综合英语（四）课程复习提要
综合英语是中央广播电视大学成人专科英语专业的必修课程之一，分四个学期开设，每个学期期末进行全省统一考试。综合英语（四）在第四学期开设。
一、
考核对象
中央广播电视大学英语专业专科第四学期的学生。
二、
考核方式
本课程的考核采取两种形式：形成性考核和课程终结考试。课程总成绩为百分制，形成性考核占20%，课程终结考试占80%。
1． 形成性考核：包括平时作业、参与面授辅导和各项教学活动的情况。
2． 课程终结考试：满分100分，由四川电大统一命题，在同一时间实行全省统一考试。
三、
命题依据
本课程终结考试的依据是中央广播电视大学英语成人专科教学计划、“综合英语”课程教学大纲以及《新思维综合英语 （IV）》教材。
四、 评价目标和标准
1． 词汇：认知词汇约3500个（包括已学的约2000个），熟练掌握其中的约1500个基础词汇（包括已掌握的约800个）及其最基本的搭配，并能在语言交际中正确运用。
2． 语法：较好地掌握基本语法规则，正确运用已学语法知识。
3． 阅读：能运用上述语言知识，以每分钟80~90个词的速度阅读与所学词汇、语法水平相当的英文材料，并能根据上下文猜测生词的词义。要求了解所读材料的中心大意，领会要点并掌握有关细节。
4． 翻译：能运用上述语言知识，进行简单的英汉互译，无重大语法错误。
考试的基本评价标准相当于该科目普通高等院校二年制专科第四学期结束时的水平。
五、 命题原则
根据教材所涉及的交际话题、交际功能、语法知识以及与教材难度相当的读写技能命题。
由于英语专业专科的学生在学习“综合英语”课的同时，还开设了“英语阅读”、“英语口语”、“英语听力”等其它课程，所以在“综合英语”这门课的考试里，不设立听力和口语考核的内容。口语和听力技能的考核将在“英语口语”和“英语听力”课程的考试中来完成。希望老师和同学们在学习和复习过程中能充分把握好一点，那就是：“综合英语”是一门集听、说、读、写、译为一体的英语多项技能综合训练课。我们学习英语的目的也不外乎提高运用英语进行交际的能力，即所谓“Communicative skills”。

(1)
Blameless
I was a freshman in college
when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I
felt at home with them instantly. Jane White and I became friend at school, and
her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family,it was always
important to place blame when anything bad happened.
“Who did this?”my mother would
yell about a mess in the kitchen.
“This is all
your fault, Katharine,”my
father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little,
my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the
dinner table.
But the Whites didn't worry
about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives.
The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer that Jane died.
Mr. and Mrs. White had six children:
three sons and three daughters. One son had passed away in childhood, which may
be why the surviving five children remained so close.
In July, the White sisters
and I decided to take a car trip from their home in
The big sisters shared the
driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip,but when they
reached less populated areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in
Jane was killed instantly.
I survived the accident with
only a few bruises(伤痕).The
most difficult thing that I've ever done was to call the Whites to tell them
about the accident and that Jane had died. As painful as it was for me to lose
a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White
arrived at the hospital, they found their two surviving daughters sharing a room.
Sarah’s head was wrapped in bandages; Amy’s leg was in a cast(石膏).They hugged
us all and cried tears of sadness and joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped
away the girls' tears and teased a few giggles(咯咯笑)out
of Amy as she learned to use her crutches(双拐).
To both of their daughters,
and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said,“We're so glad
that you're alive.”
I was astonished. No
blame.No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites
why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop
sign.
Mrs. White said,“Jane's gone,
and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will bring her back. But Amy has
her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she
feels we blame her for her sister's death?”
They were right. Amy
graduated from college and got married several years ago. She works as a
teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls
of her own, the oldest named Jane.
51.The
writer of the article is ______.
［A］Mrs.White's
niece
［B］the Whites'
cousin
［C］Sarah's friend
at college
［D］Jane's friend
at school
52.In
what way did the writer find the White family completely different from her
own?
［A］Her parents
were not as good natured and loving as the Whites.
［B］Hers were very
strict parents while the Whites were too permissive.
［C］When something
went wrong the Whites didn't blame their children for it.
［D］When something
bad happened, her parents wanted the children to learn a lesson.
53.How
did the accident occur?
［A］Amy ran a stop
sign at an intersection and a truck crashed violently into their car.
［B］Amy wanted to
impress her sisters and was driving too fast to see coming truck.
［C］Amy was too
nervous to brake in time when she saw a truck running towards them.
［D］Amy was an
inexperienced driver and didn't know what to do when she saw the sign.
54.Mr.
and Mrs. White did not blame Amy for Jane's death because ______.
［A］Amy was badly
injured herself and they didn't want to add to her pain
［B］they didn't
want Amy to live with a guilty conscience the rest of her life
［C］Amy was their
youngest daughter and they loved her best
［D］they didn't
want to blame their children before an outsider
55.From
the passage we can conclude that ______.
［A］Amy has never
recovered from the shock
［B］the accident
didn't change Amy in the least
［C］as her head was
severely damaged,Amy didn't feel any guilt
［D］Amy has lived
quite a normal life,but she can never forget Jane

It's Mugger's Game In
Martin had lived in
“What are the
odds(可能性) in favor of
me getting mugged?”he
asked his friend Lenny.
“How much are
you willing to bet?”said
Lenny, who was a compulsive gambler.
“Holcombe on,
this is too important to bet on!”
“Nothing is too
important to bet on,”said
Lenny, shocked. That was the end of their friendship.
“How do you
think I can avoid getting mugged?”Martin
asked his friend Grace. Grace had not been outside her apartment in five years,
as a sure-fire(保险的)
way of avoiding being mugged. It had failed; someone had broken in and mugged
her.
“I've no idea,
Martin,”she
said.“Most of these
guys are on drugs anyway, and they need the money for their addiction(毒瘾).”
This gave Martin an idea. If
the muggers only needed the money for drugs, why didn't he offer them drugs instead?
Then possibly they would be so grateful that they wouldn't harm him. Through
some rich friends he knew he bought small quantities of different drugs. He had
never touched the stuff himself, so he had to label them carefully to make sure
he didn't get them mixed up.
One day he was walking in a
part of
“You want drugs?”he cried.“I've got drugs!
Anything you want you can have. Just name it. But don't touch me!”
The three men let go of him
respectfully.
“We almost made
a big mistake there,”said
one of them.“This
guy's a pusher. Hurt him and we could have the Mafia(黑手党) down on us.
Let’s see what you got, mister.”Somewhat
to his surprise, Martin found himself displaying his wares to his customers.
Even more to his surprise, he found himself accepting money for the drugs, much
more than he'd paid for them.
“How come you
guys have all this money?”He
said.“Why are you out
mugging when you have money?”
“Well, we’re not
muggers,”said
the Caucasian, embarrassed.“We're
out-of-work actors.”
“I thought
out-of-work showbiz(演艺)
people always became waiters or barmen,”said
Martin.
“Right. But
there are so many showbiz people in catering now that you can't get work as waiters.
So we had to get work as muggers.”
When Martin got home, he
bought some more drugs from his friend. Pretty soon he sold them to some more
muggers.
Shortly after that he found
he was spending more and more time pushing drugs,and making more and more money
at it. Being afraid of muggings had turned him into a professional drug-pusher.
One day a man leapt out at
him and grabbed him.
“You want drugs?”said Martin.“I've got drugs.”
“I want money,”said a familiar
voice.
“Lenny!”cried Martin.“How're you
doing?”
“Badly,”said Lenny.“I lost
everything gambling.”
He hit Martin on the head
and took his money, wallet and all his credit cards, leaving the little packets
of white powder behind.
Moral: It’s no
use offering drugs to a money addict(上瘾的人).
56.Martin thought he was going to be mugged soon
because ____
A.everyone gets
mugged at least once in forty years.
B.he had been
mugged more than once before.
C.most people
in
D.there were
too many people like Lenny in
57.He decided to offer drugs to would-be muggers
because ____
A.he decided he
could get drugs more easily than he could earn money.
B.he believed most
muggers were more interested in drugs than in money.
C.he found
himself having more drugs than money.
D.he thought
most muggers didn't need the money.
58.When he was finally mugged, he wasn't harmed
because ______
A.the muggers
found he didn't have any money on him.
B.the muggers
were actually playing a practical joke on him.
C.the muggers
were impressed by his readiness to co-operate with them.
D.the muggers
thought he had connections with and was protected by the Mafia.
59.Well,at
least mugging is being integrated he thought. The sentence shows Martin thought
at least ____
A.there was no
racial discrimination in mugging.
B.mugging
involved people from different races.
C.muggers were
united as one in their crime.
D.people from
