电大学位英语试题及答案

学位英考试试题-1Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?A. French.B. Greek.C. Roman.D. German.2. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_______.A. lettersB. photographsC. paintingsD. objects3. Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”?A. Ice and Iow temperature.B. Bacteria and oxygen.C. Soil and energy.D. Acid and water.4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Lindow Man”was named after the person who first found him.B. Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.C. “Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.D. “Lindow Man”was good at manual work.5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. What Is Archaeology?B. Archaeology and HistoryC. An Amazing Archaeological DiscoveryD. The Death of“Lindow Man”Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn't easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. (78) After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we're crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of Strangers. In recent years, it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble (涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. (79) The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life. The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.6. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. The city inspires talented people.B. The city hurts your brain.C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.D. The city seriously affects the natural balance.7. The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.A. citizenB. natureC. cityD. stress8. People have just come to realize that_______.A. human attention is a scarce resourceB. city life can make people very tiredC. the city is an engine of intellectual lifeD. an urban environment is damaging to the brain9. What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?A. Nature.B. Better treatment.C. Experienced doctors.D. Good medicine.10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Different aspects (方面) of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to an increase in self-control.B. Small changes in urban design, cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C. For the first time in history, the earth's population is more urban than rural.D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Breastfeeding (母乳喂养) for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman's risk of getting diabetes (糖病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 women f~om Califomia. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz's study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. (80) “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who don't breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The finding isn't surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to women who get diabetes (occurring during pregnancy (怀孕)) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.11. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. About two thousand and two hundred old women took part in the study.B. Eleanor Schwarz's research program was about men and women who suffered from diabetes.C. Over one fifths of the women never got married.D. Eleanor Schwarz's results seem more reliable.12. According to Schwarz's findings, who are more likely to get diabetes later in life?A. Those mothers who had never breastfed.B. Those mothers who never gave birth.C. Those mothers who breastfed for a month.D. Those mothers who breastfed for six months.13. Which of the following statements would Schwarz agree with?A. Breastfeeding is not advisable because it is not good for a mom to keep a good shape.B. Breastfeeding can greatly reduce a mother's chances of getting all kinds of serious disease.C. Breastfeeding for a month is highly recommended: the longer, the better.D. Breastfeeding for a month or longer makes babies smarter.14. What does the author mean by “moms-to-be” in the last paragraph?A. Women who are pregnant, especially for the first time.B. Women who dream of having babiesfor the first time.C. Women who already have children.D. Women who have just got babies for the first time.15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Breasffeeding May Enhance Babies' Chances of SurvivalB. Breasffeeding May Lower Moms' Diabetes RiskC. Breasffeeding May Become Very Fashioaable in Near FutureD. Breasffeeding May Help Women Lose WeightPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

１、规则和习俗 A man on a lonely islandA man on a lonely island can act as he likes because he has no one to consider except himself. But when Robinson Crusoe discovered footprints in the sand, he could no longer act precisely as before. He had to think of the existence of a companion and the possible effect of his actions upon a second person. Two people thus suddenly brought face to face can not ignore each other. Either one must overcome the other or they must arrive at some form of coexistence.In the latter event they have first to convince each other of their friendly intentions. When a man comes upon a tribe whose language he does not know, he will nod and smile, make friendly gestures and perhaps send them small gifts. If these offers are successful, the tribesmen will take him to their village and bring him food and drink. Moreover, the arrival of an important visitor is something out of the ordinary. So, as an answer to the feeling that their guest should be treated as well as they can, something better than the ordinary food will be provided, and the meal followed by singing and dancing. The host wishes to make his guest feel at home, the guest to show thanks of the kindness he has received.Questions of good behavior and consideration for others maybe have arisen in one form or another since social life began, because social life is impossible if each person thinks only of himself.If men are to live together in a community they must, as a measure of common sense and in the interest of all，accept a certain number of rules and conventions. Such agreement is more than ever necessary. Chaos may result when four people play bridge according to widely different conventions. The same is true of social life.1. A man on a lonely island can act as he likes, because _______.D. he feels it unnecessary to consider others2. Two strangers will never get along well unless _______.C. they make peace with each other or one defeats the other3. If you meet a tribe whose language you don't know, you can offer all the followings EXCEPT ___.A. teaching them your language4. The arrival of an important visitor is something out of the ordinary, so they will .C. receive the visitor better5. If you want to live well in a community, .C. you should follow the rules and conventions of societymanners. But what are good manners? How does one know what to do and what not to do? Well, here are some examples.A person with good manners never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind to others. When people are waiting for a bus, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front of the line. On the bus he gives his seat to an older person or a person with a very young child. If he knocks into someone, or gets in his way, he says "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "Please" when he asks for something and "Thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when he is speaking to an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person takes his seat. He does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He does not talk too much. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When he is eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food. He uses a handkerchief when he sneezes or coughs. He does not spit in public.As a student, it is a bad manner to come late to class. If you are late you should make an apology to the teacher either at the time or after the class. It is also a bad manner to keep silent when the teacher asks you a question. If you do not know the answer, say so immediately. If you do know, answer in a loud enough voice so that all the class may hear. It is polite for the students to help the teacher. Sometimes students can help their teachers to clean the blackboard, to close or open the door or windows.Sometimes there are papers to collect or to hand out. This kind of help is always appreciated. Ideas of what are good manners are not always the same in different countries. But in all countries it is important to be kind and helpful.1. person with good manners is popular with others because ____.B. he knows what to do and what not to do on different occasions2. A person with good manners will ____ those in trouble.D. do whatever he can do help3. When you are with an old man, you should do all the following except ______.C. interrupting him if he talks too much4. Which of the following is NOT proper for a student with good manners to do?A. Making no sound all the time in class.5. You'd better keep in mind that _____.example, the number of elephants killed illegally in Africa has fallen sharply. 89 thousand were killed in 1983. 46 thousand were killed one year later.This happened because African countries agreed to establish export limits on ivory from elephants. Ivory is the hard white material that forms an elephant's two long teeth, or tusks. Countries that import ivory are refusing to accept ivory shipments that do not have legal export documents.The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in a treaty signed by 91 nations led to the program for saving endangered elephants in Africa.Successful efforts also have been made in protecting Africa's endangered mountain gorillas. Almost 400 of the gorillas survive in a volcano area on the border of Rwanda, Uganda and Zaire. The mountain gorilla population has remained about the same for 15 years. This happened partly, because Rwanda developed an important business that depends on protecting the gorillas. Visitors there can pay to get close to watch the gorillas in the animals' traditional home area.Another successful program is to take endangered animals out of their natural homes. The animals are put into zoos or other protected areas where they can reproduce in safety. The goal of many of these programs is to produce enough animals to put back into the wild.51. What is the best title for this passage?B) Protecting Endangered Species52. The number of elephants killed illegally in Africa has decreased greatly in that ______.A) African countries agreed to establish export limits on ivory from elephants53. In Africa, the number of elephants killed illegally in 1983 and 1984 was _____.C) 135,00054. The number of mountain gorillas has remained about the same for many years partly because of ___.A) the development of an important business that depends on protecting the gorillas55. The phrase "the wild" in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.stick and the overlarge shoes.Much has been written about chaplin’s art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him “the most general human being of our time” came closest to the truth. Those who have called h im a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work, it is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that th figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.All the writers who give accounts of chaplin’s life agree that charlie’s unhappy early years in the area in London where hous es were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made, chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs(回忆录), the more one reads about his earliest period, the more on tends to agree indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him.Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films, he gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from world war I in 1918, this was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the mail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing(讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age and even making fun of Hitler.Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie chaplin continue to be popular. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks.1 all of the following about Charlie chaplin are true exceptA he was born in the USA2 according to the author, Charlie chaplin has been popular with generation after generation becauseD both B and C3 according to Charlie chaplin’s life history writers,_had a strong influence on the type of films he made.D his unhappy early years in the poor area in London4 according to the passage, which of the following true?D chaplin’s films are the combinations o f funny and sad elements5 this passage wasUSA today, about 75% of jobs require some education or technical training beyond high school. The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees, college graduates out-earn those without a college education, people with master’s degrees out-earn those with only bachelor’s, and the highest incomes of all are earned by people with advanced academic degrees. These facts explain why m ost of young Americans go to college. But more diplomas don’t always mean more money. Many skilled blue-collar workers, salespeople, and business executives out-earn college professors and scientist. And great athletes and actors out- earn everyone else!But college education is not only preparation for a career, it is also (or should be) preparation for life. In addition to courses in their major field of study, most students have time to take elective course. They may take classes that help them understand more about human nature, government, the arts, or sciences.Today, more than half of American high school graduates go to college. But recently high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Today, it is quite common for adults of all ages to come back to college for personal growth. Now about half of all the American college students are older than 25, and 20% of them are over 35.For Americans, to receive college education is very important. This is proved by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. About 20% of Americans are college graduates, however, am ong younger adults and working people, the percentage is at least 25%, much higher than in most other major nations, in the USA, college education is not regarded as privilege for the wealthy or the academically talented. In fact everyone who wants to go to college can do so.1. many young Americans want to go to college becauseB they can get higher income with higher degrees2. it could be concluded from the second paragraph thatC college education can make a student understand a lot about the world around him3. when the students study in college, they canD do all of the above4. in America, the percentage of college graduates among working people isB much higher than in most other major nations5. which of the following can most probably be inferred from the passage?B all of the Americans have realized the importance of receiving a college education６、保持年轻If you want to keep youngIf you want to keep young, sit down and have a good think, this is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are getting old soon.Professor taiju matsuzawa at Tokyo national university wanted to find out why quite he althy fanners in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down. With a team of researchers, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and different jobsComputer technology enabled the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was seen in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year -olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction- using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.”those with least possibility.” Said matsuzawa, “are lawyers, followed by un iversity professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as likely to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants”1 the team of doctors wanted to find outB why some people age sooner than others2 the front and side parts of the brain relate to all of the following aspects EXCEPTD eating and breathing3 the word “subjects”(in paragraph 4) most probably refers toB persons chosen to be studied in an experiment4 according to the research findings, which kind of people seems to age most quickly?D farm workers4 according to the passage, which people seems to age slower than the others?B lawyers5 which of the following sentences is NOT mentioned in the passage?C the team of doctors made these tests in order to show how the brain works6 On What are their research findings based?C The study of brain volumes of different people.7 The doctor’s tests show that ____ .of the gold rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants, he asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim(斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren’t strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept pulling loose from the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn’t strong enough. So Levi used rivets(铆钉) attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys’saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.1 this article as a whole is aboutA. how people got blue jeans2 while not stated in the article, you can tell thatC Levi made more money than many gold miners3 the word this in the first paragraph, last sentence, refers toC. many people looking for gold4 Levi used strong blue cotton cloth to make pants becauseC. miners wanted pants which could stand rough work5 which of the following sentences is not correct?own symptoms and cure.Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs andsymbols of social intercourse. Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we 4orient ourselves to the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meetpeople when and how to give tips how to make purchases when to accept and when to refuseinvitations when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues which may be words gesturesfacial expressions customs or norms are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are asmuch a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for ourpeace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues most of which we do not carry on the levelof conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture all or most of these familiar cues are removed.He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be aseries of props have been knocked from under you followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety.People react to the frustration in much the same way.First they reject the environment which causes thediscomfort. “The ways of the host country are bad because they make me feel bad.” When foreigners ina strange land get together to grouse about the host country and its people you can be sure they aresuffering from culture shock. Another phase of culture shock is regression. The home environmentsuddenly assumes a tremendous importance. To the foreigner everything becomes irrationally glorified.All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. Itusually takes trip home to bring one back to reality.1. According to the passage culture shock ______.C is actually not a disease2. According to the passage culture shock results from ______.A the sudden change of the social atmosphere and customs3. Which one of the following may not be the symptoms of culture shockC You suddenly forget what a word means.4. How would a person who stays abroad most probably react when he or she is frustrated by the culture shock according to the passageA He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange environment at first.5. This passage is most likely taken from ______.was named after the goal Janus.Janus was a strange god with two faces that could look in two directions.He could look forward and back at the same time,so he was the god of beginnings and endings.January,the first month of the year,is a time at which one looks forward to the New Year and back to the old year.2.The name February comes from a Roman celebration called Februa.Februa was a celebration of cleaning.Toward the end of February,after the long winter months,people begin to think of spring cleaning.This probably was the origin of the name of the month.February has only twenty-eight days except every fourth year,when it has an extra day.This is because in every year there are exactly 365 days and six hours.At the end of four years,these six extra hours of each year add up to twenty-four hours,or one full day.This fourth year,in which February has twenty-nine days,is called leap year.3.The third month,March,was named after the Roman god of war,Mars.Mars was a strong god,and the Roman people always connected him with thunder and lightning.Pictures of Mars always show him with lightning above his head.It is natural that March should be named after this god since in most of North America,it is a month of strong winds,rain,and storms.There is frequent thunder and lightning in March.4.The exact origin of the word April is not known.The word probably comes from the Latin word aperire,meaning "to open".Today,the Italian word for "to open" is aprire and the Spanish word is abrir.In the month of April,the skies open and give us rain.The rain aids in the opening of life among trees,grass,and flowers.5.May was named after the young and beautiful goddess of the fields,Maia.Maia was the mother of the god Mercury.Another beautiful goddess,Juno,the wife of Jupiter,give us the name of the month of June.6.The seventh month of the year,July,was named after Julius Caesar.Caesar was a famous general who became dictator of Rome.Before the time of Caesar,the year began in March instead of in January.Caesar made a new calendar,which is the one we use at present.He himself was born in July,the seventh month of the new calendar.7.After Julius Caesar,his grandnephew Augustus became the ruler of Rome.Augustus' real name was Octavian,but when he becameemperor,the people wished to please him.They gave him the title of Augustus,meaning "noble",and they named the eighth month,August,after him.8.The months of September,October,November,and December need little explanation.In our calendar today,they are the ninth,tenth,eleventh,and twelfth months.But in the old calendar before Julius Caesar,they were the seventh,eighth,ninth,and tenth months.Their names therefore came from the Latin words for seventh,eighth,ninth,and tenth.1.在英语里，一年中每个月份的名字来源于拉丁语。

Passage 1Human Resources Management (HRM) is the process of managing people and their relationships in an organization. These two processes are important in the success and growth of a business.In managing people, staffing is the most important component of HRM. It needs to make guidelines and procedures for hiring and placement. Staffing also involves the management of employees on matters like monitoring of holidays, absences, health and safety, disciplinary action, and dismissal.Another important element of HRM in managing people is keeping the employees in the company. The training of employees to enable them to improve their career development is very important. Good HRM policies ensure that there are clear regulations which show the pay levels for the different positions in an organization. It is important for the staff to know the career path, pay, training and other opportunities that are available to them. Performance management is another important component of HRM. The reason for this is that many employers use it to evaluate career improvement and to determine pay increases.The secondary role of HRM is the management of the relationships among people in an organization. This includes staff within departments as well as across the whole organization. The relationship between staff and management is an imporlanl factor in the success of an organization. It decides how fast an organization will realize their goals.The focus of HRM is the people within an organization. Regular planning, monitoring and evaluation are important for the success of HRM. Successful management ensures that all employees know their role, career development and also feel part of an organization.1.Human Resources Management involves the management of.A.peopleB. people's relationshipsC. payD. people and their relationshipsis not mentioned for staffing.A.holidaysB. health and safetyC. disciplinary actionD. trainingThe underlined word "evaluate" in the 3rd paragraph means.A.improveB. assessC. ensureD. enableThe focus of HRM is thewithin an organization.A.staffB. performanceC. managementD. the board of directorsThe passage mainly talks with.A.teamwork spiritB.talents and goalsC.managing people as well as their relationshipsD.career path Passage 2To save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to say, but why is it so difficult to do? To answer this question, you need to study the factors that keep you spending all the time.Easv access to creditFor most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can easily get acredit card, simply by filling out a short form in a bank or going to their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even buy cars or houses. When you aren't physically handing someone money or a check for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you aren't spending money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.Misusing credit cardsA credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to lei the balance continue from month to month. If you make a $20() purchase on your credit card and find out that at the end of the month you can't afford to repay the full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to hurt you. That is no way of saving money.Giving in to temptationWe all need to enjoy life, but don't waste your financial future for a few guilty pleasures today if they aren't in your budget. When you know that you can't afford an activity, don't give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.1.According to the passage, what is the main reason most people overspend?A.Too much temptation.B.Easy access to credit cards.C.Easy access to online shopping.D.Too easy way to borrow money from friends.2.Which of the following statements regarding a credit card is NOT correct?A.It helps to make ends meet.B.It is an interest free short-term loan.C.It is a powerful financial tool.D.An application should be made.3.What is recommended if we can't afford an activity?A.Giving in to the temptation.B.Simply giving it up.C.Inviting your friends over for it.D.Spending money as you like.4.What docs the underlined word "budget" in the last paragraph mean?A.pocketB. activityC. financial toolD. financial planWho will benefit most from the passage?A.Those who don't know how to make money.B.Those who don*t know how to use credit cards.C.Those who want to save money, but enjoy life.D.Those who want to save money, but can't make ends meet.Passage 3To minimize traffic jams in the city center and on major roads out of Sydney, the city's Highway Department will not agree to road closures scheduled for weekdays or Saturdays. On minor roads outside the city center, weekdays and Saturdays may be considered. You must apply for approval to do roadwork and other road-related activities, tree cutting and use of very large construction machinery, ladders, etc. Please note that approval is needed if youplan to block the road or footpath.Applications to have a road closed to traffic must be completed and sent to the Department's Traffic Calming Committee at least a month before the scheduled date.Roads can be closed partially or fully, depending on your requirements. Partial road closures are only allowed in light traffic areas where there will be at least 1 lane for traffic with extra traffic control measures to make sure 2-way traffic can continue to run for the duration of the work. Any change of traffic flow will require the proposal to be treated as a full road closure. For further information about a partial road closure, please refer to Contacts.If you are organizing a parade, march or other type of street-based event, approval is also required and we recommend you choose one of our 4 preferred routes. Choosing an existing route reduces the amount of planning you will need to do.1.Sydney's Highway Department will agree to road closures planned forinthe city center.A.SaturdaysB.

ContactsThe underlined word "parade” in the last paragraph means.A.partyB.matchC. celebrationpassion3.The main idea of the passage is aboutin Sydney.A.road closure proceduresB. road conditionsC. traffic conditionsD. road repair procedures Passage 4What often troubles food companies is how to control problems like rats and insects without harming the food. Pest control experts say poisons should never be used where they may enter food and the first line of defense against pests is to clean the places where the food is handled or stored.Floors, food preparation surfaces and tools can be disinfected with chemicals. Food containers should be stored about half a meter off the ground and half a meter away from any walls. Storage areas should be kept dry and clean.Containers for raw materials such as rice and wheat should be kept closed and clean. Any foodstuff split during delivery or handling should be cleared up both inside and outside the building. Pests enter a building from the outside, so pay attention to outer walls. Small stones can be used to cover the ground and block the growth of plants and the grass should be kept short to deoy pests a place to live.Check that doors and windows are completely closed. Also any hole that might allowpests to enter a building should be filled. Rats can enter through a hole the size of a coin. A mouse can pass through a hole half that size.Supervisors should make a list of pest control measures to be taken by employees. In most countries, there is a food and drug administration bureau, or some agency with a similar name, which enforces rules nationwide, responsible for rules about the use of pesticides, etc. However, businesses where food is stored, prepared or sold must also follow state and local health laws. Most of these governmental departments or bureaus have websites with information about food safety policies and other issues. People can easily access the information.1.Where should food containers be stored?A.On the floors.B.On the walls.C.Either off the floors or away from the walls.D.Both off the floors and away from the walls.2.What does the underlined word "deny" in Para. 3 mean?A.offerB. keepC. refuseD. helpWhy are outer walls important?A.Stopping sunlight from entering a building from the outside.B.Preventing pests from entering a building from the outside.C.Keeping moisture from entering a building from the outside.D.Being waterproof.3.Where can people easily access lhe information about food safety policies?A.From the food companies.B.From pest control experts.C.From Government departments and bureaus.D.From the websites of Government departments and bureaus.4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.How to make food containers clean.B.How to prevent pests from entering the food.C.How to keep pests and chemicals from food storage.D.How to kill pests with poison.Passage 5Door-knocking is the most effective way of making face-to-face community contact, but it has become a lost art. With the recent focus on customer privacy, doorknocking seems like an intrusion into other people's lives. But those who try it for the first time are usually surprised by the pleasant reception they receive. Here are some suggestions that will help you promote your services face-to-face.BEFORE YOU GO OUT・Begin with a door hangerTry leaving a door hanger two days before you go door-knocking. It should brieily describe the project and say that someone will be around in person.・Wear an official name tagDoor-knockers should wear name tags with the logo of their organization. The best name tags will also include a color photo and the name of the caller.WHEN YOU GO OUT・When to go and what to do firstThe best times to knock are usually Saturdays. On other days, after dinner is ideal. When someone answers the door, smile and introduce yourself; say you are a volunteer and, if it helps, state where you live. Give the name of your organization and, briefly, the reason for the visit.・State what action the other person should take and the benefitsTell the person what they need to do and how their actions will benefit themselves and others. If a person hesitates, emphasize the benefits you've already mentioned and then, if necessary, add further benefits. If a person agrees, follow up immediately. If possible, get a donation, a signature, or a promise.・Record contact information on the spotRecord names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and responses to questions on the spot.

All of the above.Passage 6A Quality Management System (QMS) should clearly understand customers5 requirements, and provide good design, qualified production in an efficient way.When the Quality Management System fails to fulfill its function and customer requirements are not met, customers might be upset; management and employees both might be unhappy, but its negative influence is not so widespread. Unluckily, some Quality Management System failures do make headlines. Here are two cases of famous quality management failures:The Ford Pinto is the most well-known and the worst disaster in the whole US automobile industry in the 1970s. Apparently the whole US auto industry decided to spend the 1970s resting on their laurels after building great cars that sold well during the sixties. Not only were many cars built in the 1970s ugly and poorly designed, they also became veryunreliable after 40-50 thousand miles. The Pinto tops the list of QMS failures because of its dangerous design faults and the questionable ethical decisions made by top management.Apple almost lost its dominance in the smart phone market when it became clear that it was difficult to make a call using the much expected iPhone 4. Calls were suddenly stopped causing widespread dissatisfaction among loyal customers. Independent tests showed that touching the left side of the case at a certain spot interrupted the signal and dropped the call 一not a great feature for a handheld device mainly used to make calls. Meanwhile Apple continued to deny the problem. As the problem continued to make news headlines, Apple finally agreed to a "voluntary" recall to correct the problem.1.What shouldn't a Quality Management System do?A.It should understand customers5 requirements clearly.B.It should produce quality products.C.It should produce well-designed products.D.It should work inefficiently.2.When the quality management system fails to perform its function, which of the following statements might not be true?A.Customers may be upset.B.Negative influence must be widespread.C.Top management might be unhappy.D.Employees might be unhappy.3.Which of the following statements is NOT correct in the description of the cars made in 1970s?A. They soldwell.B.They were unreliable.C. They wereugly.D.They were poorly designed.4.What does the underlined word "ethical'' in Para. 3 mean?A. essentialB.finalC. moralD.nationalWhat was the problem with iPhone 4?A.It did not have a good feature.B.It was not a good handheld device.C.It lost its dominance in the phone market.D.It had technical difficulties in making calls.Passage 7The 2014 Ebola outbreak is the largest in history and the first one in West Africa. Although the current epidemic does not cause a significant risk to other nations, many countries, including China and the United States of America, have actually been working closely with the Ebola hit states. For example, the US Centers fbr Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is taking precautions at home besides its activities abroad.CDC's team of "virus hunters” is supported by specialized public health teams both in West Africa and at the CDC Atlanta headquarters.

That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty."I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirensgoing, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. "But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about."Just about that time, "Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under thatcar, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He'd blown his engine. Now he had to stop. ""After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver's license（执照）. "That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty－a thousand dollars for the new engine－not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.1. The meaning of "panicked"in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.2. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?3. Which of the following statements is true?4. The driver of the Firebird ______.5. What is probably the best title for the article?第1空答案 D. fear第2空答案 C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.第3空答案 A.

Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise andthe smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.56. The word "those" in the first sentence refers toC. interests57.Why do big monopolies buy inventions?C. They want to make more money.58.Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephenson's experiment?C. It would waste coal.59. The word "dream" in the first paragraph refers to _____B. inventors' plans for invention60. What is the main idea of this paragraph?D. Oppositions to Stephenson the inventor.（二）As a young girl, Elizabeth Barrett (Browning英国作家勃朗宁) ruptured a blood vessel on the lungs which did not heal. The physician consigned her to a milder climate for the winter and she went Devonshire for restoration. Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was her eldest brother.For a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the while being greatly benefited by mild sea breezes of Torquay.One summer morning her brother went board a smallsailboat with two friends for a trip of several hours around the coast. Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barrett sat watching, the boat struck a sunken reef; and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistant could be rendered. None of the bodies were ever found although the whole village, full of sympathy, assembled in search. This was the tragedy which utterly prostrated for some years afterwards the health and soul of Elizabeth Barrett. Somehow she felt that she herself had in some measure been the cause of all this horror, and she suffered accordingly. Her whole being seemed shattered, and a year longer elapsed before, she was able to be more to London. This fatal event, which so saddened her youth gave also a still deeper devotional feeling to hue of sorrow so apparent in many of her earlier pieces.61.What sort of climate did Elizabeth's doctor prescribe?A. Temperate.62.How many people were drowned when the boat sank?C. Three63. How did the tragedy affect Elizabeth?D. It affected her both physically and emotionally.64.

And the word "television" means "seeing far". Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast "live" from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outerspace. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic "moon walk" to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.56. Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because _______.C. it brings the world into people's own home in sight and sound57. Television became an industry in _______.D. the 1950s58. The word "incalculable" means______.A. very great59. The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to _______.D. be telecast in full color60. The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people to _______.C. watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo（二）The seriously depressed person sees himself in a very negative way. He is sure that he is alone and hopeless. He often blames himself for ordinary faults and shortcomings which he exaggerates. He is very discouraged about himself, the world, and his future. He becomes less interested in what is going on around him and doesn't get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite common. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells. Many of these spells are short and common.Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He may even attempt suicide.So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatal mental illness. Not all those suffering from depressive illness do attempt suicide. But the relationship is striking. It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed. Other studies show that the person hospitalized for depression is about 36 times more likely to commit suicide than is the non-depressed person. The greatest risk occurs during or immediately after hospitalization. After age 40, the possibility of suicide increases in very depressed person. Almost twice as many women as men suffer from depressive illness. Almost twice as many women as men attempt suicide, but three times more men than women succeed.61. Depressives share the feeling that they______.C. have lost something62. Depressive illness may be considered the only mental illness_____.A. which is fatal63. Of the people who attempt suicide, _____.C. most suffer from depression64. The greatest risk of suicide occurs ____.C. just after hospitalization65. Statistics show that______.A. more men than women commit suicide（三）It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.66.The story took place in ____.D. winter67. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because___.A. he wanted to make extra money.68. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _____.C. handmade69. From the way he looked, it was evident that Robin was ____.B. a country boy70.How did Robin appear as he walked into the town?A. He was cheerful and excited.（四）It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty."I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. "But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developedsomething new to panic about."Just about that time, "Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He'd blown his engine. Now he had to stop. ""After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver's license（执照）. "That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty－a thousand dollars for the new engine－not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.71. The meaning of "panicked"in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.D. fear72. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.73. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.74. The driver of the Firebird ______.B. had some trouble with his car75. What is probably the best title for the article?B.
