江苏省专升本英语真题2011年第Ⅰ卷Part Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneEveryone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity, There are so many different kinds of food in the world—Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare, different types of cuisine, ltalian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all—sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning!Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts of the world. Lots of people love Chinese style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crisper than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispest cooked vegetables you can find.Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more "fast food", such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. It's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the familiy out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an "art form". Some people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly, each person has a different opinion, about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.1、 The main idea of this passage is that ______.A.

And not just any cell phone—the iPhone 3G.According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Social Informatics at Tokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free as part of their study materials.This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representative of the iPhone in Japan. The number of students using the iPhone is expected to reach about 1,000. This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japanese university.The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system (GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem in Japan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a student's grade. Students often fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls.Now, with the iPhone 3G, the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students are allowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a fact that will be proved by the phone's GPS), lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student can't answer the roll call using the phone from any location other than the classroom.Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates, but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phones that they don't want to share with others.As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, but students will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits.6、 According to the passage, American children are ______ at school.A. encouraged to use cell phonesB. not encouraged to use cell phonesC. offered a new type of free cell phonesD. allowed to use free cell phones7、 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the School of Social Informatics? ______A.

High cost of telephoning.9、 The following functions of the iPhone 3G are mentioned in the text EXCEPT ______.A. attendance reportingB. lecture podcastingC. online examinationsD. downloading payment10、 This passage is mainly about ______.A. the uses of the iPhone 3G at a Japanese universityB. the advantages of the iPhone 3G in Japanese universitiesC. the control of dropping classes in a Japanese schoolD. the use of GPS to locate students at schoolPassage ThreeCoco Chanel, a French woman, is very famous for her success in the fashion world. The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883, she was abandoned by her father after her mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nickname Coco, which means "little pet".Starting out as a hat designer, Coco went against the fancy hats being worn at the time. "How can a brain function under those things," she wondered. Instead, she created simple, but beautiful designs which became popular with fashionable young women of Paris.Strangely enough, World War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simple elegance from hats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war, she took the opportunity to show that less can truly be more, introducing turtle-neck(叠领) sweater and pants for women.In 1923, Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who does not wear perfume has no future!" she said, and women believed her. Since its first appearance, Chanel No.5 has been the world's most popular perfume, with another bottle being sold every 30 seconds. And Coco herself inspired generations of women designers and businesswomen to pursue their dreams.11、 The world famous brand "Chanel" is named after ______.A. a little animalB. a hat companyC. the nickname of a French womanD. the surname of a French girl12、 Coco had her hats ______ those of her time at the beginning of her designing.A. fancier thanB. different fromC. similar toD. more expensive than13、 According to the passage, Chanel's designs can be best described as ______A. fashionableB. luxuriousC. simple and elegantD.

We have probably all bad lectures telling that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen.These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with "easier" work on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are simply putting off their work.Laziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking, planning and researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"—that is, taking time off for a rest—is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.16、 The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. laziness is a bad habit that everyone wants to get rid ofB. there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazyC. laziness is the sign of very serious emotional problemsD. lazy people usually do their work more carefully17、 Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage? ______A. Laziness is a kind of mental disease.B. Laziness is more beneficial than harmful.C. Laziness cannot be explained.D. Laziness is sometimes due to a fear of failure.18、 Which of the following ideas does the passage support? ______A. Most of the time laziness is a good quality.B. Most assembly workers are lazy.C. The word "laziness" is sometimes misused.D. Most overworked people are lazy.19、 The author's attitude towards laziness is ______.A. objectiveB. subjectiveC. criticalD. humorous20、 As used ill this passage, the word "devised" (in Paragraph 2) probably means ______.A. understoodB. wroteC. createdD. provedPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and StructureDirections:There are forty incomplete sentences in this part.
