passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B,C and D.Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.TEXT A1In the past thirty years many social changes have taken place in Britain.The greatest of these have probably been in the economic lives of women.2The changes have been significant, but, because tradition and prejudice can still handicap women in their working careers and personal lives, major legislation to help promote equality of opportunity and pay was passed during the 1970s.3At the heart of women's changed role in society has been the rise in the number of women at work, particularly married women.As technology and society permit highly effective and generally acceptable methods of family planning there has been a decline in family size.Women as a result are involved in child-rearing for a much shorter time and related to this, there has been a rapid increase in the number of women with young children who return to work when the children are old enough not to need constant care and attention.4Since 1951 the proportion of married women who work has grown from just over a fifth to a pared with their counterparts elsewhere on the Continent, British women comprise a relatively high proportion of the work-force, about two-fifths, but on average they work fewer hours, about 31 a week.There is still a significant difference between women's average earnings and men's, but the equal pay legislation which came into force at the end of 1975appears to have helped to narrow the gap between women's and men's basic rates.5As more and more women joined the work-force in the 1960s and early 1970s there was an increase in the collective incomes of women as a whole and a major change in the economic role of large numbers of housewives.Families have come to rely on married women's earnings as an essential part of their income, rather than as “pocket money”.At the same time social roals within the family are more likely to be shared, exchanged or altered.66.The general idea of the passage is aboutA.social trends in contemporary Britain.B.changes in women's economic status.C.equal opportunity and pay in Britain.D.women's roles within the family.67.According to the author, an increasing number of married women are able to work becauseA.their children no longer require their care.B.there are more jobs available nowadays.C.technology has enabled them to find acceptable jobs.D.they spend far less time on child care than before.TEXT BNature' s Gigantic Snowplough1On January 10, 1962, an enormous piece of glacier broke away and tumbled down the side of a mountain in Peru.A mere seven minutes later, when cascading ice finally came to a stop ten miles down the mountain, it had taken the lives of 4,000 people.2it is extremely cold at very high altitudes, snow rarely melts.It just keeps piling up higher and higher.Glaciers are eventually created when the weight of the snow is so great that the lower layers are pressed into solid ice.But most avalanches occur long before this happens.As snow accumulates on a steep slope, it reaches a critical point at which the slightest vibration will send it sliding into the valley below.3Even an avalanche oflight power can be dangerous, but the Peruvian catastrophe was particularly terrible because it was caused by a heavy layer of ice.It is estimated that the ice that broke off weighed three million tons.As it crashed down the steep mountainside like a gigantic snowplough, it swept up trees, boulders and tons of topsoil, and completely crushed and destroyed the six villages that lay in its path.4At present there is no way to predict or avoid such enormous avalanches, but, luckily, they are very rare.Scientists are constantly studying the smaller, more common avalanches, to try to understand what causes them.In the future, perhaps dangerous masses of snow and ice can be found and removed before they take human lives.68.The first paragraph catches the reader's attention with aA.first-hand report.B.dramatic description.C.tall tale.D.vivid word picture.A.violently ruinous.B.spectacularly interesting.C.stunning.D.unpleasant.70.The passage is mostly aboutA.avalanches.B.glaciers.C.Peru.D.mountains.CI was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland.I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it.By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant.I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday.They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or falltime.A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood.The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege.I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it.Heconsidered all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent.The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age.I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old.2My mother was named Harriet Bailey.She was the daughter of Issac and Betsey Bailey, both coloured, and quite dark.My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.3My father was a white man.He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage.The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father;but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing;the means of knowing was withheld from me.My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant — before I knew her as my mother.It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age.Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labour.For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child's affection towards its mother.71.The author did not know exactly when he was born becauseA.he did not know who his mother was.B.there was no written evidence of it.C.his master did not tell his father.D.nobody on his farm knew anything about it.72.In the mid-nineteenth century, slaves oftenA.marked their birthdays by the season.B.did not really care how old they were.C.forgot the exact time when they were born.D.pretended not to know each other's birthdays.73.The author's mother told himA.his father was black.B.his father was white.C.nothing about his father.D.his master was his father.74.According to the passage, when the author was very young his motherA.ran away.B.was light-skinned.C.had several children.D.was sent to work elsewhere.75.The author had not spent much time with hisA.mother.B.master.C.grandfather.D.grandmother.76.The author was most probably raisedA.by his grandparents.B.by an old woman slave.C.with his master's support.D.together with other children.TEXTEXT D Please Recycle That Bobsled Run(大学橇滑道)1For the 1992 Winter Games, French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps.Environmentalists screamed “Disaster!'.Th us warned, the Norwegians have adopted ”green“ advice and avoided great blots on the landscape.The speed-skating rink was built to look like an overturned ship, and placed so as not to disturb a bird sanctuary.Dug into a mountainside, the hockey arena is well concealed and energy efficient.The bobsled run is built out of wood not metal and hidden among trees.No wonder the president of the International Olympic Committee has called these the first ”Green Games“.2Lillehammer's opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic Torch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation.During construction, builders were threatened with ＄7,500 fines for felling trees unnecessarily.Rare trees were carefully transplanted from hillsides.Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed, in turn, to pigs.Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in, with enforcement by polite requests.3Environmentalists have declared partial victory, though Coca-Cola's plan todecorate the town with banners has been scaled back, there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes.Perhaps, but after the Games, athlete housing will be converted into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories.Bullets will be plucked from biathlon targets and recycled to keep the lead from poisoning ground water.And these tricks won't be forgotten.Embarrassed by environmental protests, the I.O.C.claims that green awareness is now entrenched — along with sport and culture —as a permanent dimension of the Olympic Charter.4Indeed, Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in part on the strength of its endorsement from Greenpeace.Aspiring host cities are picking up the code.Salt Lake City, bidding for the 2002 Games, may opt to use the bobsled run that Calgary built for the '88 Games.after that, who could deny that recycling is an Olympic movement?77.Which of the following countries has not paid enough attention to the ”green" issues?A.Norway.B.France.C.America.D.Australia.78.In which area did the environmentalists fail in Lillehammer?A.Energy.B.Smoking.C.Housing.D.Advertising.79.Which of the following describes the I.O.C.'s attitude towards the environmentalists' protests?A.Trying to commit themselves.B.Showing indifference and contempt.C.Arguing for practical difficulties.D.Negotiating for gradual changes.80.The 2002 Games might be held inA.Oslo.B.Calgary.C.Sydney.D.Salt Lake City.第二篇：专业英语四级作文真题参考2011年专业英语四级作文真题参考范文2011专四便条写作真题网友参考范文April 20, 2008Dear my friend,The summer vacation is coming next month.I hope you will visit our home town and stay with us.It's very beautiful

are facing some problems.One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars.In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax”

But it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces”that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safely of the nuclear reactor.21. Where the Skylab will fall?A) is kept secretB) has been made publicC) has been predicted by scientistsD) can’t be predicted even by computers22. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us todo?A) Not to believe in officials.B) To think about our future.C) Has been predicted by scientists.D) To fear for our lives.23. The author suggests that ________.A) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB) it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD) computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab24. The author refers to Three Mils Island ________.A) because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB) because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC) because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD) because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the samecompany25. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A) interest in the failure of the SkylabB) willingness to give his adviceC) eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD) concern that science cannot answer all questionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably ________.A) a news itemB) part of an introduction to a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement27. What is the most important to agriculture is ________.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capita income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A) the provision of food and raw materialsB) the productivity of farmersC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is ge nerally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.31. Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A) Tests are not effective in measuring t he students’ abilities.B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.32. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph ________.A) opposed judging students by the results of examsB) must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC) regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD) seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students33. According to the letter, a student’s final mark ________.A) is often encouragingB) often gives a fair picture of the year’s workC) often proves unreliableD) often tells whether he likes the subject or not34. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would________.A) have to continue his studiesC) be incompetentB) have a feeling of failureD) not be admitted by foreign institutions35. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probablyafraid of ________.A) competing with other studentsC) working too hardB) being graded unfairlyD) being dismissed from schoolPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen to ok a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding (令人生畏的) structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen w hose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the 1930’s banks started to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement beg an in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have be en remarkable.The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a new push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of perso nal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.36. The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years a go waschiefly due to ________.A) the attitude of bankersB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the outer appearance of bank buildings37. The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) rich customersC) friendly businessmenB) regular visitorsD) elderly gentlemen38. When did banks begin to grow human?A) In the last century.C) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.D) During the war.39. What helped the “humanization” of banks?A) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by younger men.B) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the custo mer’s account was greatly increased.40. Ordinary people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Suppose we built a robot (机器⼈) to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary (进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny (否认) that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value.

Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it's a girl."Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy (怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine (⽣活规律) and highly innovative (创新的) adaptation, on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.26. According to the author, being a father _____.(A) brings a feeling of excitement to some men(B) has a different meaning for those who have daughters(C) makes some men feel proud and others uneasy(D) means nothing but more responsibilities27. It is stated in the passage that _____.(A) some parents are not prepared to have a child(B) young couples do not like children at all(C) working couples do not have much time to take care of their children(D) many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child28. In the second paragraph, the author ______.(A) criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children(B) excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father(C) supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family(D) complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father29. The transition to the mother's role requires that the wife ______.(A) change her life style in a highly innovative way(B) make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation(C) stay at home to take care of the baby(D) help her husband in his resocialization process30. Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, _____.(A) have to shoulder more burdens (C) have an easier job to do(B) have to make more difficult adaptations (D) can usually do a better jobPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this "conversation" goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a "process" conversation as opposed to a "content" conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略) we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a content conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _____.(A) the reader's expectations agree with what is said in the text(B) the reader has trouble understanding what the author says(C) the reader asks questions and gets answers(D) the reader understands a text very well32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _____.(A) read a text slowly (C) interpret a text in their own way(B) read without thinking hard (D) concentrate on the meaning of words only33. A "process" conversation has to do with ______.(A) the application of reading strategies(B) matching our expectations with the meaning of a text(C) the development of our ability to check the details(D) determining the main idea of a text34. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between ______.(A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension(B) the reader's expectations and the meaning of a text(C) lower and higher levels of comprehension(D) interpreting and criticizing a text35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ______.(A) learn to use different approaches in reading different texts(B) make our reading process more conscious(C) pay more attention to the content of a text(D) take a critical attitude towards the author's ideaPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn't generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it's still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very wellunderstood by adults themselves.

Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.In the past thirty years many social changes have taken place in Britain. The greatest of these have probably been in the economic lives of women.The changes have been significant, but, because tradition and prejudice can still handicap women in their working careers and personal lives, major legislation to help promote equality of opportunity and pay was passed during the 1970s.At the heart of women’s changed role in society has been the rise in the number of women at work, particularly married women. As technology and society permit highly effective and generally acceptable methods of family planning there has been a decline in family size. Women as a result are involved in child-rearing for a much shorter time and related to this, there has been a rapid increase in the number of women with young children who return to work when the children are old enough not to need constant care and attention.Since 1951 the proportion of married women who work has grown from just over a fifth to a half. Compared with their counterparts elsewhereon the Continent, British women comprise a relatively high proportion of the work-force, about two-fifths, but on average they work fewer hours, about 31 a week. There is still a significant difference between women’s average earnings and men’ s, but the equal pay legislation which came into force at the end of 1975 appears to have helped to narrow the gap between women’s and men’s basic rates.As more and more women joined the work force in the 1960s and early 1970s there was an increase in the collective incomes of women as a whole and a major change in the economic role of large numbers of housewives. Families have come to rely on married women’s earnings as an essential part of their income rather than as “pocket money”. At the same time social roles within the family are more likely to be shared, exchanged or altered.第26题：The general idea of the passage is about _________.A.social trends in contemporary BritainB.changes in women’s economic statusC.equal opportunity and pay in BritainD.women’s roles within the family第27题：According to the author, an increasing number of married women are able to work because ______.A.their children no longer require their careB.there are more jobs available nowadaysC.technology has enabled them to find acceptable jobsD.they spend far less time on child care than beforeNature’s Gigantic SnowploughOn January 10,1962, an enormous piece of glacier broke away and tumbled down the side of a mountain in Peru. A mere seven minutes later, when cascading ice finally came to a stop ten miles down the mountain, it had taken the lives of 4000 people.This disaster is one of the most (devastating) examples of a very common event: an avalanche of snow or ice. Because it is extremely cold at very high altitudes, snow rarely melts. It just keeps piling up higher and higher. Glaciers are eventually created when the weight of the snow is so great that the lower layers are pressed into solid ice. But most avalanches occur long before this happens. As snow accumulates on a steep slope, it reaches a critical point at which the slightest vibration will send it sliding into the valley below.Even an avalanche of light power can be dangerous, but the Peruvian catastrophe was particularly terrible because it was caused by a heavy layer of ice. It is estimated that the ice that broke off weighed threemillion tons. As it crashed down the steep mountainside like a gigantic snowplough, it swept up trees, boulders and tons of topsoil, and completely crushed and destroyed the six villages that lay in its path.At present there is no way to predict or avoid such enormous avalanches, but, luckily, they are very rare. Scientists are constantly studying the smaller, more common avalanches, to try to understand what causes them. In the future, perhaps dangerous masses of snow and ice can be found and removed before they take human lives.第28题：The first paragraph catches the reader’s attention with a _____.A.firsthand reportB.dramatic descriptionC.tall taleD.vivid word picture第29题：In this passage devastating means _____.A.violently ruinousB.spectacularly interestingC.stunningD.unpleasant第30题：The passage is mostly about _______.A.avalanchesB.glaciersC.PeruD.mountainsI was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or fall-time. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. He considered all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during1835, I was about seventeen years old.My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Issac and Betsey Bailey, both coloured, and quite dark. My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.My father was a white man. He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I run away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labour. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child’s affection towards its mother.第31题：The author did not know exactly when he was born because _______.A.he did not know who his mother wasB.there was no written evidence of itC.his master did not tell his fatherD.nobody on his farm knew anything about it第32题：In the mid-nineteenth century, slaves often ______.A.marked their birthdays by the seasonB.did not really care how old they wereC.forgot the exact time when they were bornD.pretended not to know each other’s birthdays第33题：The author’s mother told him ______.A.his father was blackB.his father was whiteC.nothing about his fatherD.his master was his father第34题：According to the passage, when the author was very young his mother _______.A.run awayB.was light-skinnedC.had several childrenD.was sent to work elsewhere第35题：The author had not spent much time with his ______.A.motherB.masterC.grandfatherD.grandmother第36题：The author was most probably raised ______.A.by his grandparentsB.by an old woman slaveC.with his master's supportD.together with other childrenPlease Recycle That Bobsled Run(大雪橇滑道)For the 1992 Winter Games, French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps. Environmentalists screamed “Disaster!” Thus warned, the Norwegians have adopted “green”advice and avoided great blots on the landscape. The speed-skating rink was built to look like an overturned ship, and placed so as not to disturb a bird sanctuary. Dug into a mountainside, the hockey arena is well concealed and energy efficient. The bobsled run is built out of wood not metal and hidden among trees. No wonder the president of the International Olympic Committee has called these the first “Green Games.”Lillehammer’s opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic Torch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation. During construction, builders were threatened with $ 7500 fines for felling trees unnecessarily. Rare trees were carefully transplanted from hillsides. Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed, in the end, to pigs. Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in, with enforcement by polite requests.Environmentalists have declared partial victory: though Coca-Cola’s plan to decorate the town with banners has been scaled back, there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes. Perhaps, but after the Games, athlete housing will be converted into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories. Bullets will be plucked from biathlon targets and recycled to keep the lead from poisoning ground water. And these tricks won’t be forgotten. Embarrassed by environmental protests, the IOC claims that green awareness is now entrenched—along with sport and culture—as a permanent dimension of the Olympic Charter.Indeed, Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in pan on the strength of its endorsement from Greenpeace. Aspiringhost cities are picking up the code. Salt Lake City, bidding for the 2002 Games, may opt to use the bobsled run that Calgary built for the ’88 Games.

Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.TEXT AA Wise ManHe was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and most just and wisest man. ”Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.Socrates’ method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.81. In the first paragraph, the word yet is used to introduce ___.A. contrastB. a sequenceC. emphasisD. an example82. Socrates was condemned to death because he ___.A. believed in lawB. was a philosopherC. published outspoken philosophical articlesD. advocated original opinions83. The word unsurpassed in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ___.A. untoldB. unequalledC. unnoticedD. unexpected84. By mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer implies that ___.A. it was surprising that Socrates was so famousB. Socrates was not so learned as he is reputed to have beenC. Socrates used the work of his students in teachingD. the authorities refused to publish Socrates’ works85. Socrates accepted the death penalty to show ___.A. his belief in his studentsB. his contempt for conservativesC. his recognition of the legal systemD. that he was not afraid of deathTEXT BIn England, along a stretch of the north-east coast which gently curves from Northumberland to the estuary of the river Tees, there was a spot, typical of many on that coast, where sea-coal collected richly and effortlessly. This coal was a coarse powder, clean and brilliant. It seemed to bear little resemblance to the large, filthy lumps put onto the fire. Although it was coal, it was perfectly clean and it was silently deposited at high tide in a glittering carpet a kilometre long for the local community to gather up.The gear needed for sea-coaling expeditions was a curious and traditionally proven assortment which never varied from community to community along the entire north-east coastline. Sacks were essential to put the coal in, and string to tie the neck of each sack when it was full. A wooden rake was used to serape the coal from the beach. The only alternative to the rake was a flat piece of board held in the hand. A flat, broad shovel to lift the raked coal into the bags, completed the portable hardware.But the most crucial item of equipment was a bicycle, a special kind of rusty, stripped down model which was the symbol of the sea-coaling craft. A lady’s bike was no good because it lacked a crossbar, and that was an essential element in transporting sea-coal. One full sack could be slung through the triangular frame of a man’s bike, another over the crossbar and, sometimes, even a third on top of that. It not only enabled one to move the sea coal from place to place, but the pressure of the metal bar against the full, wet sacks forced excess water out of the coal while it was being wheeled home. On a good day, the path to the beach was generally a double snailtrack of water that had been forced from each end of a trail of coal sacks.86. The difference between the two types of coal was that ___.A. sea coal burnt betterB. sea coal was cheaperC. sea coal was more finely-grainedD. sea coal came in big pieces87. Certain equipment was used because ___.A. the people were very traditionalB. it could be made by the communities themselvesC. it had proved to be practicalD. the communities had curious habits88. Which piece of equipment was not vital to sea-coal collecting?A. A rakeB. A sackC. A lady’s bikeD. A piece of string89. To carry three sacks of coal on a bicycle it was necessary to ___.A. put one of them on the saddleB. balance them all on the crossbarC. balance two on the crossbarD. put two through the framework90. By using the bicycle ___.A. the collectors could ride homeB. the coal could be moved easily over the sandC. the collectors could sell more coalD. excess liquid could be removedTEXT CDid you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone”regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands—not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child’s head in affection; they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people—especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S.. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more. )91. In terms of bodily distance, North Americans ___.A. are similar to South AmericansB. stand farthest apartC. feel ill at ease when too closeD. move nearer during conversations92. For Asians, the comfort zone ___.A. is deliberately determinedB. measures 21 inchesC. varies according to statusD. implies esteem93. It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman ___.A. would behave in the same way as an American wouldB. would make no particular effort to distance himselfC. would be afraid of bodily contactD. would do his best to leave94. When Americans tell a joke, they often ___.A. pat people on the headB. give people a hugC. dig people in the ribsD. touch people on the arm95. The passage mainly concerns ___.A. distance and bodily contactB. body languageC. cultural differences between the East and the WestD. hand signalsTEXT DDo Insects Think?In a recent book entitled The Psychic Life of Insects, Professor Bouvier says that we must be careful not to credit the little winged fellows with intelligence when they behave in what seems like an intelligent manner. They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.During the summer of 1899, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, we kept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a wasp, except that it looked more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.It was still a young wasp when we got it (thirteen or fourteen years old) and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was a female we decided to call it Miriam, but soon the children’s nickname for it—“Pudge”—became a fixture, and“Pudge” it was from that time on.One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and in leaving the room I tripped over. a nine of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses of all the larvae worth knowing in North America. The cards went everywhere.I was too tired to stop to pick them up that night, and went sobbing to bed, just as mad as I could be. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards. “Maybe Pudge will pick them up”, I said half laughingly to myself, never thinking for onemoment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Pudge was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on the floor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them the night before. The faithful little insect had buzzed about all night trying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing of larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, she would probably make more of a mess of rearranging them than if she had left them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and, discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, where she cried herself to sleep.If this is not an answer to Professor Bouvier’s statement, I do not know what is.96. Professor Bouvier believes that insects ___.A. do not have intelligenceB. behave in an intelligent wayC. are capable of reasoningD. are more intelligent than we thought97. On the evening the author fell over, someone ___.A. had moved his card indexB. had been playing card gamesC. had knocked over his boxes containing cardsD. had looked at his collection of diamonds98. When he came to the laboratory the next morning, the author ___.A. saw that his cards had already been rearrangedB. realized that the wasp had been trying to helpC. found evidence of the wasp’s intelligenceD. found his index cards still scattered about the room99. The author’s account of his wasp’s intelligence ___.A. is imaginaryB. is convincingC. firmly proves his point of viewD. is valuable for insect study100. The purpose of this article is to ___.A. oppose Professor Bouvier’s point of viewB. support Professor Bouvier with his own experienceC. further discuss whether insects are intelligentD. illustrate the working theory behind the author’s thesisSECTION B SKIMMING AND SCANNING ［5 MIN.］In this section there are 6 passages with a total of 10 multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then answer the questions.Skim Text E and answer questions 101 to 102.TEXT EMaybe you’d like to have a vegetable garden, but you live in a room, an apartment, a townhouse or a mobile home, and you think there is no place at all for such activity. But if you have a doorstep, a balcony or even just a windowsill, you can have your own mini-garden.Mini-gardening with vegetables, fruit trees and herbs can be fascinating fun, and you can mix or match all vegetables or vegetables and flowers. You can grow them in greenhouses, under fluorescent lights, or in a sunny window.Perhaps now, with the prices of fresh vegetables competing with those of meats and dairy products, this is more than ever an important aspect of indoor gardening. But entirely aside from the economic dividends, there is the pleasure of enjoying a truly fresh product, one you grew yourself from plant to plate.Vegetable plants grow better in full sunlight than in the shade. Some vegetables need more light than others. Leafy vegetables (lettuce) can stand more shade than root vegetables (beets). Root vegetables can stand more shade than vegetable fruit plants (cucumbers) which do very poorly in the shade. Plant your vegetable fruit plants where they will get the most sun, and your leafy vegetables and root vegetables in the shadier areas.101. The passage is mainly concerned with ___.A. fruit growingB. outdoor gardeningC. leafy vegetablesD. indoor gardening102.

1994年专四真题

1994年英语专业四级真题Part I Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B],[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage AA Wise ManHe was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and most just and wisest man. ”Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.Socrates‟ method of teaching was to ask quest ions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.1.In the first paragraph, the word yet is used to introduce _______.A.contrastB.a sequenceC.emphasisD.an example2.Socrates was condemned to death because he ______.A.believed in lawB.was a philosopherC.published outspoken philosophical articlesD.advocated original opinions3.The word unsurpassed in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A.untoldB.unequalledC.unnoticedD.unexpected4.By mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer implies that ______.A.it was surprising that Socrates was so famousB.Socrates was not so learned as he is reputed to have beenC.Socrates used the work of his students in teachingD.the authorities refused to publish Socrates’works5.Socrates accepted the death penalty to show ______.A.his belief in his studentsB.his contempt for conservativesC.his recognition of the legal systemD.that he was not afraid of deathPassage BIn England, along a stretch of the north-east coast which gently curves from Northumberland to the estuary of the river Tees, there was a spot, typical of many on that coast, where sea-coal collected richly and effortlessly. This coal was a coarse powder, clean and brilliant. It seemed to bear little resemblance to the large, filthy lumps put onto the fire. Although it was coal, it was perfectly clean and it was silently deposited at high tide in a glittering carpet a kilometre long for the local community to gather up.The gear needed for sea-coaling expeditions was a curious and traditionally proven assortment which never varied from community to community along the entire north-east coastline. Sacks were essential to put the coal in, and string to tie the neck of each sack when it was full. A wooden rake was used to serape the coal from the beach. The only alternative to the rake was a flat piece of board held in the hand. A flat, broad shovel to lift the raked coal into the bags, completed the portable hardware.But the most crucial item of equipment was a bicycle, a special kind of rusty, stripped down model which was the symbol of the sea-coaling craft. A lady‟s bike was no good because it lacked a crossbar, and that was an essential element in transporting sea-coal. One full sack could be slung through the triangular frame of a man‟s bike, another over the crossbar and, sometimes, even a third on top of that. It not only enabled one to move the sea coal from place to place, but the pressure of the metal bar against the full, wet sacks forced excess water out of the coal while it was being wheeled home. On a good day, the path to the beach was generally a double snailtrack of water that had been forced from each end of a trail of coal sacks.6.The difference between the two types of coal was that ___.A.sea coal burnt betterB.sea coal was cheaperC.sea coal was more finely-grainedD.sea coal came in big pieces7.Certain equipment was used because ______.A.the people were very traditionalB.it could be made by the communities themselvesC.it had proved to be practicalD.the communities had curious habits8.Which piece of equipment was not vital to sea-coal collecting?A.rakeB.A sackC.A lady‟s bikeD.A piece of string9.To carry three sacks of coal on a bicycle it was necessary to ______.A.put one of them on the saddleB.balance them all on the crossbarC.balance two on the crossbarD.put two through the framework10.By using the bicycle _______.A.the collectors could ride homeB.the coal could be moved easily over the sandC.the collectors could sell more coalD.excess liquid could be removedPassage CDid you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone”regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes! Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands—not only with gesture but also with touch. They p ut a sympathetic hand on a person‟s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child‟s head in affection; they readily take someone‟s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people—especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S.. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more. )11.In terms of bodily distance, North Americans ______.A.are similar to South AmericansB.stand farthest apartC.feel ill at ease when too closeD.move nearer during conversations12.For Asians, the comfort zone _______.A.is deliberately determinedB.measures 21 inchesC.varies according to statusD.implies esteem13.It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman ______.A.would behave in the same way as an American wouldB.would make no particular effort to distance himselfC.would be afraid of bodily contactD.would do his best to leave14.When Americans tell a joke, they often _______.A.pat people on the headB.give people a hugC.dig people in the ribsD.touch people on the arm15.The passage mainly concerns ________.A.distance and bodily contactB.body languageC.cultural differences between the East and the WestD.hand signalsPassage DDo Insects Think?In a recent book entitled The Psychic Life of Insects, Professor Bouvier says that we must be careful not to credit the little winged fellows with intelligence when they behave in what seems like an intelligent manner. They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.During the summer of 1899, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, we kept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a wasp, except that it looked more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.It was still a young wasp when we got it (thirteen or fourteen years old) and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was a female we decided to call it Miriam, but soon the children‟s nickname for it—“Pudge”—became a fixture, and“Pudge”it was from that time on.One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and in leaving the room I tripped over. a nine of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses of all the larvae worth knowing in North America. The cards went everywhere.I was too tired to stop to pick them up that night, and went sobbing to bed, just as mad as I could be. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards. “Maybe Pudge will pick them up”, I said half laughingly to myself, never thinking for one moment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Pudge was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on the floor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them the night before. The faithful little insect had buzzed about all night trying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing of larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, she would probably make more of a mess of rearranging them than if she had left them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and, discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, where she cried herself to sleep.If this is not an answer to Professor Bouvier’s statement, I do not know what is.16.Professor Bouvier believes that insects ______.A.do not have intelligenceB.behave in an intelligent wayC.are capable of reasoningD.are more intelligent than we thought17.On the evening the author fell over, someone _______.A.had moved his card indexB.had been playing card gamesC.had knocked over his boxes containing cardsD.had looked at his collection of diamonds18.When he came to the laboratory the next morning, the author _______.A.saw that his cards had already been rearrangedB.realized that the wasp had been trying to helpC.found evidence of the wasp‟s intelligenceD.found his index cards still scattered about the room19.The author’s account of his wasp’s intelligence _______.A.is imaginaryB.is convincingC.firmly proves his point of viewD.is valuable for insect study20.The purpose of this article is to _______.A.oppose Professor Bouvier’s point of viewB.support Professor Bouvier with his own experienceC.further discuss whether insects are intelligentD.illustrate the working theory behind the author’s thesis Passage EMaybe you‟d like to have a vegetable garden, but you live in a room, an apartment, a townhouse or a mobile home, and you think there is no place at all for such activity. But if you have a doorstep, a balcony or even just a windowsill, you can have your own mini-garden.Mini-gardening with vegetables, fruit trees and herbs can be fascinating fun, and you can mix or match all vegetables or vegetables and flowers. You can grow them in greenhouses, under fluorescent lights, or in a sunny window.Perhaps now, with the prices of fresh vegetables competing with those of meats and dairy products, this is more than ever an important aspect of indoor gardening. But entirely aside from the economic dividends, there is the pleasure of enjoying a truly fresh product, one you grew yourself from plant to plate.Vegetable plants grow better in full sunlight than in the shade. Some vegetables need more light than others. Leafy vegetables (lettuce) can stand more shade than root vegetables (beets). Root vegetables can stand more shade than vegetable fruit plants (cucumbers) which do very poorly in the shade. Plant your vegetable fruit plants where they will get the most sun, and your leafy vegetables and root vegetables in the shadier areas.21.The passage is mainly concerned with _______.A.fruit growingB.outdoor gardeningC.leafy vegetablesD.indoor gardening22.T he author‟s attitude towards the topic in the passage is _______.A.neutralB.positiveC.contradictoryD.indifferentPart II Vocabulary (20 minutes)23.A ship with a heavy load of timber is reported to have sunk _______ the coast of California.A.offB.onC.atD.in24.Arriving at the bus stop, _______ waiting there.A.a lot of people wereB.he found a lot of peopleC.a lot of peopleD.people were found25._______ your timely advice, I would never have known how to go about the work.A.UnlessB.But forC.Except forD.Not for26.We can assign the task to ________ is capable and trustworthy.A.whomeverB.whoC.whomD.whoever27._______ regular training in nursing, she could hardly cope with the work at first.A.Not receivedB.Since receivingC.Having receivedD.Not having received28.So badly _______ in the car accident that he had to stay in hospital for a few months.A.did he injureB.injured himC.was he injuredD.he was injured29.The country’s chief exports are coal, cars and cotton goods, cars _______ the most important of these.A.have beenB.areC.beingD.are being30.It was recommended that passengers ________ smoke during the flight.A.notB.need notC.could notD.would not31.“She must be in the dormitory now. ”“No, she _______ be there.
