The money they loan is called capital. Securi ty (担保) is an expensive item which the borrower mortgages (抵押) to the investor to show t hat he intends to _52_ the debt. The way investors make money on loans is to charge interest. Interest is money that _53_ pay to investors for the use of their money. Interest is usually a certain percentage of the capital. Investors sometimes _54 ten percent or more interest per year. The interest may be calculated daily, monthly, or yearly. The interest must be _55 _ before the capital can be repaid. If the interest is not _56_ the agreed rate, the interes t is added _57_ the capital. Then the borrower has _58_ pay interest on the unpaid interest _59_ on the capital.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. Fo r each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answe r and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneStudents enrolled at least half time may borrow up to $3,000 form the government over a two-year period. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the student leaves school. These loans carry on interest until this time. The current interest rate is 5 percent. Students ma y borrow up to $4,500 annually from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association or ot her eligible lender. Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student le aves school. These loans carry no interest until this time. This current interest rate is 9percent. Parents may borrow up to $300 annually for each dependent college. Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan, and the interest rate is 12 percent.61. Which of the following is the main purpose?To remind students and their families to repay their loan.To compare interest rates.To inform students and parents of the various loans available.To show that government loans charge the least interest.62. The highest interest rate is charged to _______.A. full-time studentsB. parentsC. students borrowing from a credit unionD. half-time students63. If parents had three children in college how much could they borrow annually?A. 900B. 3,000C. 300D. 9,00064. According to the passage which of the following is true.The government lends students enrolled at least half time up to 3,000 annually.Students may borrow up to $4,500 annually from four sources.Students enrolled less than half time may borrow money.The current interest rate from banks is 5 percent.65. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.the student’s school determines who is an eligible lendermoney is available for student loansstudents need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneythe interest rate on student loans is increasingPassage TwoAre you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsibl e for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position o f your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; t hey can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered micr oscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person’s b ody is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involunta ry—in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we m ove consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman c an’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.66. According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing functionC. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles67. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they performone improves muscular action consciously68. Muscles are unique fibers because, they can ________.A. contractB. stretchC. retractD. do all of the above69. Under a microscope, muscle cells appear to be _______.A. textured like woodB. colored like woodC. smooth and redD. short and thick70. According to the selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A. voluntary musclesB. involuntary musclesC. muscle fibersD. sensory nervesPassage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the con trol of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into Engl ish of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since th e battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in hist orical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, m any of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during t he sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept the nam es of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into E nglish because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a Fren ch and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the o ther has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native w ord have been still in common use.71. The main idea of this passage is that ______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or latera study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the histo ry of Englandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from t he languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as t he Middle Ages72. All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many Fre nch military terms except that _______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between Engla nd and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in Englandmuch of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73. The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.we no longer use any French words of the Middle Agesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian words French military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by th e newly-borrowed words74. Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ag es?A. sergeantB. battleC. spyD. fight75. The writer takes the words “battle” and “fight” as an example to sh ow______.French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side Fr ench word or the other has been lost from the English language“battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native onePassage Four“Fingers were made before forks” when a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with i t. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanatio n was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describi ng this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.76. The custom of eating with a fork was _______.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks were inventedC. brought to Europe from AsiaD. invented by Italians77. By the fifteenth century forks were used _______.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. widely in EuropeD. In England78.

Comprehension(60 points)Directions：There are five reading passages in this part．Each passage is followed by four questions．For each question there are four suggested answers marked A，B，C and D．Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．Passage OneBefore the conference began，a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the lounge．The Japanese businessman，arms extending downwards from his shoulders，bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced．His eyes were directed ahead，his face showed no particular expression．The American businessman stood straight．His eyes focused on the Japanese man’S eyes．He smiled and put out his right hand．Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment．The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand．The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head．A broader smile of embarrassment．and some noise from each man-not really words，just some sounds from their throats-indicating discomfort．They were in the course of a conflict of customs；they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to．When people are planning to go to another country,they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences．They usually expect the weather and the food to be different．They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life，such as the availability of cars，electricity，and home heating systems.And，without knowing the details，they expect differences in customs．Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations．American men，for example，shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow．36．When introduced to the Japanese businessman，the American businessman put Out his right hand because____．A．he felt a little bit nervousB．he wanted to express his discomfortC．he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD．he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man37．The two businessmen behaved differently because____．A．they followed their own greeting customsB．they were not used to the strange atmosphereC．they couldn’t speak each other’ S languageD．they had never met each other before38．Paragraph 4 tells us that when visiting a foreign country,____.A．it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB．it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC．people often expect tO meet differences in customsD．people expect the same kind of food and weather39．This passage is mainly about____．A．cultural invasion B．the understanding of customsC．business talks D．differences in handshakesPassageTwoMr．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．Mr．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr．Leonard，teach not the school’S academic jewels，but the most struggling students．And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material．40．In Mr．Leonard’S school，most ofthe students who don’t have to pay for lunch____．A．are adopted children B．are parentlessC．are homeless D．have a single parent41．What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’ s success?A．63 percent of its students go on to college.B．A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C．All the graduates from the school go on to college.D．The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School42．What does Mr．Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A．The highest scores．B．The best behaviour.C．Respectfulness and discipline．D．Willingness to learn by themselves.43．The school insists that students should____．A．leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC．do their homework to review what they have learnedD．come to the school on SundaysPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．This outdoor festival，sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This year’ s attendance was estimated at 70，000 on Saturday and 75，000 on Sunday．The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors．There were about 90 talks given by authors，with an audience question-and-answer period foilowing each talk．Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors.A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks．Except for a $7 parking fee，the festival was free．Even so，some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California．One couple drove down from San Francisco．“This is our sixth year here now．We love it，”said the husband．“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be mnong so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too．”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeed．Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one?“The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders．44．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that____．A．city libraries have a very limited number of readersB．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC．city libraries provide fewer places for Car washesD．city libraries have fewer parking places45．The outdoor book festival attracts____．A．autograph seekers and authors onlyB．people with different interestsC．people who love Los AngelesD．people who like cooking46．At the very beginning，people were____ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A．confident B．pessimisticC．uncertain D．indifferent47．The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that____．A．book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB．Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC．people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD．libraries should have food courts to attract more readersPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There’s alwaysa‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who‘knows better’．These‘superiors’often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more“important”th an you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go by the other person’ s label．But，why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．A．they have a poor self-imageB．they have not received AT coursesC．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their“superiors”C．train people’ s capacity to speak up for their rightsD．make things more favorable for“superiors”50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughtsC．tell people of their right to be“superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Protect Yourself B．Try to Speak OutC．Share Your Opinion D．Face Your SuperiorPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and howfastit can climb．52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．A．they are used for large planes B．they can produce a stronger windC．they are built to conduct a high-speed test D．the air in them flows at a lower speed53．The underlined words“this fact”in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．A．it costs a lot to test a planeB．the wings are not good enoughC．some problems are found with a planeD．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise B．how smooth a plane’s surface isC．how a plane lands in a strong wind D．how a plane drops at a low height55．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel．B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels．D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．V．Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A．I miss you，too B．It’ a niceC．Oh，come on D．for the worldE．Sounds as if F．in the worldG．To tell you the truth H．I can’ t waitJohn：Hi，Kim．I haven’t seen you for ages．How are you?Kim：I’m fine．thanks．I moved house recently,so I’ve been very busy．John：56____ you need a rest! Listen，I’m having a Halloween party on Saturday night．Would you like to come?Kim：It's very good of you to ask me．but I’m too busy．I still have a lot to do in the house．John：57 !Everybody needs a break now and then．Kim：Yes，you are right．58____，I’m geeing a bit fed up with it! When does your party start?John：Around 8：00’clock in the evening．Kim：Sounds great! 59____．John：OK! I'll see you on Saturday，then．Kim：I wouldn’t miss it 60____!VI．Writing (25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in about 100-120 words based on the following situation．Remember to write it clearly．61．你(Li Yuan)是某大学志愿者小组的组织者，请简要介绍该小组的情况，内容包括：(1)志愿者小组成立的时间、小组规模、小组成员的构成：(2)小组的主要活动(如：关心贫困学生和孤儿、帮助需要照顾的老人和家庭等)；(3)开展志愿者小组活动的意义，欢迎更多人加入。

2009年4月成人本科学士学位英语统一考试试题及答案解析

2009年4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试试题及答案(A)Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)第一篇文章主要是讲关于十几岁年轻人的一些问题。

Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by som e questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marke d A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding le tter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stan d on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking ou t boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of th eir cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.(76) It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. Thi s is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to liste n to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.1. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.【答案】B第1题目问的是作者写这篇文章的目的是干什么的。

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageTo understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand “the point”. Americans mention it often: “Let’s get right to the point,” they will say. “My point is …”“What is the point of all this?”The “point” is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’ thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear”, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend , “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit,” a Japanese might say , “Maybe this other coat would look eve n better than the one you have on .”Americans value a person who “gets right to the point.” Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness(模糊) and ambiguity(歧义).The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point” cannot be achieved ,and lest not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.36. According to the passage, American expect speakers and writers to ______A. be clear about their man ideasB. give as much information as possibleC. express their personal viewsD. be honest about their true feelings37. Which of the following people will tell a story to express what they have in mind?A. AmericansB. AfricansC. JapaneseD. Chinese38. In the sentence “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit”, the word “outfit” most probably means_____.A. officeB. timeC. speechD. clothes39. According to the passage, the Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.A. indirectB. straightforwardC. poorly-dressedD. curious40. In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to____A. lean the language wellB. change their way of thinkingC. be careful about their choice of wordsD. explain their reasons clearlyPassage 2Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMany young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is lonely, private and poor-paying. for every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Army to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had expectation at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a true writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell story that I barely made enough to eat .But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the test---even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The passage means to ______A. warn young people of the hardships that a writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career42. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chance for a writer to become successful are small.43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He wasn’t able to have a rest fo r a whole year.C. He found his dream would never come true.D. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.44. When the author began writing, he only had_____.A. a second-hand typewriter.B. a friend who helped him find a room to liveC. a cold room without a bathroomD. empty expectations of his future45. “shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to_____.A. the piece of land one often dreams aboutB. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedC. the bright future that one is looking forward toD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 3Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMy friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. “That young woman who just waited onme ,”he said ,pointing to an employee of the fas t food restaurant where we eating , “had to call someone over to help her count out the change .the cash register(出纳机) showed her I need 99 nets ,but she couldn’t figure out how to count out the coins .”I understood Mike’s concern .What we have done in thi s country ,although unintentionally ,is to create several generations of individuals most of most of whom have no idea how to reason, how to do simple math ,how to do research ,or finally how to be creative .The reason for this is our overuse of information technology :video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computer. information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time for us to take a hand look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can’t tell time if the clock has hands .they can use calculators but cannot add, subtract, divide or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active imaginative play .Although most of them are technically literate ,they choose not to read .They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book .It is not enough to recognize the problem. What we need is solution .the one I offer is simple to suggest , but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children .If wedon’t, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity .Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let’s to perform computer operations, but to figure and to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how process leads to results, they must also stretch their imagination.46. What seems to be the problem of the employee of the fast food restaurant?A. She does not know how to count coins.B. She is unable to solve simple math problem.C. She has no small change for the customers.D. She does not know how to operate cash registers47. What is the author’s and his friend Mike’s concern?A. The educational system is now creating people who can’t think for themselves.B. People now rarely do things on their own.C. Computers feed us too much information nowadays.D. The restaurant does not provide good service.48. For children to have imaginative minds, they must_____.A. be born with talentsB. be taught to read the right booksC .be dragged away from machinesD. have a large vocabulary49. What is the most probable meaning of “unplug o ur children” in the last paragraph?A. Give them freedom of enjoying themselves.B. Teach themC. Get them off TV and computer games.D. Turn off all the power in the schools.50. The conclusion of the article is that the authorbelieves_____A. electronics should have no place in classroomsB. information technology helps us to do things we do not understandC. all books benefit children more than anything elseD. information technology is new being overusedPassage4Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地)，as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a c hair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释)，too. Anther example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority; itcan be something else entirely. The researches look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.51. The main idea of this article is that________A. study of communication through body movement is a new scienceB. body movements are as important as words in communicationC. all of us communicate with one anotherD. eye behavior is the most important part in body language52. What do researchers think of body language?A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication.C.

2009年11月成人本科学位英语全真试卷

[真题] 2009年11月成人本科学位英语全真试卷Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three 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 1According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979．They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979．It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday, At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker’s activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.__76)Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters (猎头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job．For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the Same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job．The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend mote time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is not always positive. (77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone’s productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductivetime at the office once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the Solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.第1题：What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work 80 hours a week and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.参考答案：A 您的答案：答案解析：本题考查考生对文章大意的把握。

And，without knowing the details，they expect differences in customs．Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations．American men，for example，shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow．36．When introduced to the Japanese businessman，the American businessman put Out his right hand because____．A．he felt a little bit nervousB．he wanted to express his discomfortC．he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD．he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man37．The two businessmen behaved differently because____．A．they followed their own greeting customsB．they were not used to the strange atmosphereC．they couldn’t speak each other’ S languageD．they had never met each other before38．Paragraph 4 tells us that when visiting a foreign country,____.A．it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB．it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC．people often expect to meet differences in customsD．people expect the same kind of food and weather39．This passage is mainly about____．A．cultural invasion B．the understanding of customsC．business talks D．differences in handshakesPassage TwoMr.．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．Mr.．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr.．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a f emale，”said Mr.．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.．Leonard，teach not the school’s academic jewels，but the most struggling students．And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student isactually grasping the material．40．In Mr.．Leonard’s school，most other students who don’t have to pay for lunch____．A．are adopted children B．are parentlessC．are homeless D．have a single parent41．What can be a good indication of the Bedford S chool’ s success?A．63 percent of its students go on to college.B．A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C．All the graduates from the school go on to college.D．The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School42．What does Mr.．Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A．The highest scores．B．The best behavior.C．Respectfulness and discipline．D．Willingness to learn by themselves.43．The school insists that students should____．A．leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC．do their homework to review what they have learnedD．come to the school on SundaysPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．This outdoor festival，sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This year’ s attendance was estimated at 70，000 on Saturday and 75，000 on Sunday．The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors．There were about 90 talks given by authors，with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk．Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks．Except for a $7 parking fee，the festival was free．Even so，some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their ownsandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California．One couple drove down from San Francisco．“This is our sixth year here now．We love it，”said the husband．“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be among so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too．”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeed．Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one? “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders．44．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that____．A．city libraries have a very limited number of readersB．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC．city libraries provide fewer places for Car washesD．city libraries have fewer parking places45．The outdoor book festival attracts____．A．autograph seekers and authors onlyB．people with different interestsC．people who love Los AngelesD．people who like cooking46．At the very beginning，people were____ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A．confident B．pessimisticC．uncertain D．indifferent47．The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that____．A．book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB．Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC．people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD．libraries should have food courts to attract more readersPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of StandUp, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss- who ‘knows better’．These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer “assertiveness training” courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more “important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go b y the other person’ s label．But，why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．A．they have a poor self-imageB．they have not received AT coursesC．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their “superiors”C．train people’ s capacity to speak up for their rightsD．make things more favorable for “superiors”50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughtsC．tell people of their right to be “superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Protect Yourself B．Try to Speak OutC．Share Your Opinion D．Face Your SuperiorPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and how fast can climb．52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．A．they are used for large planes B．they can produce a stronger windC．they are built to conduct a high-speed test D．the air in them flows at a lower speed 53．The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．A．it costs a lot to test a planeB．the wings are not good enoughC．some problems are found with a planeD．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise B．how smooth a plane’s surface isC．how a plane lands in a strong wind D．how a plane drops at a low height55．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel．B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels．D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．V．Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A．I miss you，too B．It’ a niceC．Oh，come on D．for the worldE．Sounds as if F．in the worldG．To tell you the truth H．I can’ t waitJohn：Hi，Kim．I haven’t seen you for ages．How are you?Kim：I’m fine．thanks．I moved house recently, so I’ve been very busy．John：56____ you need a rest!

2009年英语模拟试卷2

普通高校2009年“专转本”统一考试英语模拟试卷第一卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension（共20小题，每小题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.T hen mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage.It has been found that less than one shopper in five makes a complete shopping list before going to the store.The reason for this is that seven out of ten of today’s purchases are decided in the store,where the shoppers tend toward impulse buying.for the past forty years,and this rise has coincided with the growth of self-service shopping. However,in grocery stores where clerks wait on customers there is much less impulse buying.It is hard for people to buy on impulse if they have to address a clerk.Psychologists have joined forces with merchandising experts.It is their job to persuade people to buy products which they may not need or even want until they see them attractively presented.It was discovered by the psychologists that shoppers want help in their purchases. Having so many choices confuses them,and they prefer the package that attracts them.Therefore, it is now more usual for food packers to pay attention to their package design.Attraction depends heavily on the position of the product on the shelf,however.Thus,persuading the shopper to buy is easier if the product is located at eye-level.1.According to the information in the first paragraph,those who make a complete list before shopping account for__________.A.nearly fifty percentB.less than twenty percentC.only ten percentD.less than five percent2.The reason for the above mentioned phenomenon is that___________.A.people have difficulty making up their mind before going shoppingB.people don’t know what is available in the storeC.people tend to decide on buying products when they see themD.people are easily deceived by the attractive products3.In grocery stores where customers are served there is less impulse shopping probably because_________.A.the clerks ignore the customersB.the clerks are too eager to serve the customersC.the stores have to send the shopper’s purchases to his homeD.customers hesitate to ask for help if they haven’t decided what to buy4.Shoppers tend to buy the products put on__________.A.the top shelfB.the bottom shelfC.the shelf which people can see easilyD.the shelf where there is less confusion5.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A.Psychologists and Merchandising ExpertsB.Impulse BuyingC.The More Products the More ConfusionD.Self-service ShoppingPassage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage.Today television is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the home.Television,however,is actually a kind of radio.It uses special equipment for sending and receiving the picture.The television sound system uses the same type of equipment that is used in other forms of radio.Exchanging messages with ships at sea was one of the first uses of radio.Modern radio is still used for this purpose and for communication across oceans.On land too radio provides a means of instant communication even with moving vehicles such as taxicabs or service trunks.Police forces use two-way radio to get information to and from officers in squad cars and on motorcycles.Small portable sets make it possible to communicate with a central exchange while walking or riding in a city or over countryside.Observers in airplanes can report traffic accidents, and traffic jams by radio to police officers on the ground.Radiotelephones are used in many places.Connection with the regular telephone service canbe provided for boats,trains,and cars.Isolated places in deserts,forests,and mountainous regions are linked by radiotelephone in many parts of the world.Thus by means of radio people can communicate with others wherever service is provided.6.According to the passage,television______________.A.has taken the place of radioB.is no longer popular in the homeC.can be regarded as a kind of radioD.has nothing in common with radio7.In paragraph two,“this purpose”refers to_____________.A.exchanging messages with ships at seamunication across oceansC.sending and receiving the pictureD.instant communication with moving vehicles8.Modern radio is used in the following ways EXCEPT_____________.A.at seaB.on landC.in the airD.underground9.The word“isolated”in the last paragraph means________________.A.sandy and mountainousB.clean and not pollutedC.without any living thingsD.separated or distant10.The best title for the passage is_______________.A.Television and RadioB.Radio and Its UsesC.Radio and RadiotelephonesD.Modern CommunicationPassage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage.You may be interested in the present situation of Black American today.It is true that their condition have changed for the better since the mid-1970’s.With better employment,the percentages of Blacks doing skilled labor rose after the1970’s by about76%.Many blacks entered the middle class and moved out of the slums.Many have been elected to governmental positions.Whatever they might be,however,they must share with other Blacks the bond of being black. Frustrated by white xenophobia(恐惧生人)or superiority,all Blacks suffer from various forms of racism.Nobody can ignore the fact that over a third of all Black Americans are still living belowpoverty level.Statistics tell us that half of all Black children grow up in poverty and almost2 billion Blacks are jobless,that is,over12%of the Black work force is unemployed.The rate is2.5 times for Whites.In comparison with Whites,Black families earn so much less than is needed for a decent but modest living ually a Black family’s income is only58%that of a white one.While seeing the rise of a few Blacks,we must notice at the same time that far too many Blacks are living in hopelessness and despair form which they have little hope to escape.Who can guarantee that the unemployed will accept their lot quietly,or that the despairing will contain their anger forever?Americans are far from achieving the goal of a color-blind society. Black problems are still a national issue to be solved.11.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Their lives have totally changed since the mid-1970’s.B.Blacks can enjoy the same education condition with Whites.C.The majority of the Blacks are leading comfortable lives.D.More Blacks than Whites are unemployed in American society.12.According to the passage,the rate of unemployment of American Whites is_________.A.More than5%B.less than5%C.more than12%D.less than12%13.It can be inferred from the passage that__________.A.the American Blacks will fight for their equalityB.many Blacks are satisfied with their present livesC.American Blacks have broke away from racismD.nobody cares about Blacks14.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Blacks’fight for equalityB.Black problem in AmericaC.The unemployment problem of American BlacksD.The changes of Black’s lives in America15.The phrase“color-blind society”in paragraph3probably means_____________.A.the society that dislikes colorB.the society with a lot of color-blind sufferersC.the society that pays no special attention to colors of people’s skinD.the society is too blind to differ the colorsPassage Four（非英语类学生必做，16~20小题）Questions16to20are based on the following passage.Psychology and Sociology are both categorized as social sciences,and both study human behavior.However,psychology is the study of individual behavior,whereas sociology is the study of group behavior.interaction with other individuals,but the main concern of sociology is the ways that different societies with different cultures deal with each other.Sociology asks and tries to answer questions like these:why does one society progress rapidly and another one remains primitive for centuries?What is the main reason for revolution in a society? What is the role of religion or act in a society?Psychology asks and tries to answer questions like these:why does an individual adapt easily to a changing environment and another individual become mentally disturbed?What are the causes of antisocial behavior?What role does religion or art play in an individual’s mental and emotional life?Psychology and sociology often work together in their study of human behavior.It is assumed that that by better understanding individual motivation and behavior,more will be learned about group motivation and behavior.The reverse is also assumed:if scientists can learn more about social groups,they will learn more about individuals.16.What might be an appropriate title for this passage?A.Psychology and SociologyB.Individual and GroupC.Human Behavior StudyD.Main Concerns of Social Sciences17.Which of the following questions is the concern of psychology?A.What is the role of religion or act in a society?B.What is the main reason for revolution in a society?C.What are the causes of antisocial behavior?D.Why does one society progress more rapidly than another?18.According to the author,____________.A.psychology and sociology benefit from each other’s researchB.too much emphasis on psychology may cause social problemsC.the study of group behavior is the interest of psychologistsD.different societies with different cultures cannot get along well19.A word which can take the place of“reverse”in the last sentence is___________.A.consequenceB.resultC.oppositeD.implication20.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Both psychology and sociology study human behavior.B.Mental problems should be dealt with by a sociologist.C.Sociology is the study of group behavior.D.A psychologist pays more attention to individuals than to groups.（英语类学生必做，16~20小题）Questions16to20are based on the following passage.In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied.But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity?There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers’life more enjoyable,it does not actually make him harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned,then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true.The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important,there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making.In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product.Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one,so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line.It would seem that not only is degree of workers’contribution an important factor,therefore,but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to great productivity?The workers themselves certainly think this important.But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring.Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A similar argument may explaindemands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money,nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.16.All of following factors leading to greater productivity are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_______________.A.making jobs more variedB.giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own wayC.degree of workers’contributionD.demands for longer working hours17.Workers want more money because_______________.A.their jobs are too boringB.they want to enjoy more spare timeC.they want to make their jobs more interestingD.they want to shorten working hours18.According to the passage,if we succeed in making workers’jobs more interesting,_________.A.they will want more moneyB.they will demand more freedom in workC.more money and shorter working hours are important factorsD.more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them19.In this passage,what does the author tell us?A.How to make jobs more varied.B.How to make workers more productive.C.To what extent more money leads to greater productivityD.How to make workers’jobs more interesting20.The author of this passage is probably a_____________.A.teacherB.workerC.managerD.journalistPart II Vocabulary and Structure（共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions:In this

It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon， and he wanted me to watch and lean.

I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician.

We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more water than land. The sea covers three quarters of the world.The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But in some places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were out into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place!If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty. You can taste the salt. Rivers, whichflow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmers can not sink! Fish can not live in the Dead Sea!In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating them.The sea can be very cold. Divers, who go deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him. Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal. But he can not go very deep. Some peoeple who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship! They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it. They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!16. When does the sea look beautiful?A) when it is calm. B) when the weather is fine.C) when there is a strong wind. D) when there is a storm.17. How much of the earth’s surface does land cover?A) 15% B) 25% C) 30% D) 45%18. Why does the author cite the sea somewhere near Japan?A) To show that the sea in some places is very deep.B) To show that the sea in some places is very shallow.C) To show that its depth is 9 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.D) To show that its depth is 11 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.19. Which of the following statements about the Dead Sea is NOT true?A) There are plenty of fishes in it. B) It is a safe place for swimmers.C) It is extremely salty. D) No fish can be found in it.20. Why can’t people go very deep in the sea?A) Because the deepest part of the sea is very cold.B) Because the deepest part of the sea is very rough.C) Because the pressure of water at great depth is unendurable.D) Because the deepest part of the sea is very salty.Part II.
