Which is more important for a college student, specialized knowledge or a wide range of learning.A1: It is universally acknowledged that our world is developing rapidly, and an unique skill for a person is indispensible. With a well specialized knowledge in a certain field, there is an army of graduates who have found a pleasant job, get promoted, or initiated one’s own career successfully. Among millions of undergraduates who are now enjoying and have so far benefited tremendously from specialized university studies, We are inclined to the notion that the specialized knowledge is far more important than a wide range of learning.B1: First, I admit that your statement to the issue is very wonderful. Have you ever notice the fact that obtaining all sorts of knowledge on a wide range of subjects guarantees one’s job opportunity in such a competitive world, many large corporations prefer a person with a wide range of knowledge. The wider the range of knowledge you have, the more angles you can receive to view the world , and surely the better prospective you will have. So we’re convinced that equipped with a wide rangeA2: To your statement we just have to disapprove. As we all know, a decent salary and a high-ranking position wouldn’t be offered to one who were in lack of proficiency on the subject which requires extremely specialized skills related to his job. In a specific field, only when we are enabled to have specialized knowledge can we achieve our ultimate goals. For example, doctors should be professional if they want to make an operation successfully. The pilot should also know explicitly how to control the plane when a safelanding is required.B2: In my opinion, you just misunderstood our views. We mean a wide range is much more important than the specialized one, and we haven’t denied the significance of specialized knowledge.A1:As you said, you haven’t denied the importance of specialized knowledge. We have reasons to doubt whether you have the suspicion to support our opinions. Even if what you said is true, first, how can you convince us the fact that the diverse works in the world are divided into so many sorts, instead of one or two universal ones. And second, have you ever heard the fact that Bill Gates started his Microsoft relying on a wide range of knowledge without specialized knowledge in computer programming?B1: Surely, we are stick close to our standpoint. What we stressed on is the key words “more important”. We maintained, It is a noteworthy fact that a high percentage of people are not working in their majors, which indicates that they devote themselves to some field that they were not specialized in. Meanwhile, it is not very likely for one to find a perfectly suitable work while beginning to search for jobs. If one has acquired diverse knowledge in university, he can easily find a position where he may apply what he has learned.A2: Well, we are firmly convinced that the fact is not as what you’ve just confessed. Whether we can well adapt to the world is not depend on how wide the r ange of knowledge you’ve aquired is, but the degree of the knowledge you’ve handled. students who specialize in one field can be more professional than those who receive comprehensive education when they graduate and those well-trained "experts" might be more welcomed by the society. So it’s “it’s better to master one than engage ten”.B2: We thought we should debate according to the fact. The main reason why I put forward the idea is that taking classes in different subjects can guarantee students absorbing basic knowledge. A good example in this point is Harvard University, which divides the courses into seven areas, including foreign cultures, historical studies, literature and arts, moral reasoning, quantitative reasoning, science and social analysis. Each undergraduate must take some classes in every area to get credit. As the most renowned university in the world, Harvard, through this means, ensures that each student has certain basic knowledge in an aspect, which will be a powerful strength while competing with others. In this case, the importance of a wide range of knowledge is self-evident.In summary, the question ,which one is better between these two kinds of knowlege,c an not be answered in a nutshell. Defferent students like defferent patterns , and both of them are indispensable to our society.The Internet does more harm than good to students.A1: Good afternoon. I’m presenting the side that Internet does more good than harm to students. I hold the view that the internet has enabled people to communicate with others all over the world. People can actually create a large number of friends via the web. The web is very good at putting people together with similar interests. And also we can keep in touch with our family members, friends, teachers and colleagues by email, forums, club like XIAONEI and company website. Due to the internet we can get connected to each other and every place easily.B1: Thank you for your excellent argument. However, if students depend too much on internet communication, soon they will stop telephoning each other and just QQ or MSN or XIAONEI chat to make friends and talking. They will be afraid to talk to people in real world once they are accustomed to virtual communication. So I consider that Internet impairs students’ communication skills. They might be totally different online and offline, because internet makes them feel more relaxed and they can pretend themselves whoever they want. When they take off this fake coat, they will feel uncomfortable and no desire to communicate with strangers in reality.A2: Well, I see your point clearly. No offense, but I wonder whether this could happen if there is a good supervise system. And, students nowadays are getting more and more extrovert. Internet is just offering them a stage to show themselves instead of pushing them away from the real world. And I’m convinced that we can get the information of anything in a few seconds. News is instantly available at the touch of a button. We can get informed of current affairs via major newspapers online. Meanwhile, it’s useful for research. People can use encyclopedia such as WIKI, YAHOO to broaden their horizon. The curriculum that has been offered online can help students a lot. They can gain from others' knowledge and experiences, participate in chat rooms, share ideas and solutions and learn about the many diverse cultures out there.B2: While I admit there is considerable information students can obtain online, however, due to this explosion of information, students can hardly distinguish the good ones and the bad ones. So I hold the view that the Internet, on the dark side, contains many harmful materials especially like propaganda, violence and untruths. There are thousands of pornographic sites on internet that can be easily found and can be detriment to letting children use the internet. Students, without guidance of adults, can easily be contaminated by such information and get addicted to it. Thus will influence their study and what’s wors e, lead them to violence and propaganda. This is the most serious problem Internet has brought to teenagers.A1: I take your point but I think students can have a clear definition of Cans and Cants. Although they do it, with good guidance, they can regard it correctly. Internet has brought them more than that, I consider that Internet also enhances entertainment and makes it relatively free. Music, pictures and video can all be shared via the Internet. We can download movies and video clips online without bothered to go out. Games are available, so there is an alternative for students to relax themselves.B1: What you argued is reasonable, but students can easily indulge themselves in Internet games and other recreations and abandon their study. It’s likely that they can become addicted to Internet where they can get relaxation and entertainment. So it’s my considered view that students may spend hours staring at the screen instead of doing their homework. The result is eye strain, headaches, obesity and psychological dependence. Children can use the internet too much and fail to improve themselves in study, practice and communication. It is a very time wasting activity for teenage boys and girls because their time is very precious and they can hardly get rid of it on their own.A2: There is a lot of truth in what you said, yet, students can learn to overcome the dependence when they are struggling with the addiction to Internet, for everyone wants to be excellent. Internet is only one way that can spare them a moment. If Internet is banned, there still will exist other means of addiction that do harm to students. So I’m convinced that Internet has helped people a lot in terms of commerce. Students can now purchase millions of products without ever visiting a store. This could vastly increase profits for a company and spare us a lot of time and money. At the same time, we can check our stocks without going out, find plane schedules and bookflights with a considerable discount. By scanning the pictures online, we can feel like travelling the world and experiencing different cultures.B2: Thanks for all of you to give your precious points on this topic. I’m now giving a conclusion. As we all know, there is no right answer to this question. On one hand, there are those who use Internet as a resource, use it as sparingly as possible, and find it to be very useful for doing well. On the other hand, there are those who misuse it and find it to be useful for doing harm and indulge themselves in it. Some of its effects could be seen as advantages or disadvantages, depending entirely on what the user wishes to view, how they look at it and how they deal with it. So I think every device is inborn neutral, what makes difference is us human beings. Only when we use it correctly, Internet can be brought the most to students as well as the world. Thank you!Should examinations be replaced with other forms of assessment?A1: Good afternoon. I’m presenting the side that examinations should be r eplaced with other forms of assessment. I’m convinced that in many less developed countries with a large population, final exams which could be a decisive matter for students’ future can definitely bring them a considerable stress. Some examinees have breakdowns and even in extreme cases attempt suicide because they cannot handle the pressure. Pressure can lead many bright students to under-perform, which can change their life completely. So they are bound to suffer a lot from stress brought by exams.B1: Thank you for your argument. However, what I cannot agree is that in most cases, pressure is just the impulse that can motivate students. So what I consider is that examination is a good way to find students limits and gives them a lot of confidence if they succeed. In some high-stakes testing cases, the pressure induces examinees to rise to meet the exam's high expectations. If one doesn’t succeed it means that he’s either not good enough or too lazy. So they just have to study harder the next time. Also, only those with real ability and great spirits can survive through pressure and gain success.A2: Well, what you argue might make sense, but how can we know a person’s ability only via examinations? The society has witnessed a numerous cases in which people with high marks in school cannot well adapt to society or lack ability in coping with real affairs and their work. Personally, I hold the view that exams test memory more than creativity and understanding. They are known to be subject to practice effects, and do not necessarily assess the accumulated learning of students during their schooling years. Many say that they have forgotten all that they learnt in school or, in other words, for exams. Exams are a waste of time and nerves, if students aren't interested in something, exams won't help them learn it either.B2: I see your point clearly; however, I wouldn’t go as far as that. Teenagers are in a rebellion state. Would they be willing to study by themselves if there weren’t examinations? As a result, I w ould say that exams give a good opportunity to check the knowledge quickly. Especially, when there is a rather large group of students. Students can compete with each other and find their own weakness through exams and finally make improvement. They can have a clear self-definition on how quick they are able to study and how well they handle the knowledge. It’s just a assessment that can help students learn more about themselves.A1: You are failing to see the point. It’s just because students are accustome d to examinations, they have lost the desire to self-study. If there were no such judgment like exams, they might have been satisfied learning what they are really interested in. Also, there is a severe problem brought by exams. that is cheating. On a multiple-choice test, lists of answers may be obtained beforehand. If students sit in proximity to one another, it is also possible to copy answers of other students. This is the worst of exams.B1: Well, while I agree with you on the whole, but will cheating be rooted out in other forms of assessment such as research paper, projects or essays? I don’t think so. On the contrary, it provides more space for examinees to cheat. Tests are less susceptible to cheating than other tools of learning evaluation. Laboratory results can be fabricated, and homework can be done by one student and copied by rote by others. In fact, exams are relatively fair in terms of assessment, especially when it’s in form of subjective questions. What’s more, students can supervise themselves and become independent in dealing with unknown situations.A2: In spite of what you said, I think perhaps exams are not always accurate in checking attainments. If a person knows only one examination question and nothing else and he gets this question at his exam. There is no doubt, the answer will be praiseworthy, but what about the knowledge? Through specialized training on material and techniques specifically created to suit the test, students can be "coached" on the test to increase their scores without actually significantly increasing knowledge of the subject matter. You spend your time and effort revising lots of information just so that you can remember it for the test. After the test, you can't remember a thing.B2: I would like all of you to give such fierce debating. Now it’s my turn to draw a brief conclusion. At present, many schools, colleges, and universities assess their students by means of end-of-year written examinations.These can be very stressful and many students do fare worse in exams than in other forms of assessment. On the other hand, perhaps it is good training for later life when success depends on being able to deal with stress and perform well on big occasions. While some exams really don't make a lot of sense as they only test short-term memory, other exams are a good way to test how well a student understood a subject. Thank you!It is necessary for everyone to speak English.A1I hold the view that it is necessary for everyone to speak English.Firstly English enjoys a tremendous popularity all over the world and it is widely used in a extensive scope. If every one speak English, we can do our business and work on the scientific research project more smoothly thus bring huge benefits to us human beings. Secondly, cultural gap in the world is various. If we want to lead a more harmonious life we should find a common language to share our information and thoughts in order to get a better mutual understanding . Last but not least, the world is confronted with a lot of problems that need human to deal with together. The more we discuss with and comprehend each other, the larger and effective contribution we will make to solve these issues. As it is known to us ,discussions and comprehension are based on the same way of communication. Only when we are all speak English can we cooperate with each other better and come up with beneficial solutions.B1I must say I have no strong feelings about that everyone is necessary to speak English. As there are so many different language around us ,English is just one way to communicate ,not only. In my opinion, I declare that I am not opposed to learning English。

(完整版)大一英语上学期期末考试试卷
(完整版)大一英语上学期期末考试试卷2022级高校英语第一学期期末考试(A卷)Jan., 2022Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneScience is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience.It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues tobe examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.21. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to state that ____________.A) most scientific discoveries are not reliableB) mass media is misleading because it looks at the research results onlyC) scientific research is a process filled with reverses and requiresslow and patientworkD) repeated experiments are necessary before medicine can be used in patients22. Publication of a scientific finding signifies __________.A) a challenge to fellow scientists to prove it wrongB) the end of a processC) the beginning of a new scientific inquiryD) the soundness of the result23. Einstein’s words are used to show that he thought___________.A) experiments have proved him rightB) scientists do not need so many experimentsC) one experiment is not enough to prove him wrong.D) scientific ideas are never free from challenge24. NASA’s announcement of the discovery of evidence of ancient life on Mars shows _________.A) the way human beings learn about natureB) the failure of the scientific methodC) the fruitlessness of human search for life on another worldD) the excitement brought by scientific findings25. It can be inferred from the passage that the media is interested in __________.A) the process of scientific researchB) the results of scientific researchC) the scientists who do the researchD) the effects of scientific research on human lifePassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and 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 thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressureand strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find timefor great activity in student affairs. Elections to 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 is thought to have broken the rules, 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.26. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A) 36B) 12C) 20D) 1527. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A) to live in a different universityB) to take a particular course in a different universityC) to live at home and drive to classesD) to get two degrees from two different universities28. 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 university disciplineD) they want to run for positions of authority29.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_________.A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB) they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC) such positions help them get better jobsD) such positions are usually well paid30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _________.A) dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB) ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeDoreen Sykora is now a junior at Mcgill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly-----even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.”HitoshiSakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.31. Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto were filled with nervousness and fear duringexaminations because they were__________.A) not ready and unaware of the answersB) physically so weak that they fell apartC) subject to test anxietyD) unable to write or think clearly32. The higher the students’ worry level is, __________.A) the less calm and relaxing they areB) the more difficult they will be trained to manage fearC) the more stressed and tense they areD) the longer courses they will take to manage fear33. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A) To help students to reduce test anxiety.B) To show a stress level experienced by students.C) To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D) To have a better understanding of test anxiety.34. What’s the meaning of “blank out” in paragraph one?A) To be like a blanket.B) To be sure of an answer.C) To be relaxed.D) To be unable to think clearly.35.Which of the following best sums up the organization of the passage?A) Examples----theories----ideas.B) Problem----strategy----examples----results.C) General statement----examples----result.D) Strategy----experiment----examples.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (15 %) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

大学英语期末考试题及参考答案大学英语期末考试题一、选词填空(共计30分，每小题2分)Passage 1I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary. For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagents is only 10 minutes walk away. Now I go on foot.I tell myself that Im not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. Its all a question of habit really. Im sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to. Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from town and then I would frequently drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount. The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They dont seem so high tome any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the ear.Questions 26--30 are based on Passage 1.26. When the price of gas doubled in this year, the author decidedA. to go everywhere without a carB. only to take the car to fetch the papersC. to use the car when he had toD. to go on foot everywhere27. In the sentence "Its all a question of habit really," the pronoun "It" refers toA. saving the gasB. keeping fitC. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same timeD. not relying too much on the car28. To go to the newsagents to get his newspaper, the authorA. used to walk for 10 minutesB. used to drive his carC. walked down the road to the officeD. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit29. We know from the passage that the authorA. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from townB. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by carC. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a weekD. only spends 7.5 pounds on gas now30. The last sentence of the passage suggests thatA. the author still can not get used to doing without the carB. the author feels that the high price of gas is a great problemC. it is easy to use gas at high pricesD. the price of gas is not high any more点击下页还有更多大学英语期末考试题：词汇与结构阅读下面的小对话，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。

PassageB译文：
B篇 回眸大学
4年的时光已经过去，这一刻终于来临了。不到两周，我就要毕业了。此刻回想起来，我仍不敢相信时光飞逝如斯。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多我认识的人都迫不及待地想要毕业，我却恰恰相反。我宁愿时光倒流，再度重温大学生活的每一天。
走在校园熟悉的路上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。发觉自己好想从头来过，再次体味大学生活的欢娱和激动。一想到毕业心里就一阵阵恐慌。从记事起我就一直在读书。我觉得还有很多东西想学，可是却不得不毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。过去4年中，我一直被一张安全的网包围着。学生这个身份总能让人感到欣慰，使我可以躲开外面世界的无情现实。
The parents’ smiles broadened as they noted that their sons and daughters appeared at the entrance.
4. 我总是想让你记住，尽管你的论文可能通过了，但还有一些语法错误要修改。
I just want to impress upon you that even though your thesis may pass, there are still some grammatical mistakes to be corrected.
以前，每当需要查找资料的时候，我们总是去图书馆并在那儿花上几个小时找寻所需的资料。今天，我们自己家里也拥有了一座图书馆，而且一天24小时开放。以我初为人母的个人经验来看，我发现使用网上信息对我非常有帮助。当我在家照看孩子的时候，我仍然可以和外界保持联系并搜寻任何我所需要的教育资料。我还可以在家中和我的同学们交流思想、观点和信息。

Reading Comprehension （每小题2分,共30分）Passage AParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, …Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?‟” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete g ap in taste.”装 订 线Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.T oday, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent —child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue int0 adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “T o my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There‟s still a lot of strictness and authority on th e part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon V alley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the …before‟ side of that change, but today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the …after‟ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It‟s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now .”1. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _________. A. interest B. distance C. difference D. separation2. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing? A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities. B. Parents put more trust in their children‟s abilities. C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs. D. Parents share more interests with their children.3. The change in today‟s parent -child relationship is _________. A. more confusion among parentsB. new equality between parents and childrenC.1ess respect for parents from childrenD. more strictness and authority on the part of parents4. By saying “today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the …after‟ side.” the author means that today‟s parents _________. A. follow the trend of the changeB. can set a limit to the changeC. fail to take the change seriouslyD. have little difficulty adjusting to the change 5. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. describe the difficulties today‟s parents have met withB. discuss the development of the parent —child relationshipC. suggest the ways to handle the parent —child relationshipD. compare today‟s parent—child relationship with that in the pastPassage BWater problems in the future will become nore intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes,primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will deceasesubstantialy the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified.This wil linvolve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals, From this , it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to developcorrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to " disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or efflunets,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement . Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Efflunets from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat andpoultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential eonomic uses for waste products.6.The purpose of this passage is ______.A. to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyB. to explain industrial uses of waterC. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsD. to demostrate various measures to solve the pollution problem7.Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage?级 年制 班 准考证号 姓名装 订 线A. In dustrial development incudes the simplification of complex chemical processes.B. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of waterC. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding populationD. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals 8.The reader can conclued that________.A. countries of the world will work together on polution problemsB. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceC. science is making great progress on increasing water suppliesD. some industries are now ,aking economic use of wastes9. The author gives substance to the passage through the use of _______. A. interviews with authorities in the field of water controls B. opinions and personal observationsC. definitions which clarify important termsD. strong arguments and persuasions10. The words "prior to "(para.2) probably mean______.A. afterB. duringC. beforeD. beyondPassage COne of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong , and you were right about that."I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago.

I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I want to work.The manager heard the moise and came rushing over to see what hadhappened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. Iprotested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not. 11. How old was the author when he wrote this article?A. about 8B. about 18 C . about 23 D. about 15 12.

大一英语期末考试试题2
xx年大一英语期末考试试题Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Speech, the act of uttering sounds to convey meaning,is a kind of human action. Like any other constantly repeated action, speaking has to be learned, but once it is learned, it bees a generally unconscious and apparently automatic process.As far as we can determine, human beings do not need to be forced to speak; most babies seem to possess a sort of instinctive drive to produce speech like noises. How to speak and what to say are another matter altogether. These actions are learned from the particular society into which the baby is born; so that, like all conduct that is learned from a society, from the people around us, speech is a patterned activity.The meandering babble and chatter of a young child are eventually channeled by imitation into a few orderly grooves that represent the pattern aepted as meaningful by the people around him. Similarly, a child’s indi scriminatepractice of putting things into his mouth bees limited to putting food into his mouth in a certain way.The sounds that a child can make are more varied and numerous than the sounds that any particular language utilizes. However, a child born into a society with a pattern of language is encouraged to make a small selection of sounds and to make these few sounds over and over until it is natural for him to make these sounds and no others.21. What is the subject of the passage?A) How to make sounds.B) The origin of language.C) A child’s learning process of speaking.D) A baby’s sounds.22. A child’s chatter bees speech when it .A) begins to follow meaningful patternsB) contains enough soundsC) bees natural to himD) begins to be repeated23. The most important factor in a child’s learning to speak is probably.A) instinct B) selection C) variety D) imitation24. Which of the following is NOT true about children?A) Most babies have an instinctive drive to make speech like noises.B) A child can make more numerous sounds than those in any language.C) The society around a child determines what sounds will be considered meaningful.D) For a child, the process of speaking usually involves unconscious actions.25. We may say that a child has learned to speak if he.A) makes varied soundsB) carefully considers each sounds he makesC) makes only certain sounds naturallyD) imitates people around himQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent---the fresh water that es from rivers, lakes, underground and other sources. But unfortunately, some of it has been polluted and is unfit for drinking.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly—almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severeworldwide water shortage later on. So we all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water.One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of re-using water. Today in most large cities water is used only once and then discharged. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying plant, and then it can be used again.But even if every large city purified and re-used its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? Did you hear someone say“to the oceans”? I think that’s a possible solution. All we’d have to do is to remove the salt. This process is already in use in many parts of the world.26. What is the main subject of the passage?A) The reason why the world is both hungry and thirsty.B) How to avoid a severe worldwide water shortage.C) The first steps we should take.D) Where to find fresh water.27. All the fresh water.A) is good enough to be usedB) is polluted and can’t be used。

大一必修一大学体验英语unit 8
大学体验英语1册unit 8 Plastic cards are not the traditional, but a special form of money, made from plastics and used to describe all types of cards that replace money, such as credit cards, bank cards like ATM cards. EPS is an electronic system that enable customers to have the cost of an item withdrawn from the bank account when they are shopping in a store.How to use the plastic cards----a bank card is issued by a particular bank and can be used in a store with EPS. The cashier swipes the card through her machine, and then the card holder punches in his PIN number on a little thing that looks like a calculator. The cost of the things the customer buys is then taken out of his bank account. One does not have to worry about losing the card because one has to have the PIN number to use it.Buy lottery tickets//Win the lotteryTelevision shopping began in 1986.About 5% to 8% of the American public now shops by television. Some popular shopping channels are the Home shopping network. Customers say that television shopping is easier than shopping in a store. How do they buythings? They make a phone call and charge the item to their credit card. And TV shopping channels are on late at night, so people can “go shopping” anytime. About 37% of American households now have personal computers, and shopping by computer (shopping on line) is interesting to more people every day. Shoppers can use their computers to order many different products. On line shopping services appear every day, so many people may be able to shop for anything, anytime, anywhere in the world.Making dialogues:1.You want to buy a pair of running shoes, you goto the sports section in a department store. You talk about the size, color and the price with the shop assistant.2.She bought a blouse the other day and found thatit was of the wrong size, but the shop did not have the right size in the preferable color. She wants to ask for a refund, but the shop assistant does not agree because she does not have the receipt on her hand, but she really wants to see the manager.Background knowledge:What’s friendship? Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. There are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are content with fewer but more intense friendship. Everyone is not equally open with all their friends and the degree of intimacy is determined by many factors.1.Roommates and Majors in American Colleges :Freshman roommates are usually assigned randomly, with no attention to their majors, and may have little in common with one another either academically or personally. They may take none of the same classes, and do not have to choose their majors the first year. In future years it’s very easy to change roommates, and in the junior or senior year it’s quite common for students to move to off-campus apartments. So there’s much less likelihood that freshman roommates will become lifelong friends. 一年级新生常常并不按专业分配寝室。
