READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage OneHaving been sitting out in his back yard in the snow for about an hour, Bobby was getting cold. Bobby didn’t wear boots; he didn’t like them and anyway he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmasgift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless, even if I do have an idea, I don’t have any money to spend.” Ever since his father had passed away three years before, the family of five had struggled. His mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small wage that she was earning could only be stretched so far.What the family lacked in money and material things was more than made up for in love and family unity. Three of his sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother. Here it was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started to walk down to the street where the shops and stores were.It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to. Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. Suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer of the setting sun’s rays reflecting off on something along the curb. He reached down and picked up a shiny dime. Never before had anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. Warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store he saw. His excitement quickly turned cold when the salesperson told him that he couldn’t buy anything with only a dime. He noticed a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother. The shop owner put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder and said to him, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”When the shop owner came out and moved to the counter, Bobby saw in his hand twelve long-stemmed red roses, with green leaves and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them neatly into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man,” the shop owner said. Slowly, Bobby gave the man his dime. Could this be true? No one else would give him a thing for his dime! Sensing the boy’s reluctance, the shop owner added, “I just happened to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen. Would you like them?” This time Bobby did not hesitate, and took the long box from the man. Walking out of the door that the owner was holding open for him, Bobby heard the shopkeeper say, “Merry Christmas, son.”As he returned inside, the shopkeeper’s wife walked out. “Who were you talking to back there and where are the roses you were fixing?” Staring out of the window, and blinking the tears from his own eyes, he replied, “When the little boy came into the shop and wanted to buy a flower for his mother with that small dime, I saw myself, many years ago. I too, was a poor boy with nothing to buy my mother a Christmas gift. A bearded man, whom I never knew, stopped me on the street and told me that he wanted to give me ten dollars ...” The shop owner and his wife hugged each other tightly, and as they stepped out into the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel the cold at all.41. Why did the six-year-old boy Bobby feel so upset on Christmas Eve?A. He had no father to take care of him.B. His mother could not buy boots for him.C. The family was suffering from poverty in spite of the mother’s hard work.D. All of the children in the family but him had Christmas gifts for their mother.42.

The shopkeeper mentioned the rose sale to put the boy completely at ease.45. Which of the following might be the best title for the story?A. Value ofRosesB. Love—Passed onC. Home Is theBest D. No Pains, No GainsPassage TwoCould Google, the world’s largest search engine, be causing our memory banks to be weak? Maybe, say four Columbia University researchers, who believe Google’s instant search mechanics could be training our brains to get rid of information we’re sure of quickly finding again with a few taps on a keyboard.Times certainly have changed. I can still remember having to memorize stuff back in grade school like linking verbs—“is, am, are, was, were, have, has, had, etc.”—as if reciting a ritual chant, or the precise sequence of northeastern states, left to fight, top to bottom. Nowadays, I just look up Google Maps if I can’t remember whether it’s Vermont before New Hampshire, or whether to answer “this is he” or “this is him” when someone asks for me on the phone.But we’ve heard this tune before, right? I’m looking at a book on my shelf, The Shallows, by author Nicholas Carr, whose article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” set off all kinds of cultural and scientific discussions in 2008. The Shallows elaborated on points in that article and brought in actual neurological research to support Carr’s thesis that the Internet may be dramatically rewiring our brains.And with the Columbia research, the evidence that something’s up is growing. In the study, titled “Google Effects on Memory: Cognitive Consequences of Having Information at Our Fingertips,” the Columbia University researchers claim that when we’re sure of access to information in the future, our ability to summon that information from memory drops. Conversely, our ability to recall how to access the information goesup. Thus, the researchers argue, “The Internet has become a primary form of external memory, where information is stored collectively outside ourselves.”According to Betsy Sparrow, the study’s lead, “Since the coming of search engines, we are reorganizing the way we remember things. Our brains rely on the Internet for memory in much the same way they rely on the memory of a friend, family member or co-worker. We remember less through knowing information itself than by knowing where the information can be found.”Is Google really wrecking our memory? The answer is “it depends.” The Columbia University report doesn’t offer evidence of actual memory diminishing. Instead, the suggestion is that, influenced by Internet and search engine use, our memories are switching job hats and becoming more external. Instead of remembering “ends,” we’re remembering “means.” Search engines like Google are simply becoming extensions of our brains, sort of like wireless electronic devices.And it’s not unacceptable to consider ways in which such a memory shift might actually benefit us. “Perhaps those who teach in any context, be they college professors, doctors or business leaders, will become increasingly focused on teaching greater understanding of ideas and ways of thinking, and less focused on memorization,” suggests Sparrow.Would that be such a bad thing? After all, I’ve always thought the popular notion that memorizing precisely where something is on a map as a sign of “intelligence” was pretty dumb. I’d rather have an accurate working knowledge of the details that separate, say, Shia from Sunni, the two main branches of Islam, than how to point at random to Turkey or Brazil on a globe.46. The result of the Columbia University research is that ______.A. search engines may weaken our memoryB. the way we remember things may be changedC. our memory may rely heavily on external informationD. search engines may extend our memory of information47. The phrase “job hats” in Paragraph 6 refers to ______.A. the original memory banksB. the roles of search enginesC. the abilities to deal with informationD. the ways of remembering information48. Which of the following could be an example of the “means” (Para. 6) we rely on?A. Memory of colleagues.B. Knowledge about Shia and Sunni.C. Location of Vermont and New Hampshire.D. Positions of different countries on the globe.49. According to the Columbia study, what may happen when we have easy access to information?A. Our external memory begins to fail.B. Our actual memory begins to diminish.C. We are likely to remember the means of getting that information.D. We are likely to store that information permanently in our memory.50. The writer believes Google may benefit us because we can ______.A. improve our intelligence and knowledgeB. develop our understanding and thinkingC. memorize thingsprecisely D. reorganize our brains非选择题部分注意事项：用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能答在试题卷上。

(40 points)Text 1:In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce overall poverty, development banks have to do more than increase capital flows to the poor. They also need to fundamentally alter the conditions under which many people live and raise questions about cultural practices often taken for granted and handed down from generation to generation. (46)_____. Poverty and development are multi-dimensional, involving a range of economic, social, cultural and psychological factors that can lead to both individual and collective actions and choices. Therefore, development banks should consider all factors that have an impact on poverty reduction when designing policies and programs aimed at poverty eradication. (47)_____. This requires a fundamental shift in how development banks view poverty reduction: from a focus on providing financial assistance to a focus on creating enabling environments for individuals and communities to thrive. Development banks should also support local communitiesin their efforts to identify their own development needs and goals by building their capacity to obtain access to information and by facilitating open dialogue between community members. By engaging with local communities and individuals directly, development banks can ensure that development programs are designed to address their specific challenges and are culturally sensitive. (48)_____. By focusing on enabling rather than directly providing resources or services, development banks can help build sustainable local capacity over time. This approach also helps create a sense of ownership among local community members, who see themselves as agents in their own development rather than passive beneficiaries of outside assistance. (49)_____. Development banks need to recognize that cultural practices can be obstacles to poverty reduction if they prevent individuals and communities from taking advantage of development opportunities or if they encourage negative coping mechanisms, such as the exploitation of natural resources or。

But scientists say that the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities. It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings—called vertical farming(垂直农业)—can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather. Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy. But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures. That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time.

We all looked forward to this. What would people think of us? For me, I hope to be the hero of the class. I was not disappointed. All my classmates admitted my experience, and I quickly became well known as “the French guy”. I was very popular for a time. However, I was not interested in many things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I had few friends, and fewer good friends. When I look back now, I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me. I kept talking proudly about my experience. And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t. I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were going to move again! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past. When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for fives years. I did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe. I still listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself. Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it. Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well worth it.（分数：10.00）(1).When I first moved to the US, I was very popular because of my ________. （分数：2.00）A.good appearanceB.outstanding talentsC.French accentD.overseas experience √解析：(2).I had few good friends partly because I ________. （分数：2.00）A.looked down upon my classmates √B.liked listening to classical musicC.never went to the moviesD.came from a very rich family解析：(3).The phrase “an idiot”(Line 2, Para. 3) most probably means ________. （分数：2.00）A.an actorB.a cheaterC.a fool √D.a loser解析：(4).When we moved to California, I stopped ________. （分数：2.00）A.boasting about my experience √B.talking about people around meC.enjoying the classical music aloneD.making friends with my classmates解析：(5).The writer would probably agree that ________. （分数：2.00）A.good friends like the same kind of musicB.friends are more important than anything else √C.similar background is the key to friendshipD.a good friend never loses his/her temper解析：四、第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子（第16-25题，每题1分，共10分）(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Dormitory Life ①Living in a dormitory at college can be a great experience. However, if you take no steps to make this experience positive, dormitory life can become a misery. When you choose to live in a college dormitory, you will have a better chance to live a colorful and meaningful life. Meanwhile, you will have to give up many things as well. ②When you live in a dormitory, you can meet many people with different interests. And you can enjoy the various services there. Both are very important to make you successful at college. But you may have to give up much of your personal space. You will share a room with someone else. This means you need to make peace with the things and people around you. ③You will have to learn some important life skills. For example, you will learn how to get along with people. You will also learn to ignore things that you can’t change. But in the future, you will find these skills very helpful when you are working in the real world. ④When you live in a dormitory, you can enjoy a wider range of campus services, which are not available to those who live off campus. If you have any school related problems, you have no difficulty finding someone to help, because the school hires people to help the students living there. ⑤Besides, living on campus means you don’t have to travel to and from school in rush hours. And you are more involved in campus life. For example, you can have a better chance to take part in the club activities and make your own contributions.

When I was born, Grandpa was very happy. He was the first person to give me a baseball glove and to play baseball with me. My first glove was as small as my whole hand is now. When Grandpa gave me that glove, I was very excited.27 It was my pride and joy. When I was five, I played on my first baseball team and Grandpa was the coach. He wanted me to play one position, but I wanted to play another. 28 I tried so hard that I made good progress. Grandpa was very proud of me. Ever since then, he has worked with me to make me a better player. Grandpa has helped me become not only a better player, but a better person. 29 Today Grandpa does not play baseball with me so often, but he still comes to every practice and game.

The environment is all the things around you. All across Earth, humans are 31 the environment in small and large ways. We cut down trees to build houses. We plow fields to 32 crops. We pour waste into rivers, lakes and oceans. We use larger nets and bigger boats to catch 33 numbers of fish. Activities like these affect plants and animals. They 34 affect things like the soil and water. Sometimes our actions make the number of a 35 plant or animal get larger.

2013年10月全国自考《英语阅读(二)》真题及详解【圣才出品】

2013年10月全国自考《英语阅读（二）》真题及详解课程代码：00596选择题部分I. Reading Comprehension (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneComputers should be in the schools. They have the potential to accomplish great things. With the right software, they could help make science tangible or teach neglected topics like art and music. They could help students form a concrete idea of society by displaying on screen a version of the city in which they live—a picture that tracks real life moment by moment.In practice, however, computers make our worst educational nightmares come true. While we bemoan the decline of literacy, computers discount words in favor of pictures and pictures in favor of video. While we fret about the decreasing cogency of public debate, computers dismiss linear argument and promote fast, shallow romps across the information landscape. While we worry about basic skills, we allow into the classroom software that will do a student’s arithmetic or correct hisspelling.Take multimedia. The idea of multimedia is to combine text, sound and pictures in a single package that you browse on screen. You don’t just read Shakespeare; you watch actors performing, listen to songs, view Elizabethan buildings. What’s wrong with that? By offering children candy-coated books, multimedia is guaranteed to sour them on unsweetened reading. It makes the printed page look even more boring than it used to look. Sure, books will be available in the classroom, too—but they’ll have all the appeal of a dusty pia no to a teen who has a Walkman handy.So what if the little nippers don’t read? If they’re watching Olivier instead, what do they lose? The text, the written word along with all of its attendant pleasures. Besides, a book is more portable than a computer, has a higher-resolution display, can be written on and dog-eared and is comparatively dirt cheap.Hypermedia, multimedia’s comrade in the struggle for a brave new classroom, is just as troubling. It’s a way of presenting documents on screen without imposing a linear start-to-finish order. Disembodied paragraphs are linked by theme; after reading one about the First World War, for example, you might be able to choose another about the technology of battleships, or the life of Woodrow Wilson, or hemlines on the 20s. This is another cute idea that is good in minor ways and terrible in major ones. Teaching children to understand the orderly unfolding of a plot or a logical argument is a crucial part of education. Authors don’t merelyagglomerate paragraphs; they work hard to make the narrative read a certain way, prove a particular point. To turn a book or a document into hypertext is to invite readers to ignore exactly what counts—the story.Questions 1—5 are based on Passage One.1. The first paragraph is primarily concerned with ______.A. picturing in what ways computers can help in schoolsB. describing how computers make all subjects easier in schoolsC. showing what computers have accomplished in schoolsD. examining how computers are being used in schools2. What is the author’s attitude towards the software that will do a student’s arithmetic or correct his spelling?A. Amazed.B. Reserved.C. Interested.D. Disapproval.3. What does the author mean by “unsweetened reading” in Paragraph 3?A. Online reading.B. Difficult reading materials.C. Regular books.D. Serious and sad stories.4. The author mentions Shakespeare in order to ______.A. illustrate how multimedia presents information in classroomB. cite one of the most frequently used sources in schoolsC. introduce the importance of reading classicsD. show how multimedia is integrated in traditional teaching5. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the author?A. T eaching students to understand logical argument is highly ignored.B. The employment of hypermedia may hurt students’ lea rning process.C. Hypermedia exposes students to too much information.D. Students’ reading skills have drastically dropped.【文章导读】文章讲了理论上计算机多媒体可以在教学中起到诸多积极作用，但是在实际教学中，情况却并非如此。

Farms Appear in CitiesWhen you hear the word‘‘farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.（1）But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.It may be difficult to believe but in fact the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. （2）Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.（3）Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings-called vertical farming（垂直农业）can solve the problem.（4）Also, and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.（6）Though vertical farms don't exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gasesfrom crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.（7）But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.（8）They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.（9）For example. Some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.（10）1.The word “farm” may make you think of the countryside.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：A解析：根据第一段第一句“When you hear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.”关键词“imagine the countryside”，可知看到农场这个词会想起乡村。

2. It is still a dream for people to grow crops indoors.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：B解析：第二段第一、二句“It may be difficult to believe but in fact the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening.”关键词“growing crops indoors already exists”室内作物种植已经出现，说明室内农场已成为现实，该题干表述有误。

3. Scientists at the South Pole research station live a hard life.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：C解析：通过关键词“South Pole research station”定位第二段最后一句“Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.”并未提及在南极研究站的科学家们生活艰苦。

4. Vertical farming does not need as much land as traditional farming.答案：A解析：第三段第二、三句“First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings-called vertical farming（垂直农业）can solve the problem.”关键词“land”传统农业种植需要许多土地，但是垂直农业能解决这个问题。

所以题干正确。

5．Fresh fruits and vegetables are very expensive in cities.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：C解析：关键词“Fresh fruits”“expensive”查无此词。

6. Crops grown indoors would not be badly harmed by insects.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：A解析：第三段最后一句“Also, and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.”室内农场不会面临严重的虫害和恶劣天气的威胁，题干表述正确。

7. Scientists do not know how to reuse the animal waste in vertical farms.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：B解析：倒数第三段最后一句“Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.”关键词“Waste from chicken or pigs”可见科学家会将鸡和猪的排泄物用作能源，题干表述错误。

8. Some experts say vertical farming could be difficult.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：A解析：倒数第二段第一句“But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.”关键词“not going to be easy”可见垂直农业并非易事，题干表述正确。

9. Indoor plants need the same weather and lighting.答案：B解析：倒数第二段第三句“Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.”关键词“differ”可见不同植物对天气和光照的要求不同，题干表述正确。

10. The first vertical farms appeared 5 years ago.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：B解析：文中出现过5年的句子是“Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.”科学家们认为要克服垂直农场的问题需要5到15年，可见现在垂直农场还未出现，但是题干说垂直农场已经出现，且是在5年前出现，所以题干表述错误。

二、阅读选择（第11—15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

未涂、错涂、多涂或少涂均无分。

A Good LessonAfter living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the United States. We all looked forward to this. What would people think of us?

However, I was not interested in many things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me.（3）I kept talking proudly about my experience.And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.（2）I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were gongto move again! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for five years.（4）I did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe. I till listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself. Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well worth it.（5）11. When I first moved to the US, I was very popular because of my_____.A. good appearanceB. outstanding talentsC. French accentD. overseas experiences答案：D解析：第二段第二句“All my classmates admired my experience, and I quickly became well known as “the French guy”.”关键词“admired my experience”““the French guy””说明主人公因为从法国远道而来，有海外生活经历而备受欢迎。
