There are some tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the given materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, num bered 46 through 50. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) or D). Y ou should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet with a singl e line through the centre.We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures(手势)can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter orcrying. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese a nd in English literature, a phrase like 'he went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is ei ther very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, 'he opened his eyes wide' is used to s uggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it meanssurprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticki ng out your tongue in English is an insulting(侮辱)gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the s ame culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America h ave shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people' faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand b ody language than younger people do.46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AA) It is difficult to tell what people's words or gestures really mean.B) Gestures can be understood by most people but words can not.C) Words can be better understood by older people.D) We can easily understand what people's gestures mean.47. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because _____C_______.A) people of different sexes may understand a gesture differentlyB) people speaking different languages have different facial expressionsC) people from different cultures use different facial expressionsD) people of different ages may have different interpretations48. In the same culture, people _____D_______.A) hardly fail to understand each other's ideas and feelingsB) are equally intelligent even if they have different backgroundsC) almost have the same understanding of the same thingD) may have different abilities to understand and express feelings49. From the passage, we can conclude that ____A________.A) words and gestures can both be used to express feelingsB) gestures are more effectively used than wordsC) words are often more difficult to understand than gesturesD) words are used as frequently as gestures50. The best title for this passage can be _______B_____.A) Gestures and FeelingsB) Words, Gestures and FeelingsC) Words and FeelingsD) Culture and UnderstandingTask 2Directions: This task is the same as task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 51 through 55.When the early settlers, especially the English, arrived in the New World, the hardships, and dangers awaiting them were totally unexpected. Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists never would have survived the terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, buil ding solid houses, or making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and t his new life was not like what the Spanish explorers had reported.The settlers did introduce iron tools, muskets(步枪) for hunting , domesticated animals, and political way to the Indians. In exchange, the s ettlers learned to build canoes(独木舟) for water transportation and snowshoes for winter traveling. The Indians also taught them to penetrate through the forest, to hunt large animals and trap smaller ones, and to catch fish in the lakes and streams.The natives also introduced to the settlers typical loc al food. Everything possible was done in order to make their new settlement resemble the homes they had left behind.51. Which of the following did the new settlers teach the Indians?DA) New means of water travel .B) How to trap animals.C) New methods of fishing .D) New political ways.52. What can we learn about some local foods in the new land from the passage?BA) They were preferred to eat raw.B) They were soon exported to England by the settlers.C) They were the main foods for Indians.D) They were also common in England.53.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?CA) The settlers had difficulty making friends with the Indians.B) The settlers soon became accustomed to the new world.C) The settlers evidently found the winters severe.D) The settlers were well prepared to encounter hardships.55. From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that _____B_______.A) the settlers hated to live in the new landB) the settlers had a deep love for their old homesC) the settlers would like to forget their old lifeD) the settlers made every effort to improve their new lifeTask 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions (No. 56 through No. 60) to it. You should give brief answers to these questions. The answers should be no more than 8 words. Wr ite them in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Investment is a key way for business to grow and for investors to make money. Numerous studies ha ve shown that, on average, high-risk investors make more than low-risk ones. Over time the stock mar ket rewards them for taking a risk, sometimes makes them suffer from heavy losses. Even during the 1980s, the decade of the stock market crash, one study shows that over the whole of the ten years s hares profited higher than lower-risk fixed interest and property investments.This brings us to the first b asic rule relating to risk: high risk equals high return. If you want to maximise your savings, take some risk with at least some of your money.Keep in mind, though, the second rule relating to risk: diversity, or spread your eggs around lots of baskets. This is partly so you won't be hurt too badly if one com pany fails.Research also shows that you won't be rewarded with high returns for the all-eggs-in-one-ba sket type of risk. In short, you're mad not to spread your money around.56. What is the possible title of this passage?__________________. Investments______________________________________________57. What disadvantage may high-risk investors have?High-risk investors may_________________ suffer from heavier losses________________________ than low-risk ones.58. What is the first basic principle about risk?_______________________ High risk equals high return__________________________________________59.

But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.‖ DNo, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.‖DSon,‖ said the father, Dyou don’t know what you’re asking.

A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound 大工《大学英语4》课程考试模拟试卷(B)第2页共7页stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing Dthe right thing.‖ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, DYou’re just saying that to mak e me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced?Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined andpatient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.6. What does the author try to prove by citing Dwhat kind of impressi on am I making?‖ (Para. 1) A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others. 7.

Whatever your budget is the choice ― from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle ― is all part of fun.HostelsCheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of likeCminded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to u se them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable ― almost like bargain hotels.Youth HotelsFounded many years ago to Dhelp all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside‖, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.B BsThe BB (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.In country areas your BB might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around £12 to £20 per person. City B Bs charge about £25 to£30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.Pubs InnsAs well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.Rates range from around £15 to £25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms. 11.

Decide whether each of the statements is True (T) or False (F). The second and the third passages are both followed by five questions or unfinished statements. There are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1There were once many sheiks(阿拉伯的酋长)who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia. However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands.These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one. One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat. The first sheik gave her some stale food left over from the day before. The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel’s tail.The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After the meal, Queen Maura left the sheiks’ camp.The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.Queen Maura was now certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry ―Hakim is the most generous of you,‖ she told them, ―so I want to marry him and he will become king.‖1. The Queen was looking for a husband. AA. TB. F2. The Queen disguised herself because she didn’t want to be recognized by the sheiks. AA. TB. F3. She gave the sheiks some stale food to eat the next evening. BA. TB. F4. Hakim wanted to eat his meal because it was very tasty. BA. TB. F5. The Queen finally decided to marry Hakim the next evening after the meal. AA. TB. FPassage 2A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man – theman who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary,the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.6. From paragraph 1, we know that in America A.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors7. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because B .A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food8. The underlined expression ―wait on table‖ in the second paragraph means― D ‖.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant9. The author’s attitude towards manual labor is A.A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. critical10. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage? BA. A Respectable Self-made Family.B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.C. Characteristics of American Culture.D. The Development of Manual Labor.Passage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached(附予) to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U. S. A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate(伙伴)waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11. What is the main idea of this passage? BA. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U. S.B. The role of time in social life over the world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U. S.D. Not every country treats the concept of times as the same.12. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? BA. A matter of work.B. A matter of life or death.C. Y ou want to see him or her.D. Y ou want to make an appointment with him or her.13. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S.A.? BA. At 7:00 am.B. At 4:00 pm.C. At the midnight.D. At 4:00 am.14. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? DA. In the U. S. A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B. There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U. S. A..D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.15. From the passage we can safely infer that _____A_________.A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC. it makes no difference in the U. S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanationPart III Vocabulary & Structure(本大题共20小题,每小题1分,共20分)Directions: There are twenty incomplete sentences in this part.

Butthe remarkable Isaac Asimov had produced such an output during his 41-year book career and showed no signsof slowing down even at his old age.Many of Asimov’s science and science fiction works deal with space travel --- such as his well-knownFoundation Trilogy (三部曲) --- yet despite this, Asimov would be perfectly happy never leaving his Manhattanapartment, where he lived with his wife, psychiatrist(精神病医生) --- author Janet Jeppson. “I travel in mywriting to the far ends of space,” he would say, “so I don’t have to travel in real life.” Even if invited,he wouldn’t want to go.But he happily supported the space movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors (理事会).Asimov, a workaholic who said he wanted to end his days “face down on my typewriter,” spent eight hoursa day, seven days a week typing.The Russian-born son of American immigrants, Asimov (1920―1992) began writing science fiction at age 11.His first story appeared in print when he was 18. As he continued writing, he completed college, earning a . in chemistry.Known mainly as a science fiction writer, Asimov was also an essayist, editor, journalist, biographer (传记作家) and humorist. Over the years, he'd owned dozens of awards, including the title Grandmaster of Science Fiction.1. How could Isaac Asimov be such a prolific (多产的) writer during his lifetime? DA.

Mysteries of the sea world.5. What do the achievements made by Isaac Asimov teach us? CA. In order to be successful, you have to be a workaholic.B. Imagination plays an important role in creative writing.C. Passion and hard work lead to success.D. It is important to publish at a young age.Passage 2Is your job doing harm to your health? If you are like a lot of American workers today, you experience a significant amount of stress in work. Stress doesn't just make you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work. And they are at a higher risk for death from any cause than those who are more relaxed.How do you know if your job could be a risk to your health? Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something.If you notice these signs in yourself or your beloved one, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. If the cause does appear to be stress, you should try to make time for yourself away from work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to music, and shutting out the world for a while.1. According to the passage, ____________.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would be bad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.1. If you telephone someone early in the day, it means _______ D ____.A. you are expected to explain whyB. you are not kind enoughC. you want to show your concern for himD. you have a very important matter to discuss2. The expression “a matter of life and death” means ________A____.A. an issue of the greatest importance and emergencyB. a very important appointmentC. a matter of whether someone should live or dieD. a strong desire to communicate3. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded ________ A____.A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended early enoughB. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far in advanceC. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedlyD. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too many people4. The word “misunderstanding” can be explained as _____B_.A. failing to attend a partyB. failing to understand correctlyC. standing in one’s wayD. standing on one's own feet5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A_A. In the US it’s normal to keep someone waiting for some time.B. I n the US it’s not polite to keep someone waiting for an hour.C. In the US one is always expected to be on time.D. In the US one is expected to apologize if he is five minutes latePassage 4Ours is a big world, and full of many different people. People with many varying (不同的) points of view are often running up against others who have different opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism (采取行动) of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate (体谅的) of others when we smoke in public.But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that being polite is a two-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive an agreeable response than if you give an ugly look and say something unkind. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the smell of burning tobacco. We’re human, and like everyone else, we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to change our behavior to accommodate others.Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We have children, mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers (汉堡包) with everything on them and give respect to the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you'll remember that the next time a smoker light up in public.1. The purpose of the first paragraph is ______. DA. to inform the reader of the bigness of the worldB. to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokersC. to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerateD. to reveal the author’s reason for writing this essay2. What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply? CA. We should go on two different roads.B. We have different ways of doing things.C. Being polite to each other is a mutual thing.D. We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke.3. According to the author, how can you get an agreeable response from smokers if you don’t feel like someone smoking beside you? DA. Complain to his boss.B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers.C. Keep from complaining but do something to suggest your feelings.D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.4. According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public? BA. Because they cannot stop from smoking.B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell cigarettes.C. Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people.D. Because there is no law against it.5. How does the author try to persuade the reader? BA. He uses reasons.B. He appeals to people’s feelings.C. He gives examples in his argument.D. He simply states his opinion.Part 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.

This, I think, is a good practice.For one thing, it lightens the burden on public transportation, which is already too crowded. For another, it saves time. As public transportation is overburdened, it often takes a lot of waiting to get on a bus and to transfer from one bus line to another. In addition, cycling has no need for fuel and therefore does not in the least pollute the air. It benefits not only the rider himself but also the residents of the whole community. What’s more, cycling is good for people’s health. Nowadays, with the automation of factories and offices, work, to many people, means button-pressing. What better exercise could such workers have than cycling to and from work?In a word, cycling to work is good for the rider and for our environment.。

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question 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.Passage1There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.11. The author_______________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12. According to the passage, President Jackson________________.A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t good at reading or spelling13. According to the first story, the term “OK”________________.A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct”14. According to the second story, the term “OK”______________.A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election15. According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used____________.A. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people each — a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agricultureand forestry ____________A. About 25 million.B. More than 25 million.C. Less than 25 million.D. Less than 225 million.17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living inmetropolitan areas _____________A. United States.B. Germany.C. France.D. England.18. What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage _________A. Of a large city with its suburbs.B. Of small and large towns.C. Of urban areas.D. Of rural areas.19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States_________A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. Small towns are still similar to each other.C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D. Small towns are turning into large cities.20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb __________A. Because they are the same.B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.C. Because the process is gradual.D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call’ remembered history’. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage ______A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of thehuman history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer manyquestions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______ .A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23. “Remembered history” refers to ___________ .A. history based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when __________ .A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we donow if the ancient people had ___________ .A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsE.made more songs and dancesPassage 4‘Mum, can we go to McDonald’s, please?’ Some people might ask, ‘Where would we be today if we did not have fast food?’ and ‘Where would parents take their children out to eat?’ It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more famous than McDonald’s. The distinctive ‘golden arch’ can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonald’s had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29 million people a day.Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of ‘think global, act local’. McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their ‘Mac’ meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardised set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a ‘local’ flavour. For example, in Hong Kong, food called ‘Shake Shake Fries’ and ‘Red BeanSunday’ can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ‘Vegi Macs’ are served.However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called ‘junk’ food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. ‘Convenience’ food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy a ‘take-away’ from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.26. The ‘golden arch’ in the second paragraph refers to ______________.A) Burger King B) Taco Bell C) McDonald’s D) all the fast food restaurants27. According to the passage, McDonald’s is successful mainly because __________________.A)It has a standardized set of products all over the worldB)It is not ‘junk’ foodC)Its’ food is convenientD)It adapted its meals to different cultures.28. In the passage, which of the following terms has/ have the same meaning with fast food.A) ‘junk’ food B) ‘convenience’ food C) ‘take-away’ D) all of the above29. Fast food is often called ‘junk food’ because _____________.A)some people think it is unhealthy and full of fatB)fast food chains produce enormous amounts of wasteC)it is no longer fresh foodD) Both A and B.30. The main idea of this passage is ____________.A)fast food todayB)the successful secret of McDonald’s.C)why fast food is thought as ‘junk’ foodD)different opinions toward fast foodPart ⅢVocabulary and Structure(25 points)Section ADirections: In this section there are 15 incomplete sentences.

学习中心______________ 姓名____________ 学号____________Part I Reading Comprehension (本大题共15小题,每小题2分,共30分)Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it uponcushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it s houldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.1.

In many families, both the husband and wife work full-time,so their free time is very important to them. Th ey look for quick and convenient ways to do their shopping and other things they want to do.Many years ago, people had to go to the fish market to buy fish, to the butcher for meat and chicken, to fruit market for fresh fruit, and to the bakery for bread and rolls. Now most people go to just one place. They can buy fruit, bread, meat, fresh vegetables, frozen foods, and beer at the local supermarke t. Th ey can also buy things for house, such as pots and pans, brooms and buckets (桶). They can even buy socks and stockings, shoes, mitten (手套), and sunglasses at supermarkets.When Americans eat out, they often go to fast-food restaurants. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are always ready. People order their meals at the counter and wait for their food just a few seconds or minutes. Then they carry the food to a table, eat it,and throw their trash (垃圾) away. It takes only 20 minutes or so to eat a meal at a fast-food restauran t.Supermarkets and fast-food restaurants are therefore very important to people in the United States. They are quick and convenient, and tha t's what people want when they are always looking for ways to save time.6.

Th e reading is about ________.A. supermarketB. fast-food restaurantsC. shopping and eating in AmericaD. saving timePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, thelanguages do not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary (词汇). Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major (主要的) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divided them differently. Th e languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3% of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.11.

DA B C DPart II Reading Comprehension (本大题共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Passage 1For most mere mortals (凡人),publishing 466 books would be impossible even in dozens of lifetimes. But the remarkable Isaac Asimov had produced such an output during his 41-year book career and showed no signs of slowing down even at his old age.Many of Asimov’s science and science fiction works deal with space travel --- such as his well-known Foundation Trilogy (三部曲) --- yet despite this, Asimov would be perfectly happy never leaving his Manhattan apartment, where he lived with his wife, psychiatrist(精神病医生) --- author Janet Jeppson. “I travel in my writing to the far ends of space,” he would say, “so I don’t have to travel in real life.” Even if invited, he wouldn’t want to go.But he happily supported the space movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors (理事会).Asimov, a workaholic who said he wanted to end his days “face down on my typewriter,” spent eight hours a day, seven days a week typing.The Russian-born son of American immigrants, Asimov (1920―1992) began writing science fiction at age 11. His first story appeared in print when he was 18. As he continued writing, he completed college, earning a Ph.D. in chemistry.Known mainly as a science fiction writer, Asimov was also an essayist, editor, journalist, biographer (传记作家) and humorist. Over the years, he'd owned dozens of awards, including the title Grandmaster of Science Fiction.1. How could Isaac Asimov be such a prolific (多产的) writer during his lifetime? DA. He began writing science fiction at age 11.B. He published his first work at age 18.C. He seldom left his Manhattan apartment.D. He spent almost all the time writing.2. Which of the following words best describes Isaac Asimov’s personality? CA. Quiet.B. Funny.C. Work-centered.D. Strange.3. How do you understand Isaac Asimov’s home life?BA. He was a hermit (隐士).B. He was a family man.C. He hated social life.D. He didn’t care about his family.4. What was the major topic in most of his books? AA. Space exploration.B. Star wars.C. Computers.D. Mysteries of the sea world.5. What do the achievements made by Isaac Asimov teach us? CA. In order to be successful, you have to be a workaholic.B. Imagination plays an important role in creative writing.C. Passion and hard work lead to success.D. It is important to publish at a young age.Passage 2Is your job doing harm to your health? If you are like a lot of American workers today, you experience a significant amount of stress in work. Stress doesn't just make you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work. And they are at a higher risk for death from any cause than those who are more relaxed.How do you know if your job could be a risk to your health? Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something.If you notice these signs in yourself or your beloved one, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. If the cause does appear to be stress, you should try to make time for yourself away from work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to music, and shutting out the world for a while.1. According to the passage, ____________. AA. many American workers are under stress latelyB. almost all people know how to get rid of stressC. most people go to doctors for help with stressD. it is sure that our work is doing harm to our health2. How does stress at work affect your life? AA. It makes you unhappy at work.B. It always affects your health.C. It makes you worry all the time.D. It keeps you from working well.3. Which of the following is mentioned as a sign that your job is unhealthy? CA. Sudden aches and pains.B. Frequent bad days.C. Trouble remembering.D. Loss of time to relax.4. When should you do something about your problems? BA. When you’ve been told by others that you should do something.B. When you’ve noticed several bad symptoms over a long time.C. When you’ve let stress affect your friendships or life at work.D. When you’ve visited a doctor and he has told you to leave work.5. What can you do if you’ve noticed some of th e signs of stress? AA. See a doctor and try to relax more.B. Change to another less stressful job.C. Assume much fewer responsibilities.D. Take up a hobby like playing music.Passage 3In the United States, it is not normal to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would be bad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will saya few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.1. If you telephone someone early in the day, it means _______ D ____.A. you are expected to explain whyB. you are not kind enoughC. you want to show your concern for himD. you have a very important matter to discuss2. The expression “a matter of life and death” means ________A____.A. an issue of the greatest importance and emergencyB. a very important appointmentC. a matter of whether someone should live or dieD. a strong desire to communicate3. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded ________ A____.A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended early enoughB. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far in advanceC. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedlyD. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too many people4. The word “misunderstanding” can be explained as _____B_.A. failing to attend a partyB. failing to understand correctlyC. standing in one’s wayD. standing on one's own feet5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A_A. In the US it’s normal to keep someone waiting for some time.B. In the US it’s not polite to keep someone waiting for an hour.C. In the US one is always expected to be on time.D. In the US one is expected to apologize if he is five minutes latePassage 4Ours is a big world, and full of many different people. People with many varying (不同的) points of view are often running up against others who have different opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism (采取行动) of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate (体谅的) of others when we smoke in public.But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that being polite is a two-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive an agreeable response than if you give an ugly look and say something unkind. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the smell of burning tobacco. We’re human, and like everyone else, we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to change our behavior to accommodate others.Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We have children, mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers (汉堡包) with everything on them and give respect to the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you'll remember that the next time a smoker light up in public.1. The purpose of the first paragraph is ______. DA. to inform the reader of the bigness of the worldB. to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokersC. to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerateD. to reveal the author’s reason for writing this essay2. What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply? CA. We should go on two different roads.B. We have different ways of doing things.C. Being polite to each other is a mutual thing.D. We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke.3. According to the author, how can you get an agreeable response from smokers if you don’t feel like someone smoking beside you? DA. Complain to his boss.B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers.C. Keep from complaining but do something to suggest your feelings.D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.4. According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public? BA. Because they cannot stop from smoking.B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell cigarettes.C. Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people.D. Because there is no law against it.5. How does the author try to persuade the reader? BA. He uses reasons.B. He appeals to people’s feelings.C. He gives examples in his argument.D. He simply states his opinion.Part 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.

In your writing be sure to include the following points:Bicycling to work(1)lighten the burden on public transportation(2)save time (no need to wait or to change)(3)save fuel(4)do not pollute the air(5)do one’s health goodPlease write no less than 100 words.The End!Bicycling to WorkToday in China as well as in many other countries, many people ride a bike to work. This, I think, is a good practice.For one thing, it lightens the burden on public transportation, which is already too crowded. For another, it saves time. As public transportation is overburdened, it often takes a lot of waiting to get on a bus and to transfer from one bus line to another. In addition, cycling has no need for fuel and therefore does not in the least pollute the air. It benefits not only the rider himself but also the residents of the whole community. What’s more, cycling is good for people’s health. Nowadays,with the automation of factories and offices, work, to many people, means button-pressing. What better exercise could such workers have than cycling to and from work?In a word, cycling to work is good for the rider and for our environment.。
