1、 Until 1983, Tillson Lake had been a lovely weekend and vacation place for many
families. Then everything changed. During the Fourth of July weekend, residents
woke up one morning to find that the lake had people didn't
believe what they were seeing. They looked again, but to their amazement they
found they had been right the first time. The lake was simply no longer there. In its
place was a muddy crater（坑）, 30 feet deep. It was as if the lake had been a giant
bathtub（浴盆）and someone had pulled the plug. The lake's owner, Joseph Unanue,
did indeed pull the plug. That's exactly what happened. The dam（水坝） that held
back the water to form the lake was falling apart, so government officials ordered
him to repair it. They issued him a permit to lower the dam level
He did much more. Mr. Unanue found repairs to the dam would cost $$100,000. He
didn't want to spend that much, so he opened the dam and lowered the water level
until the lake was completely drained. People living above the dam ended up with
no lake. People living below the dam ended up with tons of mud and lots of dead
fish. Everyone involved was angry with Mr. Unanue. Area residents believe Mr.
Unanue acted out of spite（恶意）. They say he wanted to get back at them because
the town wouldn't let him develop an amusement park on the lakeshore. When he
couldn't build his park, he just went away and took his lake with him.

2、 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be
called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that
everyone has a daily energy the hours when you labor through your
work you may say that you're
energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people
the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or
evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar
monologues as:
explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature- and -energy peak in the
evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these
energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can't
change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can
help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must
stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up
later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an
important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change
your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a

slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on
the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the
troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever
possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or
concentration for your sharper hours.
1．If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.
is a lazy person
refuses to follow his own energy cycle
is not sure when his energy is low
is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
参考答案：
D
2．Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
eness of energy cycles.
ar monologues.
C.A change in a family member's energy cycle.
ts to control the energy cycle of other family members.

A
3．If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _______.
his energy cycle
me his laziness
up earlier than usual
to bed earlier
参考答案：
C
4．You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _______.
to keep your energy for the day's work
you to control your temper early in the day
you to concentrate on your routine work
your energy cycle under control all day
参考答案：
A
5．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
g off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.

. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.
helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.
en have energy cycles, too.
参考答案：
B
3、 If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to
profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was
able to analyze defeat was actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse
defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure. For it isn't defeat that
makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement
to s are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the
life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do
face it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other
words, can help to cure its own muse. Not only does defeat prepare us for success,
but nothing can amuse within us a compelling desire to success. If you let a baby
grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole
weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater
strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power that defeat gives, you
can accomplish with it far more that you are capable of.

Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary?
1. 很多人认为有必要举行英语口语考试，理由是......
2. 也有人持不同意见 .....
3. 我的看法和打算

参考答案：
Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English
Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken
English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has
been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker.
Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their
English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken
English will bring the importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college
students, and thus help them with their communicating the other hand, there are
also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the
average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from
their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students
may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the
test, which will not actually improve their spoken English.I believe that a test of spoken
English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and
reform, the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others
in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall make all efforts to
practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.
