Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题，每题2分，共40分)Directions：In this part there are four passages．Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions．Read the passage and answer the questions．Then mark your answer On the answer sheet．Passage OneQuestions 1~5 are based on the following passage.Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardening____A. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of freshvegetables_____A. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your garden ___A. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude that_____A. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban andsuburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage TwoQuestions 6~10 are based on the following passage.In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to thedry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work that secretaries did. "Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve thehigh-tech work-and then men will want to do it again."That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they_____A. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stockings and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to____A. be her boss's memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss's clothesD. telephone the boss's wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by____A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives9. A secretary in the future will __A. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before long __A. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women's jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage ThreeQuestions 11~15 are based on the following passage.Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a l-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the filmbegins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫).If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, theauthor shows____A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve intocomplex organisms_____A. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage that_____A. Earth is cool at firstB. Earth is hot at the beginningC. there are oceans at the beginningD. there is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs____A. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence issigned____A. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year's DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year's DayPassage FourQuestions 16~20 are based on the following passage.Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23 % longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条),when the "benefits" of online job searching were unavailable. "A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing ( 浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online résumé~ site, 72 % said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position's description."The more unrelated résumés managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position," points out Challenger. "One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their résumés in front of the hiring executive for an interview.""All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.""Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic résumés," concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings __A. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job seekersC. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks ___ should be considered more important bythe unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending résumés by emailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because__A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described on the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting résumés19. It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to____A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of some unrelated resumesC. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers inperson20. According to the passage-the Internet has revolutionized job huntingby____A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the reemployment situationD. reducing the interview timePart ⅡVocabulary and Structure ( 共40小题,每题1分，共40分) Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

江西专升本统考英语历年真题(2003-2012) 5
2003年江西省“专升本”英语统一考试试卷（120分钟）Part ⅠListening comprehension （20 points）(略)Part ⅡReading Comprehension （30 points）Directions:In this section there are four passages. Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外行人) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery (手术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found _______.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land through BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ______.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders _______.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, th eir cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don’t have the extra money or who don’t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will gobankrupt (破产); that is, it won’t make enou gh money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out of business. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don’t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that _______.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is _______.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government’s role In preventing pollutio nD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from thin passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses’ chance of making profit.Within the single market, the Community (欧共体) is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission’s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to cre ating a favorable business environment, the community’s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology (生物技术) and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of new outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has found ______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the community’s general policy ______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34.

I have an older brother who is studying at a vocational college. He really wants to become a university student and get a bachelor's degree. But to do that, he has to take a big English test called the Jiangxi Province Upgrading Examination. Wow, that's a long name!My brother has been studying really hard for this important test. He showed me some practice questions and they look pretty difficult to me. But I'll try my best to explain them simply, like how I would to my little sister. Here are some sample questions from the reading section:The first one says: "John went to the park. He saw birds singing in the trees. 'This is a beautiful day,' he thought." Then it asks: "What did John see at the park?" The right answer is B) birds singing in the trees. That one wasn't too bad!But here's a harder one: "The solar system consists of the sun and everything that orbits around it, including planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids and comets. Which of the following is NOT part of our solar system?" The answers are: A) Earth B) The Moon C) Alpha Centauri D) Mars. Hmmm, I've never heard of Alpha Centauri before. I'll have to ask my brother about that!Okay, now for the writing section. One of the prompts is: "Some students get jobs during their free time while others only focus on their studies. Which approach do you think is better and why?" Woah, that's a long question! I'd probably write something like "I think students should not work because they need to spend their time studying hard to get good grades." But I'm just a little kid, so what do I know? My brother will have to write a much longer and better response.The listening section looks really challenging too. You have to listen to recordings and answer questions about the main ideas and details. Like if they played "The boy rode his bicycle to school every day. One morning, he got a flat tire on his way." It might ask "How did the boy normally get to school?" and you'd have to bubble in C) by bicycle. Listening is hard for me because my little sister is always talking nonstop!Now for the hardest part - speaking! One question says "Some families now have only one child due to government policies. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? Why?" Oh no, I'd be so nervous trying to give a whole speech in English about that topic. I'd probably just say "Umm, I don't know...having one kid is okay I guess?" Then I'd run out of things to say. Speaking in front of people is scary!Math is hard for me too, but my brother is pretty good at it. He showed me a math question that said "If one bag of rice costs 2 and a family needs 5 bags for the month, how much will they have to pay?" I worked it out...2 x 5 = 10, so the answer is 10. I was proud of myself for that one!Wow, I have a whole new respect for how difficult this upgrading exam is after seeing those sample questions. My brother must be one of the smartest people ever to ace a test like that. I'll be cheering him on for sure!Well, that's all I can really say about the Jiangxi English test. Writing this essay has made me realize how lucky I am to just be a kid without those kinds of huge responsibilities. I'll leave the really hard stuff to my brilliant older brother. Ganbatte, bro!篇2The Big Fancy English TestHi there! My name is Little Wang and I'm 8 years old. I live in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. My big sister Xiaomei just took a really important English test called the Jiangxi Provincial Exam for upgrading from junior college to a university degree. She studied sooooo hard for it. I'm going to tell you all about the big fancy test she took!First of all, the test was super duper long. It had listening, reading, writing, translation, and speaking sections. The listening part had conversations, news reports, lectures and more that Xiaomei had to listen to carefully. Then she had to answer multiple choice questions about what she heard. There were different accents like British English, American English, and even Australian English! Xiaomei said the listening was pretty tough.Next up was the reading section. This had all kinds of passages like news articles, stories, advertisements, and academic writings. After reading each one, Xiaomei had to answer detailed comprehension questions to show she understood the main ideas and important details. Some of the passages were crazy long, over 1000 words! Xiaomei had to read quickly but carefully. The reading questions were not easy either.Then came the writing section, which Xiaomei said was one of the hardest parts. She had to write different kinds of essays, like an argument essay, a response essay, and even a data analysis essay where she looked at charts and graphs. The essays all had to be organized properly with clear main ideas and supporting details. Xiaomei also had to use advanced vocabulary and sentence structures. Phew, writing academic essays in English is no joke!After the writing section was the translation part. Xiaomei had to translate passages from English into Chinese and from Chinese into English. This tested if she could accurately translate back and forth between the two languages on different topics like science, business, and culture. My sister said the translations were super tricky because you had to know specific vocabulary for different subjects.Finally, there was the speaking section where Xiaomei had to answer questions and give presentations in English. She had to speak clearly with good pronunciation, intonation, and fluency. Xiaomei also had to organizeher ideas logically when giving longer responses. Talking smoothly in English without stopping is not easy!When Xiaomei finished the whole test, she was exhausted! It took her over 6 hours to complete everything. She had been studying English grammar, vocabulary, reading strategies, writing techniques, and more for months to prepare. The Jiangxi Provincial English Exam is seriously no joke.But why did Xiaomei have to take such a crazy difficult test? Well, she wants to upgrade her associate's degree from junior college to a full bachelor's degree from a university. In China, this means taking an extra exam like the Jiangxi one to prove her English skills are good enough for university study. Lots of junior college students take these exams to continue their education.So did Xiaomei pass the big fancy test? We'll have to wait a few weeks to get her score! She felt pretty good about most of it, but there were some parts that stumped her for sure. No matter what, I'm really proud of my sister for working so hard. Even if she has to retake it, I know she'll keep trying until she achieves her dream.Studying English is super important but also super difficult, as Xiaomei can tell you! There's so much vocabulary to memorize, grammar rules to learn, and skills to practice like reading, writing, listening and speaking. But English can also open up tons ofamazing opportunities, like going to a great university or traveling the world.I'm only 8 but I've already started learning English too. Who knows, maybe oneday I'll be taking the huge Jiangxi English test just like Xiaomei! For now, I'll just focus on the basics. But I have a new appreciation for how talented my big sis is and how hard she's working towards her goals. You go, Xiaomei!Well, that's the scoop on the big fancy Jiangxi Provincial English Exam from this little kid. It's a monster of a test, but one that could change your whole future if you pass. I'll let you know if my sister made the grade! Study hard, and maybe I'll see you at university someday.篇3Wow, the Jiangxi Province English Exam Seems Really Hard!Hi friends! Did you know there's this really tough English test that some students have to take in Jiangxi Province? It's called the Jiangxi Province English Exam for upgrading from junior college to university. I learned about it from my older cousin who is studying at a junior college. She has to take this big exam if she wants to get her bachelor's degree from a university. It sounds super difficult!From what I understand, the exam covers listening, reading, writing, and speaking - all in English of course. My cousin says the listening section is brutally hard. They play recordings of conversations and lectures, and you have to answer detailed questions proving you understood everything. There are even clips with different English accents from around the world. How confusing!The reading part doesn't sound much easier. You have to read long passages on academic topics and answer comprehension questions. My cousin mentioned something about analyzing the author's viewpoint and writing a critical response essay. That's the kind of stuff university students do, not junior college kids like her!But here's the really scary part - the writing section. Test takers have to write a logically organized essay of over 400 words...in English! They have to develop an argument, provide examples, and use proper grammar, vocabulary and style. My hand gets tired just thinking about writing that much. How do they have time to translate their thoughts from Chinese to English while writing?Oh, and then there's the speaking portion at the very end. Can you imagine how nervous you'd feel? You have to answerquestions, describe images, and have an entire conversation...all while being recorded. My cousin said you get deductions for bad pronunciation, incoherent responses, or long awkward pauses. No pressure at all!Honestly, I'm in awe of anyone who can pass this incredibly difficult test. My English skills are okay for an elementary student, but nowhere near good enough to handle tasks like that. I'll be lucky if I can watch a movie without subtitles by the time I'm in junior college!The exam is supposed to assess whether students are ready for the higher academic demands of a university education. But yeesh, it sounds more like a torture device designed by an evil English teacher. Lots of junior college students unfortunately fail on their first try and have to retake it.I asked my cousin how she's preparing and her study regimen is insane. She has private English tutoring sessions multiple times per week. She watches English movies and TV shows constantly, taking notes on vocabulary and grammar. She reads English books and newspapers daily to build her comprehension skills. She even does speaking practice on video calls with a conversation partner in America!On top of the exam prep, she still has to keep up with her regular junior college coursework too. She says she has almost no free time and stays up late every night. My cousin used to be so relaxed and fun, but now she seems stressed and anxious all the time. I really hope all her hard work pays off and she passes on the first attempt.If she does well, universities will evaluate her total exam score along with her junior college grades to decide if they'll accept her. The higher her score, the better her chances of getting into a prestigious university program. So there's a ton of pressure to perform your absolute best.I don't know how my cousin and other Jiangxi students juggle it all. The exam itself sounds incredibly challenging, let alone balancing it with coursework and exam prep. They must be incredibly determined and have unreal English abilities. Or maybe they're just a little crazy!Either way, I have a newfound respect for anyone who can conquer the terrifying Jiangxi Province English Exam. If I'm still struggling with basic English verb tenses when I'm their age, there's no way I'd want to face that massive test. I'll just stick to writing shorter essays and stories, you know, at an elementary level!Good luck to all the exam warriors out there. You're braver than the Chinese troops who fought the Japanese invasion during World War II! Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But you get what I mean - you've got to be tough to pass that crazy English test. I'll be cheering you on from the elementary school sidelines!Sample Exam Questions and Answers:ListeningQuestion: What method does the professor suggest for reducing test anxiety?A) MeditationB) Positive self-talkC) Eating a nutritious dietD) Getting enough sleepAnswer: BReadingQuestion: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a contributing factor in the author's main argument?A) Statistical data on climate patternsB) Evidence from ancient tree ring recordsC) Increased human consumption of fossil fuelsD) Effects of deforestation in tropical rainforestsAnswer: AWriting Sample Essay Prompt: Some people believe that technological innovations have had a primarily negative impact on modern society, while others argue that the positives outweigh the negatives. Take a stance on this debate and develop an argument with relevant examples and evidence to support your position.SpeakingQuestion: Describe the processes involved in applying for university admission. What are some important factors applicants should consider?Answer: A few key areas.../Grand study load transition between high school/University applications competitive, require strong grades test scores extracurricular activities.../Students need budget time effectively, be strategic about where apply...篇4My English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I just took the biggest English test of my life - the University Promotion Exam for Jiangxi Province. It was super tough but also really exciting!The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I was pretty nervous at first, but then I remembered all the hard work I put into studying English with my teacher Ms. Wang. She's the best teacher ever and really prepared us well.The listening section was first. We had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. There were conversations between people as well as longer lectures on topics like science and history. I tried to listen super carefully and write down any key words or dates I recognized.After listening came the reading section - my favorite! We had passages to read about all sorts of cool subjects like space exploration, endangered animals, and ancient civilizations. The questions asked us to identify main ideas, make inferences, and give evidence from the texts. Reading is my strongest skill in English so I felt pretty confident working through those passages.Then came the writing section which was a bit scary. We had to write an essay responding to a prompt about an important issue facing the world today. I chose to write about environmental protection because it's something I really care about. We've learned a lot about things like recycling, reducing pollution, and protecting habitats for animals. I made sure to organize my essay into clear paragraphs with examples and reasons supporting my main points.Finally, there was the speaking section where we had to answer questions and give our opinions verbally. The test assistant asked me questions about my hobbies, future goals, and what I'd do if I became a teacher. It was kind of fun getting to just chat in English, but I did have to think carefully about how to express my thoughts clearly.After what felt like an eternal exam session, it was finally over!I was tired but felt proud for giving it my absolute best effort. My parents took me out for dumplings that night to celebrate.A few weeks later, I got my scores back...and I passed! I'll be able to attend an amazing university prep program to get ready for applying to top schools. All that hard work mastering things like grammar, vocabulary, comprehension skills, and essay writing really paid off.Some of the reading passages on the test were about explorers who made amazing journeys into the unknown. Taking this huge exam kind of felt like my own exploration into the world of academics and English mastery. While it was challenging, I'm so glad I embarked on the adventure!My friends and I have been celebrating by teaching each other new English phrases we learned from the test. Studying hard but also trying to make it fun - that's my recipe for success when it comes to English!I can't wait to see what other exciting English challenges and opportunities await me in the years ahead. But for now, I'm just feeling relieved to have this major test behind me. Hopefully some of my experiences can help encourage other students working towards their English dreams too!Never give up, keep studying, and make sure to get a good night's sleep before any big exams. Wisdom from a cultured10-year-old English student! Let me know if you need any other tips.篇5My Big English Test AdventureHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 9 years old. I just had the craziest experience taking a really important English test called the Jiangxi Province Exam for upgrading from junior college to a full university degree. It was super difficult but also really exciting! Let me tell you all about my big adventure.It all started a few months ago when my mom and dad told me I would be taking this huge English exam. At first, I was really nervous because English is definitely not my best subject in school. I much prefer math, science, and gym class. But my parents explained how passing this test would allow me to go to a great university later on, so I knew I had to try my very best.To get ready, I studied English for hours every single day after school instead of playing outside with my friends. My amazing teacher Mrs. Wang helped me a ton by going over all the kinds of questions that would be on the test – reading comprehension, writing essays, listening to conversations, you name it. She's so smart and patient in explaining everything clearly.Finally, the big day arrived! I was feeling a mixture of excited and scared as my dad dropped me off at the huge test center. There were so many students there, it looked like an anthill with everyone rushing around. The proctors led us into theauditorium where we would take the exam. I gulped as I saw all the rows of desks laid out. This was really happening!The first section was listening, which I was quite worried about. But then I realized the conversations and instructions were spoken slowly and clearly. Phew! As long as I focused hard, I could understand most of it. The reading comprehension was pretty hard though, with all these crazy long passages. My eyes started crossing after a while from staring so intently at the questions.We got a break for lunch, which was a couple of hours of relaxation time. Some students looked totally stressed, but not me! I just hung out, ate my snacks, and didn't think about the test at all. My dad always says you have to stay cool, calm, and confident. No point in freaking out over something that's already happening!The writing section came after lunch and that was the hardest part for sure. We had to write a whole essay analysis about the environmental benefits of wind power versus coal power plants. I'm just a fourth grader - what do I know about that?? I ended up just kind of faking it by using lots of big words and scientific-sounding sentences that didn't really make any sense. Hopefully the graders couldn't tell!At long last, the test finally finished in the late afternoon. I was exhausted but felt such a huge sense of relief and accomplishment. No matter how I scored, I could be proud of myself for powering through such a challenging exam at my age. My parents were so happy with me when I got picked up. We celebrated by going out for my favorite dumplings!A couple of months later, the results came in the mail. I...passed I'm officially eligible to go to a regular 4-year university after graduating junior college. My parents were jumping around, cheering and hugging me tightly. All those hours of hard work and sacrifice had paid off in a big way.So that's the story of my wild adventure with the Jiangxi English exam. Was it hard? You bet. Did I struggle and want to give up sometimes? Absolutely. But I never quit, and in the end, I conquered that monster of a test through perseverance and believing in myself. I don't know what my future holds, but one thing is for certain - no standardized test will ever intimidate me again after this! I'm ready to take on the world.篇6The Big Grown-Up English TestWow, you guys won't believe what my big sister Amy just told me! She said she has to take this huge, mega, crazy-difficult English test soon. It's called the Jiangxi Province Test for Upgrading from Junior College to University. That's a really long name, so I'll just call it the Big Grown-Up English Test.Amy has been studying at a junior college for the last two years after graduating from high school. But she says junior college is just the first step, and that to get an even better job she needs a bachelor's degree from a university. The problem is, she can't just apply to a university straight from junior college. Nope, she first has to pass this Big Grown-Up English Test!I asked Amy to tell me all about the test, and here's what she said: The test has two main parts - listening and reading. For the listening part, they play audio recordings and you have to answer multiple choice questions about what you heard. For the reading part, you read some long passages and then also answer multiple choice questions.Amy made a really worried face and said the reading passages are crazy hard. They have all these big fancy words that she's never seen before in her life! And the listening recordings use all kinds of accents and speak super fast. She said it's nothinglike the easy readings and listenings we do in my English classes at elementary school.But here's the really crazy part - Amy said the test is entirely in English! No Chinese at all, can you believe it? The instructions, the questions, the reading passages, the audio recordings - every single bit is 100% English. She has to understand literally everything that's being said or written and be able to read and listen perfectly. Just thinking about it makes my head spin!Apparently there's also a writing section where you have to write a short essay, also 100% in English of course. Amy is pretty good at writing essays in Chinese, but writing one in pure English from start to finish? She looked like she was going to faint when she told me that part!I felt really bad for poor Amy having to take such a difficult and scary test. All those hours and hours of hardcore English reading, listening, and writing? No thanks! I'll stick to the easy English we do in class for now. Give me that Big Grown-Up English Test in 10 more years, maybe I'll be ready by then!Amy said she has been studying day and night to prepare. She watches English movies and shows, listens to English podcasts, reads English books and news, and practices writing essays. She even went and bought all these sample test bookswith practice questions for each section. I saw the books - they were gigantic, fatter than my schoolbag when it's stuffed with textbooks! Just flipping through them made me exhausted.When I asked Amy if she thinks she's ready, she sighed and said "I really hope so, but I'm still pretty nervous." She has to get a high score on the Big Grown-Up English Test to get admitted to her dream university program. I could see her hands shaking a little bit just talking about it. Poor thing, no wonder she looks so stressed out these days!Well, the big test is happening next weekend. I'll make sure to give Amy a huge high-five and tell her "You got this, sis!" right before she goes in. Maybe I'll even bake her some cookies for good luck! Heck, I think I'd need to eat about twenty cookies before attempting that crazy difficult test. Kudos to Amy and all her fellow students for being brave enough to take it on.Whew, I'm getting tired just from talking about this Big Grown-Up English Test! Thank goodness I'm way too young to worry about that right now. For the next few years, I'll stick to the fun English lessons and games we do at school. Then when I'm all grown-up, maybe I'll be ready to face that huge English beast too! But no rush, I'm more than happy being a little kid for now. Fighting giant English tests can wait!。

江西省历年专升本英语试题
2001年江西省“专升本”英语统一考试试卷（120分钟）Part ⅠListening comprehension （20 points）(略)Part ⅡReading Comprehension （30 points）Directions: In this section there are four passages. Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外行人) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery (手术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found _______.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land through BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ______.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders _______.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, their cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don’t have the extra money or who don’t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will go bankrupt (破产); that is, it won’t make enough money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out of business. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don’t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that _______.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is _______.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government’s role In preventing pollutionD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from thin passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses’ chance of making pr ofit.Within the single market, the Community (欧共体) is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission’s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to creating a favorable bu siness environment, the community’s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology (生物技术) and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of new outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has found ______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the community’s general policy ______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34. The European Community has adopted some special measures to _______.A) make long-term development of industries possibleB) place some industries before other industriesC) open new markets in other countriesD) enable new technology to be used in manufacturing35. which of the following is likely to be the title of the passage?A) Advantages of a Single Large-scale MarketB) Development of European IndustriesC) Imports and Exports of European CommunityD) Policies of European CommunityPart ⅢV ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: In this section there are 45 incomplete sentences.

2005年江西省高校专升本考试英语试卷（供2006年高校专升本考生参考）Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Directions: There are 4 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage oneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In the past, a cit y’s major shopping district was in its downtown area. People could get downtown more easily than they could get to other parts of the city. Before the 1960s, the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car, a subway, a railroad, or an elevated train. All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficult. Finding a parking space downtown was something almost impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers.Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll（漫步）from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.21. The first paragraph tells us that in the past ________.A) few people drove cars to do shoppingB) it was convenient to do shopping downtownC) people liked to live in downtown areasD) street-cars were the main vehicle within a city22. Why did some businesses move from downtown to the suburbs?A) They needed more space to build modern large stores.B) People no more liked to do shopping in city centers.C) Shopping downtown was difficult due to heavy traffic.D) Downtown businesses were not as good as before.23. Nowadays people prefer to go shopping in big malls because malls ________.A) are close to their homesB) have much larger walking spaceC) can shelter people from sunshineD) are more pleasant for shoppers24. The passage is mainly about ________.A) changes of people’s shopping habitsB) the need for modern shopping centersC) people’s life in the center of big citiesD) how to run a business in the suburbs25. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) suburban areas are beautiful and pleasant placesB) elevated trains will be built to connect shopping centersC) only city people visit big shopping centersD) suburban people will have more shopping centersPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.When I arrived in Beijing more than five years ago, I had already given blood 79 times.I wanted to continue to be a donor（献血者）. But entering a Red Cross clinic（诊所）in Beijing, I was surprised to be received as a hero. For me, a blood donation was simply a good habit and gift of love to humans.In Canada, donors can give 450 ml each time, every 51 days. That means six times a year. In China, we can give only 200 ml, every four months.In 1984, there were only 19 donors in Beijing who offered their blood for free. One year later, there were 141. In 1986, 1,083, and so on until the figure reached 10,046 in 1990, 14,016 in 1992 and more than double that the following year. There were 41,037 in 1994, and my statistics stop here. I’m so glad to see that the Chinese have understood that giving blood is not dangerous, and that it’s a way to say, in a real co mmunist spirit, “Brother, I love you”.In fact, every time I give blood, I think of my blood running in a man or a woman’s veins（血管）. Through donation thirteen Chinese have become my relatives now. Giving blood is like giving birth. Some of these thirteen people may have died without my donation; doesn’t that make it worth becoming a volunteer（志愿者）? What makes me even happier is when I can convince a Chinese friend to come with me and become a donor too.Things have become easier since May 1, 1996. A Hong Kong donor offered a well-equipped mobile unit to the Red Cross here. The vehicle stands in front of the Xidan Shopping Mallevery Wednesday and Sunday morning, from May to the end of October. Donors just need a few minutes. I hope this public example will encourage new donors, and blood donation will become a social trend among the population.26. When the writer first went to the Red Cross clinic in Beijing to donate his blood he was surprised ____.A) how he was respected by the people thereB) what a good habit blood donation isC) that donors only gave 200 ml each time in ChinaD) that most Chinese people were willing to donate blood27. The number of voluntary blood donors in Beijing in 1993 is ____.A) more than 30,000B) more than 28,000C) more than 15,000D) more than 14,00028. According to the writer, more and more Chinese are giving blood free because _______.A) they know the advantage of blood donationB) they have learned how to donate bloodC) they have realized its great significanceD) they know it’s a way to show their generosity29. The word “that” in Line 3, Para. 4 mostly probably means ____.A) Becoming a volunteerB) donating bloodC) having relativesD) saving people’s life30. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to ____.A) explain blood donation is not harmful to the donor’s healthB) convince readers of the importance of blood donationC) tell us his donation experience in ChinaD) show people how to give blood freePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Don’t Waste Advertising DollarsThe most important aspect of direct mail marketing（直邮营销）isn’t a creative letteror an attracti ve offer. It’s a good mailing list of customers. In fact, advertising professionals say that as much as 60 percent of your success in direct mail depends on getting the right names. But before you can find the perfect list, you need to define your ideal customer based on factors such as:l Geographic locationl Age, sex and income levell Profession or educational levell Hobbiesl Size of a companyIf you’re trying to sell luxury cars（豪华轿车）to rich people, it’s obviously a waste of money to mail an offer to those who earn $30,000 a year. But that’s just what some companies do. This is truly one area where you can be “penny wise and pound foolish.”You can try to search for mailing lists yourself. But it’s generally best to find a broker（经纪人）who can identify the right lists for your company. Then, make sure the names are readily available. A list may be only 12 months old and has many names and addresses on it. But it can no longer be accurate（精确）because people move, close post office boxes, retire, and make other changes.31. The phrase “an attractive offer” (Line 2, Para. 1) in the passage probably means ________.A) valuable productsB) direct mail marketingC) a good mailing listD) something cheap32. What is considered most important in direct mail marketing?A) Writing a friendly letter.B) Getting the right names.C) Giving a low price.D) Having a list of customers.33. What is an ideal customer (Line 4, Para. 1) according to the passage?A) One who will buy your products or service.B) One who will buy a luxury car.C) One who is richer than others.D) One who is not very poor.34. If a man is “penny wise and pound foolish” (Line 3, Para. 2), people think he is ________.A) a person who saves up every bit of moneyB) a person who is only capable of doing small thingsC) a person who is sometimes clever and sometimes foolishD) a person who can deal with different kinds of situations35. It’s very important that you can get in touch with the names on the list, because ________.A) people are always changingB) people move frequentlyC) mailing lists are very expensiveD) mailing lists are seldom accuratePassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The laptop computer（便携式电脑）is popular all over the world because it is small enough for us to put on the upper part of our legs. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These computers connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, they also connect students to their classmates.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will get a laptop. Westlake College has started a large computer program for its students. With laptop computers, the students will be connected not only to the Internet but also to libraries. In addition, they can use e–mail to “speak” with their teacher s, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast–food restaurant or under thetrees---anywhere at all.At Westlake College, more than 90 percent of the students use computers, either desktop （台式）or laptop, but the laptop users can work and study in any of the places. Just as one of the Westlake teachers said, “Here we are in the middle of the city and we’re giving students a window on the world.”36. The laptop computer is becoming more and more popular because it is _________.A) very convenient to use in a lot of placesB) cheap enough for everyone to get oneC) small enough to put into one’s pocketD) easy to take to and from classrooms37.

江西专升本统考英语历年真题及答案
江西专升本统考英语历年真题及答案2001年江西省“专升本”英语统⼀考试试卷（120分钟）Part ⅠListening comprehension （20 points）(略)Part ⅡReading Comprehension （30 points）Directions:In this section there are four passages. Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A),B),C),and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (奎蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal (致命的) misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs (外⾏⼈) heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery (⼿术) and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.21. Adders are most likely to be found _______.A) in wider parts of Britain and IrelandB) in Scotland but nowhere elseC) on wild land through BritainD) in the countryside in England22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should ______.A) try to catch the snakeB) not treat the bite yourselfC) not worry too much about the victimD) operate him as soon as possible23. We are told that adders _______.A) normally friendly towards peopleB) unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC) likely to attack people whenever they see themD) not afraid of human beings24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______.A) move out of your pathB) take no notice of you at allC) disappear very quicklyD) wait until you are close and then attack25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B) The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles, th eir cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don?t have the extra money or who don?t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars. Automobile Company X will gobankrupt (破产); that is, it won?t make enou gh money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will then go out of business. Of course, no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices, the cost of all manufacturers will be equal. So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26. If a company cares about a clean environment while others don?t, it will have to _______.A) change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB) sell its products at a more expensive priceC) buy materials at a higher priceD) pay more money to its workers27. The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that _______.A) manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB) few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC) air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD) people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28. According to the writer, anti-pollution standards ensure that ______.A) no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB) less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC) manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29. The purpose of this passage is _______.A) to describe how a company can go bankruptB) to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC) to stress the importance of the government?s role In preventing pollutio nD) to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30. What can be inferred from thin passage?A) Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B) A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C) The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D) It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages: mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together, these two considerations improve businesses? chance of making profit.Within the single market, the Community (欧共体) is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets, as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission?s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests. At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so. The days when taxes are an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to cre ating a favorable business environment, the community?s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies. The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry, information technology, biotechnology (⽣物技术) and textiles. These measures, at national and community level, will influence the quality of products, the technology used to manufacture them, the training the workforce receives, and the development of new outlets. In short, a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training, research and development and communications networks. The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31. The European Community has found ______.A) a single market to carry out mass productionB) the Community market to produce high quality goodsC) a large market to increase business with other countriesD) a new market to make it easier to get profits32. We can infer from the passage that the community?s general policy ______.A) helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB) encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC) emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD) brings the customer more imported goods33. One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that _______.A) there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB) companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC) there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD) small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34.

Consequently, stress is a common problem that many college students must face. How to reduce stressEliminate the source of stress. Identify possible sources of stress, and work toward eliminating them. If a math course is creating stress, for instance, take action: go to the learning lab or math lab for assistance or inquire about instructions.Establish a daily routine.

Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (说谎者) than men, particularly when tel ling “a white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention (意图)of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also be en done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying, “I wish I were somewhere else now.”26. This passage tells us that telling lies is ___________.A) often necessary in order to avoid being defeatedB) quite bad because people ought to be honestC) sometimes necessary in order not to hurt other’s feelingsD) usually bad if you are talking with a good friend27. The writer says that women are better liars than men because __________.A) their lies are easier to be accepted by menB) men are not as skillful as women in telling liesC) they often have a good intention in telling liesD) women tell fewer lies than men do28.

Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling lies that______.A) will allow them to gain some benefitsB) seem to be strange but interestingC) can make women believe to be trueD) can keep better relations with others30. It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A) there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lyingB) people’s behaviors sometimes can tell us they are lyingC) people often repeat what they are saying when telling a lieD) in some situations women are most likely to tell a liePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Unemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closings and cutbacks--either temporarily(暂时) laid off or permanently forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45, to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for one’s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire i s a huge waste of the nation’s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the age line, a more effective way might emerge. Today, only 3% of school-leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin full-time employment at a later age, more job opportunities will be created.Most importantly, we should not be satisfied merely to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather, we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time-by keeping the skilled adults and accepting the well-educated young.31. Forcing middle-aged persons to retire might cause______.A) the loss of valuable resourcesB) shortage of the work forceC) elderly people to feel upsetD) families to be unstable32. The word “prime” in Line 7 Para 2 may be replaced by “______”A) first B) early C) major D)spring33. Which of the following suggestions did the writer make? ________.A) Young people should work harder in order to go to college.B) Colleges should be open to more high school-leavers.C) The old should be allowed to work as long as they want to.D) Policy makers should create more job opportunities.34. What is the writer’s attitude towards the described employment situation? __A) Concerned B) Hopeless C) Doubted D) Satisfied35. The best title for this passage might be “_______”A) How to Solve Unemployment Problem?B) Should People Be Forced to Retire?C) Why Don’t We Educate the Young?D) Are the Policy Makers Wise?Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.It’s common knowledge that today’s workplace is more volatile(易变的) than it once was. One has to know to make the necessary changes to compete in this new, high-tech world.The Career Coach offers experienced advice and strategies that people are increasingly turning to professional career advisers to get.Written by Gordon Miller, the book is aimed at both job seekers, people reentering the workforce and those farther along their career paths.It gives advice on how to search for a job or change jobs (or industries) successfully in toda y’s job market.
