Indeed, without basic research skills and the ability to present research results clearly and completely, an individual will encounter many obstacles in school and on the job. The need for some research-writing ability is felt nearly equally by college students in all fields, engineering and science as well as business and the humanities. Graduate study often makes great demands on the students research-writing skills, and most professions continue the demand; education, advertising and marketing, economics and accounting, science and engineering, psychology, anthropology, the arts, and agriculture may all require regular reporting of research data.作为学生和专业人员，他们花了大量时间将自己的研究项目的结果报告给老师，经理和委托人。的确，一个人如果没有从事研究工作的基本技能和将研究成果清楚而完整地表达的能力，那么他就会在学习和工作中碰到许多障碍。科研写作能力的需要对于在各个领域的学生都是相等的，无论理工科学生还是商务、人文学科的学生都是这样研究生阶段的学习对学生的科研写作提出了很高的要求，而且大多数职业继续要求这样：教育（学）、广告与市场营销、经济学与会计学，理工科、心理学、人类学、艺术以及农艺可能都要定期报告研究的信息。Unit 3 first paragraphThrough all of our history we have pondered the stars and mused whether humanity is unique or if, somewhere else in the dark of the night sky, there are other beings who contemplate and wonder as we do, fellow thinkers in the cosmos. Such beings might view themselves and the universe differently. Somewhere else there might be very exotic biologies and technologies and societies. In a cosmic setting vast and old beyond ordinary human understanding, we are a little lonely; and we ponder the ultimate significance, if any, of our tiny but exquisite blue planet.自从人类有历史记载以来，我们一直在思索着星星，反复考虑是否只有人类存在，或者说在太空深处的某个地方是否存在其他同我们一样在不停地思索着的生命，也就是宇宙中跟我们一起思考的人。这样的人可能对自己和宇宙算法不同。在别的什么地方可能存在着非常奇异的生物、技术和社会。我们在一种空间和时间都超出人类理解的宇宙环境里感到有点孤独。我们深思着根本的意义，我们这个渺小的但精巧的蓝色星。Unit5 first paragraphMaybe it is time to adopt a new strategy in trying to figure out why life today is so difficult, and what can be done about it.

This does not mean attractiveness in the ordinary sense, for that is a born quality beyond our control. The leader has, nevertheless, to be a magnet; a central figure towards whom people are drawn. Magnetism in that sense depends, first of all, on being seen. There is a type of authority which can be exercised from behind closed doors, but that is not leadership. Where there is movement and action, the true leaders is in the forefront and may seem, indeed, to be everywhere at once. He has to become a legend; the subject for anecdotes, whether true or false; character. One of the simplest devices is to be absent on the occasion when the leader might be expected to be there, enough in itself to start a rumor about the vital business which has detained him. To make up for this, he can appeal when least expected, giving rise to another story about the interest he can display in things which other folks might regard/ view as trivial. With this gift for inspiring curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk about himself. His interest is plainly in other people he questions them and encourages them to talk and then remembers all that is relevant. He never leaves a party until he has mentally field a minimum dossier(档案) on everyone present， ensuring that he knows what to say when he meets them again. He is not artificially extrovert but he would usually rather listen than talk. Others realize gradually that his importance needs no proof。PartClose test1. 答案B解析本题测试词义搭配。本句译文：领导艺术的一个最重要的因素是吸引力。这不是指普通意义上的吸引力，因为那是一种我们无法控制的天生的品质。beyond ones control意为“无法控制，在控制力之外”； be in control of意为“持有对的控制力”；under control意为“在的控制之下，得到控制”。2. 答案C解析本题测试同义词辨析。本句译文：然而，领导者必须是一块磁石，一位能把他人吸引到身边的中心人物。draw to/towards意为“吸引”；drag意为“拖拽，(工作、时间)缓慢而协调地进行”；haul意为“用力拖拉”；unite意为“联合”。3. 答案D解析本题测试惯用搭配。考查词组depend on。4. 答案C解析本题测试词义搭配。本句译文：在紧闭的门后施展权威，体现不出领导能力。exercise authority(use authority)意为“行使权威”；recognize意为“认出”；respect意为“尊敬”。5. 答案A解析本题测试结构搭配。where引导一个地点状语从句，其他选项不符合句意。6. 答案B解析本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。本句译文：他必须是一个传奇人物、奇闻轶事(不管是真是假)的中心主题、一个重要角色。subject意为“主题”。7. 答案C解析本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。or表示前后词的意思并列，在这应互为反义词，所以选false。注意：wrong和right对应；bad和good对应。8. 答案B解析本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文：最简单的策略之一是在众人期盼的场合下缺席，这足以引起谣言，谈论到底是什么重要的事把领导耽搁住了。on the occasion意为“在场合下/情况下”。9. 答案D解析本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。译文：当某领导被大家的时候，他缺席了，这足以引起谣言，揣测他耽搁的原因。所以是领导“该出席没出席”，只能选expect“期待，盼望”。refuse意为“拒绝”，suspect意为“怀疑”，expel意为“驱逐”，三个选项均不合题意。10. 答案A解析本题测试句法分析。后面的定语从句修饰the vital business，而从句中缺少一个主语，因此只能选择which。when和where分别表示时间和地点，作状语不能作主语；what不能引导定语从句。11. 答案B解析本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文：为了补偿这次缺席的影响，他在最意想不到的场合出现，引起另一轮关于他的兴趣的猜测，人们会认为他在其他人认为琐碎的事情上显示出兴趣。make up for意为“补偿；弥补”。12. 答案B解析本题测试惯用搭配。display/show/express interest in sth. 意为“对显示出兴趣”。13. 答案C解析本题测试词义搭配。view sth.as(regard sth.as)意为“把认为/当作”。其他选项在搭配上均错。注意错误选项B，当变成think ofas时与regardas同义。14. 答案C解析本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。相关译文：“此领导具有激发他人好奇心的天赋，但不愿谈论自己。他的兴趣显然在别人身上：他向下属提问，鼓励他们交谈，然后记住所有的相关信息。”inspire意为“激励”。curiosity意为“好奇心”，possess意为“拥有”，decrease意为“减少”，均不符合题意。urge意为“力劝；驱策”，与上文的语气不符。15. 答案D解析本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。由上文“这位领导不愿意谈论自己”分析出此句为“他的兴趣在他人”。只有plainly意为“显然地”为正确答案。scarcely意为“简直不/一定不”；obscurely意为“模糊地，含糊难解地”。16. 答案B解析本题测试结构搭配。在定语从句中，先行词为特殊词时，后面只能用关系代词that引导，不用which，所以that为正确答案。17. 答案C解析本题测试结构搭配。相关译文：直到他在头脑中已经整理好了在场每个人的微型档案后才会离开人群，确信知道下次再遇到他们时要讲什么。18. 答案B解析本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。前面已提到“他记住所有他人的相关信息”，所以选与之对应的everyone，“头脑中形成在场每个人的微型档案”。19. 答案D解析本题测试结构搭配。D正确，what是兼为先行词的关系代词，等于the thing(s) which。20. 答案C解析本题测试结构搭配。本句译文：他骨子里是一位具有外向性格的人，但是他宁愿多听取他人的想法，而不是自己喋喋不休。“would ratherthan”意为“宁可也不”。 Once there was a student who wrote one failing paper after anotherNothing he put down on paper was ever any good and his teacher knew itFinally he quit school，and as he packed his bags he wrote a long note to the deanHe explained that he had wanted to be an auto mechanic not a college student, but that social pressure and his sense of duty to his family had forced him to go to sch001It just wasnt working out，and his composition course was the worst course of a11He recommended that composition teachers give students more realistic and practical assignments and encourage them to write what they need to write The remarkable thing about this farewell note to the dean was that it was itself an outstanding example of good writingThere were no errors in grammar or punctuation or spellingThe prose flowed when It should have flowed，was crisp when it should have been crispIt was full of the right information，in the right placeat the right time-in other words，full of dramatic powerDespite a series of failing compositions, this student knew how to write-but only when he felt he had something important to say and someone to say it to.Language is power, as the poets have said. At least some of the time, the pen is mightier than the sword. Writing is almost likely to be good when the writer wants it to be, when the degree of involvement in the subject is high, when the feeling behind the sentences is genuine. When you write, say what you want to in such a way that your readers will be persuaded to accept your goals as theirs also.Composition Page 122 or 253 20 pointspage122“Slow”Food Is Giving Way to Fast FoodA virus is attacking all of us todayIt is the obsession with speedThis virus enslaves our mind and intrudes upon our privacySuch is the view of a group of gourmets who gathered in Paris in December 1989 to voice their concern over the way we live in contemporary timesThey made a pledge to preserve the traditional way of life，which allows people to enjoy life at a leisurely pace. And a good way to restore this tradition，according to them，is to eat slowly The efforts of these gourmets，however，seems powerless to stem the tide The march of American fast food into China is a case in pointIn 1987，Kentucky Fried Chicken set up shop in ChinaS capital BeijingToday，it has become one of the indispensable restaurants in the Tian An Men Square areaIn a country used to food cooked with meticulous care，people are learning to love fast food as their tempo of life quickensOn October 1，1997，the Qianmen Shop of Kentucky Fried Chicken set a world record when it sold almost half a million yuan of fried chicken in a single day!Change is a fact of life.
