全国高校网络教育公共基础课统一考试大学英语（A）模拟试卷（2010年修订版）Test 6（根据全国高校网络教育考试委员会2011年1月新颁考试大纲和题型进行了相应调整）Information for the Examinees:This examination consists of FOUR parts. They are:Part Ⅰ: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Part Ⅱ: Vocabulary and Grammar (30 points, 25 minutes)Part Ⅲ: Translation (20 points, 10 minutes)Part IV: Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total marks for this examination is 100 points. Time allowed for completing this examination is 90 minutes).Section I: Reading Comprehension [30 points]Part 1: Questions 1-5 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthday; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as s dictum that any marriage seldom solves one’s problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that “success” is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of “Miseries” over early marriage? One cannot generalize: allearly marriage are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so are bad ones. (301 words)1. According to this article the trend toward early marriage ______.A. was the result of the Great Depression of the 1930’sB. could not be easily determinedC. is one that could be clearly seenD. is a result of the emotional maturity of the young2. The author suggests that many of today’s early marriage are a result of ______.A. escapismB. theological dictumC. lack of formal educationD. convenience3. More often than not, early marriage will ______.A. not affect one’s problemsB. solve a person’s problemsC. intensify one’s problemsD. ease one’s problems4. The author states that the home as an institution is ______.A. overratedB. unworthy of worshipC. a god who can grant everything that you wish forD. probably not capable of being what many young people expect it to be5. Many young people who marry early believe that ______.A. their parents have found the true meaning of lifeB. they have found the true center of life’s meaningC. “success” is the ultimate goodD. to succeed is not at all importantPart 2: Questions 6-10 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level.But to everyone’s surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.Five families agreed to let their children play “Macbeth”for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note: “Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic.”It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith’s way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big-much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine.This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core ofhis success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith’s view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, but teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don’t know what to do.The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. “What happened to pursuit?” Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing effort and the slogan, “There Are No Shortcuts”.As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got around the original ban on his after- school “Macbeth”rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town”. When that class finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. “Rafe”, she said, “I’ve never seen Shakespeare done better.”(376 words)6. It can be learned from the passage that Esquith’s students ______.A. liked the traditional teaching betterB. were relatively poor in intelligenceC. were mainly from immigrant familiesD. refused to cooperate with the new teacher7. At first, Esquith’s Shakespeare-teaching ______.A. won the support of the school authorityB. got slow response from the school authorityC. did not draw attention from the school authorityD. was not allowed by the school authority8. It is implied that most educator ______.A. fail to realize the potential of disadvantaged studentsB. fail to introduce fun into the learning of disadvantaged studentsC. are reluctant to admit the unfair treatment to disadvantaged studentsD. are unaware of the difficulty faced by disadvantaged students9. Esquith’s principle of teaching is different from the general one in that ______.A. he insists on giving harder lessons to more advanced studentsB. he places greater emphasis on hard work in students’ learningC. he pays less attention to students’ academic performancesD. he dismisses the concept of extra homework for students10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. An inspiring teacher wins the love and respect of his students.B. An experienced teacher contributes to the school and the students.C. An innovative teacher makes changes in the students.D. An optimistic teacher helps build confidence in the students.Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar [30 points]Part 1: Questions 11- 20 are based on this section.

Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil(不文明的) behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moralrights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people. Just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality(道德) that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽).Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents are due to the mental condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers'reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violatetraffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road- worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have beenlowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.25． What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A．To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B．To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C．To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D．To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.a social problem because ______.A．autos have become most destructive to mankindB．people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC．civilization brings much harm to peopleD．the lack of virtue is becoming more severe27． Why does the author mention the mental condition of the driver in Paragraph 3?A．To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B．To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.is a problem to nearly everyone at some time. A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then, next morning, feel that he hardly slept all night. Normally, worrying about notgetting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its possible causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary.A large number of simple factors may make it difficult for someone to fall asleep or remain asleep. His mattress may be toosoft or too hard. The bedroom itself may be overheated or too cold. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficultyin sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed may also be responsible for insomnia. Stimulating drinks, such as tea or coffee, can also keep people awake.Inability to fall asleep is sometimes a symptom of emotional or mental disorders. Insomnia may also be caused by pain and, very rarely, it can be a symptom of a physical disease.The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should check the mattress, bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes, He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps by reading a book, watching television or taking a warm bath. If he wakes during the night, he should try turning on the light and reading for a while. Above all, he should try not to worry about sleeplessness.If necessary, a doctor may prescribe tranquillizers(镇静剂) or sleeping pills. Take only the dosage he prescribes; any more is dangerous.30． What is insomnia?A．A problem nearly everyone has ever had.B．The phenomenon people stay up all night long.C．A physical disease.D．One fails to fall asleep or easily wakes up in the midnight.A．Adjust the temperature of one's bedroom.B．Take some sleepingpills before one goes to sleep.C．Try to turn on the light and do some reading.D．Not to get too worried about sleeplessness.32． Which of the following statement is true according to the text?instructors for posts of one-year duration at the English EducationCenter beginning April 2005.Qualifications:Bachelor's degree, native English proficiency, and teaching experience required; TEFL certification preferred; daily conversational ability in Japanese preferred.Duties:Full-time work teaching communicative English to first and second year students.

The tired mind gathers new energy, and the memory improves. Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four hours. Infants(婴儿) sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily, the amount gradually diminishing as they grow older. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people have little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a rule you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours--nearly five days. Whatever the limit, it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. Thelimit for human beings is probably about a week.36． By writing this passage, the writer intends to tell usthat______.A．sleep is important for good mental and physicalhealthB．a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleepC．memory is improved during sleepD．sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings37． From the amount of sleep Napoleon, Edison, and Darwin required, we can conclude______.A．that they were famousB．that they wereexecutivesC．that they wereintelligentD．None of the above38． The amount of sleep required may______.A．tire an individual mindB．help infants grow olderC．apply pressure on anexecutiveD．depend on an individualage39． If a person is not allowed to follow his own sleep routine, he will probably______.A．never fallasleepB．not sleepwellC．lose hismemoryD．begin todaydream40． The author implies that if human beings are kept awake for more than a week the result______.A．is hard to imagineB．will probably be a mentalbreakdownC．is difficult to describeD．will probably be deadthese may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And wewill no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, mancreated world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.41． In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A．By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B．By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C．By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D．By reproducing it.42． What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A．He believes they will be useful to human beings.B．He believes that they will control us in the future.C．He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D．He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.43． The word "carbon" (Line 3, Para.2) stands for______.A．intelligentrobotsB．a chemicalelementC．an organicsubstance.D．human beings44． A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when______.A．its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB．it is able to bear the rough environmentC．it is made as complex as the human brainD．its architecture is different from that of the presentones45． It can be inferred from the passage that______.A．after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproductionB．with the rapid development of technology, people have cometo realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC．once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, itwill possess intelligenceD．robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in spaceTask 3Directions: The following is a passage.

《大学英语》试卷及答案(共三套)
《大学英语》(A卷)Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions:Choose the best answers according to the passage.Passage1Advertising can be thought of“as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”.Advertising aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest.It tries to inform and to persuade.The media are all used to spread the message,and the press offers a fairly cheap method.Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market.The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets.Television,although more expensive,can be very effective.Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer.Since advertising forms partof the cost of production,which has to be covered by the selling price,it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However,if large scale advertising leads to increased demand,production costs are reduced,and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales.When the market is growing,advertising helps to increase demand.When the market is shrinking,advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support.What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.1、Advertising is often used to______.A)convince customers B)promote productionC)raise interest D)push the sales2、According to the passage,trade fair(Paragraph1)may_______.A)replace exhibitions and markets B)supply local goods and servicesC)attract possible customers D)provide cheap amusements3、Advertising is in the main paid for by______.A)the customer B)the producerC)the increased sales D)the decreased costs4、The author says that advertising can increase demand_______.A)in any period of sales B)in any circumstancesC)in a growing market D)in a shrinking market5、What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us is that______.A)businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have toB)businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profitsC)advertising couldn’t convince people of the value of the goodsD)advertising usually costs businessmen,large amounts of moneyPassage2Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime.We move from town to city to suburb,from high school to college in a different state,form a job in one region to a better job elsewhere,from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement.With each move we are forever making new friends,who become part of our new life at that time.For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships.Today millions of Americans vacation abroad,and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people.No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend,but the beginning of a friendship is possible.The word“friend”can be applied to a wide range of relationships—to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker,to a childhood playmate,to a man or woman,to a trusted confidant(知已)。

Passage 1Is breakfast the most important meal of the day My generation certainly grew up hearing and believing in this statement, which doesn’t stop most of us from rushing out in the morning with only a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. However, in an estimated 40 percent of American families there isn’t even an adult present in the kitchen to urge children to finish their breakfast. So, more children avoid breakfast than any other meal.While no one has proven that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s at least of equal importance w ith lunch and dinner. Experts warn that your body burns the energy from food within four hours. Although you may use up less energy while you sleep, it’s a long time until morning and you still wake up with the need for lots more fuel.Some studies have sh own that children who avoid breakfast don’t do as well in school. Besides lack of energy, we all know how tough it is to focus when your stomach’s making noises and you're counting hours until lunch.In addition, a recent Canadian study suggests that avoiding breakfast may increase the chance of a heart attack. It's been known that the incidence of heart attacks is highest in the first few hours after waking.So, there’s no doubt the importance of breakfast is more than just an old wives’ tale. The problem comes in following the advice. How do you find time to make a proper meal and then make time to eat itThe American Health Association recommends that breakfast should supply at least one-fourth of the daily food needs. And it’s important to include a var iety of foods to supply energy until the next meal. Foods like bread can be digested 消化in as little as 30 minutes; however, foods like eggs, milk, meat, and cheese last longer, and can help you make it to lunchtime.1. Today the saying “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is ___ A __.A. paid less attention toB. totally out of dateC. no longer a truthD. of no value2. According to the passage breakfast is ____C_______ lunch and dinner.A. better thanB. less important thanC. as important asD. more important than3. The passage mentions that not having breakfast can cause children to have trouble ___B___.A. listeningB. focusingC. exercisingD. waiting4. People who do not have breakfast may be more likely to ___D___.A. get more work doneB. have frequent headachesC. lose too much weightD. suffer from heart disease5. Having various foods for breakfast ____B____.A. means you can eat less for lunchB. can supply you with energy until lunchC. may make you successful in the dayD. will give you warmth the whole dayPassage 2A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. It is easy to get such an idea even though there is not a good reason for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental skills, or he may accept anoth er person’s mistaken estimate of his ability.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will add to his belief about his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought. In this way, they too developed the idea. He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day he became very angry at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.When Adler succeeded in solving the problem, he rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became very good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.1. What’s the main idea of the pass age AA. A wrong self-image may prevent one from reaching his full potential.B. It's easy for a person to believe in his own incompetence.C. Never take to heart what others think of you.D. Lack of success is often the result of lack of ability.2. Why a person’s mistaken notion often results in failure CA. He believes he’ll succeed one day.B. He feels that he’s not good enough.C. He believes he’ll fail anyway.D. He doesn’t need to make any effort.3. What’s the function of Alfred Adler’s example in the whole passage BA. Alfred Adler’s experience illustrates his poor start in math.B. Alfred Adler’s story exemplifies the author’s conclusion.C. Alfred Adler’s example shows his real ability in arithmetic.D. Alfred Adler’s example teaches us the value of self-confidence.4. According to the author, what’s the reason of a child for thinking he is stupid DA. There’s not a good reason for this kind of thinking.B. Because the people around him tell him it.C. Because he never thinks that he can also be smart.D. Because he does not know how to make full use of his mental powers.5. According to the author, many people’s mental pictures about themselves are ______C____.A. correctB. in focusC. out of focusD. accuratePassage 3There were days in which Danny could forget that he had graduated from Boston University. After 17 years of education in the finest schools in America, he couldn’t repair a burnt connection in his car or locate a carburetor 化油器.Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can discuss Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can discuss Marx from a Freudian viewpoint.In short, Danny is a worker without skills, and he has a sociology degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry.This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out workers of this sort for decades. Until five years ago, most of these workers took their degrees in sociology, philosophy, political science, or history, and marched right into the American middle class. Some found work in business and government but many, if not most, went into education, which is the only thing they knew anything about. Once there, they taught another generation the skills necessary to take tests and write papers.But the cycle broke down. There are too many teachers these days, college applications are down, plumbers are making $12 an hour, and graduates with degrees in fields like sociology are faced with a choice: graduate school or drive a taxi.Danny chose the taxi because driving was about the only skill he had that he could make money with. Danny refers to his job as “Real World 101”. He has been beaten and shot at. But he has also acquired some practical skills: he can get his tickets fixed; he knows how to cheat the company out of a few extra dollars a week; he found his carburetor, and he can fix it.1. What did Danny’s schooling teach him CA. How to repair cars.B. How to make choices. How to write papers. D. How to teach classes.2. Five years ago, a college degree ensured _______C_______.A. a position doing graduate studiesB. a skilled job for college graduatesC. a place in the American middle classD. a set of skills that was very useful3. What is causing the system of college study to break down CA. There are better jobs to be had.B. There are not enough students.C. There are too many teachers.D. There are few good jobs for us.4. Why did Danny choose to drive a taxi after he graduated from college DA. He wanted to get more true experience in society.B. He wanted to learn the new skill of repairing cars.C. Taxi drivers can earn more than middle class people.D. He had no other skill to support himself but driving.5. Though his job is difficult and dangerous, Danny ____B__.A. has begun to enjoy his new jobB. has learned skills that are usefulC. has finally forgotten his old lifeD. has learned more than in collegePassage 4Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night and you couldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you triedYou were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get any sleep atall—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was “How many uses can a box be put to”The results The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly.Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the tired students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn’t enough to help the students overcome their tired ness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you think harder, you cannot do better.”This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airplane pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.1. According to the passage, failure to think of new ideas may be ____ A ____.A. caused by a lack of sleepB. caused by hard questionsC. caused by a weak brainD. caused by too much study2. Tired people have no problem with ______C______.A. finding uses for boxesB. making creative ideasC. doing simple math testsD. taking research tests3. The purpose for offering money to the tired students was to ___ D__.A. help them repair their brainsB. stimulate their interestsC. convince people to joinD. encourage them to do better4. Sleep might help people by _____ A_____.A. repairing the brainB. giving creative dreamsC. providing fresh energyD. allowing harder thought5. This information is useful to people like nurses and pilots because ____ D____.A. they often meet situations in which they must be creativeB. they often take tests to display their abilities to do their jobsC. they often go to the hospital because of brain problemsD. they often get little sleep but make important decisionsPart III Cloze本大题共20小题,每小题1分,共20分Directions: In this section there is a passage with 20 blanks.For each blank there are three choices marked A, B, and C on the right side of the paper.

I did have some doubts. After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it was worthwhile to attend college.I decided to go to college mainly because I was always hungry for knowledge. I became more and more interested in math, physics and chemistry. I longed to explore further into theses areas.I chose to go to college also because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development. I could take part in sports and join campus organizations, which could help make me a well-rounded person.I chose to go to college partly because I was aware that in today’s world many professions require years of specialized training. People without a college education will find it difficult to obtain a desirable position.After I went to college, I found my decision was a wise one.。

We are all of us apt to take certain general ideas for granted，and call them common sense. We should learn that other people have held quite different ideas，and that our own have started as very original guesses of philosophers. A scientist is apt to think that all the problems of philosophy will ultimately be solved by science. I think this is true for a great many of the questions on which philosophers still argue. For example，Plato thought that when we saw something，one ray of light came to it from the sun，and another from our eyes and that seeing was something like feeling with a stick. We now know that the light comes from the sun，and is reflected into our eyes. We don’t know in much detail how the changes in our eyes give rise to sensation. But there is every reason to think that as we learn more about the physiology of the brain，we shall do so，and that the great philosophical problems about knowledge are going to be pretty fully cleared up. But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others that perplex us today，there will still be one field of which they do not know，namely the future. However exact our science，we cannot know it as we know the past. Philosophy may be described as argument about things of which we are ignorant. And where science gives us a hope of knowledge it is often reasonable to suspend judgment. That is one reason why Marx and Engels quite rightly wrote to many philosophical problems that interested their contemporaries. But we have got to prepare for the future，and we cannot do so rationally without some philosophy. Some people say we have only got to do the duties revealed in the past and laid down by religion，and god will look after the future. Other say that the world is a machine and the course of future events is certain，whatever efforts we may make. Marxists say that the future depends on ourselves，even though we are part of the historical process. This philosophical view certainly does inspire people to very great achievements. Whether it is true or not，it is powerful guide to actionWe need a philosophy，then，to help us to tackle the future. Agnosticism easily becomes an excuse for laziness and conservatism. Whether we adopt Marxism or any other philosophy，we cannot understand it without knowing something of how it developed. That is why knowledge of the history of philosophy is important to Marxists，even during the present critical days.41.What is the main idea of this passage？A.The main idea of this passage is the argument whether philosophy will ultimately be solved by science or not.B.The importance of learning philosophies，especially the history of philosophy.C.The difference between philosophy and science.D.A discuss about how to set a proper attitude towards future.参考答案：B42.The example of what Plato thought in the passage shows thatA.the development of science really can solve a great many of the problems on which philosophers still argueB. plato knew nothing about PhysicsC.the scientists have achieved a lot in terms of light theoryD.different people have different ways of perception参考答案：A43. What field can our descendants know？A.The origin of human beingsB.Some questions that perplex us today.C.Many philosophical problems which Marx and Engels wrote rather little.D. The future.参考答案：D44. How many kinds of ideas are there about the future？A.TwoB. ThreeC.FourD. Five参考答案：B45.What are the functions of studying philosophies mentioned in the passage？A.The study of philosophies would make our own idea flexible.B.The study of philosophies would help prepare us for the future and guide our actions.C.The study of philosophies would enable us to understand how things develop as to better tackle the future.D. All of the above.参考答案：DDriving cars，trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work，to school or to friends’houses.Driving can be very convenient，but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light，a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction，there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry，so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry，and impatient.Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone，over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely，everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive，learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe，convenient and even fun！46.The word “ convenient “ in the passage means ________ .A.handy，easy to doB.that can be changedC.fond of drinking and merry-makingD.carriages or other trucks参考答案：A47.If you cut another car off，its driver may be _______.A.impatientB.terribleC.angryD.both A and B参考答案：C48.The sentence “ Traffic accidents declare millions of lives “means “_______“.A.Traffic accidents make some people become millionairesB. Many people die from traffic accidentslions of people say they themselves have had traffic accidentslions of people remain healthy after traffic accidents参考答案：B49.According to the passage，driving can be safe if _______.A. you are patientB.you obey all the traffic rulesC.you don’t cut another car offD.you wait in line at a red light参考答案：B50.Which of the following may be the best title for this passage？_______.A.Traffic SafetyB.A CarefulC.How To Drive A CarD.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The small black ants that we see running back and forth in the grass are the same ants that annoy us by coming to our picnics uninvited. They are not trying to make pests of themselves, but are only doing the housekeeping job they were made for . They are nature’s clean-up crew.One of these ants, scouting (搜寻) in the grass, finds the trail of an injured beetle. In some mysterious way the news spreads. Soon there are two ants, then a few more. Then a dozen or more are running around the beetle. Enough ants will come to put an end to it.When the beetle is deed, the ants carry it away to their underground burrows.

The question I asked over and over was this: Why?A challenge and an element of adventure are welcome whether you are 20 or 58.But why did I decide to swim the Channel at 58?The Channel has always been the supreme challenge to swimmers; a test of ability, endurance, luck and even bravery. It is this challenge that appeals to about 100 swimmers a year who are willing to spend time, effort and money to try it. One fact that contributes to my interest is that, if I succeed, I will be the oldest person ever to swim the Channel.I don’t think I’m a superman. I do think I have at least three things going for me: First, I am training hard. Second, I am a very a goal-oriented person for whom this swim has long been a goal. Third, I have a feeling I will be psychologically ready.36.

Its influence is very small but measurable. Whether in restaurants, shopping centers or assembly lines---even farms---background or mood music can be heard almost anywhere in the United States, from hushed executive offices to screeching wrecking yards. One hand tool manufacture plant found that efficiency increased 4.5% with the introduction of background music while a California farmer found discovered that such music calmed nervous cattle and prevented stampedes (惊逃) that used to cause thousands of dollars in damage. The type of music seems to have an impact. Department stores play slower music during the week to encourage shopping but speed up the beat on weekends when the crowds are heavier.

Traffic accidents are increasing 46, and large cities are 47 by too many automobiles. Worst of all, perhaps, 48 the air pollution caused 49 the internal-combustion (内燃机) engine. Every year engine burns 50 gallons of fuel each year and pumps gases 51 the air. These gases are one 52 of the smog that hangs over large cities. Some of these gases are 53 and dangerous 54 health, especially for someone with a weak heart or a respiratory disease(呼吸系统疾病).One answer 55 the problem of air pollution is 56 a car that does not pollute. That’s 57 several major automobile manufacturers are trying to do. But building a clean car is 58 said than one. 59 , progress has been slow. 60 solution is to eliminate car fumes (烟)altogether by 61 the internal-combustion engine. Inventors are now working on turbine-powered cars, 62 on cars powered by steam and electricity. 63 most of us won’t be driving cars run batteries or 64 water for a while yet.

Maybe you’ve heard the saying: “A bird with a broken wing will never fly high.” Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school. By high school, Ware was the most well-known troublemaker in his town. Teachers would complain when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists for the next semester. He wasn’t very talkative, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights. He had failed almost every class by the time he entered his senior year, yet was being passed on each year to the next grade. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. Ware was moving on, but definitely not moving up.。
大学英语A考试试题及答案
大学英语A统考模拟试题大学英语A 1一、阅读理解1、This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers。
Men and women can be seen, but they are following the orders given to them by machines。
The machines were designed by mad scientists，but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super—inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film。
Why is it so popular？One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people；fear of the unknown fear of what is not understood or，at least，fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives。
Somefactory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers。
Our bank accounts are managed by computers。

Its influence is very small but measurable. Whether in restaurants, shopping centers orassembly lines---even farms---background or mood music can be heard almost anywhere in the United States, from hushed executive offices to screeching wrecking yards. One hand tool manufacture plant found that efficiency increased 4.5% with the introduction of background music while a California farmer found discovered that such music calmed nervous cattle and prevented stampedes (惊逃) that used to cause thousands of dollars in damage.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Even though the majority of Americans would find it hard to imagine what life could be like without a car, some have begun to realize that the automobile is a mixed blessing. Traffic accidents are increasing 46, and large cities are 47 by too many automobiles. Worst of all, perhaps, 48 the air pollution caused 49 the internal-combustion (内燃机) engine. Every year engine burns 50 gallons of fuel each year and pumps gases 51 the air. These gases are one 52 of the smog that hangs over large cities. Some of these gases are 53 and dangerous 54 health, especially for someone with a weak heart or a respiratory disease(呼吸系统疾病).One answer 55 the problem of air pollution is 56 a car that does not pollute. That’s 57 several major automobile manufacturers are trying to do. But building a clean car is 58 said than one. 59 , progress has been slow. 60 solution is to eliminate car fumes (烟)altogether by 61 the internal-combustion engine. Inventors are now working on turbine-powered cars, 62 on cars powered by steam and electricity. 63 most of us won’t be driving cars run batteries or 64 water for a while yet. Many auto makers believe that it will take years 65 practical models that are powered by electricity or steam.46. A) steadily B) easilyC) urgently D) generousC) crowded D) troubled48.

That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. Maybe you’ve heard the saying: “A bird with a broken wing will never fly high.”Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school. By high school, Ware was the most well-known troublemaker in his town. Teachers would complain whenthey saw his name posted on their classroom lists for the next semester. He wasn’t very talkative, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights. He had failed almost every class by the time he entered his senior year, yet was being passed on each year to the next grade. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. Ware was moving on, but definitely not moving up.。

大学英语（A）模拟试卷（附参考答案）Information for the Examinees:This examination consists of FOUR parts. They are:Section I: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar (30 points, 25 minutes)Section III: Translation (20 points, 10 minutes)Section IV: Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total score for this examination is 100. The time allowed for this examination is 90 minutes.Section I: Reading Comprehension [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take approximately 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO sections in this part.Part 1: Questions 1-5 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may bewalking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces ofnature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.1. Mountaineering involves ______.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above2. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of ______.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants3. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on others while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team4. Mountaineers compete against ______.A. natureB. each otherC. other teamsD. international standards5. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?______.A. Mountaineering is different from golf and footballB. Mountaineering is more attractive than other sportsC. MountaineeringD. Mountain climbersPart 2: Questions 6- 10 are based on this part. (15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are alreadyrunning away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax would be charged. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean energy, so coal would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion iscertain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.6. According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.A. to encourage people to use renewable energiesB. to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organismsC. to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of powerD. to talk less but act more7. The standard of paying tax was _________.A. that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would payB. that oil would be more expensive than clean coalC. that renewables would be most expensive of allD. in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest8. We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.A. may not be as effective as people expectB. has encouraged renewable producers to cut costsC. has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfullyD. couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden9. The underlined word "crippling" (Para. 3) most probably means _________.A. greatly increasingB. seriously weakeningC. sharply decliningD. abruptly halting10. The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.A. governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious resultB. if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow itC. governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new taxD. governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they didn’t believe it themselves.Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar [30 points]Instructions:Ø This section will take 25 minutes.Ø There are TWO parts in this section.Part 1: Questions 11- 20 are based on this section.

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.

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.

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 1College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, e.g. being on my own, talking with friendly people. These are some of the things I like about college.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you'renot going out tonight." or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a current or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people, that's another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a very good place, too!31.The text is perhaps written by ____a____.A.a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD.a foreign visitor32. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2mean? It means ___d_____.A. I shall be responsible for my parentsB. I shall be responsible for my teacherC. I shall be responsible for the schoolD. I shall be responsible for myself33. From Paragraph 3 we know that ____d____.A. the writer knew Marymount University quite wellB. the writer was a student from VirginiaC. the writer came to Marymount University aloneD. the writer liked his/her dorm very much34. What is New Gerard?cA. It's a student's name.B. It's a teacher's nameC. It's a dorm's name.D. It's a school's name.35. Which of the following is NOT true?dA. People in Marymount University are friendly.B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.C. The writer drove to Marymount University on the first day.D. The writer is not homesick.Passage 2At the center of our solar system is a star called the Sun. It is a ball of very hot gases. Its diameter is more than 100 times as big as that of the Earth. It gives off powerful rays of light in the form of radiant energy. This energy travels to the Earth at a speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. This means that sunlight takes 8.33 minutes to get to the Earth.The temperature on the surface of the Sun is about 5,520°C, and it is much hotter inside. Scientists now believe that the heat of the Sun comes from natural atomic energy. In this process,hydrogen is believed to be changed to helium (氦) with an enormous amount of energy given off. The mass (matter) is changed to energy. This energy is in the form of heat, light, and other forms of radiation.36. The author makes all of the following statements about the Sun EXCEPT that it___d___.A.is a starB.emits light raysC.is made up of gassesD.is more than 100 times heavier than the Earth37. It can be inferred from the passage that the temperature of the outer rim (缘) of theSun is ___b___.A.hotter than the Earth’s interiorB.cooler than the Sun’s interiorC.as hot as the Earth’s interiorD.as hot as the Sun’s interior38. The author implies that scientists at one time did not believe that atomic energywas ___a___.A.the source of the Sun’s heatB.contained in the Earth’s coreC.able to travel at the speed of lightD.less powerful than solar energy39. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the manner inwhich the Sun is thought to produce energy?dA.Helium heats hydrogen, which gives off light.B.Heat and light melt hydrogen, which produces helium.C.Light produces hydrogen and helium, which gives off energy.D.Hydrogen turns into helium, which gives off light and heat.40. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?dA.The Sun --- the Largest Star in the Sky.B.The Sun --- The Brightest Star in the Sky.C.The Sun --- Ball of Hot Gasses.D.The Sun --- Great Source of Energy.Passage 3In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately 8 hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks (船闸) each year.The French initiated the project but sold their rights to the United States. The latter will control it until the end of the twentieth century when Panama takes over its duties.41. Who currently controls the Panama Canal?cA. FranceB.

However, the fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor 61 that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage; for there are very important differences 62 the teacher’s work and the actor’s work. The actor has to speak words which he ahs learned 63 ; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part; 64 his movements and the way in which he uses his voice are usually fixed 65 . What he has to do is to make all these carefully learned words and actions seem natural on the stage.The good teacher works in 66 different way. His audience takes an active part in his play, they ask and answer questions, they 67 orders, and if they do not understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act 68 the need of his audience which is his class. He cannot keep his part in mind, but must 69 it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to play a part in a stage-play because their brains would not keep discipline; they could not keep strictly to 70 .c61.

No modem industry or company can survive without advertising; it is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising were abolished(废止), as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies that advertise would suffer a considerable loss.Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment. Television's primary purpose, however; is not to provide an entertainment service except in the case of governmentowned networks. It exists in order to promote products for companies. If the television industry did not receive income from advertising, watching television would be at least as expensive as going to the movies.Like television, many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products. In some cases, the stories, pictures, and editorials(社论) simply attract people to buy a particular product. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the advertising. Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of the mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyer to choose one product over another. It also informs people of new products that are important in their lives, for example, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or the development of tires(轮胎) that prevent skidding (打滑) on wet pavement (路而；人行道).Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; however, it does help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to relay(转播) news from the manufacturer to the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of everyday fife and a part of every company's budget.34． According to the first paragraph, what attitude do people take towards advertising?A．People think highly of advertising.B．People criticize advertising.C．Some people welcome advertising while othersdon't.D．There are more criticisms of advertising thanpraises.35． Modem industry or companies cannot survive ______.A．if advertising continues to existB．if the link between the customers and manufacturers remains goodC．if "the criticized child" dies outD．if society has become more industrialized36． The main function of advertising is ______.A．to promote products forcompaniesB．to inform the public of newproductsC．to influence buyersD．All of the above.37． Which of the following is NOT true about advertising?A．Advertising does not always increase sales.B．Advertising serves to relay information from buyers to producers.C．Advertising is and will continue to be a necessary part of everyday life.D．It is suggested that advertising should be abolished.38． What is the author's attitude towards advertising?A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Neutral.D．Critical.antipyretic (退热的) substances.

Analgesics (止痛剂) should not be taken for prolonged (持续的) periods of time or in high doses without consulting a doctor.Saridon is usually well tolerated.

Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthday; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as s dictum that any marriage seldom solves one’s problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that “success” is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of “Miseries” over early marriage? One cannot generalize: allearly marriage are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so are bad ones. (301 words)1.

(15 points)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level.But to everyone’s surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.Five families agreed to let their children play “Macbeth”for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note: “Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic.”It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith’s way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big-much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine.This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core ofhis success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith’s view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, but teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don’t know what to do.The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. “What happened to pursuit?” Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing effort and the slogan, “There Are No Shortcuts”.As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got around the original ban on his after- school “Macbeth”rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town”. When that class finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. “Rafe”, she said, “I’ve never seen Shakespeare done better.”(376 words)6. It can be learned from the passage that Esquith’s students ______.A. liked the traditional teaching betterB. were relatively poor in intelligenceC. were mainly from immigrant familiesD. refused to cooperate with the new teacher7. At first, Esquith’s Shakespeare-teaching ______.A. won the support of the school authorityB. got slow response from the school authorityC. did not draw attention from the school authorityD. was not allowed by the school authority8. It is implied that most educator ______.A. fail to realize the potential of disadvantaged studentsB. fail to introduce fun into the learning of disadvantaged studentsC. are reluctant to admit the unfair treatment to disadvantaged studentsD. are unaware of the difficulty faced by disadvantaged students9. Esquith’s principle of teaching is different from the general one in that ______.A. he insists on giving harder lessons to more advanced studentsB. he places greater emphasis on hard work in students’ learningC. he pays less attention to students’ academic performancesD. he dismisses the concept of extra homework for students10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. An inspiring teacher wins the love and respect of his students.B. An experienced teacher contributes to the school and the students.C. An innovative teacher makes changes in the students.D. An optimistic teacher helps build confidence in the students.Section II: Vocabulary and Grammar [30 points]Part 1: Questions 11- 20 are based on this section.

We do." It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: Machines, rockets, and guns, too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture.Before the invention of agriculture men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, and sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out everyday, too. They collected roots, fruits and grass. Then, one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the Middle East. They grew, and the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home andlook after the .children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: Dogs, cows, sheep and goats. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Civilization began.

If you could collect all the heat that hits the earth in a two-week period, it would equal the amount of all other known sources and reserves of energy: Wood, coal and oil. But even these sources of energy depend on the sun for their formation. For example, a tree would certainly never grow and provide fuel in the form of wood were it not for the sun.Because the sun is so important in the production of all forms of heating fuel, more and more time and money are being spent studying ways to change power from the sun directly into a form of heat.The process currently in use for collecting energy from the sun--known as solar energy--is quite simple. The sunlight hits a metal plate known as a flat-plate collector and the plate absorbs the heat front the sun. This heat, in turn, heats a liquid inside the plate. A layer of fiber-glass inside the plate helps prevent thisheat from escaping. In this way, solar heat can be stored in a liquid solution equalling about 1,000 watts of electricity per square meter.In the 1960s, a solar furnace was installed in the Pyreness Mountains of France to test the use of solar energy. In this furnace, a mirror is used to concentrate the sun's heat. This concentrated heat keeps temperature in the furnace as high as 6,000 °F.41． How does the amount of heat the sun gives off in two weeks compare with all other known sources and reserves of energy?A．More.B．Less.C．As much as.D．About thesame.42． What have the scientists been studying?A．Ways to change solar energy directly intoelectricity.B．Ways to change solar energy into a form of solid.C．Ways to change solar energy into a form of heat.D．Ways to change solar energy into a form of liquid. 43． What can be inferred from the passage?A．The sun gives off countless heat.B．The tree could grow without the sun, but not verywell.C．People try to change solar energy into cookingfire.D．The sun's temperature can be as high as 6,000°F.44． What is Not True about the solar energy in this passage?A．The amount of heat the sun gives off is very great.B．The process currently in use for collecting energy from the sun is not complex.C．Solar heat is vitally important for all forms of life.D．Solar heat can only be used, but not stored.45． What is the passage mainly talking about?A．The usefulness of solar energy.B．Solar energy and its transformation intoheat.C．How can solar energy be stored.D．How can solar energy be made to serve man.Task 3Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks.46． The key to a good interview is thorough preparation.

统考大学英语A——模拟练习题4
大学英语A——模拟练习题4一、阅读理解What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often, and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did" or "You are such a smart child".1、The questions in the first paragraph are raised to _____.A、introduce the topic of what makes a clever mindB、compare Albert Einstein with ordinary peopleC、summarise the characters of an intelligent personD、prove that there are no answers to these questions参考答案:A解析:【答案】A【解析】细节题，问：“第一段提出的问题是为了____。

Passage 1What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a tool is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he getsto many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by thechanges in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.6、What makes a scientist according to the passage? ____B____.A. The tools he usesB. The way he uses his toolsC. His ways of learningD. The various tools he uses7、"The scientist, however, goes one step further…". The author says this to show ____C____.A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs8、A sound scientific theory should be one that _____A___.A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement9、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _____C___.A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations10、What is the main idea of the passage? __D______.A. The theory of relativityB. Exactness is the core of scienceC. Scientists are different from ordinary peopleD. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientistPassage 2Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.11、Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______B__A：People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B：All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C：Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D：Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.12、With the same money needed for____C____, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A：getting a small flat with a gardenB：having a small flat with a gardenC：renting a small flat without a gardenD：buying a small flat without a garden13、When the garden is in blossom, that one ____B____ has been rewarded.A：living in the countryB：having spent time working in the gardenC：having a garden of his ownD：having been digging, planting and watering14、People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ____A___ if they had to live outside London.A：their life was meaninglessB：their life was invaluableC：they didn't deserve a happy lifeD：they were not worthy of their happy life15、The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ____C____.A：deal withB：do away withC：escape fromD：prevent awayPassage 3People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy thing we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyonecan help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理)of the products we use in our daily lives.16. The main cause of pollution is __A___.A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environmentB. the production of new industrial goodsC. increased amounts of a natural substanceD. our ever-increasing population17. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only ___C_.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers18. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _B___.A. air and water pollutionB. both a litter problem and a waste of resourcesC. to pay for the serviceD. to produce the receipt19. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? BA. Cutting out unnecessary buyingB. Eating lessC. Reduce excess useD. Carefully dispose our daily products.20. What does the underlined word "litter" mean in paragraph 2 ? CA. not manyB. serious problemC. bits of waste thingsD. industrial pollution第三部分：词汇与结构（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）此部分共有20个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。
