湖北省成人本科学位英语模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)题型有: 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 5. Cloze 6. Translation 7. WritingPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three 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.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an “ objective” test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.1.In the Middle Ages students( ).A.took objective testsB.specialized in one subjectC.were timed by electric clocksD.never wrote exams正确答案:D解析:细节题。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a singleline through the center.Passage OneAsk a mom if she's happier now that she has a child, and she'll usually say yes. But psychologists who study happiness often report a different picture. Being the mom of a young child (especially one under 3) is rewarding, but also a real strain on your mood. "Moment to moment, you may be tired and sometimes angry, though kids do bring joy" says Peter Ubel, M.D., a professor of medicine and psychology at the University of Michigan. In fact, on their list of enjoyable activities, moms rank childcare lower than eating, exercising, or watching TV, according to a University of Michigan study, and kid care rates only slightly higher than housework, working, or commuting!One reason for the difference between moms and experts: selective memory. When psychologists ask moms in a general way if they like spending time with their kids, the overwhelming majority say they do because they're thinking of fun activities like reading a book or playing in the park. When they're specifically asked to describe their actual daily routine, they remember the hours they spent struggling to get their child dressed or ready for bed.Maybe, though, the psychologists are missing the intensity of joy that time spent with your child can bring. Luckily, those moments can overcome your daily frustrations. "Happiness is morethan just that smiley feeling," says Karen Reivich, Ph.D., a research associate in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's also feeling a connection to something larger than yourself. When people are in service to something bigger, they describe their lives as filled with meaning."16. Which of the following best summarizes Peter Ubel’s opinion of being the mom of a youngchildA. It makes the mom exhausted.B. It is both rewarding and stressful.C. It makes the mom easily irritated.D. It is quite frustrating an experience.17. According to a University of Michigan study, which of the following ranks higher thanchildcare on moms’ list of enjoyable activitiesA. eating, housework or commutingB. eating, exercising or watching TVC. exercising, housework or watching TVD. exercising, commuting or watching TV18. What does the underlined phrase selective memory in the third paragraph meanA. Moms often tend to remember only the happy moments with their children.B. Moms often tend to remember only the hours they spent taking care of their children.C. Experts tend to remember only the happy moments the moms spend with their children.D. Experts tend to remember only the hours the moms spend with their children.19. According to Karen Reivic h, how do the moms’ moments of intense joy compare with theirdaily frustrationsA. Those moments make them feel more excited.B. Those moments make them feel more relaxed.C. Those moments can overcome their daily frustrations.D. Those moments can do nothing about their daily frustrations.20. From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that__________.A. Moms have only the smiley feeling about childcare.B. Moms feel frustrated at taking care of their children.C. Moms enjoy doing housework as a part of their childcare.D. Moms regard childcare as a meaningful part of their lives.Passage TwoDo you go to bed without brushing your teeth You may think that not brushing is not a big deal. But caring for your mouth can prevent serious (and even embarrassing) problems.Cavities happen to just about everyone. A cavity is a diseased spot in the tooth. It all starts with a sticky film made up of bacteria. That film coats your teeth and gums. The bacteria eat sugars from things you eat and drink. That produces acids. Then, the acids eat away at your teeth'shard outer coating, called enamel.If you don't brush regularly to remove the film, or if you keep missing a spot, those acids keep eating away the teeth's enamel. That is how you get a cavity. "The larger it gets, the closer it gets to the nerve, increasing the chance of severe pain," says Lynn Ramer, president of the American Dentists' Association.A cavity will never just go away by itself. It will only get worse. "Left untreated, 100 percent of the time a cavity will spread," says Dr. William Berlocher, a dentist who is also president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.If a cavity is caught early enough, your dentist will be able to fix your tooth. The area of the tooth where the cavity was will be replaced with a special material called a filling. Some fillings are made of a metal blend containing silver. Other fillings are a tooth-colored mix of glass and a strong material called resin.If you ignore a cavity, it will spread. It can go into the tooth's root. At that point, the dentist will have to do a root canal. In that procedure, the dentist removes the tooth's nerve.21.According to the second paragraph, what is a cavityA. a diseased spot in the toothB. a film of acids coating the teethC. a sticky film made up of bacteriaD. a hard outer coating covering the teeth22. What would happen if you do not brush regularlyA. The film coating your teeth would be removed.B. There would be less diseased spots in your teeth.C. The film coating your teeth would be less sticky.D. The acids would keep eating away your teeth’s hard outer coating.23. If a cavity reaches the tooth’s root, how would a dentist treat itA. Replace the cavity with a fillingB. Replace the tooth’s enamelC. Remove the tooth’s nerveD. Pull out the tooth24. According to the fifth paragraph, what are some fillings made ofA. a mix of silver and resinB. a metal blend containing glassC. a metal blend containing copperD. a mix of glass and resin25. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain the formation and treatment of cavityB. emphasize the importance of brushing teethC. discuss the proper ways of brushing teethD. describe how a dentist treats a cavityPassage ThreeSmall talk is like having loose change in your pocket. Like quarters for a pay phone, loose change comes in handy when you least expect it. But when it comes to small talk, you must know when to spend it or save it.All small talk is not the same. With some people, you walk away having killed a few moments. With others, you feel a connection and want to get to know them better. The difference is the effort one or both of you made at making a connection. It helps to call the person by name, mention things you have in common (mutual acquaintances, places you've been, experiences you've shared, career or personal goals), show interest in that person's views or hobbies, and match the other person's speaking style, voice, emotion and body language as you talk.People feel being related to others who like them, appreciate them, enjoy the same things they do and are helpful to them. Time and attention make connections that last.When you're considering small talk, be sensitive to the other person's mood and circumstances. When your airplane seatmate is obviously preoccupied, leave him or her alone. Neither would you approach someone when the person is dashing down a hallway to a meeting. On other occasions, small talk is inappropriate because of the person involved. If the CEO has unexpectedly called you in for "a little chat," this is not the time to take the lead. Let him or her dictate the topic and pace. The same is true with customers. Develop a sixth sense about those who appreciate small talk and those who don't.26. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase comes in handy in the first paragraphA. becomes very usefulB. becomes very specialC. becomes very importantD. becomes very inconvenient27. According to the second paragraph, how can you make a connection with others?A. mention your unique experiencesB. describe others’ dressing stylesC. talk about others’ hobbiesD. discuss others’ names28. If you want to make others’ feel related to you, you may need to__________.A. spend time chatting with themB. show how excellent you areC. give presents to themD. be helpful to them29. According to the fourth paragraph, on what occasion should you avoid making small talk withothersA. when others are strolling on the streetB. when your airplane seatmate asks you for a favorC. when your airplane seatmate is absorbed in thoughtD. when others are walking down the hallway after a meeting30. According to the last paragraph, what should you do when your CEO has unexpectedly calledyou in for “a little chat”A.let the CEO dictate the topic and paceB.talk about the difficulties in your workC.take the lead to make small talkD.decide on the topic of talkPassage FourA biological clock is what tells plants, animals, and other organisms how to organize their time. This ‘clock’ helps plants and animals change their routine when they move to places with different climates and environments. Most biological clocks are based on the movement of the sun and follow a twenty-four hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. Some animals sleep only at night, making them diurnal. Animals that sleep during daytime are nocturnal. Flowers are diurnal because they close their petals at night but they open again in the morning. Bats sleep in the daytime so they are nocturnal.Some biological clocks also follow an annual cycle, especially in animals that have annual migrations. Animals that have annual cycles do different things at different times of year. Their actions are determined by the seasons.Different animals can live in the same area when their biological clocks make them look for food at different times of day. This process also keeps them out of each other's way. Biological clocks help plants and animals prepare for changes in the seasons. Animals need to know what time of year to reproduce so their offspring will be born when the conditions for survival are good.Human beings' sleep cycle is a circadian rhythm, a system based on the twenty-four hour day. In the circadian rhythm most humans sleep at night. When people travel to different time zones their biological clocks have to adjust. In humans, the biological clock is in a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN.) The SCN is located near the bottom middle part of the brain.Scientists are continuing to research the biological clock and circadian rhythms. Scientists discovered the first circadian gene in a mammal (a mouse) in 1997. It is only a matter of time before your own biological clock will tell YOU the time!31.Which of the following type of animal or plant is nocturnalA. human beingsB. flowersC. batsD. cows32.What is a circadian rhythmA. a twenty-four hour cycle of most biological blocksB.the closure and opening of the petals of flowersC. a cycle of some animals’ annual migrationD.the movement rhythm of the sun33.According to the third paragraph, why can different animals live in the same area peacefullyA.Because they look for different types of food.B.Because their conditions for survival are good.C.Because they do different things at different times of year.D.Because their biological clocks keep them out of each other’s way.34.Where is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) locatedA.the bottom middle part of the brainB.the bottom left part of the brainC.the top right part of the brainD.the top left part of the brain35.From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that __________.A.We still lack a full understanding of our own biological clock.B.Our own biological clock is a lot different from that of a mouse.C.We have already known much about the circadian rhythms of mammals.D.There is still a lot to be done before your own biological clock will tell you the time.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then put your choice on the answer sheet.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: (中) When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can do, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn?t sure how itwill all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can't make things work out right, he doesn?t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you?ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life -- he tries to get in touch with everything around him.

Her brave attitude greatly affected her life and her art.O?Keefe?s mother made sure that her daughters got as much education as possible, including private art lessons. O?Keeffe had a strong art interest.When she was very little, O?Keeffe announced that she would be an artist. Later she admitted that she did not know exactly where she got the idea.After finishing high school, she went to a famous art school. Her friend in Texas told her that a school needed someone to supervise their art classes. She moved to Texas to take the job.She soon fell in love with the wide-open spaces of the Southwest. She enjoyed taking long walks down the country roads. She was fascinated with this sunny, dry land. These scenic views were the subjects of many of her paintings.Her friend showed some of her paintings to a famous photographer. He immediately fell in love with the pictures. He displayed O?Keeffe?s work in his gallery. Later he fell in love withO?Keeffe.After marriage they lived in New York City. O?Keeffe painted very big flowers. These paintings later became very popular. She said, “Most people in the city rush around, so they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”In 1928, she went to New Mexico, which changed her life forever. When O?Keeffe arrived there, she said, …Well! Well! This is wonderful. No one told me it was like this!”O?Keeffe loved the land of Northern New Mexico. She found that the thin, dry desert air allowed her to see long distances. Being able to see so far helped her paint some of her most beautiful landscapes.O?Keeffe spent most of her life painting scenes of New Mexico. She called it “the most wonderful place in the world.”36.Georgia O?Keeffe was a ______ girl.A. strongB. braveC. hardworkingD. all of the above37.O?Keeffe went to Texas because ______.A.she got a job thereB.she fell in love with the wide-open spaces of the SouthwestC.her friend invited her to goD.her husband liked the views there38.O?Keeffe?s husband became a famous photographer ______.A.after taking lots of pictures for her worksB.after taking lots of pictures of the SouthwestC.after their marriageD.before meeting her39.She painted flowers because ______.A.she liked themB.she knew they could become popularC.she wanted people in the city to see themD.she wanted to change her style40.“Scenic” in paragraph 5 means _____.A. beautifulB. newC. movingD. surprising 答案36-40 B A D C AQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: (艺术类~~难) What do we see when we go to the movies? Do we see real movement or only the illusion of movement? What is a “motion” picture?A motion picture is actually a series of still pictures shown one after another so quickly that the human eye blends them together. In one second, twenty-four separate pictures are flashed on the screen. Between one picture and the next there is an instant of darkness while the projector moves the film forward. Human eyes are not quick enough to see these pictures separately. Our eyes hold one image until the next is shown. We are not aware of the instant when the screen is dark.Are still pictures that seem to move the only illusion in movies? No. Motion pictures present us with many illusions. Suppose there is a scene showing a storm at sea. Often the ships used in these scenes are models, only inches long, and the waves only ripples. Such scenes are frequently staged in tanks the size of small swimming pools. Special machines produce waves to order inside the tanks.In huge air-conditioned studios, movie-makers can produce any kind of weather for the camera. Rain comes from overhead sprinklers, wind from giantfan. Smoke or fog is likely to be vapor rising from blocks of dry ice concealed behind the scenery.A man gallops into the street of a dusty Western town. Is it a real town? Sometimes. But often the street is lined with false fronts. Rooms in buildings may be just stage sets with one or two walls and no ceiling to make it easy for cameras to film the action.In movies, many things are not what they seem! Today, the sophisticated materials used in the film-making permit the improvement of quality of motion pictures. Both the scenery and the prop in the movies are more like what they are in our real life.41.On the whole, the passage tells us about ______.A. projectors that move filmsB. illusions in motion picturesC. waves that make ripples in poolsD. stage sets in motion pictures42. A motion picture is NOT ______.A. made up of still picturesB. made up of separate picturesC. full of instant darknessD. made up of a continuous moving picture43. Why can?t we see the separate pictures of a film on the screen?A. Because the air conditioning is too strong.B. Because smoke and fog get into our eyes.C. Because they are concealed in the projector.D. Because human eyes are not quick enough to catch the separatepictures.44.What does “illusion” (Paragraph3) mean in the article?A.Real things or movement.B. A series of still pictures in the movie.C.False ideas.D.Motion pictures45.Which statement seems true in accordance with the passage?A.All smoke and fog in the movie come from blocks of dry ice.B.All the film rain comes from overhead sprinklers.C.Movies can only be made outside on nice days.D.We cannot always tell the difference between illusion and reality.答案41-45.

You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then put your answer on the answer sheet.(较难)From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 46 ,they were like newborn children, unable to use this 47 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human ki nd?s future48 and cultural growth increased.Many linguists believe that evolution is 49 for our ability to produce and use language. They 50 that our highly evolved brain provides us 51 an innate(天生的) language ability not found in lower 52 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 53for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 54 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 55 times for language development.Current 56 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 57 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 58 grades. young children often can learn several languages by being 59 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 60 of their first language have become firmly fixed.61 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 62 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 63 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 64 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 65 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.46. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated47.

Each o f the passages is followed by 5questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneA few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped(锥形) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with a straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞).Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute designwas in the shape of pyramid(金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Straping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some other people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16. The first known parachute was designed by ______.A. FrenchmanB. ItalianC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17. Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute was shaped l ike a ______.A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18. Which of the following is about Fausto Veranzio is true?A. He copied da Vinci’s parachute design.B. He made his parachute with feather and wood.C. He experimented with his parachute many times.D. He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.19. As for the first man who successfully used a parachute, ______.A. it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB. we know for sure he was VeranzioC. there were some historical recordsD. we don’t kno w for sure yet20. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the origin of the parachuteB.The dreams of flying and fallingC. the courage of dropping from the skyD. the application of parachute inventionPassage TwoOut of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course(MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的)and offer little educational value to most students. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts?We’re used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they’re not the only-or even the most meaningful – indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out, and littlereward for actually earning a certificate, MOOCs are fundamentally different from traditional calssess – and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million students erolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet (自助餐), sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectualpeers around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one vedio, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOCC is misguided.The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1?A. There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B. It turns out that MOOCs have failed people’s expectations.C. Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOcs.D. The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.22. In Para.2, the author stresses ______.A. the primary objective of MOOC studentsB. the significance of competion rates in educationC. the strengths and weakness of open online coursesD. the differences between MOOCc and trditional classes23. According to Para. 3, students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A. earning a certificateB. improving job-related skillsC. meeting their interest in the subjectsD. exchanging ideas with students worldwide24. The sentence “students treat MOOCs as a buffet” (Para.3) ______.A. emphasizes the core value of MOCCsB. demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC. indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD. explains what students learn from MOOC courses25. What is the author’s attitude toward MOOCs?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Neutral.Passage ThreeWhether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, expecting the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost every one. Let’s go camping.When you camp, you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot of fency equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.Once you find a good site, it’s time to set up tent. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp (防水帆布) over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. If gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. If gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite, pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be safe!26. As is suggested by the aurhor, you should practice setting up your tent ______.A. before the weather turns badB. before your first camping upC. after having selected your campsiteD. once you have decided where to go27. What is the first thing you should do after choosing a campsite?A. Gather firewood.B. Spread a tarp on the ground.C. Set up the tent.D. Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.28. You can gather firewood only ______.A. after you are sure that it is permittedB. after you are certain that no one will get hurtC. if there is no camp store nearbyD. if firewood is out of stock in a camp store29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite is ______.A. burn all the trashB. clean the campsiteC. pour water on the ashesD. collect all the rubbish30. The passage is mainly about ______.A. safety measures a camper should takeB. problems you may face as a camperC. what you need to know about campingD. what you need to bring along for campingPassage FourEvery country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways –by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphongs to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.Fo r most of my career I worked in one of the UK’s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Gold War, when the warwas divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union(苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Gold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’s countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many differenct countries are working together to find out who they are., where they are and what they are planning. Today’s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the Gold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.31. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The tasks of intelligence agencies.B. The contributions of intelligence agencies.C. The equipment used by intelligence agents.D. The recruitment of intelligence agents.32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from ______.A. international terroristsB. the Soviet Union and its alliesC. major criminals within the countryD. agents working for both camps33. What is true about the Gold War?A. Both camps were planning to start a war.B. It was a war fought with advanced weapons.C. No fierce clash broke out during the period.D. It is not regarded as an intelligence war.34. MIS officers’ task is more urgent today in that ______.A. terrorists are more difficult to find than spiesB. most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing peopleC. terrorist attacks happen more frequently than beforeD. it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack35. The best title for the passage might be “ ______ ”.A. Ways of Gathering IntelligenceB. National Defense Against All ThreatsC. Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists Or Spies?D. What We Do As Intelligence OfficersPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: T here are 40 incomplete sentences in this section.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.

Some relate to 81 health, such as starting a workout program or 82 the amount of junk food (垃圾食品) that you eat. Many have to do with self improvement, such as 83 a hobby like painting or photography,or learning a musical instrument. Then there are resolutions that have to do with being better organized. 84 here might include using a weekly planner or organizing your school notes.Despite these differences, there is one thing that most resolutions have 85 .People hardly keep them!

In other words, it is hard for people to succeed without confidence.Confidence plays a vital role on the way of people’s success. Confidence is a kind of strength and faith. It can guide you to your goal. Only with your confidence can you succeed. Take Thomas Edison for example. He is well known for his large number of inventions which were created after thousands of unsuccessful experiments. Had it not been for his confidence,he would not have succeeded finally.As college students, we should bear in mind that confidence will provide its owner with motivation and encouragement in face of difficulties. Indeed, success goes to those who are equipped with confidence. A man with confidence is a man who cannot be defeated.。

Her special area is called, public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees.(76) All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training , and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees?Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐,赶出) and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. (77) These are just a few of the many situations in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend .justice throughout our society.第16题:A person who needs and uses legal help is called a ______wyerB.clientC.tenantD.case worker参考答案:B答案解析:单词辨析题。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In sport the sexes are separate. (76) Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women arc called” the weaker sex” ,or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women’s bodies really weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4. 5 minutes. Women’s speeds are always slower than men’s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21. 2 seconds when she was only 16.The first “Tarzan” in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59. 1 seconds, which is 37. 9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!16.Women are called “the weaker sex” because________.A.women do as much work as menB.people tilde women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together正确答案:B解析:事实细节题。
学位英语试卷四
华瑞学院2009年学位考试复习题一. Reading (本题共15 小题,每小题2分,共30分)are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions . For each of the four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.P assage 1I was born with a disability that affects my balance, causing me to walk with a limp. Not only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys. The disability has had its ups and downs. As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked. There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at me and call my names simply because of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and early 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or seem noticeably different from themselves.Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance. The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down some of those barriers(障碍) that, as a child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no end. Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms.There is nothing in this world that comes easy. I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead. People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability. But their compassion (怜悯) is misplaced.Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life and all that is around me. I want to be seen not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom (成长). So I decided to become an advocate (倡导者) on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored.I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to use and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community.1.Why did children stare at the author when he was young?A. He often lost his balance and fell to the ground.B. He had an appearance quite different from others.C. He walked in an uneven way.D. He spoke in a different way from others.2.It can be inferred from the passage that in the 1970s, disabled children ___________.A. had ups and downs in their lifeB. had frequent fights with their classmatesC. received different treatment at schoolD. were not accepted by their peers3.Being disabled, the author ___________.A. focuses on the limitations he has to sufferB. looks at life as a challengeC. has lost many a battle in his lifeD. is angry for the many opportunities he has lost4.According to the author, his disability _____________.A. has given him a better understanding of lifeB. has prevented him from growing up to a full personC. is a constant barrier between him and the communityD. aroused sympathy from people around him5.Why did the author decided to become an advocate for the disabled?A. He has got a powerful voice to change people’s mind.B. Their rights are still being ignored.C. He still has a mouth to use and a mind to think.D. The signing of the ADA has failed to change a thing in their life.P assage 2I ’m coming off this plane, and landing at London airport. I am looking around for a middle-aged woman, my aunt Penn, who I’ve seen in pictures. The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace (项链) and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I’m just guessing since the pictures only showed her face.Anyway, I’m looking and looking and everyone’s leaving and there is no signal onmy phone and I’m thinking Oh great, I’m going to be abandoned at the airport so that’s two countries they don’t want me in, when I notice everyone’s gone except this kid who comers up to me and says, “You must be Daisy.”And when I look relieved he does too and says, “I’m Edmond.”“Hello Edmond,” I said, “nice to meet you.” I look at him hard to try to get a feel for what my new life with my cousins might be like.Now let me tell you what he looks like before I forget because it’s not exactly what you’re expect from your average fourteen-year-old what with the cigarette and hair that looked like he cut it himself with a knife in the dead of night, but aside from that he’s exactly like some kind of mutt, you know the ones you see at the dog shelter who are kind of hopeful and sweet and put their nose straight into your hand when they meet you with a certain kind of dignity and you know from that second that you are going to take him home? Well that’s him.Only he took me home.I’ll take your bag, he said, and even though he’s about half a mile shorter than me and has arms about as thick as a dog leg, he grabs my bag, and I grab it back and say Where is your mom, is she in the car?And he smiles and takes a drag on his cigarette, which, even though I know smoking skills and all that, I think is a little bit cool, but maybe all the kids in England smoke cigarettes? I don’t say anything in case it’s a well-known fact that the smoking age in England is something like twelve and by making a big thing about it I’ll end up looking like an idiot when I’ve been here five minutes. Anyway, he says Mum couldn’t come to the airport because she’s working, and everyone else seemed to be somewhere else, so I drove here myself.6.Daisy flew to London to __________ .A. live with her auntB. meet EdmondC. visit a friendD. see England7.Before Edmond greeted her, Daisy felt ____________ .A. curiousB. excitedC. relievedD. anxious8.Edmond waited till everyone was gone before greeting Daisy because ____________.A. he was looking for a middle-aged womanB. he had never seen Daisy beforeC. he did not get Daisy’s phone callD. he did not want to talk to a girl before others9.What did Edmond look like in Daisy’ eye?A. An old friend.B. A man with dignity.C. A lost dog.D. An average fourteen-year-old.10.Daisy did not make any comment about Edmond smoking because _____________ .A. she knew all children in England smoke cigarettesB. she thought smoking did harm to one’s healthC. the smoking age in England is about 12D. she did not want to make a fool of herselfP assage 3I don't know why we are here. Ever since we came here, we have been treated badly, and all I have heard since we have been here are people yelling in a language I do not understand, or people screaming as they were separated from love ones.I have been made to lie on this hard, cold table, while strange men have taken away my crutches when I don't come when they call, they beat me repeatedly with a thick stick, and they laugh when I cried out for help. On bare skin it burns so horribly, and I am so covered with bruises and cuts it a wonder I have any skin left! They call me an “undesirable”, and they keep telling me they have plans for me. Whenever I ask what they are going to do, they just laugh and tell me to shut up and to mind my own business.I have had to have my hair shaved off, and I wear ill-fitting clothes; and I also have to go around naked; and with other people looking at me, it makes me very unhappy. It is very cold in these camps, and people have gotten sick; and disease has run rampant. There is typhus about, and I am scared that I will get it next! I have eaten but very little, and what I ate tasted nasty.Life has been very hard for all of us, and every day, I see more and more bodies piling up. It is during these times I could see my mama and papa again, and I wish I were still at home in Warsaw! I wish I were still at my home in my little bed or safe in mama’s arms; still can remember her telling me that she loved me so much, and that I was her angel(天使)!I also remember Papa’s strong arms and his big, booming laugh; but then the War came, and it changed everything; and now I am here, and I don’t know what I may have done to deserve being here at Auschwitz! I am only a little boy who can not walk; and I did not ask to be captured by the Germans or taken to this awful place! I do not ask to be born a Jew, and I certainly do not ask to be bornhandicapped! Now it seems that is exactly am here at this camp, and I am so scared! 11.

国家开放大学学位英语考试复习-人文英语(4)阅读练习及参考答案(学位).docx
学位英语人文(4)阅读练习(1)Television broadcasting started in the United Kingdom in 1936 as a public service free of advertising. Now there is a collection of free and subscription services over a variety of distribution media, through which there arc over 480 channels for consumers as well as on-demand content. There are six main channel owners who are responsible for most viewing. On October 24, 2012, all television broadcasts in the United Kingdom were in a digital format. Digital content is delivered via terrestrial means, satellite and cable as well as over IP.In 1953 the Conservative Government introduced a bill to make arrangements for commercial television. This was coposed very strongly by the Labor and Liberal Parties, but the bill was passed and commercial television now flourishes. The Independent Television Act created an Independent Television Authority, which exercises general supervision.One disadvantage of the present system is that the BBC and Independent Television often both put out programs of the same type at the same time. This forces the viewer to choose between two similar things but not two entirely different forms of entertainment.In the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies, any household watching or recording live television transmissions as they are being broadcast (terrestrial, satellite, cable, or internet) is required to hold a television license. Since April 1,2010 the annual license fee has been £145.50 for color and £49.00 for black and white. Thus, the license fee made up the bulk of the BBCs total income of £5.102 billion in 2012-2013.1.This passage is mainly about.A.the system of British TVB.the broadcasting means of British TVC.the content of British TVD.the development of British TVIn 1936 television broadcasting in the United Kingdom was.A.repetitive tasksB. law firmsC. multi-layered tasksD. "bill by the hour" dealYou don'l need to worry about the time when you talk to the lawyer if you chooseA.the hourly feeB. the blended hourly feeC. the insurance feeD. the contract feeYou have to eye the clock when you talk to the lawyer when you chooseA.legal "insurance"B. the <u bill by the hour" dealC. the flat-fee approachC. the contract feeWhat docs the phrase "in the lone nm” in the last paragraph mean?A.in the meantimeB. in the endC. at some time in the futureD. at some time in the past人文英语4阅读答案(学位)Passage 11-5 D B D DCPassage 21-5 ACADCPassage 31-5 ACDBDPassage 41-5 BACDDPassage 51-5CCBADPassage 61-5BADBCA. a public service with advertisementB. a public service without advertisementC.in a digital formatD.broadcasted via a variety of meansWhat does the word t>opposed,?in Para. 1 mean?A.It means "agreed”.B. It means "demanded”.C. It means "approved”.D. It means "disapproved".3.The commercial television is supervised by.A.the Conservative GovernmentB.the Labor and Liberal PartiesC.The Independent Television ActD.Independent Television AuthorityWhich of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?A.The BBC and Independent Television offer two entirely different forms of entertainment.B.The license fee in 2012-2013 was £5.102 billion.C.Viewers should hold a television license to watch or record live television transmissions.D.AH broadcasting channels are owned by six companies.(2)Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodee security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell Ball Courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men — and almost all men —are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses during the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon — a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football.1.Graffiti painting is traditionally an activity pursued by.A.teenagersB. menC. security guardsD. policeThe incidents of graffiti painting arein British cities in recent years.A.increasingB. confinedC. decliningD. growingWhat docs the word "dodge" in Para.1 mean?A.It means "avoid”.B. It means "welcome".C. It means "get along with".C. It means '"negotiate with".2.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?A.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses.B.Graffiti has disappeared from Britain's cities completely.C.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.D.Because of better policing graffiti decreases.3.Less teenagers are getting into graffiti painting because.A.Graffiti painting is illegal.B.Graffiti painting is confined to sanctioned walls.C.They have shifted their attention to iPads, video games and art school.D.Graffiti painting is a daredevil pursuit.(3)Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective, role and context and, in part because of this, quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years.Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of the crisis on economic growth and prepare for economic recovery.As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: "The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness.w They also rightly emphasized that "A strong research system at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links."This is precisely why Chinese students and academics should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society. And it offers additional benefits even without international links, though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.1. People may look at education and academic quality because of theirbackground.A. differentlyB. indifferentlyC. notoriouslyD. rightlyThis passage may have been written when where was a(n).The World Bank and UNESCO called for governments to encourage. A. actions to prepare for educational evaluationsB. people to view educational quality differentlyC. international links should be set upD. strong national research systems to be set upChinese students and academics are encouraged to make contributions toA. increasing national competitivenessA. educational evaluation C. global economic crisisB. rapid education growthD. economic growthB.improving evaluation systemsC.bringing substantial advantagesD.original and good researchWhich of the following statement is NOT true according to the text?cation quality is hard to evaluate.B.International collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages.C.According to the passage, we should improve international cooperation on research and evaluation.D.The quality of knowledge is becoming less critical to national competitiveness.(4)Charity is a concept which dates back to Biblical times, when helping the poor was something that rich people basically did to make themselves feel good. Social work has its roots in charity, as it originally began around the time of the industrial revolution when there were many poor people and society was seeking a way of dealing with the poor and social problems. Although social work began as charity work, it has expanded a lot and needs to be seen from a completely different perspective.Modern-day social work deals not only with poverty and the subsequent problems, but also with the problems arising from various types of "social fbar" ("social phobias,,) and discrimination such as sexism, racism, and discrimination against an individual due to his age, or mental or physical disabilities. Social workers deal with the consequences of these discriminations as well as consequences that arise from sexual abuse, drug abuse, and various other problems.Social work provides an important service to society. Individuals and families in need of help are the focus of it, and are referred to as clients. Social workers help clients live a productive life in their own community. In order to reach this goal, they often enlist the assistance of family members, relatives, local religious leaders, and other influential members of the community. Although institutionalization may be necessary at times, it is a temporary solution. Social workers usually serve in the front line, and reach out to the clients soon after problems occur. The goal is to help clients return to normal life in a natural setting.1.Which is the best title for the passage?A.History of CharityB.History of Social WorkC.Social Work and Social WorkerD.Social Work and Charity WorkWhat docs refer to in the first paragraph?A. social workB. charityC. rootD. the industrial revolutionWhen did social work begin?A.Biblical timesB. a long time agoC.the industrial revolutionD.modern dayModern-day social work deals with the following problems except.A. povertyB. racismC. drug abuseD. educationWhich statement about social work is NOT true?A.Social work deals with poverty and its subsequent problems.B.Social work arises from charity.C.In order to help clients live a productive life, social workers can turn to the assistance of family members.D.Social work is that the rich people want to help the poor people.(5)Respondent: People's HospitalAddress: No. 1, Binhai Road, Binhai CityThe following answer is given to Zhang Hua's claim fbr personal-injury compensation by the People's Hospital:1.The respondent does not have a direct contractual relationship with Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua had an oral contract to remove the high-voltage meter cabinet with Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company on June 10, 2008. He was assigned by Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company and therefore has no direct contractual relationship with the respondent.2.Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company should be responsible for compensating Zhang Hua fbr the following reasons. Firstly, according to PRC laws and relevant judicial interpretations, Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company shall be responsible for any injury employees suffered in the contract performance. Secondly,Zhang Hua seriously violated the operational procedure in removing the high-voltage meter cabinet and failed to pay due attention thereto.3.The respondent shall not be responsible fbr compensating the injuries of Zhang Hua. According to the General Principles of the Civil Law, any person engaged in highly dangerous operations shall be responsible for compensation. In this case, the respondent entered into a contract with Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company, whereby the source of high danger shifted to Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company. Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company became the subject of the dangerous operation, and therefore any damages caused in the contract performance by Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company have no connection with the respondent.Therefore, People's Hospital is not liable fbr compensating the defendant. We hereby request the court to reject the plaintiffs action according to law.To:Binhai City Intermediate People's CourtRespondent: Binhai People's CourtDate: May 10, 2011The letter is written by.A.Binhai City Intermediate People's CourtB.Binhai People's CourtC.People's HospitalD.Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation CompanyAccording to theplaintiff,should be responsible for compensating ZhangHua.A.Binhai City Intermediate People's CourtB.Binhai People's CourtC.People's HospitalD.Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation CompanyWhat docs the word "oral" in Para. 2 mean?A. writtenB. spokenC. legalD. illegalWhich statement is TRUE according to the text?A.The respondent has a direct contract with Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company.B.The respondent has a direct contract with Zhang Hua.C.Zhang Hua shouldn't bear any responsibility for his injuries.D.People's Hospital should be responsible for Zhang Hua's injuries.1.Zhang Hua's claim wasby the respondent.A. acceptedB. agreedC. defendedD. rejected(6)Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old "bill by the hour" deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.Project billing for routine issuesIf your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.Results-oriented options"Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.Multi-layered tasksIf you're shopping fbr a firm fbr actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an "average" rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter.This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate.Legal Tnsurance”The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the lone mm by engaging in more preventive legal action.1.What is the topic discussed in the text?A.How to pay legal servicesB.Alternatives of better legal billingC.What is legal hillingD.Legal billing structuresA flat-fee approach is suitable for.。

阅读下面的短文,并从A, B, C, D四个选项中选择一个正确的选项,并把答案序号填写在空白处。
Passage 1Identify the country or countries you will be traveling to. It is particularly important to know which countries you are traveling to because it determines where and how you are going to send your application.● If you are intending to visit just one Schengen country, you will need to apply for the Schengen visa directly with the embassy or consulate of that particular country.● If you are intending to visit two or more Schengen countries, your application must be sent to the embassy or consulate of the country that shall be your main destination.● If you are intending to visit several Schengen countries, but do not have a main destination, you should apply for the visa at the embassy or consulate of the first Schengen country on your travel itinerary.Fill out an application form beforehand to obtain a Schengen visa. You can download and print off the form online.Prepare all the requirements for your Schengen visa application. Depending on the consulate or embassy, you are required to show the following documents:● a valid national passport;● evidence showing the purpose of your trip (e.g. international conference);● proof of medical insurance;● a round-trip travel ticket;● proof of funds.Check the processing time to ensure you get your Schengen visa on time. The processing time varies per embassy, so it is important to take the processing time into account when planning your trip.1. The first step to Schengen visa application is to _____.A. decide where to travelB. download the online formC. fill out the application formD. apply for a passport2. If you want to visit two or more Schengen country, you will need to send your application to the embassy or consulate of ______ to apply for the Schengen visa.A. one particular countryB. the country of your main destinationC. any of the Schengen countries on your itineraryD. the last Schengen country on your itinerary3. If you plan to visit several Schengen countries without a main destination, you should send your application to the embassy or consulate of ______ to apply for the Schengen visa.A.one particular countryB. the country that shall be your main destinationC. the first Schengen country on your travel itineraryD. the last Schengen country on your travel itinerary4. Before applying for your Schengen visa application, you need to prepare for ______.A. a valid national passportB. proof of medical insuranceC. bank statementsD. all of the above5. T he underlined word “varies” in the last paragraph is c losest in meaning to “______”.A. differencesB. differsC. valuesD. variousPassage 2The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. And wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special.When customers get to a store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don't usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. Customers usually don't have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked.When customers are ready to check out, they can go to the nearest and shortest Checkout lane. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lineups get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm "thank you and have a nice day" from the clerk.In America, customer service continues long after the sale. Many products come with a money-back guarantee. Expensive items like cars, computers or stereo often have a warranty that ensures trouble-free use for a period of a year or more. Advertisements regularly include the motto, "Your satisfaction is guaranteed." So if there is a problem with the product, customers can take it back. The customer service representative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund.Customer service in America grows out of the belief that "the customer is always right". If a person receives poor service from a store, he probably will avoid shopping there in the future. On the other hand, customers often remain loyal to a business that has excellent service even if their prices are higher.1. Customer service in America is based on the idea that “______”.A. each customer is the center of attentionB. every customer is specialC. your satisfaction is guaranteedD. the customer is always right2. When entering a store, customers _______.A. ask the prices of the itemsB. are greeted warmlyC. begin to look for the clerksD. often see the clerks playing cards3. When they are ready to pay for purchases, customers ______.A. always have to wait for a long queueB. never go to a new checkout laneC. sometimes can go to an express lane if they have bought a lot of itemsD. don’t need to go to the checkout lane4. Customer service continues ______.A. long before the saleB. long after the saleC. until customers leave the storeD. if the prices of purchases are higher5. T he underlined word “loyal” in the last paragraph is c losest in meaning to “______”.A. devotedB. lawfulC. likelyD. jointPassage 3Team spirit can make or break a team. Teammates who have team spirit are better able to work together and achieve team goals. They are also more satisfied with their team activities.John Wooden, a former basketball coach at UCLA, said, “Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.” There are certain skills team members develop that serve as good examples of team spirit.CooperationCooperating is simply working together as teammates for the good of the team. Cooperation is a skill that team members can sharpen during practice. For example, basketball players must practice passing the ball in different plays and situations. Team efficiency is directly related to the cooperation of its members. Acting cooperatively is a good way to show team spirit because doing so contributes to the overall success of the team.MotivationTeam members must fulfil their duties with their full efforts. Staying motivated shows team spirit because it shows that you want the team to do well. This includes being motivated to give your best in practice and in competition, as well as outside of team activities. For example, a baseball player can show team spirit by being motivated to practice his swing outside of practice.RespectRespect for your fellow team members is a must. You can show respect to your teammates by treating everyone fairly and equally. Teammates also respect each other by allowing everyone to participate. Respecting fellow teammates keeps everyone in a good mood and encourages overall team spirit. For example, people can show team spirit through respect by encouraging other team members who might be struggling.1. John Wooden was a ______.A. baseball playerB. baseball trainerC. basketball playerD. basketball trainer2. If you a team member with team spirit, you _____.A. are able to control the teamB. are willing to consider the good of the team at the cost of your personal benefitC. may lack motivationD. may show no respect to your teammates3.

It shows the company's assets and liabilities at that point in time.There are two halves to a balance sheet. The top half shows where the money is being used in the business (the net assets), and the bottom half shows where this money came from (the capital employed). The total of each half should be the same, hence the expression balance sheet.There are two kinds of assets—long-term and short-term. The long-term assets are known as fixed assets, and include the land, buildings, machinery and vehicles that are used in connection with the business. All fixed assets except land are depreciated as they wear out over time. The total fixed assets are the value of the fixed assets, less the accumulated depreciation.The short-term assets are known as current assets, and include cash, stocks and receivables that are due within one year.The top half of the balance sheet also includes liabilities, that is, all debts and obligations owed by the business to creditors. Current liabilities are those debts that must be paid within the year, such as wages earned but not yet paid. Long-term liabilities may include mortgages and other loans that will not have been paid off within the year.The top half of the balance sheet therefore consists of the total of fixed and current assets, less the current and long-term liabilities, giving the net assets.The bottom half of the balance sheet shows where this money came from. For a limited company, this will include the money raised by issuing shares, and is known as the share capital. The business may also have plowed some of the money back into building up the business. This is called retained profit.The bottom half of the balance sheet therefore consists of the total of share capital and retained profits, giving the capital employed.1. At the end of a company's financial year, the balance sheet shows the company’s ______.A. long-term and short-term liabilitiesB. long-term and short-term assetsC. assets and liabilitiesD. share capital and retained profit2.

All debts and obligations owed to creditors are included in ______.A. the top half of the balance sheetB. the bottom half of the balance sheetC. current liabilities of the businessD. the capital of the limited company5. What is reinvested in building up the business is called ______.A. the liabilitiesB. current assetsC. share capitalD. retained profitPassage 5Chinese shoppers spent billions online yesterday as they took advantage of discounts offered on Singles' Day (November 11). It is a festival for young single people to celebrate by eating together, sending gifts or going shopping, thus seized on by online retailers to increase sales.It took only 13 hours for sales on just two online sites, Taobao and Tmall, to fly past last year's overall total of 19.1 billion yuan (US$3.1 billion). The final figure of Singles' Day reached an astonishing 35.02 billion yuan as hundreds of thousands of consumers rushed to buy clothes, furniture, and home decoration items at discount prices. What friends and colleagues greeted each other with that day was “Bought anything today?” as they exchanged tales of bargains or disappointing news of popular items sold out minutes after the spree began at midnight.In under nine hours, turnover at the Alibaba Group's Tmall and Taobao sites had exceeded that of last year's Cyber Monday, a similar event in the United States. “We hope other e-commerce sites also did a good job as we want Singles' Day to be a holiday for consumers and a good chance for retailers to discover the unmet needs of shoppers,” Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, told reporters.“It's not a difficult thing to bring our total transaction size to 100 billion yuan in a couple of years but we hope to do more to help vendors and manufacturers to upgrade their products and service to reach more clients,” Ma said at a news briefing.1. Which of the following ways is not mentioned that s ingle people celebrated Singles’ Day?A. Going to the cinema.B. Sending gifts.C. Going shopping.D. Eating together.2. What did the consumers spend their money on?A. Discount clothes, furniture, and home decoration items.B. Bargains.C. Popular items.D. All of the above.3. When did the shopping spree happen?A. At midday.B. At 12 p.m.C. At 12 a.m.D. At night.4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “exceeded”in Paragraph 3?A. excelledB. taken placeC. extremeD. gone past5. What can be inferred from what Jack Ma said?A. Singles’ Day is an only holiday for consumers.B. Singles’ Day is a good chance for shoppers to discover the unmet needs of retailers.C. Sellers will make more profits if they improve their products and service.D. Other e-commerce sites also did a good job.Passage 6The Royal Swedish academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to three Americans, Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller on Oct. 14, 2013. Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago. Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University. They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars.“This year's prize in economic sciences is about predictions.” All three of this year's prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financialmarkets. They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets.Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing. His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient, which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time. This also means that over short periods of time, it is not possible to predict prices.Robert Shiller found, however, that over long periods, the opposite is true. It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior.The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds, investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk. Mr. Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home prices index. That index follows home prices across the United States.Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information. His method supports Mr. Shiller's findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry.The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel, but was established in his memory by Sweden's central bank in 1968.1. The Nobel Prize in economics was established in the honor of ______ in 1968.A. Eugene FamaB. Lars Peter HansenC. Robert ShillerD. Alfred Nobel2.Each of the American university professors was awarded the prize worth about ______.A. 0.3 million dollarsB. 0.4 million dollarsC. 1.0 million dollarsD. 1.2 billion dollars3. ______ works at Yale University.A. Eugene FamaB. Eugene Fama and Lars Peter HansenC. Robert ShillerD. Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller4. They won the Nobel Prize for their contributions to ______.A. financial marketsB. predictions about prices in the financial industryC. ideas of investmentD. the growth of index funds5. An approach to studying historical pricing information was created by ______.A. Lars Peter HansenB. Eugene Fama and Lars Peter HansenC. Eugene FamaD.

But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem-how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildings-theaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called "heat recovery." A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others. Along the way, pit has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. (76) Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hardworking, overweight male genius. 1. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it ______. A. was difficult to collect B. came in a variety of forms C. was difficult to get rid of D. tended to be absorbed by physical objects 答案:C 答案是开头的第⼆句:The usual problem is how to dispose of it.Dispose of“处理解决”。
