Passage One

Hobbs was an orphan.He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money.Hard work changed him thin and weak.He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures,but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day the lawyer said to him,―One thousand dollars,and here is the money.‖As Hobbs took the package of notes,he was very dumbfounded(惊呆了的).He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it.He said to himself,―I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days;or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do:painting pictures.I could do that for a few weeks,but what would I do after that?I should have lost my place of the factory and have no money to live on.If it were a little less money,I would buy a new coat,or a radio,or give a dinner to my friends.If it were more,I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures.But it's too much for one and too little for the other.‖

―Here is the reading of your uncle's will,‖said the lawyer,―telling what is to be done with this money after his death.I must ask you to remember one point.Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money,as soon as you have spent it.‖

Passage Two

By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others.They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them.Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past.Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one.Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them.They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic.But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer.In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell.For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love.Good looks certainly help.So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media.But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F.Kennedy, and Princess Diana.16.The passage mainly deals with _______.A.life and death

B.heroes and heroines D.icons and celebritiesC.heroes and icons

17.Heroes and heroines are usually _______.A.courageous

C.self-sacrificingB.good example to follow D.all of the above

18.Which of the following statements is wrong?

A.Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B.Superstars are famous for being famous.C.One’s look can contribute to being famous.D.Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.19.Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______.A.when she was 19

C.just before her deathB.when she became a princess D.after she gave birth to a prince

20.What is more likely to set an icon’s status?

A.Good looks.B.Tragic and early death.D.The quality of one’s story.C.Personal attraction.参考答案16-20: CDDCB

III． 词汇与结构（如有差别，请以教材答案为准）

16.I didn’t know what to do, but then an idea suddenly _____to me.a.appearedb.happenedc.occurredd.emerged

17.This is the student ______ I know will pass the TOEFL test.a.whob.whomc.whosed.what

18.The manager will not ______us to use his car.a.haveb.letc.agreed.allow

20.Mike is better than Peter _____ swimming.a.forb.atc.ond.in

参考答案：16—20：c a d d b

IV.完形填空

A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless.He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success.He is to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.illustrates this.When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic.His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents what ―Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?‖ He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem the other students had been able to solve.This gave him confidence.He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show themconfidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit.He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.21.A.foundB.noneC.likelyD.InE.which

第三篇：大学英语推荐

亲们，高考英语成绩有点拉分有木有？开学英语有个入学等级考试，有点担心有木有？不小心被分到一级倍受打击有木有？

英语，从进入大学之后，几乎变成了自学。我们学校不似有些学校，在大一上半学期的冬天就能考四级，而是2,3级的在大一下夏天才有第一次机会，而1级的同学只有等到大二上学期才能有机会。你一定要坚信，在大学的英语课堂上学到的东西很少，而仅仅保持你高考的英语水平都得你在课外付出很多努力。

去年我定了21世纪英语周报，觉得还不错，今年我果断做了报纸的代理。

报纸每周一期，彩印加黑白印，不仅有实事，有娱乐资讯，有四六级的真题和模拟预测题。同时订报纸附赠英语专区教育卡，四六级词典。

为英语……奋斗吧，孩纸们！

08/09学年教学与管理安排

按照外语学院大学英语教研室期中教学、教务会议精神，和近期各学院及师生对教学反映。我们对大学英语08/09学年教学与管理作如下安排：

1、06级“英语视听说”教材使用《新世纪大学英语视听说》（上海外语教育出版社）第3、4册。上课地点：各语言实验室。

2、在07级“综合英语”和“口语”课程中增加授课内容：“翻译和写作”；翻译教材使用毛荣贵教授编写的《新世纪大学英汉翻译教程》（上海交通大学出版社）。每周课型设计：“综合英语”2节+“口语+翻译和写作”2节。

3、08年级普通本科（除音乐、体育、美术类本科外）教学环节细述如下：

1）、普通本科继续实施网络教学。对新生入学时进行分班教学，分A、B、C三种类型。分班原则：浙江省考生按照高考分数分班，外省新生按照A班占1/4，B班占1/2，C班占1/4的比例，将学生划入各模块教学班。所用教材与07级相同。不过教学计划应重新编写，选择合适的章节授课。期末统一出卷。

2）、在“口语”课中增加与专业和时事相关的口语练习内容，任课教师协作编写口语练习教材，教学过程应体现地方性综合大学的特点。同时落实课内“快速阅读”练习。

3）、音乐、体育、美术类本科学生按照传统行政班级教学，每周4节课。教材使用上海外语教育出版社全新版大学英语预备级（底起点+高起点）和综合教程第一、二册全套（综合英语、阅读、视听说、快速阅读）。期末统一出卷。

4）、08专生本的班级按照教学行政班级，不参加网络模块教学班。教材使用大学英语全新版第3、4册的“综合英语”、“阅读”、“视听说”、“快速阅读”。每周4节课。时间1学年，期末单独出卷。

5）08学前专科、08体育高职按照教学行政班级教学教材使用大学英语全新版预备级（底起点+高起点）“综合英语”、“阅读”、“视听说”、“快速阅读”。每周4节课。时间1学年，期末单独出卷。

4、认真总结一年来网络教学改革，努力撰写教学科研论文。教研室将对诸如论文版面费给以适度补贴。

请求增加口语教室数量的要求

根据一年来大学英语口语教学的现状。为确保08年级网络教学改革，经核实应增加多媒体大学英语口语教室如下：

学院路：1个（原1个）

茶山南校区：1个（原3个）

请教务处、现代教育技术中心与外语学院合作讨论有关事项。

I.Lesson 3

Background information

A.About the author

Richard MoranMore Crime and Less Punishment

Richard Moran is a criminologist and a leading expert on the insanity defense,capital punishment, and the history of the electric chair.The author of numerous

articles and reviews, Moran has also written articles for the Washington Post,Christian Science Monitor, New York Times, and Newsweek.The Executioner's Current

It is the story of how the electric chair developed out of an effort by one nineteenth-century

electric company to discredit the other.EdisonEdison, Thomas Alva(1847-1931)a US inventor who made over 1300 electrical inventions, including the , the record player, and equipment for the cinema.He is most famous for inventing the(=a glass container with a thin wire inside, which produces light by using electricity).When Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse(1846-1914, 美国发明家)were building the first power plants in the country, electric light was a bizarre new technology that few people understood and many people feared.Adding to the confusion were the two competitors' attempts to promote their own systems and discredit the other.When New York State began considering electrocution as a method of capital punishment, Edison recommended Westinghouse's alternating current for the unseemly task.Westinghouse, not wanting the negative stigma associated with his system, fought back, and a truly well intentioned government effort to find a more humane method of execution became a courtroom battle for commercial supremacy between two competing pioneers.Moran's account is broad, covering the electric power struggle between Edison and Westinghouse, the trial and execution of the first man to die in the electric chair, and the history of the capital punishment debate in the U.S.Edison's popularity as a cultural hero lends appeal to the entertaining drama of the power companies' competition, and the surprisingly colorful history of the electric chair makes for fascinating reading.
