For example, according to a report from U. N. , between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign—born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.51.Which of the following is not the reason for ―the brain drain‖?A. Better chances of study.B. Better research conditionC. Good job possibilityD. Good housing52.The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because________.A. many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlandsB. there are fewer and fewer good jobs in the USAC. they don’t need any foreign scientists nowD. the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientist53.How many American doctors are foreign—born?A. More than 20 percentB. About half of themC. Several thousandD. About 15 percent54. Which is the best title for this passage?A. How to seek a job in the USAB. Doctors’ immigration to the USAC. The brain drainD. A strange case.Passage 2Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)－or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle(奇迹) of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process(过程). But growing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, ―You’re as young as you feel.‖ Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least ―young at heart.‖Many older Americans find the ―golden years‖ to be anything but golden. Economically, ―senior citizens‖ often struggle just to get by. Retirement(退休) at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely－even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged ―baby boomers‖ are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are ―in‖. Marketing experts are already noticing thi s growing group of consumers.55．Growing up is a wonderful thing because ___________.A．people can celebrate their birthdaysB．people can become more mature and wiserC．people can receive many presentsD．people will feel younger at heart56．We can infer from the second paragraph that ___________.A．young people lack experience and wisdomB．American older people often joke about their old ageC．American culture is very youngD．different countries have different opinions on the old age57．The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means ―_______.‖A．The golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical careB．The old people in America are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing C．The old in America have to retire at the age of 65D．American social security benefits are not good58．From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word―in‖can be replaced by _____ A．serious B．bad C．disappearing slowly D．growing fastPassaege 3What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.59．What is the passage mainly about?A．The significance of working hard at school.B．The direct and indirect value of school work.C．How to face one’s weakness.D．Choosing a career according to one’s strong points.60．According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student ____________.A．can help afford one’s educationB．is a good way to practice the skills learnt in schoolC．can help you to prepare for future workD．is a waste of time that could have been spent on study61．From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he _______.A．should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB．will be regretful about his bad resultsC．may also do well in his future workD．should restart his study in school62．The underlined phrase ―be all thumbs‖ (in Paragraph 3) probably means ―_________‖.A．be clumsy at doing thingsB．be skillful in doing thingsC．do not have interest in certain thingsD．be easily bored in doing thingsSection BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column. Mark the第四部分翻译（共10题，每题2分，共20分）Part IV Translation（20 points, 2 points each）Section ADirection: Put the following sentences into Chinese.71 Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home72 Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries73 We all like to i magine that we’re getting wiser and not just older.74 In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely－even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.75 A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.Section BDirection: Put the following sentences into English.76众所周知，成功来自勤奋，不努力则一事无成。

Best wishes Li Yuan 涉及知识点：写作2．Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck?正确答案：Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck? When it comes to lucky numbers, different people will offer different opinions. Some people take it for granted that lucky numbers have nothing to do with their luck. In their opinions, lucky numbers themselves are given certain meaning for the purpose of application of mathematics. Besides, all the numbers are equal, and they never decide your fate and affect your luck. However, others hold that lucky numbers really bring good luck to them. They maintain that some superstars and famous persons have their own lucky numbers to bless themselves. And lucky numbers make them feel peaceful or energetic and hence they can tackle problems better. Weighing up these two arguments, I am for the former one. For one thing, if lucky numbers really worked, we were not to fail anything. For another, lucky numbers can never change the objective reality and make miracles. For instance, patients are cured by experienced doctors but not by lucky numbers. Therefore, as stated above, we should work hard instead of depending on lucky numbers to bring us a happy life.解析：本题属于命题作文。

江西省专升本英语模拟试题

2020年江西省“专升本”英语统一考试模拟试卷一PartⅠListening comprehension（10points）(略)PartⅡReading Comprehension（40points）Directions:In this section there are four passages.Each of them is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers 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.Questions16-20are based on the following passage.There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably,some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought up.If an individual is handicapped(不利)environmentally,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins,Peter and Mark.Being identical,the twins had identical brains at birth,and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old,their parents died,and they were placed in separate foster(抚养)homes.Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child,sent to good schools,and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens,when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark's I.Q.was125,twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities,the twins,having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.16.This selection can best be titled____________.A.Measuring Your IntelligenceB.Intelligence and EnvironmentC.The Case of Peter and MarkD.How the Brain Influences Intelligence17.The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that_______.A.human brains differ considerablyB.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceC.environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligenceD.persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence18.According to the passage,the average I.Q.is___.A.85.B.100C.110D.12519.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that_______.A.individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same levelB.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environmentck of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain20.This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q.____.A.can be predicted at birthB.stays the same throughout his lifeC.can be increased by educationD.is determined by his childhoodQuestions21-25are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder(奎蛇).In Scotland,in fact,there are no other snakes at all.The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite.It can be found almost anywhere,but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country,including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal(致命的)misfortune,but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal.Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself,with amateurs(外行人)heroically,but mistakenly,trying do-it-yourself surgery(手术)and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth,so that all snakes can bite,but only the bite of the adder presents any danger.British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them.The adder will attack only if it feels threatened,as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally,or if you try to catch it or pick it up,which it dislikes intensely.If it hears you coming,it will normally get out of the wa6y as quickly as it can,but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably.It depends upon several things,one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten.The bigger the person,the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults.A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain,and though these bites can make some people very ill,there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect,as there are of serious illness.21.Adders are most likely to be found_______.A)in wider parts of Britain and Ireland B)in Scotland but nowhere elseC)on wild land through Britain D)in the countryside in England22.If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder,you should______.A)try to catch the snake B)not treat the bite yourselfC)not worry too much about the victim D)operate him as soon as possible23.We are told that adders_______.A)normally friendly towards peopleB)unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC)likely to attack people whenever they see themD)not afraid of human beings24.If an adder hears you approaching,it will usually______.A)move out of your pathB)take no notice of you at allC)disappear very quicklyD)wait until you are close and then attack25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A)Adders are more likely to attack children than adults.B)The adder prefers to bite a person with a heavy body.C)The danger of adder bites is different from person to person.D)In most cases adder bites are more serious than other illnesses.Questions26-30are based on the following passages.Only the government can ensure that the American people have clean air and pure water. Congress must pass laws to stop manufacturers from polluting the air and water with the waste from their factories.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced for all,companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business.For example,if Automobile Company X spends money to put an air-pollution control device on their automobiles,their cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company.People who don’t have the extra money or who don’t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive cars.Automobile Company X will go bankrupt (破产);that is,it won’t make enough money to pay its workers and to buy materials.It will then go out of business.Of course,no automobile company will make itself go bankrupt on purpose, and the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all automobile manufacturers must make cars with air-pollution control devices,the cost of all manufacturers will be equal.So the government cannot let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution.The government must force manufacturers to clean up the environment by setting anti-pollution standards for everyone.26.If a company cares about a clean environment while others don’t,it will have to_______.A)change the anti-pollution standards for its productsB)sell its products at a more expensive priceC)buy materials at a higher priceD)pay more money to its workers27.The writer gives the example of Automobile Company X to show that_______.A)manufacturers will not take care of pollution control on their own willB)few manufacturers are aware of the importance of air-pollution controlC)air-pollution control devices are more expensive than other devicesD)people like to buy cars that are equipped with pollution control devices28.According to the writer,anti-pollution standards ensure that______.A)no manufacturer will go bankrupt for spending money on pollution controlB)less money will be spent in buying pollution control devicesC)manufacturers know how to control pollution more effectivelyD)all manufacturers have to take measures to control pollution29.The purpose of this passage is_______.A)to describe how a company can go bankruptB)to emphasize the urgent need of cleaning up the environmentC)to stress the importance of the government’s role In preventing pollutionD)to tell how difficult it is to keep the environment free from air-pollution30.What can be inferred from thin passage?A)Companies have not been given an equal chance to develop their business.B)A company will go bankrupt if its cars have to be installed with pollution control devices.C)The US government has not set up standards on pollution control for car producers.D)It is necessary to persuade producers to take effective pollution control measure. Questions31-35are based on the following passages.Large-scale production in a large market brings advantages:mass production helps to reduce the manufacturing costs of consumer goods and the single market also makes it easier to specialize. Together,these two considerations improve businesses’chance of making profit.Within the single market,the Community(欧共体)is making clearly strict European industrial standards which help European industry compete with imported products and conquer new markets,as well as making high-quality products available to the consumer.The European commission’s competition policy serves to ensure that the common interest prevails over individual business interests.At the same time,it is flexible enough to allow co-operation between small firms.Business are being encouraged to operate outside the country in which they are based by measures designed to ensure that they are no longer taxed twice for doing so.The days when taxesare an obstacle to Europe-wide business operation will soon be gone.In addition to creating a favorable business environment,the community’s industrial policy is also concerned with developing specific strategies.The objective is to carry out long-term plans to develop industries such as the electronics industry,information technology,biotechnology(生物技术)and textiles.These measures,at national and community level,will influence the quality of products,the technology used to manufacture them,the training the workforce receives,and the development of new outlets.In short,a whole range of instruments will be created to protect the future of European technology.These projects will require extra funding at Community level for training,research and development and communications networks.The extra Community funding will be used as rationally as possible in a way which maximizes the benefit to European industry.31.The European Community has found______.A)a single market to carry out mass productionB)the Community market to produce high quality goodsC)a large market to increase business with other countriesD)a new market to make it easier to get profits32.We can infer from the passage that the community’s general policy______.A)helps the small firms to do business flexiblyB)encourages big firms to conquer the small onesC)emphasizes the interest of the Community as a wholeD)brings the customer more imported goods33.One of the main changes in the market in Europe is that_______.A)there are more home produced goods that imported goods on the marketB)companies only have to pay one tax when operating in a member countryC)there are no more Europe-wide business operationsD)small companies are allowed to combine into larger ones34.The European Community has adopted some special measures to_______.A)make long-term development of industries possibleB)place some industries before other industriesC)open new markets in other countriesD)enable new technology to be used in manufacturing35.which of the following is likely to be the

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life. Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world. They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others. We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. V olunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now? Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead. 1. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?

Almost all the staff who work at the Blind Cow, as the restaurant was named, were also blind.Now , not just the blind, but even people who can see with their eyes come to this restaurant for the unique experience it provides, apart from the delicious food it provides.The idea came to Spiemann while he was working as a waiter at a public exhibit in 1998. The exhibit was an experience for people with normal eyesight, as they were made to grope through pitch dark tunnels, along with blind people.Spielmann turned an unused church into a 60-seat restaurant. Black curtains make the sitting area pitch dark and there are no lights.Customers who can see value their experience at the Blind Cow as it enables them to “see” a new dimension to the world, through the eyes of people with no sight but a great deal of vision. There are other reasons why people like going to the restaurant. As no one can see what the others are doing, table manners are temporarily forgotten.When customers arrive, they are ushered in by a waitress with bells attached to her toes. Forming a chain led by the waitress, with hands placed on each other’s shoulders, the customers walked inside. And if the customers want anything, they shout to attract the attention of the waitresses. Obviously, it’s a very noisy restaurant.The bells on the waitress’s toes help prevent them from running into each other while carrying dishes. Though they admit to some unavoidable bumps, the staff at the Blind Cow says that they have no more accidents than at any other restaurant. Customers to the restaurant are extra careful not to knock things over.The restaurant is so popular that at the beginning of March 2001, all the tables were booked for the entire month.6. Blind Cow is a rather unique restaurant because .A. all people there are blindB. only blind people are allowed to eat thereC. people eat in complete darkness thereD. people who can see have to pay extra there7. The word “grope” (Line 2, Para. 3) is closest in meaning toA. graspB. exploreC. fightD. examine8. Why do normal people like eating in Blind Cow?A. Because the food there, especially the beef, is very deliciousB. Because they are curious about the life of those who can’t seeC. Because they want to experience a new dimension of the worldD. Because they can experience with some new table manners there9. The restaurant is rather noisy becauseA. dishes always get broken as waitresses keep on running into each otherB. there are always a lot of people waiting to get served in the restaurantC. the waitresses and the customers there all talk very loudlyD. customers have to shout if they need service from the waitresses10. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A. Blind Cow and Its OwnerB. The Owner of Blind CowC. Welcome to Blind CowD. The World’s Best RestaurantPassage 3Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Do Peru’s potatoes have the right stuf f? That’s the question scientis ts will be asking in Lima next month, when a selection of potatoes will begin undergoing tests to determine whether they are fit to grow on Mars.NASA, the US space agency, is conducting the pioneering experiment together wit h Lima’s International Potato Center.They will cultivate a hundred selected varieties in Mars-like conditions that could eventually pave the way for building a dome on the Red Planet for farming the vegetable. Of the selected candidates, 40 are native to the Andes Mountains, conditioned to grow in different ecological zones, can stand sudden climate changes and reproduce in rocky areas. The other 60 are improved varieties, able to survive with little water and salt. They are also immune to viruses. Those that pass the tests must meet a final criterion—they must be able not only to grow well on Mars but also reproduce in large quantities. “We’re almost 100 percent certain that many of the selected potatoes will pass the tests,” said Julio Valdivia Silva, a Peruvian NASA astrobiologist (太空生物学家) who is taking part in the ambitious project. The scientists plan to transport 100 kilos of soil to a lab in Lima that will simulate the complex Martian atmosphere—which contains mostly carbon dioxide—and expose it to extreme ultraviolet (紫外线的) radiation. If the varieties selected for next month’s experiment don’t adapt to the desert soil, the researchers will introduce nutrients, which will be provided by radiation.In future years, NASA plans to build a Mars research center in the Peruvian desert. It would create a perfect copy of the Martian landscape and atmosphere for future research into space farming that could serve manned missions to Mars and other planets in the solar system.11.What is the best title of the passage?A. Transport potatoes to Peru.B. Determine the varieties of potatoes in Peru.C. NASA is to build a Mars research center in Peru.D. NASA is to simulate growing potatoes on Mars in Peru.12. The underlined word “stand” means “_______”.A. be on one’s feetB. withstand a particular situationC. stay in a stateD. have a particular position13. According to the third paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Forty kinds of potatoes can survive with little water and salt.B. Many types of potatoes to be planted on Mars are developed in Peru.C. Sixty varieties native to the Andes Mountains can stand sudden climate changes.D. The final criterion is that all the candidates are immune to viruses on the earth.14. What if the selected varieties don’t adapt to the desert soil in Peru?A. Astrobiologists will be sent there to help.B. Nutrients will be provided to plants by radiation.C. A Mars research center will be built for further study.D. 100 more kilos of potatoes will be directly sent to Lima.15. The passage may be in the________column of China Daily.A. scienceB. sportsC. tourismD. entertainmentPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous’ explanation for this finding is that many of those who show up as abstainers(戒酒者) in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems associated with drinking.But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that ---for reasons that aren't entirely clear---abstaining from alcohol does tend to increase one’s risk of dying, even when you exclude former problem drinkers. The most shocking part is abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers.Moderate drinking, which is defined as one to three drinks per day, is associated with the lowest mortality rates in alcohol studies. Moderate alcohol use (especially when the beverage of choice is red wine) is thought to improve heart health.But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life? It’s true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes, since drinking can be expensive. And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors, job and child-care worries that might not only keep them from the bottle but also cause stress-related illnesses over long periods. (They also don’t get the stress-reducing benefits of a drink or two after work.)But even after controlling for nearly all imaginable variables---socioeconomic status, level of physical activity, number of close friends, quality of social support and so on —the researchers (a six-member team led by psychologist Charles Holahan of the University of Texas at Austin) found that over a 20-year period, mortality rates were highest for those who were not current drinkers, regardless of whether they used to be alcoholics, second highest for heavy drinkers and lowest for moderate drinkers.16. What’s the standard Alcoholics Anonymous’ attitude towards the finding?A. supportiveB. negativeC. positiveD. neutral17. What do we know from the new paper in the journal Alcoholism:Clinical and Experimental Research?A. Abstaining from alcohol can lead to a happier life.B. The mortality rates of former problem drinkers is the highest.C. Researchers have explained the reason why abstainers face high risk.D. Comparing with the abstainers, heavy drinkers are at a lower risk.18. Which of the following can be considered as a moderate drinker?A. People who drink less than three drinks per day.B. People who drink red wine.C. People who only drink with family members.D. Drinker whose purpose is to improve health.19. Why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life according to the passage?A. Because people who abstain from alcohol are in lower status.B. Because abstaining from alcohol is a painful experience.C. Because people who have to abstain from alcohol tend to face more stresses.D. Because abstainers have already incurred health problems.20. According to the research over a 20-year period, what kind of people have the highest mortality rates?A. Those who didn’t drink during that period.B. Those who drunk before that period.C. Those who were heavy drinkers.D. Those who were moderate drinker.Section B (从7个选项中选5个, 每空格2分, 共10分)In the following article, some sentences have been removed.

In the US, birthplace of the blues, the number of music lounges (雅座酒吧) devoted to blues has grown over 50 percent since 1990 to 1,360, according to Fortune magazine. Among the most notable additions are the House of Blues, established by the legendary creator of the Hard Rock Cafe, and Fleetwood’s, set up by t he Fleetwood Mac drummer.If anything, the blues are even more popular in Europe. Many US blues musicians have lived there at some time or another. Europeans consider the blues a serious art form and treat these old-time bluesmen with great respect. Seventy percent of blues record sales worldwide, rather surprisingly, take place in Europe. The best selling blues album (密纹唱片) in the world right now is From the Cradle by English superstar Eric Clapton, who with this album pays respect to the inspiration of his music all these years.The blues have even surrounded the Philippines. Japan and Australia have flourishing blues scenes, with many well-established local players and frequent concerts by visiting blues legend.While the explosion is booming worldwide, i n Manila it’s more like a firecracker（鞭炮）pop. But things are changing. There's sudden interest, scattered at the moment, but definite, cracking through Manila.Of all the countries, the Philippines should be listening carefully to the blues. Many of the conditions that faced the US bluesmen and gave birth to the blues, from the early days in the Southern cotton fields to the urban slums (贫民窟) of today, bear surprising similarities to conditions here in the Philippines.Questions:56.

She had plastic surgery to become more socially acceptable. But a lot of her critics still don't like her.66. Barbie’s manufacturer announced Thursday that the doll has three new body types—medium, tall and short. Barbie will also now come in seven skin tones, 22 eye colors and 24 hairstyles. Mattel spokeswoman Michelle Chidoni said the product is evolving to “offer mor e choices” to make “the line more reflective of the world girls see around them.”Kris Macomber, who teaches sociology at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C., says 67. she’s reluctant to celebrate Barbie’s new strategy because it doesn’t change the fact that Barbie dolls and other kinds of fashion dolls still over-emphasize female beauty. Why must we keep sending girls the message that being beautiful is so important?"Josh Golin, the executive director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, said the changes are a testament to activists who for years have challenged Barbi’s “unrealistic and harmful body type.” But body type “was only one of the criticisms,” he said. 68. “The other was the brand’s relentless focus on appearance and fashion.”Kumea Shorter-Gooden, a co-author of Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America, has said in the past that Barbie has a bigger impact on black girls struggling with messages about skin color and hair. She applauded Mattel “for diversifying the size and lo ok of Barbie,” but noted that “European-American hair still prevails,” and that the dolls' outfits still “convey a traditional and constraining gender norm about how girls and women should look.”69. Barbie sales fell 14 percent in the most recently reported quarter, with worldwide sales falling every year since 2012.Mattel said it will still sell the original 11.5-inch Barbie. The new versions will begin arriving on U.S. shelves in March.Some saluted the new Barbie. Tri-na Finton, a Hispanic mom from Simi Valley, Calif., who works in tech and once bought herself an engineer Barbie, was “thrilled” to hear about the new looks, especially the curly hair. In the past, when she's taken her 3-year-old daughter to Target, "I avoid the Barbie aisle. 70. I just do n’t want her to feel bad that she ca n’t see a doll that looks like her."66.

She would stay up late at night, filling up notebooks with poems about nature, love, and friendship.

Youshould make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Task1As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England.That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This oftenconfuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now use d to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you kn ow what each of them means?46. English was first spoken in _________.A. BritainB. EnglandC. Great BritainD. Ireland47. Britain is divided into _________.A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the threeB. Scotland is the largest of the threeC. Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles49. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is .A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage650. Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of IrelandTask 2Bees do two kind s of dances to tell other bees of their discovery of food. First,there is a round dance. In this dance, the bee moves in a circle inside the hive.The round dance is used when food is close by. The food must not be more than ten meters away.(3)If a bee comes back and does a round dance , other bees know they must go out and look nearby for food. The bees also smellthe bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for. After watching the round dance and smelling the bee that has found the food ,the other bees can find the food source .A second kind of dance done by the bees is a tail-wagging dance. In this dance,the bee wiggles the end of its body as it moves in a straight line. The tail-wagging dance is used when the food is more than ten meters away. The bees know form the speed of the tail-wagging dance just how far away the food source is .In the tail-wagging dance, the bees also smell the bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for.(4)After watching the tail-wagging dance and smelling the bee that has found the food , the other bees know how far to fly and what kinds of flowers to look for .Each bee can tell all the other bees where to look for food. The bees can also tell one another if the food is especially good and how much of it there is. Karl von Frisch did an experiment with bees. He put food source very high above the bee hive, and put a bee into the food . The bee returned to the hive and did the round dance, but none of the other bees could find the food. This suggests that bees do not really have a language .One bee could not tell the other bees the height of the food. One bee could not communicate this new information to the others .51、Bees tell other bees that they have found food by______.A. tail-wagging first and smelling other bees laterB. round dancing first and smelling other bees laterC. round dancing first and smelling other bees laterD. either round dancing or tail-wagging52.What will a bee do to tell other bees about food source that is eight meters away?A. Tail-wagging.B. Round dancing first and smelling other bees laterC. Smelling the other bees.D.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1It is very important to develop a powerful strategy throughout the job hunting process that has three main components: a solid resume format based on your achievements, a dynamic resume cover letter that gets an employer’s attention, and a consistent strategy that binds everything together.FIRS (First Impression Resume Services) offer personallydesigned resume and cover letter strategies and interview training by a Certified Professional ResumeWriter and Certified Employment Interview Professional. Resume samples are classified in “Expert Resumes for Computer and Web Jobs”, “Expert Resumes for Teachers and Educators,” and the upcoming “Expert Resumes for Manufacturing Industry P rofessionals”.After you finish an in-depth interview, your resume format is developed to focus on your career goals, not only on your past job experience. Accomplishments, keywords, and strategic placement of critical information form a dynamic and successful blueprint for your job search (Tip: Search for job-related keywords (nouns) in classified ads in the newspaper or online at job boards). By knowing the right questions to ask, First I mpression can help you look ahead and uncover related information you may have overlooked.We ascribe to a professional Code of Ethics and guarantee prompt, courteous, professional, and ethical services. First Impression offers professional resume writing help, job readiness, and personal support to adults who are in need.61. A good resume design must include _____.A. achievements, cover letter and a consistent strategyB. a solid resume format, grabs an employer's attention; binds everything togetherC. format design, cover design and consistence considerationD. none of the above62. It was most probably that First Impression Resume Services was _____.A. an office that interviews people who are looking for a jobB. an office that gives advice to job-hunting people on how to succeed in getting employedC. an office that interviews people who are looking for a jobD. an office that gives advice to young people who want to start a profession63. What does the office offer?A. A variety of resume samples.B. Interview training.C. Personally designed resumes and cover letter strategies.D. All of the above.64. From the context, we can gue ss that the word “tip” (in paragraph 3) probably means________.A. extremityB. pointC. premiumD. advice65. The office guarantees that _____.A. they will give their services on the basis of the Code of EthicsB. they will give perfect servicesC. they will offer professional help to all kinds of peopleD. all of the abovePassage 2When your parents tell you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.At least, you need to get a high school diploma, without it, you will be occupationally dead unless your name is GeorgeBernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully drop out in grade school.If possible, get a college degree. With a B.A, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you study for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA, and is famous law of diminishing returns begins to happen. Do you know, for example, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000. While the full professors can earn just $ 23030.A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages, or worst of all in philosophy, you have the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands. Thousands of Ph.D.s are driving cars, selling shoes, waiting on table, and filling out applications every month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.66. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ____.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the na tion’s demands as a source of manpower67. Many PhDs are out of job because _____.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money68. The nation is only interested in people _____.A. with diplomasB. who specialize in physics and chemistryC. who are valuable to the gross national productD. both A and C.69. Which of the following is not true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high schools, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be over educated for society’s demands.70. The writer sees education as _____.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a c ountry’s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should havePassage 3Not all Americans are fit, or even try to be fit. The overallpopulation is becoming heavier, because of bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Some researches estimate that less than half of Americans exercise in their leisure time. Exper ts say that it is not because Americans “don’t know what’s good f or them”? They just don’t do it. Compared to the beginning of the 1980s, 75% of Americans in the 1990s say that physical fitness is more important to them now than it was then. But the National Center for Health Statistics reports that the number of people who are at least 20% over their desirable weight has risen from one in four to one in three Americans.Full of information on nutrition and proper diet is on newspapers and magazines. Television news programs urge people to eat more vegetables and warn of the dangers of high-fat diets and high cholesterol levels, particularly heart disease and certain types of cancer. Since 1994 the government has required uniform labeling so that consumers can compare the fat and calories in the food they buy. More than half ofAmericans say that they pay attention to the nutritional content of the food they eat, but they also eat what they really want whenever they feel like it.Experts say that it is a combination of social, cultural, and psychological factors that determine the way people eat. An article on America’s weight problems refers to “the culture of over-indulgence seemingly ingrained in American life”. “The land of plenty seems destined to include plenty of pounds as well,” they conclude. Part of the problem is that Americans eat larger portions and often go back for second helpings, in contrast to the reasonable amount people in many other countries have.Another factor is Americans’ love of fast food. Some estimates are that 50% of Americans eat pizza once every twoweek, a percentage that is no doubt quite a bit higher among high school and college students. Americans are having more and more hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks at restaurants, not only because they like them, but because these foods are the cheapest items.Another important factor is Americans’ busy lifestyle. Since so many women are working, families are eating a lot of fast food, frozen dinners, and restaurant “takeout”. Some experts think that Americans have really lost control of their eating; it is not possible to limit fat and calories when they eat so much restaurant and packaged food. It takes some time to prepare fresh vegetables and fish; stopping at KFC on the way home from work is a much faster choice. Often American families eat "on the run" instead of sitting down at the table together.71. More than half of Americans do not exercise in their leisure time because______.A. they want to live a comfortable lifeB. they don’t know what’s good for themC. they are busyD. they just don't do it72. The number of overweighed people is _______.A. one in fourB. one in threeC. 20 percent of the populationD. 50 percent73. Wh at does the word “over-indulgence” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Eating too much.B. Extreme work.C. Exercising too much.D. Sleeping too much.74. Americans like fast food because _______.A. it is cheapB. it is available everywhereC. Americans are quite busyD. all of the above75. We infer from the passage that _______.A. Americans usually sit down at the table and enjoy their foodB. Americans often eat at restaurantsC. Americans often eat in a hurryD. Americans often eat with their familiesPassage 4Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy by people. Almost everybody thinks attractive people are healthier and happier, and have better marriage and have more respectable jobs. Consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are kinder on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is relatively positive for a man in his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were regarded as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were considered to account for their success. While attractive female executives were thought to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and capability than the attractive female executives. It is interesting that the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationshipsand less to ability than was that of attractive overnight success.Why are charming women not thought to be capable? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (and an attractive man more masculine.) Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditional female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities that are required.This is true even in politics. “If the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photos, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photos were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order that they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.76. The word “liability” in Paragraph 1 most prob ably means “_______”.A. misfortuneB. instabilityC. disadvantageD. burden77. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _______.A. reinforces the feminine qualities requiredB. makes women look more honest and capableC. is of primary importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly78. Bowman’s experiment reveals that when it comes topolitics, attractiveness _____.A. turns out to be an obstacle to menB. affects men and women alikeC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women79. I t can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often _____.A. practicalB. prejudicedC. old-fashionedD. radical80. The author writes this passage to _______.A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB. give advice to job seekers who are attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. emphasize the importance of appearancePart Ⅳ Translation ( 2 × 10 points)Directions: There are 10 sentences in this section.

The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music.These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhapsbuy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD.There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music.Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2022—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music businessWhat is unusua l about the Crimea’s business plan（）A．Their business was given away free on the InternetB．They gave CDs away free in shopsC．They played free concertsD．They charged more for their CDs2、The Crimea hope to make money（）A．through CD salesB．by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC．by selling merchandise on the InternetD．through sales of merchandise in shops3、The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because （）A．people who attend their concerts need themB．they want to make extra moneyC．there are still people who prefer CDs to other formats D．people who fail to attend their concerts need them4、What is true about sales of music over the last year（） A．Overall, sales are up last yearB．Overall, sales are down last yearC．There is no change compared to previous salesD．It is not mentioned in the passage5、What effect has the Internet had on music piracy（）A．It has made it easier to fight piracyB．It has increased the number of pirate CDs availableC．It has made it easier to illegally copy musiD．It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available6、Even plants can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away—straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared（红外线） scanning technologydeveloped for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide（杀虫剂） spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants that don’t have pest（害虫） problems. Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. An infrared scanner, on a plane flying at 3,000 feet at night, measured the heat sent out by crops. The data was turned into a color-coded map showing where plants were running fevers. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt about how the technology works. This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, says George Oerther of Texas AM.Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department ofAgriculture, thinks long-distance infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade, but only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10 years ago Plant will run a fever when they are______（）A．sprayed with pesticidesB．facing an infrared scannerC．troubled with insects or diseaseD．having their temperature taken7、In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to ______（）A．draw a color-coded mapB．locate the problem areaC．attract insects and treat diseaseD．estimate the damage to the crops8、Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by ______（）A．making use of spot-sprayingB．transforming poisoned rainC．consulting infrared scanning expertsD．detecting crop problems at an early stage9、The difficulty in applying infrared scanning technology to agriculture is ______（）A．its high costB．the financial problemC．the decreased productionD．the lack of official support10、The passage mainly talks about the ______（）A．problems of cropsB．temperature of plantsC．roles of Paley’s companyD．function of infrared scanning11、It was a fairly sunny day. I had gone down the tower whena blind man came toward me. He kept close to the wall， touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walking toward the ticket office.What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for? I wondered， Not the view certainly， perhaps he wants to jump. Thinking of this terrible reason， I thought I should follow him.He went up slowly and stopped from time to time. I followed him a few steps behind.When he got to the first corner of the bell tower，I approached him. Excuse me, I said as politely as I could, but I am very curious to know why you came up.You’d never guess, he said.Not the view， or the fresh air on this winter day?No. he said.Tell me， then.He smiled.Perhaps climbing up the tower，you have noticed—and yet， not being blind，perhaps you won’t—how the sun pours into the tower through the windows here and there，so that one can feel the cool steps suddenly become quite warm，even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade. There is no place so good as this for feeling the contrast between light and darkness. Though I’m blind， I also want to feel the happiness brought by the sunlight. In fact it isn’t my first time to be here. He said and seemed as pleased as a child. （81）I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to enjoy the beautiful life.But we often paid no attention to its value because we never lost it.We went down the tower together and I left him. From then on I began to treasure what life has given meWhen did the story happen（）A．On a warm day in springB．On a cool day in summerC．On a windy day in autumnD．On a sunny day in winter12、What’s the relation ship between the writer and the blind man（）A．StrangersB．FriendsC．RelativesD．Neighbors13、The writer followed the blind man because _____（）A．he wanted to offer help to any handicapped personB．he was afraid that the blind man might jump off the tower C．he was curious about the ability of the blind man to climb D．he wanted to go down the tower with the blind man14、Why did the blind man climb the tower（）A．Because he wanted to feel the shade behind the wall of the towerB．Because he wanted to have more fresh air up the tower C．Because he wanted to feel the difference between sunlight and shadeD．Because the bell tower was a good and familiar place for him to visit15、What did the writer learn from the blind man（）A．One should always love sunny daysB．One should treasure what is lost in lifeC．One should enjoy the changes in lifeD．One should value what life has given him16、When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambition. In most cases, you will visit a likely employer’s office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested.（83）The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of your application form and interview. Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job hunting situations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often require letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Therefore, your writing skills may play an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job-hunting situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-hunter, therefore, you should be able to prepare all the written materials that will help you to get the job you wantAccording to the passage, in looking for a job, the students _____（）A．must make an arrangement for an interviewB．may follow their interests and ambitionC．will surely get a chance to improve their positionsD．will always visit every employer’s office17、If you want to improve your position and find a better job, it is important to _____（）A．improve your writing skillsB．make a decision on the basis of your own desireC．get a job related to your educationD．understand the application form of the company18、To find a job, it is NOT necessary for a student to supply_____（）A．a writing sampleB．a letter of applicationC．an application formD．a resume19、Your application for a job should mainly inform the employer of your _____（）A．present position and incomeB．former employersC．background and experienceD．former colleagues20、What may be the best title for this passage（）A．How to Complete a Job Application FormB．An Introduction to Job-Hunting SituationsC．Writing Skills Help Job-HuntingD．An Attempt to Find Better Jobs三、完形填空1、The mind-success connection is strong, and many obstacles to our success are also mental. Some people rely more on facts, 41 others rely more on feelings. There is no right way to be, but we all have the natural ability to feel our way successfully42 an unlighted path.I learned this 43 I was standing on a curb（路边） in a city in Vietnam（越南）. My objective, a restaurant where my husband Tom was 44 for me， stood on the 45 side of the street, I was 46 and could smell the food.But it seemed as if the restaurant were miles away. The street was 47 with motor cycles, bicycles, cars, trucks and buses. Rather than 48 the traffic into two lanes， the yellow lane markers apparently served only to 49 that you were on a paved（铺设的） road.People passed, stopped, turned around and crossed center lines.Traffic flowed both ways in the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the street from side ones. Even when the signal light turned red, traffic 50 to flow as drivers entirely 51 the signal, rushing to me from front, back, sides and all angles.I was ready to abandon lunch with Tom when a local gentleman52 my arm. In English, he kindly said, Crossing the street is not a problem, 53 a dance. With that we stepped 54 the curb and into the chaos（混乱）.

Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.As he closed his service station at 1:20 one Sunday morning, Tony Payseur set on the ground a metal cash box containing $7,000. At home a short while later, he reached in the back of his car for the box.It was missing. Realizing that he must have left it outside the station, Payseur speeded back. The box was gone. Sunday morning, although he felt ill, Payseur went to work with his two sons. Then,in the middle of the afternoon, a man named Wayne came and told his story. Passing the station minutes after Payseur left the previous night, Brazzell had spotted the metal box. Thinking it was a tool-box someone had left accidentally; he stopped and picked it up. About 3 p.m. Sunday, Brazzell opened the box. Finding it filled with cash, he rushed to the station. "I couldn't believe someone would be so honest," Payseur said it when he got back his box.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.What is the passage mainly about?A How the missing metal box was returned.B Mr. Payseur is a lucky man.C Mr. Payseur's metal box.D Mr. Payseur's carelessness.SSS_SINGLE_SEL2.When did Mr. Payseur realize the missing of his metal box?A Saturday morning.B A little time after he got home.C Sunday afternoon.D A little time before he went home.SSS_SINGLE_SEL3.Mr. Wayne found the metal box______.A on the ground with the cover openB laid on the groundC lying in the cornerD in the back of a carSSS_SINGLE_SEL4."...

The wind blew straight across the river, sharp as a razor, and he had to pull his overcoat closer about him. He went over his instructions in his mind. The agent would appear at four o' clock. He would chat to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspaper behind. The plan would be fastened inside.A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down beside Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meal. He bore no resemblance to Lane's idea of a successful spy. His conversation, confined to trivial observations about the weather, was painfully uninteresting. A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Lane picked up the paper which lay on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news. He was excited to see the plans pinned to the center page. At that moment, however, there was a strong wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.SSS_SINGLE_SEL6.Lane______.A memorized his ordersB recited his ordersC tried to remember his ordersD repeated his orders himselfSSS_SINGLE_SEL7.The agent was going to______.A give Lane some important papersB tell him some pieces of adviceC tell him some important newsD tell him his sufferingSSS_SINGLE_SEL8.The agent left the newspaper______.A by arrangementB by mistakeC at Lane' s requestD out of kindnessSSS_SINGLE_SEL9.Lane______.A read the newsB made the plansC turned over the pages of the newspaperD made a kite out of the newspaperSSS_SINGLE_SEL10.Lane______.A got rid of the plans quicklyB lost the plansC threw the plans awayD managed to save the plansMen have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth. In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates . They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together. Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks, and by usingbits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water. Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.

He had a large family to support, so he often found himself in difficulty. He often visited Mr. White on Sundays, told him about his troubles, and asked for two or three pounds. Mr. White, a man with a kind heart, found it difficult to refuse the money, though he himself was poor. Tom had already received more than thirty pounds from Mr. White, but he always seemed to be in need of some more. One day,after telling Mr. White a long story of his troubles, Tom asked for five pounds. Mr. White had heard this sort of thing before, but he listened patiently to the end. Then he said, "I understand your difficulties, Tom. I'd like to help you. But I' m not going to give you five pounds this time. I'll lend you the money, and you can pay me off next time you see me.

A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four of five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for them to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when sheis forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty. This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women' s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.SSS_SINGLE_SEL21.We are told that in a family about 1900______.A few children died before they were fiveB seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC the youngest child would be fifteenD not all the children can live beyond fiveSSS_SINGLE_SEL22.One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she______.A is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB does not like children herselfC needn't worry about food for her childrenD can be free from family duties when she reaches sixtySSS_SINGLE_SEL23.Many girls are now likely to______.A give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB leave school as soon as they canC marry so that they can get a jobD continue working until they are going to have a babySSS_SINGLE_SEL24.According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to______.A stay at home after leaving schoolB marry men younger than themselvesC start working again later in lifeD marry while still at schoolSSS_SINGLE_SEL25.Now a husband probably______.A plays a greater part in looking after the childrenB helps his wife by doing most of the houseworkC feels dissatisfied with his part in the familyD takes a part-time job so that he can be more helpful at home1。

Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.{{/B}}(总题数：5，分数：50.00)Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight. Each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world, each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.（分数：10.00）(1).It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because______.（分数：2.00）A.most painters do not express themselves wellB.a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC.a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words √D.many painters do not say anything解析：解析：文章第二段What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain，because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors，not words．故选C。

[专升本类试卷]专升本英语（阅读）模拟试卷41一、Part III Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.0 In the United States today, nearly half of us live in areas that we refer to as the suburbs. Any dictionary will define the suburbs as those areas, usually residential, that lie outside cities and towns. But, lor millions of Americans in the last thirty years, the suburbs have come to mean much more than that.For those who moved to the developing suburbs after the Second World War, they represented an escape from urban congestion to a home of one' s own—preferably one with an attached two-car garage on a little half-acre of tree-shaded land. It also meant daily communication to work by railroad or expressway , a lawn to mow, and a mortgage to pay off over the year.Nobody approves of life in the suburbs but the people who live there. Urban cities argue that suburbanites enjoy all the cultural, educational, and commercial advantages that cities offer without paying for them. Farmers worry about losing their farms to uncontrolled suburban sprawl. The suburbs have also been criticized for the monotonous(单调的)sameness of their design and for their ability to insulate(隔离)their inhabitants from the problems of larger society in which they live.On the other hand, defenders of the suburbs argue that the life-style that they offer is more varied and more inclusive than the critics admit; there are many different kinds of suburbs and a variety of people living in them. While the development of the suburbs has created problems, it also has provided substantial modern housing for millions of people. Suburban living offers the best of two worlds—the city and the country—at a price that many are able to afford.Many people will always prefer the hectic(狂热的)pace and excitement of life in the city, while others will want the more tranquil pace of life in the country. But, for those in either city or country who are willing to compromise, the suburbs are waiting.1 Evidence in the third paragraph suggested that______.（A）suburban areas are fully developed（B）farmers are unconcerned about suburban sprawl（C）suburban inhabitants enjoy active social life there（D）educational standards in the suburbs are not lower than those in the cities 2 The strongest argument against the suburbs is that______.（A）suburbanites enjoy the advantages of city life while paying for them （B）suburbs are all the same（C）suburbs are far away（D）suburbs have a lot of space3 What can we learn about the suburban life?（A）Daily communication doesn't characterize the suburban life.（B）Suburbans love apartment living.（C）Home ownership is a dream for the suburbans.（D）Mortgage payment features the suburban life.4 What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?（A）Many different kinds of people live in the suburbs.（B）The style of suburban life is similar to that of urban life.（C）Suburban development has reduced many problems.（D）Suburban development has destroyed the environment.5 The best title for this passage is______.（A）Boring Commuters（B）How to Pay off a Mortgage（C）Life in the Suburbs（D）Urban Congestion5 Nonverbal(非语言的)communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures , movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North Americans when speaking, while the South American often considers the North Americans to be "cold "or " distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don' t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy .6 According to the passage, nonverbal communication______.（A）is a method often used by people who cannot speak（B）can tell something that words cannot（C）can be used to talk with people who cannot hear（D）is less used than words7 The South American______.（A）tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking to （B）usually stands close to the person he is talking to（C）is often unfriendly when speaking（D）is often cold and distant when speaking8 Which of the following is NOT true?（A）Less eye contact suggests distance in relation.（B）The longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.（C）There is more eye contact between people who like each other.（D）Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.9 Too long a gaze______.（A）may upset people being looked at（B）shows one' s great confidence（C）indicates one' s interest in the talk（D）tells you how friendly one is10 Constant smiling without apparent reasons______.（A）is a sign of one' s friendliness（B）is a sign of one' s unfriendliness（C）makes people feel happy（D）makes people feel uncomfortable10 Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24 -44.Income , education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person' s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11 What do we know from the first paragraph?（A）More and more people take up the habit of smoking.（B）There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.（C）It is good news that more people have given up smoking.（D）The U. S. has more smoking people than any other country.12 What factors determine a person' s smoking habit?（A）Age, income and education.（B）Age, sex and income.（C）Occupation, income and sex.（D）Occupation, income and education.13 Which of the following is true according to the passage?（A）City people are less likely to smoke.（B）People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.（C）Men with higher income tend to smoke.（D）Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.14 What is the smoking situation for women?（A）The situation is quite the same for women as for men.（B）Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.（C）There are more women smokers with low incomes.（D）Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.15 What can we say about teenaged smokers?（A）The picture about the teenaged smokers is similar to that of women smokers. （B）The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.（C）High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.（D）Farmers' children tend to smoke more.15 During a state of deep relaxation , several physiological changes take place in the body: the body' s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscletension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic(交感的)nervous systemactivity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but also has a calming effect on the consciousness.How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy. A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal " American psychologist" said that simple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear; the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you.Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis(自我心理分析)andprogressive muscle relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.16 The passage indicates that a state of deep relaxation is not only good for one' s body, but also beneficial to______.（A）heart beat（B）consciousness（C）muscle tension（D）sympathetic nervous system17 People seem to agree that______.（A）sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does（B）what people are struggling for is a state of deep relaxation（C）to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means（D）structured consciousness relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person 18 In the third paragraph, the phrase "getting there" most probably means______. （A）arriving at one' s destination（B）getting what one wants most（C）reaching a state of deep relaxation（D）finding out a suitable relaxation technique19 As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that______.（A）aims are more important than means（B）means are more important than aims（C）some relaxation techniques are better than others（D）more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques 20 The author' s attitude toward relaxation is best described as______. （A）critical（B）objective（C）optimistic（D）subjective。
