全新版大学英语第二册unit2（成人专升本）期末考试复习资料（5篇）第一篇：全新版大学英语第二册unit2(成人专升本)期末考试复习资料Unit 2ValuesPair Work1.What is the Salvation Army? What does a Salvation Army bell ringer do?The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who helps it collect donations.2.What did the boy ask the writer? What do you think made him raise such a question?The boy asked him: Are you poor? He did it simply out of confusion and curiosity.Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer.3.How did the writer answer? What does the writer's answer to the boy's question mean?He said, “I have more than some people, but not as much as others.” This mean s that he was neither poor nor rich.4.Why did the boy's mother scold him?The boy's mother scolded him because the question was socially inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor.5.Is the writer poor or not in terms of material possessions? Giv e facts to support your conclusion.Yes, he's.He’s economically he is poor.He lives in a small basement apartment.He doesn't even have a color TV.He falls into the lowest income category And so on.6.Does the writer feel poor? Why or why not?No, the writer does not feel poor.This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods.7.In what situation does thewriter feel out of place?He feels out of place among people who ate primarily interested in material things.8.What did the girl tell him before her visit to his basement apartment? And whathappened after?She told him that she was interested in what's on the inside.But after he Wok her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely.9.How ought one to understand such “a seemingly abrupt change in her priorities”?It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before.10.Can we infer from the essay what role commercials can play in society?Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.11.Why does the writer say “December is the time of year I feel wealthiest”?Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.12.How has the boy's question affected the writer?The boy's question has helped the writer realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and should be thankful for that. Vocabulary1、Prof.Williams sys that my composition is good except for the ending which seems too.Williams教授说我的作文总体很好，除了结尾看上去太突然了点。
《英语(二)》复习资料(自考专升本)
《英语（二）》复习资料语法主要考哪些项目？英语（二）最常考的语法项目包括：动词时态和语态、非谓语动词、虚拟语气、定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、比较级、语序、主谓一致、强调句、基本句型。
* 最常考的时态：现在完成时、过去完成时、过去时、一般现在时和将来完成时。
* 最常考的非谓语动词：独立结构、动名词作某些动词的宾语、非谓语动词作定语和状语。
* 最常考的虚拟语气：与过去事实相反的虚拟语气的从句和主句。
* 最常考的定语从句：where 引导的定语从句、名词/代词+ of + which引导的定语从句。
* 名词性从句：what，whether 引导的主语或宾语从句、that 引导的同位语从句。
* 状语从句：now that，in that，in case，as，while 引导的状语从句。
哪些词最有可能考单词拼写？严格来说，只要是考纲中包括的词都有可能出现在单词拼写大题中，但是从历年考题可以看出，某些词的命中率要高于其它词，有些词甚至反复考过，这说明考生在背单词的时候还是可以在全面覆盖的基础之上突出重点、提高效率的。
在这里我们不可能一一罗列重要的词汇，下面是我总结的英语（二）常考单词的特点：* 绝大部分是长度在5-8个字母之间的中等难度的词，如：victim，gesture等；* 拼写和读音不完全对称的词，如：dumb，subtle等。
* 个别非常简单、但课文中不是很常见的名词，如：tube.* 从词性上来看，最常考的依次是名词、形容词、动词、和副词。
在复习这些单词时，一定要以考试大纲为准，而不能只背教材后面的生词表。
一方面，教材后面的生词表中包含了不少超刚词，完全不会考到；另一方面，对英语（二）来说，从下册教材生词表中出的单词只占三分之一，不可能涵盖所有要考的内容。
同样在复习时一定要讲究准确性，确保背一个记准一个，而不能只是记个大概，最后写出来每个都差不多但每个都有错。
复习建议针对上述预测，我们如何制定冲刺阶段的复习计划呢？下面是我推荐的三步复习法。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A) , B) ,C) and D) .You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.Passage 1There is, perhaps, no other sport in the world quite so exciting as skiing. For viewers, it is a scene of unrivalled（无对手的）beauty. For skiers, it is a vivid personal experience, a thrilling （激动）test of mind, muscle, and nerves. And more and more, Americans are discovering this thrill for themselves. Not too long ago, skiing had virtually no part in the American sports scene. If it were thought of at all, it was purely as a European sport. Then came the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York. Americans got their first good look at skiing and made for the hills. Today ski trains make regular runs from our cities to the great, white outdoors. Lodges（小屋）and cabins dot the mountain sides offering skiers the warmth of their firesides.In addition to joy and excitement, skiing offers other attractions. It is a comparatively inexpensive sport, and, for the young, the art of skiing is often mastered in a very short time.The special thrill of skiing is well described by Buddy Werner, “It’s all up to you,” he says, “No teammates can help. You’re alone. It’s you against the snow, the mountains, yourself. You’re a fighter.”1. Skiing _______.A. has always been popular in the United StatesB. has only recently become a popular American sportC. can never become popular in the USA.D. has only recently become popular in Europe2. In 1932, when the Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid, _______.A. Americans became enthusiastic about the sportB. Americans saw skiing for the first timeC. America did not enter the competitionD. America finished in last place3. By the expression “made for the hills”, the author means that _______.A. Americans took up skiingB. Americans were afraid of skiingC. skiing became popular only in the woodsD. the only place Americans could ski was in the mountains at Lake Placid4. Young people like skiing because _______.A. it takes a long time to learnB. it is extremely dangerousC. the skill can be mastered in a short timeD. skiers never get injured5. According to the Buddy Werner, the special excitement of skiing lies in the fact that it ______.A. is a team sportB. teaches one to get along well in a groupC. makes good soldiersD. puts the skier alone against the elementsPassage 2After practising as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons (美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case?Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have ... Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered is a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.6. Dr. Ginoux was working in __________.A.a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. a selective organizationD. an area far from any big city7. The application forms must include _____________.A. the decision procedureB. the best techniqueC. record of all the operationsD. a list of advice and judgments8. It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux was ________.A. a well-trained surgeonB. a member in that organizationC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America9. When she was filling the application forms, Dr. Ginoux began to be _______.A. r ealisticB. distinguishedC.perplexedD. decisive10. When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed because _______.A.she was doubtful about her operationsB.she didn’t perform enough operationsC.some operations were unsuccessfulD.she didn’t get advice from the selective committeePassage 3Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.I felt tense and nervous: One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement(人行道) before me, the violin under my chin.The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settleddown and began to run more smoothly. T o my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly tossed a penny into my hat, as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.I worked there for several days, gradually acquiring the truths of the trade by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.1. When he first began to play the violin, he expected ______.A. to get into troubleB. to play better than he didC. people to stop and listen to himD. to be told to move somewhere else2. The first man who gave him money ______.A. was too busy to stopB. wanted to get rid of himC. dropped the money by mistakeD. did not want to attract attention3. He gradually became confident that day because ______.A. nobody looked at himB. he played the violin very wellC. people continued to give him moneyD. he earned a lot of money4. On the following days, he ______.A. made a lot of mistakesB. learned how to do the job betterC. got better at playing the violinD. did not make so much money5. He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to ______.A. play in different streetsB. leave all the money in the hatC. empty the hat at regular intervalsD. leave a small amount of money in the hatPassage 4The basic flag of the United States is one of the world’s oldest national flags. Only the flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland are older.During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, the colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American colonies.The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in the field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding on stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars.He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker’s fancy.The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.There are many government flags flown in the United States in addi tion to the national flag. Among them are the president’s and vice-president’s flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling.6. The basic flag of the United States is _______.A. the oldest national flag in the worldB. one of the national flag in the worldC. the most beautiful flag in the WestD. as old as the basic flags of some European nations7. The first official flag of the United States was adopted ________.A. before the Independent WarB. right after the Independent WarC. when independence was declared in 1776D. during the War of Independence which ended in 17838.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize orfollow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? CA. The Daughter of a Mechanic.B. A Girl and Her Father.C. A Girl and Her Geese .D. How to Teach Birds to Fly.2. Why did the girl decide to take the eggs home? DA. Because she liked the eggs.B. Because she wanted to eat the eggs.C. Because her father asked her to do so.D. Because she knew that the mother goose will not come back.3. The baby geese naturally took _____B____ as their mother.A. the mother geeseB. the girlC. the first thing they touchD. the girl’s father4. What did the girl’s father do to help her?DA. He assembled a small plane.B. He piloted the plane himself.C. He taught the geese how to fly.D. Both A & B.5. How did the young geese learn to fly? AA. By following the girl in the plane.B. By themselves.C. By following the girl’s father.D. By staying in the plane.Passage 2You are unique. There are 6.5 billion people in the world but no other person is exactly like you. Besides people, there are millions of other living things. Every living thing is different from each other. Every living thing is a unique combination of characteristics.Why is each living thing unique? Where do its characteristics come from? Do people receive characteristics from their mothers and fathers? How? The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important to help us to answer these questions.Mendel studied plants, especially pea plants. In some way they were all the same. For example, they all had flowers. But some had red flowers, and others had white flowers. Some were tall, others were short. Mendel was especially interested in the differences. He wondered why each plant was of certain color, shape, size. He experimented with thousands of pea plants, with a careful record. And he discovered some interesting things. He mated different pea plants. First, he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant. All of the offspring plants had red flowers. Mendel was curious about what happened to the white. Then he mated two of the offspring plants. Every time he did this, they produced three red plants and one white plant. There was the white again. So Mendel knew that even red plants somehow passed on whiteness. Mendel decided that pea plants carried factors, and the parents passed these factors onto their offspring.Today we call these factors genes. Genes are tiny pieces of matter. They carry information from parents to offspring. Now we know that every person is unique and one reason for this is that every person is a unique combination of genes.6. In the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us that_______C______.A. no other person is exactly like youB. the total population of the world is 6.5 billionC. every living thing is uniqueD. different people have different characters7. The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important because___D__________.A. he had first set great value on pea plantsB. he was the first person to study pea plantsC. he had done a lot of experiments with thousands of pea plantsD. he had first discovered what we call genes today8. Gregor Mendel made a special study of plant because______C__________.A. few biologists were interested in studying pea plants at that timeB. he liked pea plant flowersC. he wanted to find out why pea plants differed in shape, color and sizeD. pea plants were all the same in some ways9. By experiments Gregor Mendel proved_________B________.A. pea plants of different colors could not mateB. pea plants possessed factors which could be passed onto the youngC. only redness could be passed onto the offspring if a red pea plant mated with a white oneD. pea plants had only two colors — red and white10. Which of the following statements is true?______A_____.A. Every person is unique because he is a unique combination of genesB. Genes only exist in plants, not in animalsC. Although there are a large number of different people in the world, there are some who look exactly alikeD. Some biologists after Gregor Mendel discovered that genes cannot determine the color of one’s eyes Passage 3Versailles is the site of the Palace of Versailles, one of the most storied buildings in the history of France. It was originally built as a hunting chateau by King Louis VIII in 1624. In 1669, King Louis XIV began searching for a grand site where he could conduct the affairs of France and control the government.

The hall, which measures 73 meters in length features 357 gold-coated stucco mirrors, ornate paintings, crystal chandeliers, marble fixtures, a parquet floor, and ceilings with colorful murals painted by artist Charles Le Brun. The Hall of Mirrors has also played a prominent role in history.

Many American colleges and universities have been offering it for years.One example is New York University in Manhattan. The School of Continuing and Professional Studies began online classes in nineteen ninety-two. Its Virtual College has taught more than ten thousand students from across the United States and other countries.Last year, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies launched NYU Online. It offers NYU’s first onl ine programs to earn a bachelor’s degree. Programs are offered in three areas: leadership and management, information systems management and social sciences. University officials say classes are highly interactive, where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to all log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor. Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects. The university says classes are taught by NYU professors who have been trained in online teaching.International students must take two admissions tests before they can be accepted into the program. These are the SAT and the TOEFL. We will discuss these tests later in our series.The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student takes. It can cost as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year. NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program. You can get more details at .16. When did New York University start its online classes? CA. In 1990.B. In 1998.C. In 1992.D. In 1982.17. Which of the following is NOT included in the online programs offering a BA degree? BA.

When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomeshot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. I f we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year.” Scientists are notsure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious about them.21. The main idea of the passage is that ___C___ .A. people feel cool when they are near a lake or an oceanB. scientists can explain everything we want to knowC. scientists can explain many things but not everythingD. the salt in the ocean comes from rocks22. You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because __D____ .A. the water is coldB. the earth is hotC. the water is colder than the earthD. the cool air from the water moves towards the land23. Now scientists know ____A__ .A. what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summerB. everything about the oceanC. why the ocean does not get more saltyD. what happens to the salt in the ocean24. A rock cracks when ____D__ .A. rain fallsB. it gets very hotC. it gets very coldD. either B or C25. People are always curious because __C___ .A. they know nothing about the worldB. they know little about the worldC. there are answers they do not haveD. either A or BVI.

It is the financial center of the exerting a significant influence upon the world’s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard （奇才）of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all his money. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would notsend for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor’s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boy’s leg in her sitting room. It’s incredible, isn’t it?31.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear t hat “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 . These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of theplanet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface38. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. the change of color in locustsB. the protective coloration of animals and pestsC. how a certain sea fish protects itselfD. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42. Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colors as cropsD. they fly extraordinarily fast43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because ______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44. Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.A. they fear other beastsB. they prefer brown or grey colorsC. they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD. the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. it can swim much faster than any other fishC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not two bright．So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kidswho quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could havegraduated from h igh school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma，and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So，if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland: “The most dependable finding was that they were bored.”“They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, T exas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.“As these dropouts look back，they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses thepoint－the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46. Most high school students drop out of school because＿＿．A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent47. According to the passage，which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia48.

In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_________.A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no education50. From the passage，we can infer the following EXCEPT that＿．A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB. on average dropouts cannot get good jobsC. classes don't appeal to dropoutsD. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishPassage 5People 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 mayturn out to be a knockdown home.51. 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 cliffs.D. The disappearance of hotels，houses and gardens.52. 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 England53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can .A. warn people whose homes are in dangerB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. lead to its eventual solution54. 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 neighboring areasC. the government is too slow in taking actionD. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55. 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 involvedPassage 6Normally 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 pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for 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.56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ________.A. to live in a different universityB. to get two degrees from two different universitiesC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to take a particular course in a different university58. 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 authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ________.A. they hate the constant pressure 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 paid60. The student organizations seem, to be effective in ________.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. eval uating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.

By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor's bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boy's leg in her sitting room. It's incredible, isn't it?31.Wall Street is.A.the name of Chinatown in New YorkB.the nickname of New YorkC.the financial center of AmericaD.the tourist center of U.S.A32.Hetty Green was nicknamed the Wizard of Wall Street because she.A.made a great fortune with sharesB.inherited a large sum of money from her fatherC.built up a large company on sharesD.was very strange and cruel33.The underlined word "mean" in the second paragraph probably can be replaced by.A.sadB. cruelC. disappointedD. ungenerous34.When her son broke his leg, Hetty Green.A.sent him to a large hospitalB.sent for a doctor at onceC.didn't pay the bill for the doctorD.took him to a charity hospital35.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Hetty Green died a poor old woman.B.Hetty Green preferred money to anything else.C.Hetty Green liked to earn a lot of money so as to live a good life.D.Hetty Green hated her son and refused to take him to a good hospital.Passage 2People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals" — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars 一are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planefs seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite （陨石），consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.36.Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.37.The "canals" on Mars have proved to be according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface38.What were the Mars' seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.39.How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.40.How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Someother pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.41.This passage mainly talks about.A.the change of color in locustsB.the protective coloration of animals and pestsC.how a certain sea fish protects itselfD.animals or pests can dye themselves different colors42.Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because.A.they are powerful enoughB.they are dangerous to their enemiesC.they take on the same colors as cropsD.they fly extraordinarily fast43.The pests that have different colors from plants usually appear at night because.A.birds take their rest when night comesB.their enemies can easily find them and eat themC.they have the habit of coming out in darknessD.it's easy for them to destroy plants in darkness44.Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because.A.they fear other beastsB.they prefer brown or grey colorsC.they enjoy walking through forests quietlyD.the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because.A.it is the most powerful in the seaB.it can swim much faster than any other fishC.it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD.it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemiesPassage 4High school dropouts （辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It\ much more basic than flunking out （不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can't cut it. They are lazy, and perhaps not two bright. So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school." John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic （美籍西班牙的）studentwill receive a diploma, and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So, if failing grades don't explain why these kids quit, what does? Again, John Bridgeland: "The most dependable finding was that they were bored.^, "They found classes uninteresting; they weren't inspired or motivated. They didn't see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.^,The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US, only one state, New Mexico, has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher, says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school."As these dropouts look back, they realize they've made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure,^, New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point—the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.46.Most high school students drop out of school because.A.they have failing gradesB.they take no interest in classesC.they are discriminated againstD.they are lazy and not intelligent47.According to the passage, which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia48.The underlined words "stick it out" probably means "A. complete schoolingB. solve the problemC. love having classesD. believe in themselves49.In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to.A.analyze the reason why students quit schoolB.suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC.raise awareness of reforming high school educationD.wish to make laws to guarantee no education50.From the passage, we can infer the following EXCEPT that—.A.the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB.on average dropouts cannot get good jobsC.classes don't appeal to dropoutsD.about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishPassage 5People 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 cliffand 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.51.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 experts9 lack of knowledge.C.The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D.The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.52.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 England53.The experts5 study on the problem of erosion can .A.warn people whose homes are in dangerB.provide an effective way to slow it downC.help to prevent it from worseningD.lead to its eventual solution54.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 neighboring areasC.the government is too slow in taking actionD.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents55.According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people shouldA.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 involvedPassage 6Normally 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. Atypical 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 pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for 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.56.Normally a student would at least attend classes each week.A. 36B. 20C. 12D. 1557.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed.A.to live in a different universityB.to get two degrees from two different universitiesC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to take a particular course in a different university58.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 authority59.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably becauseA.they hate the constant pressure 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 paid60.The student organizations seem, to be effective in.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityA. seenC. hadseenB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students 9 performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students 9 enthusiasm for social activitiesIII.

Under careful scientific management, the sea alone could supply enough food for 61 seven times the present world population. This is 62 enough to end starvation among men.Nearly a third of the world's population suffers from lack of protein. Millions live 63 hunger and die 64 malnutrition, while enough food for all abounds in the sea. If starvation is to be avoided among the underfed peoples of the world in the closing years of the 20th century, 65 steps must be taken now to improve their food supply. The food 66 of the seas must be handled scientifically and protected frompollution. Oceanographers are working 67 these problems. Problems of pollution are 68 by both government officials and operators of individual plants. Steps are being taken to solve some of the more serious problems.Feeding the hunger of the earth from the resources of the sea 69 protecting the waters 70 the waste products of a highly technological world is one of the most important challenges facing the world scientists today and tomorrow.

Because of a bad coldC. Bad cold as I hadPassage 1You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, theglass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.11. Stuntmen are those who ___C___.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives12. Stuntmen earn their living by ____B__.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains13. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ___D___.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right14.

What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman? AA. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.Passage 2Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyoneon the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she? The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ─alone. The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!16. What do the people on the bus usually see at one corner?DA. A little dog coming close to the bus when it stops.B. Two maids get off the moment the bus stops.C. A dog waiting for someone.D. A dog greets a maid merrily and follow her into a house.17.

We can safely say this story is about _D__.A. a magic dogB. a young maid that has magic powersC. a bus that can produce magical resultsD. the close relationship between a maid and her dogPassage 3People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.21. The key point of the passage is that __B____.A. the cause of air pollution is people。

The telephone book lists restaurants in each city according to the name, area of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants post their menus in the windows so you can have some idea of the price and kind of food before you enter. If the menu is not posted and you are uncertain about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you are seated at a table, or else just ask about the price range. Appearances from the outside can be misleading —what looks like a small, 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 $2 or slightly move if you eat in snack bars or coffee shops, but in most city restaurants you should expect to pay $6 to $8 a person for dinner, with alcoholic drinks and wine extra. Prices in New York City are even higher.31.

magazines：a never-ending flood of words．In 1 a job or advancing in one，the ability to read and comprehend2 can mean the difference between success and failure．Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are3 readers．Most of us develop poor reading4 at an early age，and never get over them．The main deficiency5 in the actual stuff of language itself - words．Taken individually，words have6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased，sentences and paragraphs．7 ，however，the untrained reader does not read groups of words．He laboriously reads one word at a time，often regressing to8 words or passages．Regression，the tendency to look back over9 you have just read，is a common bad habit in reading．Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization - sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads．To overcome these bad habits，some reading clinics use a device called an 12 ，which moves a bar（or curtain）down the page at a predetermined speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 13 the reader finds comfortable，in order to "stretch" him．The accelerator forces the reader to read fast， 14 word-by-word reading，regression and subvocalization，practically impossible．At first 15 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts，you will not only read faster， 16 your comprehension will improve．Many people have found 17 reading skill

1It was unfortunate that，after so trouble-free an arrival，he should stumble（磕绊）in the dark as he was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock．After the first shock the pain became bearable，and he gathered up his parachute（降落伞）before limping into the trees to hide it as best as he could．The hard ground and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently．The pine needles lay several inches deep，so he simply piled them on top of the parachute，cutting the short twigs that he could feel around his legs，and spreading them on top of the needles．He was not sure if it would stay buried，but he could do nothing else about it．After limping for some distance from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees．He had to find out where he was，and then decide what to do next．But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his power．He dragged his legs with increasing difficulty，walking in long side-way movements across the slope，which meant taking more steps but less painful ones．By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley，day was breaking．Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields．Small cottages and farm houses grouped around a village church，the spire（尖顶）on its top pointing high into the cold winter air to greet the morning．“I can’t go much further，”John Harding thought．“Someone is bound to find me．What can I do？I must get a rest before I go on．They’ll look for me high up there in the mountains where the plane crashed．I bet they’re out looking for it already．They’re sure to find the chute in the end．So they’ll know I wasn’t killed and must be somewhere．They’ll think I’m hiding up there in the trees and rocks and look for me there．I’ll go down to the village．If I’m lucky my foot will be good enough by the evening and I can manage to get to the border．”He could hear the faint echoes of voices far above him on the mountainside，startling him after great silence．Looking up，he saw lights like pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light．The road was deserted，and he struggled along，still almost invisible in the first light，easing his aching foot wherever he could，avoiding stones and rough places，and limping quietly and painfully towards the village．He reached the church at last．A great need for peace almost drew him inside，but he knew that would not do．Instead，he limped along its walls towards a very old buildinga short distance from the church．It seemed to have stood there forever，as if it had grown out of the hillside．It had the same air of timelessness as the church．John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside．1．In spite of his bad ankle Harding was able to _____．A．walk in a direction that was less steepB．bear the pain without changing directionC．bury his parachute perfectly in a safe placeD．check the surroundings and locate where he was2．Why was his attention drawn to the mountain again？_____A．He was surprised to notice some torches moving around．B．He was astonished to hear some voices far away．C．He could see the searchers’ faces in spite of the poor light．D．He could feel a shower of small rocks falling from above．3．Which of the following do you think John Harding was？_____A．An escaped prisoner trying to hide away． B．A criminal on the run from the police．C．An airman landing in an enemy country area．D．A spy in search of an important person．4．Harding’s plan was _____．A．to cross the border as soon as possible B．to rest in the church as long as he could C．to have his injured foot treated D．to stay in the village for the day5．We can tell from the story that _____．A．Harding had a cool head in emergency B．Harding was strongly against warC．the plane crash took place at dawn D．it was unwise to bury the chutePassage 2The government may control prices when there is a problem such as rapidly increasing rents or a rise in the cost of living．When the government controls prices，there is no longer a normal relationship between the price of a product and the quantity consumers will buy．Government controls may help in an emergency（紧急情况）．However，some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time．In cities with rent control，the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord（房主）can charge for an apartment．Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments．Their rent cannot increase；therefore，they are not in danger of losing their homes．However，the critics（批评者）say that after a long time，rent control may have negative effects．Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits．Therefore，they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits．They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled．As a result，new apartments are not built．Many people who need apartments cannot find any．According to the critics，the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city．Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about rent control，price control and the minimum wage．The predictions may be correct only if other things are equal．Economists do not agree on some of the predictions．They also do not agree on the value of different decisions．Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it．Economists do agree，however，that there are no simple answers to economic questions．6．According to Paragraph 1，price control _____．A．does more harm than good B．is good in every senseC．is necessary but harmful in the long term D．should be avoided7．It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _____．A．thanks to rent control，it would be easier for many to find apartmentsB．landlords may take back their apartments if the rent is too lowC．the tighter the rent control is，the fewer new apartments will be builtD．landlords will not invest in other businesses after price control is approved by the government 8．Which of the following do all economists agree on？_____A．Controls can have negative effects over a long period of time．B．The government must take measures to control rent increase．C．The maximum rent system protects people who don’t have their own houses．D．Economic questions are difficult to deal with．9．The attitude of the author to price control is _____．A．subjective B．objective C．indifferent D．supportive10．The purpose of this passage is to _____．A．argue B．persuade C．analyze D．describe附：参考答案附参考答案（一）汉译英1.我们不应该只根据外貌来评论一个人。
