How Coney Island got its name remains a mystery, though people have found explanations from almost every stage of its history.
A written record came out in 1924. It says that the island was once the home of the Konoh people. The name Konoh was mispronounced and finally became “Coney.”
Another explanation finds the name connected with the arrival of Henry Hudson in New York Harbor in 1609. According to it, John Coleman, Hudson’s right-hand man, was killed by Indians. To honor him, people named the island after him.
The Dutch settled in Manhattan in1624, and they became to Coney Island soon afterwards. Since the Dutch word for rabbit (兔子) was konijn and the island had a large population of wild rabbits, many people have supposed this fact to have led to the name. There was a different story about the Dutch word. The Dutch fought the Indians there and were believed to have said that their enemies “ran like rabbits.”
According to an article in a magazine, an Irish captain named Peter O’ Connor sailed between New York and Ireland in the late 1700s, and he named Coney Island after an island that was close to his home in Ireland and of the same size as the American island.
Unfortunately, there is little evidence (證據(jù)) that the Dutch, or the English after them, used any word “Coney” for several centuries. There is a lot of evidence, however, that the name Coney Island came into use in the first half the 19th century, after a ferry (渡船) service to carry passengers from the island to the mainland.
54. According to the passenger, the name Coney______.
A. was mispronounced by the Konoh Coleman
B. was given by a man called John Coleman
C. comes from an island close to the English coast
D. is close in pronunciation to a Dutch word
55. It is said that John Coleman ______.
A. used his right hand better than the left one
B. was an important assistant of Henry Hudson
C. killed many Indians in battles in 1609
D. was the first man to reach the island
56. The writer believes that the name Coney Island most probably _____.
A. has a history of less than 200 years
B. came into use several hundred years ago
C. was used first by the English, not the Dutch
D. is related to the sail from New York to Ireland
57. From the passage we know that the word mystery means something ____.
A. that history books keep a record of
B. people have found explanations for
C. that has not been known enough about
D. people have not yet thought about
C
Ben Carson, a doctor at Johns Hopkins Children’s center, talks about how he grew up in a poor Detroit Neighborhood, when peer (同齡人) pressure almost controlled his behavior and even his clothes. He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensive Italian shirt.
“My mother made me a deal,” Carson remembers, “She said, ‘I’ll give you all the money I make next week. You’ll be in charge of the family finance (財(cái)務(wù))—buying food and other necessities and paying the bills. Whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want.’”
“I thought, this is going to be great,” Carson says, “I bought things we needed most and then began going through the bills. Of course I ran completely out of money long before everything was paid.”
Then I realized my mother, with her third-grade education, was a financial genius (理財(cái)能手)—just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small sum of money. I’d been a fool. I wanted her to buy me a $75 shirt when she only took home $100 a week, cleaning other people’s floors and washing their toilets. I took a hard look at my behavior and wondered how I could be so selfish.”
“I started studying again. My grades went back up to A’s. Some of my peers laughed at me because I did not follow their pattern. But I refused to let that trouble me, because I had a goal.”
The experience had a lasting effect, “I not only saw and felt the difference my mother made in my life, I am living out that difference as a man.”
58. When Ben Carson was young, he _______.
A. wanted to be as cool as other boys of his age
B. tried to attract girls with his cool manner

A. refused to buy him the shirt

C. asked him to deal with the problem
D. showed him how to save money

A. he had got his shirt anyway

D. he had a better goal to run after
61. Ben Carson’s story tells us that ______.
A. a boy should not learn from his peers
B. he didn’t understand his mother as a boy
C. what his mother taught him has changed his life
D. people with little education may become a genius
D
Most people can remember a time in their lives when they learned something almost by accident, that is, without consciously (有意識地) trying to learn it. Often this kind of learning happens when we are in fact trying to learn something else. For example, many people learn a number of English words not by memorizing them or studying them directly, but by doing something they enjoy, like listening to popular songs that contain them. Similarly, some people learn words in Chinese or Japanese nit by studying those languages directly, but by studying martial arts, such as kungfu or aikido, in which Chinese or Japanese terms are used. Foreign students in the United States often learn the system (體系) of measurement simply having to shop and cook for themselves. Those activities require them to learn words like pound, gallon, inch and yard.
Many educators believe that such a kind of learning, generally called content-based learning, is the best way to learn the rules of a system. Supporters of content-based learning argue that people can best understand and remember a system’s basic rules by coming upon them in the context (環(huán)境) of that system—not by studying and memorizing them out of context. Therefore, supporters of content-based learning feel that grammatical rules can best be mastered indirectly through reading and writing, rather than by mere memorization. Likewise, they feel that mathematical rules can best be learned by working out real-life problems where such rules are needed to find out the answers. In many cases, our own learning experiences may support the ideas that we have a deeper understanding of rules we find out from context than of those memorized out of context.
62. By saying “they learned something almost by accident”, the author means “they learned something without _____.”
A. realizing they are learning it
B. paying attention to the accident
C. understanding what they are learning
D. knowing what they should learn next
63. Shopping and cooking in a foreign country _____.
A. are necessary for students studying systems
B. help one learn measure used in that country
C. tell one what is needed to learn to live there
D. require people to know how to measure
64. Many educators believe that the best way to master the basic rules of a system is ______.
A. learning them in the context
B. producing problems from context
C. memorizing the related words first
D. fixing attention on the rules themselves
65. What does the author most probably think of the content-based learning?
A. He doubts it.
B. He supports it.
C. He considers it funny.
D. He finds it impractical.

A
Grammar is the way a language works. People sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language; but in fact no natural languages have rules. If we use the word “rules”, we suggest that somebody made the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages were started by people making sounds which gradually changed into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call grammar is simply a description of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The short answer is “No”. Very many people in the world speak their own native language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word “grammar”. But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is “Yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly.” It’s important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
So think of grammar as something good, something helpful, something you can use to find your way like a signpost or a map.
41. The author holds that if grammar is described as “rules”, it would suggest that _____.
A. rules must be made to speak the language
B. language goes before grammar
C. rules are fixed by language
D. language is not a new game
42. From Paragraph 1 we can see that _____.
A. language is changing, so is its grammar
B. grammar must be simple to describe a language
C. languages were formed by people now and then
D. grammar should be changed at a particular time
43. According to the author grammar helps when ______.
A. we look up something in a book B. we ask someone to make rules
C. we speak our native language D. we learn a foreign language
44. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Grammar Is the Rules of a Language
B. The Change of Language
C. Grammar Is Your Friend
D. How to Study Grammar
B
In the late 1990s scientists began to notice changes in Yellowstone National Park. Trees that had stopped growing for years began to grow again. Animals started behaving differently. Scientists believe it is the wolves that have caused these changes.
Wolves used to live in Yellowstone. But many people thought wolves would kill animals kept on farms, such as cows and sheep, and they would harm crops, too. In 1926 the last wolf in Yellowstone was killed.
For the next 70 years Yellowstone did not have any wolves. Scientists decided to bring them back to the area in 1995. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service brought in 15 gray wolves from Canada. Today between 250 and 300 wolves live in Yellowstone—and they have already left their mark.
Wolves have been hunting and eating elk. The elk leftovers (馴鹿被吃剩的部分) provide food for animals such as bears. With fewer elk, plants can grow better and taller. This new plant growth provides more trees for birds and more plant food for beavers. The number of beavers in northern Yellowstone has increase greatly since wolves were reintroduced.
Wolves have such a big effect on Yellowstone because they are a keystone species (物種). Keystone species are species on which a large number of other plants and animals depend. The removal of a keystone species can lead to the death of other species.
However, not everyone is happy with the wolves’ return. Farmers want to limit the number of wolves in the area, because if there are too many wolves, they may have not only their cows and sheep killed by wolves, but also their cats, dogs, and horses.
Still, many scientists believe that Yellowstone is starting to look more like it did before people began to kill wolves there.
45. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Wolves have played an important role in Yellowstone for 70 years
B. Wolves in Yellowstone had all been killed by the mid-1920s
C. Yellowstone had no wolves at the beginning of the 20th century
D. Yellowstone can hold no more than 300 wolves today
46. The sentence “… they have already left their mark” most probably means in the passage that _____.
A. they have brought about changes to Yellowstone
B. they have made marks where they can get food
C. they have left a lot of footprints in the park
D. they have marked out the areas of their own
47. What is the immediate change after 15 wolves were brought in?
A. Plants grow taller and better

In most of the United States, students attend classes for 5 days each week. Schools are required to hold classes for about 180 days a year. Recently, schools in some areas of the country have begun experimenting with the new teaching arrangement of holding classes for 4 days a week. Classes would meet their Monday through Thursday, or Tuesday through Friday. Some schools in 12 American states are now using that schedule (日程安排).
The students still have the same number of total hours in class as before. But they attend school for a longer time on each of the 4 days. In Colorado, schools on the four-day week hold classes for seven-and-one-half hours a day for 144 days. Traditional (傳統(tǒng)的) schools meet for 6 hours a day for 180 days.
Many schools on a four-day schedule offer special programs, trips or sports meets on the fifth day. Officials say this gives students even more time in class than on the traditional schedule. Students do not have to miss school to go to the events. They can also go to doctors or deal with other important affairs on the fifth day.
The main reason for shortening the school week is that many schools can save money by not providing meals or transportation for students on the fifth day. And they say research shows that students are not harmed by the shorter week.
49. How many teaching hours do most of the schools have in the U.S.?
A. 6 hours for 4 days a week B. 6 hours for 5 days a week
C. 7.5 hours for 4 days a week D. 7.5 hours for 5 days a week
50. What change does the four-day school week bring about?
A. Students attend classes for 180 days a year
B. Students have fewer class hours than before
C. Students take part in more after-class activities
D. Students have to take special programs on the fifth day
51. Which of the following is true about the four-day schedule?
A. It is being practiced in some states
B. It is being planned all over the country
C. It helps students save money for meals
D. It prevents small schools from closing down
D
After then years of being a housewife and a mother, Carol could not stand it any longer. Then, one morning, just after her two daughters had gone to school, she saw an advertisement(廣告)in the paper. She phoned, and was asked to come to an interview(面談) that very afternoon.
Mr. Hollins, who interviewed her, was a young man about 24 in a black suit. There was a hard look in his eye and he talked very fast. He told her she would be required to stop men between the ages of 21 and 50 and ask them several questions designed to determine what men think of deodorants. The information was to be recorded and she would be paid according to the number of complete interviews she had.
When Carol asked which factory the research was for, she was told that was not important. Last of all, before she began she would have to attend a one-day training. Carol accepted. After the training, which was only about how to write down the answers correctly in a form and how to put the questions, Carol found herself in the center of town at 9:30 in the morning. She soon found out that getting the information was really not at all that easy.
First, she stopped a man who refused to answer any questions because he had no time. Next, a man told her it was none of her business whether he used deodorants or not. Then she interviewed a man who was hard of hearing and, instead of answering her questions, began asking her all sorts of his own. Finally, Carol found a young man with a pleasant smile on his face. He was coming towards her slowly and seemed ready to talk. He looked surprised when she put her first question. “I’m doing a research, too. It’s about soap powders,” he said.
52. Mr. Hollins told Carol that she was required _______.
A. to record what she heard in the streets
B. to collect men’s opinions on a product
C. to pay visits to men aged 21 through 50
D. to stop people who were using the product
53. Before Carol started to work, she learned how to _____.
A. fill her personal information in a form
B. receive training that might help her do the job
C. put the information collected in the form provided
D. ask interesting questions in the training course
54. What can we know about the third man Carol stopped in the town center?
A. He was impatient to listen to Carol
B. He was ready to answer Carol’s questions
C. He found it hard to believe what Carol said
D. He had trouble getting what Carol was saying
55. Carol found in her work that _____.

Up to now, you have probably spent most of your time o English grammar and new words. You already know quite a lot about what the rules of English grammar are, and how to form sentences in English. This knowledge is necessary for you to continue your study, but it is not enough for you to speak English well. In order to develop conversational listening and speaking skills, you need practice in these skills, and this is what this textbook aims to give you.
Each unit in this book does not aim at grammar. Instead, the main goal of each unit is to provide conversational tasks or functions (功能) such as introducing yourself, talking about likes and dislikes, and inviting someone to go somewhere. In order to take part in English conversation, it is necessary to learn how these and other basic functions are used in English.
At the end of each unit, you and your classmates will work together to solve (解決) a problem based on the functions you have just learned.
This book gives you chances to listen to native speakers. It also gives you guided practice in developing conversational skills.
36. What does this book aim to provide for the user?
A. Knowledge about grammar rules
B. Ways to remember new English words
C. Exercises for skills to form sentences in English
D. Practice in conversational listening and speaking skills
37. At the end of each unit learners are required _______.

C. to introduce a classmate D. to learn another function
38. This book is probably written for English learners_______.

I always feel sorry for world learners busy dealing with fights between nations. When my three children were young, most days it was hard keeping my house from becoming a battlefield.
It got worse as they grew older. Three years ago, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters, Alex 11 and Taryn 9, angry.
My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age. We reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family. His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”
I even tried telling the girls to fight back. Bad idea. Now I had three children at war. When there was no way out, I told everything to my sister in an e-mail. She replied, “Don’t e-mail me. E-mail him.”
Our son was online (上網(wǎng)) every day, mailing and talking with his friends. Maybe he would actually hear me this way. I didn’t say anything different, but e-mail just took the tension(緊張氣氛) away. There’s be no shouting or door banging. Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.
Zack didn’t reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four small words. I smiled when I read them: “You’re right. I’m sorry.”
The children still fought, of course, but Zack changed. Best of all, I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them. I like that they don’t tune me out as much. They like not having to listen to me shouting to them. Or as Alex says, “You’re so much nicer online.”
All I know is that the house is quiet, but we’re talking.
39. What was the trouble before the online talk in the family?
A. The writer failed to understand her daughters.
B. The children couldn’t get along peacefully.
C. The family found it difficult to keep the house clean.
D. The parents were not willing to talk with their children.

A. Talking with him about his pain.

41. The writer e-mailed her sister_______.
A. to tell her the family problem
B. hoping she’d e-mailed the boy
C. asking about child-raising
D. to reduce the tension
42. Tune me out in the passage probably means “_______”
A. quarrel with me B. get angry with me
C. pay no attention to me D. keep me out of their room
C
Hundreds of thousands of young children are being given mobiles(移動(dòng)電話) by their parents against official health advice. One in nine five-to-nine-year olds has a mobile. This will rise to one in five in a year or two, making this the fastest growing group of mobile users.
A report on mobile safety says that while it is not sure whether they hurt users, children should not be allowed to use mobiles as much as grown-ups. This is because their brains are still developing and their bones are thinner, making it easier for mobile phone radio waves to pass through them. Mobile phone companies say they do not aim at under-16s, although some of their mobiles are designed to interest younger children.
Many of the mobiles are paid for as a safety measure so that the child can always call a parent when necessary. However, when children see that their friends have a mobile, it can become popular among them.
Professor Colin at Oxford University, who studies mobile phone radio waves, told BBC News “It’s new technology(技術(shù)) and the science is still developing. We have to be very careful about children—if there are any effects they would hurt young children more than grown-ups.” He suggested that children should be encouraged to use text messages rather than spoken conversations, this would reduce the amount of radio waves greatly.
43. Which age group of mobile users is increasing fastest?
A. From 1 to 5 B. From 5 to 9
C. From 9 to 16 D. Above 16
44. What do mobile phone companies say about their business?
A. They make mobiles for those over 16.
B. They don’t serve those who are under 16.
C. Their designers know the brains of children users.
D.Younger children are more interested in their mobiles.
45. According to Professor Colin, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Reducing radio waves is a hard task for scientists.
B. Children should not be allowed to use mobiles.
C. Scientists usually care for young children more than grown-ups.
D. Sending each other text message is safer than regular calling.
46. What do you think is the purpose of this passage?
A. To make known that children mobile users are increasing very fast.
B. To warn people about the danger of children using mobiles.
C. To discuss the effects of mobile phone radio waves.
D. To teach people a safe way of using mobiles. D
When memories of holiday pumpkin pies (南瓜餡餅) are not fresh any more, large-pumpkin growers are already planning next year’s crop. Every year farmers around the world work very hard to see who can grow the world’s largest pumpkin.
The present world record belongs to Steve Daletas of Oregon. His pumpkin weighted 1,385 pounds (682 kilograms). That’s heavier than large bears! In August the pumpkin grew 29 pounds (13 kilograms) per day! Our reporter spoke with Andrew Sabin, who was one of the organizers of the 2003 Large-Pumpkin Weighing Competition (比賽).
To grow a large pumpkin, Sabin explained, you need the right seed and the right soil, and a lot of hard work. “It’s like a baby, ” he said, “You look at your baby every day.”
All the hard work leads up to the weighing competitions, which usually take place in October. Top prize winners can earn thousands of dollars.
Just getting the large pumpkins away from the farm can be very difficult. The pumpkins are so heavy that farmers often have to use forklifts (叉車) to move them.
What do farmers do with the large pumpkins after the competition? According to Sabin, restaurants often buy the pumpkins for show. Top winners can also sell their pumpkin seeds to other farmers hoping to beat the world record the next year.
Would the large pumpkins be made into pumpkin pies? Not likely, Sabin said. “They don’t taste so good as the small pumpkins that are grown to eat.”
Animals seem to like them though—at least one large pumpkin was fed to an elephant at the Oregon Zoo!
47. Which of the following is TRUE of the passage?
A. People continue to pay attention to holiday pumpkin pies.
B. Farmers in the world are eager to grow pumpkins for food.
C. Farmers try their best to grow pumpkins as large as possible.
D. Pumpkin growers find it difficult to plan the next year’s farming.
48. What can we know about Steve Dalctas from the passage?
A. His pumpkin is the heaviest in the world.
B. His farm has grown 1,385 pounds of pumpkins.
C. He tries to find bears heavier than his pumpkin.
D. He is an organizer of the 2003 pumpkin competition.
49. What does It refer to in “It’s like a baby”?
A. Seed B. Pumpkin C. Soil
50. What might happen to the largest pumpkins after the competition?
A. Winners move them back to their farms.
B. The Oregon Zoo uses them to attract visitors.
C. Their seeds are sold to the farmers who need them.
D. Some restaurants make huge pumpkin pies with them.
