厦门大学网络教育2012-2013学年第二学期英语1课程复习题Passage 1 Most of us can remember the days when we didnt use e-mail as an everyday vehicle for communication. Slowly but surely, it crept (悄悄地行进) into our life. E-mail is a valuable tool for college students at any level. Its available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and even at holidays. Most universities assign (分配) students an account (账户) upon entrance, so there is usually not even a choice involved. You can do everything from consulting on homework and projects, keeping in touch with classmates, family and friends, getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events. But, what are the disadvantages?E-mail can be E-jail. You might spend hours writing and responding (回复) to e-mails when you should be hitting (埋头干) the books for an upcoming exam. Or you might be signed up (报名从事) for so many daily services, such as horoscopes, news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so filled up with “junk mail” that finding the important e-mails through your mailbox might take hours.If youre a student, time is valuable. Create and organize your e-mail folders (文件夹) into imporant school related mail, correspondence (通信) with friends and family, and a folder for jokers, horoscopes, and other news services. Always put the mail into the proper folders first, and when youve finished, head for the important school related folder first, respond to the folder for the important e-mails first, and if you have time, you can get to the others.Discourage yor friends from forwarding (发送) those tiresome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain e-mails.

Some scientists suggest that these contacts with nature are good for your health. In one study, hospital patients with a view of trees had shorter hospital stays and less need for pain medications. Another study indicated that prisoners with a view of the outdoors had fewer doctor visits. “Why do we have the desire for nature? Maybe were programmed to need it, since our ancestors survival was so dependent on their connection with nature.” suggests biologist E. O. Wilson. Want to find out if contact with nature improves your outlook on life? Try a few of these ideas. Hang out a bird feeder and watch the birds that visit it. Sit down in the backyard or a nearby park. Close your eyes. What do you hear? Birds singing? The wind in the trees? Crickets (蟋蟀) chirping? Find an anthill. Sit down and watch the ants work. Take a walk right after a rainstorm. What looks different? What smells different? Go barefoot on a sandy beach. Open the curtains and the windows, if the weather allows it. On a windy day, watch the trees. Go to a creek, a river or a park fountain. Listen to the sound of water in motion. Camp out in the backyard or at a nearby state park. Use a tent or sleep on the ground. Find a wide-open space to study the stars. Learn about the different constellations (星座). Raise a garden or plant some seeds in a flowerpot. Go hiking with your family. Talk about all of the colors you see in nature. Take a camera and record your nature experience. 6.

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, which we have been told and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still have no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest years for which figures could be obtained (获得), the number of people who didnt have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting (省略) breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Amold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and most of the recent work involves (涉及) grown-ups, not children. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”11. The main idea of the passage is _.A. breakfast has nothing to do with peoples healthB. a good breakfast used to be important to usC. breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a carD. breakfast is not so important as we thought before12. For those who do not have breakfast, the good news is that _.A. several studies have been done in teh past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to ones healthC. grown-ups have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health13. The underlined part “nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means _.A. people without breakfast can improve their workB. not giving people breakfast improves workC. having breakfast does not improve work, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their work, too14. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _.A. stories, poems, plays, etcB. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America15. What is implied but not stated by the author is that _.A. breakfast does not affect workB. Dr. Pollitt works at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect teh health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonII.
