6-10 CBDDD 11-15 DBDACPassage 1The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)法国大革命于1789年爆发。

统考《大学英语B》阅读理解专项练习阅读理解（一）Passage 1We are busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” in the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.1. The Internet has a history of more than forty yearsA：T B：F2. A new network system was set up to make computers cheaper.A：T B：F3. At first the Internet was only used by the government.A：T B：F4. Software made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.A：T B：F5. Today it’s still not easy to get on-lineA：T B：FPassage 2Mr. Young ran his own business and worked very hard. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to get him to take a vacation. At last she managed to persuade him to do so, and she hoped that he would be able to enjoy his vacation without any disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband’s secretary. She said to her, “My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens, please don’t bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back.”After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, Mr. Young received a letter from his secretary which said, “Something terrible happened to your business, but I’m not going to bother you with it while you are enjoying your vacation.”1. Mr. Young was the owner of a private business.A：T B：F2. Mrs. Young worried about her husband’s business.A：T B：F3. Mrs. Young was afraid that her husband’s vacation might be spoilt.A：T B：F4. The secretary didn’t explain in her letter what had happened to Mr.Young’s business, because she didn’t want to spoil Mr. Young’s vacation.A：T B：F5. You can learn from the story that Mr. Young had a stupid secretary.A：T B：FPassage 3Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the languages do not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divided them differently. Th e languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3% of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.1. The early language had many words and easy grammar.A. TB. F2. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to change a great deal.A. TB. F3. This article shows that language changes with changes in society.A. TB. F4. From this article we can know that language will become easier and easier.A. TB. F5. The first English and Spanish people arrived in America more than 400-500 years ago.A. TB. FPassage 4People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread yourtowels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you,Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.1. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.A：T B：F2. They love houses more than gardens.A：T B：F3. You want to tell others the space belongs to you.A：T B：F4. He placed his briefcase on the table.A：T B：F5. The writer tried to get back his space by taking all his papers out.A：T B：FPassage 5Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world’s greatest wonders.“In my opinion,” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids（埃及金字塔）are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?”The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed. “But that’s a simple thing.”“Oh, no, it’s not, “the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it’s winter or summer?”1. The underlined word “thermos” in Chinese means “保温瓶”.A：T B：F2. That the three men could not agree on what the world’s greatest wonder was because they all had different ideas.A：T B：F3. The first man thought the pyramids were the most wonderful things in the world because they had been built with very simple tools.A：T B：F4. The third man thought a thermos was the most wonderful thing in the world because it cost less than a computer.A：T B：F5. The third man was not very clever because he could not think of anything to say.A：T B：FPassage6The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage (孤儿院) knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else－to be independent. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.1. Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage, she had lived in the streets for many years.A：T B：F2. The sentence “orphanage girls could be something” means that orphanage girls could be popular and successful.A：T B：F3. Her life changed in 1985.A：T B：F4. This passage is probably taken from a novel.A：T B：F5. Mary’s boyfriend was good at English.A：T B：FPassage 7Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs, the English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It make both of them laugh.1. It is very helpful if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.A. TB. F2. English people usually shake hands when they meet every time.A. TB. F3. Usually English people don’t shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye.A. TB. F4. English people like shaking hands very much.A. TB. F5. This story is about languages and customs.A. TB. FPassage 8Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van.A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded.A van hold seven persons easily, so a family of three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.Mr. Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van, and the sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are brought into the room and the two seats can then carry the grandparents.Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family is traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.1. From the passage, a van is also called a motor home.A. TB. F2. Before Mr. Hagen and his wife bought a van, they sold their old house.A. TB. F3. A motor home is usually owned by a family with more than two children.A. TB. F4. Americans usually use motor homes to drive their children to school every day.A. TB. F5. Motor homes have become popular because they can let families have a happier life when they go out for their holidays.A. TB. FPassage 9Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbor, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbor came running out.“Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson,” the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.The foolish thief did not know how the neighbor found out he was stealing the bell. “Why did he come out just then?” he wondered.1. The thief was trying to get a door with a bell on it.A. TB. F2. The thief put some cotton in his ears. He thought it would be safe for him to steal the doorbell.A. TB. F3. The neighbor ran out just because he knew his doorbell was being stolen.A. TB. F4. The neighbor hit the thief to punish him for stealing.A. TB. F5. The thief thought the neighbor couldn’t hear the noise the bell made.A. TB. FPassage 10Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people save much time, and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. Y et many of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing Karaoke, instead of studying. So manyteachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked by parents in the boxes.In some other countries, even some scientists hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves.1. The computer is a useful machine because it can help us a lot.A. TB. F2. Many teachers and parents complain that computers make the students and children fall behind.A. TB. F3. In this passage we know computers bring us happiness only.A. TB. F4. M any of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing Karaoke.A. TB. F5. The last sentence of this passage means computers are strange machines.A. TB. F阅读理解（二）Passage 1One day a man and his daughter were going out for a walk. The man had put on a pair of odd (奇怪的) shoes, one with a thick sole（鞋跟）and one with a thin sole. As he came out to the street, he felt very uncomfortable. Turning to his daughter, he said: “Why should one of my legs be longer than the other one?” The daughter looked at her father’s legs and said, “Y ou have put on two odd shoes!” When he heard this, the man was very happy and thought to himself: “What a bright daughter I have got!”Then he asked his daughter to go back to the house and got him another pair of shoes. When the daughter went back to the house, all she could find was one shoe with thick sole and one with thin sole. Taking the shoes to her father, she said, “It’s no use changing. These shoes are also odd, one with a thick sole and one with a thin sole.” The man listened and thought to himself: “It can’t help. I might as well wear the ones I have on now.” so they went on for their walk.1. The man thought that his daughter was ________.A. beautifulB. cleverC. lazyD. clean2.

Either of them was clever.Passage 2How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their combinations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.1. The origin of language ________.A. is reflected in sounds and lettersB. is handed down from generation to generationC. dates back to the prehistoric periodD. is a problem not yet solved2. According to the passage, words are _________.A. visual lettersB. represented by soundsC. represented either by sounds or lettersD. signs called letters3. The power of words lies in their _________.A. beautyB. accuracyC. combinationsD. charm4. The secret of a writer’s success is the use of words that _________.A. recall to us the glad and sad events of our pastB. are arranged in a creative wayC. are as beautiful as musicD. agree with certain literary style5. The author of the passage advises us _________.A. to use words carefully and accuratelyB. not to use silly and rude wordsC. to become a slave of wordsD. to use emotional wordsPassage 3Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait — in each case, that is more than eight glasses.There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.1. According to the passage, experts advise people to _______.A. drink eight glasses of water a dayB. drink as much water as they feel like drinkingC. drink a glass of water after each mealD. drink no less than eight glasses of water a day2. Most healthy people meet their daily needs for water by drinking _______.A. when they are tiredB. when they are sweatingC. when they are thirstyD. when they are hungry3. The Institute of Medicine usually ________.A. changes some traditional ideasB. announces some medical advancesC. provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the publicD. provides scientific and technical advice to the National Academies4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. People’s daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.B. The report does tell people how many glasses of water to drink a day.C. The experts say it may be possible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines.D. People can’t get water when they drink fruit juices and sodas and milk.5. People need to drink more water ________.A. when they are physically activeB. when they live in hot climatesC. when they are running long distanceD. all of the abovePassage 4Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem. One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da V inci（达•芬奇）. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly. But they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large”hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it？The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they travelled about eight kilometres.1. Leonardo da V inci ________.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of birdsD. made designs for flying machine2. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman ________.A. made a kind of flying machineB. tried to fly with wings made of chicken featherC. wanted to build a kind of balloonD. tried to fly on a large bird3. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly ________.A. lost his lifeB. flew only 8minutesC. got badly woundedD. succeeded in flying4. The very first air passengers in the balloon were ________.A. the King and the QueenB. two FrenchmenC. two animalsD. the Montgolfiers5. When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris？A. In December 1783.B. In September 1783.C. In November 1783.D. In the seventeenth century.Passage 5Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided (避免).We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.1. ________ are formed little by little.A. Good habitsB. Bad habitsC. Both good habits and bad habitsD. Either good habits or bad habits2. The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A. bad habitsB. good habitsC. childrenD. other persons3. Generally speaking, it’s difficult for one________ and easy for them _________ which should be avoided.A. to form bad habits; to form good habitsB. to form good habits; to form bad habitsC. to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habitsD. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits4. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C. Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.5. According to the passage, early rising ________.A. has something to do with successB. is an easily formed habitC. is such a habit as should have been avoidedD. is such a habit as will be kept。

Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, anychanges the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.(1)、What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A：The tools he uses.B：The way he uses his tools.C：His ways of learning.D：The various tools he uses.答案： B(2)、The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A：the importance of informationB：the importance of thinkingC：the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD：the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.答案： C(3)、A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A：works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB：does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC：can be used for many purposesD：leave no room for improvement答案： A(4)、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A：that measurements are keys to success in scienceB：that accuracy of mathematicsC：that investigations are important in scienceD：that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案： C(5)、What is the main idea of the passage? ________A：The theory of relativity.B：Exactness is the core of science.C：Scientists are different from ordinary people.D：Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案： D三、词汇与语法1、On average, a successful lawyer has to talk to several _______ a day.A：customersB：supportersC：guestsD：clients答案： D2、 Tom, what did you do with my documents?

英语B级考试阅读理解专项练习试题和答案解析
2011年上半年英语B及考试就要开考了，阅读理解在考试中占了很大的比重，为了帮助大家拿到阅读的高分，下面给大家整理了阅读理解专项练习题及答案解析，供大家参考。
When one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of our been a history of constant change—at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Our been a living growing organism, it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many. 『At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals or the kitchen pots and pans.』① At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon (old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived.And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order, there may be trouble for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or I. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. 『The eighteenth century, for example, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write.』②1.In contrast to the earlier linguists, modern linguists tend to .A. attempt to continue the standardization of the languageB. evaluate language practices in terms of current speech rather than standards or proper patternsC. be more concerned about language than its analysis or historyD. be more aware of the rules of the language usage2.Choose the appropriate meaning for the word “inflection” used in line 4 of paragraph 2.A. Changes in the forms of words.B. Changes in sentence structures.C. Changes in spelling rules.D. Words that have similar meanings.3.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?A. It is generally believed that the year 1500 can be set as the beginning of the modern English language.B. Some other languages had great influence on the English language at some stages of its development.C. The English language has been and still in a state of relatively constant change.D. Many classes or groups have contributed to the development of the English language.4. The author of these paragraphs is probably a(an) .A. historianB. philosopherC. anthropologistD. linguist5.Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?A.

第二部分阅读理解（1）（补充）Passage 1Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?""Certainly," said Mr. Turner. "One day I met a rhinoceros（犀牛）by a river…""Please wait a minute, sir," said the man. "There aren't any rhinoceros in Africa at all!""It's rare just because there aren't any!"怀特先生住在一个小村庄。
大学英语B 统考-2习题及答案
大学英语B 统考-2习题及答案一、阅读理解Play is the principal business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting, learning, and discovering his own particular ability: bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.By the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable; they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed — to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.（2.0 分）1. The writer wants us to understand that a child ______.A．has to be taught how to playB．likes a toyC．matures through playD．can grow up with toys得分：2（2.0 分）2. Toys have several functions EXCEPT ______.A．helping children to playB．urging children to playC．recommending ways for children to playD．asking children to play得分：2（2.0 分）3. The passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about ______.A．one year oldB．two years oldC．four years oldD．six years old得分：2（2.0 分）4. The passage is about ______.A．the importance of educationB．the importance of playC．the children’s speech developmentD．the relationship between play and study得分：2（2.0 分）5. Which of the following does the author NOT express?A．The function of toys is to inspire play.B．Good toys are very important to children’s growth.C．Toys should be chosen according to children’s ages.D．Toys are still the main source of learning for a student得分：2At the European Commission in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do –“languages”, they say, “have nothing to do with interpretation,” which helps to know them. Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability.To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators’ or interpreters’ associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an authorized organization’s own school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At London’s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter’s course if they can show that they have “lived a bit”, in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.The university also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁军) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday.Interpreters also rely on adrenaline (肾上腺素) — which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job — to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit thatthey enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it’s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.It’s also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the UN.（2.0 分）6. What does “have lived a bit” mean?A．To be older than others.B．To travel to more countries.C．To have abundant life experienceD．To have longer training in interpreting得分：2（2.0 分）7. Candidates for the training course in London’s University of Westminster need the following qualifications EXCEPT ______.A．having wide cultural interestsB．having a good knowledge of current affairsC．being familiar with the languages they translateD．being eloquent lectures得分：2（2.0 分）8. The interpreters rely on adrenaline because ______.A．it can help finish their work quicklyB．it can make them excitedC．it can prevent them from heart diseaseD．it can make them work harder得分：2（2.0 分）9. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.A．language has nothing to do with interpretingB．only those postgraduates from the foreign language universities can work as interpretersC．interpreters must live in the country where the required language is spokenD．interpreters build the bridge for international communication得分：2（2.0 分）10.The job as interpreter has the following characteristics EXCEPT ______.A．funnyB．daringC．dangerous sometimesD．exciting得分：2Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. Theyare tax-deductible（可减税的）. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.（2.0 分）11. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.A．still judge a man by his clothesB．hold the uniform in such high regardC．enjoy having a professional identityD．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform得分：2（2.0 分）12.People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.A．suggests quality workB．discards his social identityC．appears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes得分：2（2.0 分）13. The chief function of a uniform is to _______.A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC．inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity得分：2（2.0 分）14.According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.A．are usually helpfulB．have little or no individual freedomC．tend to lose their individualityD．enjoy greater popularity得分：2（2.0 分）15. The best title for this passage would be _______.A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a UniformC．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms得分：2People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.（2.0 分）16. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A．The rising of the sea level.B．The experts’ lack of knowledge.C．The washing-away of limestone cliffsD．The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.得分：2（2.0 分）17. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England__________.A．will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB．has now become a threat to the local residentsC．can be stopped if proper measures are takenD．is quickly changing the map of England得分：2（2.0 分）18.The experts’ study on the problem of erosion to __________.A．warn people whose homes are in dangerB．provide an effective way to slow it downC．head to its eventual solutionD．lead to its eventual solution得分：2（2.0 分）19.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because __________.A．house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB．it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areasC．the government is too slow in taking actionD．they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents得分：2（2.0 分）20. According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should _________.A．take the quality of the house into considerationB．guard against being cheated by the house agentC．examine the house carefully before making a decisionD．be aware of the potential danger involved得分：2二、单选题（3.0 分）1. ________ he is good at operating computers.A．It says thatB．It said thatC．It is being said thatD．It is said that得分：3（3.0 分）2.
