We don’t know if either story is true,but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born,Kinderhook, New York. Van Bruen’s friends organized a club to help him become President.They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”.11. The author .A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC.is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12. According to the passage, President Jackson .A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t good at reading,writing or spelling13. According to the first story, the term “OK” .A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC.was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct”14. According to the second story, the term “OK” .A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Va n Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election15.According to the second story, the term “OK” was first usedA. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD.by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical smalltownmay represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs ) of more than a million people each – a large proportion than in Germany or English, let alone France. The statistics(统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues,rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?A. About 25 million.B. More than 25 millionC. Less than 25 millionD. Less than 225 million17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?A. the United States.B. GermanyC. France.D. England18. What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?A. Of a large city with its suburbs.B. Of small and large towns.C. Of urban areas.D. Of rural areas.19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. Small towns are still similar to each other.C.As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D. Small towns are turning into large cities.20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?A. Because they are the same.B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.C. Because the process is gradual.D.Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa,because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A.“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D.Where there are no written records, there is no history.22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago becauseA. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD.the people there did not know how to write23. “Remembered history” refers to .A. history based on a person’s imaginationB.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC.songs and danced about the most important eventsD.both B and C24. “Remembered history” is regarde d as valuable only whenA. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people hadA. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage 1When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the question,“Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their l ives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation oftenrequires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day.In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.11. The Vienna survey may help to explain .A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list someA. benefits of walkingB. occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city peopleD. problems of city living13. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful .A. to take the elevatorB. to walk up the stairsC. to ride in a carD. to find an alternative to walking14. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because .A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need the exerciseC. they never have parking problemsD. they can’t afford to take the bus15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is thatA. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to the cityD. walking is healthful exercise Passage 2For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well- known proverbs and quotations. Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed sinceShakespeare’s day.16. English people .A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB.never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC. are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest dramatist17. Every Englishman knows .A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer18. Which of the following is true?A. We use all the words, phrases and qu otations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.D.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.19. What does the word “proverb ” mean?A. Familiar sayings.B. Shakespeare’s plays.C. Complaints.D. Actors and actresses.20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A. Engl ish words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s timeD. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage全国高校网络教育大学英语统考(B)试题及答案(3)Part I I 阅读理解(2)Passage 3Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers. Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships,with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious:for where there are trees, their roots break the soilup, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.21. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can .A.keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods22. It’s a great pity that .A. man is only interested in building empiresB. man is eager to profit from treesC. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear .A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them24. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “”.A.to wash awayB.to make wetC.to make stay togetherD.to improve25. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can .A. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 1Dr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron lizard(蜥蜴)in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw.After he had recovered from his injury, he caught a squirrel and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creatures from the woods near his school.In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology. By 1966 he had received his Bachelor of Science degree and two years later at Drysdale University, he received his Doctor of Science degree. It was while he was doing field research for his doctoral studies in South America in 1967 that he discovered and named the Kamron lizard. This animal was different from others of its kind in that it had only four toes on its front feet. In other respects, it was similar to others of the same family. It could change its color and go for long periods without food.11. Of the four statements, which one best indicates the author’s idea?A. Dr. Gates is a scientist who can always attract the public attention to his research.B. Dr. Gates is a very famous scientist, though he wanted to be a sportsman at first.C. Dr. Gates is a scientist who always carries a notebook with him wherever he goes.D. Dr. Gates is a very popular for his determination to become a baseball player.12. In the first paragraph of the passage, the phrase “in practice” means “” .A. while doing some practical workB. while studying animalsC. while making up his mind to become a baseball playerD. while playing baseball13. In the second paragraph, the word “creatures” can best be replaced by “”.A. peopleB. thingsC. animalsD. living things14. It was that Dr. Gates discovered the Kamron lizard.A. after he had graduated from Drysdale UniverstityB. right after he had finished his study for the doctor’s degreeC. after he had received his highest degreeD.during the time when he was studying for the doctor’s degree15. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of the Kamron lizard?A. It possesses four toes on its front feet.B. It can live a long while without eating.C. It may go for weeks without drinking.D. It is capable of changing colors. Passage 2I was due to take my driving test at 11:30 a.m. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 a.m., my heart sank. My driving instructor,Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit,but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking.We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous.Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn’t-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in tocall out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car.I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.16. On their way to the test center, Stan tried to comfort the authorA. but it made the author’s heart sink deeperB. but the words produced no effectC. so that the author could drive to the centre with no fearsD. so that they could prepare for all the traps17. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Six learners would be tested at the same time.B. The learners were tested in the presence of their instructors.C. None of the six learners passed the test in the end.D. The instructors were as nervous as the。

By the seventeenth century ithad stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille’s workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King’s letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions (贪污腐败) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King’s complete power.31. The Bastille became a prison ___________.A. since the time of Charles VB. since 1370C. in the seventeenth centuryD. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Anyone who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in theBastille.B. The Bastille was only for those who were opposed to the King.C. Things done in the Bastille were hardly known to people outside.D. Voltaire was twice put in the Bastille.33. At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed _____________.A. a large number of prisonersB. a lot of writers who had been against the governmentC. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinkingD. only a few prisoners34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for life.B. Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting biggerand bigger.C. The King could put people in or let them out of the Bastille as hewanted.D. At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that itmeant little to the people.35. This passage mainly ________________.A. tells how the prisoners were controlled by the KingB. tells how little was known about the BastilleC. shows the inner workings of the BastilleD. gives a brief history of the BastillePassage 2The resources of the library can be helpful evenwhen we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise (设计) a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equallyhelpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specificresources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware ofaresource andmay use it frequently andsuccessfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with aresource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available andto know how touseeach ofthese resources to help you solve theproblem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of informationthat they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available inprofessional journals or at professional meetings.It wouldoften be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us tolocate such information.36. The library resources can be helpful when we ______________.A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward musicB. are preparing a paper for a professional journalC. are writing a dissertationD. All of the above37. The familiarity of readers with different resources ____________.A. is more or less the sameB. varies slightlyC. differs greatlyD. should not be different38. The author believes that _______________.A. library resources should be used frequently and completelyB. library resources cannot be made good use of if they are not availableto usC. one is supposed to be aware of the library resources that are usuallynot availableD. one is supposed to have good knowledge and make good use of resources39. When educators wish to share some information with theircolleagues, theyoften __________.A. publish it in a professional journalB. get it from professional meetingsC. get access to it in the libraryD. make use of some library services40. The chapter where this passage is taken ______________.A. mainly deals with the ways of dissertation writingB. presents information on publishing papers in professional journalsC. introduces some library servicesD. describes some professional meetingsPassage 3What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity (容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.41. The size of man’s forehead will probably grow bigger because _______.A. he will use his brain more and more as time goes onB. he makes use only 20% of the brain’s capacityC. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesD. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time42. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.C. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.43. What will be true about a human being in the future?A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them.D.

In one sense there are as many different kinds of English as there are speakers of it. 61 two speakers speak in exactly the same way. We can always hear differences 62 them, and the pronunciation of English shifts a great deal in different geographical 63 . How do we decide what sort of English to use as a model? This is not a question that can be 64 in the same way for all foreign learnersof English.65 you live in a part of the world like India or West Africa, where thereis a long 66 of speaking English for general communication purpose, you should tend to acquire a good 67 of the pronunciation of this area. On the other hand, if you live in a country 68 there is no traditional use of English, you must take as your model some form of native English pronunciation.

We don‘tknow if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write ―all correct‖on it. The problem was that he didn ‘tknow how to spell, so what he really wrote was ―ol korekt ‖. After a while, he shortened that term to ―OK‖.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Bruen‘s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called―OK‖.11.The author C .A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn‘tbelieve a word of the storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12.According to the passage, President Jackson D.A. couldn ‘tdraw up any documents at allB. didn ‘tlike to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn ‘tgood at reading, writing or spelling13.According to the first story, the term ―OK ‖C.A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell ―all correct ‖14.According to the second story, the term ―OK ‖D.A. was the short way to say ―Old Kinderhook Club‖B. meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren ‘s clubD. was used to call Van Buren ‘s supporters in the election15.According to the second story, the term ―OK ‖was first used B.A. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the ―Old Kinderhook Club ‖Passage 2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food thanthe present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry( 林业 ), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may stillbe very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs ) of more than a millionpeople each –a large proportion than in Germany or English, let alone France. The statistics( 统计 ) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.16.If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture andforestry?CA. About 25 million.B. More than 25 millionC. Less than 25 millionD. Less than 225 million17.Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living inmetropolitan areas?CA. the United States.B. GermanyC. France.D. England18.What‘s the meaning of the word ―metropolitan ‖in the middle of the passage?AA. Of a large city with its suburbs.B. Of small and large towns.C. Of urban areas.D. Of rural areas.19.According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?BA.Most small towns become gradually crowded.B.Small towns are still similar to each other.C.As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D.Small towns are turning into large cities.20.Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?CA.Because they are the same.B.Because the rush takes place too quickly.C.Because the process is gradual.D.Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to saythat we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of whatwe did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we maycall ?remembered history ‘.Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21.Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?DA.―Remembered history‖, compared with written history, is less reliable.B.Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.C.A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.22.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because D.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23.―Remembered history ‖refers to D.A. history based on a person ‘s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and danced about the most important eventsD. both B and C24.―Remembered history ‖is regarded as valuable only when B.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now ifthe ancient people had A.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPart I I I语法与词汇选择题26.

Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city ‘s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ridein cars.11. The Vienna survey may help to explain.A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the cause of Mrs. Groeger ‘s deathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some.A. benefits of walkingB. occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city peopleD. problems of city living13. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful.A. to take the elevatorB. to walk up the stairsC. to ride in a carD. to find an alternative to walking14. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because.A. they don ‘tlive near business areasB. they don ‘tneed the exerciseC. they never have parking problemsD. they can ‘tafford to take the bus15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that.A. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to the cityD. walking is healthful exercisePassage 2For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world ‘s greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare ‘s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well- known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare‘s day.16. English people.A. have never discussed who is the world ‘s greatest dramatistB. never discuss any issue concerning the world ‘s greatest dramatistC. are sure who is the world ‘s greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world ‘s greatest dramatist17. Every Englishman knows.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all Shakespeare‘s writingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer18.Which of the following is true?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare‘s writings.B.Shakespeare‘s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speakEnglish.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.D.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.19.What does the word ―proverb ‖mean?A. Familiar sayings.B. Shakespeare‘s plays.C. Complaints.D. Actors and actresses.20.Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare ‘s timeB.By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare‘s timeD.Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.Passage 3Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought ( 干旱 ) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.21.Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways,the most important of which is that theycan.A. keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods22.It ‘s a great pity that.A. man is only interested in building empiresB. man is eager to profit from treesC. man hasn‘trealized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn‘tfound out that he has lost all trees23.Sooner or later the forests will disappear.A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them24.The word ―bind ‖in Paragraph 5 means ―‖.A. to wash awayB. to make wetC. to make stay togetherD. to improve25.When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can.A. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPart I I I语法与词汇选择题26.TOEFL is a test for students native language is not English.A. thatB. of whomC. whoseD. which27.He told me how he had given me shelter and protection without which I of hunger.A. would be diedB. would dieC. would have diedD. will die28.This article deals with the natural phenomenon which most interesting to everyone.A. areB. isC. they areD. it is29.He studied hard in his youth,contributed to his great success in later life.A. thatB. itC. whatD. which30.The population of many Alaskan cities has doubled in the past three years.A. large thanB. as great asC. more thanD. as many as31.He‘s determined to finish the job long it takes.A. no matterB. howeverC. whereverD. whatever32.Hardly ever get a good job these days without a good education.A. people mightB. people canC. do peopleD. have people33.Nowhere else in the world more attractive scenery than in Switzerland.A. you can findB. is foundC. can you findD. has been found34.Children learn best by studying at their own.A. rateB. speedC. paceD. growth35.The committee is due to its report by the end of this year.A. releaseB. relieveC. relateD. retain36.She‘s an only child, but they didn ‘treally her.A. hurtB. damageC. spoilD. harm37.His parents him the opportunity to go to university.A. ignoredB. neglectedC. refusedD. denied38.all our efforts to save the school, the authorities decided to close it.A.

A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was onlocation, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story-not through dialogue, but through visual images(视觉影象).
