It is like bringing the world to your mailbox.Fiona, a member of ,says,''I love swapping postcards!Although it seems quite time-consuming to pick one ,write it and post it ,it is the amusement of receiving a flash of sunshine or humor that makes it worthwhile.''51.The underlined word ''Swapping''in Paragraph 1 means ____ .A.exchangingB.designingC.collectingD.writing52.The first paragraph tells us that ____ .A.postcards are simple and beautifulB.Swapping postcards is a hobby for all peopleC.Swapping postcards can keep pen friends in contactD.Those who swap postcards have lost interest in the real word53.Which of the following is true of ?A.Its members should pay for registrationB.It was created for a particular purposeC.Its members can share different hobbiesD.It was started by a group of citizens54.When will your name be added to the list of people to receive postcards on ?A.After one confirms the reception of your postcard.B.After you e-mail your first postcard.C.After you register on the websiteD.After one receives your address55.In Fiona's eyes,swapping postcards is ____ .A.time-savingbor-savingC.worthwhileD.humorousPassage 3Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important.An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information.But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme（主题）of the message.It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through .In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.56.The passage is most possible taken from ____ .A.a novelB.a textbookC.a news reportD.a fashion magazine57.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.How to think actively in listening comprehension.B.How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.58.The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ____ .A.the listener's emotionB.the difficulty of the messageC.the listener's communicative skillsD.The listener's familiarity with the topic59.In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ____ .A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others60.What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?A.Neutral.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Critical.Passage 4When men get stick，they act like babies ，say women . But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guys ----it could save their lives，say researchers at the University of Michigan.When women have a heart attack ,they’re more likely to put off seeking help the men ,and after an attack,they’re less likely to take steps to improve their health . What’s the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem are simply not a big deal . When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication (用药情况)，they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did .For more on women and heart disease ,go to .61.The underlined expression "the fairer sex" in Paragraph 1 refers to ____ .A. menB. babiesC. womenD.researchers62.

You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!51. The difference in time between zones is _________ ．A) more than seven daysB) twenty-four hoursC) one hourD) seven days52.

If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decisiondepends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristicsYou must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A) Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B) It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C) You should decide what kind of dog you want.D) You can always get help from the specialists.56. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A) The price of the dog.B) The color of the dog.C) Whether the dog will fit the environment.D) Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.57. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A) It must be looked after carefully.B) It demands more food and space.C) It needs more love and care.D) It must be trained so that it won’t bite.58. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A) It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B) They are less likely to run away.C) They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D) It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Passage ThreeStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books , supplies ,social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year.

For each question or statement there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You are required to make the correct choice and write thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A dolphin（海豚）looks more like a fish than certain fishes do. It is an excellent swimmer. The dolphin seems to flash through the water. Like fish, dolphins are completely at home in the water. There they play , feed, sleep, and give birth to their young. Dolphins live in the sea and can live only in the sea.Y et they are not fish. A dolphin must come to the surface to breathe. Fish can take oxygen from the water. Dolphins cannot. Like us, they breathe with lung and must take their oxygen from the air. And they are mammals（哺乳动物）.Most mammals are land animals. Dolphins are evolved（进化）from land animals. Long ago, dolphin ancestors（祖先）left the land for the sea. Among the animals was a kind that would become the dolphin we know. No one is sure exactly what kind of animal it was. But there is reason to think it was related to grass-eating animals like the cow. Modern dolphins are fish-eaters. Y et their stomachs are like those of animals that eat plants. The make-up of their blood is also likethat of grass-eating animals.46. The best title for this passage is .A. DolphinsB. FishC. MammalsD. Cows47. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. A dolphin is a special kind of fish.B. Dolphins can’t swim very quickly.C. Dolphins can live only in the sea.D. Dolphins produce their babies on land.48. Different from fish，dolphins .A. live on landB. breathe with lungsC. breathe under waterD. live without oxygen49. Dolphins are evolved from .A. fish-eating mammals.B. sea animals.C. grass-eating fish.D. land animals.50. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dolphins have highly evolved.B. Mammals don’t eat plants at all.C. All fishes developed from land animals.D. Dolphins were once closely related to humans.T ask 2Directions: This task (No. 51 to No. 55) is the same as Task 1.People often greet each other with “Hello”or “Hi”. Other forms of greetings are “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, “Good evening”according to different times of the day. When talking with foreign friends, we should pay attention to their social conventions. For example, we should not ask people questions about their private activities. So we may talk about the weather, sports or show our concern about their children.In general introductions, a man is usually introducing to a woman, and the young are introducing to the old. The titles of Miss, Mrs., Mr., Professor, or Doctor etc. can be used w ith the surname. Newly acquainted people will shake hands and greet each other with “How do you do”or “I’m glad to meet you”.51. When people are introducing for the first time, they usually greet each other withA. “Hi”B. “How do you do?”C. “Nice to see you again.”D. “Good morning.”52. People usually greet each other with all of the following exceptA. Good morning!B. I’m glad to meet you!C. How are you?D. Good night.53. We usually reply to “How do you do?” withA. HelloB. How are you?C. How do you do?D. I’m fine, thank you.54. When we talk with native speakers of English, we should not ask them the question “”A. How are you?B. what do you think of the football match?C. Do you like the weather here?D. Are you married?55. Newly acquainted people usually besides the greetings of “How do you do?”A. shakes handsB. nod headC. kiss each otherD. smile at each otherT ask 3Directions: This task (No. 56 to No. 60) is the same as Task 1.Someone said to a man，“Travel and see the world.”He answered，“Why should I? People are the same everywhere. They are born. They are babies. They are children. They are adults. They grow old. They die. While they are alive，they have the same emotions. They feel love and hate，happiness and sadness, security and fear，pride and shame, comfort and discomfort. That is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here. I’m going to stay home. ”The man was right. He was also wrong. People are the same，but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life---birth, youth, old age, death. But these stages of life have different values in different cultures. Also，while all people have the same emotions，the causes of these emotions are different. A situation that may bring happiness in one place may not bring happiness in another place.For example，in many countries old age is a happy time. Y oung people in these countries show respect to the old people. Y oung people listen when old people speak because they believe that an old person is a wise person. In that kind of society old people receive honor, privilege and satisfaction. In Korea, old people are honored and respected. When they are too old to live alone，they live with a son，daughter，or other relatives. When they become sixty-one years old, it is a very happy and important event. There is a big party with many guests. They receive many gifts. This birthday even has a special name. All other birthdays are called sing il(born day). The sixty-first birthday is called huan gup (beginning of new life).The sixty-first birthday has special name because when people reach this time in life，the attitudes of their family and their community change toward them. The younger people call them “grandfather” or “grandmother”, even if they are not related to them. Their position in life is good because they receive honors and respect. Everyone looks forward to this time.56. The man didn’t want to travel becauseA. he was too old and in very poor health.B. he could not speak a foreign language.C. he thought he could learn everything about life without traveling.D. he preferred to stay home to enjoy his old age.57. The word “security” in the first paragraph might meanA. safetyB. careC. dangerD. freedom58. All over the world people are the same becauseA. they have the same habits and customs.B. they have the same stages of life.C. they have the same emotions.D. Both B and C.59. In Korea old people are happy becauseA. they can live in a quiet and comfortable life.B. they don’t have to work any more.C. they can enjoy an honored and respected life.D. Both B and C.60. The word “privilege” in the third paragraph means .A. special treatmentB. special rightsC. special careD. special giftsT ask 4Directions: This task (No. 61 to No. 65) is the same as Task 1.Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large，hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider，which lives in the hot，thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula（狼蛛）. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters with their legs. Tarantulas are not，as most people think，poisonous spiders. They can bite，and the bite is painful，but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day，but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name，they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes（窗玻璃）because of sticky，silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.61. The bird-eating spider can be described as .A. a very hairy spiderB. a very frightening spiderC. the largest of spidersD. All of the above62. This spider lives where the climate is .A. wet and hotB. cool and dryC. hot and dryD. cool and wet63.

Compared with the bite of a black widow spider，the bite of a tarantula is .A. more dangerousB. less dangerousC. just as dangerousD. None of the above65. Bird-eating spiders hunt .A. during the dayB. at nightC. at dawnD.

It was not until you told me about it yesterday that I realized my mistake.75. Without electricity, there would be no modern industry.76. Friends play an important part in our lives, but we don’t know much about how to make friends. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, races, looks and social positions. Thus it is more difficult for people to become friends if there is a big difference in age and background. However, some people don’t think these factors are of the most importance.Part ⅤWriting (25 points)Directions:According to the given information, you are required to write A Letter to a Friend in about 100 words. The letter is required to be written on the Answer Sheet.情景：假定你是安徽大学计算机专业新生赵华，入学几个月后，给朋友赵红写一封信。

安徽专升本历年英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Anhui Professional Upgrade Exam: English Past Papers and AnswersHey there, friends! Are you getting ready to take the big English exam for the Anhui Professional Upgrade? Don't worry, your pal Claude is here to give you the inside scoop on what to expect.First things first, let's talk about what this exam is all about. You see, some students in Anhui want to upgrade their qualifications and go from a junior college diploma to a bachelor's degree. But to do that, they need to take a series of tests, including English. Pretty cool, right?Now, I know what you're thinking: "English exams? Ugh, those are so boring!" But trust me, these past papers are actually kind of fun. They've got a little bit of everything – reading comprehension, writing, grammar, you name it! It's like a big adventure through the world of English.Speaking of adventures, let me tell you about one of my favorite past reading passages. It was all about a group of kids who went camping in the mountains. They had to put up their tents, build a campfire, and even fend off a family of curious bears! Can you imagine? The questions asked you to retell the story and explain why certain things happened. It was like being right there in the great outdoors!Then there was this one writing prompt that had me cracking up. You had to pretend you were a talking dog and write a letter to your owner, explaining why you kept digging holes in the backyard. Hilarious, am I right? I bet you could come up with some really silly and creative responses.But of course, it's not all fun and games. There were also some pretty tricky grammar exercises where you had to identify parts of speech and fix errors in sentences. I won't lie, those ones made my brain hurt a little. But you know what they say: practice makes perfect!Luckily, I've got all the answers right here to help you get ready. We'll go through the past papers question by question, and I'll explain why each answer is correct. That way, you'll be a total pro by the time the real exam rolls around.And remember, if you ever feel stuck or confused, just give me a holler. I'll be your personal English coach, cheering you on every step of the way!So what do you say, friends? Are you ready to dive into these past English papers and see what they're all about? I guarantee you'll learn a ton and maybe even have some fun along the way. Just don't forget to pack your sense of adventure!Let's go explore the wild world of English exams together. Study hard, believe in yourself, and I know you'll do amazing. After all, you're the awesome students of Anhui! Let's show 'em what you've got.篇2The Big Scary English ExamOh boy, do I have a story for you! You know how some of the older kids talk about taking this huge English exam called the Anhui Exam for upgrading to university? Well, my big cousin Mei just took it and she told me all about it. It sounded really hard and scary!Mei said the first part was listening to recordings and answering questions about what she heard. She had to listenreally carefully to conversations between people and then say who said what or what they were talking about. There were also lectures and she had to take notes on the important details. Mei loves listening to English music and movies so she said that part wasn't too bad for her.Then came the reading part which Mei said was the hardest. There were all these long passages about science, history, culture and other boring grown-up topics. She had to read them quickly and answer detailed questions to show she understood everything. Some of the words were so looooong and complicated! How do adults remember all those crazy vocabulary words? Mei stayed up late for weeks reading practice passages over and over again to get ready.After that was the writing section where Mei had to write a whole essay in English about some topic like environmental protection or modern technology. She had to make sure she used proper grammar, clear organization with an introduction and conclusion, and lots of fancy vocabulary words. No text messaging lingo allowed! Mei'sessays always ended up being so longand she had to write them in such a short time. My hand would've fallen off from all that writing!Finally, there was speaking where Mei had to have a conversation with a test grader and answer questions to prove her English skills. She practiced giving speeches and role-playing situations to prepare. I can't imagine having to speak perfect English to a stranger like that without getting tongue-tied. So nerve-wracking!Mei worked herself to the bone studying for months. She read practice tests, did loads of sample questions, listened to recordings over and over, and wrote practice essays until she was cross-eyed. On the day of the big exam, she was a nervous wreck! But she pushed through and made it to the end.A few weeks later, Mei got her score report in the mail. She ripped it open and...she passed! She was jumping up and down cheering. All that hard work paid off and now Mei can go to her dream university to get a bachelor's degree. Phew, I'm relieved she survived that crazy English exam!I'm just a kid so that test is still a loooong way off for me. But hearing how difficult it was makes me want to really buckle down and work hard on my English from now on. I'll study grammar rules, read books, watch movies, and listen to songs to get ready. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next one celebrating after acingthe big scary Anhui English exam! Anything's possible if you put your mind to it. Fighting!篇3Every Anhui Kid's Guide to the Big College English TestHi there! My name is Xinxin and I'm a 5th grader here in Anhui Province. My big sister just took the huge English test to try to get into a four-year university after going to a junior college. It's called the Anhui Associate's Degree Admission Exam and the English part is really hard! She let me look at some of the old test questions and I'll share what I learned.First up, there's always a listening section where you have to listen really carefully to conversations or lectures and answer multiple choice questions. One time, they played a conversation between two friends deciding what movie to watch. The question asked what genre of movie one of them preferred. You had to listen super closely because they mentioned a bunch of different genres like action, romance, comedy and more!Then there are reading passages you have to read very carefully and answer comprehension questions about. My sister showed me one about the history of the Olympics that was pretty interesting. It talked about how the ancient GreekOlympics started way back in 776 BCE and had events like running, wrestling, boxing and more. The questions asked things like where the Olympics originated, what events were included, and details about the history. You really have to read slowly and pay close attention.Another reading was about environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and endangered species. It used a lot of hard vocabulary words about science and nature that I had to ask my sister to explain. The questions would ask about the main idea, specific details stated in the passage, and what inference or conclusion you could make based on the information given. My sister says those inference questions are always really tricky!But enough about the reading and listening, let me tell you about the writing section! One question asked students to write a short essay giving their opinion on an issue. My sister's prompt was "Some people believe social media is harmful and should be avoided, while others believe it has more benefits than drawbacks. What is your perspective? Explain your view and provide examples to support it." She had to write a whole 5 paragraph persuasive essay arguing one side or the other and using details and examples to convince the reader of her viewpoint. Her essay was arguing that social media has morebenefits than negatives when used responsibly. Wow, that seems hard to me!Another writing task was to read a short passage about recent research on a topic. Then students had to write a summary of the key points and main conclusion in their own words. Being able to summarize academic articles clearly and concisely is a really important skill for university students, so no wonder they test it!But probably the hardest part was the grammar and vocabulary section. My sister showed me practice questions that tested all kinds of crazy grammar rules that I haven't learned yet in elementary school. Things like identifying dangling modifiers, parallel structure, gerund and infinitive phrases...I don't even know what half of that means! The vocabulary questions gave a difficult word from the passage and asked students to determine the meaning based on context clues and choose a close synonym. Some of those words I had never heard of at all!After looking at all those practice tests, I'm kind of nervous to take the big exam when I'm older! It covers such a wide range of reading, writing, listening and language skills at a really high level. My sister says doing lots of timed practice tests and learning test strategies was key to getting a high score. She alsohad to spend months reviewing grammar rules, growing her vocabulary, and practicing how to read difficult academic passages efficiently.Well, I've got about 8 more years until I'll be worrying about the Anhui Associate's Degree Admission Exam. But I'll be sure to start preparing nice and early by reading all the books I can, practicing my writing, and listening to English audio like podcasts and shows. Who knows, maybe I'll even start making up my own tricky grammar questions to quiz my friends! Gotta stay one step ahead of that scary English test. Wish me luck, and let me know if you need any other kid-friendly exam explanations!篇4English Exams for Upgrading to a Bachelor's Degree in Anhui ProvinceHi friends! I'm going to tell you all about the English exams that students in Anhui province have to take if they want to upgrade from a junior college to a bachelor's degree program. It's a pretty big deal because getting a bachelor's degree can help you get a better job later on. My older brother is trying to do this, so I've learned a lot about it.The English exam is just one part of the big test they have to take. There are other subjects too like math, politics, and computer skills. But English is a really important one, especially these days when knowing English can open up so many opportunities. That's why a lot of students study really hard to prepare for the English section.From what I've seen, the English exams always have a few different parts to test your skills. There is usually a listening comprehension section where you have to listen to recordings and answer questions about what you heard. My brother says those can be really tricky because the recordings use all kinds of accents and idioms. You really have to focus!Then there is a reading comprehension part with long passages that you need to read and answer questions about. The passages are on all sorts of topics like science, culture, global issues, and more. The questions ask specific details about the main ideas, the author's purpose, vocabulary in context, and making inferences. My brother underlines key details and take notes in the margins as he reads to help him remember important points.There is also a section to test your English writing skills. You usually have to write one longer essay on a given topic,demonstrating your ability to develop and support ideas with examples and reasoning. Proper grammar, vocabulary, organization and style are all evaluated. For this part, my brother practices outlining his essays and checking them over carefully.The last part is English grammar and vocabulary. This covers all the nitty-gritty rules of English, like verb tenses, parts of speech, sentence structures, and tons of vocabulary words. You have to know prefixes, roots, idioms, the whole nine yards! My brother has thick grammar books that he studies from.It sounds really hard, doesn't it? That's because it is! The students have to prepare super seriously for months. A lot of them take extra tutoring classes or join study groups in addition to their regular classes. They take a bunch of practice tests to get ready too.The exam is offered once per year, usually in late spring. Tens of thousands of students take it across Anhui province. My brother said the exam rooms are always completely silent except for the scratching of pencils. When each section starts, the tension is so high you could hear a pin drop!After the exam, the scores are given out a couple months later. You need a really high combined score from all sections to be eligible to upgrade to a bachelor's degree program. Just theEnglish section alone is weighted heavily. My brother is hoping to get one of the limited spots available. I've got my fingers crossed for him!Those are some of the key English exams that Anhui students have to master in order to move up to a four-year university degree. As you can see, the exams are no joke! They really put your entire English skills to the ultimate test.I remember a few years ago, my brother was studying some past exams to practice. The reading passages were crazy long and complex, filled with advanced vocabulary. And the grammar questions? Forget about it! I couldn't even understand what some of them were asking.One reading was all about the effects of drought on developing nations. Another was about archaeological digs and analyzing ancient artifacts. No joke, the questions were things like: "What can be inferred about the author's perspective on the value of material objects in understanding early human civilizations?" Um, what?!The listening sections weren't any easier. Try listening to a debate between professors about existential philosophy andsimultaneously anwering篇5Anhui Upgrading Tests - Totally Not Boring!Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you all about the Anhui upgrading from junior college to regular college English tests. I know, I know, tests sound super duper boring. But trust me, these ones are kind of fun! Well, as fun as a test can be anyway.Every year, lots of students in Anhui take these big important tests to try and get into a regular 4-year university from their junior colleges. The tests have all the normal subjects like math, Chinese, and whatever. But the English part is what I want to talk about today!The English tests are pretty long, but they have some neat sections. One part has reading passages where you read some stories or articles and then answer comprehension questions. That's kind of like what we do in class, but the passages are a bit harder. There are usually topics about science, history, culture, and other cool things.Then there are sections testing your vocabulary and grammar skills. Vocabulary is just fancy words for learning new English words. The grammar parts have questions on stuff likeverbs, adjectives, using prepositions properly, and all those grammar rules our teachers are always going on about.But my favorite part, and I bet it will be your favorite too, is the writing section! You have to write a short essay of around 100-150 words on a certain topic or prompt. How fun is that? One year the prompt was "If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?" I would totally pick flying so I could soar over the schoolyard during recess.Anyway, enough about what's on the tests. You're probably wondering - what are the actual test questions and answers? Well, I can't spill all the beans and give away all the questions and answers. That wouldn't be fair! But I can give you an example or two to show you what it's like.Here's a sample reading comprehension question from last year's test:"According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about photosynthesis?A) It occurs only in plantsB) It requires carbon dioxide and waterC) It happens during the nightD) It releases oxygen into the air"The answer is B - photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil for plants to make their own food. Told you there would be some sciencey topics!For the grammar section, here's an example question:"Sally ___ to the park every Saturday.A) goB) goesC) goingD) gone"You probably know this one - the right answer is B) goes. Because Sally is just one person, not plural, so we use "goes" and not "go".As for the writing part, you'll just have to use your creativity and writing skills. Maybe the prompt will be "Describe your favorite holiday and why you enjoy it." Then you can write all about how you love Christmas because of the yummy cookies and opening presents!Well, that's a glimpse into what these Anhui upgrading tests are like. They have reading, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and all that good stuff to test your English skills. Just remember to study hard, get a good night's sleep before the test, and don't stress too much! You'll do great.If you work really hard and pass these tests, who knows? Maybe you'll get to go to a fancy university and become a scientist, writer, English teacher or whatever you want to be! The sky's the limit when you learn English well. Just keep practicing and having fun with it. After all, English can take you lots of cool places!Okay, that's all from me today. Let me know if you have any other questions about these tests. But for now, snack time!篇6English Past Papers and Answers for the Anhui College Entrance Exam - A Kid's ViewHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I love learning English and I really want to go to a great university someday. My big sister is currently preparing for the Anhui College Entrance Examination for students who already have anassociate's degree. She's been studying really hard for the English part of the test.I got curious about what kinds of English questions are on the exam, so I asked her to show me some past papers. The questions look pretty hard for a 4th grader like me, but I'll do my best to explain them in simple terms!The reading section seems really tough. There are usually4-5 long passages about different topics like science, history, culture and more. The passages have lots of big vocabulary words that even my sister had to look up in the dictionary. After each passage, there are 10-15 comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas, details, writer's purpose and other tricky things.For example, one passage was about the history of the Silk Road trade routes across Asia and the Middle East. The questions asked things like "According to the passage, what was one major effect of the Silk Road?" and "The author implies that the Silk Road led to ___ between different cultures." I got lost just reading the passage, never mind answering those confusing questions!The listening section doesn't look much easier for a little kid like me. You have to listen to recordings of lectures, conversations, and other materials, then answer comprehensionquestions similar to the reading questions. Just reading the transcript for one lecture about black holes made my head spin. How am I supposed to understand all that advanced physics and astronomy?But my favorite part is the writing section because I love creative writing! For this part, you have to write an essay of a certain length responding to an opinion prompt. One previous prompt asked whether students should be required to learn an international language like English or if it's better to focus only on your native language.I would write all about how learning English opens up the world and lets you make friends from everywhere. You can read awesome books and watch cool movies and TV shows from America and Britain. Plus, you can travel anywhere without getting lost because English is spoken in so many places! But I can see there could be arguments for just sticking to your mother tongue too.The last part is the translation section where you have to translate sentences between Chinese and English in both directions. This is probably the hardest part for me since I'm still learning lots of vocabulary, grammar, and idiomatic expressionsin both languages. Things like slang, metaphors, and cultural references can be super tricky to translate accurately.Well, that's my amateur kid's summary of what the Anhui associate's degree English entrance exam is like. Just explaining it makes me feel exhausted, so I have a ton of respect for my hard-working sister and everyone else preparing for this challenging test. I'll just be over here reading Harry Potter and watching Peppa Pig to slowly build up my English skills. Someday I'll be ready to tackle that crazy difficult exam myself!。

They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones.The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula (狼蛛). They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes (玻璃窗) because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.46.

He grew up in the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen nameof “Mark Twain”. The two novels brought him his greatest fame: Toni Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Tw ain’s life as a writer started. At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, was an immediate success and his new life began.In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with his wife even before he met her. His wife had a greet influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire （讽刺文学，讽刺）and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was then 74 years old.51.

However, in primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of good. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, salt, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn’t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper m oney in the form of bills, which are really “promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money” in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56. “Barter” (Line 2, Paragraph l) here means.A. exchanging goods for moneyB. exchanging goods for goodsC. exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD. exchanging money for goods57. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A. Because they were durable and portable.B. Because they were recognizable.C. Because they were divisible.D. All of the above.58. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them .A. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries59. “Promises to pay” (Line 6, Paragraph 2) means.A. possibilities to payB. necessities to payC. obligations to payD. opportunities to pay60. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is .A. suitableB. possibleC. necessaryD. avoidableTask 4 (3 points each; 15 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.61 through No.65).In most lectures, several main ideas are presented. These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember. Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an “umbrella” covering the other main concepts. The students' job, then, is to pick out the main concepts, including the “umbrella” idea.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction. Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella” idea are briefly presented in the introduction; often they are not. Next comes the body of the lecture. It is here that the several main concepts are always presented. The final part of a lecture, the conclusion, is traditionally a summary of the main concepts. This is alsothe place where the “umbrella” idea can most easily be repeated, restated, or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized, with a clear-cut beginning, middle and end, the main ideas are usually easy to pick out. When a lecture is not well organized, getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult. Some lecturers are “long-winded”, taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on (杂乱地漫谈) and never seem to come to the point at all.61. While listening to a lecture, the students are expected to remember .62. A lecture is usually made up of three parts- , and according to this passage.63. Sometimes, both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction. 64．A lecture with a neatly-planned , and is said to be a well organized lecture.65. The summary is in _ of a lecture and it is also the place where the is mostly mentioned again.Ⅳ.

Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 to No.50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day, As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the International Date Line.By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow. 46.Strange things happen to time when you travel because _______ A.no day really has twenty-four hours B.the earth is divided into time zones C.time zones are not all the same size D.no one knows where time zones begin 47.The time difference between two neighboring zones is ________ A.one dayB.twenty-five hoursC.one hourD.twenty-three hours48.According to paragraph 2, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean______A.is one time zoneB.is divided into five time zonesC.is divided into twenty-four time zonesD.cannot be crossed in five days49.If you cross the ocean going east, you set your clock______A.ahead one hour in each new time zoneB.ahead one hour for the whole tripC.back one hour in each new time zoneD.back one hour for the whole trip 50.The International Date Line is the name for ______ A.the beginning of any new time zone B.any point where time changes by one hour C.the point where a new day starts D.any time zone in the Pacific Ocean Task 2 Directions: This task (No.51 to 55) is the same as Task1 Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and naturalgas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer. Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source. Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power. 51.The best title for this passage may be ________ A.The Importance of Electricity B.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil Fuels C.The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD.Means of Making Electrical Power 52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passage? A.Wind power B.Fossil fuelsC.Solar powerD.Water power 53.We can infer from the passagethat _________ A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely used B.wind power is a widespread way to make electricity C.energy problems will soon be solved D.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing 54.What does the underlined word “drawback”(in Para.3)mean? A.effect B.advantage C.disadvantage D.concern 55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricity B.Not all the areas could use wind power. C.Solar energy costs the most ing nuclear energy will not produce negative effect. Task 3 Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1. A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems. More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death. But the outlook for healtheducation in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. 56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______ A.why people neglect their health B.what people know about health C.when to provide health education D.who is more likely to become ill 57.Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for cold? A.They can cure common cold. B.Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them. C.About 51% of the patients take them. D.Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily. 58.According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____. A.only nicotine leads to cancer B.few people will get cancer C.”light ”cigarettes make people healthy D.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer 59.About ______ of Taiwanese adults smoke A.one-third B.two-thirds C.a half D.a quarter 60.The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns. A.senior citizens B.middle –aged citizens C.younger Taiwanese D.Taiwanese smokers Task 4 Directions: The following is a business letter. After reading it , you should answer each of the 5 questions (No.61 to No.65)in no than 3 words. The answers should be written after the corresponding number on the Answer Sheet.

安徽专升本英语真题试卷及解析一、阅读理解阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AIn the early 1800s, American scientists were not just interested in the plants and animals of North America; they were also interested in the American Indian people. Many scientists who studied the Indians observed that Native American tribes were disappearing. They believed that the Indians would not be able to survive if they continued to live as they had for centuries, so they proposed that the government remove the Native Americans from their lands and teach them how to live like white people.One scientist who proposed this idea was Lewis Henry Morgan. In his 1851 book, "The League of the Iroquois," Morgan described the Native American cultures of the Iroquois Confederacy. He compared the Iroquois to the ancient Greeks and Romans, extolling (赞美)their achievements and the strengths of their social structure. Then he argued that the Iroquois could not maintain this way of life if they did not come into contact with white civilization. Morgan argued that the government should intervene and educate the Native Americans so that they could adopt white culture and become part of American society. He believed that by doing so, the Native Americans could be "saved" from extinction.1. In the 1800s, American scientists were interested in ___________.A. the history of American Indian peopleB. the disappearance of American Indian tribesC. the plants and animals of North AmericaD. the achievements of the Iroquois Confederacy2. According to Lewis Henry Morgan, Native American cultures could not ___________.A. be compared to ancient Greek and Roman culturesB. exist without contact with white civilizationC. maintain their strength and achievementsD. survive without the government's interventionBIf you are in need of a new job, you might decide to take a look online. Whether you are a first-time job seeker or a job seeker looking for a career change, there is good news. That good news is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of job listings and job search websites out there. However, the bad news is that there are also as many job seekers like you who are applying for the same jobs.When looking for a job online, you will find some websites that don't charge you for accessing their information. These types of websites are often referred to as career building or job search websites. These types of websites should be the first stop of all job seekers. They allow you to search jobs without having to pay a fee. The only downside is that most of thesewebsites only have job listings available for one area, like the New York area. However, you should still be able to find enough job listings to give you hope or at least a start.3. According to the passage, why are there so many job seekers applying for the same jobs online?A. The job search websites are not charging a fee.B. There are hundreds of job listings available online.C. There are thousands of job search websites available.D. The career building websites provide great job opportunities.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. You will be able to find a job in any area.B. Job listings of career building websites are limited.C. All the job listings are available for free.D. There are job search websites charging for accessing job information.答案及解析：1. B。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(宠爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy woul d want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her tolive in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son in law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My LandladyB. The BoarderC. Family Relationships in CanadaD. Nursing Homes and the AgedPassage 2Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as a zebra crossing. They are more efficient although lessconvenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.69. The underlined words “a zebra crossing” probably mean ______.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for older people to rest in70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a littledifficult.C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage 3There was a time when，if a lady got into a crowded bus or train，a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now，things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy，hide behind his newspaper. Either way，the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners，though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men，not just equality in jobs or education，but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人) unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts，that is perhaps not such a bad idea.It’s no wonder，then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand，the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women，so that men can see women as equal human beings，rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would probably______ .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is______ .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be______ .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is Not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From this passage, we know that______ .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry if you’re polite to themD. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage 4Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their ch ildren will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillfulencouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does th e author mean by “‘Family’ is of course an elastic word”?A. Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D. Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband’s duty is______ .A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family______ .A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80. With regard to marriage in Britain, present day girls differ from former time girls in______ .A. the right to marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart Ⅳ Translation (1.5×10 points)Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section.

spider,which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛).They can bite,and the bite is painful,but it will not kill a grown-up.The

literature is better known or more loved than Amuel Lang home Chemens born in1835.He grew up in the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of“Mark Twain”.The two novels brought him his greatest fame:Toni Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book,Life on the Mississippi,told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started.At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California.His short story,The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,was an immediate success and his new life began.In1870,Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon.He had fallen in love with his wife even before he met her.His wife had a greet influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer.His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works.They are marked by humor and satire（讽刺刺⽂文学，讽刺刺）and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time.

However,in primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of good.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth,shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable,durable, recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content.Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a world where “money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56.“Barter”(Line2,Paragraph l)here means.A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchanging goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods57.Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A.Because they were durable and portable.B.Because they were recognizable.C.Because they were divisible.D.All of the above.58.Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them.A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries59.“Promises to pay”(Line6,Paragraph2)means.A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay60.A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is.A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableTask4(3points each;15points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task l(No.61through No.65).In most lectures,several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember.Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an“umbrella”covering the other main concepts.The students'job,then,is to pick out the main concepts, including the“umbrella”idea.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella”idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented.The final part of a lecture,the conclusion,is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is alsothe place where the“umbrella”idea can most easily be repeated,restated,or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized,with a clear-cut beginning,middle and end,the main ideas are usually easy to pick out.When a lecture is not well organized,getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are“long-winded”,taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,and according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction. 64．A lecture with a neatly-planned,and is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_of a lecture and it is also the place where the is mostly mentioned again.Ⅳ.Translation(35points)Section ADirections:Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all.)66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.Of all living things,only human beings can choose.where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.Section BDirections:Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all.)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精⼒力力⼲干他喜欢的事了了。

Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day, As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow. things happen to time when you travel because _______ day really has twenty-four hours earth is divided into time zones zones are not all the same size one knows where time zones begin time difference between two neighboring zones is ________ day hours hour hours to paragraph2, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean______ one time zone divided into five time zones divided into twenty-four time zones be crossed in five days you cross the ocean going east, you set your clock______ one hour in each new time zone one hour for the whole trip one hour in each new time zone one hour for the whole trip International Date Line is the name for ______ beginning of any new time zone point where time changes by one hour point where a new day starts time zone in the Pacific Ocean Task 2 Directions: This task to 55) is the same as Task1 Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer. Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the comes from this source. Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power. best title for this passage may be ________ Importance of Electricity Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil Fuels Advantage of Using Nuclear Energy of Making Electrical Power energy has damage to us according to the passage powerfuels power power can infer from the passage that _________ fossil fuels to make electricity is widely used power is a widespread way to make electricity problems will soon be solved energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing does the underlined word “drawback”(in mean of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricity all the areas could use wind power. energy costs the most nuclear energy will not produce negative effect. Task 3 Directions: This task to is the same as Task 1. A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems. More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light”cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death. But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. purpose of the survey is to find out _______ people neglect their health people know about health to provide health education is more likely to become ill of the following is TRUE about medicines for cold can cure common cold. often discourage the patients from taking them. 51% of the patients take them.

Dear Mr. Robert, Although we sent you your goods on time, we have waited nearly two months for you to pay the balance of $5000, which is over due. When you ordered the shipment of computers, you requested that we send you the entire order no later than June 1, and we shipped the goods by air freight on May 25. As you agreed in our original credit arrangement (赊账协议), payment was due in 30 days, on June 30. Yet, as it is already August 26, we still have not received your payment.

If you want to receive postcards from other members ,you should e-mail a postcard to the address sent by the website after registration(注册) .

In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message. The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme(主题)of the message. It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation. Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information . Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension . Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners. Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough . Active thinking must take place all the way through . In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage is most possible taken from ______ .A．a novel B．a textbook C．a news report D．a fashion magazine（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：(2).What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．How to think actively in listening comprehension.B．How to develop specific readiness before listening.C．The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D．The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D. √解析：(3).The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ______ .A．the listener's emotionB．the difficulty of the messageC．the listener's communicative skillsD．The listener's familiarity with the topic（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D. √解析：(4).In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ______ . A．do some vocabulary workB．think about the topicC．read some related materialD．discuss the topic with others（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：(5).What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension? A．Neutral. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Critical.（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：Passage 4When men get stick，they act like babies ，say women . But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guys ——it could save their lives，say researchers at the University of Michigan. When women have a heart attack ,they're more likely to put off seeking help the men ,and after an attack,they're less likely to take steps to improve their health . What's the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem are simply not a big deal .
