[专升本类试卷]河北专接本英语（阅读理解）模拟试卷30 Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street comer and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes' on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection(十字路口). The third may tell you that he seesa woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着). For perception is the mind's interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1 This passage is mainly about______.（A）how we see（B）learning about our minds through science（C）what psychologists perceive（D）interesting experiments2 Seeing and perceiving are______.（A）the same action（B）two actions carried on by the eyes（C）two separate actions（D）actions that take place at different times3 Perceiving is an action that takes place______. （A）in our eyes（B）only when we think every hard about something （C）under the directions of a psychologist（D）in every person's mind4 Perception involves what______.（A）cur senses tell us（B）our minds interpret（C）we see with our eyes only（D）in every person's mind5 Psychologists study perception by______.（A）setting up many experiments（B）asking each other what they see（C）looking out of windows（D）studying people's eyes5 When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.6 According to the passage, winners（A）deal with problems rather than blame others（B）meet with fewer difficulties in their lives.（C）have responsible and able coileagues（D）blame themselves rather that others7 The underlined word remedy in Paragraph I is closest in meaning to（A）avoid（B）accept（C）improve（D）consider8 When your colleague brings about a problem, you should （A）find a better way to handle the problem（B）blame him for his lack of responsibility（C）tell him to find the cause of the problem（D）ask a more able colleague for help9 When problems occur, winners take them as（A）excuses for their failures（B）barriers to greater power（C）challenges to their colleagues（D）chances for self-development10 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? （A）A Winner's Secret.（B）A Winner's Problem.（C）A Winner's Opportunity.（D）A Winner's Achievement.10 In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it ". The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.11 According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because______.（A）native speakers will ignore their mistakes（B）everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language （C）communication is the primary goal of language learning（D）native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language12 According to the passage, the present tense in English is______.（A）not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate future（B）used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention（C）basically the same in English as it is in Spanish（D）not the most difficult problem for foreign students13 The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by______.（A）asking native speakers for explanations（B）reading good books in the foreign language（C）comparing their speech with that of native speakers（D）speaking without regard to native speakers14 The passage implies that foreign language students who do not interact with native speakers will NOT______.（A）learn very much about the foreign culture（B）learn about the history of the foreign language（C）have to worry about making mistakes（D）take advantage of available language models15 The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that______.（A）mistakes are not important in the process of learning a language（B）making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language（C）learners are often very afraid of making mistakes（D）mistakes do not interfere with communication15 The making of glass is a very old industry - at least 4,500 years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequency being used in new ways.One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibers as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reached the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted into sound messages.Called light-wave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment, two glass fibers were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The light-wave cable, containing 144 glass fibers, has the capacity to carry 50,000 conversations at the same time.The light-wave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fiber cables are smaller and weigh less than copper cables. Second, they cost less.Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light.16 One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry______.（A）light signals（B）sound signals（C）electrical signals（D）any signals17 Before you can hear a message on the telephone using the new system,____. （A）electrical signals must first be changed into light signals and then into sound （B）light must first be changed into electrical signals and then into sound（C）the light signals have to be turned directly into sound messages（D）electrical signals have to be changed directly into sound messages18 According to the passage the new telephone communication system........___.（A）had been repeatedly experimented on before 1977（B）was first put into actual use in 1977（C）had been used within very limited scope before 1977（D）was put on experiment in 197719 From the passage, you can tell that people prefer glass fiber cables to copper cables because______.（A）glass fibers are less expensive（B）glass fibers are easier to make（C）glass fibers deliver messages directly（D）glass fibers are more up to date20 Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?（A）Glass is very useful because it has many unusual qualities.（B）Light signals have changed the use of glass in industry.（C）The use of glass fibers to carry telephone messages is an interesting new development.（D）Glass fibers have reduced the cost of telephone communication.20 It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higherand higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money—stability to value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延期的) payments.Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21 Inflation is a situation in which______.（A）employment no longer becomes a problem（B）people are better paid（C）we find our money worth more（D）money keeps losing its value22 According to the author, inflation______ .（A）is very common at the present time（B）can be avoided if people save money（C）is just reasonable（D）seldom happens23 According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together______.（A）inflation will pose no problem（B）inflation will remain to be a problem（C）the business will prosper（D）money will hold its value24 When money loses its value______.（A）it is no longer stable（B）goods will lose their value（C）incomes will keep rising（D）people refuse to accept it25 In a period of inflation, people are likely to______. （A）keep money in the bank（B）invest heavily in the stock market（C）stop spending money（D）spend money and not bother to save。
