Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards, especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one's opinion and supporting it with evidence, such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how togive their opinion, reasons and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else's opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside."Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customers. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they'll make as strong a case as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their case to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins."Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone's reasons and evidence.Mr. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else's opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else's point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There's an expression in English: don't criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person's shoes."第36题According to Paragraph 1, what is the purpose of debate?A.To bring long-lasting material rewards.B.To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C.To respond to questions in a systematic way.D.To persuade people to accept your opinions.第37题Why is debate important?A.It helps people understand others better.B.It allows people to present their opinions.C.It develops one's thinking and communicative competence.D.It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.第38题What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Container.B.Evidence.C.Problem.D.Product.第39题What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person's shoes"?A.Becoming more broad-minded.B.Developing critical thinking.C.Finding others' weak points.D.Trying out others' methods.上一题下一题(40~43/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking—and at times losing—their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois—all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell—to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist Search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance. A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group, team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"—where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim's scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.第40题Rescue dogs are chosen probably because ______.A.they are loyalB.they are braveC.they have amazing appearancesD.they have good eyesight第41题What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Courageous.B.Cowardly.C.Energetic.D.Slow.第42题Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearing.B.Swift movement.C.Extraordinary smelling.D.A strong memory.What is the passage mainly about?A.Selection process of rescue dogs.B.Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C.Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D.Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.上一题下一题(44~47/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Eating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That's according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing, asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year, the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they do contain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病), improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.第44题How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A.149.B.7,646.C.753.D.8,399.第45题What is the conclusion of the study?A.Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B.An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C.Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D.A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.What can we learn from the passage?A.Apples are better than oranges.B.Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C.Apples can help cure certain diseases.D.Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.第47题What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A.Objective.B.Creative.C.Subjective.D.Persuasive.上一题下一题(48~51/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government's efforts to improve schools: new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas—which is what fear does to us—research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing: psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind, to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn't working, to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn't come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much extra effort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person's behavior. As we all know, assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers may think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than what's best for the students. If we don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations, trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.第48题According to Paragraph 1, why does the author scratch his head?A.Because he doesn't know what to do once schools are closed.B.Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C.Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D.Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts.第49题According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvement?A.New standards and tests in schools.B.Positive social relationships.C.Strict teacher and student evaluations.D.Assistance of the government.第50题What is meant by trust in school?A.Freedom to express one's views.B.Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.Independence of the teachers in schools.D.Unconscious and unspoken expectations.第51题What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A.They should be trusted.B.They are often bold.C.They are often incorrect.D.They should be encouraged.上一题下一题(52~55/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties, tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner's latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner's Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places—is: "Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p.m."Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break 100? Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke, heart disease and several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary, wild sage, oregano, marjoram, mint or dandelion, all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties, which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria's very low dementia (痴呆) rate, since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.第52题What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.People who have secret lifestyles.B.People who enjoy physical exercise.C.People who are one hundred years old or older.D.People who carry, the gene for being slim.第53题According to Paragraph 3, what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A.In the morning.B.Any time of a day.C.In the early evening.D.In the afternoon.第54题What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A.To improve metabolism.B.To lower blood pressure.C.To lower life stress.D.To improve social relationships.第55题What might be the best title of the passage?A.Tea-Drinking TipsB.Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC.Tea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.Blue Zones Solutions上一题下一题(56~60/共5题)Part ⅤDaily ConversationDirections: Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight Choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Can I speak to Mr. Johnson, pleaseB.I'll tell him you've calledC.I'll give him the messageD.What can I do for youE.Can you tell him that we can meet tomorrow afternoon in my officeF.Can I take a messageG.Can you ask him to call me back as soon as possibleH.That's rightWoman: Hello, Mr. Johnson's office.Man: Good morning. 1 ?Woman: Sorry, he's in a meeting at the moment. 2 ?Man: Yes.

the tests and the midterms and labs,etc.,such that going into the final they had a solid“A”.These two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals’week,even though the Chemistry final was on Monday,they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and have a party with some friends up there.So they did this and had a great time.However,with the aftereffects of alcohol and everything,they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then,what they did was to find Professor Aldric after the final and explain to him why they missed the final.They told him that they went up to UVA for the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study,but they had a flat tire(爆胎)on the way back and didn’t have a spare and couldn’t get help for a long time and so were late gettingback to campus.Aldric thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on the following day. The two guys were overjoyed and relieved.So,they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told them.He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem,which was something simple about free radical formation and was worth5points.“Cool,”they thought,“this is going to be easy.”They did that problem and then turned the page.They were unprepared,however,for what they saw on the next page.It said:(95points)Which tire was flat?31.The two students decided to visit their friends at the weekend because.A.they didn’t want to take the examB.they were invited by their friendsC.they were not worried about the exam at allD.they forget the arrangement of the final exam32.They didn’t return as planned because.A.they got lost on their way backB.they slept beyond the time to come backC.their car broke down on their way backD.they couldn’t get help when they were in difficulty33.How did the Professor arrange the make-up exam?A.He made the exam booklet very long.B.He gave them different exam papers.C.He asked a very surprising question.D.He gave them very limited time to finish the paper.34.When they took the first glance at the exam booklet,they thought.A.it was easyB.it was too muchC.it was too difficultD.it was reasonable35.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.the students didn’t like Professor AldricB.the two students had difficulties in their studiesC.Professor Aldric was very clever and humorousD.the two students would surely pass the make-up examPassage2A large,detached(独立的)house not only ensures privacy.It is also a status symbol.The “magnificent home”is set in a big garden.Of course,this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people.But even a small detached house,surrounded by a garden,gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people.Most people would be happy to live in a cottage(村舍),and if this is a thatched(茅草的)cottage,suggestive of a pre-industrial age,so much the better.Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats(what the Americans call“apartment blocks”).Flats,they feel,provide the least amount of privacy.With a few exceptions,mostly in certain locations in central London,flats are the cheapest kind of home.The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else.The dislike of living in flats is very strong.In the1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold,uncomfortable nineteenth century houses,often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During the next twenty years many of them were given new“high rise”blocks of flats to live in which,with central heating and bathrooms,were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces.But people hated their new homes.They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up.They missed the neighborliness.They couldn’t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green spaces.The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken.The lifts didn’t work.The corridors were dark.Windows were damaged and were not repaired.There was graffiti all over the walls.36.British people prefer.A.flats to detached housesB.cottages to flatsC.modern houses to old housesD.city life to country life37.A garden is considered to be desirable because.A.it’s BritishB.it appears ruralC.gardening is popularD.children like gardens38.British people don’t like to live in blocks of flats because.A.they want more privacyB.flats are too smallC.flats are in expensive areasD.they dislike the neighbors therepared with the19th century houses,the new high-rise blocks.A.were in better locationsB.were warmly welcomedC.were much better equippedD.were much more expensive40.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A.British CultureB.Houses,Not FlatsC.British DreamD.Kinds of HousesPassage3When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem,we usually spend about95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves.Now,if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons’good points,things will be quite different.One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation.Somehow,we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card,and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse.Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant,send word to the cook that it is excellently prepared,and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness,please mention it.Every minister,lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment.What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices,shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation.It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.Try to be friendly and appreciative in your daily life,and you’ll be surprised how they will change your life and the world.41.According to the passage,people.A.spend a lot of time thinking about othersB.think about themselves most of the timeC.spend little time thinking about themselvesD.think more about others than themselves42.The writer criticizes the parents who.A.ignore their children’s achievementsB.are not interested in baking a cakeC.set high demands upon their childrenD.don’t help out when their kids have difficulties43.The underlined word“it”in Paragraph3refers to.A.delicious foodB.a restaurantC.the cookD.unusual politeness44.According to the passage,.A.kids need encouragement more than adultsB.professionals need appreciation more than workersC.appreciation is not necessary for family membersD.everyone needs appreciation and encouragement45.The writer believes that.A.people often appreciate things other people doB.people seldom appreciate things other people doC.say“thanks”to someone,and you’ll soon become friendsD.express your gratitude to others,and they will pass it onPassage4Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes,for instance as smart vacuum cleaners.Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called “social robots,”capable of engaging with people.Today’s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects.But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message,says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.“Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you’re interacting with someone rather than something,”she said.“And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership.”At the Naval Research Laboratory,near Washington,scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans.Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations.“You know if you’re going to have robots out in the wild,so to speak,they have to follow our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect,so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they’re around us,”he said.Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face.Steve Cousins,the CEO ofSavioke Robotics in Cupertino,California,says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel,delivering small items to people.“It’s designed to be in human space and interact with people and around people,”he said.“So it interacts with the front desk agent when they’re sending it somewhere.It interacts with people in the elevator as it’s going along.And,it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives.”So far,social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos.But Cynthia Breazeal,who designed this one,says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.46.What will social robots do according to the scientists?A.They will cooperate with people.B.They will clean the big house.C.They will explore underwater objects.D.They will build different kinds of cars.47.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Social robots are more difficult to design.B.Industrial robots are more complicated to design.C.Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.D.Industrial robots can do less than social robots.48.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.social robots only serve the people they likeB.it’s better for social robots to work in a hotelC.it’s better for social robots to have a human faceD.social robots will be under the control of human beings49.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The function of social robotsB.The use of industrial robots.C.The daily life of robots.D.The way of designing robots.50.Which of the following best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?A.CriticalB.PrejudicedC.SubjectiveD.ObjectivePart III Cloze(15%)Directions:There are15blanks in the following passage.For each blank,there are four choices. Choose the one best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Some people worry about my collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.One of the questions that is always asked is51I became an animal collector.

2017年河北专接本考试《英语》真题及详解
2017年河北专接本考试《英语》真题(总分100, 考试时间90分钟)Reading Comprehension1. There is a tale that straw (稻草) is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales (大捆) on his land. They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr. Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code committee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated , for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material. It is, for one thing, a great insulator(绝热体). That keeps down the healting bills houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap. And-very much to the point in a place like California-it is earthquake-resistant. Last yeara test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northbridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in 1994. There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and on office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr. Eisenberg observes, "The lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn't to avoid straw. It's that you don't let a pig build your house. "1. By "the cards were stacked against Warren Bruch" , the anthor means .A Brush disliked playing cardsB cards were piled around BrushC Brush might lose the card gameD Brush could be in trouble答案:D解析:ABC三项,都采用的是card的原意"纸牌",而原文与"纸牌"没有任何关系。

江苏省2017年普通高校专转本选拔考试英语真题附参考答案
江苏省 2017 年一般高校专转本选拔考试Part 1 Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每题 2 分,共 40 分 )Directions There are 4 passages in this part,Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements,For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choiceand mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.We use both words and gestures to express our feelings,but the problem is that these words and gestures canbe understood in different waysIt is true that a smile means the same thing in any language,So does laughter or crying.There are also anumber of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings .Dogs, tigers and humans,for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behaviorpatternsFear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and Englishliterature, a phrase like “ he wentpale and begin to tremble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deepshocked, However, he”opened his eyes wide ”is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it meanssurprise In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase li ke “ they stretched out their tongues” Sticking out you tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislikeEven in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings,Experiments in Americahave shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear,anger,love and happiness on people ’ sfaces,Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language thanyounger people do.1.According to the passage,—— BA.We can hardly understand what people ’s gestures meanB.words and gestures may have different meaning in different culturesC.words can be better understood by older peopleD.gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot 2.People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood because——B A people of different ages may have different understandingB people have different culturesC people of different sexes may understand a gesture differentlyD people of different countries speak different languages3 .Even in the same culture. people —— AA. have different abilities to understand and express feelingsB.have exactly the same understanding of somethingC.never fail to understand each otherD.are equally intelligent4.From this passage, we can conclude —— CA words are used as frequently as gesturesB words are often difficult to understandC words and gestures are both used in expressing feelingsD gestures are more efficiently used than words5.The best title for this passage may be —— BA. Words and FeelingsB. Words,Gestures and FeelingsC.Gestures and FeelingsD.Culture and UnderstandingPassage TowQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageThe English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are"copper" and "bobby" the first name comes from the verb "to cop". (which is also slang).meaning to take or to capture". and the second comesfrom the first name of Sir Robert Peel, the nineteenth-century politician, who was the of the police force as we know it today. An early nickname for the policeman was "peeler" but this one has died out.Whatever we may call them,the general opinion of the police seems to be a favorable one, except, of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated in America, such as "fuzz" or "pig". Visitors to England seem to be very impressed by the English police. It has. Infact, become a standing joke that the Visitor to Britain, when asked tar his views of the country. will always say, at some point or other, "I think your policemen are wonderful."Well,the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character. A music-hall song of some years ago was called "If You Want To Know The Time, Ask A Policeman". Nowadays. most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen.In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else.Two things are Immediately noticeable to the stranger, when he sees an English policeman for the first time.The first is that he does not carry a pistol and the second is that he wears a very distinctive of headgear. the policeman's helmet ,His helmet, together which his height,enables an English policeman to he seen from a considerable distance, a fact that is not without its usefulness. From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a pistol and that his helmetshould be taken from him, but both these suggestions are resisted by given and that his helmet should be taken from him ,but both suggestions are resisted by the majority of the public and the police themselves.6.Nowadays British people call the policeman —— CA.pigB. peelerC. BobbyD. Fuzz7. Which of the following statements is TRUE?BA. There are fewer criminals America than tn Britain.B. The English police usually leave a deep impression on visitors .C. The English bobby is friendly but not helpful.D. The English police enjoy having pistols.8. If you see an English policeman for the first time. you will probably notice at once that——CA. he often tells people timeB. he is usually very helpfulC.he has a helmet on the headD. he wears special clothes9.

Visitors praise the English police because —— AA. they are polite and helpfulB. they obey ordersC. they often given thanksD. they are armed with modem equipmentPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to he found in our pastexperiences,which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It not only includes "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers.for example, contain devices from storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000"words" -ready for instant use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider. tar example- the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the bass of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.11.According to the passage, memory is considered to be —— BA.the basis for decision making and problem solvingB.the ability to store information for future useC.an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words12.The comparison between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that——Cputer's memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager'sputer's memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being'sputer's memory's capacity is much smaller even than a teenager'sputer's memory's capacity is the same as a teenager's13.1t is implied in the passage that —— C14.The phrase “in terms of ”in the last sentence can be best replaced by—— BA.in connection withB. expressed byC.consistingD.by means of15.The main idea of the passage is—— BA.What life would be like without memoryB.Memory is of vital importance to lifeC.How a person ’s memory different from an animal ’s or a computer’sD.What memory carriesPassage fourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passageClearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. Agreat deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travelin buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give informationor opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely to have our views challenged by other members of society.Face to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advanced imprinting, telecommunications photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed( 相形见拙 ) by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to( 只限于 ) a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. For years ago peopleused to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that isbeing channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing accessto information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual andto the society of which he is part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.16.The first paragraph the writer emphasizes the—— of face-to-face contact in social setting.DA . natureB .limitation C. creativity D .Usefulness17.The development of the communication industry in contemporary society results from—— BA.the advances and revolutionsB.the inventiveness and speedC.the art of mass communicationD.the advances and speed18.It is implied in the passage that—— C.A . local news used to be the only source of informationB. local news still takes a significant placeC. national news is becoming more popularD. international news is the fastest transmitted news19.Which of the following statements is NOT true?AA . Public libraries have replaced the private libraries.B. To possess information used to be a privilegeC. Communication means more than transmission.D. Communication influences ways of life and thinking.20.It can be inferred from the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is ___A___.A. concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaB.Happy about the flexible change in the mass mediaC.Pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD.Indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass medPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共 40 小题,每题 1 分,共 40 分)Directions : there are 40 incomplete sentences in this part For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B,C and D.

If you are, then you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary and assault(攻击).Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine “It will neverhappen to me.” Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.You must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication that your house is packed with valuable possessions. It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.Send now for our free leaflet telling you how we can Protect Alarm your house quickly, easily and cheaply. Complete and tear off the slip below and post it to us. Postage is free. Alternatively, telephone us at 3276721 where we have a round-the-clock answering service. It costs nothing to find out about Protect Alarms.71. Anyone who takes an interest in the crime rate will, according to the text, be aware that .A、more burglars are being caught than ever beforeB、people have more possessions to worry about nowadaysC、burglars are more at risk than they used to beD、homes are more likely to be broken into than before72.

The purpose of the article is .A、to warn people against the danger of the rising crime rateB、to help people to protect their houseC、to persuade people to buy somethingD、to discourage the burglarsPassage FourCollege is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, “No, you're not going out tonight.” or “D id you finish your homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions! Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, “Are you a new student?” When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, “Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going.” Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm(学生宿舍) because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!76. The text is perhaps written by .A、a new studentB、a new teacherC、a foreign reporterD、a foreign visitor77. What does “gives me a sense of responsibility” in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel .A、responsible for my parentsB、responsible for my teacherC、responsible for the schoolD、responsible for myself78. One thing that he liked was .A、the comfortable dormB、finding his way aroundC、his studies as a first year studentD、the friendly people79. What is New Gerard?A、It's a student's name.B、It's a teacher's name.C、It's a dorm's name.D、It's a school's name.80. Which of the following is NOT true?A、People in Marymount University are friendly.B、The writer likes the new experience in the university.C、The writer drove to Marymount University with his mother.D、The writer is not homesick.四、翻译题(每小题2分,共40分)81. 众所周知,肺癌至少部分地是由于吸烟过多而引起的。

into the statement.Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage1Questions11-15are based on the following passageThere is a tale that straw(稻草)is the worst material from which to build a house,particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around.So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales(大捆)on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot.But the case is still unresolved.The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw.And Mr.Brush has many defenders--among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg,the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code committee.They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated,for straw is,in many ways,an ideal building material.It is,for one thing,a great insulator(绝热体).That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it.It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned,and is therefore cheap.And--very much to the point in a place like California--it is st year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in1994.There are other straws in the wind:a post office in suburban Albuquerque,a school in Maryland,and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw.Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale Construction.As Mr.Eisenberg observes,“The lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn’t to avoid straw.It’s that you don’t let a pig build your house.”11.By“the cards were stacked against Warren Brush”,the author means.A.Brush disliked playing cardsB.Cards were piled around BrushC.Brush might lose the card gameD.Brush could be in trouble12.The underlined word“eliminated”in paragraph2most probably means.A.the prejudice can be removedB.the prejudice can be ignoredC.the quality of the house can be improvedD.the quality of the house can be guaranteed13.According to paragraph3,which of the following is NOT the advantage of using straw to build a house?A.It can keep warm.B.It is cheap.C.It is earthquake resistant.D.It is wind-proof.14.The tale of“the Three Little Pigs”may illustrate(说明).A.straw is the worst material to build a houseB.straw is the best material to build a houseC.the house should not be built by a pigD.pigs are good at building houses15.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to.A.show that straw cannot be used to build housesB.explain how to build a house with strawC.describe the prejudice against straw housesD.introduce a new building materialPassage2Questions16-20are based on the following passageIn1947a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness,Richard Burton,Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团).It became a fixed event every August and now attracts400,000people yearly.At the same time,the“Fringe”appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University,and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the“Fringe”,once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival with around1,500performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the21days it lasts.And yet as early as1959,with only19theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in1971,and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to150during August itself.In2004there were200places housing1,695 shows by over600different groups from50different countries.More than1.25million tickets were sold. 16.Why Edinburgh Festival was held in1947?A.To attract theatre groups in Europe.C.To introduce symphony orchestras.17.Who joined the“Fringe”after it appeared?B.To bring Europe together again.D.To honor the Second World War.A.University students.B.Popular artists.C.Famous theatre groups.D.Big symphony orchestras.18.How long does the Edinburgh Festival last?A.Half a monthB.The whole month of August.C.All year round.D.Three weeks.19.Which of the following is NOT true about the Edinburgh Festival in1947according to the passage?A.People held an international festival in Edinburgh.B.Some uninvited groups took part in the Edinburgh Festival.C.About400,000people were attracted by the Edinburgh Festival.D.There were no paid administrators in Edinburgh Festival20.What can be inferred about Edinburgh Festival from this passage?A.It has gone beyond an art festival.C.It keeps growing rapidly.B.It gives shows all year round.D.It has become a non-official event.

Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneDebate is a valuable way to practise communicating.It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially for people working with Western businesses.The main activity of debate is presenting one's opinion and supporting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts.It is a way of persuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the"Discover Debate"method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business.Successful debaters learn how to give their opinion,reasons and support."What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact(交流)with someone else's opinion,rather than brush their opinion aside."Debate skills are also important in selling a product,he says.In that situation,the judges are the customers."So on Monday,for example,one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they"ll make as strong a ease asthey can.On Tuesday,the next day,another company will come in and present their ease to the /doc/b813960983.html,ually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking.In other words,it helps students learn to ask questions and try to understand someone's reasons and evidence.lift-.Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying.Then,they look for the weak points in someone else's opinion or argument.He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view.Mr.Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind."There's an expression in English:don't criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes.I think the wonderful thing about debate is,it puts us in another person's shoes."36.According to Paragraph1,what is the purpose of debate?A.To bring long-lasting material rewards.B.To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C.To respond to questions in a systematic way.D.To persuade people to accept your opinions.37.Why is debate important.A.It helps people understand others better.B.It allows people to present their opinions.C.It develops one's thinking and communicative competence.D.It gives one the opportunity to brush others'opinion aside.38.What does the underlined word“case”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Container.B.Evidence.C.Problem.D.Product.39.What can debaters benefit fro m“walking in another person' s shoes”.A.Becoming more broad-minded.B.Developing critical thinking.C.Finding others'weak points.D.Trying out others'methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero,and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone,risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups,or from the traditional Herding Group.These types include the Bloodhound,Labrador Retriever,Newfoundland,German Shepherd,Golden Retriever,and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength,loyalty,and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas.As highly trained animals,they serve in many different fields,including specialist search,snow slide rescue,dead body location,and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker,a dog must display certain qualities.In addition to intelligence and strength,the dog must be swift,confident,easily trainable,adaptable,and have a high level of stamina(耐力)and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during"down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many,many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Training is not for the faint-hearted.Certification training can take from two to three years,working three to four hours a day,three to sixdays a week,often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training.Rescue training,for instance,includes"air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim's scent(气味)and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40.Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A.they are loyalB.they are braveC.they have amazing appearancesD.they have good eyesight41.What does"faint-hearted"in Paragraph5mean??A.Courageous.B.Cowardly.C.Energetic.D.Slow.42.Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearing.B.Swift movement.C.Extraordinary smelling.D.A strong memory.43.What is the passage mainly about?A.Selection process of rescue dogs.B.Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C.Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D.Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away,but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year.That's according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis,of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health.A total of753were apple eaters,consuming at least149g of raw apple per day.The remaining7,646were classed as non-apple eaters.When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be27%less likely to visit the druggist for drugs. Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption,though."Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.However,the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications,"the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters.While apples do not compete with oranges,they do contain some immune(免疫的)system-increasing vitamin C,which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less.With over8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit,an apple canprovide roughly14%your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type2diabetes(二型糖尿病),improved lung function and a lower risk of colon(结肠)cancer.44.How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A.149.B.7,646.C.753.D.8,399.45.What is the conclusion of the study?A.Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults'trips to the doctor.B.An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C.Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D.A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.46.What can we learn from the passage?A.Apples are better than oranges.B.Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C.Apples can help cure certain diseases.D.Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47.What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A.Objective.B.Creative.C.subjective D.persuasivePassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government's efforts to improve schools:new standards andtests to be applied,strict teacher evaluations,and threats of school closures and job losses.They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students.Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach.In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools,Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn't working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn't come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider,the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity(正直).The challenge is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught,each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening.And when expectations are unconscious or unspoken,it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person's behavior.As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example,parents and teachers my think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement ratherthan hat"s best for the students.don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations,trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.48.According to Paragraph1,why does the author scratch his head?A.Because he doesn't know what to do once schools are closed.B.Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C.Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D.Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts.49.According to Bryk and Schneider,what was most important for successful school improvement?A.New standards and tests in schools.B.Positive social relationships.C.Strict teacher and student evaluations.D.Assistance of the government.50.What is meant by trust in school?A.Freedom to express one's views,B.Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.Independence of the teachers in schools.D.Unconscious and unspoken expectations.51.What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A.They should be trusted.B.They are often bold.C.They are often incorrect.D.They should be encouraged.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe,Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be100have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role,but these folks also have strong social ties,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones,as described in author Dan Buettner’s latest book,The Blue Zones Solution,we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions.In fact,Buettner's Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his15or so years of studying these places--is:"Drink coffee for breakfast,tea in the afternoon,wine at5p.m"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea.Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea,as well as foods like cocoa.Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break1007Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease and several cancers.One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism(新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria,the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves.Instead,Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary,wild sage,oregano,maijoram,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory(消炎的)properties,which may help lower bloodpressure.This could explain Ikaria's very low dementia (痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52.What does the underlined word"centenarians"in Paragraph 1refer to?A.People who have secret lifestyles.B.People who enjoy physical exercise.C.People who are one hundred years old or older.D.People who carry the gene for being slim.53.According to Paragraph3,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A.In the morning.B.Any time of a day.C.In the early evening.D.In the afternoon.54.What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A.To improve metabolism.B.To lower blood pressure.C.To lower life stress.D.To improve social relationships.55.What might be the best title of the passage?A.Tea-Drinking TipsB.Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC.Tea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.Blue Zones SolutionsⅤ.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Can I speak to Mr.Johnson,pleaseB.I’ll tell him you’ve calledC.I’ll give him the messageD.What can I do for youE.Can you tell him that we can meet tomorrow afternoon in my officeF.Can I take a messageG.Can you ask him to call me back as soon as possibleH.That’s rightWoman:Hello,Mr.Johnson's office.Man:Good morning.56?Woman:Sorry,he's in a meeting at the moment.57?Man:Yes.This is Steve Lee from Bright light Systems.58?Woman:Tomorrow afternoon in your office.Man:59Woman:Okay.60Man:Thank you.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题,共25分)Ⅵ.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write an essay in English in100-120words based on the following information.

Readi ng Comprehe nsion (50 poin ts)Section A (30 poi nts)Directions: There are two passagesin 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 are required to choose the ONEthat best fits in to the stateme nt. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleline through the center.There is a tale/ that straw(稻草)is the worst material from which to build a house , particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials(官员)learned that he had several buildings /made ofstraw bales(大捆)on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem isthat California ' s building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr.rBsh has many defe nders —among them several uni versity scie ntists and David Eise nberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council ' s code committee. They w to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal build ing material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator(绝热体).That keeps down the heating billsin houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be bur ned, and is therefore cheap. And —very much to the point in a place like California—it is earthquake-resista nt. Last year a test con ducted at the Uni versity of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northbridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a schoolin Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Eve n Califor nia is hav ing a rethi nk, and may cha nge its rules to adapt to straw-baleconstruction. As Mr. Eisenberg observes, “ Thdesson of theThree Little Pigs isn '0 avoidstraw. It ' s that you don ' t let a pig build your house. ”1. By “ the cards were stacked against Warren Brush ” , the author meansA. Brush disliked playing cardsB. cards were piled (堆放;一堆)around BrushC.

whether 是否,常与or not 连用。
what 什么。
when 当... 的时候,表时间。
how 如何;怎样。
