外国语学院大学外语教学部2009年8月2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷Part I. Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage. You must read the four choicesmarked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.(2’×20)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying. But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever. This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life.The American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller, men and women are becoming more equal, and the divorce rate is higher. But despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people remarry, but only 2% marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home. So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much, whether or not the mother works outside the home. In fact, working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children.The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century. The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television.School is the second most time-consuming activity for children. They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school. A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before, and they stay in school longer. Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers (日托站) has almost doubled in recent years. Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity, the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.1 The main idea of this article is that _______.A. the American family is dyingB. young people today don’t want to get marriedC. the American family is changing, but it is stronger than everD. education has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family2 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Marriage is more popular than before.B. Many divorced people remarry.C. The majority of marriages last long.D. Working mothers devote less time to their children.3 The author of this article believes that ________.A. the American family is here to stayB. children should not watch so much televisionC. mothers should not work when their children are smallD. teenage marriages should be encouraged4 What is the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century?A. The daycare center.B. Television.C. The school.D. Development time.5 According to the writer, which two major factors have led to the belief that the Americanfamily is dying?A. The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children.B. The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else.C. Divorces are increasing and many teenage marriages break up.D. Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them. Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives you wha t --- and why.The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “I agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries toda y－so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They are given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, this giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.6 The first paragraph is written to tell readers that ________.A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself betterB. the gifts you receive are helpful for you to know the personality of those who give themC. gifts can show friendship and loveD. there is a certain relationship between the kinds of gifts and the people who give them7 A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter ________.A. clothesB. a homemade giftC. a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiverD. a gift that matches the character of the giver8 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. What you wear can tell something about your personality.B. Homemade gifts are not welcomed in some countries.C. People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do.D. Reading books given to you as gifts can be a way of sharing a feeling with the giver.9 If you give a large, heavy book as a gift, it may show that _________.A. you are knowledgeableB. the receiver is interested in readingC. you dislike readingD. you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contents10 People who want to show their love towards others often give _______.A. homemade giftsB. delicious foodC. expensive clothesD. interesting booksPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent’s farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do zoology at university.I did n’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn’t know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea starfish. I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There ar e people who will alter things deliberately: you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won’t get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact that there are increasingly few places where no one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless, wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11 The author decided to go to university and study zoology because _______________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time12 How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.13 The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because ______________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars14 According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make people realizethat ___________________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals15 Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking”onlin e－many ofthem are talking at the same time.It is fast: trying talking to six people at once. It is convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(= be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (= on the floor), or LOL (= laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go) or TTYL (= talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.16 When people are online, they talk by_____.A. using body language.B. drawing some strange picturesC. making phone callsD. making use of an especially short form of English17 Internet makes many people in the world ______.A. talk at the same timeB. discover their friends and relativesC. pick out good things to buyD. find out about some problems in society18 The underlined sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanation”(L.1, para. 4)means that _____.A. people should use words properlyB. people should know what time it is when they are talkingC. people online have to express themselves in a simple wayD. people should communicate in a funny way19 If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is highB. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes20 Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Many people draw pictures.C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D. People never use the “shift” key.Part II.
