catti二级英语模拟试题Passage 1Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the information provided.For many people, the word "stress" brings to mind negative feelings and experiences. However, stress is a natural and necessary part of life. It can push us to perform at our best and help us adapt to challenging situations. Stress can also provide a burst of energy and motivation.One of the key factors in how an individual responds to stress is their mindset. Research has shown that those who view stress as a harmful and debilitating force are more likely to experience negative effects on both their physical and mental health. On the other hand, individuals who perceive stress as a normal part of life and believe in their ability to handle it are better equipped to cope with stress and its potential consequences.Stress management techniques can also play a vital role in reducing the negative impact of stress. Engaging in regular exercise and physical activity can help to release endorphins, which are natural stress-fighting chemicals in the body. Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, can also promote a sense of calm and alleviate stress.In addition to individual strategies, social support can be crucial in coping with stress. Talking about one's stressors with a trusted friend or family member can provide emotional relief and fresh perspectives. Seeking professional help, such as seeing a therapist or counselor, can also be aneffective way to navigate through stressful situations and develop healthy coping mechanisms.Overall, stress is an unavoidable part of life, and it is essential to develop strategies to effectively manage it. By adopting a positive mindset, practicing stress management techniques, and seeking social support, individuals can minimize the negative impact of stress and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.Question 1: What is the main idea of the passage?Question 2: What can a positive mindset regarding stress help individuals do?Question 3: According to the passage, what are two stress management techniques?Question 4: How can social support help individuals cope with stress?Passage 2Directions: Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with appropriate words.The TV can be a wonderful source of entertainment and information, but it can also have negative effects on individuals. When watching TV, it is important to be selective (1) __________ what programs to watch and how much time to spend in front of the screen.One of the negative effects of excessive TV watching is a sedentary lifestyle. Sitting for long periods can contribute to weight gain and overallpoor health. It is important to make time for physical activity and limit the time spent watching TV.Another negative effect of excessive TV watching is its impact on mental health. Studies have shown that individuals who spend more time watching TV are at a higher risk for depression and anxiety. This could be due to the sedentary nature of TV watching, as well as the negative content often portrayed on the screen.Family relationships can also be negatively affected by excessive TV watching. Sitting in front of the TV for hours on end can lead to less quality time spent with family members. It is important to find a balance between TV time and engaging in activities that promote healthy relationships, such as talking, playing games, or going for walks together.In conclusion, while TV can be a source of entertainment and information, it is important to be mindful of its potential negative effects. By being selective with what programs to watch, limiting screen time, and prioritizing other activities, individuals can maintain a healthy balance and minimize the negative impact of TV on their overall well-being.Question 1: What is one of the negative effects of excessive TV watching on physical health?Question 2: Why are individuals who spend more time watching TV at a higher risk for depression and anxiety?Question 3: How can excessive TV watching affect family relationships?Question 4: How can individuals minimize the negative impact of TV on their well-being?。

Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our 23 time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For example, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go 24 for our amusement, to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions:There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning，Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner，where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes a wagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up，but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month，and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month，he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day，Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes，when Billy is sick，his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once，Billy's father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now，but he hopes to get more soon. Someday，if he gets more customers，Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe，but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle.31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy ___D___.[A] has to make a living by himself[B] can not get any support from his family[C] has to pay for his school tuition[D] is independent and self-confident32. He did his work ____A__.[A] perfectly well [B] twice a week[C] only for fun [D] to support his family33. To deliver newspapers means ___B___.[A] to post newspapers [B] to send newspapers[C] to sell newspapers [D] None of the above.34. One of the purposes of delivering newspapers is __A____.[A] to get some money for college education[B] to have some tips[C] to have more customers[D] None of the above.35. The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is __D____.[A] a trip to Europe [B] a new bicycle[C] a tip [D] A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and，at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about ___B__.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，"them" refers to ___C__.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice38. "being your own person” in the last sentence most probably means __A___.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on __D___.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? ___D__.[A] Teacher[B] Father[C] Mother[D] Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless，but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories，shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with，"muzak"（音乐广播网）was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently，however，it's become big business - thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman，an American marketing expert，has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isn't always answer. liman found，for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints！41. The reason why background music is so popular is that ___C___.[A] it is harmless everywhere[B] it can boost sales in all places[C] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere[D] it can help to have more meals42. Background music means __D____.[A] light music[B] slow music[C] fast music[D] the music you are listening to while you are doing something43. Restaurant owners complain about background music because ___D___.[A] it results in indigestion [B] it keeps customers moving[C] it increases their sales [D] it decreases their sales44. The word "up-tempo music"(para. 3 the last line but two) probably means __C____.[A] slow music [B] light music[C] fast music [D] classical music45. According to this passage, we learned that ___D___[A] Dr. Milliman made background music.[B] background music spread to the world by Dr. Milliman.[C] Dr. Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat.[D] background music can have a powerful effect on some people.IV.

The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind2 Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic foods they need to get their v itamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in.3 What foods supply what vitamins Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certainfruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1. Our body needs ___A___ for life and health.A) small amounts of each vitamin B) extra vitaminsC) all vitamins except vitamin D D) large amounts of certain vitamins2. C Vitamin A is needed by___C_ and can be found in ______.A) bones, pork B) nervous system, milkC) eyes, green vegetables D) teeth, meats3. A Vitamin B1 is very important to __A____.A) the digestive system B) bones C) liver D) skin4. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need DA) They will do great harm to our body. B) We get all the vitamins needed.C) Our body will function more properly. D) Our body simply gets rid of them.5. The passage has probably been taken from _B_____.A) a sports magazine B) a journal of medical scienceC) an aged magazine D) a youth journalPassage Two1 Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.2 In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, “What is the difference in taste”3The leader said, “The second time the milk tastes terrible.” “That is because of the water added to the milk,” said the king.“The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will s poil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it. “It tastes sweet,” said the king.4The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said, “Oh, ki ng！That is how we would like to live here：as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him the king granted them perm ission to stay.6. The leader of the Jews went to the king because ___C_____ for life and health.A) they wanted to ask directions B) they wanted to drink some milk C) they wanted to live there D) they wanted to go through the kingdom7. Why was the king hesitant AA) Because he was suspicious of the foreigners.B) Because in those days any foreigner was viewed as a bad guy.C) Because he thought the Jews would rob them of their milk.D) Because Jews were not trusty.8. The king asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk added with water just to show that __B______.A) the taste was terrible B) if the Jews joined them, they would destroy the countryC) the taste was different from the pure milk D) the taste was sweet9. The underlined word “dilutes” means _____D___.A) reduce B) weaken C) make less delicious D) make (a liquid) thinner by adding another liquid such as water10. The passage implies that the leader of the Jews was ____B____.A) humorous B) witty C) foolish D) unbelievablePassage Three1 Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning Do you sometimes oversleep Are you often late for work or school Yes Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed will get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:2 The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few minutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be loud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot” is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks yo u in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the bed rises hi gher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are awake and out of bed.3 Hiroyuki made his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He works for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a contest—the “All Honda Idea Contest”.

D) Because he sometimes overslept.15. Who is Hiroyuki BA) A scientist. B) A company worker. C) An inventor. D) A carpenter.Passage 41 Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We tell them that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance will meet with our approval.2 When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie, my youngest third-grader，he was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake3 I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared of making mistake.4 Then one morning we were working math problems at the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.5 Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister of pencils.6“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. She placed the pencils on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn That's because we make mistakes too, lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”7She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one pencil to you so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.8The pencil became Donnie’s prize. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.16. In the author’s opinion, we should consider failures _C_______.A) a shame可耻的 B) mistakes错误的 C) acceptable可接受的 D) accessible方便的17. Donnie is a perfectionist, which means he __A______.A) cannot afford any mistakes B) often makes mistakes C) is always perfect D) seldom makes any mistakes18. Mary Anne was puzzled by Donnie because __D______.A) he bit his nails B) he adored her C) he made mistakes in math problems D) his fear of making mistakes19. Mary changed Donnie after ___A_____.A) giving him a pencil B) kneeling beside him and lifting his face from his armsC) persuading hi m that it’s ok to make mistakes D) erasing his mistakes20. This article tells us that __D______.A) the influence of a teacher is important to a student老师的影响是重要的一个学生B) there are growing pains in a student’s life这是一个学生的生命成长的烦恼C) you should erase your mistakes and try again你应该删除你的错误并再次尝试D) making mistakes is not such a big deal, as long as you try again 犯错并不是什么大不了的，只要你再试试。

Since then; innumerable children32 in front of the set. However; many people now worry about the effectof TV on the young. They wonder there had never been 33 invention. Why are they so afraid Is television really harmfulLike almost anything else; television has its good as well as its bad sides.It has 34 joy and interest into the lives of the old; the sick; and the lonely. Without it; some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world.Unfortunately; some television programs have been extremely harmful tothe young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize thatTV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and wantto 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe thatthe murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time theyare out of high school; most young people have watched about 15;000 hoursof television; and have seen about 18;000 violent 39 . If they see violent deaths every day; how can they be shocked by murder in real life Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. 40its good points; it has brought many problems.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feelreally poor 42 he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 43 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 44 formof transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lotof money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United Statesas they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system ofair-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one; though. The American spiritof independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans don’t liketo wait for a bus; or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to49 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.

Reading ComprehensionSection A:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true T or false F.Passage 1In the old days; divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk; because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships; but they also try to bring tothe surface the ships themselves; or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years; it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania"; which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300;000 or more. The ship; lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1;200;000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship; when he has brought them to the surface; for about $ 600;000. T51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.T52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.F53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania”for more than $ million.F54. The ship “Lusitania”sank off the southwestern coast of Ireland with a lot of people drowned.F55. In the past; divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship exceptmetals.Passage 2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past; work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However; nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise their bodies need. Therefore; they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise.There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example; those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides; people can go swimming in summer and go skating in winter. In short; no matter what their interests are; people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.However; the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if people choose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged; Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who have little spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly; will it benefit people’s health; work and s tudy.T56. Nowadays; more people realize the importance of physical exercise.F57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.T58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football. F59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it.can always find one or more sports that benefit their health; work and study. IV.

In my opinion; it is essential to do the following.First; it is absolutely necessary to take 42 exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat fasterand the lungs work harder. This 43 the heart; reduces the chance of heart attack; and helps 44 blood pressure. That’s why more and more peopleare becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises. Every morning 45 people get up early and take much exercise. Some practice Tai Ji Quanand swordplay 46 others run; jog; walk or dance to music. In the afternoon; there are also many people keen down sports. Some play basketballor volleyball or table tennis; others 47 gymnastics or track events. Through sports and exercises; people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health. They 48 people to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat suchas beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish. Fatcan build up in the arteries; block the flow of blood; and cause a heart attackor stroke.Getting rid of bad habits 49 smoking and drinking alcohol is also an important way to keep healthy. Smoking and drinking alcohol injure one’s health a great deal; and therefore should be given up. Unfortunately few people follow this advice.If people follow these three ways of keeping 50 ; they can greatly improve their health.41-45:DBDCC 46-50: ADABB41. A. of B. at C. for D. to42.

However; TV can bring them right in front of us and with them our life is full of joys.Above all; watching TV is educational.

You are awake and out of bed.Hiroyuki make his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He w orks for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a con test —the “All Honda Idea Contest”.

In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 196 0s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to s tart and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain“k ey”times in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an a greed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, a voidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability t o be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers’point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the worker a greater s ense of duty.11.According to the passage, the _________invented the “flexible working hours”.A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British12. The phrase “catch on”(in Para. 1) most probably means ________ _.A. understandB. become popularC. perceiveD. seize13. What is one of the advantages of “flextime”for workers?A. They can earn more moneyB. They can avoid busy traffic.C. They will do less work.D. They can avoid working hard.14. Which one is NOT an advantage of “flextime”for employers?A. A better balance between working and private life.B. It reduces labor turnover.C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.D. It tends to increase productivity.15. The author _________“flextime”according to the passage.A. supportsB. is againstC. criticizesD. hatesPassage 3Human beings, however, have something that no animal has. Human beings have the ability to express their actions, feelings and ideas through words. They can also write words down in order to communicat e past events and to send messages to people far away.Even though some birds have learned to repeat words, they d o not understand the meaning of the words, and therefore they cannot use them to communicate ideas.How did man first learn to speak? Perhaps we shall never k now. However, we do know that as man’s knowledge increased he needed to use more sounds in order to express a greater number of feelin gs and ideas. It became necessary for him to communicate about a gr eater number of things. He began to make more and more different so unds, and gradually he put these sounds together to form, first, wor ds, then groups of words, and then sentences. In different parts of t he world, people developed their own systems of sounds and words. To day, we call these systems ”languages”.There are now about five thousand different languages and di alects in the world, and each of them contains many thousands of wo rds.16. Why can’t some birds use words to communicate ideas though they have learned to repeat them?A. Because they don’t understand the meaning of the words.B. Because they cannot put them into sentences.C. Because they cannot remember them.D. Because they don’t often use them.17. How did human beings first learn languages?A. Maybe nobody will know.B. Surely we’ll know later.C. Certainly nobody knows.D. Perhaps we have known.18. Why did man need to use more sounds as man’s knowledge increase d?A. In order to form words.B. In order to communicate about more things.C. In order to develop a language.D. In order to sing songs.19. What are languages?A. They are sounds.B. They are w ords.C. They are systems of sounds and words.D. They are letters.20. How many languages are there in the world?A. 15, 000.B. 5,000.C. 500.D. 50,000. Passage 4Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how the y could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, stree ts, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realized fully what Ed ison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too import ant to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would ha ve led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edision’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their l ights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than any one else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.21.

The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.2 As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break into pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.3 Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow at first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insec ts couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.1. The main point of the passage is ____A____.A) how an island formedB) how an volcano broke outC) how plants were brought to the islandD) how plants and animals began to live on an island in the sea2. According to the passage, ____A____ made the island rise up in the sea.A) hot liquid rock from the undersea volcanoB) sand brought by the windC) rock from the nearest islandD) sea waves3. The word “dash” (in Para. 2) means ____D____.A) smash B) destroy C) perform D) rush4. Why couldn’t animals live on the island before plants?（D）A) Because it was too hot on the bare island.B) Because it rained too much.C) Because there was no water.D) Because they couldn’t find food.5. Which order of coming into being on the volcano-produced island is right?（D）A) Hot liquid rock, animals and plants.B) Soil, hot liquid rock and plants.C) Spiders, birds and plants.D) Soil, plants and animals.Passage 21 Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport—the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself. He has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.2 A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense，winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.3 Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.4 So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it's nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.6. The main idea of the passage is _____C___.A) to tell us that football is the most important sport in the worldB) to compare Argentina with EnglandC) to explain the role of sportD) to tell us the fact only children can enjoy themselves in sports games7. The athlete representing his country only thinks about winning because _____D___.A) the games are too competitive B) he wants to make a lot of moneyC) he wants to enjoy himselfD) he fights for the nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation8. The underlined word “summit” in Paragraph 2 means ____A____.A) highest point B) mountain top C) example D) perfection9. Thousands of Scots sold their cars and houses, and went to Argentina, because _____B___.A) they wanted to have a tripB) they wanted to see the finals of the World CupC) they wanted to live thereD) they loved Argentina very much10. Which of the following statements is true?（A）A) The Argentinean football team proved the best one.B) International competition kills the idea of sport.C) Sports fans and supporters are crazy about the World Cup.D) The essence of sport is winning.Passage 31 The pine (松) tree is a special kind of tree. Some people call the pine tree a Christmas tree. This is because many people put pine trees in their homes at Christmas time.2 Pine trees are different from other trees because most other trees lose their leaves in the winter. Pine trees stay green all year long, even in the winter. Pine trees are also called evergreens because they are always green. Pine trees do not have soft leaves like other trees. They have hard, thin leaves. Pine trees also have pine cones. If you walk in a forest, you will see many pine cones on the ground. Inside the pine cones are seeds. When the seeds fall to the ground, a new tree starts to grow.3 Pine trees are useful for many reasons. The wood is used to make many things, such as tables, beds and boats. Many kinds of birds build their homes in pine trees. The seeds of pine trees are food for some small and big animals.4 If you walk in a forest of pine trees, the air has a wonderful smell. In winter, the white snow on the dark green trees looks very beautiful.11. Some people call the pine tree a Christmas tree because ___B___.A) pine trees are green at Christmas timeB) pine trees are put in people’s homes at Christmas timeC) the pine tree is a special kind of treeD) pine trees never lose their leaves in the winter12. According to the second paragraph, the underlined expression “pine cones” means ___C___.A) 松B) 松针C) 松果D) 松树13. Which is NOT the feature that makes pine trees different from other trees?（D）A) Pine trees never lose their leaves in the winter.B) Pines trees are always green.C) Pines trees have hard and thin leaves.D) Pines trees have many seeds.14. Which is NOT the reason why pines trees are useful?（D）A) Pine cones are food for animals.B) The wood is used to make many things.C) Many animals build their homes in pine trees.D) The white snow on the pine trees is very beautiful.15. The purpose of the passage is ___A___.A) to introduce the pine tree B) to praise the pine treeC) to encourage people to plant pine trees D) to tell us a story about a Christmas treePassage 41 (Business between the Middle East and the West has grown tremendously in the last twenty years. Cultural differences sometimes cause problems in carrying out business transactions. This article gives suggestions to Western businessmen and salesmen who do business in the Arab world. It is intended to help them understand polite customs and practices in the Middle East.)2 Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official or executive always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this hospitality.3 The “conference visit” is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequent ly, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.4 “Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.5 Patience is an important quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high-level government officials as they are very busy. Give yourself enough time.6 Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to doing business in Arab countries. Try to identify the decision-maker regarding your product or service immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework. Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal. Be ready to answer technical questions.7 Familiarize yourself with the Moslem (穆斯林) and national holidays. Avoid a visit during Ramadan, the Moslem month of fasting. Most Arab countries have a six-day workweek from Saturday through Thursday. When matched with the Monday to Friday practice in most Western countries, it leaves only three and a half workdays shared. Remember this in planning your appointments. Moslems do not eat pork. Some are strict about the religion’s prohibition against alcoholic beverages. If you are not sure, wait for your host to suggest the proper thing to drink.8 When an Arab says yes, he may mean “maybe”. When he says maybe, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab be cause it is considered impolite. Also, he does not want to close his options. Instead of “no”, he will say “inshallah”, which means, “If God is willing.” On the other hand, “yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.16.

His education was a b rief and most 24 one for a gentleman, and it was all the formal education he was to have, since, unlike some of the other young V irginian gentlemen of his 25 , he did not go on to a college.In terms of intellectual preparation and power, then, Washing ton is in sharp 26 with some other American 27 , such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. In later years, W ashing ton probably regretted his lack of 28 training. He never felt comfortable in formal debate, or in discussions that were not concerned with everyday , practical 29 . And in as much as he never learned to speak French, he refused to visit France b ecause he felt he would be embarrassed 30 speak d irectly to the statesmen of that cou ntry .

Reading Comprehension.Passage 1How can a single postage stamp be worth 16,800？Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to st amp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hu ndred years ag o in the B ritish colony of Mauritius，a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a Lond on printer - Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered，a ball was planned at Mauritius's Government House，and stamps were needed to send ou t the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the desig n for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words 'Post Office' instead of 'P ost Paid'o n the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of the Two-penny Blue's rareness and age，collectors have paid as much as 16,800 for it.31. A postage stamp's value to collectors is raised if __D____.[A] there are few others like it[B] there are no errors on the stamp[C] a mistake is made in the printing[D] both A and C32. Mauritius is the name of ___B___.[A] an island kingdom[B] a British colony[C] a province of India[D] a London printer33. The mistake on the locally printed postage stamps was in the __A____.[A] spelling of postage [B] size [C] price [D] color34. Implied but not stated：__D____[A] All correctly printed stamps are worthless.[B] Mauritians needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball.[C] The printer was pu nished for his mistake.[D] Collectors are constantly looking for stamps with mistakes.35. The best title for this passage is _B_____.[A] The 'P ost Paid' Error[B] T he T wo-penny Blue[C] A London Printer's Error[D] How Mauritius Became FamousPassage 2When the weather is hot，you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot，but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot，the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel the cool air when it moves in. Y ou feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course，scientists cannot answer all of ou r questions. If we ask，"Why is the ocean full of salt?"，scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold，it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. Bu t then we ask，"What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean d oes not get more salty every year." Scientists are not sure abou t the answer to this question.We know a lot abou t our world. Bu t there are still many answers that we do not have，and we are cu rious.36. The main idea of this passage is __C___.[A] people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean[B] scientists can explain everything we want to know[C] scientists can explain many things but not ev erything[D] the salt in the ocean comes from rocks37. You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because __D___.[A] the water is cold[B] the earth is hot[C] the water is colder than the earth[D] cool air from the water mov es towards the land38. Now scientists know __A___.[A] what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer[B] everything abou t the ocean[C] why the ocean does not get more and more salty[D] what happens to the salt in the ocean39. A rock cracks when __D___.[A] rain falls [B] it gets very hot[C] it gets very cold[D] either B or C40. People are always curious because __C___.[A] they know nothing abou t the world[B] they know little abou t the world[C] there are answers they do not hav e[D] either A or BPassage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call commu nicates its importance.If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused b y a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one nig ht to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solu tion, they went to see the plant manager and woke him u p to tell him what had been decided. Unfortu nately, they did not know that it is a very serio us matter to wake u p Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occu rred to him (or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.41. According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? __C___[A] V ery impolite．[B] Not usual．[C] V ery urgent．[D] Not necessary.42. At which of the following hou rs is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? ___A__[A]11：00am．[B] 11：30pm．[C] 5：00am．[D] 12：00pm.43. Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him u p?__B___[A] To have a talk with him．[B] T o inform him of their decision.[C] To discuss a problem with him．[D] To tell him a problem they met with.44. What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives'arrival?__D___[A] He thought the natives were mad.[B] He didn't take it seriously.[C] He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.[D] He believ ed there was a fight and called the police at once.45. What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at mid night? _D____[A] Concern．[B] Fear．[C] Excitement．[D] All of the abov e.IV. Blanking filling.

For each question there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), and D). Choose the ONE answer that best completes each sentence.Passage 11 Vitamins are a group of substances found in food. The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind　2 Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic foods they need to get their vitamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in. 3 What foods supply what vitamins Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certainfruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1. Our body needs ___A___ for life and health.A) small amounts of each vitamin B) extra vitaminsC) all vitamins except vitamin D D) large amounts of certain vitamins2. C Vitamin A is needed by___C_ and can be found in ______.A) bones, pork B) nervous system, milkC) eyes, green vegetables D) teeth, meats3. A Vitamin B1 is very important to __A____.A) the digestive system B) bones C) liver D) skin4. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need　DA) They will do great harm to our body. B) We get all the vitamins needed.C) Our body will function more properly. D) Our body simply gets rid of them.5. The passage has probably been taken from _B_____.A) a sports magazine B) a journal of medical scienceC) an aged magazine D) a youth journalPassage Two1 Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.2 In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, “What is the difference in taste　”3 The leader said, “The second time the milk tastes terrible.” “That is because of the water added to the milk,” said the king. “The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will spoil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it. “It tastes sweet,” said the king.4 The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said, “Oh, king！That is how we would like to live here：as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him the king granted them permission to stay.6. The leader of the Jews went to the king because ___C_____ for life and health.A) they wanted to ask directions　B) they wanted to drink some milk C) they wanted to live there D) they wanted to go through the kingdom7. Why was the king hesitant　AA) Because he was suspicious of the foreigners.B) Because in those days any foreigner was viewed as a bad guy.C) Because he thought the Jews would rob them of their milk.D) Because Jews were not trusty.8. The king asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk added with water just to show that __B______.A) the taste was terrible B) if the Jews joined them, they would destroy the countryC) the taste was different from the pure milk D) the taste was sweet9. The underlined word “dilutes” means _____D___.A) reduce B) weaken C) make less delicious D) make (a liquid) thinner by adding another liquid such as water10. The passage implies that the leader of the Jews was ____B____.A) humorous B) witty C) foolish D) unbelievablePassage Three1 Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning Do you sometimes oversleep Are you often late for work or school Yes Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed will get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:2 The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few minutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be loud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot” is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are awake and out of bed.3 Hiroyuki made his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He works for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a contest—the “All Honda Idea Contest”. In 1996 Hiroyuki won a prize for his bed.11. The purpose of the passage is ____A____.A) to introduce a special bed B) to tell a storyC) to wake somebody up D) to praise Hiroyuki12. What does the special bed do first in the morning　DA) Its tape recorder plays soft music. B) Its tape recorder plays loud music. C) It kicks you in the head. D) Its alarm clock rings.13. If you don’t wake up after the clock rings, what will happen　CA) The mechanical “foot” kicks you in the head. B) The bed becomes vertical and you slide off the bed.C) The tape recorder plays pleasant sounds. D) You will be late for work.14. Why did Hiroyuki make such a special bed　AA) Because he wanted to win the contest held by his company. B) Because he was good at inventing new things.C) Because he wanted to make money. D) Because he sometimes overslept.15. Who is Hiroyuki　BA) A scientist. B) A company worker. C) An inventor. D) A carpenter.Passage 41 Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We tell them that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance will meet with our approval.2 When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie, my youngest third-grader，he was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake3 I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared of making mistake.4 Then one morning we were working math problems at the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.5 Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister of pencils.6 “Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. She placed the pencils on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie　” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn That's because we make mistakes too, lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”7 She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one pencil to you so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.8 The pencil became Donnie’s prize. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.16. In the author’s opinion, we should consider failures _C_______.A) a shame　可耻的 B) mistakes错误的 C) acceptable　可接受的 D) accessible方便的17. Donnie is a perfectionist, which means he __A______.A) cannot afford any mistakes B) often makes mistakes C) is always perfect D) seldom makes any mistakes18. Mary Anne was puzzled by Donnie because __D______.A) he bit his nails B) he adored her C) he made mistakes in math problems D) his fear of making mistakes19. Mary changed Donnie after ___A_____.A) giving him a pencil B) kneeling beside him and lifting his face from his armsC) persuading him that it’s ok to make mistakesD) erasing his mistakes20. This article tells us that __D______.A) the influence of a teacher is important to a student老师的影响是重要的一个学生B) there are growing pains in a student’s life这是一个学生的生命成长的烦恼C) you should erase your mistakes and try again你应该删除你的错误并再次尝试D) making mistakes is not such a big deal, as long as you try again 犯错并不是什么大不了的，只要你再试试。

For each questions there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Solar energy (power from the sun) has many uses. In many parts of the world, people are building solar houses with large numbers of windows to collect the heat of the sun. Solar collectors can make hot water from sunlight. The rays of the sun heat water in a solar collector, and the hot water goes into a storage tank. People can use the hot water for washing or for heating their houses. In the future, people may use the rays of the sun to make electricity for their homes. They will use photovoltaic cells to make electricity from sunlight.The sun is an important “new source of energy”. It is less expensive than oil or nuclear energy. Furthermore, it does not cause pollution, and it is not as dangerous as nuclear power. Many people think that solar energy will be the answer to our future energy problems.11.What is the source of solar energy?A. the earthB. oilC. the sunD. the nuclear12.What can a solar collector do?A. It can answer our future energy problems.B. It can make electricity from sunlight.C. It can use hot water for washing.D.

But many large well-known companies hire new people frequently without putting advertisements in newspapers, because they already have many resumes on file. Therefore, it is not always best to apply only to companies that place ads in newspapers. A person looking for a job is advised to send his resume with a cover letter to a well-known company even if a position is not then open, he can follow up with a telephone call to inquire if his resume has been received and if any jobs are available. If the company has not a job at that time, he can ask that they keep his material on file and contact him in the future when something is available.Sometimes if a company is not hiring at the time, a letter explaining that a position is not currently available will be sent. If a person sends a letter and resume to a company that is not then hiring and later sees an advertisement in the newspaper for a job with that company, he should call the company to make certain they have his material on file and will consider him for the position. So, a person has nothing to lose and everything to gain by sending in his resume.16.What kind of companies are the best choices for a person to write to find a job?A. Companies that place ads in newspapers.B. Small trading companies.C. Larger, well-known companies.D. The companies which are looking for new personnel now.17.Which of the following is not true?A. A person looking for a job should only apply to companies that advertise innewspapers.B.Many larger, well-known companies hire new people frequently.C. A person looking for a job is advised to send his resume with a cover letterto a well-known company even if a position is not then open.D.When companies decide to hire new people they usually place an ad in thenewspaper to attract as many people as possible.18.When people are looking for jobs, what should they send to companies,according to the passage?A. A resume and recent photos.B. A cover letter and an application.C. A resume and a cover letter.D. Only a phone call.19.If you send your resume to a company that isn’t hiring at the time, what mightthe company do?A. The company might call you and tell you that they have no positions now.B. The company might hire you anyway.C. The company will not write back because they are not interested in you.D. The company might write back and tell you that there are no positionsavailable at the time.20.According to the author, __________.A. it is a bad idea to send in one’s resume if one is not certain there is a jobavailableB. it is always a good idea to send in one’s resume whether or not one iscertain there is a job available.C. it is not necessary to send in one’s resume if one knows that there is not ajob available.D. it is always necessary to make an inquiry phone call first before one sendsin his resume.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (40 points)Section ADirections:In this section there are 10 incomplete sentences.

Besides its persuasive powers, eye contact helps hold listener interest. A successful speaker must maintain eye contact with an audience. To have good rapport (关系) with listener, a speaker should maintain direct eye contact for at least 75 percent of the time. Some speakers focus exclusively (唯一的) on their notes. Others gaze over the heads of their listeners. Both are likely to lose audience interest and esteem. People who maintain eye contact while speaking, whether from a podium (演讲台) or from across the table, are ―regarded not only as exceptionally well-disposed by their target but also as more believable and earnest.‖To show the potency (力量，效应) of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passers-by behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel awkward and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone.Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor the listeners. It is, in fact, essential for analyzing an audience during a speech. Visual cues (暗示) from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on (to think, speak, or write a lot about) a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation. Aswe have pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered.1. This passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. the importance of eye contactB. the potency of nonverbal techniquesC. successful speech deliveryD. an effective way to gain visual feedback2. According to the passage, a good speaker must ______.A. ―sell‖ his or her ideas to an audienceB. maintain direct eye contact with listenersC. be very persuasive and believableD. be exceptionally well-disposed3. The word ―target‖ in the last sentence of the first paragraph can best be replaced by ______.A. ―destination‖B. ―goal‖C. ―audience‖D. ―followers‖4. In daily life, when the glances of two passers-by happen to meet, these two persons will inevitably (不可避免地) ______.A. smile to each otherB. feel awkward and look away immediatelyC. try to make a conversation with each otherD. none of the above5. Eye contact with an audience, according to the author, has all the following benefits for the speaker except that it doesn’t ______.A. help the speaker to control the audienceB. help the speaker to gain audience interest and esteemC. help the speaker to know whether he is talking too much about a certain pointD. help the speaker to analyze his audience when he is beginning his speechPassage 2There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among ―situation vacant‖, and sometime s it appears among ―situation wanted‖. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.―Contact us before writing your application‖, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is, also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (简历).There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. ―Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams‖, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. It was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. ―Your search is over, I am the person you are looking for,‖ wasa widely used trick that occasionally succeeded.There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.1. The purpose of this new type of advertisement is ______.A. to offer advice to job-huntersB. to provide jobs for unemployed peopleC. to tell people where they can get well-paid jobsD. to inform employers of how important curriculum vitae are2. The success of this specialized service makes people think badly of ______.A. newspaper advertisementsB. current high levels of unemploymentC. job-seekers competing for jobsD. employers who are indifferent to job-hunters3. What did a job-hunter do in the past?A. He just wrote a letter of application informing the employer of his education.B. He telephoned the employers informing that he would like to take the job.C. He first filled out a job application and then had an interview with the employer.D. He first wrote an application letter and then had an interview with the employer.4. It can be inferred from the selection that in the past ______.A. jobs were hard to getB. jobs were easy to obtainC. a lot of people were unemployedD. few people wanted to take part-time jobs5. The curriculum vitae becomes important for a person when he hunts a job because ______.A. jobs are not so easy to obtain as they were in the pastB. there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedC. there has been an increase in the number of applicants with university educationsD. other ways of applying for jobs are more complicatedPassage 3A famous scientist and inventor, Hero of Alexandria, who lived in ancient times, stated that there are five simple machines: the lever, the wedge (楔), the screw, the wheel, and the pulley (滑轮).These several devices can be called simple machines. They are built of two or more parts for the purpose of performing a task. But today we consider these devices not as separate machines but as important parts of more complex machines.In the days of ancient Greece there was little reason to invent machines to do man’s work because there was no great need for them. Slave labor had bee n plentiful since man’s early history. We have no actual records to tell us how slavery came into existence. Perhaps the first slaves were prisoners of war, who were put to work to help with the crops and other tasks. In the late 18th century, however, the ideas of human dignity (尊严) and liberty were developed and accepted. That was the beginning of the end of slavery.The awakening spirit of personal freedom and of exploration, along with the perfecting of thesteam engine in 1765, prepared Europe for new things. At the same time there came the desire to develop a whole new continent, North America. Here engineers met new conditions of climate and great size.Engineers work mostly with metals, particularly steel. Their work is the building of machines, plants, buildings, bridges, and ships. For this work, the engineer has developed various tools used by mechanics —people who are skilled in using tools or in making, operating, and repairing power–driven machines. These tools form a large and varied family, called machine tools. They are listed either as metal-cutting machines or metal- forming machines.1. The five simple machines mentioned in the first paragraph are regarded as ______.A. parts of more complicated machines in GreeceB. a part of a more complex machine in AmericaC. parts of more complicated machines nowadaysD. a part of a separate device2. The passage tells us that the great number of slaves in ancient Greece ______.A. made machines unnecessaryB. stimulated the development of machinesC. made the invention of machines unreasonableD. made it impossible to invent machines3. What led to the end of slavery in 18th century?A. The invention of more machines.B. The idea of human rights.C. The mercy of the ruling class.D. The man’s reduced work.4. The ―new things‖ in the fourth paragraph most probably stands for ______.A. new explorationsB. new desiresC. new machinesD. new conditions5. According to the passage, the formation of the machine tools family is based on ______.A. farm workB. salves’ workC. man’s workD. engineers’ work三、词汇与结构1. It is not considered _______ to litter in public.A. respectiveB. respectingC. respectfulD. respectable2. My camera can be _______ to take pictures in cloudy or sunny conditions.A. adjustedB. accustomedC. adoptedD. allowed3. The writer’s choice of words in his writing is merely a matter of _______ style.A. personnelB. personalC. privateD. primary4.

福师大学英语2复习题大学英语2期末考试复习资料模拟题1.docx

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：（1 ）The frightening rise in crimes of violence throughout the country has caused more and more people to arm themselves. They buy guns to protect their homes and to carry with them for personal safety when traveling. Unfortunately, instead of safety, what the new handgun owner too often gets is personal tragedy（悲居lj）. As I found out in my reading, a handgun does not protect the American home very well. The home handgun is far more likely to kill or injure family members and friends than anyone who breaks in, and is especially harmful to young adults and to children.Because 90 percent of break-and-enters take place when no one is home, the handgun bought for defense is very often stolen. According to some statistics, each year about 100,000 handguns are stolen from ordinary citizens. These guns then enter the criminal underworld（黑社会）and are used in more crimes. Thus, the citizens who lost guns is helping to arm the criminal class.As a New York City police officer recently pointed out to homeowner who asked if he should buy a handgun to protect his home, too often it is the homeowner himself who ends up getting shot and killed, because he most often warns the robber by saying something like "Stop!" or "What do you think you're doing?,, Possibly, the thief turns and fires.In street crime, the use of a handgun for defense is very risky, with the defender often losing the gun and having it used against him. The handgun owner seldom even gets the chance to use his or her gun because the moment of surprise is always with the attacker. In fact, trying to use a handgun to keep someone off makes the risk of death quite a bit higher.For the ordinary citizen, using a handgun is seldom helpful for defense on the street. And, in the home, the only way to get real defense from a personal handgun would be to have it always at the ready, perhaps in hand loaded and ready to fire every time there is a knock on the door. That is not exactly the American way or my idea of a civilized（文明的）society.1.Why do people arm themselves according to the passage?a.Because they want to use guns to protect their personal goods.b.Because killing animals is their favorite sport.c.Because the number of crimes of violence is still small.d.Because people intend to attack others.2.More often than not, what the handgun brings its owner is.a.safetyb. tragedyc. luckd. happiness3.It can be understood from the passage that.a.self-defense is of no useb.home handguns do more harm than good to ordinary peoplec.stolen handguns are usually thrown awayd.handguns are no longer needed4.If a citizen uses a handgun to protect himself in street crime, he will probably.a.be safe and soundb.kill the attackerc.risk his lifed.hurt other people instead5.The passage is mainly about.a.how criminals get guns from ordinary citizensb.why the handgun is not essential for home defensec.when street crime is most likely to happend.how handguns protect people's lives(2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations.

英语二自测题一作文英文回答：The initial prompt was to discuss the topic of whether it is more important to focus on the present or the future. While both perspectives have their own merits, I believe that it is crucial to strike a balance between the two. By embracing the present moment, we can create a foundationfor a better future.Focusing solely on the future can lead to a sense of anxiety and overwhelm, as we may become preoccupied with the uncertainties that lie ahead. Instead, by living in the present, we can take small, manageable steps towards our long-term goals. Each moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make progress.Furthermore, by embracing the present moment, we can appreciate the beauty and wonder that life has to offer. We can connect with our loved ones, engage in meaningfulexperiences, and find joy in the simple things. These moments create lasting memories and contribute to our overall happiness and well-being.While it is important to have aspirations for the future, dwelling on it excessively can rob us of the present. By finding fulfillment in the present moment, we can build a strong foundation for a brighter future. The two are not mutually exclusive, but rather interdependent. By living in balance, we can make the most of both the present and the future.中文回答：最初的提示是讨论关注现在还是关注未来的问题。

Three months ago I decided to move my store to Glendale, another area of town, because business was not very good. Now I rent a store in an old building. The new location in Glendale is excellent, and my sales have improved a lot. (The utilities are also cheaper!) There is a high school nearby, and many of the students come to my store to buy their clothes. This location has other advantages, too. It is closer to my home, and there is a food store on the next block, so it is convenient for me to go shopping after work.The size of my new store is better too. It is much bigger, and there is a lot of storage space. But the building was not in very good condition, and I had to make many improvements. The paint was old and dirty, and I had to pick a new color and paint all of the walls. I hired a man to build new wooden dressing rooms. I also made new curtains for the rooms and the window. I amcompletely satisfied with the store now. Unfortunately, I learned last week that the owner wants to sell the building – after all my hard work! How did I learn this?

Since they could not enjoy their sports outside as usual, they were unhappy, and some of them often got into fights from time to time.Finally, one of the teachers at the college, J. E. Naismith, was asked to invent a new game for the students. It was not an easy job because such a game had to be played indoors, and the court was not very large.Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. To make score, the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet high above the floor on the wall. At each of the court there was such a basket. At first, Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit basket instead. That is how the game got its name.36.

Even our friends don’t know sometimes. Once, just for fun, I let Nicky go out with my boyfriend. He did not notice anything was different, until they got to the disco. I’m a much better dancer than Nicky!‖―But there is something I really hate. People think we’re two halves of the same person. But we’re not! We are two persons. That’s why I always wait to see what Nicky’s wearing. Then I put on something else, something quite different.‖―Oh, and I also hate it when people stare at us, when we’re together—as if we were something out of a circus (马戏团).―We look alike, but we’re more like opposite than twins,‖ said Helen. ― I can’t think of anybody who is more different from me!‖ We’ve got different friends, we like different music and different school subjects. In fact, I can’t think of anything which we both like, except for noodles! Somebody may ask me ― If I hit you, will your sister feel it?‖ I can’t think of anything more stupid!―But perhaps, deep down, we are alike.
