2012级本科《大学英语二》答案试题1Passage 2 P189Are you planning a vacation?？If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to phoenix, Arizona. For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or if you’re a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska. Its winters are very cold with little precipitation (冰雹). Each of these cities has a certain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be?Many things in nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, winds affect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents. Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keep the polar regions from getting overly cold.Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth’s climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs (恐龙时代). They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic eruptions (火山的爆发)，for instance, release solid particles intothe air. These particles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun’s heat. Human activity is another cause of climate change. Air pollution and reduction of forest cover may have long-term effects on climate.6. This passage is concerned with things that affect ______B_______.A. ideaB. climateC. altitudeD. sunspots7. Change in climate may have caused _____A_______.A. dinosaurs to dieB. dark spots to form on the sunC. volcanic eruptionD. air pollution8.

She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do . “Could he help in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “Is it a kind of a detective job?” I answered yes, and he then began his work. .He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “Time for rest!” He argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.The next morning, he arrived early. “I want to finish these books.” he s aid. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to the lost books?” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say good-bye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.11. Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates?（C）A.Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.B.Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.C.Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.D.Because the library needed a new worker.12.

How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area? （C）A. SadB. PleasantC. WorriedD. InterestedPassage 4How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he isfed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.16. People can experience happiness if they _B__.A.always think of the past and regret itB.value the presentC.are no longer youngD.become old and have much experience17. When people were young, they used to _B _.A.be in charge of many businessesB.have few things to think about and take onC.look after their younger sisters and brothersD.face a lot of difficulties18. The pains of children lie in the fact that _D__.A.no one helps them make right decisionsB.they are often beaten by their parentsC.they can not be accepted and praised by othersD.they are not allowed to do what they like to do19. Children are usually happy because _D__.A.old people lose interest in themB.they are free to do wrongC.they are familiar with everything going on around themD.things are new to them20.

Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak thelanguage of human beings.The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds."Why are you sad?" asked the ant."I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.""That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds."I know," the girl cried, "and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!""Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girlgo.Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.(1)、The ant was playing when it ran here and there.所选答案：错问题12得2 分，满分2 分(2)、The drop of water fell on the ant when it was nearly dying.所选答案：对问题13得2 分，满分2 分(3)、The young girl was crying because she wanted to have supper.所选答案：错问题14得2 分，满分2 分(4)、The giant would eat the girl if she failed to do the work.所选答案：对问题15得0 分，满分2 分(5)、The ant's friends saved the girl's life.所选答案：错问题16得2 分，满分2 分Passage 2、The mass media influences all aspects of our lives, including the learning of gender roles. Newspapers and magazines, television, and film all have an influenceon how we view the roles of women and men and on how we think they shouldbehave.Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learn the basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this.However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking andmotherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and pleasehusbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that showwomen in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfullyabout their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap towash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about theway they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it isstill quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressedin sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changesare mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portraywomen doing household chores.Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passivegirlfriends of powerf ul, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different.Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to supportthemselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there.Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that theyshould be sexy as well.6. The best title for this passage is _________________.所选答案： A. Gender Roles in the Media问题17得0 分，满分2 分7. What makes Ms. different from other women’s magazines?所选答案： A.

Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with interms of the media’s attitude towards women?所选答案：A. The mass media always presents to us a variety of womenimages as they are in daily life.问题21得2 分，满分2 分Passage 3Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents.Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requiresworkers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenevernecessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smallerfamilies can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family mayremain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number offamilies may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may alsoraise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.11、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.所选答案：对问题22得2 分，满分2 分12、Families of the past, the present and the future are described in the passage.所选答案：对问题23得2 分，满分2 分13、People no longer want to have children.所选答案：错问题24得2 分，满分2 分14、Grandparents will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future.所选答案：错问题25得2 分，满分2 分15、Large families cannot fit in with a highly industrialized society.所选答案：对问题26得2 分，满分2 分Passage 4、When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in afurnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a newsystem that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed,tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them?People who are international business or government officials, foreign students,airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may forcethem to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and thecost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when theyreach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheapfurniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enoughmoney to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent betterquality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying newthings. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting homefurnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.16.

When asked this question, most people would say no. They don’t think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that oneof their neighbors is happier than anyone of them , "Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his. "Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier -a relative , a close friend or, often , someone we even hardly know. lance met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters , and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet , he is grateful for its existence. He told me , because he could look up informationon diabetes(糖尿病)一the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this , I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of peoples lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life thanothers , yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me , "Whenever I enter a room , all I see is hair."It is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect. " As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy. Questions 31-35:31. According to the author, most people would _________they are the happiest in the worldA. doubt whetherB. like to think thatC. think about whetherD. not think that32. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with _________.A. a close friendB. a relativeC. anyone they think is happierD. someone we even hardly know33. What is NOT true about the young man the author once met with?A. He is a TV talk show host.B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.C. He loves his wife and their daughters.D. He is very happy with his work and his life.34. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes _________.A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed inthe latter' s lifeB. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the InternetC. how terribly the young man's wife suffer from the disease -diabetesD. that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet35. The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that_________.A. it is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect"B. unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest faultC. we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happyD. true happiness lies in struggling to he happy短文理解3并根据短文内容判断其后的旬子是否正确(T)、错误(刊，还字中没有涉及相关信息(NG)。

Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their won shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.42. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. T o know when to bring them inside.B. T o keep them from eating bad food.C. T o help them find shelters.D. T o keep them company.43. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild44. What is the purpose of this text?A. T o solve a problem.B. T o give practical advice.C. T o tell an interesting story.D. T o present a research result.(B)Y ou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. Y ou do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yo urself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” Y ou must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough t o catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. Y o u may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. Y ou must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.46. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.47. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. T ack the boat.48. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Y et it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, manypeople in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Y et many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions(D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia –One of the world’s most famou s fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said T uesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science inHouston, T exas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September .“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bar tsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New Y ork, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of herdiscovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 312-foot-tall ape-man (猿人). 53. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A. introduce a few U.S. museumsB. describe some research workC. discuss the value of an ape-manD. report a coming event54. What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A painting of the skeleton.B. A photograph of LucyC. A copy of the skeleton.D. A written record of Lucy.55.

(E)Make Up Y our Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter .” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, S tanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A. doesn’t want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers59. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. T alent comes with one’s birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60. What should parents do for their children based on Dwec k’s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions.Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage OneBike trailers are now becoming a popular mode of transportation. If you are wondering what a bike trailer is, it is a motorless wheeled frame attached to your bicycle. Its primary function is to help the bike rider in carrying additional load．Instead of carrying the load on the bike, it can now be carried on the bike trailer which greatly reduces the strain placed on the bike. It is convenient, easy to use and it helps you live an active lifestyle.Bike trailers are an alternative to carrying different sorts of loads. Instead of using your car to go to the nearby grocery store perhaps, why not use your bike trailer? It not only saves you money from the gas which should have been spent by your car, it also does the job of carrying your groceries.Planning to get a bike trailer? Make sure to decide on what you are going to use it for first. Different bike trailers are made for different uses. There are a variety of bike trailers being commercially manufactured．The general trailers available in the market today are the general cargo trailer which is used to carry different sorts of loads from groceries to furniture, child passenger trailer which is used to carry a child, pet trailer which is used to carry cats or dogs, and canoe trailers which are used to carry long and narrow loads like canoes and surfboards.If you want a trailer to carry cargo all around, then a cargo trailer would definitely suit your needs. If you want to take your child along with you while you ride your bike, then check out the different child trailers available in the market.There are two types of bike trailers in the market today based on the number of wheels. The first is the single wheel trailer which can carry light to medium loads. It is popular among hikers since it is great for trail riding and narrow surfaces. It is also stable when making sharp turns at high speeds. The other type of trailer is the two-wheel trailer which obviously has two wheels. It can carry heavier loads than the single wheel type. When making sharp turns at high speeds it may roll over, so be sure to slow down before making the turns.Caring for your bike trailer is easy and comparable to that of a bike. Cleaning the trailer requires water, soap and wax. Regularly check the tires for abnormalities like low air pressure or wear and tear for this may cause accidents.When you are out riding in your bike trailer, keep in mind that it is different from riding a bike. The responses are different. You may notice that your bike may be a bit unresponsive due to the extra load．Be sure to take trial runs in non-busy roads to get you acquainted with the newriding conditions.Riding at night is more dangerous than riding during the daytime. Make sure that you have a front light and a rear light and that both are switched on. Be sure also to have front, back and side reflectors so that you would always be visible to traffic．41. The passage mentions all the following aspects about a bike trailer EXCEPT ______.A．its maintenance B．its priceC．its definition D．its uses42. Which of the following is an advantage of a bike trailer over a car?A．It can help reduce the weight on your riding.B．You don’t have to check the tires regularly.C．You don’t have to spend money on gas.D．It can carry groceries for you.43. A two-wheel trailer should be a better choice than a single wheel trailer when ______.A．you carry heavy loadsB．you ride on a narrow surfaceC．your additional load is not heavyD．you make a sharp turn at high speed44. Which of the following is a difference between riding in a bike trailer and riding a bike?A．You need to check the tires regularly for a bike trailer.B．It is easier to ride in a trailer than riding a bike.C．A trailer requires water and wax for cleaning.D．A trailer cannot react as quickly as a bike.45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To provide information about bike trailers.B．To advertise for a new mode of transportation.C．To arouse your interest in more active lifestyle.D．To advise you to be careful when riding in a bike trailer.Passage 2Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother over in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months, he had grown to hate them.Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they enjoyed game-playing, and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough—but then there was all the moaning afterwards. “The usual people say the usual things.” “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.” “I was thinking of making a suggestion—but I couldn’t be bothered.”As this morning’s meeting began, Martin braced himself for the usual moroseness (闷闷不乐) and monotony. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London—he had had to sit over the wing and the noise was terrible. But, as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.He realized—to his amazement—that he could hear what his colleagues were thinking as well as what they were saying. As he concentrated still harder, he found that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be unpopular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions, based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying …?” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” He was aware that his colleagues were unsettled by how insightful these interventions were. They looked at him mystified．In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly-acquired talent.Given more confidence now, Martin forgot his usual misery at participating in such meetings and began making comments of his own. However, he became aware that some of his colleagues were looking at him totally confused．One or two even had a gentle smile playing on their lips. Only gradually did it dawn on them—he could hear their thoughts and they were not really saying what they were thinking.As the meeting progressed, Martin became aware of changes to the tone and style of the event. It was clear to him now that, one by one, each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of all the others and this was subtly changing how they interacted with one another. The game-playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.The meeting ended．As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.”“All meetings should be like that.” “In future, I’m going to say what I think.”46. Why did Martin hate the team meetings?A．His colleagues were making stories.B．His colleagues complained too much.C．His colleagues pretended to be friendly.D．His colleagues held back their true feelings.47. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “braced himself for” in Paragraph 3 ?A．prepared himself for B．adapted himself toC．concemed himself about D．persuaded himself into48. With the strange power of being able to hear what others were thinking and saying, Martinrealized that______.A．he had been cheatedB．he was lucky to know the truthC．people didn’t mean what they saidD．people were unwilling to work there49. Which of the following can be expected at future team meetings?A．Everyone will be cooperative. B．Everyone will be straightforward．C．Everyone will be respectful. D．Everyone will be considerate.50.

第2次作业一、阅读理解（本大题共100分，共5小题，每小题20分） 1.Prehistoric men and women enjoyed a more varied diet than people do now, since they ate species of plant and several hundreds thousands types of living things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever domesticated. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The food of the rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is speedily distributed in supermarkets. But the choice annually becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves become more standardized. We live in theworld of carrot specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of weighting tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis asks: "Only the three major cereals (谷物类食物)and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species stand between famine and survival for the world" s human population and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: Are we missing something?” After all, there are 800 000 species of plant on earth.(1). Tn prehistoric times people.A.ate much more than we do todayB.lived mainly on plant foodC.had a wide-ranging dietD.were more fussy about what they ate(2).Most of us have come to expectA.no variation in our dietB. a reduction in food suppliesC. a specialist dietD.food conforming to a set standard(3). The specialization of food was started byA .B . the emergence of supermarkets the rise of agriculture the rich countries the modern shops （4）.According to the passage, people in the West today survive on.A.carrots and tomatoesB.several thousand types of plants and cerealsc.a very small number of cultivated foodsD. special species planted one thousand years ago（5）. The conclusion seems to be that we.A.could make use of more natural speciesB.don't cultivate the right kind of foodc.produce more food than we needD.cultivate too many different species2.human body is distributed （分布）in two different ways. Some fat people have a large chest and no waistline（腰身），looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking more like pears.Doctors in Cambridge, England have been examining the relationship between health and fat （脂肪）distribution. They find that the pear- shaped fat people have fewer problems than the apple-shaped fat people. What seems to be most important is not how much fat you have but where you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped women and peai，--shaped women with X-ray scanners （X 光扫描器）.Human beingshave two types of fat:one is outside fat, that is the fat below the skin, and the other is inside fat that lies inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the “apples” have a large amoun t of inside fat.Tf this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it wi11 probably cause heal th problems such as obesi ty (月巴月半症). The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment (饮食疗法)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.(1).According to the relation between heal th and fatnessA.apple-shaped fat people have fewer problems than pear-shaped peopleB.it' s better to be apple-shaped than to be pear-shapedc.it' s better to be pear-shaped than to be apple-shapedD. fatness is the most dangerous enemy to health(2). The most important thing about fat people seems to beA.the amount of fat they haveB.the knowledge of which typo of the fat people they belong toC.the amount of the outside fat they haveD.the place where they have the fat(3).The basic reason why some people suffer from obesity is that •A.they take very little exercise every dayB.they have much more inside fat than is neededc.they are examined by X-ray scanners quite oftenD.they eat too much(4).According to what is mentioned in the passage, the best treatment for obesity at present is .A.to reduce the amount of food and drinksB.to make the body shape smallerC.already known to those people in troubleD.still to be found.3.University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food."Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and thendon't real ize that waste of edible （可食用的）foods adds up much moreat homo," said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who metin Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a costof $4. 5 billion per year. That" s almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.Ilis theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if you" re trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, that's bound to be some waste.Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper income families. And the study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart, is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items arc more likely to be wasted.The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least. Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.(1).Large quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker.A.thinks they are not deliciousB.says they taste bitter and hotC.thinks they smell badD.suspects they are spoiled when they are not(2).American families throw out between of edible food every year.A.5%〜8%B.8%-10%B.20%〜28%D.8%—20%(3).When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar.A.went downB.went upc.stayed the sameD. was cut in half(4).Which of the following statements is true?A.American housewives are not good homemakers.B.Upper-income families are more wasteful than lower-income ones.c.American families throw away almost as much food as they consume.D.Americans waste a great deal of dog food.（5）.When do American families waste more food?A.When prices arc high.B.When food is scarce.c.When they think it is spoiled.D. Al 1 of the above.4.Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor （接任者）to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvards Radcliffe Institutefor Advanced Study, as the university' s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard. ” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. "Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated （献身的）teacher, and a wonderful human being."Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers' comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women" s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues（性另ij问题）.Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, 1aw, literature and economics.Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.“Teaching staff turned to her constantly. ” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. "She' s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she' s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she' s so solid."(1).Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?A.She is the 28th president of Harvard University.B.She is a famous scholar from the American South.c.She isn' t a graduate from Harvard University.D.She was head of Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.(2).Lawrence Summers held the view that .A.women cannot achieve as much as men in management B.women cannot hold important positions in society c.women can match men in science jobsD.few women make top scientists owing to genes (3).Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Harvard named its 1st female president.B.History of Harvard University changed.c.Debates on female equality ended.D.Drew GiIpin Faust, a famous woman historian.（4）.This passage probably appears in a .A.biographyB.personal letterc.research paperD.newspaper report5.Jessica Alba rebelled（叛离）from her "strict" parents when she was just five. The 29-year-old actress admits her Catholic （天主教）education made her want to "break away" from her mother Catherine and father Mark.She explained: 〃It‘s always been weird（古怪的）because I grew up in a very traditional, Catholic household. Nly parents were very strict but 1 broke away from that at an early age. 1 was a feminist （女权主义者）when 1 was five. These days, 1 am much more independent but 1 still respect their beliefs.，zAs Jessica has grown older she has learnt to accept her parents' views, but still considers herself an independent woman.Tn her latest film 'Machete' Jessica gets to stab（刺）a love rival in the eye with her stiletto heels （鞋后世艮），something she thoroughlyenjoyed.She said: "Walking in 3in heels wasn't as much fun as putting one in someone's eye. It was 104 degrees where we were shooting in Texas and they were not comfortable.Jessica - who has a two-year-old daughter Honor with husband Cash Warren - is regularly referred to as one of the world，s most beautiful women, but she docsn't think of herself as 〃sexy〃.She added in an interview with the Metro newspaper: 〃1 don't really pay attention to that sexy image. It just goes with the character in the movie. At the end of the day, it's all a part of selling a product. 〃(1).Jessica Alba called herself feminist because .A.she didn' t like living with her parentsB.she was brought up in a very poor familyc.she was often against her parentsD.she refused the training and education during her childhood by her parents(2).From this passage we know that .A.Jessica is a very cruel woman who enjoys hurting others B.Jessica acted strangely in her chi 1drenc.Jessica" s parents believe in CatholicD.Jessica rebelled her family because she hated Catholic (3).This passage is mainly about .A.a rebellious movie star JessicaB.a weird womanc.an interview with a newspaperD.a rebellious heart(4).Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A.Although she is a rebellious woman, she still respects her parents beliefsB.She likes her characters in the moviec.She cares more about her sexy image because she is very proud of her beautyD.She got married and has a daughter.答案：一、阅读理解（100分，共5题，每小题20分）(1).

Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn‘t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge; yet fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don‘t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don‘t know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Y et I plan to look for a part time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest does make me happy. I will still stay on in college, but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.26.From this passage, we know that the author ____________.A. does not think education is the most important thing in her life any moreB. thinks that communication with other people is more important than educationC. realizes that it is more important to really develop oneself than just to store knowledgeD. comes to learn how important it is to make a public speech27.

China has large desert areas and much of its agricultural land is being threatened by desertification, which is getting worse, in addition, soil erosion has led to a huge loss of farmland and the drying up of rivers. Consequently, the livelihoods of 35 million people are being threatened. Furthermore it is even affecting cities. The nearest sand dune is less than 100 miles from Beijing, where unpleasant sandstorms are becoming more frequent. The worse the situation, the more pressure there is on the government to take action.The reasons for the changes are complex. It is clear that pollution of the air and water by factories is affecting the environment. Trees and other vegetation die, mad so soil is eroded. The more trees that die, the less water is held in the earth. The need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to further deforestation, which causes further soil erosion, local farmers find it more andmore difficult to make a living. They end up using inefficient farming methods, which again leads to soil erosion.The Government is carrying out anti-desertification projects, including the creation of a forest hell around deserts. The tree planting campaign, known as the Great Green Wall, is meant to protect Beijing from sandstorms. China hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050.Questions l--- 5.1. Britain isA. one eighth of the size of the Gobi DesertB. 20% of the size o! ChinaC. as big as the Gobi desertD. bigger than Gobi desert2. The total desert area of China is ______A. decreasingB. remaining constantC. not mentioned in the textD. increasing3. The trees die becauseA. the soil is poorB. the sir and water is pollutedC. they get diseasesD. they are not well planted by people4. The Chinese government is planting trees aroundA. the desertsB. ChinaC. BeijingD. the north of China5. The expansion of desert landA. will definitely be controlled by 2010B. won't he controlled by 2010C. should be controlled by 2010D. must be controlled by 2010短文理解 2Recently, a rather sophisticated(老练的) woman told me shyly that she saves up all her presents until Christmas morning and then sits up in bed and opens them, just like a child. She though! I would laugh at her and say how silly she was. But in fact I was absolutely delighted to meet someone who treats Christmas as I do.Many people today have a very different attitude to Christmas- They think it's just a timewhen shopkeepers make a lot of money and everyone rushes round buying presents they don't want to give and food they don't want to eat. But have they grown so far away from their own childhood that they can't remember all the good things.First of all, Christmas takes you out of the ordinary dull routine of life. For children, the fun begins weeks before when the decorations are put up, and excitement gradually increased as December the 25 approaches.Everyone seems much friendlier to each other than usual at Christmas time.Y ou can lean(倚靠) on a car window when you're stopped at the traffic lights and say "Merry Christmas," and people will smile and respond. Y ou probably wouldn't think of doing that at any other lime of year. Perhaps it is because most people are on holiday or because everyone knows that they are sharing s similar experience. Giving presents can be very satisfying, too, if you plan far enough in advance and really think of tile right present for the right person.Indeed, whatever shopkeepers gain out of Christmas, it is still a "holy day," the words from which "holiday" is derived, and it gives people time to pause and concentrate for moment on non-commercial values.Questions 6--10.6.

Country music is an American popular-music style. In its current form, country music is a combination of two separate musical traditions: the styles of the Southeastern states and the music of the Southwest, especially Texas. Both styles influenced and were influenced by the blues and by black rural dance music.The first country artists to be widely known achieved popularity in the late 1920s. The music of these performers was heard throughout the south during the 1920s and ''30s on radio programs.By the 1950s, country music had become a significant force in pop music. Regular appearances on the radio show made stars of many performers. The singer-songwriter Hank Williams wrote four million-seller songs in 1950, seven in 1951, and four more in 1953.By the 1970s, some country musicians began combining country music with electric instruments, creating a country rock sound.(1). What does “Both styles” in Paragraph 1 refer to? (B )A. Country music style and the musical style of the Southeastern states.B.The musical styles of the Southwestern states and the Southeastern states.C.The Southwestern musical style and Texas musical style.D.The styles of blues and the black rural dance music(2). Country music was not really an important pop music until (D )A. 1920sB.1930sC.1940sD.1950s(3). Hank Williams ( B) in 1951A. wrote seven million songsB.sold seven million copies of his songsC.wrote seven songsD.sold seven million copies of his seven songs(4). Electric instruments add to country music a style of ( A)A. rock musicB.bluesC.black musicD.Southern music(5). What do you think can be a proper title of this passage? (CA. Hank Williams, A Great Singer and SongwriterB.The Influence of Blues and Black MusicC.A Brief Introduction to Country MusicD.Country Music Combined With Electric Instruments2. Advertising can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”. Advertising aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, itis clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.(1). Advertising is often used to (D )A. convince customersB.promote productionC.rise interestD.push the sales(2). According to the passage, trade fairs (Paragraph 1) may (C ) .A. replace exhibitions and markets supplyB.local goods and servicesC.attract possible customersD.provide cheap amusements(3). Advertising is in the main paid for by ( A) .A. the customerB.the producerC.the increased salesD.the decreased costs(4). The author says that advertising can increase demand ( C)A. in any period of salesB.in any circumstancesC.in a growing marketD.in a shrinking market(5). What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us is that (B ).A. businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have toB.businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profits C.advertising couldn’t convince people of the value of the goods advertising usually costsD.businessmen large amounts of money3. Long ago there was a little boy who wanted to be a soldier more than anything else in the world. His brothers and sisters played other games while he was playing soldier. Later he went to a military （军事的 ) school and studied very hard. When he was less than eighteen, he became a soldier. But the small man wanted power (t 权力 ). He wanted to tell people and nations and the whole world what to do. He kept on working and studying until he became a general in the French Army. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, and he finally became emperor of France. He was famous as an emperor and for a while he won all the wars and became a national hero. But he was not a kind man. He could be charming ( 迷人的 ) when he wanted to be. But he was also rude and very cruel, and many people died so that he could win his wars. Napoleon did one thing that was very important to the United States. He sold a huge piece of land in North America to the Untied States and got a lot of money and he could go on fighting a war with England. And Napoleon rose to great power. Then things began to go badly for him. In June of 1815 he lost the Battle of Waterloo ( 滑铁卢 ) to England and his days of power and greatness were suddenly over.And six years later he died on a far rocky island.(1). The little boy wanted to be a soldier, so(C )A. he didn't play with his brothersB.he read a lot of military booksC.he often played soldier aloneD.he joined the army when he was young(2). Napoleon studied hard in the military school, because ( D)A. he wants to be a generalB.he wants to get much moneyC.he hoped to win the Battle of WaterlooD.he hoped to dominate (统治) the world(3). The French regard Napoleon as a national hero because (A )A. he won all the wars for a whileB.he became an emperor of FranceC.he became a famous generalD.he was kind to the people(4). Napoleon sold the land to the United States in order to ( A)A. fight the war with EnglandB.make his family richerC.give some money to his peopleD.build a huge palace for himself(5). Napoleon died in(B )A. 1815B.1821C.1822D.18274. Hotlines have become common in Chin Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.That''s a good idea Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host ( 主持人 ) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express hope and show his ignorance ( 无知 }. Then the host has to answer and explain —— how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don''t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.I think that it''s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn''t know what is going on, the operator should not let the callers take part in it(1). The sentence "some people do nothing but break the whole programmes" may tell us that ( D)A. radio stations use hotlinesB.in a wrong way it is a factC.it is a good ideaD.some people have unclear thoughts(2). According to the passage, which of the following is not true? (D )A. Some people do not know what the host is talking about.B.Some people know little about the topic under discussion.C.Some people do not know what the show is about.D.The writer tells us that the host is silly.(3). The host has to answer and explain (B )A. for the host works hardB.because of the caller's ignoranceC.for the host likes talking to the callerD.because a lot of questions are raised by the caller(4). The passage doesn't tell us (D )A. that some listeners phone the hotline in funB.that some people just want to be heard by othersC.that some people who don't care what the topic is realize that they appear to be sillyD.what the hotlines programmes are(5). The word "operator" in the last sentence refers to the(A )A. hostB.listenerC.doctorD.both A and B。

Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets and better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace andquiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy t hat you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension(紧张) to society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车)from moving through he streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days” of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise – if we shout loudly enough about it.(1). Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.D. Because people knew little about the danger of noise before.(2). What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think?A.We may forget what we have thought about.B.Our thoughts may be interfered.C.Our mind may be harmed.D. WE may have difficulty using the right words.(3). When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that ( ).?A.our society is becoming much worse than beforeB.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet lifeC.the old days were much happier than the present timeD. it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before(4). From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that ( ).A.we can put noise under control if our measures are effectiveB.sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear usC.shouting is a chief cause of noise pollutionD. it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution(5). Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA.Only recently did people realize the harmfulness of noise.B.Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.C.People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.D. The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoidnoise.2.Think of what things would be like without cars. Our lives would be the same. We would have to use bikes, horses, or our feet to get to places. And we couldn''t go as far as we are used to going. But we do have cars. With cars, people can come and go as they please. They can work far from home. Many people live in the country. But they work in the city. Most of them get there in cars. This means that there are a lot of cars on the road.Are there too many cars on the road? Some people think so. So they are asking that we take trains and buses. But not everyone can do this. Some people must take their cars. This is because no trains or buses go where they have to go. Maybe other people could go to work with them. Then there wouldn''t be so many cars on the road.What will our lives be like in times to come? Maybe we won''t need cars so much. Maybe more of us will work at home. Maybe trains and buses will go to more places. Then more people will be in them. This will mean more room on our streets and roads.It would be nice if people walk more. They might like to step along a street or road. They would not get far very fast. But they would have the time to look around them. Who knows? They might even feel better, too!(1). What's not the possible reason why there are a lot of cars on the road?A.Because everyone likes to drive his own car to do whatever he likes.B.Because the number of trains and buses is small.C.Because many people who live in the country go to work in cars in the city.D. Because it is more convenient for people to go to places in cars than other means.(2). According to the author, which of the following is not the reason why the number of cars willbe reduced in the future?A. More people will work at home.B.Trains and buses will go to more places.C.More people will take buses and trains.D. People won't need so many cars.(3). It can be inferred from the passage that __.A.the author thinks that people who are in the city should not live in the countryB.the author thinks that there should be more trains and buses which should go to more placesC.the author wishes that the number of cars would be reduced so that there will be more room on the streets and roadsD. the authors believe that more walk does good to health(4). What does the underlined word "please" here mean?A.to goB.to meanC.to planD. to love(5). What's the writer's opinion in this passage?A. We should use more carsB.We should use fewer cars.C.We should not use carsD. We should take good care of cars.3.They think they''re lucky that they''re living and it''s Christmas again. They can''t see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren''t much good. Johnny and the children can''t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we''ve saved isn''t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn''t eat any more, she shrew the rest down the sewer(阴沟). Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn''t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they''re ashamed(羞愧)of their lives. I''d like to see thechildren be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.(1). The writer suggests that her family ( )A.is extremely richB.is an unhappy oneC.are accustomed to their lifeD. long for a change in their life(2). The McGarity girl is characterized as ( )A.selfish and cruelB.friendly and kindC.beautiful and proudD. rich and nice(3). The writer thinks Miss Jackson is ( )A.poor but braveB.friendly and talkativeC.a teacher liked by all her pupilsD. an example her children should follow(4). Which of the following is TRUE?A.The writer's family is the poorest one on that street.B.Watching the rich girl eating cookies, those hungry children cried.C.The writer wants to move out of that district.D. The writer hopes that her children will become teachers.4. Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people''s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb,whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performance with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or dong this or not. If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can''t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.(1). According to the passage, the best way for children to learn thingsis by ( )A.listening to skilled people's adviceB.asking older people many questionsC.making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do(2). Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A.Give children correct answers.B.Allow children to make mistakes.C.Point out children's mistakes to them.D. Let children mark their own work.(3). According to the writer, teachers in school should ( )A.allow children to learn form each otherpoint out children'sB. mistakes whenever foundcorrect children'sC. mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge(4). The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ridea bicycle are ( )A.different from learning other skillsB.the same as learning skillsC.more important than other skillsD. not really important skills(5). The title of this passage could probably be ( )A.Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB.Let Us Make Children LearnC.Let Children Correct Their ExerciseD.

Anothe r factor i s altitu de, or height abovesea level. Air coolsas altitu de increa ses. So a city at a higher altitu de may be colder than one at a loweraltitu de. Finall y, windsaffect climat e. They move heat and moistu re betwee n the oceans and contin ents. Windskeep the tropic s from overhe ating. They keep the polarregion s from getting overly cold.Climat e change s over long period s of time. Some scient i ststhink, for exampl e, that the earth ’s climat e change d at the time of the dinosa urs (恐龙时代). They thinkthe dinosa urs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possib le causemay be change s in the sun. Sunspo ts, for exampl e, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspo ts may decrea se precipitati on on the earthand causeunusually dry period s. Change s in the atmosp heremay change climat e too. Volcan ic erupti ons (火山的爆发)，for instan ce, release solidparticl es into the air. Theseparticl es may form a cloudthat blocks out the sun’s heat. Humanactivi t y is anothe r causeof climat e change. Air polluti on and reducti on of forest cover may have long-term effect s on climat e.6.

She had a stude n t who finish ed his work before all the others and needed someth i ng more diffic ul t for him to do . “Couldhe help in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sortin g books. He picked up the idea immedi ately. Then I showed him some cards for some unretu rnedbooksthat I though t had been return ed but not record ed. Maybe some bookswere put on wrongplaces. He said, “Is it a kind of a detecti ve job?” I answered yes, and he then beganhis work. .He had foundthreebooks with wrong cardsby the time his teache r opened the door and said, “Time for rest!” He argued for finishi ng the findin g job, but the teache r won.The next mornin g, he arrived early. “I want to finish these books.” he said. At the end of the day, when he askedto work with me more often, i t was easy for me to say yes.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviti ng me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasa nt evenin g, his mother declared that the family wouldbe moving to the lost books ?” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say good-bye.

Intere stedPassag e 4How oftenone hears children wishin g they were grownup, and old people wi shin g they were youngagain. Each age has its pleasu res and its pains, and the happie st person is the one who enjoys what each age giveshi m withou t wastin g his time in useless regret s.Y outhi s a time when thereare few tasksto make life diffic ult. If a childhas good parent s, heis fed, looked after and lovedwhatev er he may do. It is impossi blethat he will ever againi n his life be givenso much withou t having to do anythi ng in return. In additi on, life is always presentingnew things to the child—things that have lost theiri ntere st for older people because they are too well-known. But a childhas his pains:he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is contin ually beingtold not to do things, or beingpunish ed for what he has done wrong.When the youngman starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothe s, and his room, but has to work if he wantsto live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playin g about i n the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of societ y as he used to breakthe laws of his parent s, he may go to prison. If, however, he workshard, keepsout of troubl e and has good health, he can have the great happin e ss of buildi ng up for himsel f his own positi on in society.16.

Passage 1If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousandsof kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lotof places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It willnot rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.1、The passage mainly tells us about the importance of taking care of plants.所选答案： A.

T问题16 得 2 分，满分 2 分Passage 2Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely importantway to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States,England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hun-dreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young ani-mals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment. (208 words)6. What's the meaning for the word "parchment"?所选答案： B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.问题17 得 2 分，满分 2 分7 Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper?所选答案： A.

Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year?所选答案： B.Sweden.问题20 得 2 分，满分 2 分10. What is the main idea of this short talk?所选答案： C.The invention of paper is of great significance to man.问题21 得 2 分，满分 2 分Passage 3What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely togrow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the childis more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "Y ou are such a smart child."11、The word "intelligent" in the 1st paragraph probably mean bright.所选答案： A.
