For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our luck y customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”36. The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper37. Mrs. Edwards ________.A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily38 Mrs. Edwards’s husband tried to ________.A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things39 Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to _______.A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping40. Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointed(失望的)BLillian Beard whistled and smiled while she worked. “Why are you so happy?”her co-workers asked her.“Last week I got my income tax refund(退税),”Lillian answered.“This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $ 462 in my pocket. I’m thinking about the money. How will I spend it?”After work, Lillian came home and decided to wash come clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty, so they put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she thought, “The money! It’s in the pocket of my jeans!”Lillian ran to the washing machine and took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table.A few hour s later the money was still wet. “Hmmm,”Lillian thought.“How can I dry this money?”Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in the microwave, set the timer for five minutes, and left the kitchen.When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the oven door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her, “If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give new money.”Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $ 17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. “Tell Mr. Beard to send the burned money to the US Department of Treasury(美国财政),”the people said. “Maybe she can get her money back.”Every year about 30,000 people send damaged money to the Treasury Department. Experts there look carefully at the damaged money. Sometimes they can give people new money for the damaged money. Once a farmer’s cow ate-his money ––– thousands of dollars. The farmer killed the cow and sent the cow’s stomach, with the money inside, to the Treasury Department. The experts gave the farmernew money.Lillian sent her money to the Treasury Departm ent. The experts looked at Lillian’s burned money and sent her a check for $ 231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn’t buy anything. She gave the $ 231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, “When I burned the $ 462, I thought, ‘Well, my mon ey is gone.’”The check for $ 231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me.41. Where does Lillian’s $ 462 come from?A. Her salaryB. Her bonus（奖金）C. She picked up on her way homeD.

People from the newspaperC. A friend phoned her.D. She thought out herself.45. Lillian gave her money to ________.A. her motherB. her friendsC. Treasure DepartmentD. farmerCAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies. Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a stude nt’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.46. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible47. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes48. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.49. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres50. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new system五.补全对话( 共五句;每句为2分,共10分)从右边的选项中选出正确的句子,将左边的对话补充完整.Jane：what are you going to be in the future ?Tobby：1.___________Jane：That sounds interesting.

大专英语期末试题及答案

大专英语期末试题及答案一、阅读理解Passage 1：Recent studies have shown that physical exercise can significantly improve mental health. Regular exercise has been linked to reduced stress levels, improved mood, and increased self-esteem. Physical activity stimulates the production of endorphins, which are known as the "feel-good" hormones. These hormones help to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.In addition to the positive effects on mental health, exercise also enhances cognitive function. Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which improves concentration and memory. Studies have found that exercise can even help prevent age-related cognitive decline and reduce the risk of developing neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.To reap the mental and cognitive benefits of exercise, it is recommended to engage in moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. This can include activities such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or dancing. It's important to find an exercise routine that you enjoy and can stick to in the long term. Incorporating regular exercise into your daily life can have a significant positive impact on your overall well-being.Passage 2：Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in mindfulness meditation as a way to reduce stress and improve mental health. Mindfulness involves being fully present and aware of the present moment, withoutjudgment. It can be practiced through various techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or focusing on sensations in the body.Research has shown that mindfulness meditation can help reduce anxiety and depression. It has also been found to promote a sense of calmness and overall well-being. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can learn to manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively, leading to better mental resilience and stress management.In addition to its mental health benefits, mindfulness meditation has also been linked to improved physical health. Studies have shown that it can lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, and boost the immune system.

After reading the following passages, you will find several questions or unfinished statements, numbered 31 through 50. For eachquestion or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice.Passage OneFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted,we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few—for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationship can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.31. According to the author, friends ______.A. are those who get on well with each otherB. are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC. must tolerate each other whatever they doD. are only those who are in need32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. When we make friends, we write down their age, race and economic condition.B. The shared interest between friends is very enormous.C. Every ordinary student can make 6 friends during his college life.D. It is not easy to make friends with those of a marked difference in age and background.33. In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ______.A. using the same frequency while talkingB. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD. having the same background34. According to the passage, ______.A. close friends depend on each otherB. friends never argue with each otherC. it takes time to become close friendsD. friends have no difference in interest35. It can be concluded that ______.A. common experiences and emotions can lead to mutual supporting and understandingB. friendship is bound by each other’s supporting powerC. there must be a promise to bond the association between peopleD. people of different age, race and social background can never be good friendsPassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate. Each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of 36 courses, each lasts for a semester. A typical course consists of 3 classes per week for 15 weeks. While attending a university, a student will probably have 4 or 5 courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take 4 years, attending 2 semesters each year; it is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a long period. It is also possible for a student to move from one university to another during his degree course, though this is not in fact one as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is a variable for the student to show to the prospective employers. All this impose a constant pressure and strain of work affairs. Election’s positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who I thought to have broken the rule, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.36. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.A. 36B.12C.20D. 1537. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in another universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get two degrees from two different universities38. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ______.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe the university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority39. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ______.A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions will help them get better jobs.D. such positions are usually well paid40. The student organizations seem to be affective in _______.A. dealing with the academic of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students performance by bring them to a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeReading, so we're told, is fundamental to a child's education. But trying to get good books — not just the classics but also worthy contemporary works — into young hands is increasingly providing a bit of problems. Spotty teacher training, lack of library assistance (if not lack of libraries themselves) and fear of controversy all help push teachers toward outdated or inadequate book choices. Those who fight back have to take the risk of losing their jobs or even being taken to court. And the old reliable volumes aren't necessarily a shelter either. Such classics as The Grapes of Wrath and Catcher in the Rye are still frequently the object of parental protests.Supporters of more contemporary and challenging books say they energize kids and spur discussions about social realities that may already be affecting the classroom or community. Yet where should the line be drawn? Debbi Grizzi was stunned when she opened her 12-year-old’s backpack and discovered A Need to Kill, a graphic account of a child killer who fantasizes about murdering boys. "There has to be some check on what children are reading," she argues.Yet even the books parents love are gradually losing their universality. Mary Brigid Barrett, a famous writer, says she always has to stop and explain Charlotte's Web to teaching students, since half of them tend not to know it. "What is shocking is that nobody in education is willing to say there are writers, poems, essays and books all Americans should read," says education expert Diane Ravich. And less incentive for adventurous teachers to look for new ones.41. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.A. it's difficult to find a proper book for children nowadaysB. some teachers dare not to use new contemporary booksC. some parents are against the use of some classic booksD. it's reliable to use those classic books42. Teachers who venture to use some new books may ____.A. be scolded by the parentsB. do better in their teachingC. be taken to courtD. attract more students43. "Spotty" in the first paragraph means ____.A. unevenly doneB. dirtyC. inadequateD. poor44. "They" in the second paragraph refers to ____.A. supportersB. teachersC. more contemporary and challenging booksD. classic works45. It can be inferred that Charlotte's Web used to be ____.A. very popular among childrenB. a book parents loved to readC. a book prohibited by the governmentD. very difficult to understandPassage FourIf you can't see the point of the structure of the back wheel on a bicycle, try riding a unicycle or watch an ant colony. Ants have realized that, to carry a heavy load, two supports are better than one — even if they seem quite mismatched.When army ants want to carry a piece of food too big for a single ant to transport, an unusually large worker ant takes the front, and an unusually small one, the back. Two such ants can carry a load heavier than the sum of their individual abilities.An ant pair is like a bicycle wheel. The small rear shifts the center of gravity between the two ends, making the whole system much more stable.This is another example of how social insects rely on the colony to pass on genes that drive them to evolve sophisticated cooperation. Teamwork makes the most of the colony's workforce.How big and little ants team up is a mystery. Army ant lines move at a constant rate; an ant struggling with a piece of meat bigger than it can manage might attract helpers by causing traffic congestion. And the alliances aren't permanent. They break up and do something else rather than go around together looking for another piece of food equally well suited to their capabilities as a couple.46. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.A. the principle of bicycle can be reflected on antsB. riding a bicycle is like watching an ant colonyC. the back wheel on a bicycle is very importantD. ants can carry heavy loads47. An ant pair ____.A. must be made up of two ants of similar sizeB. can roll on the ground like a wheelC. usually consists of a big ant and a small oneD. are arranged by the queen ant48. The ant pair can move on steadily because ____.A. the ground is smoothB. the load is not heavyC. the rear ant shifts the gravity of the loadD. the front ant has a bigger strength49. Which of the following statements is true?A. An ant pair is usually fixed.B. Scientist still cannot explain why ants look mismatched in an ant pair.C. Only human beings know cooperation.D. Ants usually go out to search for food in pairs.50. An ant may not ____.A. team up with another antB. try to attract helpers when necessaryC. pass on genes that make them evolve cooperationD. be attached to the same partner all the timePart IV Translation (20 points, 2 points for each)Section A Translate the following English into Chinese.51.The exchange of goodwill missions greatly contributes to a better understanding between thetwo countries.52. Working parents gladly trade their shopping time for more time with their family.53. You can air your opinions, but don’t try to impose your ideas on others.54.

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questionsor 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.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghananian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”Taxi drivers were uniformly (一致地) sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my pl an to burn down my boss’s house, “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red skin mask and holding a stuffed (塞满的) pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing(招呼) a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb (一流的) assistance I received.“Is anyone following us?”“No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.“Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000.”“$25,000?” he asked.“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”“No, man. I w ork 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” H is reluctance may have something to do with money — taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.21. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.A. he was not caring about the killingB. he was frightened to hear what the writer saidC. he thought the writer was a criminalD. he thought the writer was crazy22. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride?A. H e didn’t want to help the writer get over his career crisis.B. He was in a hurry to go home and relax.C. The place was far away.D. He thought the writer was going to kill himself.23. What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “to wa it outside the Chemical Bank”?A. The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.24. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.B. They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.D. They work only for money.25. The passage mainly discusses ___________________.A. how to please taxi ridersB. how to deal with taxi ridersC. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal troubleD. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards the governmentQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America’s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U. S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U. S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall(意外之财) in tax revenue, royalties(开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice,” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output — and just 3% of the nation’s.26. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A.It will increase America’s energy consumption.B.It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.C.It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D.It will help secure the future of ANWR.27. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A. shows little interests in tapping oil in ANWRB. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi ArabiaC. tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilD. believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields28. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that_______.A. it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionB. it can do little to solve U. S. energy problemsC. it can cause serious damage to the environmentD. it will not have much commercial value29. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A. Don’t be too optimistic.B. Don’t expect fast returns.C. The oil drilling should be delayed.D. Oil exploitation takes a long time.30. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth ________.A. involves a lot of technological problemsB. remains a controversial issueC. is expected to get under way soonD. will enable the U. S. to be oil independentQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Although suicide rates around the world are about three times higher for men than women, evidence is mounting that in developing countries in Asia, suicide is far more common among young women than men.In a study this week in The Lancet medical journal, researchers give the first picture of suicide among young people in India. In a region near Vellore in southern India, more than twice as many young womenaged 10 to 19 committed suicide as men in the same age group. The study found the average suicide rate for women in that age group was 148 per 100,000, compared with 58 suicides per 100,000 men. Globally, the suicide rate for men is about 24 per 100,000, and about 6.8 per 100,000 for women.Experts say the latest study was based on too few suicides to be certain the observed rates are valid, but added that the research shows suicide is vastly underreported in the developing world.One of the major differences between suicide in the West and in developing countries is the method. It is known from studies in the West that more women than men attempt suicide, but fewer succeed.Usually, women in Western countries attempt suicide by slashing their wrists or swallowing pills, both methods that are treatable. In rural India, the methods are hanging, poisoning with lethal insecticides that are banned in many other parts of the world and setting oneself on fire. All three are difficult to survive.Some of the pesticides, widely kept in rural homes, kill within three hours. For women trying to kill themselves in the countryside, where there is no transportation and sometimes no roads, it is often too late by the time they reach a hospital.There are a few theories why young Asian women are committing suicide at such a high rate.“It could be because of lack of education, conflicts surrounding the issue of arranged marriages, love failures, dowries and things like that,”said Dr. Lakshmi Vijayakumar, who runs the Sneha Suicide Prevention Center in Chennai, in the Madras region of India.Overall in India, male suicides start to outnumber the women as they get older, said Vijayakumar, who was not involved with the latest study.Once the women have children, they become emotionally and psychologically stronger and the suicide rate goes down, she said.31. According to the latest research, the average suicide rate around the world is ______ that of thedeveloping countries concerning about the gender factor.A. similar toB. the same asC. irrelevant toD. different from32. Comparatively speaking, the suicide rate around the world for men is ______ higher than it forwomen.A. more than twiceB. more than three timesC. twiceD. more than one time33. Experts’ attitude toward the latest study in Vellore in southern India is _______.A. totally agreeableB. oppositeC. criticalD. extreme 34. In rural India, women often attempt suicide by the following means except _______.A. poisoning with pesticidesB. setting oneself on fireC. swallowing pillsD. hanging35. The factors influencing the phenomenon that young Asian women are committing suicide at such ahigh rate DO NOT include ________.A. educationB. emotionC. egoismD. marriage issuesQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, not least because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future.” They featured unconventional styling and things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline, it plays music. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.But guess what? All of these things are subjected to change in the not-so-distant future. It will still go and stop, but it may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.Airbags aren’t the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions (碰撞), they obviously still need some development. But they aren’t going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.Better than systems to minimize injury in the event of an accident, however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place. Future cars may be able to eliminate many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, tailgating and sleepiness. Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver’s system and prevent the car from being started, for example. Many accidents are caused by people following the car in front too closely. As early as next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you’re closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle. For city streets, expect other radar devices that will give advance warning that the car in front of you has slowed abruptly and you should step on the brakes — or that may even brake for you.Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There’s no reason to think it won’t be technically possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented (代表) on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the5United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.51.

The Culture and Customs of America6Passage 2A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?”he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish .…”He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,”the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?”the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’vebeen trying to tell you about.”7Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.56. The street urchin was very surprised when ________.A. Paul received an expensive carB. Paul told him about the carC. he saw the shining carD. he was walking around the car57.

The urchin asked Paul to stop his car in front of his house ________.A. to show his neighbors the big carB. to show he had a rich friendC. to let his brother ride in the carD. to tell his brother about his wish59.

Paul couldn’t understand the urchinB. the urchin had a deep love for hisbrotherC. the urchin wished to have a rich brotherD. the urchin’s wish came true in theend60. Paul gave the brothers a ride probably because _________.A. he was free during the Christmas holidayB. he thought he should help allcrippled peopleC. he was moved by the older brother’s wishD. he wanted to take them to buyChristmas giftsPassage 38Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard (⽆意中听到) our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”61. From the passage, we understand that ____________.A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC. the author received the same education as most people during his childhoodD. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting62. According to the author, ______________.9A. giving means you will have less moneyB. the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC. you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD. when you give away money, you will be rich63. The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper ______________.A. in writingB. in personC. in the window displayD. about the neighborhood64. When the author needed a post-office box, _______________.A. he had to put his name on a waiting listB. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC. many people had applied for post-office boxes before himD. he asked the postmaster to make one for him65. In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said _____________.A. it was the special deliveryB. it was the post-office boxC. it was the note of appreciation he wroteD. it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPart V Translation (10%).66. 房⼦着⽕了，⾥⾯的⼈⾯临着死亡的危险。

He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you wri te?”The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind.
