最新2012年出版自考《英语二》教材自测答案和解析
教材自测(一)答案和解析Self-Assessment 1(教材182页)第一部分:阅读判断1.[解析]文章第一段中提到了应聘者提出的几个问题:What are my...my hobbies ,由此可以看出他们关注的更多是公司给予的“假期”待遇,而非工作本身带来的经历、价值和成长空间等。
所以题干的说法是正确的。
答案为A。
2.[解析]第二段第一句就说到Good work...work experience,即好的工作态度、习惯和技术来自工作经历而非在学校可以学到。
所以题干说法是错误的。
答案为B。
3.[解析]第二段第三行讲到I would enter our barnyard...the milking barn,即需要给10至12只奶牛挤奶,至于说是不是一共有12头牛,或者父母会帮忙给余下的其他奶牛挤奶,文章并未提及。
答案为C。
4.[解析]第二段最后讲到父母每天早晨都会对奶牛问好,Good 's good to seeyou!然后后面提到I didn't feel quite the same way,这说明作者和父母的感受不同,不愿意清早起床挤牛奶。
答案为A。
5.[解析]第三段最后一句提到It made me...to the road, 所以作者是将牛奶捅提到路边等待。
牛奶厂的人来接货,而没提到运到集市去卖。
答案为C。
6.[解析]第四段首句提到My father and mother...helped me with milking the cows ,即我的父母经常帮我一起挤牛奶,所以题干中说“我经常独自一人挤牛奶”是错误的。
答案为B。
7.[解析]第四段倒数第二句指出To my father...as it may seem ,即对于父亲来说,挤牛奶看上去并没有那么复杂。
unsophisticated意为不复杂的、简单的,与complicated(复杂的)语义相反。
因此题干说法是错误的。

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions.Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage OneBike trailers are now becoming a popular mode of transportation. If you are wondering what a bike trailer is, it is a motorless wheeled frame attached to your bicycle. Its primary function is to help the bike rider in carrying additional load.Instead of carrying the load on the bike, it can now be carried on the bike trailer which greatly reduces the strain placed on the bike. It is convenient, easy to use and it helps you live an active lifestyle.Bike trailers are an alternative to carrying different sorts of loads. Instead of using your car to go to the nearby grocery store perhaps, why not use your bike trailer? It not only saves you money from the gas which should have been spent by your car, it also does the job of carrying your groceries.Planning to get a bike trailer? Make sure to decide on what you are going to use it for first. Different bike trailers are made for different uses. There are a variety of bike trailers being commercially manufactured.The general trailers available in the market today are the general cargo trailer which is used to carry different sorts of loads from groceries to furniture, child passenger trailer which is used to carry a child, pet trailer which is used to carry cats or dogs, and canoe trailers which are used to carry long and narrow loads like canoes and surfboards.If you want a trailer to carry cargo all around, then a cargo trailer would definitely suit your needs. If you want to take your child along with you while you ride your bike, then check out the different child trailers available in the market.There are two types of bike trailers in the market today based on the number of wheels. The first is the single wheel trailer which can carry light to medium loads. It is popular among hikers since it is great for trail riding and narrow surfaces. It is also stable when making sharp turns at high speeds. The other type of trailer is the two-wheel trailer which obviously has two wheels. It can carry heavier loads than the single wheel type. When making sharp turns at high speeds it may roll over, so be sure to slow down before making the turns.Caring for your bike trailer is easy and comparable to that of a bike. Cleaning the trailer requires water, soap and wax. Regularly check the tires for abnormalities like low air pressure or wear and tear for this may cause accidents.When you are out riding in your bike trailer, keep in mind that it is different from riding a bike. The responses are different. You may notice that your bike may be a bit unresponsive due to the extra load.Be sure to take trial runs in non-busy roads to get you acquainted with the newriding conditions.Riding at night is more dangerous than riding during the daytime. Make sure that you have a front light and a rear light and that both are switched on. Be sure also to have front, back and side reflectors so that you would always be visible to traffic.41. The passage mentions all the following aspects about a bike trailer EXCEPT ______.A.its maintenance B.its priceC.its definition D.its uses42. Which of the following is an advantage of a bike trailer over a car?A.It can help reduce the weight on your riding.B.You don’t have to check the tires regularly.C.You don’t have to spend money on gas.D.It can carry groceries for you.43. A two-wheel trailer should be a better choice than a single wheel trailer when ______.A.you carry heavy loadsB.you ride on a narrow surfaceC.your additional load is not heavyD.you make a sharp turn at high speed44. Which of the following is a difference between riding in a bike trailer and riding a bike?A.You need to check the tires regularly for a bike trailer.B.It is easier to ride in a trailer than riding a bike.C.A trailer requires water and wax for cleaning.D.A trailer cannot react as quickly as a bike.45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To provide information about bike trailers.B.To advertise for a new mode of transportation.C.To arouse your interest in more active lifestyle.D.To advise you to be careful when riding in a bike trailer.Passage 2Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother over in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months, he had grown to hate them.Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they enjoyed game-playing, and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough—but then there was all the moaning afterwards. “The usual people say the usual things.” “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.” “I was thinking of making a suggestion—but I couldn’t be bothered.”As this morning’s meeting began, Martin braced himself for the usual moroseness (闷闷不乐) and monotony. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London—he had had to sit over the wing and the noise was terrible. But, as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.He realized—to his amazement—that he could hear what his colleagues were thinking as well as what they were saying. As he concentrated still harder, he found that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be unpopular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions, based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying …?” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” He was aware that his colleagues were unsettled by how insightful these interventions were. They looked at him mystified.In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly-acquired talent.Given more confidence now, Martin forgot his usual misery at participating in such meetings and began making comments of his own. However, he became aware that some of his colleagues were looking at him totally confused.One or two even had a gentle smile playing on their lips. Only gradually did it dawn on them—he could hear their thoughts and they were not really saying what they were thinking.As the meeting progressed, Martin became aware of changes to the tone and style of the event. It was clear to him now that, one by one, each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of all the others and this was subtly changing how they interacted with one another. The game-playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.The meeting ended.As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.”“All meetings should be like that.” “In future, I’m going to say what I think.”46. Why did Martin hate the team meetings?A.His colleagues were making stories.B.His colleagues complained too much.C.His colleagues pretended to be friendly.D.His colleagues held back their true feelings.47. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “braced himself for” in Paragraph 3 ?A.prepared himself for B.adapted himself toC.concemed himself about D.persuaded himself into48. With the strange power of being able to hear what others were thinking and saying, Martinrealized that______.A.he had been cheatedB.he was lucky to know the truthC.people didn’t mean what they saidD.people were unwilling to work there49. Which of the following can be expected at future team meetings?A.Everyone will be cooperative. B.Everyone will be straightforward.C.Everyone will be respectful. D.Everyone will be considerate.50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.A Mysterious Power B.A Meeting of MindsC.Trust Means All D.Unity Is Success非选择题部分注意事项:用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上,不能答在试题卷上。

I. Reading Comprehension (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then blacken the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Passage One From time to time, we need an expert. In such situations, the Internet has been like a gift from the gods. In the old days, authorities were near at hand for expert advice: the village seamstress on how to make a buttonhole, the blacksmith on how to take care of a horse’s hooves, or the apothecary on what to do about warts. On the Internet, advice and answer sites are popping up all over the place, with self-proclaimed experts at the ready. claims to have “tens of thousands of experts who can help you,”while the more restrained , owned by The New York Times, limits its pitch to “Ask Anything! Real People. Real Answers.” It’s said that expert sites or knowledge networks represent t he latest stage in the Internet’s evolution, a “democratization of expertise.” However, if your question is about something other than “Who invented the light bulb?”, the answers are likely to be a wild potpourriof personal opinions. Top colleges and universities are rushing into online education, but the big news is the proliferation of a new breed of for-profit online institutions bringing Internet education to the masses.“The Internet will probably be the single most democratizing force in education,”says Columbia Business School Dean Meyer Feldberg, who envisions educational programs being routed through the net to hundreds of millions of people. The largest online institution is the University of Phoenix, with some 6,000 students today and hopes of reaching 200,000 students in 10 years. The university offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business management, technology, education, and nursing. The university notes that its degree programs cost far less and may take some students far less time to complete. On the other hand, a Business Week survey of 247 companies found that only a handful would consider hiring applicants who earned their MBA degrees online.Whether that will change as for-profit online universities improve their offerings and graduates prove their worth-is anyone’s guess. The rest of the world is moving into cyberspace more slowly than the United States, and, in the developing world, the Internet has hardly penetrated at all. UN Secretary-General KofiAnnan is determined to change this through the United Nations Information Technology Service, which will train large numbers of people to tap into the income enhancing power of the Internet. Annan is also proposing an Internet health network that will provide state-of-the-art medical knowledge to 10,000 clinics and hospitals in poor countries.Questions l-5 are based on Passage One.1. From the passage we may assume that the author______.A. trusts old days experts more than online onesB. believes that most of the online experts are qualifiedC. trusts the intelligence of large amounts of experts onlineD. believes that online experts can answer people’s questions better2. From paragraph 2 we can infer that the author’s attitude towards experts online is_________.A. excitedB. neutralC. doubtfulD. indifferent3. Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion towards the future of online education?A. People have to wait and see.B. It is predictable in future development.C. It cannot thrive without good management.D. People believe that it is doomed from the start.4. The underlined phrase“state-of-the-art” in paragraph 6 means______.A. advanced and in large quantityB. very creative and artisticC. skillful and attractiveD. very modern5. Kofi Annan’s United Nations Information Technology Service aims at ______.A. improving UN staff’s computer skillB. promoting the use of the Internet over the worldC. providing medical knowledge to poor hospitalsD. promoting the use of the Internet in the United StatesPassage Two Nowadays there is a remarkable consensus among educators and business and policy leaders on one key conclusion: we need to bring what we teach and how we teach into the 21st century. Right now we’re aiming too low. Competency in reading and math — the focus of so much No Child Left Behind (NCLB) testing – is the meager minimum. Scientific and technical skills are, likewise: utterly necessary but insufficient. Today’s eco nomy demands not only a high-**petence in the traditional academic disciplines but also what might be called 21st century skills. Here’s what they are: Knowing more about the world. Kids are global citizens now, even in small-town America, and they must learn to act that way. Mike Eskew, CEO of UPS, talks about needing workers who are“global trade literate, sensitive to foreign cultures, conversant in different languages” — not exactly strong points in the U.S., where fewer than half of high school students are enrolled in a foreign-language class and where the social-studies curriculum tends to fixate on U.S. history. Thinking outside the box. Jobs in the new economy —the ones that won’t get outsourced or automated –“put an enormous premium on creative and innovative skills, seeing patterns where other people see only chaos,” says Marc Tucker, an author of the **mission report and president of the National Centeron Education and the Economy. Traditionally that’s been an American strength, but school s have become less daring in the back-to-basics climate of NCLB. Kids also must learn to think across disciplines, since that’s where most new breakthroughs are made. It’s **binations — design and technology, mathematics and art –“that produce YouTube and Google,” says Thomas Friedman, the best-selling author of The World Is Flat.Becoming smarter about new sources of information. In an age of overflowing information and proliferating media, kids need to rapidly process what’s coming at them and distinguish between what’s reliable and what isn’t. “It’s important that students know how to manage it, interpret it, validate it, and how to act on it,” says Dell executive Karen Bruett, who serves on the board of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, a group of corporate and education leaders focused on upgrading American education. Developing good people skills. EQ, or emotional intelligence, is as important as IQ for success in today’s work place.‘‘Most innovations today involve large teams of people,” says fo rmer Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustine. “We have to **munication skills, the ability to work in teams and with people from different cultures.”Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.6.

Yet it was not until Thursday that the federal government offered its final plan to prevent the bird, the northern spotted owl, from going extinct. After repeated revisions, constant court fights andshifting science, the Fish and Wildlife Service presented a plan that addresses a range of threats to the owl, including some that few imagined when it was listed as a threatened species in 1990. The newer threats include climate change and the arrival of a formidable **petitor, the barred owl, in the soaring old-growth evergreens of Washington, Oregon and California where spotted owls nest and hunt. One experiment included in the plan: shooting hundreds of barred owls to see whether that helps spotted owls recover. Even after all these years since the spotted owl became the cause célèbre of the environmental movement, it is far from clear that the plan is a solution. Advocates on both sides say it will inevitably be challenged, and both sides have expressed frustration with the Obama administration on the issue. The spotted owl is declining by an average of 3 percent per year across its range. While some populations in Southern Oregon and Northern California are more stable, some of the steepest rates of decline are here in Washington. Some study areas in the Olympic and Cascade ranges show annual declines as high as 9 percent. The listing of the spotted owl as a threatened species led to a virtual ban on logging in many older federal forests, inspiring angry lawsuits and threats of violence by rural loggers against owl advocates, who often came from urban areas. “Nothing against the bird, but it’s wreaked a lot of havoc in the Pacific Northwest for the past 20 years,” said Ray Wilkeson, president of the Oregon Forest Industries Council, which represents loggers, sawmills and others in the industry. “A lot of human suffering has resulted from this. Now there’re new threats to the ow l that may be beyond anybody’s ability to control.” Although the plan does not map critical habitat — the mapping process is more than a year away **pletion, a fact that frustrates conservationists – it proposes expanding protections for owls beyond areas currently set aside. The existing areas were outlined by the Northwest Forest Plan, which was approved a year after President Clinton’s Timber Conference, revised under President George W. Bush to allow more logging and reinstated by the Obama administration. The American Forest Resource Council, a timber industry group, said the plan would impose “massive new restrictions on both federal and private lands.” But supporters say it will provide more wood for mills by increasing forest thinning and restoration work to battle threats like disease and fire that could increase with climate change. The plan would provide **panies incentives to create potential spotted owl habitat. Officials from the Forest Service and from the Bureau of Land Management, which oversee logging on federal land, expressed support for the plan. While timber advocates question protections for a bird that some say may be bound for extinction, conservationists say that it is too soon to give up on the spotted owl, and that the fight to save it has served broader benefits of the forest, from cleaner water and air to habitat for hundreds of other species, including endangered salmon. “The spotted owl is the icon,” Dr. Forsman said, “but there are a lot of other players in terms of species and protecting biodiversity in these forests.”Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11. The purpose of the new government plan is to______.A. save Northern spotted owlB. save the Northwest forestC. list environmental threats to the Northern spotted owlD. list the Northern spotted owl as a threatened species12. Which (from Paras. 3, 4) of the following is NOT true?A. The number of barred owls grows fast.B. The spotted owl is hunted in the forest.C. The number of spotted owls is in decline.D. The barred owl is a newcomer to the forest.13. Who doubt about the plan?A. Only timber advocates.B. Only owl advocates.C. Advocates from both urban and rural areas.D. Both owl advocates and timber advocates.14. Conservationists feel frustrated because______.A. the new mapping of habitat in the protection for owls is slow to completeB. the new mapping of habitat for owls will extend beyond presently set areasC. the revised Northwest Forest Plan under President Obama is maintainedD. President Bush revised Northwest Forest Plan and allowed more logging15. Dr. Forsman wanted to express in the last paragraph that_______.A. the spotted owl is a rare speciesB. there are a lot of other players in the forestC. the spotted owl needs protectionD. some other species are equally importantPassage Four If you’ve ever been pranked on April Fools’ Day, you may wonder how this tradition started. Well, you’re not alone. No one knows for sure how April Fools’ Day began. But the most likely explan ation has to do with the calendar. No, that’s not an April Fools’ Day joke. People used to celebrate New Year’s Day on April lst. Just like today, people would have big parties to celebrate. Over time, the calendar changed and so did the date for New Ye ar’s. In the 1500s, the new calendar marked New Year’s Day as January lst. But because there was no Internet or other means to spread the word, the news traveled slowly by word of mouth. It took a while for everyone to hear about the change, and even then some people resisted it. They continued to celebrate New Year’s on April lst. These people were given the nickname“April fools”. People following; the new calendar played tricks on the “April fools” by sending them on“ fool’s errands”. They had the “April fools” deliver invitations to big New Year’s celebrations that weren’t really going to happen. In France, “April fools” were called “Poisson d’Avril”, which is French for “April Fish”. This began because people thought fish were easy to catch since they could be fooled into taking the bait on a hook. Children would tag a paper fish on a person’s back to mark them as an “April Fish”. When the person discovered the fish, the prankster would yell “Poisson d’Avril”. Not everyone is convinced that this is a ctually how the tradition of April Fools’Day began. People have tried to pinpoint the exact date of the first April Fools’ Day, but this only led to more pranks. A professor from Boston University pranked a reporter by making up a story about a court jester who said he could run the empire better than the king. The jester was made king for a day on April lst. This turned out to be a big April Fools’ Day trick because the reporter thought the story was real. Even though we aren’t sure how this tradition began, people still celebrate April Fools’ Day by playing tricks on each other. So the next time you prank someone and yell “April Fools!” remember that the day may actually be about the people who didn’t want to change their traditions when the new calend ar was adopted. Or maybe it’s just a day to celebrate the joker in all of us.Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four16. If you prank somebody, it means you______.A. play card with that personB. win a trick over that personC. play a trick on that personD. know a trick of that person17. In the 1500s, who were given the nickname “April fools”?A. People who were not smart enough.B. People who didn’t know when April Fools’ Day was.C. People who celebrated New Year’s Day o n January lst.D. People who refused to recognize New Year’s Day as January lst.18. On April lst, children in France used to______.A. place paper fish on other people’s backsB. wear paper fish on their backsC. buy a new calendarD. go boat fishing19. What does the underlined word errand mean in paragraph 3?A. A small gift sent to somebody.B. A short trip to get something done.C. A brief trip to send invitation cards.D. A short message sent to somebody.20. What is the author’s purpose for writing this article?A. To tell readers how April Fools’ Day is celebrated.B. To remind readers that April Fools’ Day is coming up.C. To teach readers about the history of April Fools’ Day.D. To persuade readers into celebrating April Fools’ Day.Passage Five You may a ready know that hurricanes are major tropical storms that can cause devastating waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season”, which is from June lst until November 30th in th e Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean. A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical disturbance, which has thunderstorms and rotating winds, or what scientists call cyclonic circulation. Next is a tropical depression, which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour, the storm is officially classified as a hurricane. The winds pick up energy from the warm surface ocean water. As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to dissipate, or break apart and reduce in strength. This is because it is no longer over the warm ocean water that it needs for energy. At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding, but unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm. The center of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane contains dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people mig ht think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through. Can you imagine flying a plane through a hurricane? If you’re a hurricane hunter, it’s your job! Hurricane Hunters fly airplanes on weather missions to help the National Hurricane Center make predictions abouthurricanes. Pilots determine how fast the winds are blowing, how big the hurricane is, and which direction it’s moving. This helps people to be better prepared for hurricanes as they approach shore.Hurricanes can leave behind lots of destruction. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ripped through Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. This was the sixth windiest hurricane on record, and it was one of the deadliest hurricanes in history. It took l,833 lives and caused over 76 billion dollars in damages. Many people are surprised to learn that Katrina’s wind didn’t cause most of the damage. The wind had caused levees in New Orleans to break. When the levees broke, water from the Gulf of Mexico rushed into the low-lying land. Over 80% of the city of New Orleans was buried in flood water.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21. Which sequence of storm stages is in the correct order?A. Tropical depression, tropical disturbance, tropical storm, hurricane.B. Hurricane, tropical storm tropical depression, tropical disturbance.C. Hurricane, tropical depression, tropical storm, tropical disturbance.D. Tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane.22. What would you observe if you were in the eye of a hurricane?A. Very heavy rain.B. Very little wind.C. Strong and spinning winds.D. Strong winds and heavy rain.23. What happens when a hurricane crosses over land?A. It breaks apart and forms tornadoes.B. It gathers more vapor from land.C. It moves more quickly.D. It loses strength.24. What does a hurricane hunter do?A. Fly airplanes through hurricanes.B. Help people find a safe place to stay.C. Issue warnings to notify people of danger.D. **puters to predict the paths of hurricanes.25. What caused the most destruction during Hurricane Katrina in 2005?A. Houses being blown away.B. Floods due to breaking levees.C. Heavy rain due to Hurricane Katrina.D. People going outdoors during the storm.非选择题部分注意事项:用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上,不能答在试题卷上。

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you shouldthink about. By“green”we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures(宣传册),read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn 't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier.These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a lttle bit towards saving the environment, too!1.When planning holidays, few people will think about being greenA. TrueB. FalseC.
