Reading Comprehension ( 30 points, 2 points for each item)Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has different effects on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe（灾害）.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communications are affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages—bread, vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on——“just for fear that something bad should happen.”But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Austral ians and the Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs（扫雪机）and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on..21. According to the writer, Britain is a country_____.A which has regular snow B. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a catastropheD. for which snow is a wonder22.The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except_______.A. trafficB. communicationsC. food suppliesD. service quality23 After a few hours’ snowing there are often some shortages of food because______.A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter24.The first reason that the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that________.A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important25 The underlined words “two kinds” in the second paragraph refer to the countries _______.A. which have snow either as a yearly happening to celebrate or as something terrible.B. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughsPassage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity.A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect(发现) fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade(消防队). It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder(入侵者) This will not be very difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the card, and a housebreaker will have to tamper(拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” w ill mean much more. For one thing,you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.26. The author intends to tell us that in 2040_____.A. we will live without lights and heatersB. lights and heaters will go on and off automaticallyC. there will be no switches of lights and heatersD. we will use many more lights and heaters27 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Without a computer, the sensor cannot do much.B. The sensor will detect fire and put it out.C.You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock.D. The sensor is multi-functional28. According to the author, in 2040 new technology will_____.A. free us from the keys we use todayB. eliminate all crimesC. turn everything into sensorsD. make locks out of date29. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people will_____.A. have no entertainment outsideB. have more fun at homeC. replace TV with computersD. be controlled by computers30. The best title for the passage might be _____.A. Lights and Heaters in 2040B. The Development of Science and TechnologyC. Sensors and ComputersD. Life at Home in 2040Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Drunken driving——sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder——has become a national epidemic（流行病）. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decades. Heavy drinking is an acceptable part of the American image and most judges used to be tolerant in court, but the drunken cases have recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however,fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop"responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern(酒馆) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drink” and later drove off the road,killing a nine-year-old boy.31.Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because __ _.A.most Americans are heavy drinkers.B.Americans are now less shocked by road accidents.C.drinking is a socially accepted habit in America.D.accidents attract so much publicity.32.Why has the public opinion regarding drunken driving changed?A. The news media have highlighted the problem.B.Judges are giving more severe sentence.C.Drivers are more conscious of their image.D.Detailed statistics are now available.33.Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that __ _.A.many drivers are not of legal age.B.the legal drinking age should be raised.C. all young drivers were bad drivers.D.the level of drinking increased in the 1960s.ws recently introduced in some states have _ __.A.eliminated serious accidents.B.reduced the number of convictions.C.specified the amount drivers can drink.D.prevented bars from serving drunken customers.35.Why is the problem of drunken driving difficult to solve?A.Alcohol is easily obtained.B.Legal prohibition has already failedC.Legislation alone is not sufficient..D.Drinking is linked to organized crime.IV.

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage 1A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may believe that he is not capable of accomplishing something even though there is no reason for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make use of the most of his mental abilities, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate of his ability. People advanced in years may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be futile. He won't go at a job (尽全力工作) with the confidence necessary for success, and he won't work hard, even though he may think he is doing so. He is, therefore, likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist (精神病医生) , had an experience that illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic (算术) . His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought so that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they, too, developed the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and ended up very poor at arithmetic, just as was expected.One day, however, he became very angry at the teacher and other students because they laughed when he said he knew how to do a problem, which none of the other students had been able to work out.Alfred succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show others that he could. His anger and his newly found confidence stimulated him to be at arithmetic problems with a new vigor. He worked with interest, determination, and purpose. Before long he became00795#综合英语(二)试卷第5页（共12页）extraordinarily good at arithmetic. He not only proved that he could do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own experience that if a person goes at a job with all his heart he may astonish himself as well as others with his ability.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have. Lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.41. The word "futile" in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. unnecessaryB. uselessC. unimportantD. aimless42. Both Alfred's teacher and his parents thought Alfred________.A. had no confidence in himselfB. was lazy in studyC. had no interest in arithmeticD. was slow in arithmetic43. Why did Alfred become angry one day?A. Because he couldn't work out the arithmetic problem.B. Because the teacher didn't show him the arithmetic problem.C. Because he was challenged to solve a difficult arithmetic problem.D. Because no one believed that he could solve the arithmetic problem.44. According to the passage, a person is likely to fail if________.A. he doesn't work hardB. he is too old to learn anythingC. he doesn't have enough knowledgeD. he has accepted a mistaken belief of his ability45. What does Alfred Adler's story tell us?A. Our failures are often caused by our lack of ability.B. Arithmetic is actually not as hard as it seems to be.C. Some teachers expect too much from their students.D. Our self-judgement may have a negative effect on our success.Passage 2When the French Institute in Haiti (海地) asked me to speak on a subject of my own choice, I picked heroism. It's a subject I know well. I've read many books about it.I spoke of some well-known heroes. I suggested that I was something of a hero myself. Then I told how the hero, in the face of danger, discovers all the great, lasting values of life.When I left the platform, a gentleman came to me. "Great lecture," he said. "I'm Doctor Bonbon. I've been asked to make your stay here as pleasant as possible. Would you like to go hunting sharks with me? You seem to enjoy facin00795#综合英语(二)试卷第6页（共12页）danger."I accepted gladly. I saw myself struggling with a huge fish on my rod ...I was to speak again the next afternoon. So we agreed to start early in the morning."By the way," the doctor said as we set out, "you sho uld try out your coucteau.”"My... what？""Your snorkel (潜水呼吸管) . You need to breathe. I'll show you how to work the underwater gun too. What's the matter? Something wrong?"I had to sit down. I tried to tell myself it wasn't so. But there was no doubt about it. I wasn't to fish with a rod. I was to go right down into the water. I opened my mouth to protest ..."You know," the doctor said, "I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed your lecture on courage."I said nothing. There are times when you have to protect your means of earning a living. I was known as a good speaker. If I had to be eaten by sharks to keep my reputation, I was ready. I put on my mask."Now put on the lead belt. It will get you down there instantly," the doctor said. "They'll go down with you." He pointed to the four big men on board.Bodyguards, I thought with relief."They're the beaters (轰赶猎物的人) ," the doctor said. "They'll go ahead and drive the sharks toward you. Then all you have to do is shoot." I didn't have the courage to object. They helped me over the side.At the bottom the first thing I saw was a big fish. I screamed.I can't quite remember what followed. All I know is that, contrary to what I had said in my lecture, in the face of danger the hero does not discover the great values of life. At last I opened my eyes again. The big fish was gone.I tried to retum to the surface. Then I saw a huge form above my head. I seized my gun. I closed my eyes and pressed the trigger.The gun was torn from me.In seconds I was at the surface. Luckily, the boat was near. I was on board in an instant."Where's your gun?" asked the doctor.I explained that I had hit a shark. The beast had torn the weapon from my hands.The four big men were climbing back into the boat now. One of them had my gun. He spoke to the doctor in his native language."It seems," the doctor said to me, "that you shot at the hull of the boat."He was trying to suggest that I had mistaken the boat passing over my head for a shark. The very idea!When I stepped to the platform that afternoon, Doctor Bonbon was sitting in the front row. But I didn't let his mocking stare disturb me. I was determined to rise once more to the level of my subject."Ladies and gentlemen," I began, "when the hero finds himself facing danger, the first thing he discovers ..."00795#综合英语(二)试卷第7页（共12页）46. When he was told that he was to go down into the water, the writer had to sit down probably because ________ .A. he could not control his shaking legsB. he wanted to have a better look at the waterC. he wanted to get ready for the underwater adventureD. he could not help asking Doctor Bonbon some questions47. What happened under the water?A. He shot at a shark.B. He shot at the boat.C. He was attacked by a shark.D. His gun was torn away by a shark.48. In the sentence "But I didn't let his mocking stare disturb me." the word "mocking" could be replaced by ________ .A. amusingB. sneeringC. concerningD. encouraging49. The afternoon speech probably opened in this way, "When the hero finds himself facing danger, the first thing he discovers ________ ."A. is his true selfB. is the life valueC. is his wrong concept of heroismD. is the challenge from other people50. The story was told in the tone of ________ .A. seriousnessB. admirationC. humourD. criticismV.

全国2007年10月高等教育自学考试英语阅读（二）试题课程代码：00596全部题目用英文作答(翻译题除外)，请将答案填在答题纸相应位置上I. Reading Comprehension. (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding, letter on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneElectronic computers are among the fastest and most useful instruments for sorting and comparing in use today. Computers provide means for greater speed and accuracy in working with ideas than had previously been possible. With the development of these new tools, it is as if man has suddenly become a millionaire of the mind.Although man has been growing mentally richer ever since he started to think, the electronic computer allows and will continue to allow him to perform tremendous mental tasks in a relatively short time. Great scientists of the past produced ideas which were the basis for great advances, but their ideas sometimes had to wait for years before they were understood sufficiently well to be of practical use. With the computer, the ideas of today‟s scientists can be studied, tested, distributed, and used more rapidly than ever before.Old lines and methods of communication do not work easily or efficiently with as much information as we have now. The repeated actions of preparing, sorting, filling, distributing, and keeping track of records and publications can be as troublesome as calculating. Errors occur because men grow tired and can be distracted.The basic job of computers is the processing of information. For this reason computers can be defined as devices which accept information, perform mathematical or logical operations with the information, and then supply the results of these operations as new information.Although a sharp dividing line between types of computers is not always easy to see, computers are usually divided into two broad groups: digital and analog. Digital computers work by using specific information which is usually in the form of numbers. Analog computers, on the other hand, usually process continuous information.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 1 页共14 页To explain the differences, let us consider two devices which handle information in a manner similar to the two types of computers. A turnstile, which has a counter attached to it, can help to explain the way a digital computer works. Each time a person passes through the turnstile, the indicator quickly jumps from one number to another. Each number registered is separate and specific.The continuous change in the level of sand in an hourglass as time passes makes it an analog device. Perhaps the first analog computation was the use of graphs for the solution of surveying problems.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.1. Which of the following statements best summarizes the first paragraph?A. Computers have extended the range of our senses.B. Computers have extended the power of our mind.C. Computers have extended the scope of our activities.D. Computers have extended the speed of our reasoning.2. With the help of computers, scientists today are able to ______.A. have their ideas questioned or shared quicklyB. have their new ideas accepted far more widelyC. produce their ideas more rapidlyD. understand new information easily3. According to the passage, computers are mainly used to do the following EXCEPT ______.A. performing math operationsB. processing informationC. supplying solutionsD. storing technical data4. The digital computers are different from analog computers because ______.A. they process continuous informationB. they process specific informationC. they record separate numbersD. they produce vivid pictures5. The tone the writer uses in this passage is ______.A. criticalB. analyticalC. subjectiveD. objectivePassage Two浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 2 页共14 页Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways. Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work. Whenever they want to make an important announcement, they ask, “When shall we let them know?”In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is perhaps not true in some other countries. There it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life. For example, no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. When equals meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.In the western world, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections which are to be kept separate —“one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future, not the future of the South Asian, which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time. “T ime is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. Y ou, the viewer, are walking through the museum in the dark, holding a light to each scene as you pass it. God is in charge of the museum, and only He knows all that is in it. One lifetime represents one r oom.”Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 3 页共14 页6. Which of the following statements is true about the social life in America?A. It is considered foolish that you plan an appointment one week earlier.B. It is impolite that one is informed of an appointment three days earlier.C. The ideas about keeping time in America and in China are not different.D. The fact that who announces an appointment usually matters much.7. Factory managers in America ______.A. usually avoid giving announcements in working hoursB. think the time for an announcement barely makes special meaningC. consult their colleagues before giving very important announcementsD. often consider what is the best time to give important announcements8. According to the passage, in the United States, when you are ______.A. one minute late, you are considered punctualB. two minutes earlier, you are regarded as trustworthyC. ten minutes late, you should give a long explanationD. five minutes late, you should make a short apology9. The American philosophical idea of time is that one should ______.A. do one thing at a timeB. avoid delaying his workC. plan for the distant futureD. constantly evaluate his plans10. The Asian philosophical idea of time is that time is ______.A. like a dark museum where one sees littleB. like a candle light shining in a dark museumC. like a scaring trip on the road to the unknown futureD. like a tour into a mysterious and supernatural worldPassage ThreeSpelunking has been called “mountain climbing upside down in the dark”. However, this description is not entirely accurate. The mountain climber knows where he is going. He climbs a mountain because it is there. A spelunker, on the other hand, doesn‟t know what is there. All he sees when he enters a wild cave is a hole in the surface of the earth —a very dark hole. Once he gets inside he may find it runs only a few hundred feet or, like one cave in Switzerland, more than浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 4 页共14 页35 miles. He may find big hall, subway like tunnels, rivers or strange and beautiful limestone formations.Some spelunkers have become famous for their discoveries. Several years ago Norbert Castreet, a Frenchman, was exploring a cave that had a rapidly flowing underground river. He followed the river until it went under a cave wall and disappeared. Wearing a bathing suit and a rubber cap, he dived into the river. He surfaced on the other side of the cave wall and found a huge hall untouched and undisturbed for tens of thousands of years.My wife and I became spelunkers almost by accident. We were driving down the Pan-American Highway to Mexico City when I noticed several black openings up in the mountains near the road. I stopped and asked what they were, and learned that they were a network of large caves. Following a guide, we were climbing slowly up the mountain. When we reached the top, a large opening appeared under an overhanging cliff. Inside was a smaller hole covered by a wooden door. Taking a gasoline lamp in one hand, the guide opened the door. We followed him down the smooth cement steps. Strange shapes moved on the walls as his lamp swung back and forth at each step.This was a limestone cave, formed hundreds of thousands of years ago by the slow dripping of water through the cracks of the rock. The guide pointed out formations that looked like horses, tigers, hands and plants.When we left the cave about an hour later, we saw a sign mentioning the National Speleological Society. Our interest awakened, we noted the address and wrote for further information. The reply informed that there were “grottoes”, local chapter of the society, all over the United States. We joined one that was near our home. Soon we were making our first trip through a wild, unmapped cave. That was 12 years ago. Since then I have explored caves in Europe, Central and South America, and all over the United States.Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11. According to the passage, the difference between spelunking and mountain climbing lies in thefact that ______.A. the former does not know what to find in exploring while the latter doesB. the former goes downward in most cases and the latter goes upward浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 5 页共14 页C. it is more dangerous to do spelunking than mountain climbingD. it is more exciting in spelunking than in mountain climbing12. Which of the following statements is true about Norbert Castreet?A. He was famous for his discoveries of new caves.B. The cave he explored is famous for its underwater fiver.C. He discovered a very old huge hall on the other side of the wall of the cave.D. The old hall he discovered had been used as a hidden place of some pirates.13. The author and his wife ______.A. had planned carefully for their first spelunkingB. explored their first cave rather unexpectedlyC. spent time looking for a suitable cave to start their first explorationD. were convinced by their friends that spelunking was a good sport14. The author and his wife explored their first cave ______.A. for several hoursB. on their ownC. just for a short timeD. with a guide and a guard15. The author, and his wife joined the society of spelunking as they were_______.A. recommended by their friendsB. attracted by an advertisementC. encouraged by an article in the newspaperD. intrigued by a local chapter of the society Passage FourThe word population reached 6.6 billion this year, up from 6 billion in 1999. By 2025, researchers expect nearly 8 billion people will be living on the planet. Ninety-nine percent of those new inhabitants will be in developing countries.Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. Those statistics come from an annual demographic snapshot of global population numbers and trends, produced by the Population Reference Bureau.Rachel Nugent, an economist with the research group, points to the population shifts that are occurring now from Bangladesh to India or from India, Egypt and Y emen to the Persian Gulf.She says people are moving within the developing world for the same reasons they migrate 浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 6 页共14 页to wealthier nations. “People from very poor countries [are] going to less poor countries, people fleeing wars and conflict.” She adds that they are also responding to population pressures because, she says, “some countries are very densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere, and they are often going looking for jobs.”Nugent says migration from Guatemala to Mexico is one such example. “And many Guatemalans go to Mexico, probably 25,000 a year that stay and 100,000 a year that go back and fort h. And that is a pretty high proportion of the Guatemalan population.”The United Nations projects that by 2050, the population of Europe, now at 750 million, will fall by 75 million; and Japan, home to 128 million people, will lose 16 million. Population Reference Bureau senior demographer and survey author Carl Haub says this is going to be a threat to economic health.“The number of young people in many European countries is half of the size of their parents‟ generation,” he says, “So what you see today are the corporations, the health care system in this country saying, …Listen! We can‟t find workers. We haven‟t had enough workers and now we can‟t find workers.‟ So they will have to come from some place and that‟s going to have to come from outside the c ountry.”Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four.16. Which of the following population shifts is talked about in the third paragraph?A. From developing countries to developed countries.B. From poor countries to rich or wealthier countries.C. From war-ridden countries to countries free of wars.D. From developing countries to developing countries.17. According to Rachel Nugent, people migrated because of the following reasons EXCEPT______.A. fleeing conflicts at homeB. looking for jobsC. getting away from warsD. seeking for freedom18. Which is true about Guatemalans‟ migrating to Mexico?A. Most of them stay there permanently and become citizens.B. They go there because of the economic depression at home.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第7 页共14 页C. Many of them go back to their own country disappointedly.D. They go there because of the population pressure at home.19. The population in Europe and Japan is ______.A. shrinkingB. decliningC. increasingD. exploding20. “New inhabitants” in the first paragraph refer to ______.A. people who migrate from one country to anotherB. people who will live on other planets in spaceC. people who will be born in the next decadesD. people who live in newly-established countriesPassage FiveIn a competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Y et underneath their labels, the products are often nearly identical. One manufacturer‟s toothpaste tends to differ from another‟s. Thus manufacturers are confronted with a problem — how to keep sales high enough to stay in business. Manufacturers solve this problem by advertising. They try to appeal to consumers in various ways. In fact, advertisements may be classified into three types according to the kind of appeals they use.One type of advertisem ent tries to appeal to the consumer‟s reasoning mind. It may offer a claim that seems scientific. For example, it may say the dentists recommend Flash toothpaste. In selling a product, the truth of the advertising may be less important than the appearance of truth. A scientific approach gives the appearance of truth.Another type of advertisement tries to amuse the potential buyer. Products that are essential boring, such as insecticide, are often advertised in an amusing way. One way of doing this is to make the products appear alive. For example, the advertisers may personify cans of insecticide, and show them attacking mean-faced bugs. Ads of this sort are silly, but they also tend to be amusing. Advertisers believe that consumers are likely to remember and buy products that the consumers associate with fun.Associating the product with something pleasant is the technique of the third type of appeal. In this class are ads that suggest that the product will satisfy some basic human desires. One such浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第8 页共14 页desire is the wish to be admired by other people. Many automobile advertisements are in this category. They imply that other people will admire you, may even be jealous, when they see you driving the hot, new Aardvark car.Another powerful desire to which advertisements appeal is the desire for love. Thus ads for bandages are unlikely to emphasize the way the bandages are made or their low cost; instead, the ads may show a mother tenderly binding up and then kissing her small boy‟s cut finger. In the picture there is an open package of Ouch Bandage. The advertiser hopes the consumer will mentally insert an equal sign to create the equation “Ouch Bandage = Love”.One only needs to look through a magazine or watch an hour of TV in order to see examples of these three different advertising strategies.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21. We can infer from the passage, when there are different brands of toothpaste ______.A. the products are different from each otherB. the products are more or less the sameC. those brands may have different market valuesD. those brands may vary only in name or color22. A scientific approach in ads may ______.A. impress the consumers more of the productB. mislead the consumers to buy the productC. keep the consumers well informed of the productD. help the consumers see the true value of the product23. “The potential buyer” (para.3) in this context probably refers to______.A. those who may enjoy fun adsB. those who may be amused by the productC. those who may probably buy the productD. those who may be addicted to buying24. What is associated with bandages in the ads, according to paragraph 5?A. Human love from everyone.B. Sympathy from the majority.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第9 页共14 页C. Mother‟s love for her child.D. Insertion of love in people‟s m inds.25. What does the passage imply?A. People should have a clear mind not to be easily lured by the advertisements.B. More scientific methods should be used to make advertisements imaginative.C. Addressers should be cleverer to make their products attractive.D. People‟s desire can be more satisfied by the improved advertisements.II. Vocabulary. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the brackets after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is. Write the word you choose on the Answer Sheet.It‟s early August and the countryside appears peaceful. Planting has long been finished and the fields are alive with strong, healthy crops. Soybeans and wheat are flourishing under the hot summer sun. And the corn, which was “keen-high by the fourth of jolly” is now well over six feet tall. Herds of dairy and beef cattle are grazing peacefully in rolling pastures which surround big, red barns and neat white farmhouses. Everything as far as the eye can see radiates a sense of prosperity. Welcome to the Midwest —one of the most fertile agricultural regions of the world.The tranquility of the above scene is misleading. Farmers in the Midwest put in some of the longest workdays of any profession in the United States. In addition to caring for their crops and livestock, they have to keep up with new farming techniques, such as those for combining soil erosion and increasing livestock production. It is essential that farmers adopt these advances in technology if they want to continue to meet the growing demands of a hungry world.Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the country‟s leading export. Corn and soybean exports alone account for approximately 75 per cent of the amount sold in the world markets. This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Every year wind and water remove tons of rich soil from the nation‟s cropland, with the result that soil erosion has become a national problem concerning everyone from the farmer to the consumer. Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is richest in the nutrient and minerals necessary浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第10 页共14 页for growing crops. Ever since the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago, cultivation and consequently erosion have been depleting the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s, nearly two feet of rich, black top soil covered the Midwest.26. growing well or thriving in growth as a plant (Para. 1)27. pieces of grassland for cattle to feed on (Para. 1)28. of land that produces good crops (Para. 1)29. the state of calmness and peacefulness (Para. 2)30. the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers,winds, waves and so on (Para. 2)31. the animals that are kept or raised on a farm (Para. 2)32. the degree to which workers, farmers, companies etc. are able to produce efficiently (Para. 3)33. the surface or upper part of the soil (Para. 3)34. nourishing substance in the farmland (Para. 3)35. lessening greatly in quantity, contents, power or value (Para. 3)III. Summarization. (20 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this section of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraph is followed by an incomplete phrase or sentence which summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.Paragraph OneEvery culture has specific rules of courtesy and certain words for special situation. What are considered polite manners in one culture might be terribly rude in another. One of the difficulties of learning a foreign language is learning what is considered polite and rude in the culture of that language.36. Using language p_______ within its culture.Paragraph TwoChange is the most changeless thing in the universe. We need to accept all changes —welcome or unwelcome —with the understanding that nothing comes to stay, but only to pass. As two things can never occupy the same space at the same time, one change makes way for the next.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第11 页共14 页37. C_______ is inevitable.Paragraph ThreeWhen Richard Wagner felt out of sorts, he would rave and stamp, or sink into suicidal gloom and talk darkly of going to the East to end his days as Buddhist monk. Ten minutes later, when something pleased him, he would rush out of doors and run around the garden, or jump up and down on the sofa.38. Richard Wagner had some emotional p_______.Paragraph FourAnyone who wants to improve his relationship with others should show a sympathetic understanding. The way to express this understanding and to give others the feeling of importance and worthiness lies in this: always look for something in other people you can admire and praise and tell them about it.39. The a_______ of praising.Paragraph FiveEducation teaches a child to realize that he is not thrown into the world by chance, he has his part to play. He will learn what is useful to him and society at large. Education imparts a great deal of knowledge to his mind and encourages a child to work hard.40. The p_______ of education.Paragraph SixEverybody wastes time. Instead of doing their homework, school boys watch television. Writers neglect their work, and wander in the room making cups of coffee and daydreaming. They all have good intentions, but they keep putting off the moment when they must start work. As a consequence, they feel guilty, and then waste more time.41. The vicious c_______ of wasting time.Paragraph SevenA baby has little memory, but as he grows, he remembers things gradually. Later when he comes to .school age, he is guided to improve his memory by practice. Short poems are given to him to study by heart when he reaches primary stage, so that his mind will not get rusty from disuse.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第12 页共14 页42. A way to d_______ a child‟s memory.Paragraph EightExperts say that moods are emotions that tend to become fixed, influencing one‟s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. Perhaps the best way to deal with bad moods is to talk them out. So next time you feel out of sorts, don‟t head for the drugstore—try the way above-mentioned. 43. How to d_______ with a bad mood.Paragraph NineWillpower is not some unchangeable characteristics we are born with. It is skill that can be developed, strengthened and targeted to help us achieve our goals. For every obstacle we want to overcome, we need willpower, which is an inner strength that will push us to confront challenge and keep us going.44. Willpower can be n_______.Paragraph TenPeople go abroad for various individual purposes. Those who are highly educated are often appointed by their home government to go abroad to act as diplomats or trade commissioners. Some sales representatives are sent by their firms to various parts of the globe to make known their products in order to increase sales.45. R_______ for going abroad.IV. T ranslation. (20 points, 4 points for each)Directions: In the following passage, there are five groups of underlined sentences. Read the passage carefully and then translate these sentences into Chinese. Write the Chinese version on your Answer Sheet.Computers should be in the schools. They have the potential to accomplish great things.46. With the fight software, they could help make science tangible or teach neglected topics like art and music. They could help students form a concrete idea of society by displaying on-screen a version of the city in which they live — a picture that tracks real life moment by moment.In practice, however, computers make our worst educational nightmares come true.47. While we bemoan the decline of literacy, computers discount words in favor of pictures and pictures in favor of video. While we fret about the decreasing cogency of public debate,浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第13 页共14 页computers dismiss linear argument and promote fast, shallow romps across the information landscape. While we worry about basic skills, we allow into the classroom software that will do a stu dent‟s arithmetic or correct his spelling.Take multimedia. The idea of multimedia is to combine text, sound and pictures in a single package that you browse on screen. Y ou do not just read Shakespeare; you watch actors performing, listen to songs and so on. What is wrong with that? 48. By offering children candy-coated books, multimedia is guaranteed to sour them on unsweetened reading. It makes the printed page look even more boring than it used to look. Sure, books will be available in the classroom, too. But they will have all the appeal of dusty piano to a teen who has a Walkman handy.Hypermedia, is just as troubling. It is a way of presenting documents on screen without imposing a linear start-to-finish order. Disembodied paragraphs are linked by theme; after reading one about the First World War, for example, you might be able to choose another about the technology of battleships or the life of Woodrow Wilson. 49. This is another cute idea that is good in minor ways and terrible in major ones. Teaching children to understand the orderly unfolding of a plot or a logical argument is a crucial part of education.Authors do not merely agglomerate paragraphs; they work hard to make the narrative read a certain way, prove a particular point. 50. To turn a book or a document into hypertext is to invite readers to ignore exactly what counts —the story. The real problem, again, is the accentuation of the already bad habits. Dynamiting documents into disjointed paragraphs is one more expression of the sorry fact that sustained argument is not our style. If you are a newspaper or magazine editor and your readership is dwindling, what is the solution? Shorter pieces. If you are a politician and you want to get elected, what do you need? Tasty sound bites. Logical presentation be damned.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第14 页共14 页。

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage 1Friendship and friends continue to remain central to our lives. The relationship that we share with our friends is grounded in a mutual concern as our friends help us in shaping up our personalities as well. Even in this age of online social networking, the need of expanding the network of friends, whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people. We may have a very vague understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good many friends around us.Research has shown that the quality and nature of your friends are one of the key influencing factors in achieving happiness and satisfaction. Friends often affect the health and energy of a person as well. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and mutual sharing rather than communicating to their relatives; this sociological phenomenon has escalated the desire to make more friends. Though friendship is a relationship developed between two individuals marked by a voluntary, emotional and mutual concern, there are certain steps, which, if followed, can win you friends or at least help you get close to those whom you want to make friends with.The first s tep to make friends with someone is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are genuinely interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his first name can lay the basic foundation. To make the other person feel important you need to be a good listener and encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not overtly criticize or make fun of him or her.The second step of making someone your friend is to develop a mutual consideration between each other. You need to share his or her perspective and for that it is necessary for you to develop a tendency to see things from the otherperson’s point of view. To become best of friends you must show a genuine concern and consideration for your friend’s desires and opinions.The third and final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to befriend matches with what that person can and want to contribute in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is assured to grow, making both of you gratified with mutual emotional bonding.Friendship has overwhelming significance on both social and individual levels. Friendship doesn’t only provide us with emotional as well as practical support but it also helps us improve our personal identities. So it is quite natural to feel the urge to reach out and make new friends, expanding your friend’s circle. Friendship remains familiar yet quite ambiguous (模糊的) for our deeper understanding, but then again, friends remain the most important ingredients in the recipe of life!41. The relationship between friends is based on ______.A. the social networking around friendsB. friends’ caring and helping each otherC. the style friends choose to communicateD. an unclear understanding of what makes a friend42. Which of the following statements has been proved correct?A. The better quality your friends have, the happier you will be.B. Communication with friends is healthier than that with relatives.C. The more friends you have, the more satisfied you are with yourself.D. Those you like in the first place are more likely to become your friends.43. The word “escalated” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. intensifiedB. challengedC. shiftedD. resisted44. It can be inferred from the first suggested step that ______ is NOT likely to win you friends.A. making others talkB. being very talkativeC. telling people you like themD. addressing others in an informal way45. What structure does the author use to organize this passage?A. Effect- cause.B. Comparison- contrast.C. General- specific- general.D. Definition - explanation - example.Passage2Every single student that applies for a class or course online has certain expectations and they are often extremely high. Unfortunately for most individuals, they will be disappointed. It is a fact that the majority of individuals believe that they will actually enjoy every aspect of their course. The truth is that there is very little in a degree to inspire until an individual actually completes the course and is awarded the degree or certificate that could change his or herlife. This is no different with an online education and, in fact, the disappointment may be more obvious because they may face extra difficulties in an online course.Online education expectations are often incredibly high, as previously stated, in terms of what an individual can get from it as well as the manageability of the content itself. However, although an individual will ultimately be proven right about what he or she can get from it, this will not be the case for manageability. Most online education courses are anything but manageable for those who decide to take them. The level of work would be the same as any other degree or qualification course, but an individual is expected to manage it on his or her own instead of having a tutor or lecturer there to remind him or her about assignments and deadlines. Time management is extremely important, but the nature of these indi viduals’ life often makes it impossible to manage without feeling the stresses and strains of the burden.It is important to be realistic with your expectations concerning an online education course, but many are completely unrealistic. If you read any of the accounts from students that have already taken and may have even passed an online education course, many will speak in glowing terms; but you should also read between the lines.They claim that their expectations will ultimately be fulfilled in terms of the long-term benefits. However, in the short term they may say they found it difficult to cope with the workload, the lack of time that they actually had to complete it, an unsupportive employer and so on. This last point may not be an issue if you are doing it to advance yourself within your current workplace, but there will otherwise be some sort of resentment bubbling under the surface and that can indeed make your life a misery for a little while. If you expect it and prepare for it then it should not bother you too much, and if the resentment does not come then so much the better!In terms of your own expectations, the best attitude to have is not to go in with any at all. If you do not expect anything then you may be pleasantly surprised. It can be difficult to fit an online education in with personal commitments, such as a family to look after or a job to go to every day whilst trying to study. It does take a lot of effort, but if you do not expect it to be easy or expect that you will just be able to do it without the balance of your life being upset as a result, then you will probably find that you do get a sense of satisfaction from it! Similarly, ifyou expect the worst then you will probably be pleasantly surprised! Managing your expectations can be difficult, but do not let them get the better of you !46. The manageability is more difficult in online courses than in any other course because ______.A. online courses require higher level of workB. online courses bring much more assignmentsC. online course takers have no way to contact their lecturersD. online course takers have to rely on themselves for management47. According to the passage, one may not have the problem of an unsupportive employer if ______.A. he is fully prepared to deal with any resentment from his bossB. his online education will be beneficial to his current workplaceC. his expectations will be fulfilled in the form of long-term benefitsD. he can discuss the issue width his boss openly and bravely on the table48. Acc ording to the writer of this passage, one’s satisfaction in online education might come from ______.A. high expectationsB. diligent effortsC. a realistic attitudeD. a proper balance49. In the last sentence of this passage, the phrase “get the better of you” probably means “______”.A. make a fool of youB. take advantage of youC. get too fancy for you to imagineD. become too high for you to control50. This passage is written mainly for the purpose of______.A. inspiring its readers to fulfill their expectations through hard workB. persuading its readers to be more practical with their personal commitmentsC. informing its readers about the disadvantages of the courses they take onlineD. preparing its readers for the hardships they may encounter in online educationV.
