Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below, I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street, only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately, things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly growing old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors arc growing old and won't be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother anymore, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at one time I thought they would live forever. The ―comings and goings‖ of the younger generation of my street are now mostly ―going‖ as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolve around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games, or from a breathtaking ride on a bicycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away only makes me long for the good old days. Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for new homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod. There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something 1 happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places change, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child. Statements 1. By saying “nostalgic”, the writer means that he misses his parents very much. 2.

When the writer says that his street will be another pea in the pod, he means that his street will have some new attractions. 10. The writer will move out of his street like many of his neighbors in a year or so. II(CVB Directions: Choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences. (Key: D) 1.

It's a common known fact that Internet addiction can have a devastating effect on young peoples' health and social lives. Students may waste too much of their youth in front of a computer screen. Many youth are the only child in their families. They don't have enough chance to associate with parents. Also, the lack of activities for them can lead to internet addiction. When people grow up, if they don't spend time on sports or other positive interests they often turn to the Internet to kill time. How do we deal with this problem? Associating more with family, friends and nature can really help internet addicts kick the habit. Everyone understands that parents nowadays are busy, but if they just spend more time communicating with their kids, they can help avoid their children from becoming addicted to the internet. But more than this, all of society should become concerned about the negative sides of the Internet. Thoroughly eradicating the problem of internet addiction involves many branches of society. We need more positive cultural products, we need to communicate with others more in the real world, and we also need to think about balancing economic prosperity with the futures of our kids. 第二单元 I(RF 3-RF-02 Key: 1-5 T N F F T 6-10 T T F F T 4 Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and read ten statements after it. For statements1-10, write T (for True) if the statement agrees with the information given in the above paragraph(s); F (for False) if the statement contradicts the information given in the above paragraph(s); N (for Not given) if the statement is not given in the above paragraph(s); She Wanted to Teach A railroad was being built all the way down the east coast off Florida, from Jacksonville to Miami and Negro workers were employed because they were cheap. A great many of them were in Daytona. Most of them had children. They were living in shacks worse than those in the Terry in Augusta. The children were running wild in the streets. Mary Bethune seemed to hear a voice say, ―What is the place? Build your school there.‖ Her husband, Albertus, wasn’t so sure about her school. He thought Palatka was a pretty good place for them to live. Mary listened but she never gave up her idea. She knew that if she went to Daytona, Albertus would come too. One day she begged a ride for herself and her little boy with a family that was going to Daytona. It was only seventy miles away. But in 1904 the sand was deep on Florida roads. Practically no one had an automobile — certainly not the poor family that gave Mary and little Albert a ride. So it was three dusty days after they left Palatka before they reached Daytona. There Mary hunted up the only person she knew, and she and little Albert stayed with this friend for a few days. As she had done in The Terry in Augusta, Mary walked up and down the poor streets of Daytona. She was looking for two things — a building for the school she was determined to start and some pupils for that school. After a day or two, she found an empty shack on Oak Street. She thought this would do. The owner said she could rent it for $11.00 a month. But it wasn’t worth that much. The paint had peeled off, the front steps wobbled (摇晃) so that she had to hang onto the shaky railing to keep from falling, the house was dirty, it had a leaky roof. In most of the windows the panes of glass were broken or cracked. Eleven dollars a month! Mary said she only had $1.50. She promised to pay the rent as soon as she could earn the money. The owner trusted her. By the time she was sure she could have the building, she had five little girls from the neighborhood as her pupils. What a school! A rickety old house and five little girls! The little girls pitched in and cleaned the house. The neighbors helped with scrubbing brushes, brooms, hammers, nails, and saws. Soon the cottage could be lived in, but there were no chairs, no tables, no beds. There was no stove. However, there were no pots and pans to cook in, even if there had been a stove. Mary set about changing these things. She found things in trash piles and the city dump. Nobody but Mary would have thought of making tables and chairs and desks from the old crates she picked up and brought home. Behind the hotels on the beach she found cracked dishes, old lamps, even some old clothes. She took them home too. Everything was scoured and mended and used. ―Keep things clean and neat‖ was her motto then; and as long as she lived the pupils in her school had to live up to that motto. Her little pupils had no pencils. They wrote with pieces of charcoal made from burned logs. Their ink was elderberry juice. What good was ink or a pencil if there was no paper to write on? Mary took care of that too. Every time she went to the store to get a little food, or a few pots and pans, she had each article wrapped separately. The pieces of wrapping paper were carefully removed and smoothed out. The little girls used this paper to write their lessons with their charcoal pencils. She needed a cookstove very badly but she couldn’t pay for one. What should she do? Her little pupils had to have warm food. Unexpectedly, the problem was solved for her. One day a wrinkled old white neighbor said to her, ―Can you read?‖ Mary said, ―Yes.‖ ―Then will you read me this letter from my son? I can’t find my glasses‖ Mary read the letter to her. ―Thanks,‖ said the mother. Mary turned to go. ―You’re welcome.‖ The old woman stood by her open door and thought a moment. Then she said, ―I got an old cookstove and I don’t need it. Would you want it?‖ Statements 1. According to the passage, we know that a railroad was under construction and it would connect Jacksonville with Miami. 2. The children of the Negro workers couldn’t attend school because Negroes had low social status. 3. Mary’s husband, Albertus, was in favor of her idea of going to Daytona. 4. Mary and little Albert took a car and reached Daytona three days after they left Palatka. 5. Mary was making preparations for her school. 6. The empty shack on Oak Street was in poor condition. 7. We can infer that Mary succeeded in renting the shack from the owner and she enrolled five girl students. 8. Mary couldn’t find a solution to furnish her school with tables, chairs and desks. 9. Mary’s pupils used elderberry juice to write with because they preferred it to ink. 5 10. An old woman offered an old cookstove to Mary and Mary solved her problem unexpectedly.

You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1. 越来越多的人意识到体育锻炼的重要性; 2. 有各种不同形式的锻炼方式适应各种人的爱好; 3. 我所采用的锻炼方式。 英文范文: Physical Exercise More and more people today are realizing the importance of physical exercise. Because of better working conditions, nowadays people don’t need to do hard jobs and their daily lives do not provide them with the exercise their body need. In order to keep them healthy and make their body strong, they must spend part of their free time doing physical exercise. There are many different forms of physical exercise to suit different tastes. Some people enjoy playing tennis or badminton or swimming. Others prefer to go running or jogging regularly in the morning and evening. Most elderly people go in for the traditional forms of exercise; you can see them learning and practicing qigong or taijiquan. The traditional forms of exercise suit them best. As a college student I also persist in doing physical exercise so as to keep healthy and concentrate my energies on my study. Every morning I do morning exercise and run around the playground. After class in the afternoon, I play basketball and table tennis. Besides, I have physical education courses every week. 第三单元 I. RF 3-RF-03 Key: 1-5 T F N T F 6-10 F N T T T Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and read ten statements in it. For statements 1-10, write T (for True) if the statement agrees with the information given in the above paragraph(s); F (for False) if the statement contradicts the information given in the above paragraph(s); N (for Not given) if the statement is not given in the above paragraph(s); Best of friends, Worlds Apart Havana, sometime before 1994: As dusk descends on the quaint seaside village of Guanabo, two young men kick a soccer ball back and forth and back and forth across the sand. The tall one, Joel Ruiz, is black. The short, muscular one, Achmed Valdes, is white. They are the best of friends. Miami, January 2000: Mr. Valdes is playing soccer, as he does every Saturday, with a group of light-skinned 7 Lationos in a park near his apartment. Mr. Ruiz surprises him with a visit, and Mr. Valdes, flushed and sweating, runs to greet him. They shake hands warmly. But when Mr. Valdes darts back to the game, Mr. Ruiz stands off to the side, arms crossed, looking on as his childhood friend plays the game that was once their shared joy. Mr. Ruiz no longer plays soccer. He prefers basketball with black Latinos and African-Americans from his neighborhood. The two men live only four miles apart, not even 15 minutes by car. Yet they are separated by a far greater distance, one they say they never imagined back in Cuba. In ways that are obvious to the black man but far less so to the white one, they have grown apart in the United States because of race. For the first time, they inhabit a place where the color of their skin defines the outlines of their lives , where they live, the friends they make, how they speak, what they wear, even what they eat. ―It’s like I am here and he is over there,‖ Mr. Ruiz said, ―And we can’t cross over to the other’s world.‖ It is not that, growing up in Cuba’s mix of black and white, they were unaware of their difference in color. Fidel Castro may have officially put an end to racism in Cuba, but that does not mean racism has simply gone away. Still, color was not what defined them. Nationality, they had been taught, meant far more than race. They felt, above all, Cuban. Here in America, Mr. Ruiz still feels Cuban. But above all he feels black. His world is a black world, and to live there is to be constantly conscious of race. He works in a black-owned bar, dates black women, goes to an African-American barber. ―White barbers‖, he say, ―don’t understand black hair.‖ He generally avoids white neighborhoods, and when his world and the white world meet, he feels always watched, and he is always watchful. For Joel Ruiz, there is little time for relaxation. On this night, he works as a cashier at his uncle’s bar in a black Miami neighborhood. Mr. Valdes, who is 29, a year younger than his childhood friend, is simply, comfortably Cuban, an upwardly mobile citizen of the Miami mainstream. He lives in an all-white neighborhood, hangs out with white Cuban friends and goes to black neighborhoods only when his job, as a deliveryman for Restonic mattresses, forces him to. When he thinks about race, which is not very often, it is in terms learned from other white Cubans: American blacks, he now believes, are to be avoided because they are dangerous and resentful of whites. The only blacks he trusts, he says, are those he knows from Cuba. Since leaving Havana in separate boats in 1994, the two friends have seen each other just a handful of times in Miami , at a funeral, a baby shower, a birthday party and that soccer game, a meeting arranged for a newspaper photographer. They have visited each other’s homes only once. They say they remain as good friends as ever, yet they both know there is little that binds them anymore but their memories. Had they not become best friends in another country, in another time, they would not be friends at all today. Statements and Mr. Valdes are both Cuban- Americans. 1. Mr. Ruiz 2. Mr. Ruiz and Mr. Valdes feel separated from each other in the United States because they don’t live in the same neighborhood. 3. In the United States, the color of one’s skin will influence the way they travel 4. In Cuba, people feel that compared to nationality, the color of one’s skin is unimportant. 5. Mr. Valdes thinks white barbers don’t understand black hair. 6. Living in a white neighborhood, Mr. Valdes seems to be unconscious of racial issues. 7. Mr. Ruiz lives in an apartment in a black neighborhood. 8. It can be inferred from the passage that Mr. Valdes can still move up the social ladder. 9. Both Mr. Ruiz and Mr. Valdes left Cuba in 1994. 10. All that Mr. Ruiz and Mr. Valdes have left of their friendship are their memories. II.

V. GW Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on On Optional Courses. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1.选修课给学生带来很多好处。 9 2.选修课也对学生产生一些负面影响。 3.我的观点。 英文范文: On Optional Courses The discussion about optional courses has never stopped in the past few years. Its advantages and disadvantages are evident. The biggest advantage of optional courses is its variety. Students can choose any course in which they have a special interest. What’s more, optional courses often bring creative research findings or up-to-date breakthroughs, which are hardly seen in normal courses. However, the negative effects are also obvious. To begin with, some students choose optional courses only to earn some credits or obtain a certificate --- they never put their hearts into studying the subject. In the second place, optional courses take up too much time and it is difficult for students to make the best of both worlds. Up till now, we can see it clearly that an optional course is not beneficial or harmful in itself. In my opinion, the key lies in the user --- so long as we can make use of it properly, it can be most helpful for us in many respects. 第4单元 I(RF 3-RF-04 Key: 1-5 FFTFN 6-10 TFFFT Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and read ten statements in it. For statements1-10, write T (for True) if the statement agrees with the information given in the above paragraph(s); F (for False) if the statement contradicts the information given in the above paragraph(s); N (for Not given) if the statement is not given in the above paragraph(s); Black Holes It was a star vastly larger than our own sun. For hundreds of years this giant star burned brightly in its corner of the universe. Then, at the end of its life span, a strange thing happened. The dying star began to collapse in on itself. While the star was in its death throes, all the matter that made up the star was squeezed together into a smaller and smaller area. Soon the star measured no more than a mile across. Its matter was so tightly packed that a piece of it the size of a small stone weighed as much as a mountain. As the dead star continued to fall into itself, it brought with it every bit of matter in the area. Every speck of dust, every stray atom, was dragged into it. The star had become a black hole. A black hole is a small area of matter so dense that not even a light beam can escape the pull of its gravity. Since no light can leave black holes, there is no way for us to see them. They are invisible. We know of their existence because of the strange things that happen around them. Light that is traveling through space just vanishes. Just how wild is a black hole? Let’s take a look at gravity. A common expression related to gravity is, ―What goes up must come down.‖ When someone throws a ball into the air, it must return to Earth. This happens because Earth attracts the ball, or pulls it toward itself. A flowerpot that is knocked off a third-story window will always hit the sidewalk. It is only the great thrust of giant rockets that allows the space shuttle to escape the pull of earth’s gravity On a planet with double or triple Earth’s gravity, objects would act quite differently, because the pull, or attraction, would be much stronger. A ball thrown into the air would not go very high, and it would plunge quickly back to the surface of the planet. A falling flowerpot would be a deadly weapon. It would kill any luckless pedestrian who might happen to get hit by it. Rockets far more powerful than those used on Earth would be needed to break away from the pull of the planet’s gravity. Beams of light, however, would have no trouble at all escaping from this planet. Even if the force of gravity were increased to a million times that of Earth, light beams would still not be affected. Humans on such a world would be crushed flatter than their own shadows. Only if the amount of gravity were many millions of times stronger than Earth’s would light beams bent back to the surface. That is the case with a black hole. It is hard to imagine just how dense and heavy black hole matter is. A penny made from black hole matter would rip through your pocket and plunge through the earth with the greatest of ease. When it emerged on the other side, it would hover in the air for a moment and then plunge back through the earth. Black holes are the strangest objects in the universe. Nothing ever leaves a black hole. No light leaves it. No physical objects leave it. Once some thing enters a black hole, it is there forever. Black holes are like permanent detention halls in the sky. If a travel agent were to arrange a flight to a black hole, it would have to be a one-way trip. As the scientist Robert Jastrow said, ―It is almost as though the material inside the black hole no longer belongs to our universe. Suppose, just for the sake of amusement, that you happened to drop into a black hole. What would happen to you? Think of going feet first. Your feet would be pulled down faster than your ears. As a result, you would be drawn into a very thin thread of matter. Then the individual atoms of your body would be pulled apart. Were you to survive the trip, however, some scientists believe that you would emerge in the fourth dimension. You 10 would be in a totally different universe. The point where matter exists from this universe and goes into the next is referred to as a white hole. But, then, no one really knows for sure. Our knowledge of black holes is based only on informed guesswork. Statements 1. The giant star collapsed into several smaller stars at the end of its life span. 2. A black hole is a small piece of matter whose gravity is a million times that of the earth. 3. A black hole results from the death of a giant star. 4. Black holes are too far away to be seen by telescope. 5. Since objects would act quite differently on a planet with double or triple Earth’s gravity, people can not live on it. 6. Light is the last thing affected by the black hole. 7. A penny made from black hole matter would plunge through the earth again and again and never stop. 8. One day, travel agent would be able to arrange trips to black holes. 9. A white hole is at the bottom of a black hole. 10. Black holes are strange, extremely dense objects whose existence scientists can only guess about. II(CVB Directions: Choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences. (Key: A) 1.

Many patriotic education centers have been closed down or kept open to the public for other more profitable purposes while many of our national heroes have given way to today’s pop stars in youths’ minds. If allowed to run its course, this current is bound to turn for the worse, with less and less sense of patriotism left in the youth. The significance of patriotic education to our society, however, can be seen from the perspectives as follows. In the first place, the patriotic education can make youth more aware of the glorious history and culture of our nation, thus building up their sense of pride as Chinese. In the second, the patriotic education helps youth value today’s hard-earned life so as to hold dearer their golden chances of enriching themselves with knowledge in peace. And above all, the patriotic education can push youth to draw upon more of their capabilities in order to make tomorrow’s life better than today’s and leave behind themselves more highlights for the nation’s culture. So the most pressing for us now is how to effectively inculcate patriotism in the youth of today. In my opinion, the first step should be focused upon giving fuller play to the potentials of patriotic education centers instead of running them for the purpose of making money. Then, greater efforts must be made to integrate the patriotic education into the curriculums throughout youth’s education. In one word, where there is an effective patriotic education of youth, there is a greater enhancement of national cohesiveness. 第五单元 II( RF 3-RF-05 Key: 1-5 T N T T F 6-10 F F F T T Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and read ten statements after it.

From Your Valentine Considering the number of ethnic groups that make up the U.S. population, it is not surprising that Americans have a variety of different holidays. From Thanksgiving to Cinco de Mayo, from Chanukah to the Chinese New Year, they are seldom at a loss for a reason to celebrate. Some of these holidays are rather unusual. Some examples follow. Groundhog Day, February 2: The groundhog, a small burrowing animal also known as a woodchuck, is supposed to come out of his hole to look for his shadow on this day. As the legend goes, if he fails to see his shadow it means spring has come; if he 12 sees it he returns to his hole to sleep, for winter will continue for another six weeks. April Fool’s Day, April 1: Don't believe anything you hear on this day of tricks and jokes designed to make you an ―April Fool‖! Halloween，October 31: After dark, children dressed like ghosts and witches go from house to house shouting, ―Trick or treat!‖ The people they visit must fill their bags with candy and other treats or else the children will play tricks on them. Sadie Hawkins Day, the first Saturday after November 11: Traditionally, it is the boys who chase the girls, but on Sadie Hawkins Day a girl can keep any boy she can catch. On February 14 Americans celebrate another unusual holiday, St. Valentine’s Day, a special day for lovers. Valentines are cards — usually red and shaped like hearts — with messages of love written on them. Lovers send these cards to each other, often anonymously, on St. Valentine's Day. The origins of this holiday are uncertain, but according to one legend. it gets its name from a Christian priest named Valentine who lived in Rome during the third century after Christ. His job was to perform marriages for Christian couples. Unfortunately, the Emperor of Rome, Claudius II, did not allow Christian marriages, so they had to be performed in secret. Eventually Valentine was arrested and put into prison. While in prison he fell in love with the daughter of the prison guard. After one year, the Emperor offered to release Valentine if he would agree to stop performing these secret marriages. Valentine refused, so the Emperor sentenced him to death. Valentine was executed in 270 A.D. on February 14, the same day the Romans worshiped their goddess of marriage, Juno. Before he was killed, Valentine sent a love letter to the daughter of the prison guard. He signed the letter ―from your Valentine.‖ That was the first valentine. The next valentine was sent in 1415 A.D. Charles, Duke of Orleans sent the valentine to his wife while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. His valentine is now on exhibit in the British Museum. The first commercially printed valentines did not appear until 1809. Some of these valentines were not messages of love. Comic valentines or ―penny dreadfuls‖ as they were called, were often funny and sometimes insulting. The ―Golden Age‖ of valentines began in the 1840s when valentine makers started making elaborate and expensive valentines. Jonathan King became famous as a publisher of beautiful and unusual valentines in Britain in the 1870s. Esther Howland was the first to publish valentines in the United States, in the 1860s. She created handmade designs for valentines, which cost as much as thirty-five dollars. Valentine’s Day.

One day in 1848 a carpenter named Marshall, who worked in a saw mill on the American River in California, made a remarkable discovery. He noticed some bright yellow particles in the water, bent down to pick them up and took them to his partner, a Mr. Sutter. This was the beginning of the Californian Gold Rush. Sutter was a Swiss who had come to America some years earlier to make his fortune. The Governor of California had given him permission to found a settlement in the Sacramento Valley and his determination and energy had made him rich. He had built the mill in partnership with-Marshall in order to make use of the abundant natural resources of his land. Sutter realized the importance of the discovery and decided to file a claim so that his right to the gold would be established. So he sent a man named Bennet to San Francisco to see the Governor. He warned Bennet not to tell anyone in case people came to the valley before his claim was recognized. Bennet could not keep the secret but the people of San Francisco did not believe him at first. Then the editor of a weekly newspaper there, Sam Brannan, went to Sutter's mill to make a report. When he came back he ran through the streets of the town shouting "Gold! Gold!" Within a month almost the entire population, then only 800 people, had gone to look for the precious metal. Soldiers deserted the army, sailors left their ships and men gave up their jobs so as not to miss the chance of becoming rich. The news spread across America to Europe and thousands of people joined in the search. Those who went by ship had to sail round Cape Horn to reach California but some chose the overland route across America and wagon trains were formed for travelers to make the journey. Even then there were some who were prepared to cross the terrible desert of Death Valley in order to reach the gold a few days before the rest. The Gold Rush proved a disaster for Sutter himself. For years he tried to evict (驱逐) the prospectors from his property so that his family might enjoy the wealth of his land, but his business was ruined. The prospectors did a great deal of damage, and killed one of his sons, and at the end of his life he was a poor man who continually stopped people in the street to tell them that Gold is the Devil. Statements: 1. Marshall worked in a corn mill on the American River in California. 2. Marshall found the gold in the water by accident. 3. After Sutter heard about the gold he went to California to make his fortune. 4. To file a claim Sutter sent Marshall to San Francisco to see the Governor. 5. When Bennet told people there was gold in the Sacramento Valley, they didn’t believe him. 6. Sutter asked Sam Brannan to send a reporter to Sacramento. 7. Some people made the journey to California by traveling across America in wagon teams. 8. Marshall and Sutter were angry with Bennet and fired him. 9. Sutter didn’t enjoy the wealth of his land because he was denied the right to the gold. 10. The story tells us that gold does not always lead to happiness.

Information Related to the Text 1. Thomas Edison American Inventor, 1847 -1931 Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. With only three months of formal education he became one of the greatest inventors and industrial leaders in history. Edison obtained 1,093 United States patents, the most issued to any individual. Edison's greatest contribution was the first practical electric lighting. He not only invented the first successful electric light bulb, but also set up the first electrical power distribution company. Edison invented the phonograph, and 17 made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion picture technology. He also founded the first modern research laboratory. Edison was also a good businessman. He not only designed important new devices, he created companies worldwide for the manufacture and sale of his inventions. Along with other manufacturing pioneers of his era, Edison helped make the United States a world industrial power. He and Henry Ford became friends after Edison encouraged Ford to use the gasoline powered engine for the automobile. Edison was also a ruthless businessman who fought viciously to defeat his competitors. One of the most notorious examples of his competitive vigor was the lengths he went to discredit Nicola Tesla's Alternating Current system, which is the system of electrical distribution in use today. Edison had great faith in progress and industry, and valued long, hard work. He used to say, ―Genius was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.‖ Edison believed that inventing useful products offered everyone the opportunity for fame and fortune while benefiting society. 2. Alexander Graham Bell BELL, Alexander Graham, physicist, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 3 March 1847. He is a son of Alexander Melville Bell, mentioned below, and was educated at the Edinburgh high school and Edinburgh University, receiving special training in his father's system for removing impediments in speech. He removed to London in 1867, and entered the University there, but left on account of his health, and went to Canada with his father in 1870. In 1872 he took up his residence in the United States, introducing with success his father's system of deaf-mute instruction, and became professor of vocal physiology in Boston University. He had been interested for many years in the transmission of sound by electricity, and had devised many forms of apparatus for the purpose, but the first public exhibition of his invention was at Philadelphia in 1876. Its complete success has made him wealthy. His invention of the "photophone," in which a vibratory beam of light is substituted for a wire in conveying speech, has also attracted much attention, but has never been practically used. It was first described by him before the American association for the advancement of science in Boston, 27 August 1880. After the shooting of President Garfield, Professor Bell, together with Sumner Tainter, experimented with an improved form of Hughes's induction balance, and endeavored to find the exact location of the ball, but failed. Professor Bell has put forth the theory that the present system of educating deaf-mutes is wrong, as it tends to restrict them to one another's society, so that marriages between the deaf are common, and therefore the number of deaf-mute children born is on the increase. His latest experiments relate to the recording of speech by means of photographing the vibrations of a jet of water. He is a member of various learned societies, and has published many scientific papers. He has lived for some time in Washington, District of Columbia. 3. Harvard University Harvard University (incorporated as The President and Fellows of Harvard College) is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S., and a member of the Ivy League. Founded in 1636 by the colonial Massachusetts legislature, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. It is also the first and oldest corporation in North America. Initially called "New College" or "the college at New Towne", the institution was named Harvard College on March 13, 1639, after a young clergyman named John Harvard—a graduate of England's Emmanuel College, Cambridge (a college of the University of Cambridge) and St. Olave's Grammar School, Orpington in the United Kingdom—who bequeathed the College his library of four hundred books and ?779 (which was half of his estate). The earliest known official reference to Harvard as a "university" occurs in the new Massachusetts Constitution of 1780. During his 40-year tenure as Harvard president (1869 – 1909), Charles William Eliot radically transformed Harvard into the pattern of the modern research university. Eliot's reforms included elective courses, small classes, and entrance examinations. The Harvard model influenced American education nationally, at both college and secondary levels. Eliot also was responsible for publication of the now-famous "Harvard Classics", a collection of "great books" from multiple disciplines published by P. F. Collier and Sons beginning in 1909 that offered a college education "in fifteen minutes a day of reading"; the collection soon became known as "Dr. Eliot's Five-Foot Shelf". During his unprecedentedly 18 influential presidency, Eliot, a prolific book and magazine writer and widely traveled speaker in the pre-radio age, became so widely recognized a public figure that by his death in 1926 his name (and, not coincidentally, Harvard's) had become synonymous with the universal aspirations of American higher education. In 1999, Radcliffe College, founded in 1879 as the "Harvard Annex for Women", merged formally with Harvard University, becoming the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Harvard's library collection contains more than 15 million volumes, making it the largest academic library in the United States, and the fourth among the five "mega-libraries" of the world (after the Library of Congress, the British Library, and the French Bibliothèque nationale, but ahead of the New York Public Library). Harvard is consistently ranked number one in international college and university rankings, and has the largest financial endowment of any non-profit organization except for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, standing at $38.7 billion as of 2008. 1. IBM IBM Logos International Business Machines Corporation, abbreviated IBM and nicknamed "Big Blue", is a multinational computer technology and consulting corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York, USA. The company is one of the few information technology companies with a continuous history dating back to the 19th century. IBM manufactures and sells computer hardware and software, and offers infrastructure services, hosting services, and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology. IBM has been known through most of its recent history as the world's largest computer company; with over 388,000 employees worldwide, IBM is the largest information technology employer in the world. Despite falling behind Hewlett-Packard in total revenue since 2006, it remains the most profitable. IBM holds more patents than any other U.S. based technology company. It has engineers and consultants in over 170 countries and IBM Research has eight laboratories worldwide. IBM employees have earned three Nobel Prizes, four Turing Awards, five National Medals of Technology, and five National Medals of Science. As a chip maker, IBM has been among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders in past years, and in 2007 IBM ranked second in the list of largest software companies in the world. Nickname Big Blue is a nickname for IBM; several theories exist regarding its origin. One theory, substantiated by people who worked for IBM at the time, is that IBM field reps coined the term in the 1960s, referring to the color of the mainframes IBM installed in the 1960s and early 1970s. "All blue" was a term used to describe a loyal IBM customer, and business writers later picked up the term. Another theory suggests that Big Blue simply refers to the Company's logo. A third theory suggests that Big Blue refers to a former company dress code that required many IBM employees to wear only white shirts and many wore blue suits. In any event, IBM keyboards, typewriters, and some other manufactured devices, have played on the "Big Blue" concept, using the color for enter keys and carriage returns. IBM company values and "Jam" In 2003, IBM embarked on an ambitious project to rewrite company values. Using its Jam technology, the company hosted Intranet-based online discussions on key business issues with 50,000 employees over 3 days. The discussions were analyzed by sophisticated text analysis software (e-Classifier) to mine online comments for themes. As a result of the 2003 Jam, the company values were updated to reflect three modern business, marketplace and employee views: "Dedication to every client's success", "Innovation that matters - for our company and for the world", "Trust and 19 personal responsibility in all relationships". In 2004, another Jam was conducted during which 52,000 employees exchanged best practices for 72 hours. They focused on finding actionable ideas to support implementation of the values previously identified. A new post-Jam Ratings event was developed to allow IBMers to select key ideas that support the values. The board of directors cited this Jam when awarding Palmisano a pay rise in the spring of 2005. In July and September 2006, Palmisano launched another jam called InnovationJam. InnovationJam was the largest online brainstorming session ever with more than 150,000 participants from 104 countries. The participants were IBM employees, members of IBM employees' families, universities, partners, and customers. InnovationJam was divided in two sessions (one in July and one in September) for 72 hours each and generated more than 46,000 ideas. In November 2006, IBM declared that they will invest $US 100 million in the 10 best ideas from InnovationJam. II.

For statements1-10, write T (for True) if the statement agrees with the information given in the above paragraph(s); F (for False) if the statement contradicts the information given in the above paragraph(s); N (for Not given) if the statement is not given in the above paragraph(s). Starting Your Own Business Many people, particularly recent college graduates, dream of owing their own businesses. Although such ventures are often exciting and profitable, the new entrepreneur should thoroughly investigate and plan the situation before plunging in. The first step should be to assemble a board of advisers, including a lawyer, an accountant, and an 22 insurance representative. These individuals can provide valuable information and counsel. Securing the necessary licenses and permits is also a precondition and may require research to determine what is necessary. Most successful small-business owners have considerable experience in the field working for others before they become independent. They also begin with substantial financial backing and a good location. Renting space may be preferable or necessary at the start, but the lease on the building must be examined carefully before it is signed. The new owner should be thoroughly familiar with the market and the competition. A person who wants to buy an existing business can often learn the history of the company and its prospects from the owner’s records. Once the business gets started, accurate and complete records should be kept to monitor the company’s progress and profits. Financing may be the most difficult step for small-business owners. They may rely on their own savings or borrow money from a bank or the Small Business Administration. Some suppliers will sell merchandise on credit, and manufactures may be willing to finance the purchase of equipment. If the new business is a corporation, the owner may choose to sell stock. Once the new business is started, the Small Business Administration is a good source of advice. Several of its programs are designed to help new owners with the advice and expertise of retired executives. A nearby university or trade association may also help owners locate local sources of help. New business owners often report that they work long, hard hours but find the experience extremely satisfying. The realization that their efforts will produce actual results in the form of profit, success, and pride can be quite motivating. Those who have worked for others enjoy the opportunity to make decisions and follow projects through to completion. Many report that hard work has never been so enjoyable before. Careful research, investigation, and planning at the outset do not guarantee success, but they provide a good foundation for the new small business and its owner. Statements: 1. More and more college graduates have started their own businesses upon graduation. 2. A bank officer can be very helpful in planning a new business. 3. The most successful small-business owners are financially secured. 4. The author suggests buying an existing business over starting a new one because it already has many customers. 5. One way to avoid potential problems is by keeping accurate and complete records. 6. The government will provide a certain sum of money to new business owners. 7. Manufactures will also give preferential policies for the new businesses. The new business can seek legal support from the Small Business Administration. 8. 9. Besides financial success, starting a new business can also bring satisfaction 10. The main idea of the passage is about the best way to build up a profitable business. 5(GW (Guided Writing) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on Failure Is Not a Bad Thing according to the Chinese outline, and you must use at least 120 words. 1. 失败并非一件坏事; 2. 经历失败而后取得成功的例子; 3. 对待失败的正确心态 Sample: Failure Is Not a Bad Thing As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. It happens everyday and sometimes we fear of it; thus it is regarded as a bad thing, but it is not so discouraging. A famous example is Thomas A. Edison’s invention of light bulb. After experimenting on over a thousand different materials and failing so many times, he finally found the most suitable material. When asked about his failures, Addison said, ―At least I found a thousand or so materials that were not appropriate for bulb.‖ People like Edison will draw a lesson from their failures and face every new failure bravely. Thus they can really benefit from these experiences and finally achieve success. Nevertheless, not all shares the same attitude towards failure as Edison. Some people tend to have a low opinion of them after they get a failure. Their confidence, courage and self-worth are likely to be hurt; consequently they choose to ignore failures. Other people are likely to lay blame on others for their failures but not learn from it; as a result they will still fail next time. So in a word, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, once one adopts a right attitude toward it, failure sometimes can teach us a lot more than success. 3级8单元 3-RF 3-RF F F T F T T F N T F Direction: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over a passage quickly and then read ten statements following it.

Why I Love the City A lot of my friends are moving out of the city. They’re buying houses in the suburbs because they want to get away from the noise, smog, traffic, and crime of the city. One friend says, ―There’s too much air pollution in the city. I prefer the suburbs, where the air is clean.‖ Another friend complains about the traffic: ―There are too many cars downtown! You can’t find a parking place, and the traffic jams are terrible.‖ Everyone complains about crime: ―the city is full of criminals. I rarely leave my house at night – it’s too dangerous.‖ Before my friends move out of the city, they usually recite the advantages of suburban life: green grass, flowers, swimming pools, barbecues, and so on. Yet after my friends have lived there for a year or so, they realize that suburban life is not so pleasant as they were expecting. What causes this change? Their gardens! They soon learn that one unavoidable part of suburban life is yard work. After they work all weekend in their gardens, they’re much too tired to take a swim in their pools or even to cook some meat on their barbecues. And they have another complaint: they live in the suburbs without a car. Most of my friends moved to the suburbs to avoid traffic, but now they have to commute to work downtown. They sit on a busy freeway two hours everyday! My opinions about urban life are very different from my friends’ – I live downtown; and I love it! Why? Well, first, I live nature – flowers, green grass, trees, and animals. In the city, I have all the advantages of nature: I can walk through the public park, smell the flowers, and sit on the grass under the trees. I can visit the animals in the zoo. Yet I have none of the disadvantages: I don’t have to do yard work or feed the animals. Also, in the city, I can get everywhere by bus; if there’s a traffic jam, I can walk home. It seems that everyone is moving to the suburbs to avoid the crime of the big cities. I have a theory about urban crime, however, so I feel safe downtown. The criminal life will reflect changes in society: if people are buying homes in the suburbs, the criminals will soon follow. Criminals want to avoid noise, and pollution, too. Soon, overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city! Statements: 1. Many of the writer’s friends have moved out of the city and enjoying a peaceful life in the suburbs. 2. The writer has decided to join his friends and buy a house in the suburbs. friends feel unhappy with their life there. 3. After they have lived in the suburbs for over a year, the writer’s 4. The writer’s friends complain about not having time to do the garden work after a day’s work in the city. 5. For the writer’s friends, commuting to the city to work is very inconvenient due to the long distance they have to travel. 6. The writer believes that he can be close to nature while living in the city. 7. The writer thinks that now the crime rate is lower in the city than in the suburbs. 8. The writer’s friends are planning to move back to downtown areas. 9. The writer thinks that the crimes will be a problem in the suburbs. 10. The writer’s friends move out of the city to live near their workplace. 3-CVB 1 A He couldn’t ______ the thought of leaving his hometown forever.
