江苏省2011年普通高校专转本选拔考试英语试题卷(非英语类专业)第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the bet choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity. There are so many different kinds of food in the world一 Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare different types of cuisine. Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all - sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning!Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many pars of the world. Lots of people love Chinese-style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crispier than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispiest cooked vegetables you can find.Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more "fast food", such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often， Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. it's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an "art form". Some people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly，each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.1. The main idea of this passage is that ▲ .A. American food is less delicious than food in other countriesB. people in many countries prefer Chinese foodC. it's interesting to compare a variety of food in different countriesD. people enjoy different kinds of food in the world2.

And not just any cell phone-the iPhone 3G.According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Social Informatics at Tokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free as part of their study materials.This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representative of the iPhone in Japan. The number of students using the iPhone is expected to reach about 1，000. This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japanese university.The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system (GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem in Japan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a student's grade. Students often fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls.Now， with the iPhone 3G， the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students are allowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a fact that will be proved by the phone's GPS)， lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student can't answer the roll cal using the phone from any location other than the classroom.Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates, but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phones that they don't want to share with others.As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, but students will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits.6. According to the passage， American children are ▲ at school.A. encouraged to use cell phonesB. not encouraged to use cell phonesC. offered a new type of free cell phonesD. allowed to use free cell phones7.

The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883，she was abandoned by her father after her mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nickname Coco， which means "little pet".Staring out as a hat designer， Coco went against the fancy hats being worn at the time. "How can a brain function under those things，" she wondered. Instead，she created simple， but beautiful designs which became popular with fashionable young women of Paris.Strangely enough， Word War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simple elegance from hats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war，she took the opportunity to show that less can truly be more， introducing turtle-neck (叠领) sweater and pants for women.In 1923， Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who does not wear perfume has no future!" she said， and women believed her. Since its first appearance， ChanelNO.5 has been the world's most popular perfume， with another bottle being sold every 30 seconds. And Coco herself inspired generations of women designers and businesswomen to pursue their dreams.11.

Coco Chanel's success story tells us that ▲ .A. becoming rich is not so difficultB. women are more likely to succeedC. people can pursue their dreamsD. the poor are more likely to succeedPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are base on the following passage.Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably al had lectures telling that laziness is immoral， that it is wasteful， and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that， and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with" easier" work on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking， they are simply putting of their work.Laziness， however， can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking， planning and researching. We should al remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. Al of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car we buy， particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes， being "lazy" - that is， taking time of for a rest一is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himselfovertime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to cal someone lazy. That person may be thinking， resting， or planning his or her next work.16.
