Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C andD. (20%)Passage 1As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society hasbeen shifting from curing disease to preventing disease –especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beersat home most nights but does not drive while drunk , and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “ not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been ca lled “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be "well," in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for.People who are well are likely to be better able to resistdisease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.1. Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.A. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB. monitoring patients’ body functionsC. removing people’s bad living habitsD. ensuring people’s psychological well-being2. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.A. good health is more than not being illB. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulC. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitD. prevention is more difficult than cure3. Traditionally, a person is considered "well" if he ________.A. does not have any unhealthy living habitsB. does not have any physical handicapsC. is able to handle his daily routinesD. is free from any kind of disease4. According to the author, the true meaning of "wellness" is for people ________.A. to best satisfy their body’s spec ial needsB. to strive to maintain the best possible healthC. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthD. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure5. According to what the author advocates, which of thefollowing groups of people would be considered healthy?A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.B. People who are not presently experiencing anysymptoms of disease.C. People who try to be as possible, regardless oftheir limitations.D. People who can recover from illness even withoutseeking medical care.Passage 2Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women st ill can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the WhiteHouse—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a lon g way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.6. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination forthe author?A) She serves as a role model for African women.B) She possesses many admirable qualities becominga First Lady.C) She will present to the world a new image ofAfrican-American women.D) She will pay closer attention to the interests ofAfrican-American women.7. What is the common stereotype of African-Americanwomen according to the author?A) They are victims of violence.B) They are of an inferior violence.C) They use quite a lot of body language.D) They live on charity and social welfare.8. What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?A) Whether Michelle can live up to the highexpectations of her fans.B) How Michelle should behave as a public figure.C) How proud they are to have a black woman in theWhite House.D) What Michelle should do as wife and mother in theWhite House.9. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as aFirst Lady?A) However many fans she has, she should remainmodest,B) She shouldn’t disappoint the African-Americancommunity.C) However hard she trie s, she can’t expect toplease everybody.D) She will give priority to African-Americanwomen’s concerns.10. What do many African-American women hope MichelleObama will do?A) Help change the prevailing view about black women.B) Help her husband in the task of changing America.C) Outshine previous First Lady.D) Fully display her fine qualities.VI. Fill in each blank of the passage with ONE suitable word. (10%)More than one million children in the United States do not go to school. 1 , they learn at home. They are 2 by adults, like tutors (家庭教师).Most often, their parents are their teachers.

2012级大学英语第一学期期末考试
2012级大学英语第一学期期末考试无听力Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the 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 to be 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 o ther 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 requires slow and patient workD) 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 time for 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) 36 B) 12 C) 20 D) 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 probably because_________.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 b egan 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 n ervousness 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 during examinations 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 univers ity 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 IIIV ocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Let’s look at this 66______ in more detail, because it is language, more than anything else, 67_____ distinguishes man from the rest of the 68_____ world. Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 69_____ of cries: for example, many birds utter (发声) 70_____calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 71_____ cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 72_____ these various means of communication differ in important ways 73_____ human language.

They lack the kind of structure that 75_____ us to divide a human utterance (发声) into 76_____. We can change an utterance by 77_____ one word in it with 78_____: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks appro aching from the north”, 79_____ who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “ta nks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 80_____ means “danger!” This is why the number of 81_____ that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case 82_____ point; it has about twenty different calls, 83_____ in human language the number of possible utterances is 84_____.

Then there are some questions or uncompleted statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should dec ide on the best choices and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Lillian was a young French Canadian girl who grew up on a farm in Ontario. When she was 16, her father thought “Lill” had had enough schooling, and she was forced to drop out of school. In 1922, with English as her second language and limited education and skills, the future didn’t look bright for Lill.Her father was a strict man who seldom took no for an answer and never accepted excuses. He demanded that Lill find a job. But her limitations left her with little confidence, and she didn’t know what work she could do.With small hope of gaining employment, she would still ride the bus daily into the “big cities” of Windsor or Detroit. But she couldn’t muster the courage to respond to a Help Wanted ad; she couldn’t even bring herself to knock on a door. Each day she would just ride to the city, walk aimlessly about and at dusk return home. Her father would ask, “Any luck today, Lill?”“No… no luck today, Dad,” she would respond mildly.As the days passed, Lill continued to ride and her father continued to ask about her job-hunting. The questions became more demanding, and Lill knew she would soon have to knock on a door.On one of her trips, Lill saw a sign at the Carhartt Overall Company in downtown Detroit. “HELP WANTED,” the sigh said, “SECRETARIAL. APPLY WITHIN.”She walked up the long flight of stairs to the Carhartt Company offices. Cautiously, Lill knocked on her very first door. She was met by the office manager, Margaret Costello. In herbroken English, Lill told her she was interested in the secretarial position, falsely stating that she was 19. Margaret knew something wasn’t right, but decided to give the girl a chance.She guided Lill through the old business office of the Carhartt Company. With rows and rows of people seated at rows and rows of typewriters, Lill felt as if a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at her. With her eyes staring down, the farm girl followed Margaret to the back of the room. Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, “Lill, let’s see how good you really are.”She asked Lill to type a single letter, and then left. Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:40 A.M. Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon. She thought that she could slip away in the crowd then. But she knew she should at least attempt the letter.On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words, and she made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now read 11:45. “At noon,” she said to herself, “I’ll move out with the crowd, and they will never see me again.”On her second attempt, Lill got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again she pulled out the paper, threw it out and started over. This time she completed the letter, but her work was still full of mistakes. She looked at the clock: 11:55---five minutes to freedom.Just then, the door at one end of the office opened and Margaret walked in. She came directly over to Lill, putting one hand on the desk and the other on the girl’s shoulder. She read the letter and paused. Then she said, “Lill, you’re doing good work!”Lill was stunned. She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret. With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape vanished and her confidence began to grow. She thought, “Well, if she thinks it’s good, then it must be good. I think I’ll stay!”Lill did stay at Carhartt Overall Company…for 51 years, through two world wars and a Depression, through 11 presidents and six prime ministers--- all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of self-confidence when she knocked on the door.21. Lill dropped out of school at age 16 because .A. she had had enough schoolingB. she had limited leaning skillsC. her father wanted her to do soD. the future didn’t look bright22. As Lill rode to the city, she was almost sure that she couldn’t .A. find a jobB. see any job adsC. like that city lifeD. be accepted by the citizens23. When Lill knocked at the door of Carhartt Overall Company, it was mainly because .A. she was good at secretarial workB. it was the first Help Wanted sign she sawC. the company was located in the downtown areaD. her father pushed her harder on job-hunting24.

Confidence is the key to career success.C. Opportunity is critical in job-hunting.D.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneSome desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example, can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9 ℃without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it breathes. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a typical summer’s day, most of them are active only in the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; nearly all find some dark and cool place where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.For many species of insects, living in the desert is easier than for animals. Like many desert plants, they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high temperature. In addition, some species spend all or most of their life below ground. Here, for most of the year at least, there is some moisture, and it is generally cooler than on the surface. In the case of ants, only adults leave the underground nests, and they do so only to gather food or to defend the nest against attack.26. Compared with other desert animals, the camel can bear .A. a very low body temperatureB. only a little change in body temperatureC. a big increase in body temperatureD. a constant change in body temperature27. The kangaroo rat is different from other animals in that .A. it can produce water through breathingB. it can store water in parts of its bodyC. it can maintain different body temperatureD. it can drink a lot of water at a time28. Why is the desert full of activity in summer nights?A. Because it is cooler and safer for most animals.B. Because animals can find food in the dark.C. Because it is easy to find water at night.D. Because animals cannot sleep at night.29. Why is it easy for many species of insects to live in the desert?A. Because it is not difficult for them to survive there.B. Because they are not afraid of the heat.C. Because it is not difficult for them to find food there.D. Because they have a waterproof skin.30. Most insects live below the ground because .A. it is easy for them to build nests thereB. it is easy to find water thereC. it is cooler there than on the surfaceD. it is easier to defend their nestsPassage twoCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.31. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When they don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.32. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.33. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes34. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.35. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made Americans independent.Passage threeEver since I was very small, I’ve had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing I was on board. I remember going to the airportwith my parents when I was 13 and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London.But the train passed by and planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to V ictorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of tsar with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my town. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child--- on airplanes and in trains. And the irony is that I don’t care for it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.36. What did the writer do as a curious child?A. She visited V ictorian England and Tsarist Russia.B. She flew to Los Angeles, Chicago and London with her parents.C. She read all kinds of books.D. She spent lots of time traveling on trains.37. How does the author feel about travel today?A. She doesn’t like it very much.B. She takes great pleasure in it.C. She feels tired of it.D. She feels as excited as when she was young.38. What did the author learn from books as a child?A. About many foreign places.B. About many historical figures.C. About the outside world as well as her own self.D. About the ironies of life.39. We can infer from the passage that when traveling by air, the author spends most of her timeon the way .A. reading booksB. resting herselfC. imagining thingsD. letting her spirit soar40. In this passage the author mainly talks about .A. the wonders of travelB. her growth from an innocent child to a learned womanC. the benefits of readingD. the difference between childhood dreams and life’s realitiesPassage fourBefore World War II, the labor force in the United States was made up almost entirely of man. Those Women who did have jobs were, as a rule, single and usually worked in schools,business or small factories, particularly in the garment industry. It was only the exceptional married women who worked. Those who did work generally owned their businesses such as a dress shop or a restaurant. They also may have helped their husband in their businesses.Since World War II, the entrance of both married and single woman in the working world has continued to increase. Today, not only are there more single women available for the labor market, but there are also large numbers of married women, many of whom have children.One of the primary reasons why there’s a noticeable increase in the number of employed woman is that more women, both single and married, have become aware of the need for personal self-fulfillment. Of course, other factors have also contributed to the increase in the number of working women. Some of these include a change in the education among many women, who are entering very specialized fields such as medicine, law and computer science. Modern appliances have also reduced the amount of housework and a demand for expensive goods has increased the necessity for a “second outcome”.41. Before the Second World War the labor force was made up .A. mostly of menB. only of menC. of single womenD. of women42. Women with jobs were generally .A. marriedB. singleC. oldD. young43.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you 86wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the 87that make one face different from another. Y et a very young child--- 88an animal, such as a pigeon---can learn to recognize faces. We all 89this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean 90in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks, and feels that 91an individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than 92his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face”looked like, you 93have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, 94 , friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Gordon Allport, a U.S. psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a 95for describing, or typing, a personality. Hippies, bookworms, conservatives, military types---people are described with such terms.86.

But in the developing countries, especially the countries in Africa, a lack of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children. The World Health Organization reports that the lack of vitamin A leads to as many as two hundred fifty thousand child deaths every year.Sweet potatoes with orange flesh have high levels of vitamin A. Experts say orange sweet potatoes could help solve the lack of vitamin A in Africa. But, first, more people there will need to be persuaded to eat them. Jan Low with the International Potato Center, a research organization, says the sweet potato needs a better imagein Africa. She said, "We do have an image problem with sweet potatoin general in Africa. Most of the local people refuse to grow sweet potatoes. It is seen as a food of the poor." Ms. Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case other crops fail.The sweet **monly grown in Africa have white or yellow flesh. But, more importantly, they are low in vitamin A. Thus, Jan Low and her partners managed to tell the African people that orange sweet potatoes had high levels of Vitamin A. They made use of the radio to spread the message that orange sweet potato is good to human health. They said that orange sweet potatoes were able to help you fight diseases, make you strong, clear your skin and make you look healthy.In areas without radio, in they spread the message through singing, dancing and storytelling in local theaters. And everywhere they went, they wore orange T-shirts and hats. They even drove orange vehicles. Jan Low says the color of the tuber(植物的块茎) made it easier to gain public attention.Dan Gustafson works for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. He pays attention to efforts in the past to increase the popularity of other nutritious crops. He says most of these efforts failed because organizers did not consider what people wanted to eat. But Mr. Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa. For one thing, except for the color, the orange sweet potato is similar to what people already use. He is confident about the popularity oforange sweet potato in Africa and the improvement of people's health condition there.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN1.There is an image problem with sweet potatoes in Africa because______.• A. they are very ugly in shape and color• B. they are difficult to grow• C. they are regarded as the food of the poor• D. they do great harm to the landA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN2.What is true of sweet potatoes in Africa? ______• A.

They sang and danced with local people.• B. They drove vehicles in different colors.• C. They dressed themselves in orange.• D. They gave lectures in theaters.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN4.According to Mr. Gustafson, some efforts to introduce other nutritious crops to Africa failed because ______.• A. people don't like them• B. people cannot afford them• C. they don't taste delicious• D. they have strange colorsA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN5.What is the passage mainly about? ______• A. The different functions of vitamin Ａ.• B. The introduction of nutritious.• C. The history of growing potatoes in Africa.• D. The most popular food in Africa.A B C DPassage 2"Sleep is a behavior and, like all behaviors, it differs greatly among people," explains Dr. Carol Landis. "The greatest differences occur in the timing of sleep and the amount of sleep—the factors which are most important in determining whether you will wake up feeling rested."Research has found that people sleep better at different times during their daily cycle. For example, some people function better if they go to sleep early and rise early, while others feel more rested if they stay up late and sleep in. "Many people don't pay attention to the timing of their sleep," Landis notes. "Yet delaying oraltering the time you go to sleep can have a major impact on how you feel when you wake up."The amount of sleep the average adult needs each night also differs. Some people may be fine with six hours of sleep, while others need up to nine hours per night. Landis points out that those who follow a regular sleep schedule tend to function better on fewer hours, but she adds that most adults need at least six hours of sleep each night."A person's sleeping patterns aren't set in concrete," Landis stresses. Gradually altering the timing of sleep can help change sleep patterns. An "evening person" who needs to get to work early in the morning can try upping the time they go to bed by 30 minutes every few days. Within a few weeks, this slow adjustment will help "reset" the body clock.In addition to maintaining a regular daily sleep schedule, Landis offers the following tips on having a good sleep:·Avoid cigarettes, caffeinated(含咖啡因的) drinks and food such as chocolate in the late afternoon and evening.·Avoid alcohol in the evening. This can cause a person to wake up a few hours into sleep and interrupt sleep patterns.·Finish exercising at least two hours bef ore going to sleep. Exercise increases body temperatures and makes it more difficult toeasily fall asleep.·Don't sleep in a warm environment. A drop in a person's body temperature is important at the beginning of deep sleep. People who sleep in a well-heated room or use an electric blanket may not sleep as soundly.·Catch up on missed sleep when you have the opportunity. To reduce your sleep debt, try taking a 30-minute nap(小睡) during the day before 4 p. m. or sleeping in on weekends when you have a chance.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN1.Which of the following is true according to Dr. Landis? ______• A. People with longer sleep feel more rested.• B. People tend to have similar sleep schedules.• C. Changing sleep habits won't affect people's body clock.• D. Changing the time for sleep can affect the quality of people's sleep.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN2.The underlined phrase "set in concrete"(Line 1, Paragraph 4) probably means ______.• A. unchangeable• B. unacceptable• C. recognizable• D. reasonableA B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN3.What does Dr. Landis think may result in a wake-up during night sleep? ______• A. Taking chocolates before bedtime.• B. Drinking alcohol before sleep.• C. Exercising before going to bed.• D. Using electric blankets.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN4.According to the passage, what may keep people from having a good sleep? ______• A. Smoking in the evening.• B. Sleeping in a cool room.• C. Taking a nap during the day.• D. Sleeping in on weekends.A B C DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN5.This passage is mainly about ______.• A. how to change one's sleep pattern• B. what to do before going to bed• C. what to do with sleeplessness• D. how to get a good night's sleepA B C D第二部分非选择题Ⅲ.用国际音标标出下列单词中划线字母或字母组合的读音1.project / /SSS_FILL2.oxygen / /SSS_FILL3.avenue / /SSS_FILL4.various / /SSS_FILL5.dishonest / /SSS_FILL6.productive / /SSS_FILL7.wild / /SSS_FILL8.surely / /SSS_FILL9.paragraph / /SSS_FILL10.courtesy / /SSS_FILL11.creature / /SSS_FILL12.wretched / /SSS_FILL13.route / /SSS_FILL 14.attach / /SSS_FILL15.suspicious / /SSS_FILL16.behave / /SSS_FILL17.pharmacy / /SSS_FILL18.scholar / /SSS_FILL19.fascinate / /SSS_FILL20.enjoy / /SSS_FILLⅣ.完形填空Aas spent divided taught that over courses another are it elementary usuallyEducation is one of the biggest and most important jobs of governments in the United States.

本科《综合英语》期末考试试卷及答案
《综合英语》考试试卷（A卷、闭卷）Part I Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) （每小题3分，共15分）Passage OneSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent. The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability torun away from attackers.1.The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us .A) the differences between robots and menB) the reason why men need to sleepC) about the need for robots to save powerD) about the danger of men working at night2.Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him _______.A) maintain a regular pattern of lifeB) prevent trouble that comes looking for himC) avoid danger and inefficient laborD) restore his bodily functions3. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ______.A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworkedC) are in a tent D) are away from home4. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ______.A)need more time for restorationB) are unlikely to be attackersC) are more active than horses when they are awakeD) spend less time eating to get enough energy5.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?.A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.Part II Vocabulary & Structure 词汇和结构（每小题2分，共30分）meeting’s been canceled.

Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 4 of cries: for example, many birds utter 5 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 6 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 7 these various means of communication differ in important ways 8 human language.For instance, animals’ cries do not 9 thoughts and feelings clearly.

Reading Comprehension (20×2)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Some people do not like anything to be out of place. They are never late for work. They return their books to the library on time. They remember people’s birthdays, a nd they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Rock is such a person.Mr. Rock works in a bank, and lives on his own. The only family he has is in the next town. His sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Rock does not see his sister or her family every year, but he sends them Christmas cards and he has not forgotten one of Mark’s seventeen birthdays.Last week Mr. Rock had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast. He parked his car where he always parks it, out of the way of other cars, and went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Rock opened the door only to find a policeman on the door step.“Have I done anything wrong?”Mr. Rock asked himself. “Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?”“Hello, uncle,” said the policeman. “My name is Mark. I am your nephew.”1. Mr. Rock is a person who does all the following except _______.A.putting things in orderB.going to work earlyC.visiting friends regularlyD.paying the bills in time2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Mr. Rock lives by himself.B. Mr. Rock’s sister has a family.C. Mr. Rock’s sister lives not very far away.D. Mr. Rock visits his sister quite often.3. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.H e drove very fast.B.He made his meal after he got into the house.C.He drove very slowly.D.H e parked his car at a wrong place.4. Mr. Rock was surprised to see the policeman because ________.A.s omething was wrong in the bankB.he did not know what to sayC.he did not do anything wrongD.t he policeman wanted to ask him a question5. From the story we can infer that ______.A.M r. Rock had not seen his nephew for a long timeB.Mr. Rock did not like to see the young manC.Mr. Rock was a shy personD.M ark came to visit his uncle regularlyPassage 2If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it,basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States today. It is mainly an indoor game, and the season extends from late autumn, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams; but for the most part, basketball is a school sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team.In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather, you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of that land, and the activities of the professional teams are a subject of conversation for Americanseverywhere.In autumn, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in seeing any sense in it. But for most people the game itself is not so important as the music and the cheering that go with it. On a cool bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.6. Basketball is probably the most popular sport in America today because_____________.A. it is an indoor gameB. it is a school gameC. most people like to play or watch the gameD. there are many professional teams7. The passage shows that in America___________________.A. almost all the high schools and colleges have their basketball teamsB. every high school doesn’t have its own basketball teamC. no college has its own basketball teamD. some high schools and colleges have their basketball teams8. In spring and summer, you can see young people playing baseball____________.A. in some parts of AmericaB. in a few states of AmericaC. in some schools of AmericaD. everywhere in America9. During the warm weather, Americans often talk about_______________.A. the activities of the professional baseball teamsB. the radio and televisionC. the details of the football matchesD. the details of the big games10. From the passage we know that American football is_______________.A. similar to that in other parts of the worldB. different from that in other parts of the worldC. not so popular as that in other parts of the worldD. as popular as that in other parts of the worldPassage 3A great deal of nonsense is written about the character of a nation, chiefly because many observers, influenced by national pride and prejudices feel irresistibly tempted （诱惑）to generalize（概括）about everything. In a nation of many millions of people, there are bound to be many different kinds: rich and poor, clever and stupid, good and bad, modest and conceited （自满的）, patient and impatient, honest anddishonest. Moreover, a nation may develop a sort of collective character in its politics and literature, which is not recognizable in individual people. Generalizations, therefore, tend to be unrealistic, and should be made, and accepted, with caution. One word of warning is necessary. The British people who take up appointments in Asia and Africa are not fully typical of their nation. For one thing, they are usually specialists in one field or another. The average British person is not a specialist, and although he can read and write he is not particularly cultured in the intellectual sense. “Highbrow” is a word very often used by the common people of Britain to describe and condemn any form of intellectual culture.Moreover, the great technical achievements of Europeans do not mean that a European is basically more intelligent than an African or Asian. The achievements are due to the handing down and sharing of knowledge and to organized training and research rather than to mental superiority; and of course, the mere possession of, say, a motor-car or washing machine and the ability to operate it, does not require any understanding of how it works.11. To know the character of a nation, one should _______.A.o bserve the behavior of the leadersB.read the literature of the nationC.never accept any generalizationsD.f orm a sound judgement of everything12. One reason for the difference between the British people working abroad and theaverage person at home is that the former ________.A.a re more intellectually culturedB.have made many foreign friendsC.work much harderD.h old important positions13. According to the author, ______.A.E uropeans are more intelligent than Africans and AsiansB.there is no such a thing as mental superiorityC.Europeans should share their knowledge with Africans and AsiansD.m ental superiority is vital to the scientific progress in Europe14. This passage is written ______.A.t o warn the readers against misunderstanding the British peopleB.to make a brief introduction to different social classes in BritainC.to criticize the nonsense written about BritainD.t o describe the people’s living conditions in Britain15. What does the author imply by writing the last sentence of the passage?A.K nowing how to operate a motor-car or washing machine means a highmental intelligence.B.The technical achievements of Europeans are due to their intelligence.C.Only knowing how to operate some household appliances does not reallymean that they are of real intelligence.D.E uropeans are more intelligent than Africans and Asians because they are ofmental superiority.Passage 4When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. Andlater they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogwould not eat what was caught without permission.But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.16.According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _______ .A.f or protection against robberyB.just for funC.for companionshipD.f or protection against other animals17.The word “companionship” may mean _______.A.w orshipB.treasureC.friendly relationshipD.p artnership18.The dogs were used for hunting because ________ .A.t hey were good huntersB.they obeyed their mastersC.they were useful for protectionD.t hey did not eat other animals19.The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is _______.A.t hey need companionB.they like childrenC.they enjoy huntingD.t hey want to protect themselves20.We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.A.d ogs can be helpful to those who need companyB.city people always feel lonelyC.dogs can be interestingD.t he city can be a very dangerous placePassage 5As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusualdifficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make choices between “ flight” and “fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we can not remove stress from our life (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.21. We are fast losing the art of relaxation because_______.A.t he pace of life is increasingB.we are rushing through our lifeC.we are on the go from morning till nightD.a ll of the above22. According to the writer, the most important character fora manager is _______.A.t o know the art of relaxationB.not to fear stressC.to provide motivation for othersD.t o enjoy good health23. As far as the amount of stress is concerned, _______.A.d ifferent people can withstand different amount of stressB.different people can withstand the same amount of stressC.a man can withstand different amount of stress at different timeD.a man can withstand the same amount of stress at different time24. The phrase “such a reaction” refers to _______.A.t he “fight”B.the “ flight”C.the reaction to high blood pressure and heart diseasesD.t he reaction to stress both chemically and physically25. The a uthor’s idea about stress is possibly ______.A.t o completely remove it from our livesB.to have stronger stress that lasts longerC.to find proper ways to deal with itD.t o be always exposed to huge stressPassage 6No other author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and became a riverboat pilot when he was 21 years old. So he adopted the pen name of “Mark Twain”, which was derived from a phr ase meaning “two fathoms deep” used by the boatmen on the Mississippi as they measured the depth of the river. The river environment inspired the two novels which brought him his greatest fame: “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn”. Another book, “Life on th e Mississippi”, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started. At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story,“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaberas County” was a n immediate success and his new career began. “A Million Pond Note” written in 1893 was another well-known short story.In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. According to his biographers, his wife had a great influence on Twain’s laterbooks.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on a variety of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.“Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his era. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was 74 years old.26. Samuel Langhorne Clemens adopted the pen name of “Mark Twain”__________.A. when he was 21 years oldB. after he wrote the novel “Life on the Mississippi”C. from a phrase used by the boatmen on the MississippiD. because the boatmen called him “Mark Twain” when he worked as a riverboat pilot27. Mark Twain’s career as a writer began when______________.A. he wrote “A Million Pound Note”B. he was working on the MississippiC. the Civil War broke outD. he was working as a newspaper man28. According to the passage, which of the following books was most probably written under the influence of Olivia Langdon?A. “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaberas County”B. “A Million Pound Note”C. “Life on the Mississippi”D. “Tom Sawyer”29.

The wood belonged to Lord Northwood, a rich gentleman, and Pat had no right to go there, but in it there were swarms of rabbits and flocks of birds that were good to eat, and Pat determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood’s face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat’s hands. Pat’s heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly up to the company and said to Lord Northwood, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” Lord Northwood, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite for their breakfast. Then, looking at Pat with suspicion, he said, “But why are you out so early in the morning?” “Well, sir,” said P at, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat’s readywit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.31. This is a story about _____________.A. a rich man who owned a big woodB. a poor Irishman who lived all by himselfC. a clever man who tried to get something to eat for his breakfastD. an Irish hunter with a large family32.

It was because of his _________ that Pat was left to try his luck.A. boldnessB. calmnessC. obedience (服从, 顺从)D. quickness of mindPassage 8We are all part of history. Our ways of living today will seem strange to our grandchildren. Our clothes, our automobiles, even our kinds of food, will seem very queer to them. “How strange life must have been back in those days!” our grandchildren will say to us.Changes in way of living are an important part of history. Our ancestors lived very differently from the way we live now. And their ancestors seemed strange to them too.History is the story of whatever happened to people before today. Some events were thrilling, and some were sad. Men have been very cruel in wars and revolutions. On the other hand, many men have worked for peace and freedom.Discoveries of new lands have played an important part in history. How interesting those stories of discoveries are! It is fun, too, to read about inventions and the ways in which they have changed people’s lives. Discoveries in science and medicine have made great changes, too.History is the story of presidents and kings, of heroes and villains. It is the story of ordinary people, too. History is everybody’s story!36.We are part of history because ______.A.we are living in the 20th centuryB.we have many grand childrenC.we have strange thingsD.we have a different way of life37.All the following queer things are mentioned in the passage except______.A.clothesB.housingC.automobilesD.foods38.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Our way of life is much the same as our ancestor’s.B.New discoveries have brought about changes.C.Discoveries have played an important part in history.D.History tells us what happened in the past.39.The passage suggests that ______.A.man is always goodB.the changes make people inventC.man enjoys learning about historyD.we do the same as our ancestors40.History is the story about ______.A.ordinary peopleB.heroes and villainsC.kings and presidentsD.all of the abovePassage 9Many people think New York is a noisy city. The noise level comes from having so many people and cars in the same area. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you are get into a taxi, you hear voices saying things such as buckling your seat belt, “ Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.”, and so on.There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12 000 cabs in New Y ork, and every year taxis get into more than 15 000 accidents. Every year, about 11 ,000 people get injured in this way.Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours aday. I hear the sam e voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy,” says Amir, a 45-year-old cabdriver. “But if I don’t play the messages, I get fined $100.” A lot of passengers complain, too. “It’s too much noise,” says a passenger. “I asked the driver to turn off the messages,but he said he can’t.”Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says, “People l ike to hear the famous voices, and they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time, ta xi drivers are in a bad mood,” says Melanie Benton, who visits New York often on business. “It’s nice t o hear a cheerful voice when you get intoa cab.”41.New Y ork is, the passage says, a noisy city because ________.A.New Y ork has so many people in the cityB.people and scientists say soC.there are so many cars in New YorkD.both A and C42.Even the insides of New York taxis are noisy, for ________.A.inside a taxi, you hear loud voices telling messages all the timeB.many people are annoyed by the useful messages heard in the taxiC.taxi drivers are crazy with the noiseD.taxi drivers will get fined if they play the messages43.According to the passage, the good reason for the messages played inside a taxi is________.A.the drivers can’t turn off the voicesB.the messages can help passengers to avoid trafficaccidentsC.many people dislike the messagesD.many drivers like playing them44.From the passage, we may conclude that the author ________.A.hates the messages played inside the taxisB.doesn’t offer any suggestions to solve the proble mC.thinks that taxi drivers should always be happy with the noiseD.is not annoyed by the voices inside the taxis45.The title for the passage might be ________.A.Noise in New Y ork TaxisB.Messages Are GoodC.Drivers and V oicesD.Avoiding Traffic AccidentsPassage 10I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains---- to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains, only victims.They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money.
