Practice 4  “My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”  Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.  “But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”  Mr. Bennet made no answer.  “Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently. “You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”  This was invitation enough.  “Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”  “What is his name?”  “Bingley.”  “Is he married or single?”  “Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”  “How so? How can it affect them?”  “My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”  “Is that his design in settling here?”  “Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”  “I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.”

有一天班纳特太太对她的丈夫说:“我的好老爷,尼日斐花园终于租出去了,你听说过没有?”
班纳特先生回答道,他没有听说过。
“的确租出去了,”她说,“朗格太太刚刚上这儿来过,她把这件事的底细,一五一十地告诉了我。”
班纳特先生没有理睬她。
“你难道不想知道是谁租去的吗?”太太不耐烦地嚷起来了。
“既是你要说给我听,我听听也无妨。”
这句话足够鼓励她讲下去了。
“哦!亲爱的,你得知道,郎格太太说,租尼B斐花园的是个阔少爷,他是英格兰北部的人;听说他星期一那天,乘着一辆驷马大轿车来看房子,看得非常中意,当场就和莫理斯先生谈妥了;他要在‘米迦勒节’以前搬进来,打算下个周末先叫几个佣人来住。”
“这个人叫什么名字?”
“彬格莱。”
“有太太的呢,还是单身汉?”
“噢!是个单身汉,亲爱的,确确实实是个单身汉!一个有钱的单身汉;每年有四五千磅的收入。真是女儿们的福气!”
“这怎么说?关女儿们什么事?”
“我的好老爷,”太太回答道,“你怎么这样叫人讨厌!告诉你吧,我正在盘算,他要是挑中我们一个女儿做老婆,可多好!”
“他住到这儿来,就是为了这个打算吗?”
“打算!胡扯,这是哪儿的话!不过,他倒作兴看中我们的某一个女儿呢。他一搬来,你就得去拜访拜访他。”
“我不用去。你带着女儿们去就得啦,要不你干脆打发她们自己去,那或许倒更好些,因为你跟女儿们比起来,她们哪一个都不能胜过你的美貌,你去了,彬格莱先生倒可能挑中你呢?”

  • 第3题:

    Text 4A writer said yesterday that Richard M. Scrushy, the former chief executive of HealthSouth, paid her through a public relations firm to produce several favorable articles for an Alabama newspaper that he reviewed before publication during his fraud trial last year.

    The articles appeared in The Birmingham Times, a black-owned weekly in Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud. "I sat in that courtroom for six months, and I did every thing possible to advocate for his cause," Audrey Lewis, the author of the articles, said in a telephone interview. She said she received $10,000 from Mr. Scrushy through the Lewis Group, a public relations firm, and another $1,000 to help buy a computer. "Scrushy promised me a lot more than what I got," she said.

    Charles A. Russell, a spokesman for Mr. Scrushy, said he was not aware of an explicit agreement for the Lewis Group to pay Ms. Lewis. The payments to Ms. Lewis were first reported by The Associated Press yesterday. "There's nothing there I think Richard would have any part of," Mr. Russell said.

    Mr. Russell said that Mr. Scrushy reviewed the articles before they were published. "Richard thought she was doing a little, 'F.Y.I., here's what I'm writing,' " Mr. Russell said. Ms. Lewis said that Mr. Russell, a prominent Denver-based crisis communications consultant, was also involved in providing her with financial compensation. She said Mr. Russell wrote her a $2,500 personal check at the end of May 2005; Mr. Russell said that was true. "She was looking for freelance community-relations work after the trial," Mr. Russell said.

    Ms. Lewis came into Mr. Scrushy's sphere through Believers Temple Church; she attends services and works as an administrator there. She and Rev. Herman Henderson, the pastor, were part of a group that appeared in court with Mr. Scrushy and often prayed with him during breaks. Before and during the trial, in which 11 of the 18 jurors were black, Mr. Scrushy, who is white, forged ties with Birmingham's African-American population. He joined a predominantly black church, and his foundation donated to it and other black congregations.

    Mr. Henderson also said he received payments from Mr. Scrushy in exchange for building support for him among blacks. Mr. Scrushy said in a statement yesterday that his foundation donated money to Mr. Henderson's church, but said the payments were unrelated to his case. "My foundation donated to his church building fund and to a Katrina relief effort that his church sponsored," Mr. Scrushy said. "That's it. Period."

    Ms. Lewis, 31, said she was disclosing details about the financial arrangement because Mr. Scrushy still owes her and Mr. Henderson a significant amount of money. Ms. Lewis provided copies of a retainer agreement that Mr. Scrushy signed last April with the Lewis Group, a public relations firm controlled by Jesse J. Lewis Sr., 82 the founder of The Birmingham Times, and a check issued to her in May from the Lewis Group. (Ms Lewis and Mr. Lewis are not related.)

    第36题:The word \\\"acquitted\\\" (Line 2, Para. 2) probably means ________.

    A. discharged

    B. arrested

    C. quitted

    D. punished


    正确答案:A
    该词所在原句为“Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud.”(Mr. Scrushy因36项指控而授受了6个月的审判,6月份……,尽管前HealthSouth主管指证其策划了一项大的账目作假。)因为前后半句是转折关系,所以可以推断Mr. Scrushy并没有受到制裁,因此选项A“宣布无罪”,B“逮捕”,C“解除”,D“惩罚”中,A符合逻辑。

    In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summery below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the blanks 51-5.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.  For many years after he formed his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein visited many universities in different cities where he gave talks about it. He had his own chauffeur who drove him to where he was to give the talk. The chauffeur sat at the back of the room while he was giving his lecture, and then drove him home.  One day, the chauffeur said to Einstein, “Professor, I have heard you give your talk so many times that I know every word of it.” “Do you?” Einstein said with a smile. “Let’s find out, shall we? You give my next talk for me. Nobody knows what I look like where we’re going. I’m just a name to them.” Just before they reached the university where Einstein was to give his talk, he changed places with his chauffeur.  The chauffeur’s memory was excellent and he was able to give Einstein’s talk exactly as Einstein gave it. He did not understand a word he was saying, but this did not seem to matter. Then, as he was leaving the university, one of the teachers who had been at the talk came up to him.  “Professor Einstein,” he said. “That was a most interesting talk. I’d be grateful if you would answer a question.” The chauffeur hurried on. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I’m late for my next meeting.”  “I’ll walk with you,” the teacher said. “I want to talk to you about the problem.” The teacher walked along beside the chauffeur and asked him to solve a very difficult mathematical problem.  The poor chauffeur couldn’t understand the problem, let alone attempt an answer. He did not know what to say. Then he had an idea. “It’s so simple,” he said. “Even my chauffeur could answer it.”  He pointed to his car, where Einstein was standing, still wearing the chauffeur’s cap.  “This man has a maths question,” he said to Einstein. “It’s so easy I’m sure even you can answer it.”  Summary:  Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who worked out the Theory of Relativity. He used to travel around the country with his chauffeur giving (1)      on mathematics. His chauffeur knew his talk very well so Einstein asked him to give the talk at the next (2)      where they did not know him. The chauffeur did well, but afterwards a teacher came up to him and asked him a difficult (3)      .The chauffeur did not know the answer but he said, “This problem is so simple I’m sure my chauffeur knows (4)      it.” Then he pointed to Einstein still standing (5)      beside the car.

    正确答案:
    1.talks  文章第一话明确指出爱因斯坦经常带着他的司机到各地演讲。
    2.university  由第二段最后一句话可看出他们是到大学做演讲。
    3.mathematical problem  由第五段最后一句话可以看出那个老师问的是一道非常难的数学题。

A former Time Magazine reporter, Mr. Moritz left journalism to become one of the most successful venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. Through Sequoia Capital, the firm he joined in 1986 and has led for many years, Mr. Moritz was an early investor in Google, Yahoo, PayPal and LinkedIn. His personal fortune is estimated at well over $1 billion. Oxford University announced last Wednesday that he and his wife, the novelist Harriet Heyman, donated £75 million, or $115 million, to fund a new scholarship program aimed at providing financial aid to students from low-income backgrounds. Behind the headlines about the size of the gift was a family story of immigration, education and a sense of obligation that transcended generations.
      “I grew up in Cardiff, went to an ordinary comprehensive school, and was the only pupil in my year to go to Oxbridge,” Mr. Moritz explained. “My father was plucked as a teenager from Nazi Germany and was able to attend a very good school in London on a scholarship.” In an interview afterward, Mr. Moritz said that his father, Alfred, had grown up in Munich, where his father was a judge who lost his post when the Nazis came to power. Mr. Moritz’s mother, Doris, was part of the kindertransport, a rescue effort that took about 9,300 unaccompanied, mostly Jewish children from Germany, Austria, Poland and Czechoslovakia to Britain shortly before the outbreak of World War Ⅱ. “ My father’s cousin, Fritz Ursell, was also rescued from terrible circumstances. When he came to Britain, he also benefited from scholarships, and grew up to become a member of the Royal Society,” said Mr. Moritz.
      “It is all too easy not to remember, ” said Mr. Moritz, who has a history major and the editor of Isis, Oxford’s student literary magazine, as an undergraduate before completing an MBA at the Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania. In May, Mr. Moritz announced that he had been diagnosed with a rare medical condition which is incurable. But he preferred not to name the disease. “I felt I wanted to be my partners and with the public. But I didn’t want every ghoul on the internet following me.”
      Charlotte Anderson, a second-year student studying German at Oxford and the first person in her family to go to a university, said that anxiety about taking on debt had nearly kept her from accepting the offer from the school. “it’s great to think that future students who follow me can do so without the fear that I went through.” She said while attending the news conference. Asked whether the university’s campaign to finance student scholarships through private donations rather than government funding meant that Oxford was giving up efforts to secure more public support, the university’s chancellor, Chris Patten, a former Conservative minister to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and John Major, joked that he was “ no longer allowed to have any political views.”

    It can be inferred from the passage that the family background of Mr. Moritz ( ).

    A.showed how scholarship changed his family members’ life.
    B.gave him the motive to study hard to be successful.
    C.illustrated that his family emphasized on education very much.
    D.proved that immigration family can also make great achievements.

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是推理判断。
    【关键词】inferred from the passage; the family background of Mr. Moritz
    【主题句】第二段 Mr. Moritz explained. “My father was plucked as a teenager from Nazi Germany and was able to attend a very good school in London on a Scholarship.”(莫里茨先生解释说。“我父亲十几岁时被纳粹德国选中,在伦敦凭借奖学金上了一所非常好的学校。”) My father’s cousin, Fritz Ursell, was also rescued from terrible circumstances. When he came to Britain, he also benefited from scholarships, and grew up to become a member of the Royal Society,” said Mr. Moritz. “父亲的表亲,Fritz Ursell也从可怕的情况下被救出。当他来到英国的时候,他也受益于奖学金,并且长大后成为英国皇家学会的一员,”莫里茨先生说。)
    【解析】本题问“从文章可以推断出莫里兹先生的家庭背景( )?”。选项A意为“显示了奖学金如何改变了他的家庭成员的生活”;选项B意为“提供他努力学习追求成功的动机”;选项C意为“说明他的家人非常重视教育”;选项D意为“证明移民家庭也可以取得巨大成就”。根据文章第2段的内容(主题句)可知奖学金改变了他的家人命运。根据文章内容,选项B、C、D相对于选项A并不能很直观地得出结论。

    问答题
    Passage 4  Shortly after I began a career in business, I learned that Carl Weatherup, president of PepsiCo(百事可乐公司), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person handling his, schedule and managed to get myself an appointment. (1) ______  So there I was sitting outside the university’s auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students…and talking, and talking. (2)______ He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes. Decision time.  I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting. “You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 pm.”I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle(过道) toward him as he talked. Mr. Weatherup stopped. (3)______ Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late. He thanked them for their attention, wished them luck and walked out to where 1 was now sitting, holding my breath.  He looked at the card and then at me. “Let me guess.” he said. “You’re Jeff.” He smiled. (4)______ He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time, some wonderful stories that I still use, and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York. But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. (5)______ When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don’t.[A] I began breathing again and we grabbed(霸占) an office right there at school and closed the door.[B] As I sat listening to him, I knew that I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.[C] I became alarmed:his talk wasn’t ending when it should have.[D] He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.[E] I was told, however, that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.[F] I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came.[G] I gradually lost my patience and thought that maybe I should give up.

    正确答案: 1.E 空格前面讲到,得知百事公司的老总要在科罗拉多大学讲学后,“我”设法得到了约见他的机会。根据逻辑分析,接下来也应该是与这次约见有关的信息。E选项说“但是他的时间安排很紧张,他作完演讲之后却只有15分钟的时间可以见我”,这也就是第二段提到的“我”在大学礼堂外面等候的原因。因此,E选项填在此处与前后文语意连贯。故选E。
    2.C 空格前面是在描述“我”在礼堂外面等候的情况。空格后面说到,他已经超过了五分钟了,使我与他见面的时间只剩下了10分钟。C选项说“我大为吃惊,他的演讲没有在规定的时间内结束”,可见,C选项填在此处与前后文语意连贯。故选C。
    3.F 空格前面讲到,“我”在名片后面写了个便条提醒他还有个约会,并推开门,向他走去。根据逻辑分析,接下来就应该是把名片递给他并走回来。因此,F选项填在此处最合适。故选F。
    4.A 空格前面说到,百事老总看了看名片,又看了看我,并说出了“我”的名字。由此可推知,他同意和我谈话。因此,接下来理应是介绍他们谈话的相关内容。A选项说“我们在学校的一间办公室见面并关上了门”,天在此处语意连贯。故选A。
    5.D 空格前面的句子说到,“我”最珍视的他给与我的就是他鼓励“我”继续按照“我”的做法去做。而根据前文可知,“我”所做的就是有胆量打断一个总裁的演讲。D选项说的就是总裁对“我”所作鼓励的具体内容,填在此处语意连贯,符合逻辑。故选D。
