a code of conduct that would ban the giving and seeking of bribes. Unfortunately, opinions differ among the members of ICC concerning how to enforce the code. Anyway, today’s businessman will frequently meet situations where it is difficult to square his business interests with his moral conscience. Unit10 If a business does not adapt to changes in the business environment, then it will fail. Recently it has been argued that smart but inflexible employees don’t necessarily have the abilities to adapt to this ever-changing environment. It would appear that flexibility and emotional intelligence rather than IQ is a more accurate measure of intelligence. It is also a more accurate predictor of

第二册 新视野大学英语（第二版）第二册Unit 1 Unit 1 Section A I Comprehension of The Text 1. The attitude is that if one is not moving ahead he is falling behind. 2. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. (People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it.) They do this because time is a precious resource. 3. Everyone is in a rush — often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. 4. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain appropriate point. 5. New arrivals in America will miss opening exchanges, the ritual interaction that goes with a cup of coffee or tea and leisurely chats. 6. Americans produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices. They communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts. 7. The impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand. 8.
