大学英语-期末考试试题卷(A)

Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And, despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.To see how the juncos would react if they had somewhere to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.41. Juncos are probably ________.A.very nice to look atB. stronger and more fierce than hawk sC. spending a lot of time worrying about being eatenD. mild in disposition42. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups, they ________.A. are less worriedB. eat lessC. are more worriedD. alter their feeding habits43.

Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that ________.A. birds are not afraid of treesB. birds become bolder if there is a hiding-place nearbyC. birds often hide themselves in treesD. birds are free whether there are trees around or not 45. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Flocking for SafetyB. The Story of JuncosC. Feeding HabitsD. The Research on JuncosPassage TwoOn hot, humid days you can hardly wait until you get to an air—conditioned room. Air conditioning is a method of changing the condition of the air from what it is to what it should be in order to improve your comfort and health. The machinery for doing this is complicated, but the principles of air conditioning are simple. A fan draws in the air from outside the building. The air is full of dust which may affect your health. Therefore, it is first forced through fine screens which catch the dust and filter it out of the air. It cools the air to a temperature that may suit you. The air still contains a proportion of moisture. Too much moisture makes you uncomfortable. Too little makes your nose and throat feel dry. The conditioner adjusts the air to the right proportion of moisture, taking out extra moisture or adding some if there is not enough. The air in your room, too, passes again and again through the conditioner, and in a short time the temperature, the amount of moisture and purity are just right.46. The purpose of air conditioning is __________.A. to manufacture better airB. to improve the condition of the airC. to change the air we now have into a new kind of airD. to produce fresh air47. Conditioning makes air better for us __________.A. by blowing away the dustB. by treating the dust with some chemicalsC. by cooling the dustD. by removing the dust48. On warm or hot days the air can be cooled __________.A. to a desired temperatureB. to a freezing temperatureC. to only a few degrees below the outside temperatureD. Both A and B49. The air conditioner__________.A. removes all the moisture in the airB. adds moisture to the airC. maintains the proper proportion of moisture in the airD. prevents moisture from coming into the room50 . According to the passage, __________.A. air conditioning is of great use only in summer.B. air conditioning is of great help to our comfort.C. it’s not always easy to achieve the desired level of the moisture in the airD. it’s the fan in the air-conditioner that is of great importance.Passage ThreeThe last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before Santa departed for his next stop.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes. Bunny have mistaken the creative for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on his head.“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown creative with antlers, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph, “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick. I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“I’m afraid that I’ve always had a sensitive(敏感的) stomach when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “ But everyone expected me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!51. Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Ch ristmas Eve?A. he was looking forward to seeing his special present.B. he wanted to take a look at Santa when he came at night.C. he was disturbed by a noise on the roof of his house.D. he was thinking what present to ask from Santa.52. Why did Bunny feel disappointed?A. Santa left before he could have a look at him.B. Santa didn’t bring the special present he wanted.C. everything was silent and there was no sign of Santa coming.D. there was a pile of presents under the Christmas tree but nothing for him.53. What do we learn about reindeer from the passage?A. they make big noises while they are flying.B. they look like dogs except for the antlersC. they are all especially good at pull sleds.D. they suffer stomachaches when they take to the air.54. Why didn’t Ralph go with the other seven reindeer?A. he got stuck in the chimney.B. Bunny asked him to stay.C. he was air-sick.D. he didn’t know how to get back to the North Pole.55. This passage seems to tell us that________A. Santa knows what present a child wants without even being toldB. reindeer are hired to bring presents to children on Christmas EveC. if a child stays awake on Christmas Eve, he could catch a glimpse of SantaD. parents take great care when choosing Christmas presents for their children四、Translation(每小题2分，共20分)Directions:Translate the following Sentences.56.

He said, “Snow is very beautiful, but it is very cold.”Then he said, “What is this?” It is a big, round piece of glass. It is beautiful, but it is very cold, too.”But it was not glass. It was ice. It was on a bucket(桶) of water. John said, “Who put this glass here? I’m going to take it into the house.” He took the ice to his father and said, “This is a beautiful piece of glass, but it is very cold and wet. It was on a bucket of w ater in the garden.” Mr Robinson smiled and said, “Take it to the kitchen, put it in front of the stove （炉子） there, and dry it.”The boy took the ice to the kitchen and put it in front of the stove. He dried his hands, because they were very cold and wet, and then he went to the ice again. He looked at it, and then he took it to his father again. He said, “I put this glass in front of the stove, but it does got drier. It becomes wetter and smaller.”21.

Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. Our bodies grow most while we are asleep. Children usually need more sleep. They can learn their lessons better after they have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we don’t get enough fresh air, we’ll feel tired when we wake up. While in bed we must not cover our heads. Our lungs need enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who want to be strong must get plenty of sleep.26.

Warm airD. Sleeping30. In order to get enough air at night, you should ________________A.not cover your headB.close windowsC.sleepD.sleep ten hoursPassage ThreeWe know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food, we have to pay for it. If a doctor treats us, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In return we get needed services. We all use these services without thinking how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for these services through taxes.What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and disease might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets, and good schools. We want police to protect us from crime.These services are expensive. The bills get larger each year. We spend public money today for services that we did not have fifty years ago. For instance, we now use public money to help stop accidents in mines and shops and to help farmers.The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and other public officials. Also, a large amount of public fund is spent on roads.The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. A tax is the money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another.Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help to pay the costs of the government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold. But we want to save them for future years. So, we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.31. Who should pay for the public bills?A. The publicB. The societyC. The governmentD. Both A and C32. Why should everyone pay taxes?A.Because water might even become unclear and impure.B.Because streets might not be cleaned and schools would be closed.C.Because people would become sick and disease might spread.D.Because the government would have funds to work for the welfare of people.33. The largest amount of public money is used to _________________A.protect persons and propertyB.stop accidents in minesC.pay the teachersD.build roads34. Which of the following about taxes is not true?A.It’s lawful that everyone pays taxes.B.The taxes raised are used for supporting the governmentC.Everyone has his right to make a decision in the matter.D.The government spent a large amount of money on road building.35. Why did the government sell public lands years ago?A.Because those public lands were not rich in natural resources.B.Because the government wanted to benefit from the sale of lands.C.Because the government had to pay all kinds of costs.D.Because people needed lands to build their houses.Passage fourEveryone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it through the window. They eat it in their cars. Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes) , shakes ( a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drink and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a com pany’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.Is the food at fast-food restaurants good for you? In general, it is all right, except that it has too much fat and salt.One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.36. In a fast-food restaurant, people ___________.A. stand up to eatB. are served at tableC. eat in a hurryD. serve themselves37. Usually fast food is rich in _______________.A. sugar and milkB. salt and fatC. meat and saltD. beef and fish38. Fast-food restaurant is popular because ____________.A. people are free to order their foodB. the quality of the food is goodC. it is cheaper and faster to have meals thereD. people can find fast food restaurants everywhere.39. Which of the following sentences is not correct?A. The service is fast and the food is cheaper in fast-food restaurants.B. More people like eating fast food.C. People can find the same food in all the restaurants.D. People can take fast food.40. What’s the main idea of the passage?A . Americans eat enough hamburgers to make a line around the world four times.B. Fast-food restaurants are popular in the United States.C Some people can eat fast food in parks.D.- Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-foodrestaurants.Par tⅣTranslation (3’, 3’*5, 15% )Directions: Translate following sentences from Chinese into English.1. 暴雨通常出现在夏季是不足为奇的。

4. What has caused a big problem for Americans?
A. A new kind of car. B. Public transportation.
C. Poor people. D. The gas shortage.
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?
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.
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.

“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”
“That’s right,” answered the pilot. “I can land a plane where nobody else can. But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”
“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring?” said the hunter.
“Is that true?” asked the pilot.
“Yes, it is. I swear it.”
Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. 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 centrePassage OneOne of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of “equal opportunity”.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can fail to become successful when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males aged between 18 and 20. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.It has also been shown that percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexed, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear form this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit form the prizes----money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they for ce their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “it’s up to you.”61.What’s the purpose of raising the school leaving age?A.To provide steps up the ladder of success.B.To provide children with the same chances in society.C.To give children the right to a better school.D.To give children a more thorough state system.62.In people’s eyes, the education system _______.A.provides enough chances to success for childrenB.misses no children who are really cleverC.only provides chances for children from rich familiesD.does not give equal chances to all bright children.63.Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because _______.A.many of the clever ones leave school earlyB.fewer go to university than ever beforeC.more than half leave school when they are 16D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1664.Many children leave school early because ______.A.their social circumstances make them unhappyB.they have to work to help support their familyC.their school is a dull and unhappy placeD.their parents don’t allow them to make their own decisions65.This article shows that equal opportunity in education _______.C.is a thing of the past B. has not yet been achievedD.is there for those who merit it D. has greatly improved our societyPassage TwoWhat you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives what ---and why.The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “I agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today--- so much that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They’ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is a good example of what human warmth means. Whether you gibe a box of chocolates, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.66. The first paragraph is written mainly to tell readers that _____.A.gifts you give can help you understand yourself betterB.gifts should be given when you know a person’s personalityC.gifts can show friendship and love between the giver and receiverD.gifts can tell you something about the person who gives them67. A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter _______.A.beautiful clothes to compliment the receiverB. a gift that was made at home by the giverC. a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiverD.a gift that matches the character of the giver68. People are especially generous if they give ______.A.a thing not found in one’s countryB. an object that shows warmthC. something unusualD. gifts made by hand69. What kind of message is communicated by a gift of food?A.A supportive oneB. A generous oneC. A creative oneD. An usual one70. If you give a large book as a gift, rather than a small one, it may show that ______.A.you enjoy reading very much and want the receiver to enjoy it tooB.the receiver is interesting in reading a large book of that sortC.you want to share with others a certain feeling or newly learned meaningD.you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contentsPassage ThreeThe standardized educational or psychological tests, which are widely used to aid in selecting, assigning or promoting students, employees and military personnel, have been the target of recent attacks in books, magazines, the daily press, and even in Congress. The target is wrong, for, in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools. Whether the results will be valuable, meaningless, or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user.All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance. How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount, reliability and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error.Standardized tests should be considered in this context: they provide a quick, objective method of getting some kind of information about what a person has learned, the skills he has developed, or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has, qualitatively, the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information. Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the empirical evidence concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability.In general, the tests work most effectively when the traits or qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined (for example, ability to do well in a particular course of training program) and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicted cannot be well defined, for example, personality or creativity. Properly used, they provide a rapid means of getting comparable information about many people. Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized.71. In this passage, the author is primarily concerned with _________.A. the necessity of standardized testsB. the validity of standardized testsC. the method used in interpreting the results of standardized tests.D. the theoretical grounds of standardized tests.72. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. standardized tests should no longer be used.B. results of standardized tests accurately reflect the abilities of the testeesC. the value of standardized tests lies in their proper interpretationD. special methods must be applied to the result of standardized tests.73. The word “empirical” (Line 6, Para.3) most probably means “__________”.A. theoreticalB. criticalC. indisputableD. experiential74. According to the passage, standardized tests work most effectively when ___________.A. the user knows how to interpret the results in advance.B. the objectives are most clearly defined.C. the persons who take the test are intelligent or skillful.D. they measure the traits or qualities of the tests75. The author’s attitude toward standardized tests could be described as _______.A. positiveB. criticalC. prejudicedD. indifferent.Part V.
