全国英语等级考试二级(pets2)阅读理解练习题二

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient (便利的) way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations (探险) have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explore (勘探) ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.1. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.2. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn't completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor3. Why does the author mention a steamship in paragraph 5?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.4. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea5. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. At the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.参考答案【1】D【2】A【3】A【4】B【5】D。

英语二级试题

英语二级试题阅读理解阅读理解一Passage 1Living in a big city has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, cities offer great opportunities for employment. There are many job opportunities available, and people can often find work that matches their skills and interests. Big cities also provide access to a wide range of cultural and recreational activities. Museums, theaters, parks, and sports facilities are plentiful, and there is always something to see or do.On the other hand, cities can be overcrowded and polluted. The high population density in cities often leads to traffic congestion and long commuting times. Air quality may also be poor due to high levels of pollution from vehicles and factories. In addition, living costs in cities are often higher, with expensive housing and other goods and services.In conclusion, living in a big city has its pros and cons. It offers great job opportunities and access to various cultural and recreational activities. However, it also comes with challenges such as overcrowding, pollution, and high living costs.阅读理解二Passage 2Social media has become an integral part of modern life for many people. It allows individuals to connect with others, share information and experiences, and express themselves online. However, there are both positive and negative aspects of social media that need to be considered.One of the advantages of social media is that it allows people to stay connected with friends and family, no matter the distance. It also provides a platform for individuals to share their achievements and important moments with their network. Additionally, social media can be used for educational purposes, as it allows users to access and share information easily.On the other hand, social media can also have negative effects. It can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, as individuals compare themselves to others’ curated online personas. The constant exposure to others’ seemingly perfect lives can lead to feelings of envy and dissatisfaction. Moreover, social media can be a platform for cyberbullying and harassment.In conclusion, social media has both positive and negative aspects. It can enhance connections and provide a platform for self-expression, but it can also contribute to negative self-perception and online harassment.语法填空语法填空一Complete the following passage with the correct form of the verbs provided.I (1. arrive) ________ at the airport early in the morning.

全国英语等级考试二级阅读题及答案：生活类1

There were two interesting pieces of news items in the paper a few years ago. Both of them are connected with computers —the best invention of the 20th century One was about a man who received a bill from the telephone company for $ 2,000 a month for doing nothing. The telephone bill came from a computer which made a terrifying mistake; that man’s bill was only $23.26. The other item was not as amusing.A man walked into the unguarded computer room of a large packaged food company and expertly programmed the computer to pay him $2, 000 a month for raw meat which he “supplied”to the company. Of course he never sent the meat, but he certainly received the money. The computer wrote out a bill, and even “signed”it. It was only a random(随便的) check that uncovered the trick. It could be happening in thousands of other companies all over the world.Computers are not the magical workers that some people say they are. They make mistakes, they’re sometimes slower than human beings and they’re easily fooled.The US used to conscript(征兵) people with the help of a computer. The army sent out a card, which had to be filled in and sent back. It was easy to avoid being called up simply by spreading candle-wax(蜡) on the card. The computer couldn’t read the card, and did nothing with it. It’s in our everyday life that computers cause many problems. Let’s get back to using people instead of computers, before a mistake that we can’t put right.1. From the passage we can conclude _______.A. the paper is telling a lieB. the first sentence is the topic sentenceC. the two news items made people surprisedD. If a man did nothing at all for the telephone company, he would still get $2,000 a month2.

The following two stories clearly showhow Coolidge enjoyed talking little.When he was vice-president <副总统>, Coolidge had plenty of chances to take part in Washington’s social life, especially many dinner parties. Knowing nothing about the art of conversation, he was not in any way popular among the ladies at the parties.At one party, the hostess tried to help with the problem and placed him next to Alice Roosevelt, daughter of former president. Miss Roosevelt began to chat in her usual attractive manner, but her efforts were far from being able to make the vice-president bee interested. In the end, she said, "I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must feel terrible not being talked to."Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge answered in a low voice, "Well, a man has to eat somewhere."Later, when he was president and again at the dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to a most clever society woman, who seemed to manage to change Coolidge’s life. "Oh, Mr. President,"she said, "You are always so quiet. I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you."The president became angry and then said, "You lose."56.

However, fish do have ears inside their bodies, near the brain, and they hear very well with them. Some fish have been taught to recognize the difference between sounds better than some human beings do.Many underwater animals make noises only by chance while they are doing something else. Other sounds are real munications of simple sort, telling one fish of the presence and direction of another. A few noises may be warning messages or discovery of food, etc. The earliest scientific report on fish sounds referred to one of these.A new field in science is learning to recognize and use underwater sounds. It depends on the same skill that man has shown in recognizing birds and other land creatures by their calls. But this method is a greater challenge than bird watching, for many of the animals of the sea cannot befollowed in any other known way. Their voices cry for attention. Yet we still have too little knowledge about many of the call makers. Perhaps people will get to know more fully the meaning of the calls and what the call makers are. It seems that the great oceans are for daring man to explore the secrets of the place from which his forefathers<祖先> came so long ago.61. According to the passage, fish hear sounds well with ________. 〔得分：2分〕A>ears outside their bodiesB>brainsC>bodies D>ears inside their bodies62.

Money today is also made out of something that can be folded. It’s made out of paper. Today most of our money is bills.Most people do some kind of work to get money. With that money, they can buy the things they want and need. This could be food, a car, or a trip. They can also save some. They would do this by putting it in a bank.

公共英语二级阅读理解专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析)

公共英语二级阅读理解专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that hands-free cellphones are just as harmful to drivers as hand-held ones because it is the conversation, not the phone, that is distracting(分散)their attention. “Even though your eyes are looking right at something, when you are on the cellphone, you are not as likely to see it,” says Professor David Strayer. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, it’s not that critical(危急的), but that 1% could be the time a child runs into the street,” he adds. Dr. Strayer’ s studies have also found that talking on a cellphone is far more distracting than talking with a passenger. Listening to the radio, to music or to a book on tape also isn’t as distracting, because it doesn’t require the same level of interaction as a conversation. But even drivers may miss some details of a book on tape if their attention is focused on driving tasks. Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important—like police officers learn to search faces in crowds. And the Utah researchers have found a rare group of “super-taskers”—about 2. 5% of the population—who seem able to attend to more than one thing with ease. Many more people think they can effectively do several things at the same time, but they are really turning their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either. Clearly, it is easier to put some tasks together than others. “ Not all distractions are the same,” says Dr. Strayer. Things like cleaning and working out can be done automatically(自动地)while the mind is focused elsewhere. But doing homework and texting at the same time isn’ t possible. Even talking and watching TV is difficult. “Just try talking with your wife while watching football. It’s impossible,” jokes Dr. Strayer.1．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The harm in using phones while driving.B．The advantages of hand-held phones.C．The danger of running in the street.D．The causes of road accidents.正确答案：A解析：主旨题。

People from other countries know the names Washington, Kennedy and so on. However, many men who have served as President of the United States have not been famous in other parts of the world. One example is J.Q .Adams, the sixth man to serve as U.S.President.Very little happened while Adams was President. It was an unhappy time for him, and he wasn't very effective, when his term ended, he went back to the Congress and served as a representative sentative(众议院议员). While he wasin Congress, people began to respect him more than they had done while he was President. Adams was strongly against slavery and tried to outlaw it in Washington D.C.People began to look back on his presidency with a different view. Now they saw that he was an independent man with high ideal who loved his country and hated slavery Adams died in 1848 while speaking in the House of Representative.When Adams served as the sixth U.S. President, ____________.A.his people didn't regard him as a great manB.he tried a lot of means to get rid of slaveryC.his high ideal made an impression on American peopleD.he did a lot of things against laws2.In the past, news was______.A.sent by telegraphB.passed from one person to anotherC.sent by letterD.sent by telephone3.It is obvious that UNESCO ______.A.is a company in FranceB.is a world organization in the U. N.C.works mainly at fighting against illiteracyD.had many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy4.The reason "Father was in a hurry to get home" was that he ______.A.wasn't feeling very wellB.hated to drive in the darkC.wanted to take some exerciseD.didn't want to be caught by the police5.Although the sport is very popular, some people are still ______.A.expanding its equipmentB.asking for instructionsC.afraid of going down the mountainsidesD.curious about the sport6.A dog is a more demanding pot than a cat because ______.A.it must be trained so that it won't biteB.it demands more food and spaceC.it needs more love and careD.it must be looked after carefully7.A reservoir is used ______.A.to keep the fields wetB.to store waterC.to join canalsD.to prevent farmers from getting water8.One of the quickest and most effective ways to improve your vocabulary is by learning to recognize the most common Latin and Greek roots, since any one of them can help you define a number of English words. Whenever you come upon an unfamiliar word, first check to see if it has a recognizable root. If you know that the Latin root "ami" for example, means like or love, you can easily figure out that "amiable" means pleasant, friendly and "amorous" means loving. Even ff you cannot define a word exactly, recognizing the root will still give you a general idea of the word's meaning. Remembering thatthe Greek root "geo" means earth would certainly help you define "geophysics" as the physics of the earth, but it also might help you figure out that "geocentric" has to do with the center of the earth or with the earth as a center. Begin by studying the following lists of common Latin and Greek roots and representative words.The word "geochemistry" most probably means the chemistry of ______. A.the earth B.the moon C.the ocean D.the minerals9.The first tin coins were made ______.A.in ChinaB.in PhilippineC.in EnglandD.in countries of Africa10.Which of the following is true?A.Mr. Reese was luckier than the soldiers.B.Both Mr. Reese and the soldiers were out of luck.C.Nothing made Mr. Reese complain.D.The soldiers wanted to help Mr. Reese.二、2.英语知识运用(10题)11.【B18】A.containsB.containingC.containedD.having contained12.【B10】A.someB.suchC.lessD.no13.【B11】A.normalmonC.unusualD.quick14.【B4】A.materialsB.affairsC.mattersD.things15.

全国英语等级考试二级(pets2)阅读理解练习题四

Why do we have in a camera a lens(镜头)instead of a simple hole?The reason can be seen from the figures(图像).In Figure 1, the hole is small. Rays of light from a point (P1)outside reach a very small part of the wall opposite, and we see there a small point. But when the hole is bigger, as in Figure 2, rays from the point(P2)can cover a larger part of the wall opposite, and we don't see a clear point, Rays from other points(Q) outside can also fall on the same place inside. Therefore the picture is not clear when the hole is big and it is not bright when the hole is small because very very little light can pass through it.We can get better result with a lens. If the lens is made in the shape shown in Figure 3, all the rays of light from the point(P3) are thrown on point(P') inside. The picture which we see, therefore, is clear, and it is also bright because more light can pass through a lens than through a small hole.1. In Figure 1 we see a faint small point on the wall because ________.A. the point(P1) is very smallB. the hole isn't big enoughC. light rays don't travel in straight linesD. light rays can't pass through a small hole2. Figure 2 shows that the bigger the hole is,_____________.A. the more light can pass throughB. the clearer the picture will beC. the better result we will getD. the faster the light rays travel3. From figure 3, we can see a lens __________.A. can form a clear pictureB. can make light go in a straight lineC. can help light rays to go fasterD. cannot give the picture more light than in Fig. 24. The main idea of the second paragraph of the article is that __________.A. a smaller hole is better than a bigger oneB. big holes are better than small onesC. both a big hole and a small one have their weak pointsD. light rays are sure to pass through a hole no matter it is big or small5. Which of the following statements is true?A. Light can go through all kinds of materialsB. A camera can't be made without a lensC. The lens is only used in a cameraD. Most of the light we get is from the lens参考答案【1】A【2】A【3】A 【4】C 【5】D。

For her first twenty-four year, she'd been known as Deb bie--a name that didn't suit her good looks and elegant manner. "My name has always made me think I should Be a cheer leader," She complained. "I just don't feel like a Debbie!"One day, while filling out an application form for publishing job, the young woman suddenly changed middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie. "That was the smartest thing I ever did," She says now. "As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie. I feh more comfortable with myself.., and other people started to take me more seriously". Two years after her successful job interview, the former waitress is now a successful magazine editor friends and associates call her Lynne.Naturally, the name change didn't cause Debbie/I.ynne's professional achievement but it surely helped if only by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talents. Social scientists say that what you're called can affect your life. Throughout history, names have not only identified people But also described them. "... As his name is, so is he..." says the Bible. For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserves, simpleness or charm may be suggested by your name and encourageother people before they even meet you.Of course, names with a good sense can work for you even encouraging new acquaintances. A recent survey showed that American men thought Susan to be the most attractive female name, while women believed Richard and David were the most attractive to men. One woman I know turned down a blind date with a man named Harry because "he sounded dull". Several evenings later she came up to me at a party, pressing for an introduction to a very nice man with whom they looked at each other all evening. "Oh, 'I said. "You mean Harry? "She was ill at ease.1. Debbie's changing her name______.A. had actually little to do with her careerB. was what she happened to do when filling out the formC. did have an effect on her successD. entirely contributed to her luck答案: C 指导：由第三段第一句话可知A错，B和D不准确。
