He had not legs butstumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at himand called him “Ape Man”(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good andhe needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of theusual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in oneof the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been movingaround on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even thestumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon haveto use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor saidthere was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as hehas always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By thistime he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. Therewere times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himselfup and went back to the endless marching. He went out on thestreet. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boatand learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job.

大一期末考试英语试题6
06 Passage 1Lane waited on the bench nearest the bridge, as he had been instructed. The strong cold wind blew straight across the river, and he had to pull his overcoat closer about him.He went over his instructions in his mind. The agent would appear at four o'clock. He would chat to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspaper behind. The plans would be found inside.A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down beside Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meal. He didn't look like a successful spy, Lane thought. He bore no resemblance to Lane's idea of a successful spy. His conversation about the weather was painfully uninteresting.A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Lane picked up the paper which lay on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news. He was excited to see the plans, pinned to the centre page. At that moment, however, there was a strong gust of wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.1. Sitting on the bench, Lane ____.[A] memorized his orders[B] recited his orders[C] tried to remember his orders[D] repeated his orders to himself2. The agent was going to give Lane some important ____.[A] papers[B] information[C] instructions[D] advice3. Lane found the agent very ____.[A] impressive[B] peculiar[C] ordinary[D] well-fed4. The agent left the newspaper ____.[A] by arrangement[B] at Lane's request[C] by mistake[D] out of kindness5. Lane ____.[A] got rid of the plans quickly[B] lost the plans[C] threw the plans away[D] managed to save the plans06 Passage 2Do you want a car? Many people want to get rid of (摆脱) their cars, and they are doing just that. Police say that about 110 cars are abandoned every night in New York city.Why do people leave their cars to be towed (拖) away by the police? Maybe the car just doesn't run any more. It would have to be towed to the junk dealer. Besides the cost of towing, the car owners would have to find a way to get home from the junk yard. This might cost money, too. So the license plates are removed, and the car is abandoned.How can the police stop people from filling the streets with abandoned cars? Faced with about 21,000 abandoned cars a year, the Chicago police made a plan. They checked engine registration numbers and were able to find the owners of the cars. Then the owners were charged for the towing. So far, the plan has turned the problem into a profit. The city has collected almost a million dollars from the towing, and sale of abandoned cars.Even if the city police can stop people from abandoning cars, we still must face the problem of cars that wear out. At present, there are about 40 million cars in junk yards across the country, and that number keeps going up.How can the U.S. Get rid of its large and growing car junk yards? A U.S. Senator from Illinois said that the government should use the tax collected on new cars to pay for the "burial" of old cars.If you're thinking of looking for and fixing up an abandoned car, forget it! You have to have a bill of sale or title from the owner before you can get new license plates.6. The author's purpose is ____.[A] to call for a tax on new cars[B] to praise the Chicago police[C] to tell about the problem of abandoned and worn-out cars[D] to tell you how to get a car7. From the information in this article, you could not say that ____.[A] abandoned cars are a nuisance[B] worn-out cars are piling up in junk yards[C] Chicago police found a solution to abandoned cars[D] if you want a car, find one that's been abandoned8. If one has to drive a car legally, one has to ____.[A] have a license plate[B] pay for the towing of the car[C] get rid of his old car properly[D] pay for the burial of his old car9. In this selection, the word "tow" probably means ____.[A] sell[B] drag[C] throw[D] collect10. A word opposite in meaning to "profit" is ____.[A] expense[B] gain[C] loss[D] payment06 Passage 3About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical words. When there is a new invention or discovery, a new word may be created after the inventor or scientist.It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the names of people. Lord(贵族) Sandwich who lived from 1718--1792 used to sit at the gambling(赌博) table eating slices of bread with meat in between. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friends began to call the bread "sandwich" for fun. Later on the word became part of the English language.The word "boycott" means to refuse to have anything with somebody or something. It comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes (税) for an English landowner in Ireland. But the Captain was a very hard man. He treated his poor tenants (房客) very badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed. The word "boycott" became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.11. A few hundred ____come from the names of people.[A] new inventions[B] languages[C] English words[D] new discoveries12. Lord Sandwich was fond of ____.[A] eating out all the time[B] sitting with his friends[C] playing games with words[D] taking bread with meat13. "Sandwich" is a word created by ____.[A] Lord Sandwich[B] scientists[C] the friends of Lord Sandwich[D] inventors14. The tenants did not like____.[A] to collect rents and taxes[B] the English landowner[C] the cruel land agent[D] to speak15. When the landowner found out that the tenants were boycotting his land agent, he ____.[A] dismissed(解雇) the agent[B] praised the agent[C] removed the poor tenants[D] increased the rents and taxes06 Passage 4In the past ten years several experts have tried to teach language to apes. One American psychologist trained his ape named Sarah to make sentences on a computer. Another American scientist trained an ape named Washoe to make signs for words. A third American scientist also trained an ape named Nim Chimpsky to use sign language. Nim learned over a hundred signs for different words. But can we say that these apes learned language?Dr. Herbert Terrace of New York City is a psychologist. He wanted to study the language ability of apes. He decided that he would raise a young ape in his home. He would send this ape to school, and teachers would teach him sign language. Then doctor Terrace would give different language tests to the ape. By this experiment he would discover if apes could learn language.Dr.Terrace's ape, a chimpanzee named Nim Chimpsky, went to nursery school at Columbia University. There he had special teachers who taught him signs for English words. These teachers worked with Nim for five hours every day. They treated Nim lovingly and patiently. In four months Nim learned the signs for 125 words.But during the next two years Nim's language did not improve very much. Nim still had a small vocabulary. Most of Nim's words were nouns for visible things such as table or apple. Nim learned a few active verbs such as bite. Jump, and hurry. He also learned some basic colors such as blue and red. Nim would often use two or three words together. He might make signs that said, "Nim eat apple." This seemed like an English sentence. But Nim would also use signs meaning "eat Nim apple. " This is not a correct English sentence.Dr. Terrace decided that Nim could not really learn language as humans can. For example, Nim never created new words. He never added new information to his sentence. Nim couldn't even begin sentences. He would only give responses to his teachers' questions. Will future experiments show that apes can learn language? Dr. Terrace doesn't think so.16. The main purpose of the several experiments with apes is to ____.[A] make sure how many words an ape can master[B] discover whether apes have the ability to learn language[C] know whether sign language will be acceptable in the future[D] decide the differences between humans and apes17. How long did the experiment with Nim last?____[A] 24 months [B] 4 months [C] 14 months [D] 28 months18. Nim's vocabulary was largely ____.[A] nouns for things he saw [B] verbs that were active[C] words for things at school [D] words for things he could eat19. Which of the following is Not True?____[A] Dr. Terrace raised Nim in his home [B] Dr. Terrace hired special teachers for Nim[C] Dr. Terrace taught Nim language [D] Dr. Terrace tested Nim's vocabulary20. Which of the following is Not True?____[A] Nim learned more nouns than verbs and adjectives[B] Nim had a small vocabulary after 4 months of learning [C] Nim often used two or three words at a time [D] Nim learned to speak English in four months21. Dr. Terrace finally decided that apes could not learn language mainly because ____.[A] they can hardly answer humans' questions[B] they can not make themselves understood[C] they can never learn in an active and creative way [D] all of the above22. The passage tells us that ____.[A] apes don't have language ability [B] Dr. Terrace is not a good psychologist[C] apes can learn signs for nouns and verbs [D] talking apes can only be a future possibility[总题数:22;总分数:44分;总参考时间:44分0秒]。

(完整版)大一英语上学期期末考试试卷
(完整版)大一英语上学期期末考试试卷2022级高校英语第一学期期末考试(A卷)Jan., 2022Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) 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) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneScience is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues tobe examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.21. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to state that ____________.A) most scientific discoveries are not reliableB) mass media is misleading because it looks at the research results onlyC) scientific research is a process filled with reverses and requiresslow and patientworkD) repeated experiments are necessary before medicine can be used in patients22. Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A) a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrongB) the end of a processC) the beginning of a new scientific inquiryD) the soundness of the result23. Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A) experiments have proved him rightB) scientists do not need so many experimentsC) one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D) scientific ideas are never free from challenge24. NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A) the way human beings learn about natureB) the failure of the scientific methodC) the fruitlessness of human search for life on another worldD) the excitement brought by scientific findings25. It can be inferred from the passage that the media is interested in __________.A) the process of scientific researchB) the results of scientific researchC) the scientists who do the researchD) the effects of scientific research on human lifePassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressureand strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find timefor great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A) 36B) 12C) 20D) 1527. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A) to live in a different universityB) to take a particular course in a different universityC) to live at home and drive to classesD) to get two degrees from two different universities28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because_________.A) their academic performance will affect their future careersB) they are heavily involved in student affairsC) they have to observe university disciplineD) they want to run for positions of authority29.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_________.A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB) they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC) such positions help them get better jobsD) such positions are usually well paid30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeDoreen Sykora is now a junior at Mcgill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-----even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.”HitoshiSakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.31. Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto were filled with nervousness and fear duringexaminations because they were__________.A) not ready and unaware of the answersB) physically so weak that they fell apartC) subject to test anxietyD) unable to write or think clearly32. The higher the students’ worry level is, __________.A) the less calm and relaxing they areB) the more difficult they will be trained to manage fearC) the more stressed and tense they areD) the longer courses they will take to manage fear33. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A) To help students to reduce test anxiety.B) To show a stress level experienced by students.C) To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D) To have a better understanding of test anxiety.34. What’s the meaning of “blank out” in paragraph one?A) To be like a blanket.B) To be sure of an answer.C) To be relaxed.D) To be unable to think clearly.35.Which of the following best sums up the organization of the passage?A) Examples----theories----ideas.B) Problem----strategy----examples----results.C) General statement----examples----result.D) Strategy----experiment----examples.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

01 Passage 1Hypnotism (催眠术) is very old. Thousands of years ago people started to use it in Egypt. The use of hypnotism has grown very much since that time. Today, doctors and scientists are in almost every country hypnotize people to help them with their problems.What is hypnotism, and how does it work? Many people think that a hypnotist puts people to sleep. Then he makes the hypnotized people do strange things. This is not what a hypnotist does. Hypnotism is really just a way to relax the mind and body.What are some of the uses of hypnotism? We go to a hypnotist because we have a problem. The problem makes us unhappy. The hypnotist asks us to think hard about something and relax. When we are relaxed, t he hypnotist gives us some ideas to help us with our problems.Hypnotism can help people to remember things. The police sometimes ask hypnotists to help them. For example, a man sees an accident. He forgets the license number of the car he sees. If he is hypnotized he may remember it. The police can then find the car and catch the driver.People who are hypnotized can also make mistakes or say something that isn't true. People remember what they think they saw. That may not be what really happened.The police don't hypnotize people who do something wrong. Why not? People who are hypnotized may say something that isn't true. A person who has done something bad has a good reason to say something that isn't true.1.

The passage mainly talks about ____.[A] how hypnotism works[B] the development of hypnotism[C] the use of hypnotism[D] the wonder of hypnotism01 Passage 2Even the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well known is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are over watered. Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall the plants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem. A plant that has been slightly under watered so that it droops strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Over watered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the over watered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the under watered plant --- but with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away5. Judging from the text, a horticulturist is one who ____.[A] raises animals[B] grows plants[C] gives advice to new gardeners[D] studies the watering of plants6. One of the commonest disasters that happen to plants of a new gardener is ____.[A] underwatering[B] overwatering[C] lack of fertilizer[D] a withering disease7. Which of the following plants has more chance of complete recovery? ____[A] A plant with its leaves drooping.[B] A plant with its lower leaves yellowing.[C] A plant with its roots rotting away.[D] A plant that slowly cease to thrive.8. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is ____.[A] to give general instructions for gardening[B] to give practical instructions for growing potted plants[C] to draw attention to the problem of underwatered plants[D] to draw attention to the problem of overwatered plants[总题数:8;总分数:16分;总参考时间:16分0秒]【参考答案】：1.C 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.B 6.B 7.A 8.D。

Firstly, it offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a different culture and gain a global perspective. Living and studying in a foreign country allows students to experience new customs, traditions, and languages, broadening their horizons and fostering a deeper appreciation for diversity.Secondly, studying abroad enhances personal growth and independence. Being away from home forces students to become more self-reliant, as they navigate unfamiliar territories and face challenges head-on. This newfound independence cultivates resilience and adaptability, traits that are highly valued in today's fast-paced and globalized world.Furthermore, studying abroad can significantly improve language skills. By being constantly exposed to a foreign language, students have theopportunity to practice and develop their communication abilities in real-world situations. This immersion in the language not only enhances language proficiency but also promotes a deeper understanding of the culture and its nuances.Lastly, studying abroad opens doors to new academic opportunities. Many universities offer specialized programs and courses that are not available in one's home country. This exposure to different teaching methods and academic perspectives can greatly enrich a student's learning experience and contribute to their intellectual growth.In conclusion, the benefits of studying abroad during university years are undeniable. From cultural immersion and personal growth to language development and academic opportunities, this experience offers a transformative journey that prepares students for success in an increasingly interconnected world.。

All these activities go on at the time of the year when the Christian churches are celebrating the birth of Christ some 2000 years ago. Christmas is a time for carol-singers (mainly groups of children who go from house to house singing traditional religious songs and receive money from the householders). It’s also a time of Christmas stockings hung b y the chimney or at the foot of the bed by children who believe that Father Christmas comes down the chimney and brings them their presents. It’s a time of rich, heavy food and plenty of drink. Christmas is the only time of the year that many families can afford to have alcoholic drink in the house. Traditionally, children who have grown up and left the family home return at Christmas to celebrate the festival with their parents.Commercial exploitation is increasing every year, and all the big department stores make a lot of money from the sale of presents, many of which will soon be forgotten both by the giver and the receiver. In almost every large store there is a “Father Christmas”, complete with a long white beard, red coat and trousers and snow-covered boots. December 25th and26th (Boxing Day, named after the “boxes” or presents that used to be given to servants on that day) are both national holidays, but New Year’s Day (January 1st) is not, except in Scotland, where it is more important than Christmas.Every home tries to obtain a Christmas tree, which is a type of fir tree. This is hung with presents and decorations and electric lights and forms the focus of the room in which the celebrations are taking place.1. At Christmas, Christian churches will ______.A) meet old friends B) receive giftsC) have parties D) celebrate the birth of Christ2. Carol-singers ______.A) are young children B) sing traditional religious songsC) rob money from house to house D) both A and B3. Children hang Christmas stockings ______.A) by the chimney B) at the foot of the bedC) on the wall D) both A and B4. Father Christmas ______ with a long beard, red coat and trousers and snow-covered boots.A) is a man B) is imagined to be a manC) lived D) likes a man5. Boxing Day is on ______.A) December 25th B) December 26thC) January 1st D) December 1stPassage 2Time spent in bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. Whatever the person, you can soon become totally in aware of your surroundings. You soon become engrossed（全神贯注) in some books, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment --- without buying a book, of course. This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting:" Can I help you, sir?" You needn’t buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing（游览）.Then, and only then, are his services necessary.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing -- something which had only vaguely interested you up until then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Booksellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent（宽容）.6. You may be unaware of the time passing by in a bookshop because ______.A) you want to escape the reality of everyday lifeB) you have to finish browsing one of the booksC) you don't want to waste your moneyD) you have to make sure you don't buy a dull book as a present7. In a good bookshop _______.A) the shop assistant greets you in a friendly wayB) you feel obliged to buy one of the booksC) your heart is contentedD) no shop assistant will approach you unless his service is called8. It is very unwise to enter a bookshop and buy ______.A) a best-selling novel on brass-rubbingB) a book on ancient coinsC) a book on the subject that vaguely interests youD) a book well illustrated and expensive9. According to the writer, the best way to escape the realities of routine life is _____.A) to have a long chat with assistant in a bookshopB) to stay in a bookshop, being absorbed in reading books of various kindsC) to buy a best-selling novel to readD) to wander about in the streets10. The best title of this selection would be 632A) On buying booksB) Bookshops and AssistantsC) Booklovers and BookshopsD) How to Escape the Realities of Everyday Life in a BookshopPassage 3Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society, There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes readily on human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.11. According to the passage, one of the factors that tend to promote social change is _____.A) mutual interest B) different points of viewC) more worldly people D) advanced technology12. Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in manyways because______.A) people there are always satisfied with their living conditionsB) people there have identical needs that can be met without much disputesC) people there have got accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think itnecessary to changeD) people there are less emotional and easy to please13. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A) Social values play an important role in social change.B) Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspects of society.C) Social change is more likely to occur if it comes graduallyD) Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects ofsociety.14. The expression "greater tolerance" in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.A) greater willingness to accept social changeB) quicker adoption to changing circumstancesC) more respect for different beliefs and behaviorD) greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas15. The passage mainly discusses______.A) two different societiesB) the necessary of social changeC) different social changesD) certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occurPassage 4An ebook (also referred to as an electronic book, Ebook, or e-book) is a digital version (版本) of a print book that you download and read. But if you want to read an ebook, you must have an Ebook Reader, which is a kind of free software used by your computer. Make sure you have installed the appropriate Reader before you download your ebook from the Internet. The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.

Some ebooks are even interactive! Best of all, when you order an ebook, there is no waiting and no shipping charges. The amount of time it takes to download your ebook depends on the speed of your connection and the size of your ebook.16.

The Ebook Reader is used for ______.A. reading an ebook you’ve downloadedB. turning a print book into a digital version.C. downloading an ebook from the Internet.D. copying an ebook onto a portable computer.18.

For questions S1-S3, complete the sentences with theinformation given in the passage and answer the questionson Answer Sheet 1.One of the best parts of university life is living away from home. You get freedom and the chance to meet new people. You are living away from home, planning your own routine and even cooking your own meals——and that means looking after your own money. At university, it’s all about the cash. Fees, student loans, rent, bills, overdraft (银行透支款)——you name it, you might have to pay for it. An important aspect of being at university is managing your own time. It’s up to you to decide when you’ll study, when you’ll go shopping and when you’ll have a night out. Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? Of course, it is a good idea to organize your time with a weekly or monthly schedule. Remember, you can be as flexible with your time as you like, but you’ll always need to make sure you get out of bed for lectures, meet essay and project deadlines, and schedule in plenty of revision days before exams. After a hard day’s study, going out and having fun is what student life is all about. You can get involved in voluntary work and student representation activities and you could contribute and learn new skills with student magazine and r adio station. It’s the perfect way to make friends and add a bit of sparkle to you CV(个人简历).University life is about learning. You’ll be expected to go to all your lectures and classes. Most courses are assessed through exams, essays, practical work an d projects. You’ll have anything from one to five hours of lectures, in a day. But on top of that, you are expected to do a number of hours of self-study. Every student has a personal tutor to help with any problems you might have or you can speak to your lecturers and other tutors if you have questions. If you plan you time and your workload, you’ll have plenty of free time to enjoy student life at university. Plus, getting a degree makes sense in the long run——graduates earn more and are more likely to get a job than people without a degree.1. According to the author, which is not the advantage of being awayfrom home?A. FreedomB. Being rich.C. The chance to meet new friends.D. Plan your own routine.2. Being college students, you can____________.A. plan your time freely.B. borrow a lot of money from the bank.C. cook in your friends’ houses.D. spend money at your will.3.

The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. Foreach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And. of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure t hat the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的).Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language.A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.The employee pos ted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.48. W hat is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?A. Critical. C. Indifferent.B. Prejudiced. D. Positive.49. W ith the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, business people ______.A. have to get familiar with modern technology.B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations.C. are attaching more importance to their overseas business.D. are eager to work overseas.50. I n this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para.3) probably means ____.A. being unable to think properly for lack of insight.B. being totally out of touch with business at home.C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad.D. leaving all care and worry behind.51. A ccording to the passage, what is an important consideration ofinternational corporations in employing people today?A. Connections with businesses overseas.B. Ability to speak th e client’s language.C. Technical know-how.D. Business experience.52. T he advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _______.A. better control the whole negotiation process.B. easily find new approaches to meet market needs.C. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters.D. easily make friends with businesspeople abroad.Part VI Cloze (5 minutes) (5%)Directions Read the following passage and fill in each of the numbered blanks with one suitable word.
