6、and worked very hard. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to get him to take a vacation. At last she managed to persuade him to do so, and she hoped that he would be able to enjoy his vacation without any disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. You
7、ng went to see her husbands secretary. She said to her, “My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens, please dont bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back.“ After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, Mr. Youn

10、 about an American general who was a very important figure in the American army during the First World War. Everybody in the United States knew him and many people wished to have a picture or something of his in their homes. Soon after the war the general returned to Washington. One day he went to a
11、 dentist and had six teeth pulled out. A week later the general heard that his teeth were being sold in shops at $5 each. On each of the teeth there was a label with the name of the general and words: “buy these teeth and show them to your friends at home.“ The general got angry. He rushed to his of
12、fice and ordered six officers to go around the city and buy all his teeth. The officers went out and visited every shop in the capital. They were away from the office all day. In the evening they returned and put on the table in front of the general the teeth they had bought. They had collected 175
13、teeth. (F)1. Many families wanted to have a signature of the general. (T)2. The general came back to Washington after the First World War. (T)3. The general ordered his men to look for all his teeth and buy all of them. (T)4. The fact that the generals name was on the label of each tooth shows that
14、the general was famous. (F)5. The teeth they collected most probably cost $1150. Passage 3 The word “horsepower“ was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the worlds first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there we
15、re no units for measuring power. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called 中国石油大学（华东） 大学英语 3 3 that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do. He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 fe
16、et into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine. (T)1. The passage says that Watt made the first widely used steam engine. (F)2. Watt wanted to find a w
17、ay to lift a 3300-pound weight. (T)3. He made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse. (F)4. One horsepower would equal the weight of one horse. (T)5. The possible title for this passage is The Origin of the Term “Horsepower“. Passage 4 In the world, soccer or football is the most
18、popular sport. This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup. The World Cup is held every four years. To remember 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big pictur
19、e called “Dream World Cups“ in Japan. The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a blue bright sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a pa
20、rk near a playground in Yokohama. Some football teams will have games there. Are you a football fan？ The World Cup makes more and more people interested in football. Teenagers like playing and watching football. Many of them love some football stars so much that they get the pictures of their favori
21、te players on the walls of their rooms. That is the w ay to show their love for the World Cup as children in Japan. (F)1. If a country wants to take part in the World Cup, she must have many football players. (T)2. The next World Cup will be held in 2006. (F)3. From the passage, in the picture child

Many teenagers own the pictures of some football stars because they are football fans. Passage 5 By definition, heroes and he
23、roines 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 nations consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who
24、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 unhero
25、ic 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. 中国石油大学（华东） 大学英语 3 4 Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrit
26、y（明星） , who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? Thats 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 marriag
27、e 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. (C)1. The passage main
28、ly deals with heroes and icons. (D)2. Heroes and heroines are usually all of the above. (D)3. Which of the following statements is wrong? Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times. (C)4. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love just before her death. (B)5. What is more likely to s
29、et an icons status? Tragic and early death. Passage 6 What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is no. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree
30、 that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that
31、 his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditi
32、ons permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are imp
33、ortant in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measureme
34、nts are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. (B)1. What makes a scientist according to the passage? The way he uses his tools. (C)2. The scientist, however, goes one step further . The author says this to show the difference between scientists and ordinary people.
35、 (A)3. A sound scientific theory should be one that works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times. (C)4. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate that the investigations are important in science. (D)5. What is the main id
36、ea of the passage? Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. 中国石油大学（华东） 大学英语 3 5 Passage 7 There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a da
37、ily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term
38、 goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for sever
39、al years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-te
40、rm goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. (B)1. Our long-term goals mean a lot If we complete the short-term goals. (D)2. New short-term goals are b
41、uilt upon the goals that have been completed. (C)3. When we complete each step of our goals, we should build up confidence of success. (C)4. What is the main idea of this passage? Different kinds of goals in life. (C)5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? Life is a s
42、tatic thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. Passage 8 How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express tho
43、ught and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. T
44、he power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more c ertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number o
45、f words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of w
46、ords. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. (D)1. The origin of language is a problem
47、not yet solved. (C)2. What is true about words? They are simply sounds. 中国石油大学（华东） 大学英语 3 6 (D)3. The real power of words lies in their representative function. (B)4. By association, the author means a joining of ideas in the mind. (A)5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT t
48、rue? He is no more than a master of words. III. Vocabulary and Structure (C)1. As soon as they reached the fishing area, the fisherman _ cast_ their nets into the sea. (B)2. I will give this book to _ whoever _ wants to have it. (A)3. Having lived in the area for years, he has _acquired_ a great deal of first-hand information on the feature of the local dialect. (B)4. Why dont you hav
