One morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his home. The wood belonged to a rich gentleman, and Ben had no right to go there. But, in the wood there were lots of rabbits and birds that were good to eat, and Ben was determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a lot of anger on the rich mans face as he saw the gun in Bens hands. Bens heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly up to these people and said to the gentleman, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” The rich man, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite for breakfast. Then, looking at Ben with suspicion, he said, “But why are you so early in the morning?” “Well, sir,” said Ben, “I just come out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowd burst into laughter at Bens ready wit, and with a smile the rich man walked on, leaving Ben to try his luck with the rabbits.1.

Many American colleges and universities have been offering it for years.One example is New York University in Manhattan. The School of Continuing and Professional Studies began online classes in nineteen ninety-two. Its Virtual College has taught more than ten thousand students from across the United States and other countries.Last year, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies launched NYU Online. It offers NYUs first online programs to earn a bachelors degree. Programs are offered in three areas: leadership and management, information systems management and social sciences. University officials say classes are highly interactive, where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to all log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor. Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects. The university says classes are taught by NYU professors who have been trained in online teaching. International students must take two admissions tests before they can be accepted into the program. These are the SAT and the TOEFL. We will discuss these tests later in our series.The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student takes. It can cost as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year. NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program. You can get more details at nyu.edu.1.

She was like other pretty, happy babies in every way. Then, one day, a sudden illness came upon her. Although medical knowledge was not as advanced then as it is now, Helen Keller did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As a result, she became dumb as well. For the next seven years, she lived in a world of darkness, without sounds and words.On March 3, 1887, a teacher, Anne Sullivan by name, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan was a special kind of teacher. She was once blind during her childhood. And she could read Braille, a system of writing for blind people, so that she understood Helen, loved her and believed she could teach her.Helen was a difficult pupil at first. But in a month Helen learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself. In time in spite of difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was deaf and blind. She even went to college and had a full education. She wrote many books. Her best book is The Story of My Life.1. Helen was born _A. blind and deafB. unlike other normal babiesC. a normal babyD. with a serious illness2. Helen lost her sight and hearing because _.A. there was no medical knowledge at all thenB. a sudden serious disease came upon herC. she became dumbD. she lived in a world of darkness3.

Braille was difficult for herC. her teachers assignments were beyond herD. her life was full of difficulties5. The phrase “in time” in the last paragraph means _.A. in difficultyB. graduallyC. sometimesD. during her full educationPassage 4It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who cant wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; theyre a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in peoples lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.1. What is soap opera? A. Plays based on science fiction stories.B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.C. The daytime serial dramas on TV. D. Popular documentary films on TV.2. What can be the best title of the passage? A. College student viewers.B. Favorite TV serials. C. Soap opera fans.D. College-age viewers.3. Which are not the reasons why the soap opera suddenly becomes “in” according to the passage? A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves. B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people. C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters. D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.4. What can learn from the passage? A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups. B. Young people of sixties like soap operas more than people today. C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now. D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.5. What message does the author want to convey to us? A. The peoples favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time. B. The peoples favorites to drama works change along with the times. C. The peoples favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera. D. The peoples favorites have changed the drama works.Passage 5When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dog would not eat what was caught without permission.But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.1. According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _ .A. for protection against robberyB. just for funC. for companionshipD. for protection against other animals2. The word “companionship” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. worshipB. treasureC. friendly relationshipD. partnership3. The dogs were used for hunting because _. A. they were good huntersB. they obeyed their mastersC. they were useful for protectionD. they did not eat other animals4. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is that _.A. they need companionB. they like children C. they enjoy huntingD. they want to protect themselves5. We can infer (推断) from the passage that _.A. dogs can be helpful to those who need companyB. city people always feel lonelyC. dogs can be interestingD. the city can be a very dangerous placePassage 6How 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 thought 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.The 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 certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of 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 words. 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.1. The origin of language is _. A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved2. What is true about words? A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.3. The real power of words lies in their _. A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function4. By “association”, the author means _. A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 7 Now a computer is able to teach you English. It will soon be able to translate any language for you, too. It is one more result of microprocessors those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as “silicon chips” (硅片). So you dont have to go to classes or buy textbooks. In a few years you wont need the international language of English. A computer can be a good teacher if you really want to learn the language. You can sit in front of a screen and practice. The computer will tell you when you are correct and when you are wrong. It can even talk to you because the silicon chips are able to change electronic impulses (电脉冲) into sounds. So think of it. You will be able to teach yourself at your own pace. You will waste very little time, and you can work at home. And if, after
