“Today I want to tell you three stories from my life,” he said.
“The first story is about connecting the 56 . I 57 out of Reed College after the first 6 months. That allowed me to take the classes I wanted. I decided to take a 58 class. Ten years later, it all came back to me and we 59 it all into the Mac. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and 60 computers might not have the wonderfully-shaped letters that you see on the screen. You can?t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something —your 61 , destiny, life, whatever.”
“My second story is about love and 62 . I got fired. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to the world?s first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most 63 animation studio in the world. Then, Apple bought NeXT, and I returned to Apple. The technology 64 at NeXT was put into the iPod and future Apple products. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I?m pretty sure none
of this would have happened if I hadn?t been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. You?ve got to find what you love. So keep looking until you find it. Don?t 65 .”
Section A: Timed Reading（每小题1分，共10分）
Directions: In this section, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 66 to 75 are based on the following passage.
The internet slang term, LOL (laughing out loud), has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), with the mild disapproval of language purists. But where did the term originate? And is it really a threat to our language?
“OMG! LOL?s in the OED. LMAO!”
If you find the above string of letters completely meaningless, you are clearly not familiar with the internet. Let me get back to the point.
The OED defines LOL as an exclamation, “used mainly in electronic communications to draw attention to a joke or humorous statement or to express amusement”.
It can be pronounced either as individual letters, LOL, or as a complete word, lol.
The phrase was included in the OED alongside OMG (Oh My God), with language experts noting their growing popularity “in e-mails, texts, social networking... and even in spoken use”.
As well as on school playgrounds, words like “lolz” and “lolling” can be heard in pubs and offices —though often to show irony.
Love it or hate it, LOL is here to stay, says Graeme Diamond, the OED?s principal editor for new words. “The word is common, widespread, and people understand it,” he explains. “The word serves a real purpose —it conveys tone in text, something that even most critics accept.”
“I don?t LOL. I?m basically someone who kind of hates it,” says Rob Manuel of the internet humor site b3ta.”But the truth is, we do need words to express emotions in tweets and emails, just as conversations have laughter. LOL might make me look like an idiot, but at least you know when I?m being playful.”
But for young internet entrepreneurs like Ben Huh, LOL is much more than a
necessary evil. It?s both a tool and a toy.” LOL is a part of everyday life. I use it all the
time in e-mail exchanges. It?s a polite way of acknowledging someone,” he says. “It means …yes, I understand that was funny, but I?m not really laughing.?”
But no matter how often it is used, LOL is still not accepted by many people over the age of 25. On Facebook, there are at least half a dozen anti-LOL groups. “If
something is funny, …ha?, …hehehehe?, or …hee hee? is perfectly fine depending on the joke and more descriptive than LOL,” writes one hater.
Another, Marie Clair, believes that LOL “is a sign of growing illiteracy. Adults are using slang words and ignoring grammar. Their ability to communicate is getting worse.”
But is LOL really a lazy, childish invention? Opinions will continue to vary.
So why has LOL, above all other web phrases, become such a phenomenon?
Because it?s simple yet multipurpose, says Tim Hwang, founder of ROFLCon, an event that brings together computer programmers and computer enthusiasts. “The magic of LOL is that it?s both exclusive and inclusive,” he says. “On one level, it?s simple to understand.”
“But it also conveys something subtle —depending on the situation. It means more than just …funny?. For example, it might be used to help overcome an awkward moment.”
“For school kids, new words and phrases like LOL and NBD (no big deal) are a kind of secret code, a way of saying they are part of a new generation, young, fresh, and unique,” says Tony Thorne, author of the Dictionary of Contemporary Slang.
“I go into schools and record slang words —all the new terms kids are saying —words like …lolcano?. And if you talk to kids they will say this is our language —this is what identifies us.”
But aren?t these slang words also harmful to children?s vocabulary? Not at all, say many experts.
“Government education theorists get all worked up about words like LOL —they see them as signs of laziness,” says Thorne. “But the small amount of research on this issue shows that kids who use slang actually have better communicative skills. If we have a literacy crisis, it?s among adults as well as children. And slang is not the cause. In fact, it is enriching the language.”
Diamond agrees: “There will always be a minority who want the English language to remain frozen, that doesn?t admit changes,”he says.”But language is alive. It is evolving.”

Section B: Reading in Depth（每小题2分，共20分）
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage.
Everyone remembers the tragic love story of Jack and Rose in the Hollywood film, Titanic, but few people know that the character, Rose, was based on an actual Titanic survivor, Margaret Delia Devaney. In 1974, she gave one final interview, retelling the story of that fateful night, April 14, 1912, the night the Titanic sank.
Miss Margaret Delia Devaney, 20, boarded the Titanic at Queenstown as a third class passenger together with her friends Mary Delia Burns and Kate Hargadon.
“I was a 3rd class passenger aboard the Titanic, cramped for space in one of the lower cabins. On that particular night, I found myself drawn to what sounded like the singing of morning doves coming from above. Always curious about what the rest of the ship was like, I made my way up past the 2nd class deck, through a room filled with men smoking and playing cards, and up to the main ballroom. There, the orchestra was playing the most beautiful music, and I remained for almost an hour, unseen by anyone, before returning to my cabin to sleep. I must have been exhausted for I never heard or felt the ship hit anything. My friends and I were actually awakened and alerted to the disaster by an older male friend from our homeland, Jack. We ran to the aft deck to see what had happened; there, we saw it, the iceberg, a ghost in the night, white, cold, and sinister. We hurried back to retrieve our lifejackets, while others stood motionless, crying, screaming, or laughing. No one knew how to react, no one knew if the danger was real. We lost track of Jack amidst the confusion and never saw him again.”
“As we made our way up towards the lifeboats, we found the gate leading to the 2nd class deck above already locked. Many were pushing against the gate, animals trapped inside a cage. Bam! Bam! Bam! Over and over, I could feel it in my chest, the sound of the metal gate slamming against its steel frame. Besides the terrified screams of those trapped in the crowd, it was the only sound that could be heard. Water had already reached the deck of the 3rd class cabins, a small, sliver of water, silently slithering past me. The lights were going on and off in no recognizable pattern. It was like a storm in the early spring, lightning flashing, and everyone sensing the thunder was soon to follow. We avoided the crowd and ran to a rope ladder in the aft deck that led to the decks above. One of my friends began suffering from seasickness and had
to stop. My other friend stayed with her while I continued on. I never saw them again either.”
“The main deck was chaotic. I found myself caught up in the crowd around lifeboat C and was pushed in as it was slowly being lowered. People were panicking. We heard many pistol shots, and could see people running hopelessly up and down the decks. One woman jumped towards Lifeboat C as it was being lowered. Her hands reached out desperately, but she missed. She looked back at me, her face frozen in fear, falling…falling…falling towards the icy water below. I heard what sounded like distant thunder; the boilers in the bottom of the ship exploding as they filled with water. Some in the lifeboat were crying. There was nothing anyone could do. We just kept on going.”
“We didn?t row much, just far enough so we wouldn?t be pulled down with the sinking ship. Then we stopped. I watched as the last few tried to save themselves, jumping from the upright stern of the ship, falling like stones some 300 meters into the freezing water. The lights of the ship started to go under, and then soundlessly, perhaps a mile away, it just went down. It was gone. The water had swallowed the massive ship in one big gulp. They told me the people in the water were singing, but I knew they were screaming. The Atlantic, which had just taken the lives of 1500 people, lay silent, still, satisfied. The sky was very black, the stars were very bright. There was nothing left to do but wait … and hope. We started to sing to pass the time. At about 9 a.m., we caught sight of the Carpathia, which had come to rescue us, and in silence, we rowed. The night the Titanic sank had given way to morning. It was finally over”.

Passage Two
Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage.
Various studies have shown that increased spending on education has not led to measurable improvements in learning. Between 1980 and 2008，staff and teachers at U.S. public schools grew roughly twice as fast as students. Yet students showed no additional learning in achievement tests.
Universities show similar trends of increased administration personnel and costs without greater learning, as documented in Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa?s recent book Academically Adrift：Limited Learning on College Campuses.
A survey shows that 63% of employers say that recent college graduates don?t have the skills they need to succeed and 25% of employers say that entry-level writing skills are lacking.
Some simplistically attribute the decline in our public education system to the drain（带走）of the skilled students by private schools, but far more significant events were at work.
Public schools worked well until about the 1970s. In fact, until that time, public schools provided far better education than private ones. It was the underperforming students who were thrown out of public schools and went to private ones.
A prominent reason public schools did well was that many highly qualified women had few options for working outside the house other than being teachers or nurses. They accepted relatively low pay, difficult working conditions, and gave their very best.
Having such a large supply of talented women teachers meant that society could pay less for their services. Women?s liberation opened up new professional opportunities for women, and, over time, some of the best left teaching as a career option, bringing about a gradual decline in the quality of schooling.
Also around that time, regulations, government, and unions came to dictate pay, prevent adjustments, and introduce bureaucratic（官僚的）standard for advancement. Large education bureaucracies and unions came to dominate the landscape, confusing activity with achievement. Bureaucrats regularly rewrite curriculums, talk nonsense about the theories of education, and require ever more administrators. The end result had been that, after all the spending, students have worse math and reading skills than both their foreign peers and earlier generations spending far less on education — as all the accumulating evidence now documents.

大学英语文化教学实践研究- 引言 随着世界经济的高速发展、国际化和全球化的不断推进，英语已经成为国际交流的重要语言工具。中国高等教育中的大学英语也越来越受到学生们的重视。然而，大多数学生在与外国友人的交际中，跨文化交际能力还是相当欠缺的，出现了许多误解、偏差、不快、甚至笑话。表面上看，跨文化交际受阻的根源在于语言。但是实质上，在许多种情况下，交际受阻或失败并不是由语言引起的，而是很大程度上由于文化差异而引起的。造成这种局面的主要原因是什么呢？那就是因为一直以来，英语教学中教与学都过分强调了英语语言知识如语法、词汇、短语等，而忽略了英语语用知识。 一、大学英语文化教学的理论依据 教育部颁发的《大学英语课程教学要求》清晰地描述了大学英语的教学性质：大学英语是以外语教学理论为指导，以英语语言知识与应用技能、跨文化交际和学习策略为主要内容，并集多种教学模式和教学手段为一体的教学体系。如果说高中以前学生们学习英语的主要任务是打好扎实的英语语言知识基础的话，那么，大学阶段就应该是着重培养实际运用语言的能力。众所周知，语言是文化的载体。语言与文化的关系密不可分，相辅相成。美国著名的语言学家萨丕尔在他的《语言论》中写道：文化是一个社会所做的和所想的，而语言则是思想的具体表达方式。我国的外语教学应包括文化教学，大学英语教育阶段要把发展学生的英语交际能力作为教学的最终目标。因此，外语学习就是文化学习，外语教学就是文化教学，大学英语教学就是有效地结合语言
与文化的教学。从某种意义上讲，大学英语文化教学具有广泛的理论意义和实践意义。 二、大学英语文化教学的实践 广义上讲，在大学英语文化教学中，文化是指英语语言国家的历史地理、风俗习惯、文学艺术、行为规范、生活方式、价值观念等。狭义上说，大学英语文化教学涉及到饮食、节日、动物、颜色、禁忌、习语、数字、姓名、称谓、寒暄等方面。由于文化教学涉及面是如此的广，仅靠一节课或者几节课来集中讲解文化现象是不可能的。而且所有的文化现象也不会集中出现在某一个单元。所以，在具体的教学中，授课教师需要科学地有策略地对学生进行文化渗透。下面笔者以《新视野大学英语视听说教程4》（第二版）的Unit 6 The truth can be stranger than fiction 为例，展示大学英语文化教学的实践过程。 （一）课前挖掘相关文化因素 首先，转变学生的观念，正确认识语言与文化的关系。让他们把英语作为一种文化去学习和领悟，而并非简单的字、词、句的堆砌。举个例子，Unit 6 中有段对话：W：Wish me luck！Ive got a job interview this afternoon. Im really nervous. M：Stay calm，best of luck！Ive got my fingers crossed for you. 從语言层面看，学生没有任何一个生词，可是却很难理解got my fingers crossed for you是什么意思。这是一个手势---中指和食指交叉，祝愿别人心想事成、好运连连的意思。第二，引导学生对比学习中英文化差异，提高学生的文化差异敏感度。每个民族都有自己独特的文化。文化只有不同，没有优劣。在学习英语国家的文化时，心中不忘本土文化，求同存异。成功的跨文化交际是两种不同文化的交流，既要懂得对方的风俗习惯，也要向对方展示本国

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统 一考试 2011.11.05 Part I Reading Comprehension （30%） Directions ：There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A ，B ，C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage： The reflective towers of New York City ，which is on the Atlantic migrating （迁徙的）route ，can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass，” said https://www.doczj.com/doc/7d647349.html,urel ，an architect.（76）“ It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights ，and the larger the glass，the more dangerous it is.” About 90，000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often ，they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat （栖息地）loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year. （77）As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council , a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings , will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process. There are no easy fixes , however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet （紫外线的）signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot patterns, shades and net are the main options available. Often , only one section of a building needs to be changed. “ You don‘ t necessarily have to treat every window ,” https://www.doczj.com/doc/7d647349.html,urel said. “ It would be too expensive to do the whole building. ” The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing alterations , is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns. 1. What is the main idea of the passage？ A. New York is a city of glass towers. B. Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds. C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings. D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States. 2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds？ A. Climate change B. Habitat loss C. Lack of food D. Crashing into buildings. 3. What does the word “fixes” in the third paragraph probably mean ？ A. Choices B. Explanations C. Solutions D. Developments 4. ___ are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. A. Dot patterns B. Shades C. Nets D. Covers 5. Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage？ A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird crashes. B. The Jacob K.Javits Convention Center is the first building to deal with the problem of bird crashes. C. About 90 , 000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each year. D. Unfortunately , glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their early stages. Passage 2 Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage： Today‘s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R. , and they live in a world where amazing innovations （革新）are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford；Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital （数字的）, they are impatient to get on with life. The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship （企业家才能）education , in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them. A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation , which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50, 000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell , a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence , which used to be found only in business schools. Now , the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school , and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is the programs ,” she says. “ We need to spread out from the business school.” Either as class projects or on their own , students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and , often, market. In their spare time , students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean ；industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory , create wearable technologies. （78）The entrepreneurship movement has its critics , especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don ‘t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need ,” says Daniel S.Greenberg, author of Science for sale：The perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism. Leonard A.Schlesinger , Babson College‘s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is “ an age-old argument” 6. When Google and Facebook were established , the founders were still ____ . A. in high school B. in the army C. in primary school D. at college 7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship education ？ A. To prepare students for future academic life

学位英考试试题-1 Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal. It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different. In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal! Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes. How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods. 1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from? A. French. B. Greek. C. Roman. D. German. 2. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_______. A. letters B. photographs C. paintings D. objects 3. Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”? A. Ice and Iow temperature. B. Bacteria and oxygen. C. Soil and energy. D. Acid and water. 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
