Choosing an OccupationPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes) Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked［A］,［B］,［C］and ［D］. For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Will We Run Out of Water?Picture a “ghost ship” sinking into the sand, left to rot on dry land by a receding sea. Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, it’s all too real. Thirty years ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate(provide water for)farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large-scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the nextcentury.“Growing populations will worsen problems with water,” says Peter H. Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California. Hefears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.Where Water GoesOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two-thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps.In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation(rain or snow).Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live.In fact, the world’s population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater—about the amount of water in Lake Superior. And people use half of this amount already. “If water demand continues to climb rapidly,” says Postel, “t here will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment.”Close to HomeWater woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground.)Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel.Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium, a microbe that causes fever, diarrhea and vomiting.The SourceWhere do contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 millionpeople a year get sick from water borne diseases.In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.)But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain; all of these contain hazardous chemicals. Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste.Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but that pollute water as well. Farmers also use nitrates, nitrogen-rich fertilizer that help plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas. Too many nitrates “over enrich” these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water.What’s the Solution?Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water-related problems; governments, for instance, would be better off building small-scale dams rather than huge and disruptive projects like the one that ruined the Aral Sea. “More than 1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to basic clean drinking water,” says Gleick. “There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone—governments and ordinary people—to make sure we have a resource so fundamental to life.”1.What caused the Aral Sea to shrink?［A］The rivers flowing into it have been diverted.［B］Farmers used its water to irrigate their farmland.［C］Government planners over-pumped its water.［D］High temperature made its water badly evaporate.2.The construction of massive dams and irrigation projects .［A］does more good than harm［B］solves more problems than what they created［C］does more harm than good［D］brings more water to people than expected3.The chief causes of water shortage include .［A］population growth and water waste［B］water pollution and dry weather［C］water waste and pollution［D］population growth and water pollution4.Americans could suffer from greatly serious water shortages?［A］living in rich areas［B］living in big cities but poor condition［C］depending on groundwater［D］bearing high standards of safe drinking water in mind5.What is the main pollutant in developed countries?［A］Untreated toxic chemicals from manufacturers.［B］Raw sewage into rivers and streams.［C］Herbicides and pesticides used by farmers.［D］Household cleaners poured down the drain.6.How does algae make threats to life of a body of water?［A］By covering the whole surface of the water.［B］By competitively using oxygen life in water needs.［C］By living more rapidly than other life in water .［D］By releasing hazardous chemicals into water.7.According to Gleick, who should be responsible for solving water-related problems?［A］government and housewives.［B］farmers and manufacturers.［C］ordinary people and manufacturers.［D］government and every person.8. According to Peter H. Gleick, by the year 2025, as many as of the world’s people will suffer from water shortages.9.Two thirds of the freshwater on Earth is locked in.10.In developed countries, before toxic chemicals are released into rivers and lakes, they should be treated in order to avoid.Part III Listening Comprehension(35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Early in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street was always the 47 of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many48 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered49 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to50 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking placeswere51 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car drivingcustomers52 . And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls,53 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. Attracted by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 54areas to outlying malls. And the growing55of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 56 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.［A］designed ［F］convenience ［K］cosmetics［B］take ［G］services ［L］started［C］heart ［H］fame ［M］downtown［D］needed ［I］various ［N］available ［C］though ［H］popularity ［M］cheapnessSection BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture—one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald’s. In some cases, globalizationis a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptanceor rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness. Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.57.According to the passage, which of the following is true?［A］All international managers can learn culture.［B］Business diversity is not necessary.［C］Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.［D］Most people do not know foreign culture well.58.According to the author, the model of Pepsi.［A］is in line with the theories that the business is business the world around ［B］is different from the model of McDonald’s［C］shows the reverse of globalization［D］has converged cultural differences59.The two schools of thought.［A］both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures［B］both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries ［C］admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world［D］both A and B60.This article is supposed to be most useful for those.［A］who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity［B］who have connections to more than one type of culture［C］who want to travel abroad［D］who want to run business on International Scale61.According to Fortune, successful international companies.［A］earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas［B］all have the quality of patience［C］will follow the overseas local cultures［D］adopt the policy of internationalizationPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speedof the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chorus and responses.62.The passage is mainly concerned with .［A］the different tastes of people for sports［B］the different characteristics of sports［C］the attraction of football［D］the attraction of baseball63.Those who don’t like baseball may complain that. ［A］it is only to the taste of the old［B］it involves fewer players than football［C］it is not exciting enough［D］it is pretentious and looks funny64.The author admits that.［A］baseball is too peaceful for the young［B］baseball may seem boring when watched on TV［C］football is more attracting than baseball［D］baseball is more interesting than football65.By stating “I could have had my eyes closed.” the author means (4th paragraph last sentence).［A］the third baseman would rather sleep than play the game［B］even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no difference to the result［C］the third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well［D］the consequence was so bad that he could not bear to see it66.We can safely conclude that the author.［A］likes football［B］hates football［C］hates baseball［D］likes baseballPart Ⅴ Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

Newspapers have one basic70 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to71 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 72inventions brought competition for newspapers.

In one 21 there are as many different kinds of English as there are speakers of it. None of the two speakers speak in exactly the same 22 . We can always hear differences between them, and the pronunciation of English 23 a great deal in different geographical areas. How do we decide what sort ofEnglish to use as a 24 ? This is not a question that can be answered in the same way for all foreign learners of English. 25 you live in a part of the world like India or West Africa, where there is a long 26 of speaking English for general communication purpose, you should aim to acquire a good variety of the pronunciation of this area.

(2 points for each, altogether 30points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Penguins (企鹅)live together in large and busy colonies. Every pair has a little piece of ground. When a penguin wants to walk through his neighbor’s ground he must ask permission. If he does not ，he will have to fight.Penguins come and go all day. They fight ，fish and look after their children. All penguins are good parents--the Emperor penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic winter. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them ——not see them. Then the females lay their eggs and go away for two months. The males look after the eggs. They hold them on their feet inside a fold of skin. If the eggs get cold there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls. The wind blows--sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters--the eggs. Emperor penguins never fight--unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it.They are strange and wonderful birds. 31. Each pair of penguins lives together with_______. [A] their parents[B]some good neighbors [C]many other penguins [D] their chicks32. According to the passage ，Emperor penguins fight against each other for______. [A] a piece of ground [B]a female [C]an egg[D] a chick left alone by its parents 33. What is very important is______. [A] female penguins [B] male penguins [C]eggs[D] a piece of ground34、Penguins are strange and wonderful birds because_______. [A] they only care about their children [B] the females do not look after their eggs[C] the males eat nothing while holding their eggs inside their warm fold of skin [D] all of the above.35、This passage mainly tells readers something_______. [A] strange about the best parents in the world [B]wonderful about Emperor penguins [C]interesting about penguins' life.[A] Because [B] When [C] If[D] Whether [A]custom [B] use [C] tradition [D] habit[A] fashion [B] mistake [C] nonsense [D] possibility [A] where [B] that[C] which [D] wherever [A] practical [B] domestic [C] native [D] new [A] effective [B] sensitive [C] ordinary [D] careful[D] funny about the fight between the male penguinsPassage 2Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents（专利）on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931，Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observes a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes，streets，and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A Blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edison's funeral，many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his country people's fingertips.36.People decided to honor Edison when______.[A] he made the first electric light[B] electric power was 100 years old[C] the country realized electricity's importance[D] he died in 193137. The suggested plan was to_______.[A] turn off the lights in factories and schools[B] observe a few minutes of total silence[C] dim all electric lights[D] shut off all electricity for a short time38. Americans fully realized what Edison's inventions meant when they_______.[A] heard of his death[B] heard of the plan to honor him[C] first used electric power[D] tried to carry out the plan39. The plan was never carried out because_______.[A] not everyone wanted to honor Edison[B] it was too difficult[C] electric power was too important to the country[D] it honored only one of Edison's inventions40. This passage was probably written to______.[A] tell about Edison's inventions[B] explain electricity[C] prove that people wished to honor Edison[D] show what a great man Edison wasPassage 3Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your ownperson and，at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.41. The passage mainly talks about_______.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people42. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，“them”refers to_______.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice43.“being your own person”in the last sentence most probably means_______.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence44. The second paragraph focuses on_______.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers45. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts?[A] teacher[B] father[C] mother[D] friends and contemporariesIV. Translation. (2 points for each, altogether 10points)Directions:There are five sentences followed by the translated versions in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right translation for each sentence. Write your answers on the answer sheet.46. 艾米过去除了咖啡，什么都不喝。

These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body.For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company changes a percentage of that amount in interest.

大学英语(A)模拟试卷(附参考答案)
大学英语（A）模拟试卷（附参考答案）Information for the Examinees:This examination consists of FOUR parts. They are:Section I: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar (30 points, 25 minutes)Section III: Translation (20 points, 10 minutes)Section IV: Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total score for this examination is 100. The time allowed for this examination is 90 minutes.Section I: Reading Comprehension [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take approximately 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO sections in this part.Part 1: Questions 1-5 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may bewalking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces ofnature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.1. Mountaineering involves ______.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above2. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of ______.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants3. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on others while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team4. Mountaineers compete against ______.A. natureB. each otherC. other teamsD. international standards5. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?______.A. Mountaineering is different from golf and footballB. Mountaineering is more attractive than other sportsC. MountaineeringD. Mountain climbersPart 2: Questions 6- 10 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are alreadyrunning away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax would be charged. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean energy, so coal would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion iscertain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.6. According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.A. to encourage people to use renewable energiesB. to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organismsC. to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of powerD. to talk less but act more7. The standard of paying tax was _________.A. that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would payB. that oil would be more expensive than clean coalC. that renewables would be most expensive of allD. in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest8. We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.A. may not be as effective as people expectB. has encouraged renewable producers to cut costsC. has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfullyD. couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden9. The underlined word "crippling" (Para. 3) most probably means _________.A. greatly increasingB. seriously weakeningC. sharply decliningD. abruptly halting10. The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.A. governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious resultB. if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow itC. governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new taxD. governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they didn’t believe it themselves.Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO parts in this section.Part 1: Questions 11- 20 are based on this section.

大学英语四级试卷模拟一试卷答案对照版
大学英语四级试卷模拟一试卷答案对照版Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing.A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese(肥胖)people have a keener sense of taste and crave（渴望）more flavorful food than non-obese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown apicture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin（胰岛素）, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people.In another experiment, results showed that certain people have aspecific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrate（糖类）.Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation（满足),and hunger for carbohydrates subsides.Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weigh-loss program. However, It has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, is better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increase appetite.1. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A) overweight people are tenseB) thin people don't eat when under stressC) weight watchers should chew on something inedible when tenseD) 56 percent of the population isn't overweight.2. According to the passage, insulin _______.A) increases in the bloodstream when people eat large amounts of foodB) can be used to lessen the appetiteC) causes a chemical reaction when food is seenD) levels don't change in average-weight people who see food3. In order to lose weight, it would be a good idea for heavy people to _______.A) jog 3 miles daily and chew on carrot sticksB) avoid stressful situations and have control over their eating habitsC) eat plenty of chewy carbohydratesD) walk up stairs and look at pictures of food4. Which of the following exercises might be best for an overweight person to engage in daily?A) An evening walkB) A long swimC) Cross-country skiingD) 10-mile bicycle rides5. What can be said about serotonin?A) It is a chemical that increases the appetite.B) Only certain people produce it in their brains.C) It tells the brain when a person is full.D) It neurotransmits carbohydrates to the brain.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Washington Irving was America's first man of letters to be knowninternationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of themost successful writers of his time in either country, delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was held was partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, has artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the new. Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans." In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford-- an unusual honor for a citizen of a young,uncultured nation--- and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain.Irving's background provides little to explain his literaryachievements. A gift but deliberate child, he had little schooling, He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practise seriously. He was immune to his strict Prebyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theatre.6. The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was ______.A) America's first man of lettersB) a great writer who was successful in his own country andother parts of the world as wellC) a man who won the respect of other writers because of hishigh social statusD) a man who was able to move from literature to politics7. What is implied by the comment about Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?A) Irving's great popularity resulted in the admiration of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne.B) More Americans than Britains admired Irving.C) Irving's work was not only popular, but also of high literary quality.D) Irving's success was attributed to his family background.8. What can be said about Irving's law career?A) He only began to practice law late in life.B) He spent very little time working as a lawyer.C) He never practiced law although he studied it .D) He worked as a lawyer with great enthusiasm.9. Why did Thackeray think that Irving's social grace was unusual?A) Because Irning's degree was honorable and unusual.B) Because his parents were not aristocratic.C) Because he had good sense and gay spirits.D) Because he often exhibited warm friendiness.10. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving's Presbyterian background on his life?A) It had almost no effect on his life.B) It promoted his interest in law.C) It fostered his love for literature.D) It enabled him to become a successful writer.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Time spent in bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether youare a book lover or merely there to buy a book as a present.Whatever the person , you can soon become totally in awareof 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 havefinished 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 canwaste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.Booksellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent（宽容）.11. 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 apresent12. 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 called13. 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 expensive14. 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 booksof various kindsC) to buy a best-selling novel to readD) to wander about in the streets15. The best title of this selection would be632A) On buying booksB) Bookshops and AssistantsC) Booklovers and BookshopsD) How to Escape the Realities of Everyday Life in a BookshopQuestions 16 to 20 are on the following passage:Social change is more likely to occur in societies where thereis a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies wherepeople are similar in many ways. The simple reason for thisis 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 organizationswith 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 openingmore areas of life to decision. In a society where people arequite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for changebecauseeverything seems to be the same. And although conditionsmay 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 technologyrather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic andless 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 acontinuous 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 Americanminorities, because of the sharp difference in appearancebetween them and their white counterparts.16. According to the passage, one of the factors that tendto promote social change is _____.A) mutual interestB) different points of viewC) more worldly peopleD) advanced technology17. Social change is less likely to occur in a society wherepeople are quite similar in many ways because______.A) people there are always satisfied with their living conditionsB) people there have identical needs that can be met withoutmuch disputesC) people there have got accustomed to their conditions thatthey seldom think it necessary to changeD) people there are less emotional and easy to please18. 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 materialaspectsof society.C) Social change is more likely to occur if it comes graduallyD) Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic andemotional aspects of society.19. The expression "greater tolerance" in Paragraph 1 refersto ______.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 ideas20. The passage mainly discusses______.A) two different societiesB) the necessary of social changeC) different social changesD) certain factors that determine the ease with which socialchanges occurPart 2 Vocabulary and structureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part, For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D) .Choose the ONE answer that best competes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha single line through the canter.21.

大学英语入学模拟试题一、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
As everyone knows, the IQ, the traditional measure of intelligence, is not the only factor that determines success in life. In recent years, social scientists have come to accept that another kind of intelligence, known as emotional intelligence (EQ), is far more important than IQ in helping people succeed in many areas of life.What exactly is emotional intelligence? It is the ability to empathize with others, control one’s feelings, adapt to differen t situations and maintain good interactions with others. People with high emotional intelligence tend to be successful in both personal and professional life.For example, children with high EQ are more likely to be attentive learners, have good social skills and show fewer behavioral problems in school. In the workplace, those with high EQ are better at understanding their colleagues, dealing with stress and solving problems.Emotional intelligence can be developed and improved through practice. Some ways to enhance EQ include developing good listening skills, being empathetic towards others, managing stress effectively and developing a positive mindset.In conclusion, emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in determining one’s success in life. It is a n important skill that should be cultivated and nurtured from a young age.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about emotional intelligence?A. It is not as important as IQ in determining success.B. It is the traditional measure of intelligence.C. It involves the ability to empathize with others and control one’s feelings.D. It has no impact on personal and professional life.2. The passage suggests that emotional intelligence ___________.A. cannot be developed or improvedB. is less important for children than adultsC. helps people succeed in various areas of lifeD. has no connection to social skills3. The author implies that emotional intelligence ___________.A. is a fixed trait that cannot be changedB. is inborn and has nothing to do with learningC. can be enhanced through certain practicesD. has no effect on one’s interactions with others二、阅读下面对话，从对话后所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If you are like a lot of American workers today, you experience a significant amount of stress in work. Stress doesn't just make you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work. And they are at a higher risk fordeath from any cause than those who are more relaxed.How do you know if your job could be a risk to your health? Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something.If you notice these signs in yourself or your loved one, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. If the cause does appear to be stress, experts say you should try to make time for yourself away from work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to music and shutting out the world for a while.6.According to the passage, almost all people know how to get rid of stress.A.TB.F答案：B7.Stress at work affects your life and makes you unhappy at work.A.TB.F答案：A8.Failing memory is a sign showing that your job is doing harm to your health.A.TB.F答案：A9.Stressed-out people have higher blood pressure only when they are at work.A.TB.F答案：B10.You should see a doctor and try to relax more if you've noticed some of the signs of stress.A.TB.F答案：AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. Aperson’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.”Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.11.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)__________A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D.Shy people think they are different from others.答案：B12.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A.a good qualityB.the cause of unhappinessC.harmful to peopleD.a weak point of shy people答案：A13.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A.goodB.unrealC.very reasonableD.harmful答案：D14.Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________A.Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC.Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem答案：C15.It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A.should find more of their weaknessB.should understand themselves in the right wayC.had better ignore their weaknessD.can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem答案：B三、词汇与语法16.What we have done is far from _______.A.satisfactoryB.satisfiedC.satisfactionD.satisfy答案：A17.Nancy is considered to be ________ the other students in her class.A.less intelligentB.the most intelligentC.intelligent as wellD.as intelligent as答案：D18.____ she survived the accident is miracle.A.WhatB.ThatC.AsD.Which答案：B19.The reason I did not go abroad was _____ a job in my home town.A.becauseB.due toC.that I gotD.because of getting答案：C20.I often see ______ the road on his way home.A.he crossB.him crossC.him crossedD.he crossing答案：B四、完型填空Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago.

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.1.Our long-term goals mean a lot__.A. if we complete our short-range goalsB. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC. if we write down the datesD. if we put forward some plans2.New short-term goals are built upon__.A. two yearsB. long-term goalsC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed3.When we complete each step of our goals ,__.A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we should build up confidence of successD. we should strong desire for setting new goals4.Once our goals are drawn up,__.A. we should stick to them until we complete themB. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunitiesC. we had better wait for the exciting news of successD. we have made great decision5.It is implied but not stated in the passage that ___.A. those who have long-term goals will succeedB. writing down the dates may discourage youC. the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destinationD. every should have a goalPassage twoOn the night of December 8, 1992, when he was standing in a parking lot talking to friends, Tracy Marsh jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundred times before. This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard.All night, Cory, Tracy’s mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy had once mentioned organ donation. Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated.Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty=-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracy’s liver was made part of my husband, David, Who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease.Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donor’s parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first time how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory too.For the Marshes, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I’ll never forget seeing David’s tall figure stooped over Cory, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying hello or good-bye she was saying both.6.

Cloze (2 points for each, altogether 20 points)Directions: Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks.Write your answers on the answer sheet.What do we mean by a perfect English pronunciation? In one 21 there are as many different kinds of English as there are speakers of it. None of the two speakers speak in exactly the same 22 . We can always hear differences between them, and the pronunciation of English23 a great deal in different geographical areas. How do we decide what sort of English to use asa 24 ? This is not a question that can be answered in the same way for all foreign learners of English. 25 you live in a part of the world like India or West Africa, where there is a long 26 of speaking English for general communication purpose, you should aim to acquire a good variety of the pronunciation of this area. It would be 27 in these circumstances to use as a model BBC English or anything of the sort. On the other hand, if you live in a country 28 there is no traditional use of English, you must take as your model some form of 29 English pronunciation. It does not matter very much which form you choose. The most 30 way is to take as your model the sort of English you can hear most often.21. _______.[A]meaning [B] sense [C] case [D] situation22. _______.[A] type [B] form [C] sort [D] way23. _______.[A] changes [B] varies [C] shifts [D] alters24. _______.[A] direction [B] guide [C] symbol [D] model25. _______.[A] Because [B] When [C] If [D] Whether26. _______.[A] custom [B] use [C] tradition [D] habit27. _______.[A] fashion [B] mistake [C] nonsense [D] possibility28. _______.[A] where [B] that [C] which [D] wherever29. _______.[A] practical [B] domestic [C] native [D] new30. _______.[A] effective [B] sensitive [C] ordinary [D] carefulIII. Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Penguins (企鹅)live together in large and busy colonies. Every pair has a little piece of ground. When a penguin wants to walk through his neighbor’s ground he must ask permission. If he does not，he will have to fight.Penguins come and go all day. They fight，fish and look after their children. All penguins are good parents--the Emperor penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic winter. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them——not see them. Then the females lay their eggs and go away for two months. The males look after the eggs. They hold them on their feet inside a fold of skin. If the eggs get cold there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls. The wind blows--sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters--the eggs. Emperor penguins never fight--unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.31. Each pair of penguins lives together with_______.[A] their parents[B] some good neighbors[C] many other penguins[D] their chicks32. According to the passage，Emperor penguins fight against each other for______.[A] a piece of ground[B] a female[C] an egg[D] a chick left alone by its parents33. What is very important is______.[A] female penguins[B] male penguins[C] eggs[D] a piece of ground34、Penguins are strange and wonderful birds because_______.[A] they only care about their children[B] the females do not look after their eggs[C] the males eat nothing while holding their eggs inside their warm fold of skin[D] all of the above.35、This passage mainly tells readers something_______.[A] strange about the best parents in the world[B] wonderful about Emperor penguins[C] interesting about penguins' life.[D] funny about the fight between the male penguinsPassage 2Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents（专利）on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931，Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observes a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes，streets，and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A Blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edison's funeral，many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his country people's fingertips.36. People decided to honor Edison when______.[A] he made the first electric light[B] electric power was 100 years old[C] the country realized electricity's importance[D] he died in 193137. The suggested plan was to_______.[A] turn off the lights in factories and schools[B] observe a few minutes of total silence[C] dim all electric lights[D] shut off all electricity for a short time38. Americans fully realized what Edison's inventions meant when they_______.[A] heard of his death[B] heard of the plan to honor him[C] first used electric power[D] tried to carry out the plan39. The plan was never carried out because_______.[A] not everyone wanted to honor Edison[B] it was too difficult[C] electric power was too important to the country[D] it honored only one of Edison's inventions40. This passage was probably written to______.[A] tell about Edison's inventions[B] explain electricity[C] prove that people wished to honor Edison[D] show what a great man Edison wasPassage 3Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and，at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.41. The passage mainly talks about_______.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people42. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，“them”refers to_______.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice43.“being your own person” in the last sentence most probably means_______.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence44. The second paragraph focuses on_______.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers45. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts?[A] teacher[B] father[C] mother[D] friends and contemporariesIV. Translation. (2 points for each, altogether 10 points)Directions: There are five sentences followed by the translated versions in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right translation for each sentence. Write your answers on theanswer sheet.46. 艾米过去除了咖啡，什么都不喝。
