Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends ―that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their families.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depend on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more you may get for a vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a _______ weekend almost once a month.A) 1-day B) 2-day C) 3-day D) 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from ________.A) Monday to Saturday B) Tuesday to SundayC) Thursday to Friday D) Tuesday to Friday3. Which statement is NOT true according to this passage?A) Only a few shops remain open on New Year’s Day._Today the position is quite different. Women can now vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970 a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to equal pay with men for work of equal value. Yet despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great difference between men and women. Many employers — maybe even the majority — seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act, and the average working women is likely to earn only about half what a man earns for the same job. Most women who do work still do unskilled jobs, while only a small proportion of the country ’s workers, possibly one third, are in fact women. There is also great inequality in education. Only a quarter of all university students are women, and, at present boys ’ schools are undoubtedly much better than girls ’ schools. 1. Which of the following couldn ’t a woman probably be in the 19th century? A) A nurse. B) A manager. C) A shop-keeper. D) A land-lady. 2. Women have the right to equal pay because ________. A) a law was passed B) the Equal Pay Act was passed C) they can vote D) they do the same jobs as men 3. Paragraph 3 gives examples of ________. A) equality of women B) inequality of women C) the improving situation for women D) ideas for the future 4. The last sentence of Paragraph 1 suggests that ________. A) women were happy in the 19th century B) people thought that women were unhappy in the 19th centuryC) women were worse off than todayD) women were better off than today5. The author of this article probably agrees that ________.班级学号姓名---------------------------------------------装-----------------------------------------订----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------------装订线以内不准作任何标记_He looked into the room —no one was there.

Yet Fisher pushed ahead with his plan to build a track.In two years the track was finished. It took 450 workers, 300 mules, and seven giant steamrollers to do the job. First, the ground was made perfectly flat. Then gravel was spread over the two-and-a-half-mile track. The top layer was made ofcrushed stone and tar. Grandstands to hold 15,000 people were build.The first races at the track were a disaster. The road broke under the speeding autos. Dust and rocks flew into drivers faces. There were several accidents. Some drivers and even some fans were killed.Auto racing might have ended after that. But Carl Fisher promised to make the track safer.

大学英语泛读期末考试试题

大學英語泛讀期末考試試題( B )(1)( 1 )When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1. The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A. what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeB. they are not well educatedC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school2.

In the last line of the second paragraph, the word "approach" means_____.A. means of enteringB. speaking to someone for the first timeC. way of coming nearer toD. manner of doing something5. The passage could be best entitled _____.A. "Learn from a Model"B. "Learn, Learn and Learn Again"C. "Learn Forever"D. "One Is Never Too Old to Learn" ( 2 )The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye." The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1. The first window was a _____.A. large hole in the wallB. hole covered with canvasC. slit in the wallD. slit with a piece of paper over it2. The word window meant _____.A. opening to look throughB. light givenC. windD. wind's eye3.

It seems true that the larger, canvas-covered windows _____.A. were not as good as the first windowsB. let in more light and kept out more windC. did not let any air inD. were as good as today's windows( 3 )It was once believed that a person was in great danger when he sneezed-people imagined that the soul could escape from the body at the moment of sneezing. "God bless you" was a prayer for assistance in keeping the soul where it belonged.The German word Gesundheit (good health) is a variation of this prayer; the Irish deiseal and the Italian felicita are similar prayers. The Hindus say a word that means "live," and when a Mohammedan sneezes, he praises God.The Zulus of South Africa, far from being afraid of sneezes, believe that a sneeze signifies a friendly spirit's blessing. Whenever a child sneezes, they shout "Grow!" hoping the friendly spirit that stimulated the sneeze will help the child grow tall and strong. The ancient Hebrews also believed that a sneeze was good-a sneeze indicates life; the dead never sneeze.The Japanese say that if you sneeze once, someone is saying good things about you; if you sneeze twice, bad things are being said about you; if you sneeze three times, you have caught a cold.1. People once thought that anyone who sneezed was _____.A. sickB. in dangerC. in good healthD. evil2.

It would be reasonable to conclude that _____.A. many people say prayers when they sneezeB. a prayer keeps the soul where it belongsC. all peoples were afraid of sneezesD. the moment of sneezing is very dangerous( 4 )Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case. It is as vital to her as her purse. Yet, she doesn't wear glasses. The reason she can't do without it is that she can't read and she can't write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the specs case, finds it's empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her. Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem. Her husband didn't know and her children didn't know. The children still don't.She had any number of tactics for hiding her difficulty-for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn't read them stories, but then their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking, "What's that all about, then?"Brenda's husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage. For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself. A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth. While he's away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't do anything until she's discussed it with her husband. Brenda was very successful in her job until recently. For the last five years she had worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.1. Brenda carries an empty spectacles case wherever she goes because_____.A. she is always so forgetfulB. she uses it as a purseC. it may provide her with an excuseD. she wishes to look like an educated woman2. The word "fish" in the first paragraph means _____.A. searchB. pretendC. examineD. touch3. Brenda's children have never found out about her problem as _____.A. she isn't often at homeB. they are too young to guess the truthC. they find it normal to ask their father for everythingD. they think it natural that short-sighted people like their mother don't do much reading or writing4. What most probably made Brenda try hard to hide her difficulty?A. Her desire to be successful in her job.B. Her fear of losing face.C. Her deceitful nature.D. Both A and B5. Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate?A. Brenda and Her FamilyB. A Woman Who Doesn't Wear GlassesC. A Woman with an Empty Specs CaseD. The Miserable Life of a Waitress( 5 )George's case is not unique. In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life. Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them. A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided. Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them. Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition. A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable. She had two children and no savings; but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind. Her health improved. She may never work again; if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them. An office employee who has been pushing papers (has been doing paperwork) for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything. An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual. Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, orgrowing fruit trees. An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古學）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites. His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation. They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure. No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules. This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness; many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring. But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living). The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the "dropouts"（退出世俗社會の人）are not wealthy. And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job) now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude. In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life. Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred. And there was yet another factor. Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（補償）from the government for a while. But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find. In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession. Losing it was a disaster; not looking for another one, a shame. As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then. A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to. But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work. Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie. But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those "shameless" people who choose to live in unearned idleness （懶惰）have a good conscience too.1. In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosento drop out of the working world because _____.A. they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their livesB. they are not well paid at workC. they want to live a more leisurely lifeD. all of them have work that is too demanding2. After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A. relieved and peaceful, though worried about her securityB. bored, without friends and companionsC. that she needed another jobD. the pressures and burdens of life3. According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A. often worry about their workB. work without any complaintsC. find it very easy to do their jobsD. don't mind being controlled by others4. According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A. reaching a higher position in societyB. enjoying full freedom and independenceC. working hard and having a good relationship with his communityD. earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities5. Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue?A. To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B. Happiness can be obtained only through hard work.C. Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D. Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.01級泛讀期末試題(B 卷)1、fill in the brackets with the words given below the passage.Kenneth and Isabel were both South African –born .

Another theory is that shy people never learned how to act with other people because no one ever taught them social skills. The third theory says that shy people learned to be shy when they were children because their parents didn’t encourage them to be more confident . The parents probably comforted them and gave them extra attention when they acted shy, so the children learned that being shy was a good way to get extra love and attention.. Now researchers say that apparently all three theories are true.Can shy people change their behavior ? Sometimes they can force them selves to do things that are different .” Practice makesperfect..” If they practice enough, the difficult situations become easier. However , it takes a lot of courage to do this.People who have more self-confidence can notice when people are shy and encourage them to talk and praise them when they are successful in their job or studies.Shy people feel miserable much of the time. Others can help them feel more comfortable.Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.____ 1. One theory says that people are shy because nobody taught them social skills.____2.

Intercultural communication involves different beliefs , attitudes, and interpretations.2. We know that .even two people from the same culture can have communication problems . People can unconsciously hurt each other by something they say or do.

Even the busiest government official or executive always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this hospitality.“ The conference visit” is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world.3... Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.Making decision quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.Patience is an important quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high- level government officials as they are verybusy. Give yourself enough time.Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to doing business in Arab countries. 4. Try to identify the decision –maker regarding your product or service immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework..

Not much research has been done on it. Psychologists say that people of all skin colors blush. Women blush more than men, and young people blush more than older people. Some people blush only a few seconds, but the blush can appear and disappear for five or ten minutes in other people. Usually only the face or upper part of the body blushes.Blushing is related to general anxiety, when people feel worried and nervous about what is going to happen. Some people blush because they are always worried about what others think of them. They do n’t have any confidence in themselves. They think other people are more attractive and more popular . They believe others have more knowledge . They become very uneasy if they have to deal with people from a different socialbackground, or if they have to work with more intelligent or more skilled people.5. Shy people get very anxious when they don’t know how to act in some situations that other people think are just ordinary. They feel inferior and want to get out of the situation.11.. Shy people blush because___________.A. they are worried about othersB. they are worried about what others think of them.设技术包含线设完毕案以与相关技术作，来采用高C. they have special skin colors12. Shy people have a strong sense of the following except_________.A. inferiorityB. anxietyC. confidencePassage FiveIn 1968 the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had a problem. The city's school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this multi million-dollar project. City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided to use the many scientific and cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms. Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers. Among these institutions were such prestigious names as the Franklin Institute, with its science museum, workshops, and classes; the Free Library, containing nearly a million volumes; the Academy of Natural Sciences, Fels Planetarium, and the Rodin Museum.The experiment in education, known as the Parkway Program, began in February 1969. John Bremer, an Englishman and education innovator, planned the program and became itsdirector.The Program has grown in size from 142 to 500 high school students and is so popular that thousands of applicants are denied places each year. The Program gives a freedom to high school education never known before. To supplement basic courses required for a diploma languages, history, science m students may choose from more than a hundred other courses. Any subject will be offered if an instructor can be found. Every group of 15 boys and girls belongs to a "tutorial group", led by a teacher and one assistant. Students in the Program say that school is no longer a place but an interesting activity.About 100 institutions in Philadelphia m public, private, commercial m help the Program. During any one week students may be found in such diverse places as a bakery, a church or the municipal gas plant. Such places merely provide space for classrooms. Other institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania or the Temple University Medical School allow the Program's own faculty to teach in their laboratories or other facilities. Other establishments provide both classroom space and instruction. One pharmaceutical-manufacturing company, for example, conducts a chemistry course.In addition to their studies, students are encouraged to take part-time jobs. "The life of the city is our curriculum," says Director Bremer. "Life and learning are all part of the same process.” Learning is excitement in this experimental program but it is not meant for every child. The student must be able to handle the freedom and self-discipline that the Program demands for academic successChoose the best answer:13... What was the problem Philadelphia had in 1968?a. Its school system needed a new school building.b. More teachers were needed for its school system.c. It lacked money for its educational project.d. Both a and b.14..

The director of a cultural institution.c. An Englishman called John Bremer.d. Someone in charge of the city's school system.16..Every "tutorial group" consists of____________.a. a large group of children and their tutorb. 15 boys and girls, a teacher and his assistantc. 15 boys and 15 girlsd. 15 boys but no girls17.. About 100 institutions in Philadelphia______________.a. provide space for classroomsb. open such courses as are required in the Programc. allow their laboratories and other facilities to be usedd. offer their helpPassage SixIn October 1800 John Todd was born in Rutland, Vermont. Soon afterward his parents moved to Killingworth, Connecticut. When John was six, both his parents died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. Hewas brought up by her and lived in her homeuntil he left to study for the ministry.His aunt took seriously iii and feared she was about to die. In great distress she wrote John T odd aletter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like.Here is the letter he sent in reply:It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world. You sent meword you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me. I have never forgotten the day when I madethe long journey of ten miles to your house in North Killingworth. I can still recall my disappointmentwhen, instead of coming for me yourself, you sent your servant James to fetch me.I well remember my tears and anxiety as, perched high on your horse and clinging tight to James, Irode off to my new home. Night fell before we finished the journey, and as it grew dark I becamelonely and afraid. "Do you think she'll go to bed before we get there?" I asked James anxiously. "Oh, no,"he said reassuringly. "She'll stay up for you. When we get out of these woods you'll see her candleshining in the window."Presently we did ride out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle. I re memberyou were waiting at the door, that you put your arms close about me and that you lifted me--a tired and bewildered little boy -- down from the horse. You had a fire burning on the hearth, a hot supper waitingon the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and then sat besideme until I fell asleep.You probably realize why [ am recalling all this to your memory. Some day soon God will send foryou, to take you to a new home. Don't fear the summons, the strange journey, or the dark messenger ofdeath who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do forme so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will besafe in God's care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you are out of sight, and then wait for the daywhen I shall make the same journey myself and find you waiting at the end of the road to greet me.Choose the best answer:18.. Why did John Todd's aunt ask him to go to North Killingworth?a. His parents had died and he was alone.b. His parents didn't want him anymore.c. She meant him to study for the ministry.d. She was afraid that he would run away from home.19... Why was John Todd disappointed when he arrived in North Killingworth?a. There was no one there to meet him.b. He didn't like the town.c.

Each passage is followed byfive questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Every animal is a living radiator — heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.1.The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it_____.A. produces heat in its body cellsB. burns fuel to produce heatC. sends out heat from its bodiesD. requires oxygen to produce heat2.Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by_____.A. restoring heat continuallyB. storing heat in their body cellsC. regulating the amount of heat producedD. regulating the amount of heat given off3.The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on_____.A. how much it weighsB. what food it eatsC. what it is likeD. how long it lives4.An animal weighing less than 2.5 grams would starve because it would not be able to_____.A. get enough oxygenB. maintain its body temperatureC. burn its food fast enoughD. eat fast enough to supply fuel5.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.B. The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.C. Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.D. The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.Passage 2California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, shortof arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.6. Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?A. Lake Tulainyo.B. Mojave Desert.C. Death Valley.D. The Salton Sea.7. Where is the highest point in the United States located?A. Lake Tahoe.B. Sierra Nevada.C. Mount Whitney.D. Alaska.8. How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A. About 3 miles.B. Only 100 miles.C. 282 feet.D. 14 494 feet.9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about100 miles of Bakersfield?A. The Pacific Ocean.B. San Joaquin Valley.C. Mojave Desert.D. Oregon and Washington.10. Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?A. The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B. It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having totravel long distance.C. Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within aradius of about 100 miles.D. Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Passage 3Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and atno time more than now. It is always Kids’ Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal. In Kid’s Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was ever inheriting from his son. Kids’ Country may be the inevitable result.Kids’ Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids’ Country. We not only wear kids’ clothes and eat kids’ food; we dream Kids’ dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy’s game to go to the moon.If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.11.The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that _______.A. adults showed less concern for children than we do nowB. adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to doC. children looked and acted like adults at that timeD. children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time12.In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America _______.A. to show differences in family sizeB. to show differences in attitudes towards family relationsC. to sow two kinds of geographyD. to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations13.Going to the moon is an example of _______.A. America’s dreams and creativityB. America’s childish and queer behaviorC. why America hasn’t grown upD. why America is considered the greatest country in the world14.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.B. America is Kids’ Country because the majority of its people are young and vigorous.C. Kids’ Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the countryD. America is more of Kids’ Country than any other countries in the world.15.By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging doing push-upsagainst eternity,” the author means that _______.A. she thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitnessB. she feels too old and tired to do such hard exerciseC. American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearanceD. what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon Passage 4By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.16.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D. People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.17.Adders are most likely to be found _______.A. in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB. in Scotland and nowhere elseC. on uncultivated land throughout BritainD. in shady fields in England18.We are told that British snakes are _____.A. afraid of human beingsB. poisonous including the adderC. dangerous except the adderD. friendly towards human beings19.When will the adder not attack you?A. When you try to catch it.B. When you are some distance away from it.C. When you happen to step on it.D. When you try to pick it up.20.If an adder hears you coming, it will usually ______.A. attack you immediatelyB. disappear very quicklyC. wait to frighten youD. move out of the wayPassage 5While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain baffled over how to cope with another alcohol related hazard: drunken pedestrians (步行者).Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently —and with higher blood alcohol levels —than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 —which by law in most states signifies intoxication —compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000 or one of every seven highway deaths.Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs a board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent mishaps.Studies have revealed some of the causes, which range from a lack of adult supervision for many children involved in accidents to long delays in traffic signals that may encourage jaywalking, speakers said at a meeting. The most challenging problem, however, is alcohol. Some researchers suspect that part of the problem, ironically, may be former drunken drivers whose licenses were suspended and who now are walking. Other researchers, emphasizing the larger social problem of alcohol abuse in general, say many drunken pedestrians are poor alcoholics who often face lonely deaths — and not only on highways.21.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Traffic Safety.B. Drunken Drivers.C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.D. A Severe Highway Safety Problem.22.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is _______.A. long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attentionto traffic rulesB. alcoholC. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidentsD. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time23. According to recent federal data, drunken drivers in deadly accidents _______.A. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkersB. are 2,500 a yearC. are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidentsD. make up one seventh of highway deaths24. It can be inferred from the passage that pedestrian accidents have remained relatively high because _______.A. walking accidents have not received enough attention in the pastB. few methods exist to confine walking habitsC. researchers find it difficult to work out ways to prevent unlucky accidentsD. all of the above25. The passage was most probably written by a specialist in _______.A. town planningB. social historyC. traffic systemD. traffic safetyAnswer SheetPart I Multiple Choices (15 points, 1 point each)1-5: ____________6-10: ____________ 11-15: ____________ Part II Word Match (15 points, 1 point each)1-5: ____________6-10: ____________ 11-15: ____________ Part III Sentence Completion (10 points, 1 point each)1. __________2. __________3. __________4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________8. __________9. __________ 10. __________ Part IV Cloze (10 points, 0.5 point each)1. __________2. __________3. __________4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________8. __________ 9. __________ 10. __________ 11. __________ 12. __________13. __________ 14. ____________ 15. __________ 16. __________17. __________ 18. __________ 19. __________ 20. __________ Part V Reading Comprehension (50 points, 2 points each)1-5: ____________6-10: ____________ 11-15: ____________ 16-20: ____________ 21-25: ____________。

Each passage is followed byfive questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Thenmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Passage 1Every animal is a living radiator — heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.1.The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it.A. produces heat in its body cellsB. burns fuel to produce heatC. sends out heat from its bodiesD. requires oxygen to produce heat2.Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by.A.restoring heat continuallyB.storing heat in their body cellsC.regulating the amount of heat producedD.regulating the amount of heat given off3.The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on.A. how much it weighsB. what food it eatsC. what it is likeD. how long it lives4.An animal weighing less than 2.5 grams would starve because it would not be able toA. get enough oxygenB. maintain its body temperatureC. burn its food fast enoughD. eat fast enough to supply fuel5.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A.There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.B.The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.C.Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.D.The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.Passage 2California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius ofabout 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.6.Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?A. Lake Tulainyo.B. Mojave Desert.C. Death Valley.D. The Salton Sea.7.Where is the highest point in the United States located?A. Lake Tahoe.B. Sierra Nevada.C. Mount Whitney.D. Alaska.8.How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A. About 3 miles.B. Only 100 miles.C. 282 feet.D. 14 494 feet.9.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about100 miles of Bakersfield?A. The Pacific Ocean.B. San Joaquin Valley.C. Mojave Desert.D. Oregon and Washington.10.Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?A.The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B.It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to travellong distance.C.Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a radiusof about 100 miles.D.Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Passage 3Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids, Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child- obsessed. A kid,s body is our physical ideal. In Kid,s Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy （颠倒）situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was ever inheriting from his son. Kids, Country may be the inevitable result.Kids, Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids, Country. We not only wear kids, clothes and eat kids, food; we dream Kids, dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy,s game to go to the moon.If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups （俯卧撑）against eternity.11.The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that.A.adults showed less concern for children than we do nowB.adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to doC.children looked and acted like adults at that timeD.children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time 12. In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America.A.to show differences in family sizeB.to show differences in attitudes towards family relationsC.to sow two kinds of geographyD.to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations 13. Going to the moon is an example of.A.America's dreams and creativityB.America,s childish and queer behaviorC.why America hasn,t grown upD.why America is considered the greatest country in the world14.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.B.America is Kids, Country because the majority of its people are young and vigorous.C.Kids, Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the countryD.America is more of Kids, Country than any other countries in the world.15.By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging doing push-upsagainst eternity,” the author means that.A.she thinks people shouldn,t be so concerned about physical fitnessB.she feels too old and tired to do such hard exerciseC.American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearanceD.what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soonPassage 4By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.16.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B.In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C.Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D.People,s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.17.Adders are most likely to be found.A.in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB.in Scotland and nowhere elseC.on uncultivated land throughout BritainD.in shady fields in England18.We are told that British snakes are.A. afraid of human beingsB. poisonous including the adderC. dangerous except the adderD. friendly towards human beings19.When will the adder not attack you?A.When you try to catch it.B.When you are some distance away from it.C.When you happen to step on it.D.When you try to pick it up.20.If an adder hears you coming, it will usually.A. attack you immediatelyB. disappear very quicklyC. wait to frighten youD. move out of the wayPassage 5While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain baffled over how to cope with another alcohol related hazard: drunken pedestrians （步行者）.Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently —and with higher blood alcohol levels —than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 —which by law in most states signifies intoxication —compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000 or one of every seven highway deaths.Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs a board,s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent mishaps.Studies have revealed some of the causes, which range from a lack of adult supervision for many children involved in accidents to long delays in traffic signals that may encourage jaywalking, speakers said at a meeting. The most challenging problem, however, is alcohol. Some researchers suspect that part of the problem, ironically, may be former drunken drivers whose licenses were suspended and who now are walking. Other researchers, emphasizing the larger social problem of alcohol abuse in general, say many drunken pedestrians are poor alcoholics who often face lonely deaths - and not only on highways.21.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Traffic Safety.B.Drunken Drivers.C.Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.D.A Severe Highway Safety Problem.22.Among the causes of walkers, accidents, the most serious problem is.A.long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attentionto traffic rulesB.alcoholC.a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidentsD.former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time23.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers in deadly accidents.A.are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkersB.are 2,500 a yearC.are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidentsD.make up one seventh of highway deaths24.It can be inferred from the passage that pedestrian accidents have remained relatively highbecause.A.walking accidents have not received enough attention in the pastB.few methods exist to confine walking habitsC.researchers find it difficult to work out ways to prevent unlucky accidentsD.all of the above25.The passage was most probably written by a specialist in.A. town planningB. social historyC. traffic systemD. traffic safetyAnswer Sheet得分阅卷人Part I Multiple Choices (15 points, 1 point each)1-5: 6-10: 11-15:1-5: 6-10: 11-15:得分阅卷人Part III Sentence Completion (10 points, 1 point each)1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.得分阅卷人Part IV Cloze (10 points, 0.5 point each)1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.得分阅卷人Part V Reading Comprehension(50 points, 2 points each)1-5: 6-10: 11-15:16-20: 21-25:。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:“Women ha ve an advantage when it comes to remembering things like the physical features, clothing, and postures of other people,” Horgan says. “This advantage might be due to women being slightly more people-oriented than men are.”The study also found that men and women did better at remembering the appearance of women than they did recollecting how men looked. Women in general may be more memorable than men because their hair and clothing styles and use of jewelry tend to be more varied than that of men. For example, in many offices, men may look similar in their suits and ties, yet women may wear necklaces and earrings, or have other jewelry or clothing that makes their appearances stand out more.However, the results suggest women are not more memorable because people spend more time looking at them. Participants in the study did not look at women any longer than they looked at men.“We really don’t know for sure why women have an advantage at remembering how others look,” Horgan confesses. “But these results go a long with studies that show women are better than men in other areas having to do with interpersonal sensitivity.”For example, various studies have shown women have an advantage at using nonverbal (非语言的) cues to understand how others are feeling, and how they are likely to behave. Women also appear to be better at using nonve rbal cues to figure out someone’s personality traits.31. According to the passage, women are good at remembering features of _________.A) office clerksB) men onlyC) women onlyD) people in general32. Women are generally better remembered than men because _________.A) women are more likely to wear suits and tiesB) women’s appearances stand out moreC) women make themselves more fashionableD) women are more frequently noticed by others33. According to the passage, which of the following factors most probably makes women morememorable?A) Their different social identity.B) Their small proportion in the workplace.C) Their shining jewelry.D) Their generous smile.34. When it comes to interpersonal things, women are more _________.A) sensitive B) open C) conservative D) easy-going35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A) Women seem to have better interpersonal relationship than men.B) Women are generally more undestanding than men in family life.C) Women know what a man will do next without even looking at him.D) Women sometimes learn about other people’s personality without talking to them.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly to blame for the fact that the unemployed are taking 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条), when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, blanketing them with resumes, and then waiting for callbacks. It is a formula for long-drawn-out joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. While the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers, Challenger indicates that it has become the primary tool for many, when it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting prospective employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is prolonging the hiring process for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description.“The more irrelevant resumes managers have to go through in order to select the handful to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes t o fill the position,” points out Challenger. “One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resume in front of the hiring executive for an interview.”“A ll of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to target the type of position a person is seeking.”“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as the tool it can be, rather than just relying on it as a conduit (渠道) for electronic resumes,” concludes Challenger.36. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings __________.A) more unemployment throughout the U.S.A.B) more job opportunites in the Internet worldC) longer waiting time for the unemployedD) longer computer technology training for the job seekers37. Professor Challenger thinks _________ should be considered first by the unemployed.A) going to a traditional training centerB) sending resumes by emailC) browsing the Internet job sitesD) meeting the potential employers in person38. The Internet is prolonging the hiring process for the employer because __________.A) the hiring postion cannot be fully described on the NetB) there is a lot of false information on the NetC) the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughD) it has drawn many unfitting resumes39. It can be inferred that “screening software” (Para. 3) is used to ____________.A) draw more job seekers to the websitesB) get rid of some irrelevant resumesC) serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employersD) forbid the job seekers to visit the employers in person40. According to the passage, the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by ____________.A) changing the recession cycleB) opening more chances for job seekersC) improving the reemployment situationD) reducing the interview timeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Adolescents who demonstrate impulsive (冲动的) and risk-taking behavior and an increased need for stimulation (刺激), a personality trait known as “novelty-seeking,” are more receptive to tobacco advertising and are at high risk for smoking initiation, according to a study by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, and Georgetown University, Washington, D. C.“To better understand the influence of tobacco advertising on youth, this study sought to identify subgroups of adolescents who have been most receptive to tobacco advertising and promotional activities,” explains Jan et Audrain, member of the Abramson Cancer Center, and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine. “While previous research has shown that receptivity to tobacco advertising is associated with higher levels of smoking among adolescents, few studies have examined how variability in personality traits may make certain teens more receptive to tobacco advertising.”Audrain’s research team interviewed 1,071 ninth-graders at five public high schools. The students completed a questionnaire that assessed smoking habits, exposure to other smokers, receptivity to tobacco advertising, and the novelty-seeking personality trait. The level of receptivity to tobacco advertising was determined by measuring whether subjects could name an often-advertised cigarette brand, had a favorite tobacco ad, andif they possessed or were willing to use a tobacco industry promotional item. Novelty-seeking was measured by responses to questions regarding impulsive and risk-taking behaviors.Forty-four percent of the adolescents had moderate to high levels of receptivity. Members of this group were more likely to have tried smoking and to be higher in the novelty-seeking trait. Novelty-seeking adolescents, both smokers and nonsmokers, were twice as likely to be influenced by tobacco advertising. “The heightened receptivity to tobacco advertising among youth high in novelty-seeking may be attributable to their greater need for stimulati on and rewarding experiences,” theorizes Audrain. “Tobacco industry promot ional campaigns, which often highlight stimulating activities and adventurous behavior, appear to be designed to appeal to this feature of novelty-seeking youth.”41. The word “novelty” (Para. 1) most probably means____________.A) something newB) something dangerousC) something commonD) something expensive42. The purpose of the research conducted by the University of Pennsylvania and GeorgetownUniversity is to find out ___________.A) the personality traits of young smokersB) the impact of tobacco advertising on young peopleC) the necessity of limiting tobacco salesD) the harm of smoking on students43. Which of the following was used to test subjects’ level of receptivity to tobacco advertising?A) Asking the subjects whether they were impulsive.B) Asking the subjects whether they smoked frequently.C) Asking the subjects whether they had a favourite tobacco ad.D) Asking the subjects whether they watched tobacco ads on TV.44. What leads to the greater receptivity of tobacco advertising among a particular group ofpeople?A) Their special life experience.B) Their love towards TV programmes.C) Their school atomosphere.D) Their need for exciting experiences.45. Which of the following elements is most likely to be emphasized in tobacco ads?A) Risk.B) Generosity.C) Wisdom.D) Honesty.Section BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statementswith no more than ten words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).Tim Flowers and T ony Yeo, from Sussex University’s School of Biological Sciences, have recently begun a three-year program, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to identify genes that ensure plant growth in saltyconditions.It is estimated that each year more than 10 million hectares of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and inhibits (抑制) plant growth. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林) that traditionally form barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean (地中海沿岸地区), a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗) in. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally.To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do a bsorb in cells that do not affect the plant’s growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests until the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manner of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.1. What is the aim of the research conducted by Flowers and Yeo?2. What is the problem the research is trying to address?3. In Mediterranean, water levels have gone down as a result of ____________.4. How long must Flowers and Yeo wait before they know whether they have succeeded?5. Flowers and Yeo’s work may enable _____________ to become productive once more.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (35 minutes, 25 marks)Section ADirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

大学英语泛读试题及答案

大学英语泛读期末考试试题及答案1 ( 1 )(1 )George's case is not unique. In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life. Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them. A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided. Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them. Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition. A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable. She had two children and no savings; but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind. Her health improved. She may never work again; if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them. An office employee who has been pushing papers (has been doing paperwork) for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything. An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual. Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees. An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古学）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites. His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation. They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure. No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules. This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness; many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring. But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living). The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the "dropouts"（退出世俗社会的人）are not wealthy. And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job) now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude. In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life. Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred. And there was yet another factor. Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（补偿）from the government for a while. But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find. In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession. Losing it was a disaster; not looking for another one, a shame. As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then. A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to. But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work. Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie. But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those "shameless" people who choose to live in unearned idleness （懒惰）have a good conscience too.1. In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosento drop out of the working world because _____.A. they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their livesB. they are not well paid at workC. they want to live a more leisurely lifeD. all of them have work that is too demanding2. After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A. relieved and peaceful, though worried about her securityB. bored, without friends and companionsC. that she needed another jobD. the pressures and burdens of life3. According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A. often worry about their workB. work without any complaintsC. find it very easy to do their jobsD. don't mind being controlled by others4. According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A. reaching a higher position in societyB. enjoying full freedom and independenceC. working hard and having a good relationship with his communityD. earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities5. Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue?A. To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B. Happiness can be obtained only through hard work.C. Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D. Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.( 2 )When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1. The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A. what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeB. they are not well educatedC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school2. In the last line of the first paragraph, the word "arise" means _____.A. bring aboutB. come into beingC. occur toD. cause to happen3. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is _____.A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you admire and make friends with himC. to find a person you respect and watch carefully how he acts in different situationsD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire4. In the last line of the second paragraph, the word "approach" means_____.A. means of enteringB. speaking to someone for the first timeC. way of coming nearer toD. manner of doing something5. The passage could be best entitled _____.A. "Learn from a Model"B. "Learn, Learn and Learn Again"C. "Learn Forever"D. "One Is Never Too Old to Learn"01级泛读期末试题(B 卷)1、fill in the brackets with the words given below the passage.Kenneth and Isabel were both South African –born . They got married in London .

The senior offical had to (8) them to proceed but he warned them that they would be committing a crime if they (9) together . This shows that the law in South Africa forbids a (10) between the white and the coloured .(3 )The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye." The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1. The first window was a _____.A. large hole in the wallB. hole covered with canvasC. slit in the wallD. slit with a piece of paper over it2. The word window meant _____.A. opening to look throughB. light givenC. windD. wind's eye3. The window got its name because it _____.A. kept out the windB. blew out the smokeC. let in more wind than lightD. let in mostly light4. In the ancient castles, smoke went out through _____.A. the windowsB. the doorsC. the chimneyD. a hole in the roof5. It seems true that the larger, canvas-covered windows _____.A. were not as good as the first windowsB. let in more light and kept out more windC. did not let any air inD. were as good as today's windows( 3 )It was once believed that a person was in great danger when he sneezed-people imagined that the soul could escape from the body at the moment of sneezing. "God bless you" was a prayer for assistance in keeping the soul where it belonged.The German word Gesundheit (good health) is a variation of this prayer; the Irish deiseal and the Italian felicita are similar prayers. The Hindus say a word that means "live," and when a Mohammedan sneezes, he praises God.The Zulus of South Africa, far from being afraid of sneezes, believe that a sneeze signifies a friendly spirit's blessing. Whenever a child sneezes, they shout "Grow!" hoping the friendly spirit that stimulated the sneeze will help the child grow tall and strong. The ancient Hebrews also believed that a sneeze was good-a sneeze indicates life; the dead never sneeze.The Japanese say that if you sneeze once, someone is saying good things about you; if you sneeze twice, bad things are being said about you; if you sneeze three times, you have caught a cold.1. People once thought that anyone who sneezed was _____.A. sickB. in dangerC. in good healthD. evil2. "God bless you" was said in order to _____.A. make children grow tall and strongB. insure good healthC. keep the soul in the bodyD. prevent someone from saying evil things about the sneezer3. Gesundheit is a sneezing prayer most like _____.A. the Zulu prayerB. "God bless you"C. the Japanese prayerD. a warning4. The Zulus believe that sneezing is caused by _____.A. a good spiritB. a bad spiritC. illnessD. children5. It would be reasonable to conclude that _____.A. many people say prayers when they sneezeB. a prayer keeps the soul where it belongsC. all peoples were afraid of sneezesD. the moment of sneezing is very dangerousGiven words:[A ] for [B] question [C] colored [D] returning [E] officals [F] arrived [G] marriage [H] lived[I] allow [J] back2、Choose the best answer to each question。
