Part I Reading Comprehension
Watching TV is a very popular pastime in the UK, but what kind of programs do British people like to watch? Well, the most-watched TV programs every week are very popular dramas that are usually on at least four times every week. They are dramas based on one neighborhood that try to depict ordinary life in the UK — we call these dramas ―soap operas‖ or ―soaps‖.
In the early days of TV, there were often dramas on during the day. Back in those days, it was traditional for the husband to go out to work and for the wife to stay at home and look after the house and the children. Most of these daytime dramas were aimed at entertaining the housewives who would traditionally be at home, probably doing the washing. Companies selling washing powder would advertise their products at times when these dramas were on, and sometimes those companies would even sponsor the drama. Hence the word ―soap‖ came into use.
So what about the word ―opera‖? Well, that‘s because these dramas are oft en an exaggeration of real life. They are supposed to represent ordinary lives but to make them entertaining, lots of dramatic events like murders, divorces, affairs etc. all happen probably much more regularly than they would in a normal neighborhood.
Most soap operas these days are shown in the evening. Each show will have several different storylines happening at once that continue over several shows. The same cast members will appear in every show too.

If you watch the news in Britain or look at a British newspaper at the moment, a
term you are more than likely to come across is ―credit crunch‖. It has become a bit of a buzzword, but what does it mean?
Well, it's a financial term and it means that people in Britain are feeling the pinch right now. A credit crunch means banks have a shortage of money to loan people, which in turn has an effect on many other things. It's the effect this shortage of money has that is called the credit crunch.
The beginnings of this problem can be traced back to America, where people with a poor credit history were allowed to take out mortgages, which they were unable to repay.
Banks often lend money to and borrow money from each other, something we might not have realized they actually do. It was certainly cheaper for banks in America to get money in this way than to borrow money from America's Federal Reserve — their central bank.
A lot of these loans that people were unable to pay back were sold on to other banks, many of them in the UK. As banks did not know the level of debt they were acquiring, they no longer wanted to lend money to or borrow money from other banks. There is now less movement of money between banks and therefore a shortage of available money.
Banks and other financial institutions have to compensate for this by increasing fees and rates on products such as mortgages, loans and credit cards. Consequently, the average man on the street is affected as it is harder for them to borrow money with these increased rates.
1. From which country did ―the credit crunch‖ start?
A. Britain.

C. The UK.

increasing fees and rates on products such as mortgages, loans and credit cards.
A. that they lack in available money
B. that they have more money they need
C. that debts are unable to meet
D. that they have too many loans
4. Why did American banks no longer want to lend money to or borrow money
from other banks?
A. Because they didn‘t have enough money.
B. Because they could not repay the debts.
C. Because they wanted to borrow money in other ways.
D. Because they didn‘t know how many debts they would get.
5. Which of the following statement about ―credit crunch‖ is NOT TRUE

A. It has become a popular term.
B. It means British people are realizing the difficulties they encounter.
C. It has nothing to do w ith the average people‘s life.

An artist who had painted many pictures of great beauty found that he had not yet painted the one ―real‖ picture.
In his search along a dusty road, he met an aged priest who asked him where he was going. ―I do not know,‖ said the artist, ―I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps you can direct me to it.‖
―How simple,‖ replied the priest, ―in any church or creed, you will find it—?Faith‘ is the most beautiful thing in the world.‖
The artist traveled on. Later, he met a young bride who told him that the most beautiful thing in the world is ―love‖. ―Love‖ makes the world go around. It builds poverty into riches, sweetens tears and makes much of little. Without love there is no beauty.
Still the artist continued his search and met a weary soldier. The artist asked him the same question and the soldi er answered, ―?Peace‘ is the most beautiful thing in the world. War is ugly and wherever you find peace you‘ll find beauty, faith and love.‖―How can I paint them—Faith, Love and Peace?‖ thought the artist. As he resumed his walk, his mind wondered on the ―real‖ picture he hoped to paint. He was surprised that without thinking where he was going, he had reached his familiar surroundings. As he entered the doorway, light glistened in his eyes and he realized that his search was over.
In the faces of his wife and children, he saw Love and Faith. ―Not a minute passed by that our children and I had not thought of you. We prayed that you would return to us safely,‖ his wife said as they embraced him. He sat on his favorite old chair and his heart was at peace.

A federal program in the United States called Reading First has received one billion dollars a year for the past several year.The money has gone to school systems to get them to use scientifically based ways to teach reading. The goal is to help all children read at or above grade level by the end of the third grade.
The Bush administration‘s education law, t he No Child left Behind Act of 2001, established Reading First. Now, the Department of Education has released findings from a study of the program.
On average, teachers using it increased the time they taught reading skills like phonics and vocabulary. But the study also found, on average, little or no effect on test scores in reading comprehension.
Government researchers say they are not sure how to explain the results.
Another new report listed the books read most often last year by students in American schools. The Renaissance Learning company based the report on its reading programs used in many schools.Students real book and then took computer quizzes to see if they understood them. There are tests for more than one hundred fifteen thousand books.
The book read most often by first graders wa s ―Green Eggs and Ha m‖ by Doctor Seuss. In the fourth grade the top book was, not surprisingly, ―Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing‖ by Judy Blume.

东华大学20__-20__学年第__学期期末试题 踏实学习，弘扬正气；诚信做人，诚实考试；作弊可耻，后果自负 College English Achievement Test Band 3（易班） Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (10%) Directions: In this part, there is a passage followed by ten statements. You will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and decide whether each of the statements is true or false, or that the information is not given in the passage. Then mark the answer on the Answer Sheet. Renewable Energy How does energy use affect the environment? All forms of electricity generation have some level of environmental impact. However, clean energy technologies, including renewable energy and combined heat and power, have fewer impacts than other sources of electricity generation. To learn about the environmental impacts of electricity generation technologies, click on an energy source below. How clean is the electricity I use? In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation in environmental impact. Traditional methods of electricity production contribute to air quality problems and the risk of global climate change. With the advent of electric customer choice, many electricity customers can now choose the source of their electricity. In fact, you might now have the option of choosing cleaner, more environmentally friendly sources of energy. How can I make a difference? The energy decisions we make every day can encourage the development of new power sources, save natural resources, and help ensure that the quality of our environment is preserved. In many parts of the country, consumers now have the opportunity to choose the source of the power that is delivered to their home or business—including energy derived from renewable sources. "Renewable energy" generally refers to electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power (energy supplied by the sun), geothermal (energy created from the extreme heat contained in liquid rock—called magma（岩浆）—within the Earth's core), hydropower (energy derived from the movement of water as it flows downstream), and various forms of biomass (fuel from sources such as trees, wood and agricultural wastes and fuel crops). These energy sources are considered renewable because they are continuously replenished on the Earth. In addition, mobile sources of air pollution—such as cars, trucks, trains and lawnmowers—also contribute to air pollution nationwide and are an important source of air pollution in many urban areas. Hydrogen Energy Using hydrogen energy could help address many concerns facing our nation and our world. We believe hydrogen can contribute to resolving these issues for these reasons:

Unit 1 Education: A Transformation of the Soul 3 I went on to college, of course, as everyone told me to do. College is how you become an earner, they told me. My major that first semester was International Relations. I liked the woman I envisioned myself as in this field – a diplomat, a savvy citizen of the world. But gradually I began to realize that this person was not someone I bore any resemblance to. She was, rather, a clone of the well-educated, well-moneyed ideal my teacher had presented to me years ago. This woman had earning potential; she was smart and worldly. But she was not someone I would become. She had

以下为爱麟霖/(Curlylin)倾情奉献，需要的朋友可以参考一下 7. Friendship (Listening and Speaking Course, Unit 3; Integrated Course, Unit 2) 1) Do you have many friends? What kind of people do you want to make friends with? Why? Yes. I’d like to make friends with loyal people. In my opinion,a friend is a person who can share his/hers happiness with you, who can lend you a shoulder when you cry,who can give you a hand when you are in trouble without asking for anything in return. In a word,a friend in need is a friend indeed, I think a loyal people can do the things which were mentioned above for his/hers true friend. So I prefer to make friends with loyal people, and I also believe I am a loyal people who you can make friends with. 2) How do you make friends? Please comment on “a friend you buy isn’t worth the price”. First,I’d like to talk to him to find out whether we have the same interest with each other. If the answer is YES,then we have the foundation to develop a friendship. The next days, all we need to do is to treat each other by heart and soul. 3) How valuable is friendship in a person’s life? How can we keep friendship alive? As for me, I regard friendship as a very important part in my life.Just imagine a life,there’s no one to be your friend. What life could be if you had no friend to talk to , no friend to comfore you and cheer you up when you were having a hard time,no friend to lend you a hand when you needed help …… Life without friends is unthinkable ... We have to do hard work to build up and sustain our friendship. First, let your friends know that you really care about them.It’s important to give some cues to your friends. Be sure your friend knows that she is cared about.Second,try to be with your friends when they are in trouble when they need you. Keeping friendship alive is not only to say some sweet words,but need some real action. 4) What does friendship mean to you? What kind of friends do you think are true friends? It's a fantastic experience in whole of my life. Friendship to me is what water to fish.I can't live without a real friend. 2问见（1） 5) How can we get along well with other people? To begin with, we need to be honest with others and always say what we mean. Lies will surely make people stay far away from us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best policy. Second, we have to be humble enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly win other's respect, not to mention "friendship" . Finally, we must not be selfish. We should learn how to show concern for others. As long as we abide[?'ba?d] by what is mentioned above, we will find it easy to get along well with others.

It was first picked up as a folk song in 1910 by John Lomax in San Antonio, Texas. Lomax heard the song from an old man who had been a cook many years before. The song was known all over the Midwest; thought it did not come to national attention until the early 1930s. By 1947 “Home on the Range” was so popular that it became the official state song of Kansas. 6. A folk song is also a ballad when it _______.
