Before a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.
The first of these is called the “tank test”. A modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or “pressured”, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example is like a huge, giant foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the first Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.
The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up every high. Then he shuts the engines off. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.
5. The test is carried out under water because _____.
A. the pressure of water is greater than air
B. the first Comets crashed in the water
C. there is less damage when the explosion happens under water
D. this is the only way engineers can find out which part has cracked
6. The metal structure of the plane must very strong because ______.
A. the plane has to carry a lot of people
B. the plane must fly at high altitudes
C. the pressure inside the plane is much greater than that outside
D. it can prevent the plane from explosion by a giant foot kick
7. In paragraph 2 “it” refers to ______.
A. an explosion B. damage C. a plane D. an engineer
8. A tank is a large ______.
A. plane B. test C. container D. amount of petrol

The people you meet who 10 your life, and the success and the downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. 11 the bad experiences can be learned from.

Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests fill my own children’ s school week. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers. I believe that. my daughter Eriea, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the mandated state test.
Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment （评价）to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a test, which is intended for money. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.
The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test of a skill with the acquisition（习得）of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skill make this misunderstanding because people are only interested in the test rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple terms, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can’ t see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grade that they have no time or ease of mind to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.
21. The author gives an account of Erica’s performance in her study in order to show .
A. her cleverness in test- taking
B. the incompetence of teachers
C. there is something wrong with the current practice in teaching
D. the best way to read textbooks
22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The phenomenon of teaching to the test has aroused curiosity in many educators.
B. Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students.
C. Ability to read and write is one thing, and ability to do well on standardized tests is quite another.
D. Preparation for test of a skill does not necessarily mean the acquisition of that skill.
23. The author insists that .
A. mandated state tests be replaced by some more sensible methods of assessment
B. teachers pay more attention to the nature and quality of what is taught
C. students not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking
D. main changes be brought about in the general teaching
24. By “crisis of comprehension” the author means many students .
A. are too much concerned with grades
B. fail to understand the real goal of education
C. lack proper practice in grammar drills
D. are unable to understand what they read, though they do reasonably well on standardized tests

The Christmas Tree
In pre-Christian Europe, people believed that trees（fruit trees and evergreens in particular） were embodiment of powerful beings. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the designated miracle play for December 25 was the story of Adam and Eve and in this play the chief prop was an apple-hung evergreen called the paradise tree. In the sixteenth century, German families began bringing evergreens into their homes during the Christmas season. By the seventeenth century, they were known as Christbaiime（Christ trees ）and were being decorated with fruits, candies, cookies; candles and wafers resembling the eucharistic host.
The first Christmas trees in America were set up by German immigrants in the 1820s and the almost universal adoption of the custom dates from the 1910s. Now at Christmas time decorated trees stand in about two-thirds of American homes. The modern American tree is usually covered with colored balls and strings of colored lights.

Because of a full display of her skill and grace, a crowd of 5,000 could not look away from 22-year-old Russian Svetlana Khorkina（霍尔金娜）at the World Gymnastics Championships （世界体操锦标赛）.
The “ Queen of Gymnastics ” won three gold medals at the games held in Belgium from October 29 to November 6. Her medals were won on the vaults（跳马）, the uneven bars（高低杠）and for the individual all-round tide. This is the first time a woman has won three gold medals at a world championships since 1993. “ Wow, I’m so happy, ” Khorkina said. “ I simply wanted to show what I was capable of. ” Khorkina’s excellent combination of grace and acrobatics（杂技） has won her just about every major medal. She has also won a unique（独特的）series of four world titles in a row.
From 1996 to 2000, she won two medals at the Olympic Games, and topped the world Championships as well as the European Championships. Yet there is more to the Olympic, world and European champion than her medals. Khorkina moves skillfully from one role to another. Sometimes she’s a charming quickness, sometimes an athletic superwoman, and sometimes a fashionable girl.
She claims the hard training and many competitions have not changed her. In her spare time, Khorkina is just a common neighborhood girl. She talks with friends on her mobile phone while enjoying buttered bread; when there are no other cars around, she drives her new Renault on the auto-drome（赛车跑道）at high speeds.
When she was only 18, Khorkina was pictured without her top on for Playboy magazine. It greatly angered her father. But Khorkina said that if the contract was satisfactory, she would be pictured again.
At the start of this recent world event, Khorkina made a fashion statement showing how modem she is. She wore a midnight blue velvet（丝绒）dress with sequined shoulders and a low neckline.
“Although I enjoy people calling me a symbol of Russian sports, I’d like to pursue my chosen lifestyle,” she said. “I want to be myself ” Khorkina has her own dreams. She thinks of becoming an independent business woman involved in modeling. But she would also like to do something for gymnastics in her hometown of Belgorod.
16. The main idea of paragraph 5 is .
A. Khorkina remains what she used to be in her spare time though she is world-famous
B. Khorkina is just a common girl in her spare time
C. Khorkina is rather young though she has won many gold medals
D. Khorkina is a lovely and charming girl
17. Khorkina is called Queen of Gymnastics", probably because _____ .
A. her full display of skill and grace at the World Gymnastics Championships
B. she has won three gold medals at the games held from October 29 to November 6
C. she has won so many gold medals including those gotten at the Olympic Games, the World Championships and the European Championships
D. this is the first time that a woman has won 3 gold medals at a world Championships since 1993
18. After Khorkina has won three gold medals at the games held in Belgium, she feels _____.
A. unhappy B. proud C. delighted D. surprised
19. Khorkina has won just about every major medal _____ .
A. because she is very beautiful

III. Reading Comprehension
In 2004, the Olympic Games returned to the place where they were born, where they were revived (gain life again), and where they were renewed. The Athens 2004 Olympic Games were more than a chance to take part in the greatest celebration of people in general. They were a chance to be part of a story that was as old as history itself. And when it came to making history, there was really no place like home.
Torch relays
The torch (火炬) relay started out as a religious ritual (仪式), but later it became a race of little importance for young people. It was held at night. Later, it became one of the most popular team events. The torch, the flame, and all the other historic, festive, and symbolic things were introduced into Greece in 1896.It was part of the cultural program for the Olympic Games. The 1896 torch relay was held on the seventh day of the Games on Athinas Street at nine o’clock in the evening. It went with music. The people taking part in the event were of all ages and callings(**). They were riders, police, university students, school children, and business people. Sacred flame unites the world. Athens 2004 organizers announced a global Olympic torch relay that, for the first time, reached all five continents.
The sacred(神圣) flame of the Olympic Games traveled farther than ever before. It followed a route through 27 countries and 34 cities. Traveling an average of 48 km per day, the flame was carried by over 3,600 torchbearers(***). Planes, ships, cars, bicycles, and even wheelchairs were part of the journey. For the first time, it passed through all former Summer Olympic host cities and all of the continents represented by the rings of the Olympic Games logo (徽标) — The Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. This year’s torch relay covered a distance of more than 77,000 km, crossing through 37 time zones including Istanbul and Cape Town. It was watched by 260 million people as it promoted the message, “the flame that unites the world.” “The ancient and modern symbols of the flame — the values of peace, truce (休战), security, brotherhood, cooperation — are more relevant (相关) today than ever,” said the head of the Athens Organizing Committee.

IV. The salmon***********324
The salmon (**) is one of our most valuable fish. It gives us food and money. Every year, commercial (商业) fishing results in a harvest of over a billion pounds of salmon from the sea. Hundreds of thousands of salmon are caught each year by eager sports fishers.
In autumn, the rivers of the northwestern United States come alive with salmon. They have left the ocean on their yearly run upriver to produce eggs. Yet today, there are far fewer salmon in the Northwest and elsewhere than ever before. That is because the salmon population suffers from many dangers of the modern age.
Water pollution has killed many salmon by taking away the oxygen. Over-fishing has further reduced their numbers. Dams are another danger because they block the ways that the salmon move from one place to another. “Fish ladders”, almost like stairs, have been built so that salmon can swim safely over the dams. But young salmon swimming to the ocean have trouble finding the ladders. They often fall to their deaths over the dam or are killed in giant hydroelectric (水电) turbines (漩涡).
To fill the salmon supply, people have turned to fish farming, or aquaculture . Farm-raised salmon are Atlantic salmon. Most of them are raised in the United States, Canada, Scotland, and Norway. In a typical salmon farm, the fish remain in the places where they produce eggs until they are eight inches in length. Then they are moved to large net cages by the coast. There they are fed a diet of fish meal until they reach the size of eight pounds after about 18 months.
Aquaculture is one of the world’s fastest growing food industries. It is replacing commercial fishing in many places and is reducing the price of salmon to about a third of its earlier price. The other benefit of aquaculture is that it is allowing the wild salmon population to recover. About a quarter of a million more salmon returned to their home rivers to produce eggs each year in the mid-1990s.
1. Which following can reduce the number of the salmon except _______?
A. water pollution B. over-fishing C. building dams D. fish farming
2. The young salmons died because_________.
A. They cannot swim over the dam to find ocean
B. They are often killed in giant hydroelectric turbines
C. They have difficulty finding the dams when they swim to the ocean
D. They were caught each year by sports fishers
3. What does the word “ aquaculture” mean according to the passage?
A. It means the fastest growing food industries
B. It means farm-raised salmon
C. It means a kind of culture with water
D. It means raising fish in any farms
4. What is the right procedure of raising salmon based on your reading?
①Put salmons in a place where they produce eggs
②Wait until they grow eight inches in length.
③They grow the size of eight pounds.
④They are fed a diet of fish meal.
⑤They are moved to large net cages by the coast
A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①②⑤④③
C. ④⑤①②③ D. ②⑤④③①
5. What can we refer from the last paragraph?
A. Aquaculture has reduced the price of salmon to about of its earlier price.
B. Aquaculture is replacing commercial fishing in many places.
C. Aquaculture benefits the wild salmon population to recover.
D. Aquaculture benefits the ecosystem of the salmon and promote the development of food industry.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 8 I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town where was a Sheriff 9 of us kids liked.

The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 11 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 12 found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 13 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 14 .

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interesting in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）. When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weigh with me.
When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out of the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before.
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew

Part 3: Reading:
Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $ 6million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000 a second. And that does not include the cost of paying for air time（电视节目开始的时间）. Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money---- and making money is what television is all about----the commercial is by far the more important.
Research, market testing, talent, time and money----all come together to make us want to buy a product. No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. The sales of Charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. We, in return, buy the product.
And the ads work because so much time and attention are given them. Here are some rules of commercial ad making. If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.
We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay that much attention to them. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves. The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It’s big, big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.
1. TV commercials are more important than any other programs to television because______.
A. they bring in great profits（利润）
B. they require a lot of money to make
C. they are not difficult to produce
D. they attract more viewers than other programs
2. The purpose of all the efforts made in turning out TV commercials is ______.
A. to persuade people to buy the product
B. to show how valuable the product is
C. to test the market value of the product
D. to make them as interesting as TV movies
3. From the rules set for making commercial ads, we can see that ______.
A. the lower-middle-class buyer likes to work with his hand
B. the more stupid the characters, the more buyers of the product
C. ad designers attract different people with different skills
D. an upper-class buyer is more interested in houses and furniture than a lower-middle-class buyer
4. The underlined word “kidding” most probably means ______.
A. behaving as a child B. laughing at
C. making fun of D. not telling the truth to
5. It is believed by the writer that ______.
A. few people like to watch TV commercials
B. people do not think highly of TV commercials
C. TV commercials often make people laugh

Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; another way by signals.
Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant “man”. Another meant “horse”. To tell the time of day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time.
Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony(小马). He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.
To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.
The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket. He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.
Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.
1. The story tells about ____________________.
A. people living in Indian
B. the Indians who had many kinds of languages
C. the Indians who didn’t use their languages
D. how Indians communicated between different tribes
2. Sign language is _________________.
A. a language only for Indians
B. a way to express one’s ideas by making gestures
C. a way of talking by signing on paper
D. a secret way of talking to strangers
3. Which of the following is true?
A. When an Indian wanted to say “man”, he pointed to himself.
B. When an Indian wanted to say “horse”, he rode his horse.
C. When an Indian wanted to say “sun”, he pointed to the sky.
D. Indians used sign language to find out whether a stranger was a friend or an enemy.
4. Blanket signals ________________.
A. could be seen at night
B. could be seen from far away
C. were used only for warning
D. were considered the best way of sending messages
5. Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language because__________.
A. they never met each other
B. they could use signals or sign language
C. they could write messages
D. they thought they could easily make themselves understood

Why do people wear uniforms? Athletes distinguish themselves with team colors and special emblems(标志). Often, doctors, dentists, and nurses wear white to depict cleanliness. Hard hats and steel-toed boots protect construction workers from accidents with heavy equipment. Even the American cowboy of the late 1800s wore a type of uniform; clothing that was practical and able to meet the demands of his tough job.
One of the most important accessories(装备) in the cowboy’s wardrobe was his wide-brimmed hat. It kept him cool in the hot sun. His hat also came in handy when shooting away flies and other insects, fanning fires, and dipping into water for a cool drink. Most cowboys wore their hats at all times: indoors, at the dinner table, while they danced, and even to bed. It became a symbol of the cowboy’s life.
The most expensive items in a cowboy’s “uniform” were his boots. They were essential for safe riding. The tapered shape of the boot prevented the cowboy’s foot from getting stuck if he fell from his horse. The high heel kept the cowboy’s foot from slipping in the stirrup while he was riding. Because of the costliness of these essential items, the cowboy chose to ride, walk, and even sleep in his boots.
Fastened to the back of each boot were spurs, devices used to jab a horse to urge it to go faster. Spurs were not intended to injure a horse. In fact, good riders filed them down for the safety of both horse and rider.
A cowboy’s life was filled with hard work, adventure, and danger. His uniform helped him to do his job well.
1. How many types of people are mentioned in the first paragraph of the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
2. What items in a cowboy’s uniform are described in the passage?
A. Emblems. B. Belt. C. Hat and boots. D. Trousers.
3. A cowboy’s hat was used for all the following purposes EXCEPT ___________.
A. providing shade B. looking smart
C. protecting himself D. drinking water
4. Which of the following is the most suitable topic of the passage?
A. Why People Wear Uniforms B. The Beauty of Uniforms
C. Uniforms of All Types D. A Cowboy’s Life

Amtrak（美国铁路客运公司）was experiencing a downswing in ridership（客运量）along the lines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining（下降）significantly.
At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became America’s standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDS Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.
Two portions（部分）of the total market were targeted: 1）anxious fliers-those concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and 2）travel-lovers-those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed（描述）western train trips as wonderful adventures.
Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of the trains （Empire Builder, etc）. These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad, enjoyed a 15% increase in profits（利润） on its Chicago to Seattle route.
1. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed and convenience.
B. To stress the influence of the automobile on America’s standard of convenience.
C. To emphasize the fun_ction of travel agencies in market promotion. (提升)
D. To illustrate (说明) the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to the fact that______________.
A. trains were not suitable for short distance passenger transportation
B. trains were not the fastest and most convenient form of transportation
C. trains were not as fast and convenient as they used to be
D. trains could not compete with planes in terms of luxury and convenience
3. To encourage consumers to travel by train, DDB Needham emphasized____________.
A. the freedom and convenience provided on trains
B. the practical parts of train travel
C. the adventurous parts of train trips
D. the safety and cleanliness of train trips
4. The train ads were placed among family-oriented TV programs involving nature and America because_______________.
A. they could focus on meaningful travel experiences
B. they could increase effectiveness of the TV programs
C. their profits could be increased by some 15%
D. most travel-lovers and nervous fliers were believed to be among the audiences

Unit 7 A Christmas Carol
介绍作者Charles Dickens
A Brief Life Story of Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is considered to be one of the greatest English novelists of the Victorian period. Dickens's works are characterized by attacks on social evils, injustice, and hypocrisy （虚荣）.
Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Hampshire on February 7, 1812. His father was a clerk in the navy pay office, who was well paid but often ended up in financial troubles. In 1814 Dickens moved to London, and then to Chatham, where he received some education. John，Dickens, continually living beyond his means, was finally imprisoned for debt at the Marshalsea debtor’s prison in Southwark in 1824. 12-year –old Charles was removed from school and sent to work at a boot-blacking factory earning six shillings a week to help support the family. Charles considered this period as the most terrible time in his life This childhood poverty and adversity contributed greatly to Dickens’ later views on social reform in a country and his compassion for the lower class, especially the children.
Dickens's career as a writer of fiction started in 1833 when his short stories and essays appeared in periodicals. His Sketches By Boz and The Pickwick Papers were published in 1836.In the same year he married the daughter of his friend George Hogarth, Catherine Hogarth. The Pickwick Papers were stories about a group of rather odd individuals and their travels to Ipswich, Rochester, Bath and elsewhere. Dickens's novels first appeared in monthly installments, including Oliver Twist (1837-39), which depicts the London underworld and hard years of the foundling Oliver Twist.
Among his later works are David Copperfield (1849-50), where Dickens used his own personal experiences of work in a factory, Bleak House (1852-53), A Tale Of Two Cities (1859), set in the years of the French Revolution and Great Expectations (1860-61)
He died on June 9, 1870. The inscription on his tombstone in Poet’s Corner., Westminster Abbey reads：“He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed; and by his death, one of England’s greatest writers is lost to the world.”

When we meet another person for the first time, we are acturally flooded with new information, Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified（使统一）picture. In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet—an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how precisely do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and results point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging.
Expressed very simply our impressions of others seem to represent（代表）a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect（反映）a process in which all information we have about others is averaged together—but with some facts, or input receiving greater weight than others. As you can readily see, this makes good sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be affected to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders （whether respectfully or not）than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question: Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight?
Again research provides some revealing（发人深思）answers.
1. This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. how our first impressions are expressed
B. how our first impressions are formed
C. how we can favorably impress others
D. how first impression affect our lives
2. According to the passage, the first impression is __________.
A. the result of quick look
B. not based on enough information
C. a combination of pieces of information
D. the observation of what a person does
3. Research has shown that first impressions are generally more affected by ________.
A. the way others speak
B. appearance and style of dress
C. all information we have
D. certain types of information at hand
4. The word“weight”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. amount B. research
C. importance D. difficulty
5. The following paragraph will most probably discuss ___________.
A. wrong first impression of other people
B. selected information for forming first impression
C. the importance of first impression in job situation
D. ways of making good first impression

If you ask an Englishman about the press in his country, he will almost certainly begin talking about the morning daily and Sunday “national newspaper”,all of which now have their head offices in London. Later, almost as an afterthought, he may go on to talk about the provincial morning dailies, the London and provincial evening papers, and finally the weekly local papers. The leading position of the national daily papers is due to the smallness of the country, with every large town in England and Wales able to be reached by train in less than five hours from London. A paper printed in London around midnight can be at any breakfast table in England the next morning, except in remote country districts. All over the country, most people read the same newspapers and the leading position of the London papers may reflect a lack of regional identity.
The press, including weekly magazines and local newspapers, is mostly owned by one of about five large organizations. Independent small newspaper-publishers find it very difficult to survive, and many newspapers have stopped publication during the past twenty years—including even some national ones. But the huge organizations, or empires, differ from one another and are themselves not static.
The national dailies are generally classed as either“quality”（The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph）or“popular”. The “quality”papers give more comprehensive coverage of all aspects of news, while the “popular”papers aim for a more general readership, they also cost less. The number of newspapers sold, in relation to the population is higher in Britain than in any other country except Sweden.
1. The national daily papers have a leading position in Britain because _________.
A. they are supported by the government
B. they give more comprehensive coverage of all aspects of news
C. they cost less
D. the country is small
2. The press in Britain is mostly owned by few large organizations. How many are they?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
3. Which is true about the huge press organizations in Britain?
A. They only own weekly magazines and local newspapers.
B. They has made it difficult for the independent small newspaper-publishers to survive.
C. They are similar to each other.
D. They has stopped publishing local newspapers.
4. Which of the following is not one of the“Quality”papers mentioned?
A. The Observer. B. The Times.
C. The Guardian. D. The Daily telegraph.

2. Some believe that we are equipped with a special ability to learn language and that our brain adjusts itself to the language we hear around us.
Adjust sth/oneself to sth: become or make suited to new conditions

5. 状语从句
（1）地点状语从句
地点状语从句通常由where, wherever 引导。
例如：
Where I live there are plenty of trees.
Wherever I am , I will be thinking of you.
（2）方式状语从句
方式状语从句通常由as, （just）as…so…, as if, as though引导。
（a）as,（just）as…so…引导的方式状语从句通常位于主句后，但在（just）as…so…结构中位于句首，这时as从句带有比喻的含义，意思是“正如…”，“就像”，多用于正式文体。
例如：
Always do to the others as you would be done by.
As water is to fish, so air is to man.
Just as we sweep our rooms, so we should sweep backward ideas from our minds.
（b）as if, as though
两者的意义和用法相同，引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气，表示与事实相反，有时也用陈述语气，表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大。汉译常作“仿佛……似的”，“好像……似的”。
例如：
They completely ignore these facts as if（as though）they never existed.
He looks as if（as though）he had been hit by lighting.
It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon.
说明：as if / as though也可以引导一个分词短语、不定式短语或无动词短语。例如：
He stared at me as if seeing me for first time.
　He cleared his throat as if to say something.
The waves dashed on the rocks as if in anger.
（3）原因状语从句
比较because, since, as和for：
（a）because语势最强，用来说明人所不知的原因，回答why提出的问题。当原因是显而易见的或已为人们所知，就用as或since。
例如：
I didn’t go, because I was afraid.
Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
（b）由because引导的从句如果放在句末，且前面有逗号，则可以用for来代替。如果不是说明直接原因，而是多种情况加以推断，就只能用for。例如：
He is absent today, because / for he is ill.
He must be ill, for he is absent today.
（4）目的状语从句
表示目的状语的从句可以由that, so that, in order that, lest, for fear that, in case等词引导。
例如：
You must speak louder so that / in order that you can be heard by all.
He wrote the name down for fear that（lest）he should forget it.
Better take more clothes in case the weather is cold.
（5）结果状语从句
结果状语从句常由so…that 或 such…that引导。so…that与such…that之间可以转换。例如：
The boy is so young that he can’t go to school.
He is such a young boy that he can’t go to school.
（6）条件状语从句
连接词主要有 if, unless, as/so long as, on condition that等。if 引导的条件句有真实条件句和非真实条件句两种。非真实条件句已在虚拟语气中阐述。unless = if not.　
例如：
Let’s go out for a walk unless you are too tired.
　 If you are not too tied, let’s go out for a walk.
（7）让步状语从句
（a）though, although引导的让步状语从句，后面的从句不能有but，但是 though 和yet可连用。
例如：
Although it’s raining, they are still working in the field.　
He is very old, but he still works very hard.
Though the sore be healed, yet a scar may remain.
（b）as, though 引导的让步从句必须表语或状语提前（形容词、副词、分词、实义动词提前）。
例如：
Child as / though he was , he knew what was the right thing to do.
（c）ever if, even though　即使。例如：
We’ll make a trip even though the weather is bad.
（d）whether…or…　不管……都。例如：
Whether you believe it or not, it is true.
（e）“no matter +疑问词”或“疑问词+后缀ever”。
例如：
No matter what happened, he would not mind. = Whatever happened, he would not mind.
替换：no matter what = whatever
no matter who = whoever
no matter when = whenever
no matter where = wherever
　　　　 no matter which = whichever
no matter how = however
注意：no matter 不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。
（错）No matter what you say is of no use now.
（对）Whatever you say is of no use now. （Whatever you say是主语从句）
（错）Prisoners have to eat no matter what they’re given,
（对）Prisoners have to eat whatever they’re given.

Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva. Capital of Peace is one of its names— the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations. Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition（人道主义传统）and international character is the World’s Smallest Metropolis. Parks, splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town and its 2000—year history wait to be discovered.
The Jet d’Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting Geneva. The Jet d‘Eau has become the symbol（象征）of Geneva for a long time. This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history.
