2009年4月成人本科学士学位英语统一考试试题及答案解析
2009年4月北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试试题及答案(A)Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)第一篇文章主要是讲关于十几岁年轻人的一些问题。
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by som e questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marke d A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding le tter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stan d on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking ou t boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of th eir cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.(76) It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. Thi s is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to liste n to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.1. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.【答案】B第1题目问的是作者写这篇文章的目的是干什么的。

The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings -- a ratio that remainedalmost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.21. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U.S. farms in 1870?A. AnimalsB. HumansC. EnginesD. Water22. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.23. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 _____.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been established24. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would______.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy25. What is the authors attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed by themD. He questions their usefulness学位英语考试完形填空样题For many people today, reading is very important. In___1___a job, the ability to read and ___2___quickly can meanthe___3___between success andfailure.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories.The older he grew，the fonder he became of them.But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give halfhis wealth and his beautiful daughter tothe man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prisonfor life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell thePrince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a storythat would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“The risk is worththe head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then beganthis well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So heordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn.Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felthappy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locustcame out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole andcame out with two grains of corn. Then afifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answeredthe young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain ofthe corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied,and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted aboutstory because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endlessstory to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison_________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the Kingasked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in theroof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form ofadvertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. Forexample, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box witha picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture thanin the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printedon a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buyproducts or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyerwill get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get somethingfor nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free ofchargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements isNOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated bypackages.B. Small children sometimes are moreinterested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container mustbe cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. ,D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggestthat people can buy the most product forthe least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the informationon the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at allwith the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52.

Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from theemployerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of thefollowing statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips inwestern countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay hightips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts ofother people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place,generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amountof tax_________.A. have no difference from place to placein the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm .He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock . He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further .There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out . But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track . Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke . He waited . It was a girl on a horse , and she was riding towards him ."There's a badly burnt man on the farm ,"the girl shouted. "He saved my life . Please help me to save him ."The girl was Cathy Henderson ,She had been on horseback for two hours . She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning . Her pony had fallen with her twice . She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep . But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately .Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him . They lifted him on to Jack's horse . The ride back to Borrogee was terrible . Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony . The pony was tired too.,but its courage was astonishing .It followed Jack right to Borrogee hospital . Nobody saw them arrive because it was night ."I've never seen a horse like that pony," Jack said ,Cathy praised Jack Billabong , but she refused to say anything about the pony ."Joe will write about her in my story ," she said.But she did say one thing :"If Flame hadn't returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I woudl have died."16.Jack Billabong did not turn back because _____D__A.he hadn't found the bull yet .B.He smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC.He knew there was a burnt man thereD.He saw something moving towards him.17.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?

DA.Rescue of Joe BrookB.Courage of Jack BillabongC.Love of a Young GirlD.Heroism of a Lovely PonyPassage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years Each couple provided four photographs--one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups : a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later . Some testees were asked to pick out the partners . They failed totally with the first group . Their judgments were on better than chance . But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage , the testees were quite successful in deciding who was married to whom . They were particularly successful with the most happily-married couples .Dr.Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation . One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it . He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones . Another possible reason , he says , is the common experience of the couples . There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways . For example , if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences , their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21.Dr.Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of _____C______________A.imitating the couples lifeB.Grouping the couples againC.Leaving no trace for the testeesD.Giving the testees more chances22.The underlined sentence Their judgments were no better than chance implies that the testees___B___A.did a good job in making their choicesB.Had difficulty in picking out the partnersC.Had no chance to make the right judgmentsD.Did better with the first group than with the second23.the underlied word imitate (in para . 2) has a similar meaning to "______A_____A.copyB.changeC.knowD.suffer24.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that____B____A.couples who look alike can live lingerB.Most partners have been proved to grow alikeC.The influence between partners can be quite strongD.Happily-married couples are often richer than others25.The main purpose of the passage is to ____A___A.explain why couples grow alikeB.Tell how couples like each otherG..Discuss the function of marriage D.Describe the life of happily-married couples Passage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are:(1) "The check is in the mail ", (2) "Of course I'll respect you in the moring", and (3) "It was a computer error."Of these three little white lies ,the worst is the third . It's the only one that can never be true . Today , if a bank statement cheats you out of $900 that way ,you know what the clerk is sure to say:" It was a compute error ." Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it .The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does . If the innocent buyer points out the mistake , the checker , bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation :"It was a computer error."It wasn't, of course . That computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric eye . The eye reads the Universal Product Code--that bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package--and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory . If the price list is right , you'll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day----that is , somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices . If the price they type in is too high , there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty . But somehow " a computer error " is supposed to excuseeverything .One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge , modern computers are "electric brains " with "artificial intelligence ". At some point there might be a machine with intelligence , but none exists today . The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more "intelligent"than your average pen . At this point in the development of computers ,the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do .26.Of the three lies ,the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself ___C_A.says nonsenseB.Cheats customersC.Cannot make the errorD.Does not admit its error27.According to the author , a computerized cashier is really just _____D_A.a machine to count moB. machine to receive moneyC.An instrument to print codesD.An instrument to read codes28.Grocery store price lists are updated by ________C_____________A.a computerB.a keyboardC.an employeeD.an electric brain29.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers____D______A.are very cleverB.never make mistakesC.have a good memoryD.are controlled by men30.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage? Dputers are stupid and inefficientputer errors are due to its dishonestyputers help stores update the price listputer errors are actually human errorsPassage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day . It listed all the tradesmen in each village ,and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside .Nowadays a traveller in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors . Nevertheless , this would really be a false impression . On the surface , there has been a decline of village commerce , but its power is still remarkable .Our local grocer's shop ,for example , is actually expanding in spite of the competitinon from supermarkets in the nearest town . Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doning their shopping instead of queuing up at a supermarket . And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value .His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town ,but he will deliver anything at any time . His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing . The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour . They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer , a red faced figure , instantly obtains if for them.31.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____A__A.still very activeB.quickly decliningC.unable to flourishD.personal to visitors32.The local grocer's shop is expanding because____C___A.the competition there is weakB.It is a place for women to chatC.It provides good personal serviceD.The goods there are more valuable33.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets ? BA.Prices there are much higherB.Customers often have to queue upC.Customers can order by telephoneD.Their personal services are satisfactory.34.How do the village grocer's assistants feel about giving extra service ? DA.They don't think it a troubleB.They don't think it worthwhileC.They don't consider it a good dealD.They don't consider it a pleasant experience35.One special feature of the village shop is that ____D___A.there is a very wide range of goods availableB.Customers can order goods by word of mouthC.Customers have to order goods one hour earlierD.There is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part .

The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happenif he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poeti cally （得体地）. He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn.A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …” “Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________. （分数：2.00）A.he had too much wealthB.there was terrible famineC.all stories have ends √D.there was no story-teller解析：42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.（分数：2.00）A.a great sumB.the prince’s beautiful daughter√C.showing his braveryD.Both A and C解析：43.The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end. （分数：2.00）A.forever √B.for some timeC.for a whileD.for a year解析：44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.（分数：2.00）A.a huge storehouseB.a large farm √C.a beautiful palaceD.a waterproof kitchen解析：45.The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.（分数：2.00）A.a loafB.a small hole √C.a grain of cornD.a locust解析：46.Passage Two Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comesin a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, orsmall gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Children are interested in some packages of products.B.Package is one of the important ways of advertising. √C.People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D.The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.解析：47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________. （分数：2.00）A.a buyer will get something free of charge √B.a buyer will get something uselessC.a buyer will get something usefulD.nothing is worth buying解析：48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B.Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C.A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. √D.“Economy Size”doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money解析：49.What does the word “ them ” ( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.（分数：2.00）A.Small giftsB.PicturesC.GamesD.Products √解析：50.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Package is just an advertisement.B.Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.√C.The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D.Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.解析：51.Passage Three For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have bec ome part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known pro verbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.English people_________. （分数：2.00）A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB.never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC.are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist√D.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist解析：52.Every Englishman knows_________.（分数：2.00）A.more or less about Shakespeare √B.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all the Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of greatest English writer解析：53.Which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use. √D.All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.解析：54. “HAMLET” is _________.（分数：2.00）A.a play written by Shakespeare √B.a play recommended by ShakespeareC.a play appreciated by ShakespeareD.a play people have been complaining about解析：55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________. （分数：2.00）A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB.by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language √C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD.English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days解析：56.Passage Four Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.The main idea of this passage is _________. （分数：2.00）A.shopping and tippingB.sales and shoppingC.sales taxes and tipping √D.sales taxes and people解析：57.According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.（分数：2.00）A.$4.5B.$4 √C.$5D.$5.5解析：58. Usually, cab drivers _________.（分数：2.00）A.get high wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employer √D.get prize from the employer解析：59.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. √B.The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.解析：ually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.（分数：2.00）A.have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B.are over 15% in the U. S.C.have been put an end in the U. S.D.vary from place to place in the U. S. √解析：三、Part Ⅲ Cloze (20 po ints) (总题数：1，分数：20.00)Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their family.

Along 67 the letters there are answers written 68 people who are supposed to know how to 69 such problems. Some of these writers are doctors;70 are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice 71 women without special training 72 this kind of work. One of them answers letters 73 to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed 74 “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for 75 advice. There is one writer who has not lived long 76 to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Cavaliere, who started writing 77 for newspaper readers 78 the age of ten.

Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D.

Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from theemployerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of thefollowing statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips inwestern countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay hightips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts ofother people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place,generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amountof tax_________.A. have no difference from place to placein the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in thefollowing passage.

2009年河南专升本英语真题重难点解析
Passage 2
参考译文 包装是广告的一个非常重要的部分。一个好的包装有时会促使人们购 买某种产品，例如，一个小孩子可能会因为包装盒子上印有一个电视演员 的图片而要买那份早餐食品，小孩子对图片的兴趣远远大于他对早餐的兴 趣。一些供小孩子涂色或者剪切的图片，包装上印刷的游戏，盒子中装着 的小礼物同样会促使许多小孩购买产品——或者叫他们的父母为他们买。 有些包装显示，有的购买者买一件东西，却什么也不图。那些包装在 可重复使用的容器中的食物产品就是例证。尽管装在一个普通容器中的同 样的产品价钱要低一些，但是，因为人们认为包装是免费的，所以他们通 常还是更喜欢购买装在可重复利用的玻璃器皿中的产品。然而，包装的成 本是计算在产品的成本中的。 包装的尺寸同样也会促使人购买。包装上可能印有“经济型”或者 “家庭型”，这表明大号的包装产品最多，而价格最低。但是事实上这并 不总是对的，要看是否真是这样，买者要知道该产品是怎么出售的，每单 位卖多少钱。 包装上的信息应该可以提供一些答案。但是对于任何一个买家来说， 最重要的事情是要记住，包装就是广告。包装上的词和图片并不是事情的 全部，只有里面的产品才是。
12. aux.+ have done
1. “must have done”表示对过去事情的肯定推测，译成“一定
做过某事”，该结构只用于肯定句。 eg. It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet. 昨晚 一定下雨了，因为地面还是湿的。 否定句一般用“can„t have done”表示对过去事情的否定推测， 译成“不可能做过某事”。 Mary can't have stolen your money. She has gone home. 玛 丽不可能偷你的钱，她回家去了。

4. According to the passage,what results from the introduction of computers？
A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.
B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.
When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts （such as jobs of operations managers）while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. （77） After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.

2009年11月成人本科学位英语全真试卷
[真题] 2009年11月成人本科学位英语全真试卷Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979．They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979．It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday, At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker’s activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.__76)Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters (猎头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job．For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the Same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job．The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend mote time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率) is not always positive. (77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone’s productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductivetime at the office once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the Solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.第1题：What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work 80 hours a week and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.参考答案：A 您的答案：答案解析：本题考查考生对文章大意的把握。

You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 你理想的工作是什么?2. 你喜欢这个工作的原因是什么?3. 你打算为之学习的内容?Sample answer:My Dream JobMy dream job is to become a doctor. I have always been fascinated by the idea of helping people and making a positive impact on their lives. Being a doctor allows me to do just that, as I would have the opportunity to heal the sick and alleviate their suffering.I like the idea of being a doctor because it is a challenging and rewarding profession. It requires a great deal of dedication and hard work, but the satisfaction of being able to save livesand improve the health of others is unparalleled.

Each passage is followed by somequestions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices markedA, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop”shouted the Prince. “I can’t,”answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.”“But that will go on for ever.”The Prince protested. “Exactly”the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumC. showing his bravery B. the prince’s beautiful daughterD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. forever C. for a whileB. for some time D. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouse C. a beautiful palaceB. a large farmD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafC. a grain of cornB. a small holeD. a locust Passage TwoPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of thepassage?A. Children are interested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing”( Line 1, Para 2 ) probablymeans _________.A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a packagethan the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in aplain container.D. “Economy Size” doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most productfor the least money.49. What does the word “them ”( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.”Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest English writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning tospeak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words theyuse.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET”is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complaining about55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used Englishbecause _________.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The NewYork City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is _________.A. shopping and tipping C. sales taxes and tippingB. sales and shopping D. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, youpay extra _________as sales tax.A.$4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from the employerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they arenot tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.
