41、Passage 1 Every country has its share of the odd beliefs that we call superstitions. And of all the subjects that superstitions have been built around, the most outstanding is salt. The properties of salt have puzzled people everywhere. Today we know its chemical nature. We know why salt can help to thaw snow or to freeze ice cream. But early man did not have this knowledge. He looked on salt as magic. As magic, it had the power to do good or evil. Man probably first noticed salt when he saw animals near a salt lick. When he tried some, it tasted good. Then he found out that salt could keep food from spoiling. He began to imagine that it could protect him as well. He valued salt for both its magical and its chemical properties. In those days salt was scarce in some place. It was too precious to be wasted. So there was a sensible reason for being careful not to spill salt. Spilling slat was indeed and unlucky accident. Superstition gave another meaning to the same accident. Early man was sure that the good spirit guarding him had caused him to spill the salt. It was a warning of evil near him. Good spirits were thought to live on the right side of the body; bad spirits were on the left. So early man threw a pinch of salt over his left shoulder. The salt was a bribe to the spirits that planned to harm him. To many people, spilling salt meant sadness. This superstition arose because tears are salty. An old belief in Norway is that enough tears much be shed to dissolve the salt that is spilled. And there is an old saying, “Help me to salt, help me to sorrow.” Faith in the magic of salt explain another old belief. People thought it was easy to catch a third if its tail feathers were salted. Not long ago report seemed to show there was some truth in this belief. Birds flying close enough to the Great Salt Lake in the United State were said to be easily captured. But the cause is not the magic power of salt. It is the weight of salt on their wings that keeps the birds from flying away. The properties of salt gave rise to other beliefs about it. Salt itself lasts, and it helps to preserve food. So men thought it was much like friendship. Many old customs link salt with friendship. Salt is often given as a present to a friend in his new home. In ancient Greece, a stranger was welcomed by having a pinch of salt placed in his right hand. In the East, salt was put in front of strangers as a pledge of goodwill. In Hungary, people sprinkle the threshold of a new house with salt. When this is done, no witch or evil thing will enter the house. We know today that salt is needed for good health. In Ancient times the Greeks and Romans thought that the salt in seawater made the water pure. So they worshiped a goddess of salt. She was the goddess of health. In her name, salt was placed on the tongue of a child at birth. This act was thought to make sure of long life, good health, and protection from him. The custom is still followed in some places. Old beliefs about salt have not all disappeared, and some “salty” words and expressions are still part of our speech. The word salary has come to us from time when salt was scarce. Roman soldiers, officials, and working people were often paid with salt. That pay was called salarium, which came from the word salt, sal. Salarium meant salt money. We also use the expression “He’s not worth his salt.” To praise a person, we might say: “He’s the salt of the earth.” Most people today do not allow superstitions to rule their actions. We know that these very old beliefs are not likely to be based on facts. But they show that early man, like man today, was trying to understand the world about him. 1.Early man looked on salt as magic because_______. 单选题 1分

Salt itself lasts, and it helps to preserve food. So men thought it was much like friendship. Many old customs link salt with friendship. Salt is often given as a present to a friend in his new home. In ancient Greece, a stranger was welcomed by having a pinch of salt placed in his right hand. In the East, salt was put in front of strangers as a pledge of goodwill. In Hungary, people sprinkle the threshold of a new house with salt. When this is done, no witch or evil thing will enter the house. We know today that salt is needed for good health. In Ancient times the Greeks and Romans thought that the salt in seawater made the water pure. So they worshiped a goddess of salt. She was the goddess of health. In her name, salt was placed on the tongue of a child at birth. This act was thought to make sure of long life, good health, and protection from him. The custom is still followed in some places. Old beliefs about salt have not all disappeared, and some “salty” words and expressions are still part of our speech. The word salary has come to us from time when salt was scarce. Roman soldiers, officials, and working people were often paid with salt. That pay was called salarium, which came from the word salt, sal. Salarium meant salt money. We also use the expression “He’s not worth his salt.” To praise a person, we might say: “He’s the salt of the earth.” Most people today do not allow superstitions to rule their actions. We know that these very old beliefs are not likely to be based on facts. But they show that early man, like man today, was trying to understand the world about him. 2.After spilling salt, a superstitions person would________. 单选题 1分

43、Passage 1 Every country has its share of the odd beliefs that we call superstitions. And of all the subjects that superstitions have been built around, the most outstanding is salt. The properties of salt have puzzled people everywhere. Today we know its chemical nature. We know why salt can help to thaw snow or to freeze ice cream. But early man did not have this knowledge. He looked on salt as magic. As magic, it had the power to do good or evil. Man probably first noticed salt when he saw animals near a salt lick. When he tried some, it tasted good. Then he found out that salt could keep food from spoiling. He began to imagine that it could protect him as well. He valued salt for both its magical and its chemical properties. In those days salt was scarce in some place. It was too precious to be wasted. So there was a sensible reason for being careful not to spill salt. Spilling slat was indeed and unlucky accident. Superstition gave another meaning to the same accident. Early man was sure that the good spirit guarding him had caused him to spill the salt. It was a warning of evil near him. Good spirits were thought to live on the right side of the body; bad spirits were on the left. So early man threw a pinch of salt over his left shoulder. The salt was a bribe to the spirits that planned to harm him. To many people, spilling salt meant sadness. This superstition arose because tears are salty. An old belief in Norway is that enough tears much be shed to dissolve the salt that is spilled. And there is an old saying, “Help me to salt, help me to sorrow.” Faith in the magic of salt explain another old belief. People thought it was easy to catch a third if its tail feathers were salted. Not long ago report seemed to show there was some truth in this belief. Birds flying close enough to the Great Salt Lake in the United State were said to be easily captured.

46、Passage 2 In the State, each fall a new crop of first-year college students, wavering between high hopes for the future and intense anxiety about their new statue, scan college maps searching for their classroom. They have been told repeatedly that college is the keys to a well-paid job, and they certainly don’t want to support themselves by flipping hamburgers or working at some other dead-end job. So, notebooks at the ready, they await what college has in store. Unfortunately，many of them will not return after the first year. Why do so many students leave? There are several reasons. Some find the academic program too hard, others lack the proper study habits or motivation, and a large group leave for personal reason. Not surprisingly, the academic shortcomings of college students have strong links to high school. In the past, a high-school student who lacked the ability or desire to take a college-preparatory course could settle for diploma in general studies and afterward find a job with decent pay. Now that possibility scarcely exists, so many poorly prepared students who has taken nothing beyond general mathematics, English, and science. Most college do offer courses and other assistance that may help some weaker students to survive. In spite of everything, however, many others find themselves facing ever-worsening grade point average and either fail or just give up. Like academic shortcomings, poor study habits have their roots in high school, where even average students can often breeze through with a minimum of effort. In many school, outside assignments are rare and so easy that they require little time or thought to complete. To accommodate slower students, teachers frequently repeat material so many times that slightly better students can down. This “kindness” produces students who can’t or don’t want to study, students totally unprepared for the rigorous demands of college. There, courses may require several hours of study each week in in order to be passed with even a “C”. In many programs, outside assignments are commonplace and demanding. Instructors expect students to grasp material after one explanation, and many won’t accept late papers at all. Students who don’t quickly develop disciplined study habits face a flood of low grades and failure. Poor student motivation worsens faulty study habits. Students who thought high school was boring find even less attraction in the more challenging offerings. Lacking any commitment to do well, they shrug off assigned papers, skip classes, and avoid doing required reading. Over time, classes gradually shrink as more and more students stay away. With final exams upon them, some return in last-ditch effort to save a passing grade, but by then it is too late. Eventually, repetition of this situation forces the students out. 6.Which of the following is true of first-year college students? 单选题 1分
