Reading Comprehension(60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A ,B ,C andD. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle thatconsists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platformto the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip (扭转把手) on theleft handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope (陀螺仪) detects yourmovements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a《英语》第3页共10页maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoywalks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as analternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take thedog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers tomove quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming acommon sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism,particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outsidea cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of touristspassing on Segways.() 36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.() 37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope() 38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km() 39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or fromthe traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazingThese types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals — and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snowslide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力 ) and endurance.《英语》第4页共10页A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during"down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent ( 气味 ) andthen follow t he scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped undercollapsed buildings and snow slide.() 40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight() 41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.

Sound effects are of three kinds: real, imitated and recorded .Real sounds are those of doorbells, telephone bells, and other small objectseasy to keep in a studio . But the sound man must imitate many sounds . For baconfryin9 ,he crumples cellophanepaper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder?He taps one rubbersink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement . For a horse galloping along a gravel road ,the sound man can use thetwo halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage .He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing , a train leaving a station , and a baby crying .The sound man is an important part of any television production .( )44.

Recorded sound effects are used for a_______?A. train leaving a stationB. baby cryingC. rooster crowingD. all of the abovePassage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel thatare looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than menfor the same work. People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men ) have ananswer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women ; a marriedman is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the importantdecision ,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some peoplewho hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working atall. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children are given noattention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job , theywill be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home andbringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want toescapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life , or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying ,“ Al menare created equal. ”They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “ allhuman being arecreated equal. ”( )48. The women use the phrase “ equal pay for equal work d emand”tothat _____.A. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same workD. people doing harder work should earn more( )49.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up ?A.

The word college is used to refer to either a college or auniversity. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) orBachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-yearprogram) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore ( 二年级生 ) or junior ( 三年级生 ). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequir e strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well asspecificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require suchadvanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Somehave full-timejobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years tocomplete a four-yearprogram because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student ’ s time, moststill enjsocial activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gatheringtogether for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university isprobably the most popularactivity.( )53.

[专升本类试卷]浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷100 I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5 th grade English teacher correctyour grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting(稍纵即逝的)thought, the thoughtwill die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking what it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls "free writing. " In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15 -20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.1 When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind "cannot work in parallel"(Line 4, Para. 1)in the writing process, he means ______.(A)no one can be both creative and critical(B)they cannot be regarded as equally important(C)they are in constant conflict with each other(D)one cannot use them at the same time2 What prevents people from writing on is ______.(A)putting their ideas in raw form(B)attempting to edit as they write(C)ignoring grammatical soundness(D)trying to capture fleeting thoughts3 What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?(A)To organize one's thoughts logically.(B)To choose an appropriate topic.(C)To get one's ideas down.(D)To collect raw materials.4 One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that______. (A)it overstresses the role of the creative mind(B)it takes too much time to edit afterwards(C)it may bring about too much criticism(D)it does not help them to think clearly5 In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?(A)It refines his writing into better shape.(B)It helps him to come up with new ideas.(C)It saves the writing time available to him.(D)It allows him to sit on the side and observe.5 As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. Theline of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious(有营养的)foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs. Both types have simply been called "well". In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "wellness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap(缺陷)may be "well," in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.6 Today medical care is placing more stress on______.(A)keeping people in a healthy physical condition(B)monitoring patients' body functions(C)removing people's bad living habits(D)ensuring people's psychological well-being7 In the first paragraph, people are reminded that______.(A)good health is more than not being ill(B)drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful(C)regular health checks are essential to keeping fit(D)prevention is more difficult than cure8 Traditionally, a person is considered "well" if he______.(A)does not have any unhealthy living habits(B)does not have any physical handicaps(C)is able to handle his daily routines(D)is free from any kind of disease9 According to the author, the true meaning of "wellness" is for people______. (A)to best satisfy their body's special needs(B)to strive to maintain the best possible health(C)to meet the strictest standards of bodily health(D)to keep a proper balance between work and leisure10 According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?(A)People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.(B)People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.(C)People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.(D)People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.10 Every living thing has an inner biological clock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time; even when there are no outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals when to eat, sleep and wake. It controls body temperature, the release of some hormones(荷尔蒙)and even dreams. These natural daily events are circadian(生理节奏的)rhythms.Man has known about them for thousands of years. But the first scientific observation of circadian rhythms was not made until 1729. In that year French astronomer, Jean-Jacques d'Ortous de Mariran, noted that one of his plants opened its leaves at the same time every morning, and closed them at the same time every night. The plant did this even when he kept it in a dark place all the time. Later scientists wondered about circadian rhythms in humans. They learned that man's biological clock actually keeps time with a day of a little less than 25 hours instead of the 24 hours hours on a man-made clock.About four years ago, an American doctor, Eliot Weitzman, established a laboratory to study how our biological clock works. The people in his experiments are shut off from the outside world. They are free to listen to and live by their circadian rhythms. Dr. Weitzman hopes his research will lead to effective treatments for common sleep problems and sleep disorders caused by ageing and mental illness. In the first four years of research, Dr. Weitzman and his assistant have observed 16 men between the ages of 21and 80. The men remained in the laboratory for as long as six months. Dava Sobol became the first woman to take part in the experiment. She entered the laboratory on June 13th and stayed for 25 days. Miss Sobol wrote reports about the experiment during that time, which was published in the newspaper.11 The biological clock is believed to play an essential role in______.(A)the regulation of body temperature(B)the secretion of hormones(C)animal reproductions(D)many aspects of plant and animal physiology12 In his observation, the French scientist noticed that the leaves of a certain plant maintained its opening-and-closing cycles______ .(A)even when it was kept in a murky(黑暗)place all day(B)even if it was placed in the moonlight(C)even when he was observing it from a dark place(D)even during the night time13 The sentence "They are free to listen to and live by their circadian rhythms. "(Line 3, Para. 3)probably means______.(A)they can lead their daily lives according to their biological clocks, without referring to a man-made clock(B)they can listen to the wonderful rhythms of the biological clock and live close to them(C)they can live by regulating their own circadian rhythms(D)they are free from the annoying rhythms of everyday life14 In the experiment conducted by Mr. Weitzman, ______.(A)They just find it is interesting(B)They try to find a solution for sleeping problems(C)They intend to control the circadian rhythm(D)They attempt to describe the unusual behavior of common people15 Miss Sobol left the laboratory______.(A)on June 13th(B)on June 25th(C)at the end of June(D)on July 7th15 Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree, is by his success raising new doubts about the worth of the business world's favorite academic title: the MBA(Master of Business Administration).The MBA, a 20th-century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed(贪婪)on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates, about 129,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 2011. This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960, a testimony to the wide spreadassumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day." If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have one," said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. "But in the last five years or so, when someone says, ' Should I attempt to get an MBA,' the answer a lot more is: It depends. "The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. , has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught.The Harvard Business Review printed a lively, fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders.The article called MBA hires "extremely disappointing" and said "MBAs want to move up too fast, they don't understand politics and people, and they aren't able to function as part of a team until their third year. But by then, they're out looking for other jobs. "The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is that the MBA has acquired an aura(光环)of future riches and power far beyond its actual importance and usefulness.Enrollment in business schools exploded in the 1970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do without one. The growth was fueled by a backlash(反冲)against the anti-business values of the 1960s and by the women's movement.Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees of ten know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people. "They don't get a lot of grounding in the people side of the business" , said James Shaffer, vice-president and principal of the Towers Perrin management consulting firm.16 According to Paragraph 2, what is the general attitude towards business on campuses dominated by purer disciplines?(A)Scornful.(B)Appreciative.(C)Envious.(D)Realistic.17 It seems that the controversy over the value of MBA degrees had been fueled mainly by______.(A)the complaints from various employers(B)the success of many non-MBAs(C)the criticism from the scientists of purer disciplines(D)the poor performance of MBAs at work18 What is the major weakness of MBA holders according to the Harvard Business Review?(A)They are usually self-centered.(B)They are aggressive and greedy.(C)They keep complaining about their jobs.(D)They are not good at dealing with people.19 From the passage we know that most MBAs______.(A)can climb the corporate ladder fairly quickly(B)quit their jobs once they are familiar with their workmates(C)receive salaries that do not match their professional training(D)cherish unrealistic expectations about their future20 What is the passage mainly about?(A)Why there is an increased enrollment in MBA programs.(B)The necessity of reforming MBA programs in business schools.(C)Doubts about the worth of holding an MBA degree.(D)A debate held recently on university campuses.20 Lifestyle is the way a person lives; it includes work, leisure time, hobbies, other interests, and personal philosophy. One person's lifestyle may be dominated by work with few social activities. Another's may involve hobbies, recreational activities or personal philosophy.There is little doubt that lifestyles are changing and that these changes will have an impact on the way business operates in the years ahead. Several cases are causing lifestyle changes in some developed countries.First, there is more leisure time than ever before. The workweek is now less than forty hours, as compared with seventy hours a century ago. Some experts believe it will be twenty-five hours or less in a few decades. Several firms have adopted four-day workweeks with more hours per day. Others have cut down on the number of working hours each week. Reduced work schedules mean increased leisure time.Second, families have fewer children than before—and young couples are postponing childbirth instead of having children early in the marriage. This trend has forced many businesses to modify their competitive strategies. Gerber Products Company used to advertise " babies are our business—our only business". Now Gerber products include infant and toddler clothing, stuffed animals and accessories such as bottles, baby powder and so on.Third, people are better educated and more prosperous now than they were earlier. These advantages bring with them the freedom to question current lifestyles and examine new ones. Inquiries of this nature have sometimes led to personal lifestyle changes. Today's youth, for example, are not only better educated but more independent and individualistic(我行我素的)than past generations.The business world is only beginning to realize how people's lifestyles can influence their behavior as employees, consumers and members of society.21 How many hours did people work a century ago according to the passage?22 Why have some businesses dealing with baby items changed their promotion strategies?23 Why are the people in some developed countries more critical about their lifestyles?24 What does the writer say about today's young people?25 Why is it important for the business world to realize the changes in people's lifestyles?25 This year the world's population ticked over to 7 billion.【R1】______They forecast dramatic changes unless significant steps are taken to control population growth. Here are some challenges a population of 7 billion must confront.Water is probably going to be the first real threat that we bump into. Access to fresh water becomes incredibly difficult. We're seeing the impacts of overuse of water resources and that sort of pressure mounts as the world population increases. 【R2】______What we're putting into the atmosphere is going to lead to changes that haven't been seen in millions of years. As the whole world warms up, a lot of places become very unpleasant to live in.【R3】______We have to find less polluting sources of energy and be much more careful in the way that we make use of the remaining non-renewable fuels we've got. If we continue to tap the resources to meet the immediate economic demands,the supplies will run out in time. We still can't imagine that one day we have to run the world from renewable energy resources.【R4】______We've got some major health problems with the medical services to actually attack the diseases of old age. But the real problem is that the world population is growing fastest in the developing countries. How can we cope with a double of the population when they're already dirt poor and only just getting enough to live on?【R5】______Is it all doom and gloom(前景暗淡)as the experts suggest, or do we have a brighter future?A. Challenges range from water shortages to rising sea levels.B. Experts have painted a depressing future for life on Earth.C. All countries in the world will face the challenge of population ageing.D.

The challenge of meeting the food needs of its ever-growing population is enormous.G. There will be much hotter temperatures, summer-time heat stress and rising sea levels.26 【R1】27 【R2】28 【R3】29 【R4】30 【R5】30 A coeducational(男女合校的)school offers children nothing less than a tree version of society in miniature(缩影). Boys and girls are given the【R6】______to getto know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of【R7】______ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical【R8】______it is(to give just a small example)to beable to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are clevererthan girls or vice versa. When【R9】______, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its【R10】______place. The greatest contribution of coeducation is【R11】______the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don't grow up believing that women are【R12】______creatures. Girls don't grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school remove illusions of this kind. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and【R13】______problems involved in growing up. These can better be【R14】______in a coeducational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to【R15】______society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.A. advantageB. properC. rewardedD. emotionalE. opportunityF. activityG. overcomeH. academicI. enter J. mysterious K. eventually L. segregatedM. undoubtedly N. principle O. advocate31 【R6】32 【R7】33 【R8】34 【R9】35 【R10】36 【R11】37 【R12】38 【R13】39 【R14】40 【R15】一、Cloze40 Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They are left in the【C1】______of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their【C2】______children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any【C3】______visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth—an 【C4】______story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care【C5】______elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied【C6】______the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the【C7】______Americancouple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. 【C8】______, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years【C9】______, family members must provide long term care. More psychologists have found that all caregivers【C10】______a common characteristic: All caregivers believe that they are the best【C11】______for the job. In other words, they all felt that they【C12】______do the job better than anyone else. Social workers【C13】______caregivers to find out why they took【C14】______the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had【C15】______to help their relative. Some stated that helping others【C16】______them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping【C17】______now, they would deserve care when they became old and【C18】______Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a【C19】______satisfying experience for everyone who might be【C20】______41 【C1】(A)hands(B)arms(C)bodies(D)homes42 【C2】(A)growing(B)grown(C)grow(D)grows43 【C3】(A)constant (B)lasting (C)regular (D)normal44 【C4】(A)imaginary (B)imaginable (C)imaginative (D)imagery 45 【C5】(A)that(B)this(C)those (D)these46 【C6】(A)when (B)how (C)what (D)where 47 【C7】(A)common (B)ordinary (C)standard (D)average 48 【C8】(A)Still (B)However (C)Moreover (D)Whereas 49 【C9】(A)before (B)ago (C)later (D)lately 50 【C10】(A)share (B)enjoy (C)divide (D)consent 51 【C11】(A)person (B)people (C)character (D)man52 【C12】(A)would(B)will(C)could (D)can53 【C13】(A)questioned (B)interviewed (C)inquired (D)interrogate 54 【C14】(A)in(B)up(C)on(D)off55 【C15】(A)admiration (B)initiative(C)necessity (D)obligation 56 【C16】(A)cause (B)enable (C)make (D)get57 【C17】(A)someone (B)anyone (C)everyone (D)anybody 58 【C18】(A)elderly (B)dependent (C)dependable(D)independent59 【C19】(A)similarly(B)differently(C)mutually(D)certainly60 【C20】(A)involved(B)excluded(C)included(D)consideredSection ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.60 There are many skilled trades or technical jobs, usually involving work with tools or machines, frequently called "blue-collar" positions.66)<u>People who are attracted to realistic jobs are usually robust, practical, physically strong and frequently competitive in outlook.</u> They usually have good physical coordination, but sometimes they have trouble expressing themselves in words or while talking with others. 67)<u>They prefer to deal with things rather than with ideas or with people.</u> They enjoy creating things with their hands. 68)<u>They have good motor coordination, but they are frequently uncomfortable in social settings, and lackverbal and interpersonal skills.</u> 69)<u>They usually see themselves as mechanically and athletically inclined and are stable, natural and persistent.</u> They prefer concrete to abstract problems. 70)<u>Realistic people tend to see the world in simple, tangible and traditional terms.</u> Possessions are important to them, and they usually put their recreational money into cars, boats, motorcycles or in other machinery.61 People who are attracted to realistic jobs are usually robust, practical, physically strong and frequently competitive in outlook.62 They prefer to deal with things rather than with ideas or with people.63 They have good motor coordination, but they are frequently uncomfortable in social settings, and lack verbal and interpersonal skills.64 They usually see themselves as mechanically and athletically inclined and are stable, natural and persistent.65 Realistic people tend to see the world in simple, tangible and traditional terms.Section BDirections: Translate the following Chinese into English.66 ______(似乎他的老板老是找他的麻烦), which makes him quite upset.67 ______(大多数父母所关心的)is providing the best education possible for their children.68 ______(除了照顾两个孩子), she also has a full time job.69 The police has been trying to______(查出死于车祸的女人的身份).70 The anti-virus agent was not known______(直到一名医生偶然发现了它).二、Writing71 For this part, you are given 30 minutes to write an essay to comment on Should We Please Everybody?

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C andD. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try aSegway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platformbetween two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you stepup onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. Thisvaries the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn theSegway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has amaximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to thegolf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.()36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.()37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope()38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km()39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.()40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight()41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Courageous.B. Slow.C. Energetic.D. Cowardly.()42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Extraordinary smelling.B. Swift movement.C. Sharp hearing.D. A strong memory.()43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.C. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeDuring a television play the sound man must be ready to make every sound as it is needed.Sound effects are of three kinds:real,imitated and recorded.Real sounds are those of doorbells,telephone bells,and other small objects easy to keep in a studio.But the sound man must imitate many sounds.For bacon fryin9,he crumples cellophane paper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder?He taps one rubber sink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement.For a horse galloping along a gravel road,the sound man can use the two halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage.He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing, a train leaving a station,and a baby crying.The sound man is an important part of any television production.( )44. The sound man is important because he________?A. makes fl TV play more lifelikeB. is kept busyC. 1ets an actor know when to life a telephone receiverD. is always learning new methods( )45.

Recorded sound effects are used for a_______?A. train leaving a stationB. baby cryingC. rooster crowingD. all of the abovePassage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are lookeddown upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work.People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that menhave more responsibility than women;a married man is expected to earn money to support hisfamily and to make the important decision,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. Thereare some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women workingat all. When wives go out to work,they say,the home and children are given no attention to. Ifwomen are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job,they will be unable to do the things.Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want to escapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life,or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying,“Al l men They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all h uman being are are created equal.” created equal.”demand that _____.( )48. The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work” toA. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same workD. people doing harder work should earn more( )49.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up?A. Their jobB. Their home lifeC. Their present position in societyD. Their right to pay( )50.People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____.A. men's responsibilities are different from women'sB. men can earn money more easily than womenC. women can't do what men canD. men have to work much harder than womenthat ___.( )51.

The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequire strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require suchadvanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-timejobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-yearprogram because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjo social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gatheringtogether for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university isprobably the most popular activity.( )53. College education is _______ in America.A. very rareB. quite commonC. something difficultD. almost impossible( )54. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools. A. entrance examinations B. college prep classes C. GPAD. taking part in many activities( )55. How can poor students attend private schools? A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs. C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.V.

[专升本类试卷]浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷30 Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move acrossa page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate(专注), we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop —the duration of the fixation —varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.1 The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except______. (A)one's familiarity with the text(B)one's purpose in reading(C)the length of a group of words(D)lighting and tiredness2 The author may believe that reading______.(A)requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation(B)requires a reader to see words more quickly(C)demands an deeply-participating mind(D)demands more mind than eyes3 What does the author mean by saying "but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. " in the second paragraph?(A)The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.(B)The reading exercises mentioned can't help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.(C)The reading exercises mentioned can't help to improve an efficient reading(D)The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one's ability to see words.4 Which of the following is NOT true?(A)The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.(B)Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.(C)The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.(D)The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.5 The tune of the author in writing this article is______.(A)critical(B)neutral(C)pessimistic(D)optimistic5 Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? If you think so, you're not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession."Energy independence" and its rhetorical(修辞的)companion "energy security" are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is atrickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive, massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.6 What does the author say about energy independence for America?(A)It sounds very attractive.(B)It ensures national security.(C)It will bring oil prices down.(D)It has long been everyone's dream.7 What does the author think of biofuels?(A)They keep America's economy running healthily. (B)They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum. (C)They do not provide a sustainable energy supply. (D)They cause serious damage to the environment.8 Why does America rely heavily on oil imports? (A)It wants to expand its storage of crude oil. (B)Its own oil reserves are quickly running out. (C)It wants to keep its own environment intact. (D)Its own oil production falls short of demand.9 What does the author say about oil trade?(A)It proves profitable to both sides.(B)It improves economic efficiency.(C)It makes for economic prosperity.(D)It saves the cost of oil exploration.10 What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?(A)To justify America's dependence on oil imports.(B)To arouse Americans' awareness of the energy crisis.(C)To stress the importance of energy conservation.(D)To explain the increase of international oil trade.10 Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of <u>over-consumption</u> in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged isof poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.11 What does the underlined phrase "<u>over-consumption</u>"(Line 4, Para. 1)refer to? (A)Using too much packaging.(B)Recycling too many wastes.(C)Making more products than necessary.(D)Having more material than is needed.12 The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show______.(A)the tendency of cutting household waste(B)the increase of packaging recycling(C)the rapid growth of supermarkets(D)the fact of packaging overuse13 According to the text, recycling______.(A)helps control the greenhouse effect(B)means burning packaging for energy(C)is the solution to gas shortage(D)leads to a waste of land14 What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?(A)Unpackaged products are of bad quality.(B)Supermarkets care more about packaging.(C)It is improper to judge quality by packaging.(D)Other products are better packaged than food.15 What can we learn from the last paragraph?(A)Fighting wastefulness is difficult.(B)Needless material is mostly recycled.(C)People like collecting recyclable waste.(D)The author is proud of their consumer culture.15 Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, "Versed"."I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win," said Armantrout." For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising. "Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for "Versed"." This book has gotten more attention," Armantrout said, " but I don't feel as if it's better. "The first half of "Versed" focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer, but many of her colleagues were not. "Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry," said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD."Versed" , published by the Wesley an University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.16 According to Rae Armantrout, ______.(A)her 10th book is much better(B)her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected(C)the media is surprised at her works(D)she likes being recognized by her readers17 Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?(A)She published a poetry textbook.(B)She used to teach Denise Levertov.(C)She started a poets' group with others.(D)She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.18 What can we learn about "Versed"?(A)It consists of three parts.(B)It is mainly about the American army.(C)It is a book published two decades ago.(D)It partly concerns the poet's own life.19 Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she______.(A)should write more(B)has a sweet voice(C)deserves the prize(D)is a strange professor20 What can we learn from the text?(A)About 2,700 copies of "Versed" will be printed.(B)Cancer made Armantrout stop writing.(C)Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD.(D)Versed has been awarded twice.20 Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions(使命)often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much aspossible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading materials for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some " web surfing(冲浪)" in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.21 How did the author describe the tight schedule for astronauts on shorter shuttle mission?22 Why do the astronauts in the space shuttle work five days and take two days off?23 When was internet available on the International Space Station?24 What is one of the most relaxing things to do in space, according to many astronauts?25 The passage mainly discusses how astronauts______25 Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企业家)in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile(敌意的)to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒).【R1】______Jealousy is sometimes known as the "green-eyed monster" and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.【R2】______Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of moneygiven to others - but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people testedagreed to do this.【R3】______But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourthlargest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People inthe UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are notlazy, either." It is not really success that the British dislike," says Carey Cooper, a professor ofmanagement at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. " It'speople using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates themfrom their roots. "【R4】______They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.【R5】______It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And morepeople want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were"unloved, unwanted and misunderstood."D. It is not tnie that British people are born jealous of others' success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.26 【R1】27 【R2】28 【R3】29 【R4】30 【R5】30 Have you ever wondered why winter is flu season—why people never seem to catch the disease in July and August?

"Each time a new planetary system forms, a few surviving microbes find their way into comets. These then multiply and seed other planets.

浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析) 全部题型 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Cloze 5. Translation 6. WritingReading ComprehensionA greenhouse is a building made of glass which is used for keeping plants warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”, and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us. The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in the greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimeters. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles there will be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between 1 and 4. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, these gases have greatly increased.1.“Greenhouse effect” means______.A.the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warmB.natural course which is to some degree helpful to usC.The way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earthD.The whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat正确答案:C解析:根据第一段第四行the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the“greenhouse effect”,可知“温室效应”是指把热量保留在大气的行为,故选C。

浙江省2019年选拔优秀高职高专毕业生进入本科学习统一考试知乎教育英语全真模拟(二模)Part I Reading Comprehension(60marks,60minutes)Section A(50marks:2marks for each item)Format IDirections:There are4passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the best choice.Passage oneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:The elephant was lying heavily on its side,fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The elephant woke up in a terrible anger:it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn’t stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati,the elephant princess.Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father,she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,"she says.But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun.“My work,”she says,“is to rescue man from the elephants,and to keep the elephants safe from man.”And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry:for many years,illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village,Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant.“Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans,”she said,as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant,happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!1.For Parbati,catching elephants is mainly to________.A.get long lasting excitementB.keep both man and elephants safeC.send them back to the jungleD.make the angry elephants tame2.what does“elephant tamer”mean?A.the man who feed elephantsB.the man who fight against elephantsC.the man who train elephants to do somethingD.the man who bring up elephants3.Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________.A.she spent her time hunting with her fatherB.she learned how to sing love songsC.she had already been called an elephant princessD.she was taught how to hunt tigers4.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because_______A.they are caught and sent for heavy workB.illegal hunters capture them and kill themC.they are attacked and their land gets limitedD.dogs often bark at them and chase them5.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India_____A.people easily fall victim to elephants’attacksB.the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC.elephant tamers are in short supplyD.dogs are as powerful as elephantsPassage twoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!”An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back----the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling(扭打)with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack-----The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.6.The brown bear approached the family in order to_______.A.catch shore birdsB.start an attackC.protect the childrenD.set up a barrier for itself7.The bear finally went away after it_______.A.felt safeB.got injuredC.found some foodD.took away the camera8.Why did the author fight against the brown bear instead of running away?A.Because the brown bear runs faster than menB.Because the brown bear was thin and smallC.Because the author thought he could win the battleD.Because the author had camera and tripod as arms9.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their______.A.prideB.patienceC.calmnessD.boldness10.What does the author want to say by telling us his story?A.The brown bear is easy to defeatB.The beach is very dangerous and do not play on beachC.Men are more powerful and intelligent than brown bearsD.Being clear-headed is very important when you are in dangerPassage threeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles(UCLA)have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.Until now,psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or-flight"reaction to stress.In other words,individuals either react with aggressive behavior,such as verbal or physical conflict("fight"),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation("flight"). However,the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress.While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response,women often have another kind of reaction which could be called"tend and befriend."That is,they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young("tend"),and by looking for social contact and support from others-especially other females('befriend").Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress,an important role is played by certain hormones released by the body.The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone.This hormone,called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of Fuldbirt.h,but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress.The principal investigator,Dr.Shelley E.Taylor,explained that"animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer,more relaxed,more social,and less anxious."While men also secrete(分泌)oxytocin,its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior,the UCLA study found that women are far.more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed.They may phone relatives or friends,or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work.The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother,coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tend-and-befriend regulatory system may protect women against stress,and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.11.The UCLA study shows that in response to stress,men are more likely than women to.A.turn to friends for helpB.solve a conflict calmlyC.find an escape from realityD.seek comfort from children12.Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.13.Which group is more likely to have high blood pressure?A.MenB.WomenC.Not mentionedD.Both men and women14.What can be learned from the passage?A.Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.15.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.How men and women get over stressB.How men and women suffer from stressC.How researchers overcome stress problemsD.How researchers handle stress-related disorders Passage fourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:This month,Germany’s transport minister,Alexander Dobrindt,proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆).They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the“death valley”of autonomous vehicles:the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things:that a car always chooses property damage over personal injury;that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race;and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel—to check email,say—the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,”says Dobrindt.It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers,he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers,consumers and lawyers.“The issue of legal responsibility is the biggest one of them all,”says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds,UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars,which was introduced earlier this year,insists that a human“be watchful and monitoring the road”at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars.“When you say ‘driverless cars’,people expect driverless cars.”Merat says.“You know—no driver.”Because of the confusion,Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own,says Ryan Calo at Stanford University,California.That is happening in the UK and Singapore,where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US,however.“The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,”says Calo.16.What does the phrase“death valley”in Paragraph2refer to?A.A place where cars often break down.B.A case where passing a law is impossible.C.An area where no driving is permitted.D.A situation where drivers’role is not clear.17.The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to__________.A.stop people from breaking traffic rulesB.help promote fully automatic drivingC.protect drivers of all ages and racesD.prevent serious property damage18.What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A.It should get the attention of insurance companies.B.It should be the main concern of law makers.C.It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D.It should involve no human responsibility.19.Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in__________.A.SingaporeB.the UKC.the USD.Germany20.What could be the best title for passage?A.Autonomous Driving:Whose Liability?B.Fully Automatic Cars:A New BreakthroughC.Autonomous Vehicles:Driver Removed!D.Driverless Cars:Root of Road AccidentsFormat IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21-25,choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps.Evaluating Sources of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information.Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinions,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.21 Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study.22Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior“contributes to”or is“associated with”an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.23Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense.If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.24Evaluate“scientific”statements carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).25Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A.Make choice that are right for you.B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.D.And examine the findings of the original research.E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.Section B(10marks:1mark for each item)Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank form a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.When I succeeded in becoming a part-time26of Nokia China last summer,many friends asked me how I survived the interview.I once asked myself the same questions.Many of my peers also27for the job,including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?Finally,curiosity28me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues.The answer was that I appeared confident but humble,responsible and communicative.They evaluated people29just on their academic certificates,but on the base of their qualities and abilities.I happened to be the right person.To be frank,I once felt30of being a student from an unknown college,and I think this may applyto some of you.I thought my future was ruined.It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying---“You decide where you go.”A wide range of skills is important these days.I used to work for Master Kong.My job was to cook instant noodles for customers.I had regarded it as a piece of cake,but I failed constantly.I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them taste good.Moreover,the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes,or the taste would be31.This experience taught me never to look down on anything,and always remain humble.I also worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event.My job was to32foreign visitors experience the beach.I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was33good.But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests,I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term.I was embarrassed.After this,I read brochures in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words.This allowed me to deliver accurate words to foreigners,and I was happy to work34.After these experience,I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my hands.It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future.I hope my advice will benefit you35well.A.asB.notC.helpD.pushedE.prettyF.looksG.ashamed H.applied I.ruined J.responsibly

It begins with a section called“All About Ashley,”where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen.“I was so happy.But it was crazy in a lot of ways.I got very stressed.I mean,I was only sixteen—I didn’t even have a car!If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed,too!“In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business,“Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them.And don’t listen when_______,because I heard‘no’a lot. Just keep going until you hear‘yes’!”56.For what purpose did Ashley create GooseHead?57.According to paragraph3,what did Ashley do after GooseHead was closed down?58.What is the title of first chapter in the book The Goosehead Guide to Life?59.How did Ashley feel as a young boss of a company?60.Fill in the blank in Paragraph4with proper words.Part III Translation(30marks,30minutes)Section A From Chinese to English(15marks:3marks for each item)Directions:Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in the brackets.61.(他所说的话)made me very angry.62.Somehow my parents look at me angrily(好像我犯了错一样).63.Teamwork means that we should(与对方合作).64.He imagines that one day he may take part in(开发人工智能).65.He didn’t come back(他直到去年十一月才回来).Section B From English to Chinese(15marks:3marks for each item)Directions:Translate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the following passage.Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.66.Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of me.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was,after about15minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?67.Sure,I could have required her to leave for a few minutes.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.68.Another15minutes passed and I grew a little bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who“ruined”it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?69.A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized.70.She lives in my house to some extent.Perhaps we all live in each others’spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.Part IV Writing(30marks,30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a composition.You should write about120 words following the Chinese outline given below.1.外卖(takeout food)已非常普遍。

WritingReading ComprehensionA greenhouse is a building made of glass which is used for keeping plants warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”, and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us. The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in the greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimeters. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles there will be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between 1 and 4. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, these gases have greatly increased.1.“Greenhouse effect” means______.A.the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warmB.natural course which is to some degree helpful to usC.The way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earthD.The whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat正确答案:C解析:根据第一段第四行the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the“greenhouse effect”,可知“温室效应”是指把热量保留在大气的行为,故选C。

Part I Reading Comprehension(60points,60minutes)Section A passage reading(每⼩题2分,共50分)Format IDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40points) Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War Il.I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls.We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done.My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary,while raisingus six boys.In my thirteenth year,an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.It was a hot summer day.My dad,two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling(打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter.Mom remained at home looking aftermy three younger brothers.She was also there,however,to help offload the full hay rack as英语试题第1页(共16页)quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.About8p.m.,we headed home after a hard day’s work.Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house.After supper,we boys all took turns having a bath—the annual4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were marching in the parade at10a.m.Mom cleaned up the table and did the dishes by hand.By10p.m.we were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.Around1a.m.,I awoke to use the bathroom.As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there,I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on.To my utter amazement,there was Mom with her back to me busily ironing.On the table were four neat piles of clothes,including our marching uniforms for the parade.It was several years more before I fully realized the significance of what I had witnessed that night:Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.1.What were the boys supposed to do on the farm?A.To do the dishes.B.To prepare dinner.C.To look after the cattle.D.To help with farm work.2.How many people are there in the authors family?A.3.B.4.C.6D.8.3.When did the author go to the bathroom?A.At1a.m.B.At10a.m.C.At8p.m.D.At10p.m.4.Mom ironed clothes for the four boys late in the middle of the night because.A.the clothes were dirty after a day's workB.the clothes were spilt over by the supper soupC.the four boys were wearing them for the paradeD.the boys were too exhausted to do it themselves英语试题第2页(共16页)5.What is the theme of this passage?A.The love of a mother.B.The hardship of farm life.C.Boys are naughtier than girls.D.Action speaks louder than words.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This week,the governor of Connecticut proposed a statewide tax on sugar—sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to raise money and fight obesity(肥胖).And there’s new evidence suggesting that these taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.Kris Madsen,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley, is one of the researchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part because she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cause of obesity.“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar sweetened beverages(饮料).”Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax those drinks,making them more expensive,and Madsen is leading a team of researchers that’s trying to see how the tax is working.“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Researchers interview people on the street,primarily in low--income neighborhoods.They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says.“This has a hugeimpact.”Madsen’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in theU.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study,consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.英语试题第3页(共16页)6.A statewide tax on sugary drinks was planned in this week.A.CaliforniaB.ConnecticutC.BerkeleyD.Mexico7.What is one of the reasons why the government put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks?A.To collect money.B.To help poor people.C.To cut the consumption of alcohol.D.To support research on public health.8.We can infer from the passage that Kris Madsen believes that.A.soda taxes cause inflationB.soda taxes are harmful to societyC.rich people don’t drink sugar-sweetened beveragesD.sugar-sweetened drinks are harmful to public health9.The tax on sugar-sweetened drinks is less effective in Mexico than that in the U.S.becauseA.it’s enforced earlierB.its tax rate is lowerC.Mexicans drink less sodasD.Mexico is a small country10.What is the theme of this passage?A.The effect of soda taxes.B.The harm of sugary drinks.C.The greed of the government.D.The life of a university teacher.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Fabio Schvartsman,a well—respected businessman as yet,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of vale,a giant miner and the worlds largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collapse of a company tailings (矿渣)dam in the town of Brumadinho on January,25th.186people are now confirmed as dead,with122still missing.英语试题第4页(共16页)So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tonnes of waste material from mining operations.The design used at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from the Brumadinho dam,ripping through a staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended benefits for executives.It has made paymentsof100,000reais($26,000)to266families.Eduardo deSalles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim(临时的)chief executive.He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Prosecutors (检察官)declare that Vale made a secret deal to hide the fact that the dam is in danger.Despite all these difficulties the firm may recover.That is partly because of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending.With healthy free cash flow and low debt,Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even heavy government fines.The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping In the2020s, demand is expected to rise for iron ore in emerging markets and for nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increases the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain Missing,buried in mud.11.What does the underlined word“detest”in Paragraph I mean?A.IgnoreB.AdoreC.HateD.Respect12.Why was it Fabio Schvartsman who had to face the public after the disaster?A.Because Vale is a giant miner.B.Because he was the chief executive.C.Because he used to be well-respected.D.Because the accident killed many people.13.What is the biggest problem that Eduardo desalles Bartolomeo faces after he has been appointed interim chief executive?A.The dismissal of Mr Schvartsman.B.Legal charges against the executives.C.The suspension of benefits for executives.D.Payments of100,000reais to266families.英语试题第5页(共16页)14.What may help Vale survive the disaster?A.Increasing Vale’s debt.B.Heavy fines from government.C.Putting Mr Schvartsman in jail.D.Rising demand for Vale’s commodities.15.Why did the company’s tailings dam in Brumadinho collapse?A.Because Mr Schvartsman cut Vale’s capital spending in May2017.B.Because there were tonnes of waste material from mining operations.C.Because the design of the dam was the least expensive and most risky.D.Because the executives of the company knew the risk of a dam breach.Passage fourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Most people don’t think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It's only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets, contacts,and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-1backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file;two of them on different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”Here’s a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He uses the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are both in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception,I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera and store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun rises again,I already have three copies of my client’s images.”After editing, copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate sets are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.Your first computer back up may be a tedious(冗长乏味的)affair as all of your downloaded英语试题第6页(共16页)music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.16.According to the“3-2-1backup strategy”,we need to keep altogether copies of our important files.A.1B.2C.3D.617.What do we know about Jimmy?A.He is a photographer.B.He is a wedding planner.C.He is one of Denis’friends.D.He works for Cloudberry Lab.18.Where does Jimmy keep his client's images after editing them?A.In the memory cards of his camera.B.In the memory cards in his wallet.C.In his desktop computer.D.In his cloud storage.19.What might people feel when they back up their files for the first time?A.Peaceful.B.Fearful.C.Bored.D.Confident.20.What can we infer from the passage?A.Hard drives crash frequently.B.Few people back up their computers regularly.C.The cloud is an unsafe place for your important files.D.Internal hard drives are safer than external hard drives.Format IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21to25. choose the most suitable sentence from choices A to G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. there are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the blanks.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(10points)We think of winter as cold and flu season,but the chilly temperatures have powerful biological upsides too.Here are some ways cold weather helps your body.英语试题第7页(共16页)21..Colder temperatures can help you think more clearly.Studies have found that people perform some cognitive tasks better when the temperature is cooler.Research has also shown that people are less inclined to tackle complex tasks in summer than in winter.The brain requires glucose(葡萄糖)to function,but the body uses more of it in warmer temperatures to keep the body cool. That leaves less available fuel for reasoning and recall tasks.22..We know accumulating too much ordinary fat can endanger our health.But adults also have small amounts ofbeneficial“brown”fat that can help burn more calories--and cold temperatures can activate this brown fat.One study showed that participants who lowered their body temperatures simply by placing one foot in cold water did increase their brown fat cells. 23..If spring and summer make you sneeze,winter might be your new favorite season.Pollen (花粉)counts are virtually nonexistent in cold weather.Indoor allergies,however,can be worse during the winter.To ease indoor allergies,use a dehumidifier(减湿器)to maintain the humidity at home below50percent.24..Your body’s core temperature drops when you’re trying to sleep.This process can take up to two hours in summer,but it’s much faster in winter.Plus,with darker mornings,you naturally sleep later.25..Yes,you might get more colds during the winter.However,studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures,which enhances our ability to fight infections.That said,the flu virus thrives in cold,dry air,and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection.To reduce risk,get your annual flu shot,wash your hands frequently,and go outside.A.Eases allergiesB.Kills flu virusesC.Fights infections/doc/ea51897ff8d6195f312b3169a45177232e60e45a.html es less glucoseE.Boosts your brainF.Activates healthy fatG.Encourages better sleep英语试题第8页(共16页)。

Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C andD. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1.(2’*20=40 marks)Passage OneQuestion 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquainta nce’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描侧). One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.” The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost every fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, p eople’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______.A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazineB. getting acquainted with his or her beat friendsC. taking a brief look at his or her appearanceD. studying his or her personality carefully2. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift?A. He can draw the subject carefullyB. He can memorize the names of people instantlyC. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristicD. He can communicate with the famous people effectively3. What does the phrase “zeroing in on” most probably mean?A. relying onB. responding onC. acknowledging onD. grasping4. The puzzled look on the subject’s face suggests that ______.A. the artist’s drawing is out of subject’s expect ationB. the crowd treated the subject rudelyC. the artist failed to show his respect for the subjectD. the image of the drawing was too real to believe5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearanceB. the first impression usually has a long lasting influenceC. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliableD. we can no longer make any sense of the information an handPassage TwoQuestion 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.)My father fixed the toilet, helped to clean up everything, and didn’t take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl “If I ever need a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was? What a dumb ass!”From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.6. When her father came to her school and peeked through the classroom door, the writer might feel ________.A. pleasedB. embarrassedC. disappointedD. proud7. The girl’s attitude towards the writer can be best described as ________.A. unfriendlyB. doubtfulC. kindD. gross8. In her early teens, the only thing the writer care about was ______ .A. her studyB. her appearanceC. what her father didD. what the other girls thought9. Why couldn’t the lawyer find anybody to fix the toilet on that winter day?A. He had little moneyB. All the plumbers were too busy to comeC. There was a major snowstorm and nobody would come outD. One of his daughters was getting married and the house was in a mess10. What might the writer’s father think of the lawyer?A. GenerousB. IntelligentC. StupidD. RespectfulPassage ThreeQuestion 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it wit h the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命).Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.Minute( 微小的) robots , called “nanorobots”are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner.11. The author mentions guitar at the beginning of the passage in order to ______.A. introduce the knowledge of guitarB. introduce the topic of nanotechnologyC. show his or her own interest in musicD. describe the craft of making musical instruments12. According to the passage, why does the nanotechnology lead to the next industrial revolution?A. Micro-machines are tiny but beautifulB. Micro-machines are strong but smartC. Micro-machines are small but powerfulD. Micro-machines are cute and varied13. The word dwarf in Pra.3 is closest in meaning to ______?A. cleverB. slowC. quickD. minute14. With nanotechnology, where will cars probably be produced ______?A. On assemble lineB. In huge containersC. Inside the micro-machinesD. Inside the nanorobots15. Which of the following is NOT the causes leading to cleaner environment by adopting nanotechnology?A. There will be less dangerous spills.B. The amount of produced chemicals can be precisely controlled.C. Micro-factories need not store chemicals.D. The factories will be of large size.Passage FourQuestion 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:When Caroline heard the phone ring late in the evening, she knew it was something important. She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd. She and Aly raced to their rescue truck and climbed in. Then Caroline put on the emergency light and stepped on the gas. She knew they had no time to lose.In the dark Pennsylvania wood, Caroline and Aly walked for hours to looking for sigh of children. It was a fierce autumn night, and she became cold and exhausted. Suddenly, she saw footprint ahead. In the cold, it was difficult for Aly to pick u p the children’s scent, but finally he found it and began to bark. Then two miles down the road, Aly began to yelp with joy, and Caroline began to run. There were the children. They were shivering and crying, but they were safe.Caroline and Aly are a specialized team with many amazing, life-saving rescues to their credit. She had always loved dogs and used to raise them as hobby. One day a friend suggested canine search and rescue team. Caroline and Aly makes an excellent team. Dogs have a great sensitivity to smell. She trained Aly to find the scent of humans underground and in open spaces. Caroline is a natural athlete who skis and mountain climbs, and she is highly skilled in wilderness survival. She and Aly can find people faster than a dozen human searchers can. Caroline can also speak seven languages, so she often translates for other rescue workers when she works in different countries.16. Which of the following can best describe the situation in Pra.l ?A. RelaxingB. UrgentC. IndifferentD. Ordinary17. Which of the following is NOT a factor leading to the difficult situation in Par. 2?A. Caroline got lostB. The weather was coldC.

For questions 21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words “fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendship is really all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunch together on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is felt in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, the slimy, wet kiss from the family dog. It’s a touch that reassures that someone is there,someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, thebread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There is something else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead the dough, or her patience as she waits for the dough to rise. Unseen and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart. 25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of the heart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G. Friendship can be heard.Section BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are foursuggested answers marked A,B,CandD. Choose the best answer andblacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It isan electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them asan alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways. ()36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.()37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope()38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km()39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. Youwill often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training,for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.()40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight()41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Courageous.B. Slow.C. Energetic.D. Cowardly.()42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Extraordinary smelling.B. Swift movement.C. Sharp hearing.D. A strong memory.()43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.C. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeDuring a television play the sound man must be ready to make every sound as it is needed.Sound effects are of three kinds:real,imitated and recorded.Real sounds are those of doorbells,telephone bells,and other small objects easy to keep in a studio.But the sound man must imitate many sounds.For baconfryin9,he crumples cellophane paper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder•He taps one rubber sink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement.For a horse galloping along a gravel road,the sound man can use the two halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage.He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing,a train leaving a station,and a baby crying.The sound man is an important part of any television production.( )44.The sound man is important because he________•A.makes fl TV play more lifelikeB.is kept busyC.1ets an actor know when to life a telephone receiverD.is always learning new methods( )45.The examples given for the first kind are________.A.whistles and sirensB.typewriters and cash registersC.church bells and telephone bellsD.doorbells and telephone bells( )46.The metal sheet used to imitate thunder must be________.A.tightly fastened on all sidesB.1ying flatC.neither A nor BD.both A and B( )47.Recorded sound effects are used for a_______•A.train leaving a stationB.baby cryingC.rooster crowingD.all of the abovePassage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work. People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women;a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work,they say,the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job,they will be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life,or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying,“All men are created equal.”They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all human being are created equal.”( )48. The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work” to demand that _____.A. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same workD. people doing harder work should earn more( )49.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up?A. Their jobB. Their home lifeC. Their present position in societyD. Their right to pay( )50.People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____.A. men's responsibilities are different from women'sB. men can earn money more easily than womenC. women can't do what men canD. men have to work much harder than women( )51. The women use the saying “all men created equal” to show that ___.A. the position of women has changed a little in modern timeB. men and women had equal power in early American societyC. men's right are always considered more important than women'sD. in American society men and women should in modern time( )52.The women who disagree say that _______.A. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life the liveB. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesC. if women are given equal pay,their opportunities will be greatD. women need opportunities to go out of the house more oftenPassage FiveAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Somehave full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity. ( )53. College education is _______ in America.A. very rareB. quite commonC. something difficultD. almost impossible( )54. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. college prep classesC. GPAD. taking part in many activities( )55. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.V.

浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷6(题后含答案及解析) 全部题型 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Cloze 5. Translation 6. WritingReading ComprehensionIt is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It not only includes “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed(嗅出)something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”—string of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant use. An average U. S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.1.Which of the following is TRUE about memory?A.It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.B.It is based on the decisions we made in the past.C.It is rooted in our past habits and skills.D.It connects our past experiences with the present.正确答案:D解析:推断题。

Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestionsor unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet1.(2 ’*20=40 marks)Passage OneQuestion 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sightof you is a brilliantholograph. It burns its way into your new acquaintance ’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who drawsregularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and otherpopular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only thephysicalappearance of his subjects,but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities.The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad (素描侧) . One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness ofGeorge Bush.Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin ofa guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin tothe guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject ’s face. He or she usuallymumblessomepoliteness like, “Well, er, that ’s great. But it really isn ’t me.”The crowd ’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is! ” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at theworld ’s view of himself or herself in the napkin.Once I asked Robert how he could capture peopl e’s personalities so well. He said, “It ’s simple. I just look at them. ” Almost every fact of people ’s personalitiesis evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-pacedinformation-overload world, multiplestimuli bombard us every second, people ’sheads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and . .get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______.A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazineB. getting acquainted with his or her beat friendsC. taking a brief look at his or her appearanceD. studying his or her personality carefully2.Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift?A. He can draw the subject carefullyB. He can memorize the names of people instantlyC. He can illustrate the subjec t ’s characteristicD. He can communicate with the famous people effectively3. What does the phrase “zeroing in on ” most probably mean?A. relying onB. responding onC. acknowledging onD. grasping4. The puzzled look on the subject ’s face suggests that ______.A. theartist ’s drawing is out of subject ’s expectationB. the crowd treated the subject rudelyC. the artist failed to show his respect for thesubjectD. the image of the drawing was too real to believe5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearanceB. the first impression usually has a long lasting influenceC. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliableD. we can no longer make any sense of the information an handPassage TwoQuestion 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from timeto time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing yourdad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber andhers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross! ” I must admitI was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girlsthought.Thegirl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her eldersister got married---the toiletintheir main upstairs bathroom cracked and therewas water everywhere.

Some people say the future is big,but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology( 纳米技术 )is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, andit is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful.Manyscientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution( 工业革命 ).Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter,The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, whichin equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology,we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size andstrength.Minute( 微小的 ) robots , called “nanorobots ” are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line,for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant containerintowhich raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots willdirect the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also beused to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in. .dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactlythe amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicalswould need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment wouldbe cleaner.11.

She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd. She and Aly racedto their rescue truck and climbed in.

Forquestions 21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into eachof the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into anyof the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2 ’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewherein the F’s between the words “fear ” and “Friday ”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting fact s on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendshipisreally all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumnair,a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendshipisseen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulderof another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see. . .23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunchtogether on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is feltin atouch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, theslimy, wet kiss from the familydog. It ’s a touch that reassures that someoneis there, someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There issomething else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead thedough, or her patience as she waits for the dough torise. Unseen and unmeasured,this is theingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart.25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that,whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like airfillsthe lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the bestlifehas to offer: afriend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of theheart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G.

Part I Reading Comprehension(60points,60minutes)Section A passage reading(每小题2分,共50分)Format IDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40points) Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War Il.I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls.We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done.My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary,while raisingus six boys.In my thirteenth year,an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.It was a hot summer day.My dad,two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling(打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter.Mom remained at home looking aftermy three younger brothers.She was also there,however,to help offload the full hay rack as英语试题第1页(共16页)quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.About8p.m.,we headed home after a hard day’s work.Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house.After supper,we boys all took turns having a bath—the annual4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were marching in the parade at10a.m.Mom cleaned up the table and did the dishes by hand.By10p.m.we were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.Around1a.m.,I awoke to use the bathroom.As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there,I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on.To my utter amazement,there was Mom with her back to me busily ironing.On the table were four neat piles of clothes,including our marching uniforms for the parade.It was several years more before I fully realized the significance of what I had witnessed that night:Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.1.What were the boys supposed to do on the farm?A.To do the dishes.B.To prepare dinner.C.To look after the cattle.D.To help with farm work.2.How many people are there in the authors family?A.3.B.4.C.6D.8.3.When did the author go to the bathroom?A.At1a.m.B.At10a.m.C.At8p.m.D.At10p.m.4.Mom ironed clothes for the four boys late in the middle of the night because.A.the clothes were dirty after a day's workB.the clothes were spilt over by the supper soupC.the four boys were wearing them for the paradeD.the boys were too exhausted to do it themselves英语试题第2页(共16页)5.What is the theme of this passage?A.The love of a mother.B.The hardship of farm life.C.Boys are naughtier than girls.D.Action speaks louder than words.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This week,the governor of Connecticut proposed a statewide tax on sugar—sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to raise money and fight obesity(肥胖).And there’s new evidence suggesting that these taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.Kris Madsen,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley, is one of the researchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part because she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cause of obesity.“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar sweetened beverages(饮料).”Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax those drinks,making them more expensive,and Madsen is leading a team of researchers that’s trying to see how the tax is working.“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Researchers interview people on the street,primarily in low--income neighborhoods.They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says.“This has a huge impact.”Madsen’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in the U.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study,consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.英语试题第3页(共16页)6.A statewide tax on sugary drinks was planned in this week.A.CaliforniaB.ConnecticutC.BerkeleyD.Mexico7.What is one of the reasons why the government put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks?A.To collect money.B.To help poor people.C.To cut the consumption of alcohol.D.To support research on public health.8.We can infer from the passage that Kris Madsen believes that.A.soda taxes cause inflationB.soda taxes are harmful to societyC.rich people don’t drink sugar-sweetened beveragesD.sugar-sweetened drinks are harmful to public health9.The tax on sugar-sweetened drinks is less effective in Mexico than that in the U.S.becauseA.it’s enforced earlierB.its tax rate is lowerC.Mexicans drink less sodasD.Mexico is a small country10.What is the theme of this passage?A.The effect of soda taxes.B.The harm of sugary drinks.C.The greed of the government.D.The life of a university teacher.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Fabio Schvartsman,a well—respected businessman as yet,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of vale,a giant miner and the worlds largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collapse of a company tailings (矿渣)dam in the town of Brumadinho on January,25th.186people are now confirmed as dead,with122still missing.英语试题第4页(共16页)So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tonnes of waste material from mining operations.The design used at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from the Brumadinho dam,ripping through a staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended benefits for executives.It has made payments of100,000reais($26,000)to266families.Eduardo deSalles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim(临时的)chief executive.He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Prosecutors (检察官)declare that Vale made a secret deal to hide the fact that the dam is in danger.Despite all these difficulties the firm may recover.That is partly because of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending.With healthy free cash flow and low debt,Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even heavy government fines.The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping In the2020s, demand is expected to rise for iron ore in emerging markets and for nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increases the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain Missing,buried in mud.11.What does the underlined word“detest”in Paragraph I mean?A.IgnoreB.AdoreC.HateD.Respect12.Why was it Fabio Schvartsman who had to face the public after the disaster?A.Because Vale is a giant miner.B.Because he was the chief executive.C.Because he used to be well-respected.D.Because the accident killed many people.13.What is the biggest problem that Eduardo desalles Bartolomeo faces after he has been appointed interim chief executive?A.The dismissal of Mr Schvartsman.B.Legal charges against the executives.C.The suspension of benefits for executives.D.Payments of100,000reais to266families.英语试题第5页(共16页)14.What may help Vale survive the disaster?A.Increasing Vale’s debt.B.Heavy fines from government.C.Putting Mr Schvartsman in jail.D.Rising demand for Vale’s commodities.15.Why did the company’s tailings dam in Brumadinho collapse?A.Because Mr Schvartsman cut Vale’s capital spending in May2017.B.Because there were tonnes of waste material from mining operations.C.Because the design of the dam was the least expensive and most risky.D.Because the executives of the company knew the risk of a dam breach.Passage fourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Most people don’t think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It's only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets, contacts,and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-1backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file;two of them on different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”Here’s a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He uses the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are both in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception,I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera and store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun rises again,I already have three copies of my client’s images.”After editing, copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate sets are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.Your first computer back up may be a tedious(冗长乏味的)affair as all of your downloaded英语试题第6页(共16页)music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.16.According to the“3-2-1backup strategy”,we need to keep altogether copies of our important files.A.1B.2C.3D.617.What do we know about Jimmy?A.He is a photographer.B.He is a wedding planner.C.He is one of Denis’friends.D.He works for Cloudberry Lab.18.Where does Jimmy keep his client's images after editing them?A.In the memory cards of his camera.B.In the memory cards in his wallet.C.In his desktop computer.D.In his cloud storage.19.What might people feel when they back up their files for the first time?A.Peaceful.B.Fearful.C.Bored.D.Confident.20.What can we infer from the passage?A.Hard drives crash frequently.B.Few people back up their computers regularly.C.The cloud is an unsafe place for your important files.D.Internal hard drives are safer than external hard drives.Format IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21to25. choose the most suitable sentence from choices A to G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. there are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the blanks.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(10points)We think of winter as cold and flu season,but the chilly temperatures have powerful biological upsides too.Here are some ways cold weather helps your body.英语试题第7页(共16页)21..Colder temperatures can help you think more clearly.Studies have found that people perform some cognitive tasks better when the temperature is cooler.Research has also shown that people are less inclined to tackle complex tasks in summer than in winter.The brain requires glucose(葡萄糖)to function,but the body uses more of it in warmer temperatures to keep the body cool. That leaves less available fuel for reasoning and recall tasks.22..We know accumulating too much ordinary fat can endanger our health.But adults also have small amounts of beneficial“brown”fat that can help burn more calories--and cold temperatures can activate this brown fat.One study showed that participants who lowered their body temperatures simply by placing one foot in cold water did increase their brown fat cells. 23..If spring and summer make you sneeze,winter might be your new favorite season.Pollen (花粉)counts are virtually nonexistent in cold weather.Indoor allergies,however,can be worse during the winter.To ease indoor allergies,use a dehumidifier(减湿器)to maintain the humidity at home below50percent.24..Your body’s core temperature drops when you’re trying to sleep.This process can take up to two hours in summer,but it’s much faster in winter.Plus,with darker mornings,you naturally sleep later.25..Yes,you might get more colds during the winter.However,studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures,which enhances our ability to fight infections.That said,the flu virus thrives in cold,dry air,and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection.To reduce risk,get your annual flu shot,wash your hands frequently,and go outside.A.Eases allergiesB.Kills flu virusesC.Fights infectionses less glucoseE.Boosts your brainF.Activates healthy fatG.Encourages better sleep英语试题第8页(共16页)。

Part I Reading Comprehension(60points,60minutes)Section A Passage Reading(每小题2分,共50分)Format IDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40points)Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War II,I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls.We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done.My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary,while raising us six boys.In my thirteenth year,an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.It was a hot summer day.My dad,two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling(打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter.Mom remained at home looking after my three younger brothers.She was also there,however,to help offload the full hay rack as quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.1About8p.m.,we headed home after a hard day’s work.Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house.After supper,we boys all took turns having a bath—the annual4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were marching in the parade at10a.m. Mom cleaned up the table and did the dishes by hand.By10p.m.we were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.Around1a.m.,I awoke to use the bathroom.As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there,I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on.To my utter amazement,there was Mom with her back to me busily ironing.On the table were four neat piles of clothes,including our marching uniforms for the parade.It was several years more before I fully realized the significance of what I had witnessed that night: Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.1.What were the boys supposed to do on the farm?A.To do the dishes.B.To prepare dinner.C.To look after the cattle.D.To help with farm work.2.How many people are there in the author's family?A.3.B.4.C.6.D.8.3.When did the author go to the bathroom?A.At1a.m.B.At10a.m.C.At8p.m.D.At10p.m.4.Mom ironed clothes for the four boys late in the middle of the night because.A.the clothes were dirty after a day’s workB.the clothes were spilt over by the supper soupC.the four boys were wearing them for the paradeD.the boys were too exhausted to do it themselves5.What is the theme of this passage?A.The love of a mother.B.The hardship of farm life.C.Boys are naughtier than girls.2D.Action speaks louder than words.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This week,the governor of Connecticut proposed a statewide tax on sugar-sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to raise money and fight obesity(肥胖).And there’s new evidence suggesting that these taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.Kris Madsen,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley,is one of the researchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part because she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cause of obesity.“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar-sweetened beverages(饮料).”Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax those drinks,making them more expensive,and Madsen is leading a team of researchers that’s trying to see how the tax is working.“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Researchers interview people on the street,primarily in low-income neighborhoods.They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says.“This has a huge impact.”Madsen’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in the U.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study, consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.6.A statewide tax on sugary drinks was planned in this week.A.CaliforniaB.ConnecticutC.BerkeleyD.Mexico7.What is one of the reasons why the government put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks?A.To collect money.B.To help poor people.3C.To cut the consumption of alcohol.D.To support research on public health.8.We can infer from the passage that Kris Madsen believes that.A.soda taxes cause inflationB.soda taxes are harmful to societyC.rich people don’t drink sugar-sweetened beveragesD.sugar-sweetened drinks are harmful to public health9.The tax on sugar-sweetened drinks is less effective in Mexico than that in the U.S.because.A.it’s enforced earlierB.its tax rate is lowerC.Mexicans drink less sodasD.Mexico is a small country10.What is the theme of this passage?A.The effect of soda taxes.B.The harm of sugary drinks.C.The greed of the government.D.The life of a university teacher.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Fabio Schvartsman,a well-respected businessman as yet,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of Vale,a giant miner and the world’s largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr. Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collapse of a company tailings(矿渣)dam in the town of Brumadinho on January,25th.186people are now confirmed as dead,with122still missing.So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tones of waste material from mining operations.The design used at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from the Brumadinho dam,ripping through a staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended benefits for executives.It has made payments of100,000reais($26,000)to 266families.4Eduardo de Salles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim(临时的)chief executive. He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Prosecutors(检察官)declare that Vale made a secret deal to hide the fact that the dam is in danger.Despite all these difficulties the firm may recover.That is partly because of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending.With healthy free cash flow and low debt,Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even heavy government fines. The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping.In the2020s,demand is expected to rise for iron ore in emerging markets and for nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increases the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain missing,buried in mud.11.What does the underlined word“detest”in Paragraph1mean?A.Ignore.B.Adore.C.Hate.D.Respect.12.Why was it Fabio Schvartsman who had to face the public after the disaster?A.Because Vale is a giant miner.B.Because he was the chief executive.C.Because he used to be well-respected.D.Because the accident killed many people.13.What is the biggest problem that Eduardo deSalles Bartolomeo faces after he has been appointed interim chief executive?A.The dismissal of Mr Schvartsman.B.Legal charges against the executives.C.The suspension of benefits for executives.D.Payments of100,000reais to266families.14.What may help Vale survive the disaster?A.Increasing Vale’s debt.B.Heavy fines from government.C.Putting Mr Schvartsman in jail.D.Rising demand for Vale’s commodities.15.Why did the company’s tailings dam in Bmmadinho collapse?A.Because Mr Schvartsman cut Vale’s capital spending in May2017.5B.Because there were tonnes of waste material from mining operations.C.Because the design of the dam was the least expensive and most risky.D.Because the executives of the company knew the risk of a dam breach.Passage FourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Most people don’t think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It’s only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets,contacts, and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-l backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file;two of them on different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”Here’s a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He uses the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are both in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception, I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera and store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun rises again,I already have three copies of my client’s images.”After editing,copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate sets are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box.Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.Your first computer back up may be a tedious(冗长乏味的)affair as all of your downloaded music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.16.According to the“3-2-1backup strategy”,we need to keep altogether copies of our important files.A.1B.2C.3D.617.What do we know about Jimmy?6A.He is a photographer.B.He is a wedding planner.C.He is one of Denis’friends.D.He works for Cloudberry Lab.18.Where does Jimmy keep his client’s images after editing them?A.In the memory cards of his camera.B.In the memory cards in his wallet.C.In his desktop computer.D.In his cloud storage.19.What might people feel when they back up their files for the first time?A.Peaceful.B.Fearful.C.Bored.D.Confident.20.What can we infer from the passage?A.Hard drives crash frequently.B.Few people back up their computers regularly.C.The cloud is an unsafe place for your important files.D.Internal hard drives are safer than external hard drives.Format IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21to25,choose the most suitable sentence from choices A to G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the blanks.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(10points)We think of winter as cold and flu season,but the chilly temperatures have power fill biological upsides too.Here are some ways cold weather helps your body.21..Colder temperatures can help you think more clearly.Studies have found that people perform some cognitive tasks better when the temperature is cooler.Research has also shown that people are less inclined to tackle complex tasks in summer than in winter.The brain requires glucose(葡萄糖)to function,but the body uses more of it in warmer temperatures to keep the body cool.That leaves less available fuel for reasoning and recall tasks.722..We know accumulating too much ordinary fat can endanger our health.But adults also have small amounts of beneficial“brown”fat that can help bum more calories—and cold temperatures can activate this brown fat.One study showed that participants who lowered their body temperatures simply by placing one foot in cold water did increase their brown fat cells.23..If spring and summer make you sneeze,winter might be your new favorite season.Pollen(花粉)counts are virtually nonexistent in cold weather.Indoor allergies,however,can be worse during the winter.To ease indoor allergies,use a dehumidifier(减湿器)to maintain the humidity at home below50 percent.24..Your body’s core temperature drops when you’re trying to sleep.This process can take up to two hours in summer,but it’s much faster in winter.Plus,with darker mornings,you naturally sleep later. 25..Yes,you might get more colds during the winter.However,studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures,which enhances our ability to fight infections.That said, the flu virus thrives in cold,dry air,and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection.To reduce risk,get your annual flu shot,wash your hands frequently,and go outside.A.Eases allergies.B.Kills flu viruses.C.Fights infections.es less glucose.E.Boosts your brain.F.Activates healthy fat.G.Encourages better sleep.Section B Banked Clone(每小题1分,共10分)Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Please blacken the corresponding letter for each choice on The8Answer Sheet.You may not use any of the words in the word bank more than once.(10points)Until Friday,I’d never been to the Strong National Museum of Play,and I’m a senior.I went for College Night,which is composed26college students to enjoy.As I walked to the museum I wondered27I was doing this.That changed when I got 28—just circling around the perimeter(周边)revealed a picturesque scene.The line at the entrance was daunting,thanks to the discount for students29college IDs. When I managed to finally enter,a flood of nostalgia(怀旧之情)and30memories hit me.The museum isn’t tailored for31,but it seemed like everyone who came was having fun reliving their childhood.Since the environment encouraged foolishness,I couldn’t32letting my own childhood spirit loose.There were several play33,with themes such as“Sesame Street”and“American Comic Book Heroes.”A computer allowed34to see what they would look like as a superhero.To end the night,I visited the shopping center and bought a few souvenirs.Unnecessary purchases, 35,like the rest of the night,totally worth it.Part II Integrated Testing(30points,30minutes)Section A Cloze(每小题1分,共20分)Directions:There are20blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.Then blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(20points)My close childhood friend spent the last eight years attending night school to get his bachelor’s degree while working a full-time st month,after36of late nights and weekends of37 course work and studying,he finally38.He remained in our hometown after39school,but most of his friends,myself included,left our40long ago to other states for university and employment.Over time,newfound responsibilities, families,and other engagements have made it41that we’re back in our hometown at the same time.One of our mutual friends42a wonderful idea of kindness:plan a weekend that we’d all be943to fly back to our hometown to44him and celebrate his accomplishment.It was so much fun45the behind-the-scenes!The bait:His mom told46that he was going to have47with just his grandparents to celebrate.Little did he48that the dinner would turn into a20person49with friends present from both coasts!I got to order this non-dairy cake50 everyone attending could enjoy it.I asked his mom for tips51a flavor he would like.52the guest of honor arrived to“dinner with the53”,was thoroughly surprised and told us how much54meant to him that we all flew in to make him feel special,the kindness mission(重大任务)was55.36.A.weeks B.months C.years D.decades37.A.finding B.doing C.starting D.getting38.A.arrived B.stopped C.enrolled D.graduated39.A.high B.primary C.medical D.business40.A.school B.country C.village D.hometown41.A.possible B.rare C.silly D.sad42.A.welcomed B.tested C.hatched D.stole43.A.eager B.free C.hesitant D.obliged44.A.surprise B.shock C.frighten D.discourage45.A.financing B.staging C.overhearing D.planning46.A.her B.them C.him D.it47.A.quarrels B.words C.breakfast D.dinner48.A.know B.hear C.see D.feel49.A.seminar B.accident C.affair D.team50.A.so that B.in that C.in case D.as if51.A.in B.at C.with D.on52.A.If B.When C.Whether D.Before53.A.grandparents B.friends C.parents D.host54.A.that B.this C.it D.we55.A.undertaken B.accomplished C.abandoned D.given非选择题部分10注意事项:用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上,不能答在试题卷上。

浙江专升本2019年英语作文题目

浙江专升本2019年英语作文题目The Zhejiang Specialized Undergraduate Entrance Examination is a significant event for students in Zhejiang province who aspire to further their education and pursue a specialized undergraduate degree. The English essay component of this examination is particularly crucial as it not only assesses the students' language proficiency but also their critical thinking skills and ability to articulate their ideas effectively.The 2019 English essay topic was a thought-provoking one that challenged the students to delve into the complexities of modern society and the role of technology in shaping our lives. The prompt asked the students to discuss the impact of technological advancements on human relationships and the potential consequences of our increasing reliance on digital communication.In addressing this topic, the students were required to demonstrate a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to analyze it from multiple perspectives. They were expected to draw upon their own experiences, observations, and research to support theirarguments and present a well-reasoned and coherent essay.One of the key aspects of the 2019 English essay topic was the examination of the impact of technology on human relationships. The students were asked to consider how the widespread use of digital communication tools, such as social media and messaging apps, has affected the way we interact with one another. They were required to explore both the positive and negative implications of this shift in communication patterns.On the positive side, technology has enabled us to stay connected with friends and family members who may be geographically distant, allowing us to maintain relationships that might otherwise have been difficult to sustain. It has also facilitated the formation of new connections and the sharing of ideas and experiences on a global scale. The students could have argued that technology has the potential to bring people together and foster a greater sense of community, particularly in the face of physical isolation or social distancing measures.However, the students were also expected to acknowledge the potential downsides of our reliance on digital communication. They could have discussed how the lack of face-to-face interaction and the constant distraction of digital devices can lead to a diminished sense of intimacy and emotional connection in our relationships. Thestudents might have also explored the phenomenon of "social media fatigue" and the negative impact it can have on our mental health and overall well-being.Another important aspect of the 2019 English essay topic was the potential consequences of our increasing dependence on technology. The students were required to consider how the widespread adoption of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence and automation, could impact the job market and the way we work. They were expected to analyze the potential benefits and drawbacks of these technological advancements and how they might affect the future of employment.For example, the students could have argued that the integration of AI and automation into the workforce could lead to increased efficiency and productivity, freeing up human workers to focus on more creative and strategic tasks. However, they might have also acknowledged the risk of job displacement and the need for retraining and reskilling to ensure that workers are able to adapt to the changing job market.Additionally, the students were expected to consider the ethical implications of technological progress and the need to ensure that the development and deployment of new technologies are guided by principles of fairness, inclusivity, and sustainability. They couldhave discussed the importance of responsible innovation and the role of policymakers and regulatory bodies in shaping the future of technology.In conclusion, the 2019 English essay topic on the impact of technology on human relationships and the potential consequences of our increasing reliance on digital communication was a complex and multifaceted challenge. The students who excelled in this examination demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject matter, the ability to analyze it from multiple perspectives, and the skills to articulate their ideas in a clear, well-structured, and persuasive manner. Their essays not only showcased their linguistic proficiency but also their critical thinking abilities and their capacity to engage with the pressing issues of our time.。

Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1.(2’*20=40 marks)Passage OneQuestion 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquaintance’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描侧). One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.”The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost every fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the worldand get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______.A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazineB. getting acquainted with his or her beat friendsC. taking a brief look at his or her appearanceD. studying his or her personality carefully2. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift?A. He can draw the subject carefullyB. He can memorize the names of people instantlyC. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristicD. He can communicate with the famous people effectively3. What does the phrase “zeroing in on” most probably mean?A. relying onB. responding onC. acknowledging onD. grasping4. The puzzled look on the subject’s face suggests that ______.A. the artist’s drawing is out of subject’s expectationB. the crowd treated the subject rudelyC. the artist failed to show his respect for the subjectD. the image of the drawing was too real to believe5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearanceB. the first impression usually has a long lasting influenceC. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliableD. we can no longer make any sense of the information an handPassage TwoQuestion 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet, helped to clean up everything, and didn’t take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl “If I ever needa lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was? What a dumb ass!”From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.6. When her father came to her school and peeked through the classroom door, the writer might feel ________.A. pleasedB. embarrassedC. disappointedD. proud7. The girl’s attitude towards the writer can be best described as ________.A. unfriendlyB. doubtfulC. kindD. gross8. In her early teens, the only thing the writer care about was ______ .A. her studyB. her appearanceC. what her father didD. what the other girls thought9. Why couldn’t the lawyer find anybody to fix the toilet on that winter day?A. He had little moneyB. All the plumbers were too busy to comeC. There was a major snowstorm and nobody would come outD. One of his daughters was getting married and the house was in a mess10. What might the writer’s father think of the lawyer?A. GenerousB. IntelligentC. StupidD. RespectfulPassage ThreeQuestion 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命).Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.Minute( 微小的 ) robots , called “nanorobots” are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result indangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner.11. The author mentions guitar at the beginning of the passage in order to ______.A. introduce the knowledge of guitarB. introduce the topic of nanotechnologyC. show his or her own interest in musicD. describe the craft of making musical instruments12. According to the passage, why does the nanotechnology lead to the next industrial revolution?A. Micro-machines are tiny but beautifulB. Micro-machines are strong but smartC. Micro-machines are small but powerfulD. Micro-machines are cute and varied13. The word dwarf in Pra.3 is closest in meaning to ______?A. cleverB. slowC. quickD. minute14. With nanotechnology, where will cars probably be produced ______?A. On assemble lineB. In huge containersC. Inside the micro-machinesD. Inside the nanorobots15. Which of the following is NOT the causes leading to cleaner environment by adopting nanotechnology?A. There will be less dangerous spills.B. The amount of produced chemicals can be precisely controlled.C. Micro-factories need not store chemicals.D. The factories will be of large size.Passage FourQuestion 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:When Caroline heard the phone ring late in the evening, she knew it was something important. She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd. She and Aly raced to their rescue truck and climbed in. Then Caroline put on the emergency light and stepped on the gas. She knew they had no time to lose.In the dark Pennsylvania wood, Caroline and Aly walked for hours to looking for sigh of children. It was a fierce autumn night, and she became cold and exhausted. Suddenly, she saw footprint ahead. In the cold, it was difficult for Aly to pick up the children’s scent, but finally he found it and began to bark. Then two miles down the road, Aly began to yelp with joy, and Caroline began to run. There were the children. They were shivering and crying, but they were safe.Caroline and Aly are a specialized team with many amazing, life-saving rescues to their credit. She had always loved dogs and used to raise them as hobby. One day a friend suggested canine search and rescue team. Caroline and Aly makes an excellent team. Dogs have a great sensitivity to smell. She trained Aly to findthe scent of humans underground and in open spaces. Caroline is a natural athlete who skis and mountain climbs, and she is highly skilled in wilderness survival. She and Aly can find people faster than a dozen human searchers can. Caroline can also speak seven languages, so she often translates for other rescue workers when she works in different countries.16. Which of the following can best describe the situation in Pra.l ?A.

Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words “fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendship is really all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunch together on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is felt in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, the slimy, wet kiss from the family dog. It’s a touch that reassures that someone is there, someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There is something else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead the dough, or her patience as she waits for the dough to rise. Unseen and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart.25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of the heart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G.
