Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition.

Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD. Kavya had a strong sense of competitionPassage ThreeNothing says "Happy Birthday!" like having a coin released in your honor by the United States Mint(铸币局), and 2009 has become an especially festive year as the Mint rolled out nine different coinsin honor of Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday.Four pennies with new designs on the reverse side were issuedstarting February 12. The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45.

Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved."

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

However,in primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth,shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable,durable, recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value–the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content.Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay.”Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a would where “money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons. ()56.“Barter”(in Line2,Paragraph1)here means_______.A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchanging goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods()57.Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A.Because they were durable and portableB.Because they were recognizableC.Because they were divisibleD.All of the above()58.Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them____.A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries()59.“Promises to pay”(Lines6-7,Paragraph2)means_______.A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay()60.A world without any money in the from of coins and paper is________.A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableTask4(3points each;15points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task I(No.61through No.65)In most lectures,several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts(思想)the lecturer wants the students to remember.Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an“umbrella”covering the other main concepts.The students’job,then,is to pick out the main concepts, including the“umbrella”ideal.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the“umbrella”idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented.The final part of a lecture, the conclusion,is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is also the place where the “umbrella”idea can most easily be repeated,restated,restated,or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized,with a clear-cut beginning,middle and end,the main ideas are usually easy to pock out.When a lecture is not well organized,getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are“long-winded”,taking a long time to come to the point. Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember________.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,______and_______according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both______and_______of a lecture are put forward in the introduction.64.A lecture with a neatly-planned_______,_______and________is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_______of a lecture and it is also the place where the______is mostly mentioned again.IV.Translation(35points)(I)Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66 through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all)mentioned again66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.of all living things,only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help themselves realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.(II)Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70 through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精力干他喜欢的事了。

Your SuggestionsThe trainees with various educational backgrounds differ much in their English proficiency. I suggest that the school divide them into several classes according to their performance in the test given before training. It is better to organize the English Corner twice a week instead of once a week, and to invite some teachers to join in this kind of oral English activities. Since the school sits at the seaside with poor traffic andinsufficient commercial facilities nearby, I suggest that the school offer shuttle bus service so that trainees can conveniently go downtown to buy daily necessities. The Benefits of Traveling with FriendsNowadays more and more people are becoming interested in traveling. Some prefer to travel alone, while others prefer to go out with friends. Personally I like to travel with friends.When traveling with friends, I can enjoy the pleasure of talking with my partners, sharing my joy with them. Sometimes it is more economical to travel with friends. A tourgroup often gets more discounts than a single traveler. Moreover, friends can also help each other when in trouble.We can safely say that traveling with friends has many benefits. It is better than going out alone, and can make the journey more funny and enjoyable.。

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. Flying in a circle over the hive .53.If a bee wags its tail at a very fast speed, it tries to tell other bees that ______.A. it has found a big amount of food .B. the food it has found is especially goodC. the food source is far awayD. they have to fly to the food source very quickly54.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The bees that have found food carry the smell of the flowers they have found .B. Bees can tell other bees about the quality of the food .C. Bees can tell other bees how high the food is.D. Bees can tell other bees about the amount of the food.55. We can infer from the passage that______.A. flowers are the food source of beesB. bees cannot find food that is far awayC. Karl von Frisch'S experiment shows that bees cannot really com-municate with one antherD. Bees will do round dancing if the food is twenty meters awayTask ThreeTo be a good teacher ,you need some of the gifts of a good actor,you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience 。
2010英语专转本试卷
2010年专转本英语考试试卷第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage .Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes , and that our Grandmas think We’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice .If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.( )1.You need to build a positive self-image when you________.A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself( )2.According to the passage, our self-images________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions( )3.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A. Keep a different image of others.B. Make your life successful.C. Understand your ownD. Change the way you think.( )4.What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.( )5.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. AdolescentsC. EducatorsD. People in general.Passage 2Questions6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as“honor”help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect .We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.( )6.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship ( )7. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to______.A.1yingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising( )8. The phrase “bringing the error t o clerk’s attention” (Para.5)means________.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item ( )9.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’11 have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.( )10.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through HonorablePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .“Sesame Street”(芝麻街)has been called“the longest street in the world”.That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation’s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from“Sesame Street”are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching“Sesame Street”.Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.Why has“sesame street”been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the. educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch“Sesame Street”along with their children. This is party because famous adult stars often appear on“Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.( )11.Why has“Sesame Street” been called“the longest street in the World'”?A. The program has been shown ever since1969.B. The program became one of America’s major exports soon after it appeared on TV.C. The program is now being watched in most parts of the world.D. The program is made in the longest street in New York.( )12.Some educators are critical of the program because ________.A. they don’t think it fit for children in every respect.B. it takes the children too much time to watch it.C. it causes problems between Children who have watched it and those who have notD. some parents attach too much importance to it( )13. So many children in the United States watch the program because_________.A. it uses songs, stories and jokes to give them basic knowledgeB. it is arranged for most children to watch it regularlyC. tests have shown that it is beneficial to themD. both A and B( ) 14.Mothers often watch the program along with their children because_________.A. they enjoy the program as much as their childrenB. they find their children have benefited from watching the programC. they are attracted by some famous adult stars on the showD. they can learn some educational theories from the program( )15.What is the most important reason for the success of the program according to the author?A. The creators have good educational theories in making the program.B. The young viewers find they can learn something from it.C. Famous adult stars often appear in the program.D. It gets support from the government and private businesses.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s Negotiator (房地产推销员)——as he is called——will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.He will show you the details of a whole range of properties；many of them are not really what you are looking for at a11.That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.The printed details he will give you are called“particulars”.Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say“delightfully situated”. That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.Basically, all that you need to know about a house is：how many bedrooms it has；an indication of their size；whether the house has a garage；whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house；whether it is semi-detached or terraced(联排的).( )16.The Estate Agent’s Negotiator will _______.A. want all the details of your financial circumstancesB. want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a houseC. check your financial position with the XYZ Building SocietyD. accept any statement you make about your financial position（）17.The author believes_________.A. it is better to be given information about too many properties than too fewB. you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buyC. the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mindD. it doesn’t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in( )18.The adjectives in Agent’s particulars are _________.A. accurateB. helpfulC. both accurate and helpfulD. safe to ignore( )19.The Trades Description Act applies ________.A. house agents onlyB. most estate agentsC. any traderD. buyers of houses( )20.The phrase“going as far as they dare”(Para.4)probably means_________.A. covering as wide an area as possibleB. selling houses as far from the estate agent's houses as possibleC. telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about it .D. trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractivePart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)( )21.Scientists will have to________ new methods of increasing the world’s food supply in order to solve the problem of famine in some places.A. come up forB. come down withC. come down toD. come up with( )22.I’d like to rent a house, modem, comfortable and _______ in a quiet and safe neighborhood.A. all in allB. above allC. after allD. over all( )23.

A【34】employer may want to know a number of important things. What are your qualifications? What achievements have you【35】? And what are your aims? The【36】paragraph is perhaps the most important part. Try【37】your opening sentences to the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires.【38】clear about the kind of job for which your’re now applying. College graduates 【39】for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter? “ Employers want to know about your experience. Certainly, a beginner has【40】experience. The answer is that everything you【41】is experience. 【42】is important to write good strong closing words for your letter. Ask for an interview or give the possible employer something【43】to do or expect. An excellent idea is to enclose an envelope 【44】your address and a stamp.

It is anexcellent swimmer. The dolphin seems to flash through the water. Like fish, dolphins are completely at home in the water. There they play, feed, sleep, and give birth to their young. Dolphins live in the sea and can live only in the sea. Yet they are not fish. A dolphin must come to the surface to breathe. Fish can take oxygen from the water. Dolphins cannot. Like us, they breathe with lungs and must take their oxygen from the air. And they are mammals (哺乳动物). Most mammals are land animals. Dolphins are evolved (进化) from land animals. Long ago, dolphin ancestors (祖先) left the land for the sea. Among the animals was a kind that would become the dolphin we know. No one is sure exactly what kind of animal it was. But there is reason to think it was related to grass-eating animals like the cow. Modern dolphins are fish-eaters. Yet their stomachs are like those of animals that eat plants. The make-up of their blood is also like that of grass-eating animals.46．The best title for this passage is______.A．DolphinsB．FishC．MammalsD．Cows正确答案：A47．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．A dolphin is a special kind of fish.B．Dolphins can’t swim very quickly.C．Dolphins can live only in the sea.D．Dolphins produce their babies on land.正确答案：C48．Different from fish, dolphins______.A．live on landB．breathe with lungsC．breathe under waterD．live without oxygen正确答案：B49．Dolphins are evolved from______.A．fish-eating mammalsB．sea animalsC．grass-eating fishD．land animals正确答案：D50．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Dolphins have highly evolved.B．Mammals don’t eat plants at all.C．All fishes developed from land animals.D．Dolphins were once closely related to humans.正确答案：AMany students who participated in the2010 civil service exams (公务员考试) in China saw them as the “most difficult”, due to their emphasis on general knowledge. This year, the Chinese central government offices have opened 15, 000 posts but it’s not large enough to find a home for the one million people applying. According to a 2009 Washington Post report, US students are also giving government jobs a hard look. “The Partnership for Public Service”poll (民意调查) found that about 90% of US students are interested in federal (联邦政府的) jobs. Nearly 84% gave the security offered by federal jobs as a reason. The same goes for students in the UK. A 2008 Daily Mail report found that applications from college graduates for government civil service jobs have surged 33% over 2007. Besides providing financial security, civil service jobs usually offer other benefits, especially in Asia. In India, for example, the average annual income is about $720, but for a civil servant, it’s $8, 116—more than 10 times higher. Plus, civil servants get a one-month paid holiday every year, 20 days of medical leave and 20-day half-paid vacation.51．The2010 civil service exams in China were thought the “most difficult”because______.A．most of the students hadn’t prepared wellB．the exams emphasized general knowledgeC．too many people were interested in civil servicesD．students were not good at answering the questions正确答案：B52．US students are also giving government jobs a hard look, according to______.A．Washington PostB．Daily MailC．the US federal governmentD．the Chinese central government正确答案：A53．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “surged” ( in Para. 3) ?A．Improved.B．Failed.C．Increased.D．Decreased.正确答案：C54．The civil servants’ annual income in India is______.A．as much as 8, 116 dollarsB．no more than 720 dollarsC．less than the average annual incomeD．the same as the average annual income正确答案：A55．This passage is mainly about______.A．what benefits a civil servant can enjoyB．how to get a desirable salary as one expectsC．why the students complained about the examsD．why so many people want to be civil servants正确答案：DWith the average number of children in a British family falling beneath 2.0, the population of the UK has been falling for quite a few years. The size of the British workforce (劳动力) is becoming smaller and the average age of the workforce is rising. This trend is quite worrying for the British economy. Why aren’t the British having as many children as they used to? Well, there is a whole range of reasons. One of them is that British people are now having their children at a much older age than before, meaning they have fewer vears in which they can have children. Most young people today want a well-paid job, meaning they usually have to go to university. After years of study at university, they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but it’s very expensive to buy a house in the UK. The above also explains why British young people now don’t move out of their parents’home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. It’s only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child.56．Paragraph 1 tells us that______.A．the size of the workforce is becoming largerB．the population of the UK has been on the riseC．the workers of the UK are much younger than beforeD．the average number of children in a British family is falling正确答案：D57．Why do the British now have fewer children than before?A．They have a well-paid job.B．They don’t want to have children.C．They have their children at a much older age.D．They have no time to look after their children.正确答案：C58．If British young people want to get the job they want, they______.A．should have at least two childrenB．have to be more than 30 years oldC．should have been married for yearsD．need a few years of work experience正确答案：D59．Why do British young people live with their parents till around 30?A．They can’t afford to buy a house.B．They haven’t got their children yet.C．They have to look after their parents.D．They are used to living with their parents.正确答案：A60．What aspect of the UK is discussed in the passage?A．Education.B．Families.C．Economy.D．Workforce.正确答案：BLadies and gentlemen, It is my special pleasure to welcome our new staff member, Mr. Simon Anderson. He has come here from Australia. He has recently graduated from the North Bank University where he majored in TESL ( Teaching English as a Second Language). He is young and full of energy.

You are required to read the passages below carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions : After reading the following passage, you will find five questions or unfinished statements ( No.46 to No. 50). For each question or statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parentscan have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.46. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because .A. they have to look after their kidsB. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money47. In paragraph 2, “a way out” m eans .A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint48.

All of the above.50. The passage mainly discusses .A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparentsTask 2Directions : This task ( No. 51 to No. 55) is the same as Task l.It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-waming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international waming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early waming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it' s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.51. The first paragraph tells us that .A. man can easily defeat the natureB. tsunamis take place only in JapanC. man' s ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD. the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible52. To prevent tsunami-damage, the following measures canbe taken EXCEPTA. designing firm buildingsB. developing early-warning systemsC. developing evacuation strategiesD. keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis53.

Which of the following statements is correct according to che passage?A. The total prevention of tsunamis is possible.B. Rich countries are less affected by tsunamis than poor countries.C. Approaching tsunamis can possibly be picked up by sensors.D. An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.Task 3Directions : This task( No. 56 to No. 60) the same as Task l.Tuangou , also called team buying or group buying, is a recently developed shopping strategy starting in China. Severalpeople connect over the Internet and agree to contact a seller of a specific product so that they can buy the same item as a group at a lower price. And the sellers benefit by selling many products at once.When people agree on group buying,individual members of the buying group can vouch for (替………担保)a particular seller’s quality to the rest of the group,therefore Tuangou helps of similar phenomena in Euroupe and North America.However,most of the group buying in these places is organized and done not by the team members themselves,but through online go-betweens.56. Where did Tudngou begin?A. In America.B. In Europe.C. In North America.D. In China.57. Buyers purchase goods as a group in order to .A. save moneyB. connect over the InternetC. buy different itemsD. make friends58. Sellers in the group buying benefit by .A. paying lessB. selling many produdcts at onceC. bargaining with each buyerD. selling goods at a higher price59.

What does the word "go-betweens" mean in the last paragraph?A. Online shopping.B. Going from one place to another.C. Traveling between two places.D. Persons or companies that pass messages between sellers and buyersTask 4Directions: This task (No. 61 to No. 65) is the same as Task l.Facial expressions carry meanings that are partly determined by culture. For example, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do, so teachers in the United States sometimes have trouble knowing whether their Japanese students understand and enjoy their lessons.Another example is the smile. As a common facial expression, it may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise(掩饰) true feelings. But in different cultures. smiles have different meanings. Many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even a suspicious behavior.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places, for American culture a smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Therefore some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don' t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.61. The best title for this passage is .A. Russian CultureB.American CultureC. Facial FunctionsD.Facial Expressions and Culture62. American teachers sometimes have trouble understanding Japandse students in class because Japanese students .A. do not show their emotions as freely as American stydents doB. are similar to American students in showing emotionsc. only express their emotions when permittedD. do not know what to say63. A smile is typically an expression of in American culture.A. embarrassmentB. politenessC. sadnessD.pleasure64. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Russians think smiling at strangers is a proper behavior.B. Russians usually smile as frequently as Americans do.C. Many Americans smile freely at strangers in public.D. Russians and Americans have the same opinion of smiles.65. Vietnamese people may end the sad story with a smile to .A. show affectionB. disguise emotional painC. covey politenessD. show happinessTask 5Directions: The following is a reception plan. After reading it，you are required to answer each of the five questions( No. 66 to No. 70) in no more than three words. The answers are required to be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.。

安徽专升本历年英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Anhui Professional Upgrade Exam: English Past Papers and AnswersHey there, friends! Are you getting ready to take the big English exam for the Anhui Professional Upgrade? Don't worry, your pal Claude is here to give you the inside scoop on what to expect.First things first, let's talk about what this exam is all about. You see, some students in Anhui want to upgrade their qualifications and go from a junior college diploma to a bachelor's degree. But to do that, they need to take a series of tests, including English. Pretty cool, right?Now, I know what you're thinking: "English exams? Ugh, those are so boring!" But trust me, these past papers are actually kind of fun. They've got a little bit of everything – reading comprehension, writing, grammar, you name it! It's like a big adventure through the world of English.Speaking of adventures, let me tell you about one of my favorite past reading passages. It was all about a group of kids who went camping in the mountains. They had to put up their tents, build a campfire, and even fend off a family of curious bears! Can you imagine? The questions asked you to retell the story and explain why certain things happened. It was like being right there in the great outdoors!Then there was this one writing prompt that had me cracking up. You had to pretend you were a talking dog and write a letter to your owner, explaining why you kept digging holes in the backyard. Hilarious, am I right? I bet you could come up with some really silly and creative responses.But of course, it's not all fun and games. There were also some pretty tricky grammar exercises where you had to identify parts of speech and fix errors in sentences. I won't lie, those ones made my brain hurt a little. But you know what they say: practice makes perfect!Luckily, I've got all the answers right here to help you get ready. We'll go through the past papers question by question, and I'll explain why each answer is correct. That way, you'll be a total pro by the time the real exam rolls around.And remember, if you ever feel stuck or confused, just give me a holler. I'll be your personal English coach, cheering you on every step of the way!So what do you say, friends? Are you ready to dive into these past English papers and see what they're all about? I guarantee you'll learn a ton and maybe even have some fun along the way. Just don't forget to pack your sense of adventure!Let's go explore the wild world of English exams together. Study hard, believe in yourself, and I know you'll do amazing. After all, you're the awesome students of Anhui! Let's show 'em what you've got.篇2The Big Scary English ExamOh boy, do I have a story for you! You know how some of the older kids talk about taking this huge English exam called the Anhui Exam for upgrading to university? Well, my big cousin Mei just took it and she told me all about it. It sounded really hard and scary!Mei said the first part was listening to recordings and answering questions about what she heard. She had to listenreally carefully to conversations between people and then say who said what or what they were talking about. There were also lectures and she had to take notes on the important details. Mei loves listening to English music and movies so she said that part wasn't too bad for her.Then came the reading part which Mei said was the hardest. There were all these long passages about science, history, culture and other boring grown-up topics. She had to read them quickly and answer detailed questions to show she understood everything. Some of the words were so looooong and complicated! How do adults remember all those crazy vocabulary words? Mei stayed up late for weeks reading practice passages over and over again to get ready.After that was the writing section where Mei had to write a whole essay in English about some topic like environmental protection or modern technology. She had to make sure she used proper grammar, clear organization with an introduction and conclusion, and lots of fancy vocabulary words. No text messaging lingo allowed! Mei'sessays always ended up being so longand she had to write them in such a short time. My hand would've fallen off from all that writing!Finally, there was speaking where Mei had to have a conversation with a test grader and answer questions to prove her English skills. She practiced giving speeches and role-playing situations to prepare. I can't imagine having to speak perfect English to a stranger like that without getting tongue-tied. So nerve-wracking!Mei worked herself to the bone studying for months. She read practice tests, did loads of sample questions, listened to recordings over and over, and wrote practice essays until she was cross-eyed. On the day of the big exam, she was a nervous wreck! But she pushed through and made it to the end.A few weeks later, Mei got her score report in the mail. She ripped it open and...she passed! She was jumping up and down cheering. All that hard work paid off and now Mei can go to her dream university to get a bachelor's degree. Phew, I'm relieved she survived that crazy English exam!I'm just a kid so that test is still a loooong way off for me. But hearing how difficult it was makes me want to really buckle down and work hard on my English from now on. I'll study grammar rules, read books, watch movies, and listen to songs to get ready. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next one celebrating after acingthe big scary Anhui English exam! Anything's possible if you put your mind to it. Fighting!篇3Every Anhui Kid's Guide to the Big College English TestHi there! My name is Xinxin and I'm a 5th grader here in Anhui Province. My big sister just took the huge English test to try to get into a four-year university after going to a junior college. It's called the Anhui Associate's Degree Admission Exam and the English part is really hard! She let me look at some of the old test questions and I'll share what I learned.First up, there's always a listening section where you have to listen really carefully to conversations or lectures and answer multiple choice questions. One time, they played a conversation between two friends deciding what movie to watch. The question asked what genre of movie one of them preferred. You had to listen super closely because they mentioned a bunch of different genres like action, romance, comedy and more!Then there are reading passages you have to read very carefully and answer comprehension questions about. My sister showed me one about the history of the Olympics that was pretty interesting. It talked about how the ancient GreekOlympics started way back in 776 BCE and had events like running, wrestling, boxing and more. The questions asked things like where the Olympics originated, what events were included, and details about the history. You really have to read slowly and pay close attention.Another reading was about environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and endangered species. It used a lot of hard vocabulary words about science and nature that I had to ask my sister to explain. The questions would ask about the main idea, specific details stated in the passage, and what inference or conclusion you could make based on the information given. My sister says those inference questions are always really tricky!But enough about the reading and listening, let me tell you about the writing section! One question asked students to write a short essay giving their opinion on an issue. My sister's prompt was "Some people believe social media is harmful and should be avoided, while others believe it has more benefits than drawbacks. What is your perspective? Explain your view and provide examples to support it." She had to write a whole 5 paragraph persuasive essay arguing one side or the other and using details and examples to convince the reader of her viewpoint. Her essay was arguing that social media has morebenefits than negatives when used responsibly. Wow, that seems hard to me!Another writing task was to read a short passage about recent research on a topic. Then students had to write a summary of the key points and main conclusion in their own words. Being able to summarize academic articles clearly and concisely is a really important skill for university students, so no wonder they test it!But probably the hardest part was the grammar and vocabulary section. My sister showed me practice questions that tested all kinds of crazy grammar rules that I haven't learned yet in elementary school. Things like identifying dangling modifiers, parallel structure, gerund and infinitive phrases...I don't even know what half of that means! The vocabulary questions gave a difficult word from the passage and asked students to determine the meaning based on context clues and choose a close synonym. Some of those words I had never heard of at all!After looking at all those practice tests, I'm kind of nervous to take the big exam when I'm older! It covers such a wide range of reading, writing, listening and language skills at a really high level. My sister says doing lots of timed practice tests and learning test strategies was key to getting a high score. She alsohad to spend months reviewing grammar rules, growing her vocabulary, and practicing how to read difficult academic passages efficiently.Well, I've got about 8 more years until I'll be worrying about the Anhui Associate's Degree Admission Exam. But I'll be sure to start preparing nice and early by reading all the books I can, practicing my writing, and listening to English audio like podcasts and shows. Who knows, maybe I'll even start making up my own tricky grammar questions to quiz my friends! Gotta stay one step ahead of that scary English test. Wish me luck, and let me know if you need any other kid-friendly exam explanations!篇4English Exams for Upgrading to a Bachelor's Degree in Anhui ProvinceHi friends! I'm going to tell you all about the English exams that students in Anhui province have to take if they want to upgrade from a junior college to a bachelor's degree program. It's a pretty big deal because getting a bachelor's degree can help you get a better job later on. My older brother is trying to do this, so I've learned a lot about it.The English exam is just one part of the big test they have to take. There are other subjects too like math, politics, and computer skills. But English is a really important one, especially these days when knowing English can open up so many opportunities. That's why a lot of students study really hard to prepare for the English section.From what I've seen, the English exams always have a few different parts to test your skills. There is usually a listening comprehension section where you have to listen to recordings and answer questions about what you heard. My brother says those can be really tricky because the recordings use all kinds of accents and idioms. You really have to focus!Then there is a reading comprehension part with long passages that you need to read and answer questions about. The passages are on all sorts of topics like science, culture, global issues, and more. The questions ask specific details about the main ideas, the author's purpose, vocabulary in context, and making inferences. My brother underlines key details and take notes in the margins as he reads to help him remember important points.There is also a section to test your English writing skills. You usually have to write one longer essay on a given topic,demonstrating your ability to develop and support ideas with examples and reasoning. Proper grammar, vocabulary, organization and style are all evaluated. For this part, my brother practices outlining his essays and checking them over carefully.The last part is English grammar and vocabulary. This covers all the nitty-gritty rules of English, like verb tenses, parts of speech, sentence structures, and tons of vocabulary words. You have to know prefixes, roots, idioms, the whole nine yards! My brother has thick grammar books that he studies from.It sounds really hard, doesn't it? That's because it is! The students have to prepare super seriously for months. A lot of them take extra tutoring classes or join study groups in addition to their regular classes. They take a bunch of practice tests to get ready too.The exam is offered once per year, usually in late spring. Tens of thousands of students take it across Anhui province. My brother said the exam rooms are always completely silent except for the scratching of pencils. When each section starts, the tension is so high you could hear a pin drop!After the exam, the scores are given out a couple months later. You need a really high combined score from all sections to be eligible to upgrade to a bachelor's degree program. Just theEnglish section alone is weighted heavily. My brother is hoping to get one of the limited spots available. I've got my fingers crossed for him!Those are some of the key English exams that Anhui students have to master in order to move up to a four-year university degree. As you can see, the exams are no joke! They really put your entire English skills to the ultimate test.I remember a few years ago, my brother was studying some past exams to practice. The reading passages were crazy long and complex, filled with advanced vocabulary. And the grammar questions? Forget about it! I couldn't even understand what some of them were asking.One reading was all about the effects of drought on developing nations. Another was about archaeological digs and analyzing ancient artifacts. No joke, the questions were things like: "What can be inferred about the author's perspective on the value of material objects in understanding early human civilizations?" Um, what?!The listening sections weren't any easier. Try listening to a debate between professors about existential philosophy andsimultaneously anwering篇5Anhui Upgrading Tests - Totally Not Boring!Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you all about the Anhui upgrading from junior college to regular college English tests. I know, I know, tests sound super duper boring. But trust me, these ones are kind of fun! Well, as fun as a test can be anyway.Every year, lots of students in Anhui take these big important tests to try and get into a regular 4-year university from their junior colleges. The tests have all the normal subjects like math, Chinese, and whatever. But the English part is what I want to talk about today!The English tests are pretty long, but they have some neat sections. One part has reading passages where you read some stories or articles and then answer comprehension questions. That's kind of like what we do in class, but the passages are a bit harder. There are usually topics about science, history, culture, and other cool things.Then there are sections testing your vocabulary and grammar skills. Vocabulary is just fancy words for learning new English words. The grammar parts have questions on stuff likeverbs, adjectives, using prepositions properly, and all those grammar rules our teachers are always going on about.But my favorite part, and I bet it will be your favorite too, is the writing section! You have to write a short essay of around 100-150 words on a certain topic or prompt. How fun is that? One year the prompt was "If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?" I would totally pick flying so I could soar over the schoolyard during recess.Anyway, enough about what's on the tests. You're probably wondering - what are the actual test questions and answers? Well, I can't spill all the beans and give away all the questions and answers. That wouldn't be fair! But I can give you an example or two to show you what it's like.Here's a sample reading comprehension question from last year's test:"According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about photosynthesis?A) It occurs only in plantsB) It requires carbon dioxide and waterC) It happens during the nightD) It releases oxygen into the air"The answer is B - photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil for plants to make their own food. Told you there would be some sciencey topics!For the grammar section, here's an example question:"Sally ___ to the park every Saturday.A) goB) goesC) goingD) gone"You probably know this one - the right answer is B) goes. Because Sally is just one person, not plural, so we use "goes" and not "go".As for the writing part, you'll just have to use your creativity and writing skills. Maybe the prompt will be "Describe your favorite holiday and why you enjoy it." Then you can write all about how you love Christmas because of the yummy cookies and opening presents!Well, that's a glimpse into what these Anhui upgrading tests are like. They have reading, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and all that good stuff to test your English skills. Just remember to study hard, get a good night's sleep before the test, and don't stress too much! You'll do great.If you work really hard and pass these tests, who knows? Maybe you'll get to go to a fancy university and become a scientist, writer, English teacher or whatever you want to be! The sky's the limit when you learn English well. Just keep practicing and having fun with it. After all, English can take you lots of cool places!Okay, that's all from me today. Let me know if you have any other questions about these tests. But for now, snack time!篇6English Past Papers and Answers for the Anhui College Entrance Exam - A Kid's ViewHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I love learning English and I really want to go to a great university someday. My big sister is currently preparing for the Anhui College Entrance Examination for students who already have anassociate's degree. She's been studying really hard for the English part of the test.I got curious about what kinds of English questions are on the exam, so I asked her to show me some past papers. The questions look pretty hard for a 4th grader like me, but I'll do my best to explain them in simple terms!The reading section seems really tough. There are usually4-5 long passages about different topics like science, history, culture and more. The passages have lots of big vocabulary words that even my sister had to look up in the dictionary. After each passage, there are 10-15 comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas, details, writer's purpose and other tricky things.For example, one passage was about the history of the Silk Road trade routes across Asia and the Middle East. The questions asked things like "According to the passage, what was one major effect of the Silk Road?" and "The author implies that the Silk Road led to ___ between different cultures." I got lost just reading the passage, never mind answering those confusing questions!The listening section doesn't look much easier for a little kid like me. You have to listen to recordings of lectures, conversations, and other materials, then answer comprehensionquestions similar to the reading questions. Just reading the transcript for one lecture about black holes made my head spin. How am I supposed to understand all that advanced physics and astronomy?But my favorite part is the writing section because I love creative writing! For this part, you have to write an essay of a certain length responding to an opinion prompt. One previous prompt asked whether students should be required to learn an international language like English or if it's better to focus only on your native language.I would write all about how learning English opens up the world and lets you make friends from everywhere. You can read awesome books and watch cool movies and TV shows from America and Britain. Plus, you can travel anywhere without getting lost because English is spoken in so many places! But I can see there could be arguments for just sticking to your mother tongue too.The last part is the translation section where you have to translate sentences between Chinese and English in both directions. This is probably the hardest part for me since I'm still learning lots of vocabulary, grammar, and idiomatic expressionsin both languages. Things like slang, metaphors, and cultural references can be super tricky to translate accurately.Well, that's my amateur kid's summary of what the Anhui associate's degree English entrance exam is like. Just explaining it makes me feel exhausted, so I have a ton of respect for my hard-working sister and everyone else preparing for this challenging test. I'll just be over here reading Harry Potter and watching Peppa Pig to slowly build up my English skills. Someday I'll be ready to tackle that crazy difficult exam myself!。

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and DYour should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheetTask 1Though it is merely 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nation’s wealth. This has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”-families that have been wealthy for several generations-an aristocracy of birth and wealth. “There names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand life, drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class is the “ new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled (努力) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to maketheir money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting , and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind-all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.46. All the following statements are true except that _____________.A. the upper class owns at least a quarter of the country’s wealthB. the “old rich” enjoy higher prestige than the “new rich”C. the “old rich” isolate themselves and lead a lonely lifeD. the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origin47. The “old rich” get richer_________________.A. through the Social RegisterB. by investing their inherited wealthC. through their reputationD. by collecting painting and sculptures48. The reason why the “old rich” look down upon the “new rich” is that_____.A. the former are wealthier than the latterB. the latter sweat themselves to make moneyC. the “old rich” are conscious of being members of the upper classD. the “new rich” have no interest in arts49. The upper class is also called the out-of-sight class because________.A. they don’t communicate with any peopleB. they spend most of their time abroadC. they move frequently from the general publicD. they keep away from the general public50. We can learn from the passage that ________________.A. the upper class is powerful and influentialB. the upper class collects rare books to make moneyC. the “old rich” make much more money than the “new rich”D. the upper class holds all top government positionsTask 2We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family ( immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy(宗谱学)can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees(家谱)based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragicevents such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000DNA samples from individuals all over the world. There individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at lest four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome(染色体),”explains Ugo Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.51. People in a large area may possess the same DNA thread because_____________.A. DNA is characteristic of a regionB. they are beyond doubt of common ancestryC. DNA strand has the ability to identify individualsD. their unique identification can be provided via DNA52. The possible research of family trees is based on the fact that______.A. genetics has achieved a breakthroughB. genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed nowC. each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to othersD. We can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family , a group or a population53. The Molecular Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purpose of _______________.A. offering assistance in working out genealogy-related problemsB. solving many issues without relying on traditional written recordsC. providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the worldD. confirming the assumption that all individuals are of the same origin54. If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor,____.A. we can decide according to their family treeB. we can find the truth from their genetic markersC. we can compare the differences in their Y chromosomeD. we can look for written records to prove their relationship55. Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?A. We are a walking, living, breathing record of our ancestors.B. Many American slaves did not know who their ancestors were.C. An adopted child generally lacks enough information to prove his identity.D. Molecular genealogy can be used to prove a relationship between individuals.Task 3Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world revolution. If we enjoy a high standard of modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practicing their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out , cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantage which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal, another for stretching and cutting, another for shaping, and another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labor; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialization could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the 19th century. British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web across the world. British ships are used to carry the cargoes the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass-production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.56. We should be granted to Adam Smith because____________.A. his ideas made it possible for people to improve their livesB. he invented a more efficient way of pin makingC. he started the industrial revolutionD. he brought to people a high standard of living57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The Division of Labor makes work more interestingB. Specialization could solve the problem of unemploymentC. Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of LaborD. Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid58. From the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution________.A. led to Adam Smith’s idea of specializationB. was finished in the 19th centuryC. also has its side-effects in societyD. put an end to poverty in the world59. According to the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results except_______.A. prosperityB. crimeC. unemploymentD. over-crowdedness60. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Theory of Division of Labor and Its SignificanceB. The Industrial Revolution and Its SignificanceC. The Causes of Industrial RevolutionD. Adam Smith, the Economist and PhilosopherTask 4Directions: The following is a business letter. After reading it, you should answer each of the 5 questions(No.61 to No. 65) in more than 3 words. The answer should be written afterthe corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Last December’s earthquake in the Iranian city of Barn took a huge death toll--- roughly 40,000 people--- largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud-brick buildings. If a group of researchers in India are successful, the next earthquake might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material in India: bamboo.They designed a model house built around waterproof of bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure, the engineers, sponsored by the U.K. Department of International Development, took it to the Earthquake Department and Vibration Research Center in Bangalore, which has an advanced earthquake simulator. The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.8 on the Richter scale. The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Barn earthquake, yet the house they designed was undamaged. “We didn’t even crack the paint,” says engineer Paul Follett, of Britan’s Timber Research and Development Association.By some estimates, more than a billion people already live in bamboo structures. The innova tion lies in develop ways to exploit bamboo’s spring. Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo based structure could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 years. At 5 dollars a square foot, they would last about half as much as brick-and-block constructions. Follett says the project will follow an “open source ” model:“Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”61. Why thousands of houses collapsed in the Barn earthquake?Those houses collapsed mainly because they were _________________________.62.
