大学英语(A)复习题一
大学英语（A）复习题一一、Vocabulary and Structure 词汇与结构此部分共有15个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从AB、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. It is the general manager who makes the ______ decisions in business.A. beginningB. finishingC. firstD. final答案：D解析：本题主要考查对句意的掌握。
make the final decisions意为“作最终决定”。
故D 为正确选项，其余三项都不符合题意。
2. Never ______ such a good boss before I came to this company.A. do I meetB. I metC. had I metD. I had met答案：C解析：本题主要考查对否定副词never用法的掌握。
当never位于句首时，句子要部分倒装，即将句中实意动词的助动词放在主语前面，且本句中的从句before I came to this company，“在我到这家公司之前”是过去发生的事，故主句应该是过去的过去，故正确答案为C。
3. If the machine should ______, call this number immediately.A. break downB. set outC. put onD. go up答案：A解析：本题考查对固定短语搭配的掌握。
break down为固定搭配，指车、机器等出故障。
set out意为“动身，出发”；put on意为“穿衣；上演，上映”；go up意为“上升，上涨”。
只有A符合句意，故A为正确答案。
4. The manager showed the new employee ______ to find the supplies.A. whatB. whereC. thatD. which答案： B解析：本题考查对副词where用法的掌握。

大学英语A——复习题(08)
大学英语A——复习题8一、阅读理解From the time we were babies we have been taught our manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and a fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that you are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. They politely turn their backs on each other when they are taking food.Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing（祝福）. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new born baby. In most other places, spitting means just something completely different. It's something to do to show that you hate someone.When we go to visit someone we say "Hello" and "How are you" and things like that. If you were visiting an East African village, everyone would be very careful not to pay any attention to you. The polite thing there would be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You would wait until he had finished what he was doing and then he would begin talking to you.In a village in Arab, a visitor walks behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passed in front，he would be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It was rude to refuse.1、We have been taught________.A、it's bad manners to stand and to sitB、it's good manners to hold a knife and a forkC、it's good manners not to talk with our mouths fullD、how to shake hands when we introduce people参考答案:C2、In parts of Polynesia it's not polite________.A、to be eating aloneB、to stand eatingC、to be seen eatingD、to take food away参考答案:C3、In most places，spitting means________.A、a kind of blessingB、you want a sick person to get wellC、you give a new-born baby the blessingD、you hate someone参考答案:D4、If you visit an East African village, you________.A、had better say "Hello" or "How are you" to othersB、will keep quiet and not to speak to anyoneC、should be very careful and not to pay any attention to othersD、must wait until the villagers have finished their work and then begin to talk to them参考答案:B5、If you pass in front of the tents in Arab, ________.A、you would be invited in and eat in each tentB、you just refuse to go into the tentC、you can walk behind all the tentsD、you can't get to the one you want to visit参考答案:A6、In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ___________.A、rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB、small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC、Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD、most Americans are ready to offer help参考答案:D7、It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.A、culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB、courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC、various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD、social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions参考答案:A8、Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.A、to improve their hard lifeB、in view of their long-distance travelC、to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD、out of a charitable impulse参考答案:C9、The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.A、tends to be superficial and artificialB、is generally well kept up in the United StatesC、is always understood properlyD、has something to do with the busy tourist trails参考答案:B10、What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American’s friendliness?A、Favorable.B、Unfavorable.C、Indifferent.D、Neutral.参考答案:A二、词汇与语法11、John was _______ a car accident yesterday.A、involved inB、related toC、included inD、damaged by参考答案:A12、Most of the workers were _______ until the firm received new orders.A、laid offB、called offC、put offD、taken off参考答案:A13、They had to put the meeting off ________ so many people didn't show up.A、sinceB、unlessC、for fear thatD、though参考答案:A14、Maggie ____the floor when she _____the door bell ring.A、was sweeping … heardB、swept … heardC、was sweeping … was hearingD、swept … was hearing参考答案:A15、- I have taken someone else's T-shirt by mistake.

大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷7(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级仔细阅读专项强化真题试卷7(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping—where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa. Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters? But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble(鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.1．What is happening to the wallet?A．It is disappearing.B．It is being fattened.C．It is becoming costly.D．It is changing in style.正确答案：A解析：事实细节题。

It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was called “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950 of its 2,200 passengers.Many passengers were aboard the night it ran into an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New York destination.

大学英语A——复习题(06)
大学英语A——复习题6一、阅读理解The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous workre-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?1、How many volumes have been published so far?A、Five.B、Four.C、Three.D、None.参考答案:B2、What is special about the first volume?A、It introduces the world intellectual history.B、It introduces the history of Europe.C、It demonstrates that the Chinese made many inventions.D、It explains why China lags behind the west in science and technology.参考答案:C3、In the first paragraph, the word “skeptical" means ______.A、doubtfulB、worriedC、sadD、angry参考答案:A4、Which of the following inventions in NOT made by the Chinese?A、Gunpowder.B、Motor cars.C、Paddle boats.D、Bridge design.参考答案:B5、The best title for this passage is ______.A、Development of Science and Technology in ChinaB、Comparisons Between the East and the WestC、China Is Catching UpD、China's Inventions参考答案:D6、The author uses the story of an old Finnish woman to indicate that __________.A、she is ignorant of some common knowledgeB、public transit system contains the accessory to InternetC、many people are unaware of the function of the new appliances being usedD、the Internet is experiencing rapid growth参考答案:C7、The word “saturate” (Para. 3) most probably means _________.A、stateB、utilizeC、despiseD、fill参考答案:D8、According to the text, WAP is a __________.A、technology standard set by major phone companiesB、substitution of HTML which can be applied on the InternetC、means of exchanging informationD、software application for transmitting voice over telephone lines参考答案:C9、We can infer from the passage that the mobile Internet is different from the previous Internet in that the former __________.A、can be accessed by desktop computersB、has no need for wire appliancesC、can be used to book a table in a restaurantD、is equipped with speech recognition systems参考答案:B10、What is the attitude of the author towards the future of mobile Internet?A、IndifferentB、NeutralC、OptimisticD、Pessimistic参考答案:C二、词汇与语法11、Bob doesn't look his age, I guess he is somewhere in ________.A、his fortyB、his fortiesC、fortiesD、forty参考答案:B12、The earrings are not _________ the price that I paid for it.A、worthB、worthyC、valueD、equal参考答案:A13、I'm going to have a rest and _______.A、so does DavidB、so goes DavidC、so is DavidD、so has David参考答案:C14、I'd like to explain the proposals _______ we have received many objections.A、to whichB、to whereC、to whoD、to what参考答案:A15、In Shenzhou VI, Chinese astronauts aren't only spaceship drivers, _______ machine repairers and scientists.A、soB、orC、andD、but also参考答案:D解析:not only…, but also… 是固定搭配，因此选择D。

5 “Yes, yes, of course,” murmured the company, more and more agitated.
6 “Seldom has a city gained such world renown, and I am proud and happy to welcome you to Hiroshima, a town known throughout the world for its – oysters.”
Warming Up
HARRY TRUMAN: “The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan’s power to make war.” American planes dropped one of the bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and another on Nagasaki 3 days later. Exactly how many people in those 2 cities died from the force and heat of the blasts or later from radiation may never be known. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Japan estimates that between 150,000 and 246,000 died within 2 to 4 months of the bombings. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, 6 days after the Nagasaki bombing.

(53) _______________.English gradually crept back up the social scale, and by the end of the fifteenth century, a national English literature had developed. (54) _______________.

(30 points)A reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain “if I steal a nickel’s worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I stea l the love of another’s wife, I am free.”(1)This is a prevalent misconception in many people’s minds---that love, like merchandise, can be “stolen”. Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for “alienation of affections”.But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.(2)When a husband or wife is “stolen” by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The “love bandit” was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken. We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children “belonging” to their parents. But nobody “belongs” to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents’ trusteeship.Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. (3)At the time, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that “caused” the break, but the lack of a real relationship.(4)On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a “third party”. This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving or a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.(5)Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has “come between” oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.(6)But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any “third party” has appeared on the scene.PART THREEI. Summary (25 points)Directions: write a summary of about 120 words. Note that your summary should cover the main points of the following text and that your quotations from the original source should be kept to a minimum of 40 words.Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the populations live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous – cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things; and that life doesn’t come to an end at half past nine at n ight. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind –they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.II. Composition (35 points)Nowadays with the competition for jobs becoming more and more intense, a great number of college graduate would rather choose to live on their parents than make a living on their own. Write an essay to air your opinions on this social issue. You may supply a title for your article or choose the title given below.COLLEGE GRADUATES OUGHT TOMAKE A LIVING ON THEIR OWNIn the first part of you writing you should present your argument, and in the second part you should support the argument with appropriate details.

大学英语A——复习题（02）
大学英语A——复习题（02）大学英语A——复习题2一、阅读理解At the University of Kansas art museum, investigators tested the effects of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, the room was painted dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical system under the carpet. Investigators made careful observations and analyzed the data gathered and compared the differences between the two groups. The experiment revealed that those who entered the dark brown room walk more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than the people in the white environment. So the conclusion can be reached like this: dark brown stimulate more activity, but the activity ended sooner.Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room communicates and influences those inside. Another experiment presented subjects（受试者）with photographs of faces that were to be rated in terms of energy and well-being. Three groups of subjects were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in a different kind of room. One group was in an "ugly" room that resembled a messy storeroom. Another group was in an average room－a nice office. The third group was in a tastefully designed living room with carpets and curtains. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the faces than did those in the ugly room. Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable, attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.1、Investigators followed the movement of the two groups by ______.A、an exhibit of paintingsB、constant observationC、an electric deviceD、the carpet参考答案:C2、The first experiment showed that people who entered the white room ______ than the people in the dark brown room.A、stayed longer in itB、spent less time in itC、were more activeD、walked more quickly参考答案:A3、In the second experiment the subjects were asked to decide ______.A、whether the people in the photos were bright or notB、how energetic and healthy the people in the photos wereC、whether they liked the people in the photos or notD、what mood the people in the photos were in参考答案:B4、If students are to get better marks in exam, it's better to ______.A、arrange them to sit in ordinary-looking roomsB、decorate their bedrooms tastefullyC、ignore the environment they are in when they are taking examsD、provide them with comfortable, nice rooms for taking the exam参考答案:D5、The main idea of the passage is that ______.A、studies make clear the effects of the color of a room on people's behaviorB、the color of a room affects the behavior of the people in itC、the color and general appearance of a room influence the behavior and attitude of the people in itD、beautifully decorated rooms can cheer up the people inside参考答案:C6、Coca-cola company changed the formula in 1985 because __________.A、it led the soft drink industry in the marketB、its market studies supported the change in the formulaC、it carried out market research for expansionD、it simply felt the need to make the change参考答案:B7、According to the passage, the drinkers rejected New Coke because of __________.A、the late response to the market by Coca-cola companyB、the reproduction of Coca-cola’s old drink formulaC、a strong dislike by Coca-cola’s regular drinkersD、the emotional relationship between the drinkers and the old soft drink参考答案:D8、The product Coca-cola was believed to stand for __________.A、traditional values and good memoriesB、traditional customs and happy daysC、past honors and efficient managementD、top quality and wonderful taste参考答案:A9、Which of the following statements is true?A、Research by Coca-cola considered emotional factors.B、Coca-cola did little research before they made the change.C、Research by Coca-cola was quantitative rather than qualitative.D、Research by Coca-cola was both quantitative and qualitative.参考答案:C10、The author of the article clearly indicates that __________.A、the weakness of the research could have been removedB、Coca-cola should have measured the quantitative factors more carefullyC、Coca-cola should have done a more extensive qualitative studyD、A slower change of the product might have improved the sales of the company参考答案:C二、词汇与语法11、My new house is really ________ for me because I can go to work in 10 minutes on foot.A、availableB、affordableC、convenientD、comfortable参考答案:C12、Ann is the only child of the family, but her parents don't ______ _ her.A、damageB、ruinC、spoilD、harm参考答案:C13、Grace advised us to withdraw ________.A、so as to get not involvedB、as not to get involvedC、so as not to get involvedD、as to not get involved参考答案:C14、I'm going to have a rest and _______.A、so does DavidB、so goes DavidC、so is DavidD、so has David参考答案:C15、The Chinese food ______ good.A、are tastedB、tastesC、is tastedD、taste参考答案:B解析:主语是The Chinese food,因此谓语动词只能用第三人称单数。

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 mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet. Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is 36 only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 37 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to 38 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive. 39 , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, 40 broken, makes the offender immediately the object of 41. It has been known as a fact that the British has a 42 for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 43. Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom 44 forecast and hence becomes a source of interest and 45 to everyone. This may be so. 46 a British cannot have much 47 in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong 48 a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate---or as inaccurate---as the weathermen in his 49. Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references 50 weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are 51 by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?”“Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” 52 the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. 53 he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 54 to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will 55 an answer from even the most reserved of the British. 36.

Reading Comprehension: (2*10=20 points, 20%) Directions: There are 2 reading 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). Decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet. Passage A What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up---we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. 56. “You would rather follow than lead”means（）. [ 2 分 ]A. you don’t like to follow othersB. you would be a member rather than a leaderC. you would be afraid of following othersD. you would like to be a leader rather than a follower参考答案： B2、 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer(). [ 2 分 ]A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. red to greyD. blue to yellow参考答案： C3、“They tell us, among other facts, that we don’t choose our favourite colours as we grow up.”“Among other facts” means(). [ 2 分 ]A. besides other factsB. in regard to other factsC. not considering other factsD. according to other facts参考答案： A4、 Which of the following is true?() [ 2 分 ]A. People’s preference of one colour to another is instinctB. People’s preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C. More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were bornD. Colours have little influence on our moods参考答案： A5、 Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of(). [ 2 分 ]A. its shapeB. its structureC. its colourD. its building materials参考答案： C6、 Passage B Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation’s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It’s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world. America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership. The competitiveness of America’s industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society---government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry. 61. Now a nation’s political influence depends on（） . [ 2 分 ]A. the strength of its military forcesB. its ability to compete in industryC. economic marketsD. both A and B参考答案： D7、 The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because of(). [ 2 分 ]A. its powerful military forcesB. its vast landC. its industrial competitivenessD. its contributions to world peace参考答案： A8、 The author indicates that()is threatening American political power. [ 2 分 ]A. other countriesB. the declining U.S. industrial baseC. a new standard for measuring powerD. less advanced technology参考答案： B9、 America succeeded in shaping world events over past 40 years probably because of (). [ 2 分 ]A. its ability to adapt technologyB. its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its peopleC. its ability to compete in the world marketsD. both A and B参考答案： D10、 The purpose of writing this article is(). [ 2 分 ]A. to draw the readers’ attention to a new standard for measuring powerB. to demonstrate American political influence in the worldC. to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial baseD. to show American industrial prowess参考答案： C五、主观题（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）1、Ⅴ.

The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Somefactory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don't know what they might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.(1)、According to the passage, our present world is under the control of ______ . 答案：DA：mad scientists B：men and women C：the unknown fear D：some super-inventions (2)、The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ______ . 答案：BA：they don't know anything about computers B：they haven't really understood computersC：there are so many computer games D：computers are often down(3)、The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ______ . 答案：AA：computers can be controlled by man B：there should be more people devoted to computersC：only young people are interested in computers D：more time and energy is required to control computers (4)、This passage is probably written to suggest that ______ . 答案：CA：some day computers can deal with all human problems B：computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobs C：people should not fear computers D：computer technology will not meet people's needs in various situations (5)、The author's attitude towards widely used computers is __答案：A____ .A：positive B：anxious C：worried D：serious2、In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography（摄影术）was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his pictures you could see everything very clearly，even the smallest things. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers（摄影家）could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusualbecause they were very lifelike（栩栩如⽣的）.Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other kinds of art.(1)、The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of ______. 答案：C。

Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of us use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time weare probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations．Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand．There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such astudy is well worth the effort(it is not，of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare’s day．1. English people ______.A．have often discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world’s grea test leaderC．are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist2．Every Englishman knows ______.A．more or less about Shakespeare B．Nothing about ShakespeareC．all Shakespeare’s writings D．only the name of the greatest English writer3．Which of the following is true?A．We use all the words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings．B．Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English．C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use D All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare4．What does the word “proverb” mean?A．Familiar sayings B．Shakespeare’s plays． C．Complaints． D．Actors and actresses．5．Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A．English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time．B．By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usagePassage twoWhen Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious，“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was thefact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the c ity’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed．This factor is exercise．in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．6．The Vienna survey may help to explain _____A．the complaints of people in apartment housesB．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s deathC．the longevity of people like Mrs．GroegerD. the image of cities in general7．The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____A．benefits of walkingB．occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city peopleD．problems of city living8．To reach the third floor of a building．it would probably be most healthful __A. to take the elevatorB．to walk up the stairsC．to ride in a carD．to find an alternative to walking9．People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __A．they don’t live near the places where they need to goB. they don’t need the exerciseC．they never have parking problemsD．they can’t afford to take the bus10．A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that ____A．air pollution is not seriousB．anyone can live to be 107C．country people should move to the cityD．walking is a healthful exercisePassage 3Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper everyday．Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago，news of important happenings----battles lost and won，kings or rulers overthrown or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another．The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate．Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen．Apart from supplying news from all over the world，newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports，radio，television and film guides，book reviews，stories，and of course．advertisements．The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products．They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space，but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers，advertisements are also very important．Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit．11. The phrase “subscribe to’’ in the first paragraph means“ ________”A．go to the newspaper stand and buyB．send their own news stories toC．agree to buy for a specific period of timeD become faithful readers of12 The habit of reading newspapers is _____A．widespread B．found among a few families C．not popular D．uncommon13．Before the time of the newspaper，______A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB. few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC．kings and rulers were often overthrown or killedD．news was passed from one person to another14 The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is ______A．wasted B．not much C. well spent D．of no use to anyone15．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries．B．Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products．C．The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products．D When newspapers are sold at a low price，the newspaper producers will lose money．Passage 4There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We do n’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．The second explanation is based on the place where President V an Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York．V an Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was calle d“OK”．16．The author ______.A. believes both of the stories B．doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC．is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for educating the children.17 .According to the passage，President Jackson ______.A．couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC．often had his assistants sign documents for himD .wasn’t good at reading，writing or spelling18.According to the first stor y, the term “OK” _______.A. was approved of by President Jackson B．was the title of some Official documents C．was first used by President Jackson D．was an old way to spell“all correct’’19 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”______.A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club”B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Buren’s clubD．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election20．According to the second story．the term“OK”was first used ___.A．by Van BurenB．in a presidential electionC．to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD．by the leader of the‘‘Old Kinderhook Club”Passage5If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa，because they had not learned to write．Sometimes．of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call ’remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when usedagain and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?________A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliable.B．Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history． C．A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D．Where there are no written records．there is no history．22．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ___.A．there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC．the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD．the people there did not know how to write23．“Remembered history”refers to ___．A．history based on a person’s imaginationB .stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC .songs and dances about the most important eventsD .both B and C24．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when _____.A. it is written downB .no written account is availableC．it proves to be timeD．people are interested in it25 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _____.A．kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC．told exact stories of the most important happeningsD．made more songs and dancesPassage 6Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence．They show that he was learning Latin，was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society，and was reading English literature．At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics．In fact，his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman，and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian of that day，he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg．In terms of formal training then，Washington contrasts sharplywith some other early American Presidents such as John Adams，Thomas Jefferson and James Madison．In later years，Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress，or on any subject that had not to do with everyday，practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders，he did not visit the country he admired so much．Thus，unlike Jefferson and Adams，he never reached Europe.26．Why didn’t Washington go to college?A．His family could not afford it． B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time．C．He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen D．The author doesn’t give any reason．27．Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____.A．lacked practice in public speaking B．felt his education was not good enoughC．didn’t like arguing and debating with people D. felt that debating was like intellectual training28. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he _____.A．didn’t really ca re about going B．didn’t know French leadersC．couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders D．was too busy to travel29. According to the author ______.A Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadv antage in later life B．Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French C．Washington was not as good a president as Adams，Jefferson or MadisonD Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen30．The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education _____.A. was of great variety，covering many SubjectsB. was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC．may seem poor by modern standards,but was good enough for his timeD. was rather limited for a presidentIII.

大学英语A——复习题7一、阅读理解The West begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous workre-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes?1、How many volumes have been published so far?A、Five.B、Four.C、Three.D、None.参考答案:B2、What is special about the first volume?A、It introduces the world intellectual history.B、It introduces the history of Europe.C、It demonstrates that the Chinese made many inventions.D、It explains why China lags behind the west in science and technology.参考答案:C3、In the first paragraph, the word “skeptical" means ______.A、doubtfulB、worriedC、sadD、angry参考答案:A4、Which of the following inventions in NOT made by the Chinese?A、Gunpowder.B、Motor cars.C、Paddle boats.D、Bridge design.参考答案:B5、The best title for this passage is ______.A、Development of Science and Technology in ChinaB、Comparisons Between the East and the WestC、China Is Catching UpD、China's Inventions参考答案:D6、The author’s way of treating her son ____________.A、is shared by many parentsB、is encouraged by her motherC、proves to be quite successfulD、shows little concern for the child参考答案:A7、It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A、parents should learn to make friends with their childrenB、parents need to follow the advice of parenting booksC、today’s children enjoy more freedom than the previous generationD、today’s parents are better at raising children than the previous generation参考答案:C8、According to the passage, to have “discipline” means that parents should ___________.A、adopt the “do it because I say so” approachB、teach their children to understand the rulesC、negotiate with their children for a decisionD、never allow their children to have their ways参考答案:B9、If Ronda Radice is the parent who has “bucked the trend”, which of the following can also be cited as the example for “bucking the trend”?A、Parents buy whatever their children want.B、Parents treat their children as their equals.C、Parents make decisions for their children.D、Parents maintain authority over their children.参考答案:D10、The main point of the passage is to __________.A、compare different ways of raising childrenB、analyze the problems faced by today’s parentsC、explain the importance of understanding childrenD、point out the mistakes made by the older generation参考答案:B二、词汇与语法11、The fire was finally brought under control, but not ______ extensive damage had been caused.A、beforeB、afterC、sinceD、as参考答案:A12、The writer tried to be as _______ as possible by cutting off every unnecessary word.A、comfortableB、conciseC、connectedD、convenient参考答案:B13、I'd like to explain the proposals _______ we have received many objections.A、to whichB、to whereC、to whoD、to what参考答案:A14、― Cathy, this is Mike.
