大学英语-期末考试试题卷(A)

Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And, despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.To see how the juncos would react if they had somewhere to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.41. Juncos are probably ________.A.very nice to look atB. stronger and more fierce than hawk sC. spending a lot of time worrying about being eatenD. mild in disposition42. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups, they ________.A. are less worriedB. eat lessC. are more worriedD. alter their feeding habits43. The passage says that ________.A. many birds don’t like to forage in groupsB. juncos are always ready to attack when they are togetherC. juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanningD. juncos like the food provided by Caraco best44. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that ________.A. birds are not afraid of treesB. birds become bolder if there is a hiding-place nearbyC. birds often hide themselves in treesD. birds are free whether there are trees around or not 45. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Flocking for SafetyB. The Story of JuncosC. Feeding HabitsD. The Research on JuncosPassage TwoOn hot, humid days you can hardly wait until you get to an air—conditioned room. Air conditioning is a method of changing the condition of the air from what it is to what it should be in order to improve your comfort and health. The machinery for doing this is complicated, but the principles of air conditioning are simple. A fan draws in the air from outside the building. The air is full of dust which may affect your health. Therefore, it is first forced through fine screens which catch the dust and filter it out of the air. It cools the air to a temperature that may suit you. The air still contains a proportion of moisture. Too much moisture makes you uncomfortable. Too little makes your nose and throat feel dry. The conditioner adjusts the air to the right proportion of moisture, taking out extra moisture or adding some if there is not enough. The air in your room, too, passes again and again through the conditioner, and in a short time the temperature, the amount of moisture and purity are just right.46. The purpose of air conditioning is __________.A. to manufacture better airB. to improve the condition of the airC. to change the air we now have into a new kind of airD. to produce fresh air47. Conditioning makes air better for us __________.A. by blowing away the dustB. by treating the dust with some chemicalsC. by cooling the dustD. by removing the dust48. On warm or hot days the air can be cooled __________.A. to a desired temperatureB. to a freezing temperatureC. to only a few degrees below the outside temperatureD. Both A and B49. The air conditioner__________.A. removes all the moisture in the airB. adds moisture to the airC. maintains the proper proportion of moisture in the airD. prevents moisture from coming into the room50 . According to the passage, __________.A. air conditioning is of great use only in summer.B. air conditioning is of great help to our comfort.C. it’s not always easy to achieve the desired level of the moisture in the airD. it’s the fan in the air-conditioner that is of great importance.Passage ThreeThe last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before Santa departed for his next stop.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes. Bunny have mistaken the creative for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on his head.“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown creative with antlers, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph, “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick. I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“I’m afraid that I’ve always had a sensitive(敏感的) stomach when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “ But everyone expected me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!51. Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Ch ristmas Eve?A. he was looking forward to seeing his special present.B. he wanted to take a look at Santa when he came at night.C. he was disturbed by a noise on the roof of his house.D. he was thinking what present to ask from Santa.52. Why did Bunny feel disappointed?A. Santa left before he could have a look at him.B. Santa didn’t bring the special present he wanted.C. everything was silent and there was no sign of Santa coming.D. there was a pile of presents under the Christmas tree but nothing for him.53. What do we learn about reindeer from the passage?A. they make big noises while they are flying.B. they look like dogs except for the antlersC. they are all especially good at pull sleds.D. they suffer stomachaches when they take to the air.54. Why didn’t Ralph go with the other seven reindeer?A. he got stuck in the chimney.B. Bunny asked him to stay.C. he was air-sick.D. he didn’t know how to get back to the North Pole.55. This passage seems to tell us that________A. Santa knows what present a child wants without even being toldB. reindeer are hired to bring presents to children on Christmas EveC. if a child stays awake on Christmas Eve, he could catch a glimpse of SantaD. parents take great care when choosing Christmas presents for their children四、Translation(每小题2分,共20分)Directions:Translate the following Sentences.56. Extinction is one environmental problem that is truly irreversible —once gone, these species cannot be brought back.57. Canberra is proof that —with proper planning —the environment can be preserved in densely populated cities and towns.58. But many people do not realize how these ideas about body image have affected teenagers and children.59. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out.60.

Here are some points you should remember if you intend to apply for a scholarship to study i n the United States of America.First of all, you will have to ask for an application form, fill in the form with great care, and then send it in with a copy of your school records. After that, you will have to ask your teachers to write some letters of reference. You will also need to take some tests such as TOEFL and GRE. You may apply to several universities at the same ti2me. Overseas students in the States are not allowed to work in their spare time except in the summer.1.

The telephone book lists restaurants for each city according to the name, area of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants put up their menus on the window, and you are not sure about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you sit down at a table, or just ask about the price. Appearances from the outside can be misleading--- what looks like a smell, informal restaurant may really be very expensive, and what looks like a large, expensive restaurant may be very reasonable.You can get a meal for about $4 or $5 or a little more if you eat in a snack bar of coffee shop, but in most city restaurants you should expect to pay $8 to $10 a person for dinner, with alcoholic drinks and wine extra. Prices in New York City are even higher.1. Restaurant in each city are listed in the telephone book according to __________.

( )A. $4 to $611B. $4 to $8C. $6 to $8D. $8 to $10答案: D5. What does the passage intend to tell us? ( )A. Prices in New York are very even higher.B. Restaurants in big cities vary greatly in price.C. Appearances of the restaurant from the outside can give you some wrong idea.D. Any kind of restaurants can be found in most of the large cities.答案: DPassage 3Our risk of cancer rises dramatically as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors —or doesn’t it?While such vigilant(警觉的)tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it’s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing. In many cases, screening can lead to additional biopsies and surgeries to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not pose serious health problems in patients’ remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a riotous reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy groups. It’s hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or prior personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy(预期寿命).A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening- especially considering the explosion of the elderly that will soon swell our population.It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that make sense for the whole patie nt. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves. We need to think about the rational use of health care and stop talking about the rationing of health care.” That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.121.Why do doctors recommend routine cancer screening for elderly people?()A. It is believed to contribute to long life.B. It is part of their health care package.C. The elderly are more sensitive about their health.D. The elderly are in greater danger of tumor growth.答案: D2.How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?()A. It adds too much to their medical bills.B. It helps increase their life expectancy.C. They are doubtful about necessity.D. They think it does more than good.答案: C3.What is the conventional view about women screening for breast cancer?()A. It applies to women over 50.B. It is a must for adult women.C. It is optional for young women.D. It doesn’t apply to women over 74.答案: B4.Why do many doctors prescribe routine screening for cancer?()A. They want to protect themselves against medical disputes.B. They want to take advantage of the medical care system.C. They want data for medical research.D. They want their patients to suffer less.答案: A5.What does the author say is the general view about health care? ()A. The more, the better.B. Prevention is better than cure.C. Better early than late.13D. Better care, longer life.答案: APassage 4Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure. In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences. According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out. An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester. Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said. At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing. "One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration." "I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations." The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race. Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.1.What can we learn from some recent studies? ()A. Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.B. Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.C. Interracial lodging does more harm than good.D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.答案: D2.What does Sam Boakye's remark mean? ()14A. White students tend to look down upon their black peers.B. Black students can compete with their white peers academically.C. Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.答案: D3.What does the Indiana University study show? ()A. Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.B. Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.C. Roommates of different races just don't get along.D. Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.答案: A4.What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"? ()A. Students of different races are required to share a room.B. Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.C. Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.D. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.答案: D5.What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging? ()A.

本科《综合英语》期末考试考卷及答案

《综合英语》考试试卷(A卷、闭卷)Part I Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (每小题3分,共15分)Passage OneSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.1.The author uses the example of the robot in space explorationto tell us .A) the differences between robots and menB) the reason why men need to sleepC) about the need for robots to save powerD) about the danger of men working at night2.Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to helphim _______.A) maintain a regular pattern of lifeB) prevent trouble that comes looking for himC) avoid danger and inefficient laborD) restore his bodily functions3. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ______.A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworkedC) are in a tent D) are away from home4. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ______.A)need more time for restorationB) are unlikely to be attackersC) are more active than horses when they are awakeD) spend less time eating to get enough energy5.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?.A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular patternof sleeping and waking.B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionarytheory.C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in thedesigning of robots.D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined bythe food it eats.Part II Vocabulary & Structure 词汇和结构(每小题2分,共30分)1.The meeting’s been canceled.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds (语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.Let’s look at this 1 in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, 2 distinguishes man from the rest of the 3 world. Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 4 of cries: for example, many birds utter 5 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 6 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 7 thesevarious means of communication differ in important ways 8 human language.For instance, animals’ cries do not 9 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 10 us to divide a human utterance into 11.We can change an utterance by 12 one word in it with 13: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 14 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 15 means “danger!”This is why the number of 16 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case 17 point; it has about twenty different calls, 18 in human language the number of possible utterances is 19 .

“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”
“That’s right,” answered the pilot. “I can land a plane where nobody else can. But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”
“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring?” said the hunter.
“Is that true?” asked the pilot.
“Yes, it is. I swear it.”
Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

(完整版)大一英语上学期期末考试试卷

(完整版)大一英语上学期期末考试试卷2022级高校英语第一学期期末考试(A卷)Jan., 2022Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneScience is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues tobe examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite(流星)from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.21. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to state that ____________.A) most scientific discoveries are not reliableB) mass media is misleading because it looks at the research results onlyC) scientific research is a process filled with reverses and requiresslow and patientworkD) repeated experiments are necessary before medicine can be used in patients22. Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A) a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrongB) the end of a processC) the beginning of a new scientific inquiryD) the soundness of the result23. Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A) experiments have proved him rightB) scientists do not need so many experimentsC) one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D) scientific ideas are never free from challenge24. NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A) the way human beings learn about natureB) the failure of the scientific methodC) the fruitlessness of human search for life on another worldD) the excitement brought by scientific findings25. It can be inferred from the passage that the media is interested in __________.A) the process of scientific researchB) the results of scientific researchC) the scientists who do the researchD) the effects of scientific research on human lifePassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressureand strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find timefor great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A) 36B) 12C) 20D) 1527. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A) to live in a different universityB) to take a particular course in a different universityC) to live at home and drive to classesD) to get two degrees from two different universities28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________.A) their academic performance will affect their future careersB) they are heavily involved in student affairsC) they have to observe university disciplineD) they want to run for positions of authority29.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_________.A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB) they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC) such positions help them get better jobsD) such positions are usually well paid30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeDoreen Sykora is now a junior at Mcgill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-----even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.”HitoshiSakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.31. Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto were filled with nervousness and fear duringexaminations because they were__________.A) not ready and unaware of the answersB) physically so weak that they fell apartC) subject to test anxietyD) unable to write or think clearly32. The higher the students’ worry level is, __________.A) the less calm and relaxing they areB) the more difficult they will be trained to manage fearC) the more stressed and tense they areD) the longer courses they will take to manage fear33. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A) To help students to reduce test anxiety.B) To show a stress level experienced by students.C) To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D) To have a better understanding of test anxiety.34. What’s the meaning of “blank out” in paragraph one?A) To be like a blanket.B) To be sure of an answer.C) To be relaxed.D) To be unable to think clearly.35.Which of the following best sums up the organization of the passage?A) Examples----theories----ideas.B) Problem----strategy----examples----results.C) General statement----examples----result.D) Strategy----experiment----examples.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose thebest answer.Passage OneWhen the going gets tough, real women start coloring. They're picking up adult coloring books by the droves, at bookstores and craft stores, on and even from the Home Shopping Network.The designs appeal to every interest —from whimsical doodles(异想天开的涂鸦) to circular mandalas, nature scenes and fantasy worlds.Coloring not only evokes happy memories of childhood; the act can also foster a sense of well-being and offer a relaxing respite from our digital world. Crafters have known this intuitively for years.An accumulation of research shows that these creative activities can help you de-stress from everyday pressures. Recent studies suggest that structured, rhythmic endeavors such ascoloring, knitting(针织), crocheting(编织)or quilting(缝被子)are particularly beneficial because they ease you into a meditative(冥想)state of mind that allows you to push away negative thoughts and worries."These activities engage your hands as well as your mind and your focus," says art therapist Lacy Mucklow, the author of several best-selling Zen-themed(以禅为主题)coloring books. "Plus, the repetitive actions release serotonin(血管收缩素), the brain transmitter responsible for relaxation."Numerous studies have looked into how crafting(手工艺)benefits mood and physical health. In a 2006 study co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and several federal health agencies, researchers found that adults 65 or older who engaged in creative activities such as making jewelry, painting or writing had better overall health, made fewer visits to the doctor, used less medication and had fewer health problems than non-crafters.Stress reduction is a top reason Cathy Simocko-Smith, 59, a professional gardener(园艺工)in Bridgeport, Conn., enjoys coloring. "Coloring at night while I'm watching TV helps quiet my mind," she says. "I can really lose myself in it, and it stops me from thinking about my work and the stresses in my life."Coloring is a great way to explore your creativity — it's easy, inexpensive and you don't have to know how to draw. The 10 to 20 minutes you spend coloring an image that gives you a sense of satisfaction can have a positive ripple effect throughout your day.31. When do women want to color?A) When they have learned online shopping, they start coloring.B) When they face some difficulties, they start coloring.C) When they feel very depressed, they start coloring.D) When they get tougher, they start coloring.32. What does the word “respite” (Para. 3) possibly mean?A) A pleasant environment.B) A beautiful place.C) A good opportunity.D) A short break.33. What does Lacy Mucklow say about coloring?A) It helps your fingers and hands become more flexible.B) It can push away your negative thoughts and worries.C) It provides you with an opportunity to relax.D) It requires repetitive actions so that you need to be focused.34. Why does Cathy Simocko-Smith enjoy coloring?A) Because coloring helps her relieve pressure.B) Because coloring is good for her overall health.C) Because coloring assists her in developing creativity.D) Because coloring increases her working efficiency.35. What does this passage mainly talk about?A) Women particularly enjoy coloring.B) Coloring can be beneficial to you.C) Coloring gives you a sense of satisfaction.D) Coloring becomes a part of people’s daily life.Passage TwoThere are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization(专业化). You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”(多面手,通才). And these “generalists” are particularly needed for position in administra tion, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist(专业人才,行家)understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. H e is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist —and especially the administrator —deals with people; hisconcern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities(人文学科) are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs them in different proportions(比例). It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you —but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.36. According to the passage, there is an increasing demand for ________.A) people whose job is to organize other people’s workB) all-round people in their own fieldsC) generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD) specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others37. A specialist is a man ________.A) whose job is to train other peopleB) who has been trained in more than one fieldC) who can see the forest than the treesD) whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters38. An administrator is ________.A) a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB) a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC) a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD) a man who is an “educated” specialist39. During your training period, it is important to ________.A) try hard to be a generalist who understands one fieldB) choose a profitable job which is suitable to youC) find an organization that provides you with leadershipD) decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or generalist40. A man’s first job ________.A) is never the right job for himB) should not be regarded as his final jobC) should always be the right jobD) is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobSection B: (本题满分20分,包括10道小题,每小题2分)Directions:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraphmore than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Match the correct letterwith the statement.Why our Homes Make us HappyA) Humans add layers of significance to home and place, so homes and neighborhoods help us keep alive some of the strongest sources of what has given our lives meaning, well-being, and happiness. It’s no wonder, anthropologists (人类学家) and aging experts say, that we often say people are going home when they die. For many children, a sense of home and place is shaped by their room, and it can evoke strong memories and feelings decades after they've moved away.B) “There is pretty strong evidence that the environment in which people live is closely linked to their well-being,”says Graham Rowles, a gerontology(老年学) professor at the University of Kentucky. “It’s sort of like the human animal attachment to territory is built into our DNA.” We have a need for a place that is called home which provides security(安全感), control and belonging, among other things. “But most of all, it’s a place that provides us with a centering—a place from which we leave each morning and to which we return each evening,” he adds.C) American culture is strongly rooted in feelings of independence, liberty, and control, says Robert Rubinstein, who teaches anthropology at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. “We live in a society that is concerned with freedom, and part of that developmentis being able to make a space for yourself, and having a central place from which to look out at the world,” he says.D) Rick Scheidt has spent much of his professional life talking with aging residents of the vanishing small towns that dot the prairies (大草原) in Kansas and other Midwestern states. Here, sense of belonging is very powerful. Often, it is all that is left. He says, “People look at aspects of their environment in a very personal way. I might be talking to an older woman about her memories of a place, and I’d say, ‘Look at that cedar tree over there. It looks like it's been through hard times and gotten hit by lightning.’ And she’ll look at that tree and say, ‘Oh, that’s third base,’drawing on memories of when she played baseball there as a child.”E) Such memories become part of a person's life story, which often is central to their sense of well-being and assessment of whether their life has had meaning. “We can't understand anything else that people are telling us without understanding their life story,” Rubinstein says. The role of home and sense of place in a person's life story can be significant. As people age, he notes, their life story takes on added importance.F) Likewise, the meaning of a person's home is enriched with memories. Habib Chaudhury teaches classes on aging and environment at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He identifies four areas where home takes on added meaning for older residents. “The first is the emotional attachment that is formed,” he says, and it grows over time. “It contributes to their emotional well-being, their self-esteem, and their confidence about doing things.”G) Next is familiarity with their physical surroundings. This is particularly important if a person has lost some physical and cognitive (认知的) abilities. Knowing their way around their home helps compensate, and being comfortable in their living space reduces stress and helps well-being.H) “The third factor is knowing their neighborhood and being comfortable there and with the people they know,” Chaudhury says. “Fourth is more conceptual,”he says. “It has to do with their sense of identity. The sense of attachment to a home can become so strong that it becomes part of their emotional identity,” Chaudhury says. “It can help people make up forother losses in their lives,” such as the death of a spouse, end of a career, or reduction of their circle of friends.I) Making the transition from a long-occupied family home to newer surroundings can have a big impact on people at all stages of life, but may be especially dreadful for older people. “This can be very difficult for older people who have lived in a place for 40 or 50 years,”Rubinstein says. “There is a need for many people for counseling for how to go through this process of downsizing”.J) Rowles sees signs that America’s determined pursuit of mobility has been changing the attitudes of younger generations. The recession (经济衰退) and serious slowdown in home sales has, for the time being, reduced the pace of home relocations. But the broader pattern has been of a society in which people can live anywhere and unconsciously depend on businesses and other institutions to copy a comforting sense of place all over the country. K) “We're much more mobile than past generations,”Rowles says. “There is less and less attachment to place. What are we losing as we are constantly moving around? Families are separated. There is no longer a support system in place. Some of the things about home are much more symbolic than real these days.”L) Dreams of having a home of their own are essential, of course, but people should be cautious of investing too much of themselves in their home. At the extreme, this problem shows up in headlines about people who never throw anything away and become isolated in their homes. A healthy home-life balance can be supported by annual “cuttings”of possessions and domestic items. Older homeowners should encourage grown family members to take items, especially those with sentimental value. And when it comes time to move, there is no shame in hiring a downsizing consultant to help with what can be very difficult and emotional decisions.M) It's also wise to identify how important a sense of home and place is to you, and to maintain the level of domestic life that supports your well-being. For some, traveling with a favorite pillow and even bedside knick-knacks(小玩意儿) may help reduce stress and promote a good night's sleep on the road. Other people, by contrast, could care less about where their head lands at the end of the day. Whatever your preferences are, the goal is to be at peace with your surroundings.41. Habib Chaudhury found home develops extra meaning for the elderly in four aspects.42. Americans are becoming more mobile so they don’t have such strong affection for theplace where they live.43. It’s sensible to realize the importance of home to you and to keep good family life foryour health.44. The sources of happiness and well-being can remain alive with the memories created byhome.45. It’s a difficult and even painful experience to change living environment for many people,especially the older generations.46. People are advised not to invest too much in their home even though owning a home is aprimary dream.47. One’s life story is made up of memories from childhood and plays a key role in theirfeelings of health, happiness and whether they life is meaningful.48. Robert Rubinstein says American culture endows home the meaning of freedom as well asa center for people to connect with the world.49. According to Graham Rowles, it’s evident that people’s health is related to the conditionsof the places where they live.50. The concepts of American young people are influenced by the mobility of Americansociety.答案Part I Listening Comprehension (本题满分40 分)Section A (本题满分12 分,包括6 道小题, 每小题2 分)1.C2. A3. B4. D5. A6.

DPart II Reading Comprehension (20%)Passage 1The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that can be called repartee. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game,” a British observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it almost makes your neck hurt.”Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans admireconciseness, or what they call “getting to the point.”Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼仪式的交流). Onlya few ritual greetings are common: “How are you?” “I’m fine, thankyou,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations Americans learn to recognize, and, like any ritual greetings, are concerned more with form than with substance.That is, the questions are supposed to be asked and the statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. In many American’s opinions, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy”or “too polite,” unwilling to reveal their true natures and ideas.Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family me mbers’ health—common among Latin Americans—considering thema waste of time.26.During a typical conversation between Americans, people try to be________.a. politeb. interestedc. concised. friendly27. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennisgame, the British observer means that _________.a. Americans like to take short turns in a conversationb. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching a table tennis gamec. Americans get excited easilyd. Americans talk with great expression28. Americans ___________ when they talk with Arabs.a. may lose their patienceb. have to listen very carefullyc. talk too muchd. never use English29. In the United States, ritual greetings __________.a. are very common in people’s conversationsb. are suitable in all situationsc. help to lead to a serious conversationd. have little substance30. According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of peoplewho ____________.a.. do not talk muchb. do not pay attention to the speakerc. like to ask about other people’s healthd. bring too many ritual greetings into a conversationPassage 2Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up,a nd they probably will say “doctor” or “lawyer.”Though our culture, our economy, indeed our very security are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites(必要条件) for a career in science or engineering. Worse yet, only 6 percent of minority children are said to be so prepared.Don’t be too surprised. If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows.“Doctors help people. They save lives.” “Lawyers beat the bad guys.” Most students would say.Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice? The answers will be just as predictable: “Get real! Who wa nts to be a geek? They all are nerds. Besides, I hate math.”In our media, scientists and engineers typically are portrayed as introverted(内向的) and humorless. They always wear white lab coats, with a collection of pencils in their pocket protectors. They wear glasses with black plastic frames.If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them.They need to be told, for instance, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application of it in the hospital.It also might help if someone emphasized to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant(被告) by introducing the DNA evidence would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA.Whatever we do, u ntil students stop thinking of the term “engineer”as a synonym for “geek,” it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers.31. What is the problem with most American children when they choose theircareers?a. They have a very low opinion of science and engineering.b. They are too anxious to succeed in different fields.c. They are not sure what career suits them best.d. They do not have enough confidence in themselves.32. Which of the following has influenced American students greatly intheirchoice of their careers?a. Parents’ opinions.b. TV shows and various publications.c. Great discoveries made by doctors and lawyers.d. Culture and economy.33. In the passage, the writer criticizes the media for ___________.a. depicting scientists and engineers as nerds and geeksb. creating too much violence in the societyc. failing to report the great achievements made by scientistsd. using words like “nerd” and “geek” inap propriately34. In order to change the students’ view towards scientists andengineers, the writer suggests that _________.a. teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematicsb. students be told about the wonders of science and engineeringc. scientists and engineers change their images a little bitd. the media stop praising doctors and lawyers excessively35. Judging from what is said in the passage, the writer obviouslybelieves that _________.a. scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyersb. science and engineering have been dangerously ignoredc. American children are hopelessd. there are too many scientists and engineers nowadaysPassage 3Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25percent of bottled w ater comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.36. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?a. It is a kind of iced water.b. It is just plain tap water.c. It is a kind of bottled water.d. It is a kind of mineral water.37. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Para. 2), von Wiesenb erger wants to convey the message that ________.a. plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinkingb. bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterc. bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasted. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste38. The “fancier brands” (Para. 5) refers to ________.a. tap water from the Thames Riverb. famous wines not sold in ordinary storesc. PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasanid. expensive bottled water with impressive names39. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?a. Bottled water brings in huge profits.b. Competition from the wine industry is intense.c. Most diners find bottled water affordable.d. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.40. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?a. It is much cheaper than wine.b. It is considered healthier.c. It appeals to more cultivated people.d. It is more widely promoted in the market.Passage 4As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent year s, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of mo nitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an eff ort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.41. Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.a. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionb. monitoring patients’ body functionsc. removing people’s bad living habitsd. ensuring people’s psychological well-being42. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.a. good health is more than not being illb. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulc. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitd. prevention is more difficult than cure43. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.a. does not have any unhealthy living habitsb. does not have any physical handicapsc. is able to handle his daily routinesd. is free from any kind of disease44. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________.a. to best satisfy their body’s special needsb. to strive to maintain the best possible healthc. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthd. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure45. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?a. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.b. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.c. People who try to maintain the best possible, regardless of their limitations.d. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.三、单项选择题(本大题共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)46. D 47. D 48. C 49. A 50. B 51. B 52. B 53. C 54. D 55. C56. A 57. D 58. C 59. A 60.

For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneEverybody knows the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34, 000, 000, 000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat in at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef, sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries ( French fried potatoes), shakes ( a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same.

Passage Two.Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe.

He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the year following World War I honors were increasingly given to him.

Sometimes a puppy, or even an older dog, will chew their fingers or bite them. Even in play, this can really hurt. Unfortunately, many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog. However, when the dog gets larger, it is not fun to be bitten it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human skin or clothing is an important lesson. From now on, if you feel your dog‟s teeth while you are playing with him, say “Ouch” in a loud voice and move away from him. He will soon learn that when he bites, you will not play with him any more.Another bad habit that many people tolerate in their pets is allowing them to bite and hold on to clothing. Don‟t let your dog do this to you. When he does something you want him to do, praise him and tell him he‟s a good dog. You can also give him a treat at the same time he performs the good behavior. Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not. Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dogwhen he does what you want, he will become very well behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a sock with a knot tied in it or an old shoe. If he chews the wrong thing, take it away while saying “No” and give him something he can chew. If dos are trained well, they will truly be your friends for a lifetime.21.
