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. Body language has been discovered in recent years.D. Body language is the study of communication via body movement.53. The word“intimate” in paragraph two probably means______.A. greatB. closeC. goodD. important54. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable if you_____.A. meet his eyesB. avoid meeting his eyesC. stare into his eyes for one secondD. look into his eyes for a long time55. The sentence “the researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture” means______.A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC. the researchers think that one gesture cannot be used in different situationsD. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gestureV.

2009年专转本英语试卷
江苏省2009年普通高校专转本统一考试英语试卷(非英语专业)第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. you should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul.The business of continuing the family lineage (血统)and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times.1. The word “matchmaking”in the passage means ______.A. a very formal ritual(仪式)attended by boys and girlsB. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD. arranging games between men and women2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that ______.A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB. men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC. they are busy with communicating with different peopleD. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?A. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting.5. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB. the importance of a business contractC. the work of professional matchmakersD. the first meeting between men and womenPassage twoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.In the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.Then there was Tom who was always regarded as “average”. However, he set his goals high, then found a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.Researchers have found that school performance is little related to job performance. Qualities like “steady and dependable”and “practical and organized”are more important.“You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you can do.”Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy.6. A fast-tracker in this passage refers to a person who ______A. feels happy with everythingB. makes others disappointed andunhappyC. is an excellent studentD. learns new things quickly7. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a fast-tracker?A. He is very talented in his work.B. He is not likely to get rich.C. He may not stick to his work.D. He is dependable and practical.8. The word “materialize”in the last paragraph means “______”.A. matterB. appearC. matchD. attract9. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. one has no pleasure until he succeedsB. glue can help one focus on one’s work.C. success has nothing to do with special talentD. success is closely related to patience and steadiness10. A proper title for the passage can be ______.A. The magic of GlueB. The Way to SuccessC. Why T alented People Often Succeed QuicklyD. How average Achievers Do Better than OthersPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from theseemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.11. The main idea in the first paragraph is ______.A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good booksB. a good book may distract our attentionC. people can read good books in different waysD. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good books12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is ______.A. they are like human friends exactlyB. they never bore us in comparison with our human friendsC. they never hurt our feelingsD. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because ______.A. the reading environment is very goodB. the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC. we are alone and no one interrupts usD. we are asked to return the book the second day14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.15. “The whole world is ours for the asking”implies that ______A. the world is more accessible in books than in realityB. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walkC. the world belongs to us whenever we askD. round-world trips can be made by everyonePassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Increasingly over the past ten years, people --- especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour andvegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.16. People have become more interested in natural foods because ______.A. they like changing their diet from time to timeB. they want to eat food that is more deliciousC. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthyD. they want to be fashionable17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ______.A. has nothing nutritious added to itB. is essential for producing fruit and vegetablesC. contains unused vegetable matterD. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it18. According to the author, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ______.A. will not necessarily increase the production of foodsB. is a good way to improve the quality of foodsC. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantityD. is no good for health19. Chickens can be called “natural foods”only when ______.A. they are deliciousB. they are fed on food little better than rubbishC. they lay eggs rich in vitamins every dayD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely20. Which of the following is considered good for healthy eating?A. Unrefined flour and vegetables.B. White bread and honey.C. Canned beans and fruits.D. Mass-produced chickens and eggsPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分) Directions:In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by four choices.

The older he grew,the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happenif he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poeti cally (得体地). He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn.A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …” “Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________. (分数:2.00)A.he had too much wealthB.there was terrible famineC.all stories have ends √D.there was no story-teller解析:42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.(分数:2.00)A.a great sumB.the prince’s beautiful daughter√C.showing his braveryD.Both A and C解析:43.The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end. (分数:2.00)A.forever √B.for some timeC.for a whileD.for a year解析:44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.(分数:2.00)A.a huge storehouseB.a large farm √C.a beautiful palaceD.a waterproof kitchen解析:45.The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.(分数:2.00)A.a loafB.a small hole √C.a grain of cornD.a locust解析:46.Passage Two Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comesin a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, orsmall gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage? (分数:2.00)A.Children are interested in some packages of products.B.Package is one of the important ways of advertising. √C.People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D.The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.解析:47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________. (分数:2.00)A.a buyer will get something free of charge √B.a buyer will get something uselessC.a buyer will get something usefulD.nothing is worth buying解析:48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B.Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C.A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. √D.“Economy Size”doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money解析:49.What does the word “ them ” ( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.(分数:2.00)A.Small giftsB.PicturesC.GamesD.Products √解析:50.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?(分数:2.00)A.Package is just an advertisement.B.Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.√C.The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D.Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.解析:51.Passage Three For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have bec ome part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known pro verbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.English people_________. (分数:2.00)A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB.never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC.are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist√D.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist解析:52.Every Englishman knows_________.(分数:2.00)A.more or less about Shakespeare √B.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all the Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of greatest English writer解析:53.Which of the following is TRUE?(分数:2.00)A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use. √D.All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.解析:54. “HAMLET” is _________.(分数:2.00)A.a play written by Shakespeare √B.a play recommended by ShakespeareC.a play appreciated by ShakespeareD.a play people have been complaining about解析:55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________. (分数:2.00)A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB.by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language √C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD.English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days解析:56.Passage Four Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.The main idea of this passage is _________. (分数:2.00)A.shopping and tippingB.sales and shoppingC.sales taxes and tipping √D.sales taxes and people解析:57.According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.(分数:2.00)A.$4.5B.$4 √C.$5D.$5.5解析:58. Usually, cab drivers _________.(分数:2.00)A.get high wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employer √D.get prize from the employer解析:59.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(分数:2.00)A.The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. √B.The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.解析:ually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.(分数:2.00)A.have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B.are over 15% in the U. S.C.have been put an end in the U. S.D.vary from place to place in the U. S. √解析:三、Part Ⅲ Cloze (20 po ints) (总题数:1,分数:20.00)Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they don't usually 61 people they know. 62 , many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice 63 many different subjects, including family problem, sex, the use 64 the language, health, cooking, childcare, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car. 65 newspapers regularly print letters 66 readers with problems. Along 67 the letters there are answers written 68 people who are supposed to know how to 69 such problems. Some of these writers are doctors;70 are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice 71 women without special training 72 this kind of work. One of them answers letters 73 to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed 74 “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for 75 advice. There is one writer who has not lived long 76 to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Cavaliere, who started writing 77 for newspaper readers 78 the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now79 regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column 80 DEAR ANGEL.

Each of the three passages 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. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Television has now come to nearly every family. It has played a very important part in people's life. School children in the US watch TV about 25 hours a week.Some people feel that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programs of education, children do better in school. Other people feel that there are too many programs about love and crime on TV, and that even programs of education don't help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television, so they don't do a lot of other important things for their education. Children of three to six learn to speak their language and talk with people. When they are watching TV, they are only listening to the language, and they aren't talking with anyone. When school children watch TV, they read less. Because of this, they don't learn to read or write quickly at school.All children learn by doing, and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less. They also have less time to communicate with their parents and friends, and they have less time for sports.Recently, fifteen families in Denver decided to stop watching TV for a month or more. At first it was difficult, but there were soon a lot of good changes. The children read, played, and exercised more, and the family became full of joy. But at the end of the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.46. Some people think that television is good for children because _______.A. some programs help them love their parentsB. the news programs are important to themC. it makes them play less than before福建专升本联盟D. they can learn something good from it47. Some people think that television is bad for children because _______.A. there are too many TV programs not good for childrenB. its language is difficult to understandC. it is helpful to their thinking and doingD. their eyes work much every day48. Because they watch too much TV, school children _______.A. write more quickly than beforeB. don't learn to read or write quickly at schoolC. play a lotD. read and write much more49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. People can not live without television.B. Only through television can children learn about the world .C. When children are watching television, they talk with each other.D. When children watch TV, they read and play less.50. What is the writer’s attitude towards television?A. objectiveB. suspiciousC. compromisingD. appreciative Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:This book on open education has two parts. The first part has to do with how the teacher feels about students. The second part has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom.In traditional education, the teacher may feel that students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teacher feels that he must tell the students what to do most of the time, and that he must make the students study specific things. In open education, the teacher's feelings are very different. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. He expects his students to be responsible for the things they do, just as adults are. A student's ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher's. The teacher allows his students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study specific subjects or things. The teacher lets福建专升本联盟them decide what to study and how much to study. It's very important for the teacher to show how he feels about the students.The second part of the idea of open education has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They may study, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want. There are no specific things for the students to do. There are no traditional rules made by the teacher. The only rules in an open classroom are rules for everyone' s safety. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom, instead of being made to study them. Open education is a really complex idea.51. What is this passage mainly about?A. The system of traditional education.B. The characteristics of open education.C. A comparison of two kinds of education.D. An emphasis on open education.52. According to the passage students in open education _______.A. have more freedomB. are restricted by regulationsC. study harderD. have better results in what they study53. What the author discusses in this passage concerns _______.A. the teaching procedureB. the students' activitiesC. what the teacher does in the classroomD. the attitude the teacher holds towards students and his classroom activities54. When a school has "A Child Is Most Important" as its slogan(口号), this schoolmost probably adopts the idea of _______.A. traditional educationB. open educationC. adult educationD. open university55. The author regards open education as _______.A. more reliableB. complexC. modernD. unusual福建专升本联盟Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:When 23-year-old Eric graduated from college last year, he didn’t have a job. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did what many young Americans are doing: he signed up with a temp (临时的) agency, which places workers on short-term jobs. Temporary workers such as Eric comprise 20 percent of the US workforce. In 1985, 417,000 workers were classified as temporary help. In 2005, there was more than 2.5 million, according to Labor Department data.Using temporary workers allows companies to increase or decrease the number of staff as their workloads change. It also allows companies to avoid the costs involved in hiring and firing long-term employees.Many temp agency owners and career specialists say temping is a good way for recent graduates to get experience. “Short-term jobs let graduates try out different companies t o find the best fit,” said Pegi Wheatley, owner of a San Francisco temp agency.But things don’t always work out that way. “When I started temping, I had this idea that a temporary job could turn full-time. It worked for a friend of mine, but that didn’t happen for me,” said Eric, who quickly became bored with his office work. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US $ 10 an hour doing office work. Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a café, pay about US $ 7.But there are drawbacks for the higher pay. Because in the US, health insurance is provided through employer, most temps are not entitled to workplace health benefits. Eric ran the risk that an accident or illness would land him in the hospital with no way to pay the bill. Other drawbacks, though less serious, still mean that temping for most graduates is exactly what its name implies ----a temporary choice. Instability, gaps between contracts, lack of vacation time and isolation from other employees are drawbacks, too.56. Eric took a short-term job mainly because _______.A. he didn’t want to give up his apartmentB. he liked to try out different companiesC. he wanted to get more experience福建专升本联盟D. a short-term job is easier to do57. According to the passage, in the year of 2005, more than _______ workerswere classified as temporary help.A. 2.5 millionB. 12.5 millionC. 4.17 millionD. 25 million58. Which is NOT mentioned as an advantage of temping?A. It gives recent graduates experience.B. It enables employers to adjust their workforce.C. A temporary job will turn full-time.D. Employers can reduce their costs.59. Eric stayed with the temp agency for some time because _______.A. he liked his office workB. he was satisfied with the payC. his employer provided health insuranceD. he hated gaps between contracts60. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. BenefitsB. CompromisesC. RisksD. DisadvantagesSection B Short Answer Questions (15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10 words.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it; the price is a second consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. And if all goes well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with no chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.福建专升本联盟Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always based on needs. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look a round.” She will try on any number of things. The most important in her mind is the idea of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always in the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one shelf to another, to and fro, often slowing down her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiring process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.61. Why does a man go shopping?62. What is a man’s second consideration when he buys something?63. How quickly can the deal be completed for a man?64. What is the most important idea for a woman when she buys something?65. What do most dress shops provide for the waiting husbands?IV. Translation (20 points, 4 for each)Directions: In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese. Each item consists of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.66. The children read, played, and exercised more, and the family became full of joy.But at the end of the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before.67. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. Heexpects his students to be responsible for the things they do, just as adults are. 68. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They maystudy, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want.69. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did whatmany young Americans are doing: he signed up with a temp agency, which places workers on short-term jobs.70. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US $ 10 an hour doing福建专升本联盟office work. Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a café, pay about US $ 7.V.

Reading Comprehension ( 50 points )Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneBurn rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But I found none of my acquaintances might be able to help.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven."I have confidence in your plan," she said. "Y ou're going to work hard for it, but it's satisfying when you build your own company."Who would have thought I would find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.36.For a newly-established business, burn rate refers to .A. the way in which it raises capitalB. the speed at which it spends moneyC. the interest it pays to the bankD. the salary it pays to its staff.37.The phrase "Angel money" in Paragraph 1 means .A. the money spent to promote salesB. the money raised from close friendsC. the money needed to start a businessD. the money borrowed from banks38.To help from a venture-capital company, you may have to .A. change your business lineB. put up with unfair termsC. let them operate your businessD. enlarge your business scope39.The author easily built a team for his company because .A. they were turned down by other companiesB. they were underpaid at their previous jobsC. they were satisfied with the salary in his companyD. they were confident of the author and his business40.Louise decided to lend money to the author because .A. she knew his plan would successB. she knew he would build a teamC. she wanted to control his companyD. she wanted to help promote his salesPassage T woBirds that are literally half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere alert and the other sleeping —control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere's eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.Decades of studies of birds flocks led researchers to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable, end-of-row sleepers. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds dozing at the end of the line resorted to single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent for birds in internal spots."We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously in different regions of the brain," the researchers say.The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing supposition thatsingle-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, they predict. They've seen it in a pair of birds dozing side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.Useful as half-sleeping might be, it's only been found in birds and such water mammals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brains awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning (淹死).Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds' half-brain sleep is "just the tip of the iceberg". He speculates (推测) that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.41.A new study on birds' sleep has revealed that .A. birds can control their half-brain sleep consciouslyB. birds seldom sleep with the whole of their brain at restC. half-brain sleep is characterized by slow brain wavesD. half-brain sleep is found in a wide variety of birds42.According to the passage, birds often half sleep because .A. their brain hemispheres take turns to restB. they have to watch out for possible attacksC. they have to constantly keep an eye on their companionsD. the two halves of their brain are differently structured43.The example of a bird sleeping in front of a mirror indicates that .A. birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of securityB. the phenomenon of birds dozing in pairs is widespreadC. a single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirrorD. even an imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security44.While sleeping, some water mammals keep half awake probably because they .A. try to avoid being swept away by rapid currentsB. need to be alert to the approaching enemyC. need to emerge from water now and then to breatheD. have to be sensitive to the ever-changing environment45.By "just the tip of the iceberg" in Paragraph 8, Siegel suggests that .A. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersB. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherC. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solvedD. half-brain sleep could exist among other speciesPassage ThreeTo understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on persuasive salesmanship to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的)or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction--the firm and the customer—and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non—acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled !46.Before the marketing concept was accepted, the main concern of industrialists was______. A.the satisfaction of the userB.the preferences of the dealerC.the needs of the marketD.the efficiency of production47.In Paragraph1."to move as much of these goods as possible" means______.A.to transport goods as efficiently as possibleB.to dispose of these goods in large quantitiesC.to sell the largest possible amount of goodsD.to redesign these goods for large—scale production48.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, ______ .A.the customer-centered approachB.a form of persuasive salesmanshipC.making goods available for purchaseD.the practice of turning good s into money49.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?A.Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.B.Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.C.Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.D.It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the Public.50.In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on______A.its social impact B.its theoretical basisC.its main characteristic D.its possible consequencePassage FourA computer virus has already done a lot of damage, but its potential is even more terrifying. Beginning late Wednesday, computers in dozens of universities and on many military bases began running faster and faster, compiling huge quantities of useless data.Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore laboratory suspected a virus and shut their system down. At the University of California at Berkeley, academic research files also began to fill with worthless data and at Stanford Research Institute, several computers based projects are now in danger of being attacked. One project that will now likely have to be scrapped is a multimillion dollar program being developed to test Defense Department software.All of the researchers say they will be shutting down and isolating their computers from outside sources. They explain that the virus probably entered the computers by means of a network of telephone lines by which thousands of scientists all over the world share information. The virus is a program disguised as a message. Once in the computer, It takes over and gives the computer new instructions. It is believed the virus was entered into the computer network some lime ago and was programmed to trigger late Wednesday.At a research center in Mountain View, California, the virus was noticed late Wednesday night when it began to overtake the CPU, or central processing unit, 0f the main system. The virus then occupied the computer’s central brains, preventing them from doing the tasks they should have been doing.The Pentagon says some of its information systems have also shown evidence of tampering, but the virus did not reach any classified or weapon system files. It now appears the FBI will launch an investigation to try to determine who or what has caused this information invasion.51.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1 ?A.The virus is likely to do further damage to the computers.B.Better and faster computers will be developed soon.C.All computer viruses can be wiped out in the near future.D.The detected virus has damaged all the data in the key institutions.52.The virus was not detected before it did damage to the computers because it______. A.hid itself in a diskB.appeared in the form of a messageC.overtook the central processing unitsD.compiled huge quantities of useless data53.According to Paragraph 3, the researchers disconnected their computers because they______A.did not want to waste electricityB.did not want their computers to work all the timeC.did not want other people to share their informationD.did not want the virus to enter their computers54.The word ”tampering” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A.savingB.copyingC.making unauthorized changesD.marking the symbols that constitute a document55.The computer virus mentioned in the passage begins to do damage______.A.on Wednesday morningB.at a preprogrammed timeC.long after it entered the computerD.as soon as it enters the computer机密★启用前2009年天津市高等院校“高职升本科”招生统一考试英语 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共55分)注意事项:1.答第Ⅱ卷前,考生须将密封线内的项目填写清楚。

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!

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWEAR SHEET.Passage OneEver since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heard everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters.I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care专业英语试卷第 3 页(共10页)for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them.I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathycongratulationsC.D. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their children’s futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.专业英语试卷第4页(共10页)Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financialinstitutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyoneclever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Evenworse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to getaway without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what thecomputer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not onlyunpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to notehow many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematicinspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught mayhave been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail,computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not becharged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All toooften, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of acriminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs tocontinue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.专业英语试卷第 5 页(共10页)D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about ______.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their formeremployersD. why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not thinkabout: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surroundinghis physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumpsonto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone”depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americansstand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”,people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch eachother often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while inconversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. ToAmericans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by adeadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate theirattentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely andmaintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite orthreatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t lookyou in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that hedoesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still considerstaring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51.

By comparison, an earthquake of similarintensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths wererelatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, whentraffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codesin Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to theirdrawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The newdesigns should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In thepast, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation,and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact ofground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete andsteel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to anearthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computerwould force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could bevery expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to bedamaged during earthquakes.56. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively lowis that______.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A. counter-balance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.专业英语试卷第 7 页(共10页)A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakesattention should be focused on ______.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes60. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingPart III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air aroundEarth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.51.The best title for this passage may be ________A.The Importance of ElectricityB.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil FuelsC.The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD.Means of Making Electrical Power52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passageA.Wind power B.Fossil fuelsC.Solar power D.Water power53.We can infer from the passage that _________A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely usedB.wind power is a widespread way to make electricityC.energy problems will soon be solvedD.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54.What does the underlined word “drawback”(in meanA.effect B.advantage C.disadvantage D.concern55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageA.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricityB.Not all the areas could use wind power.C.Solar energy costs the mostD.Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.Task 3Directions: This task to is the same as Task 1.A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups. 56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______A.why people neglect their healthB.what people know about healthC.when to provide health educationD.who is more likely to become ill57.Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for coldA.They can cure common cold.B.Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.C.About 51% of the patients take them.D.Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.58.According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.A.only nicotine leads to cancerB.few people will get cancerC.”light ”cigarettes make people healthyD.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer59.About ______ of Taiwanese adults smokeA.one-third B.two-thirdsC.a half D.a quarter60.The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns.

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. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1~5 are besed on the following passage.Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul.The business of continuing the family lineage (血统)and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times.1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means ____.A. a very formal ritual(仪式)attended by boys and girlsB. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD. arranging games between men and women2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotelssuggests that ____.A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB. men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC. they are busy with communicating with different peopleD. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?A. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting.5. The passage is mainly about ____.A. the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB. the importance of a business contractC. the work of professional matchmakersD. the first meeting between men and womenPassage TwoQuestions 6~10 are based on the following passage.In the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.Then there was Tom who was always regarded as “average”. However, he set his goals high, thenfound a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.Researchers have found that school performance is little related to job performance. Qualities like “steady and dependable” and “practical and organized” are more important.“You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you can do.” Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy.6. A fast-tracker in this passage refers to a person who ____.A. feels happy with everythingB. makes others disappointed and unhappyC. is an excellent studentD. learns new things quickly7. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a fast-tracker?A. He is very talented in his work.B. He is not likely to get rich.C. He may not stick to his work.D. He is dependable and practical.8. The word “materialize” in the last paragraph means “____".A. matterB. appearC. matchD. attract9. It is implied in the passage that ____.A. one has no pleasure until he succeedsB. glue can help one focus on one’s work.C. success has nothing to do with special talentD. success is closely related to patience and steadiness10. A proper title for the passage can be ____.A. The magic of GlueB. The Way to SuccessC. Why Talented People Often Succeed QuicklyD. How average Achievers Do Better than OthersPassage ThreeQuestions 11~15 are based on the following passage.From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment ofthose who read.11. The main idea in the first paragraph is ____.A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good booksB. a good book may distract our attentionC. people can read good books in different waysD. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good books12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is ____.A. they are like human friends exactlyB. they never bore us in comparison with our human friendsC. they never hurt our feelingsD. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because ____.A. the reading environment is very goodB. the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC. we are alone and no one interrupts usD. we are asked to return the book the second day14.

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens livecrowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.16. People have become more interested in natural foods because ____.A. they like changing their diet from time to timeB. they want to eat food that is more deliciousC. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthyD. they want to be fashionable17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ____.A. has nothing nutritious added to itB. is essential for producing fruit and vegetablesC. contains unused vegetable matterD. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it18. According to the author, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ____.A. will not necessarily increase the production of foodsB. is a good way to improve the quality of foodsC. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantityD. is no good for health19. Chickens can be called “natural foods” only when ____.A. they are deliciousB. they are fed on food little better than rubbishC. they lay eggs rich in vitamins every dayD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely20. Which of the following is considered good for healthy eating?A. Unrefined flour and vegetables.B. White bread and honey.C. Canned beans and fruits.D. Mass-produced chickens and eggsPassage Four(英语专业必做)Questions 16~20 are based on the followlng passage.Drunken driving-sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho(男子汉)image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving your children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of peoplekilled by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop“responsible attitude”about drinking and teach them to resist peer pleasure to drink.New laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern(酒栈) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a customer who was“obviously intoxicated”and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to think well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the "noble experiment". They forgot that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the becoming drug trade, there is no easy solution.16. Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because ____.A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speedB. most drivers regard heavy drinking are part of the American macho imageC. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increasedD. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving?A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken divers.D. Because drunken drivers are conscious of their image.18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that ____.A. many drunken drivers were not of legal ageB. many young people were in no way qualified driversC. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragediesD. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken drivers19. Laws recently introduced in some states have ____.A. reduced the number of convictionsB. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidentsC. prevented bars from serving drunken driversD. specified the amount drivers can drink20. What's the author's attitude towards the solution to drunken driving in the United States?A. IronicaLB. Causal.C. Optimistic.D. Realistic.Part Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure(共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are 40 incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by fourchoices.

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

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 inBedford-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 of the 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 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 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 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 LosAngeles 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 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 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 or a 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 can 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 it 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!

The effect is small, but that still begs the question: Does marriage make you happy, or are happy people simply more likely to get married?Both answers may be true .In a study that followed more 30,000 Germans for 15 years, Diener and his colleagues found that happy people are more likely to get married and then stay married. But anyone can improve his or her mood by getting married. The effect begins about a year before the : “happy day ”and lasts for at least a year afterward .For most people, satisfaction levels do return to their baseline, but the researchers say this conceals(掩盖) the fact that a good marriage can have a permanent positive effect. Furthermore, people who are less happy to begin with will get a bigger boost from marriage.And it seems there’s something special about signing that piece of paper:The research shows that you can’t get as much benefit from simply cohabiting (同居)。

江苏省2009年普通高校专转本统一考试英语试卷(非英语专业)第I卷 (共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)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 theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul.The business of continuing the family lineage (血统)and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends.But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times.1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means ______.A. a very formal ritual(仪式)attended by boys and girlsB. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD. arranging games between men and women2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that ______.A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB. men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC. they are busy with communicating with different peopleD. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?A. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not.C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting.5. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB. the importance of a business contractC. the work of professional matchmakersD. the first meeting between men and womenPassage twoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.In the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.Then there was Tom who was always regarded as “average”. However, he set his goals high, then found a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.Researchers have found that school performance is little related to job performance. Qualities like “steady and dependable” and “practical and organized” are more important.“You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you can do.” Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy.6. A fast-tracker in this passage refers to a person who ______A. feels happy with everythingB. makes others disappointed and unhappyC. is an excellent studentD. learns new things quickly7. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a fast-tracker?A. He is very talented in his work.B. He is not likely to get rich.C. He may not stick to his work.D. He is dependable and practical.8. The word “materialize” in the last paragraph means “______”.A. matterB. appearC. matchD. attract9. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. one has no pleasure until he succeedsB. glue can help one focus on one’s work.C. success has nothing to do with special talentD. success is closely related to patience and steadiness10. A proper title for the passage can be ______.A. The magic of GlueB. The Way to SuccessC. Why Talented People Often Succeed QuicklyD. How average Achievers Do Better than OthersPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels ofengineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.11. The main idea in the first paragraph is ______.A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good booksB. a good book may distract our attentionC. people can read good books in different waysD. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good books12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is ______.A. they are like human friends exactlyB. they never bore us in comparison with our human friendsC. they never hurt our feelingsD. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because ______.A. the reading environment is very goodB. the book is extremely interesting and attractiveC. we are alone and no one interrupts usD. we are asked to return the book the second day14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life.D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books.15. “The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ______A. the world is more accessible in books than in realityB. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walkC. the world belongs to us whenever we askD. round-world trips can be made by everyonePassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Increasingly over the past ten years, people --- especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.16. People have become more interested in natural foods because ______.A. they like changing their diet from time to timeB. they want to eat food that is more deliciousC. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthyD. they want to be fashionable17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ______.A. has nothing nutritious added to itB. is essential for producing fruit and vegetablesC. contains unused vegetable matterD. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it18. According to the author, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ______.A. will not necessarily increase the production of foodsB. is a good way to improve the quality of foodsC. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantityD. is no good for health19. Chickens can be called “natural foods” only when ______.A. they are deliciousB. they are fed on food little better than rubbishC. they lay eggs rich in vitamins every dayD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely20. Which of the following is considered good for healthy eating?A. Unrefined flour and vegetables.B. White bread and honey.C. Canned beans and fruits.D. Mass-produced chickens and eggsPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences. Each sentence is followed by four choices.
