People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees — anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.” 1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ___B____. A. use for their schoolwork B. access the Internet C. work at home D. connect them to libraries 2. Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks? ___B_____ A. They don’t really talk. B. They use the computer language. C. Laptops have speakers. D. None of the above reasons is correct. 3. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?___C______ A. All teachers use computers. B. 1500 students have laptops. C. It is an old college in America. D. Students there can do everything. 4. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ____D____. A. attend lectures on information technology B. travel around the world C. get information from around the world D. have free laptops 5. What can we infer from the passage?__A_____ A. The program is successful. B. The program is not workable. C. The program is too expensive. D. We don’t know the result yet. Passage2 Adam Smith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England. “One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three different operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. It is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins apiece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labour, they certainly could not each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one. There can be no doubt that division of labour, provided that it is not taken too far, is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more f what they already have. 1. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to ___C_____. A. take advantage of the division of labour B. introduce the division of labour into England C. understand the effects of the division of labour D. explain the causes of the division of labour 2. Adam Smith saw that the division of labour __A_______. A. enabled each worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaply B. increased the possible output per worker C. increased the number of people employed in factories D. improved the quality of pins produced 3. According to Adam Smith’s example, the number of operations required in making pins is about ____D_____. A. five B. eight C. twelve D. eighteen 4. Adam Smith mentioned the number 4,800 in order to ____A______. A. show the advantages of the division of labour B. show the advantages of the old craft system C. emphasize how powerful the individual worker was D. emphasize the importance of increased production 5. According to the writer, Adam Smith’s mistake was in believing that division of labour ___C_____. A. was an efficient way of organizing work B. was an important development in methods of production Passage3 After a long, hard day, many people find comfort in an ice-cold beer or a martini. For some of these people, alcohol, in any form, is a dangerous drug. These people are alcoholics. Recently, doctors have been trying to discover what alcoholics are like and why people become alcoholics. This essay will report on what doctors have uncovered. Doctors have discovered one misconception about what alcoholics are like. The popular picture of an alcoholic as a bum is wrong. Actual statistics show that these pathetic human beings make up only 3 percent of the alcoholic population. The majority of the nine million American alcoholics are from middle-class homes and have good jobs. Alcoholics can be found in every level of society. Although most alcoholics are male, female alcoholism is a growing problem. Alcoholics come from all races, colors, and creeds. One specific reason explaining why drinkers become alcoholics has not been found. If alcohol itself were the cause, everyone who drinks would become addicted. Some doctors believe emotional problems cause alcoholism; drinking is often used as a means of escaping from worries. Other doctors feel alcoholism stems from changes in body chemistry. This would mean that a physical reason for alcoholism exists. In most cases, though, a combination of these reasons produces an alcoholic. 1. Alcohol is a dangerous drug ___D_____ A. to anyone who turns to beer or martini for relief. B. to those who have got addicted. C. if one drinks too much and gets drunk. D. both A and B. 2. Alcoholics are often described as____B____ A. homeless and jobless people. B. pitiful and unsuccessful people. C. people of a middle-class origin. D. people with good occupations. 3. According to the author, alcoholics drink ____A_____ A. to escape from tensions, frustrations, and anxieties. B. to satisfy their physical needs. C. to resort to alcohol for both emotional relief and physical need. D. for no good reasons. 4. The author suggests that ___D_____. A. people have come to know better what an alcoholic is like. B. there are far more alcoholics in the U.S. than people can suspect. C. doctors will soon find out how to effectively control alcoholism. D. doctors will soon find out how to effectively control alcoholism. 5. The author believes all the following except that ___B______. A. alcoholism claims all sorts of victims, regardless of races or beliefs. B. more and more American women are becoming alcoholics. C. alcoholism is a serious problem which can’t be solved without cooperation from alcoholics themselves. D. alcohol might be proved to be the root cause of alcoholism. Passage 4 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grad, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 1. Normally a student would at least attend ___B_____ classes each week. A. 36 B. 12 C. 20 D. 15 2. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ___B________. A. to live in a different university B. to take a particular course in a different university C. to live at home and drive to classes D. to get two degrees from two different universities 3. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ___A___. A. their academic performance will affect their future careers B. they are heavily involved in student affairs C. they have to observe university discipline D. they want to run for positions of authority 4. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ___C___. A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university C. such positions help them get better jobs D. such positions are usually well paid 5. The student organizations seem to be effective in ____B_____. A. dealing with the academic affairs of the university B. ensuring that the students observe university regulations C. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court D. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities 《第五次作业》: 题目: Please translate the following sentences into English. 请把下列句子翻译成英语。 1. 看电视对扩大孩子的知识面有好处，但对他们的视力也会有害处。 While watching TV can be beneficial to the growth of Chldren’s knowledge, it can also be detrimental to their eyes. 2. 专心致志读一本好书时，你会感到时间过的飞快。 Time passes quickly when you are absorbed in reading a good book. 3. 一般来说，区别美国口音和英国口音并无多大困难。 Generally speaking, there is not much difficulty telling the difference between American accent and British accent. 4. 他的成功狠大程度上依靠了他同事的配合。 His success relied heavily on the cooperation of his colleagues. 5. 大会主席提出了一个值得我们讨论的建议。 The chairman put forward a suggestion deserves our discussion. 6. 请原谅我误拆了你的信。 Please excuse my opening your letter by mistake. 7. 他们着手编纂一部新的百科全书。 They set a new encyclopedia compiled. 8. 许多英语学习者发现要流利地说英语是相当困难的。 Many English learners was found to be fluent in speaking English is quite difficult. 9. 他很后悔当初没有用功学习。 He regretted not working hard . 10. 可以设想，人们总有一天会征服太空。 Can imagined that people will one day be conquer of space. 11.他的成功很大程度上依靠了他同事的配合。 His success relied heavily on the cooperation of his colleagues. 12. 对我来说，没有哪一家的服务和膳食能与这儿的相比。 For me, there has been no other hotel to match the service and food here. 13. 与外国人打交道时，我们必须对他们的文化有所了解。 When dealing with foreigners, we must understand their culture. 14. 如果他能戒烟，那对他来说将是个良好的开端。 It would be a good beginning if he got rid of smoking. 15(抱怨自己运气不好是没用的，你应该鼓起勇气尽力工作。 Is useless to complain about bad luck, you should try to work the courage. 《第六次作业》: 题目: Please write a composition entitled "The Film I Have Enjoyed Most" in no less than 150 words. 请以:我最喜欢的电影:为题，用英语写一篇,,,字左右的作文( My favorite movie Movies are a massive phenomenon and integral part of our social life.Wherever people are from ,everybody likes to watch movies,and everbody has opinions on them .My favorite movie is "Forrest Gump".
