2023年广东省成人学位英语考试试题答案及详解

2023年广东省成人高等教育学士学位英语水平考试试题答案及详解Part I Dialogue Completion (15 points)1. 【参考答案】B【答案详解】本题考察朋友间的对话场景。

当问到“难道不觉得……”这样的问题时，觉得是就回答Y es, I do，觉得不是就回答No, I don’ t。

A的回答前面是否认，后面是肯定，不相应。

C的意思是“不，我不这么认为”，与后面的半句不相符。

D没有回答前面的问题。

因此，只有B正面回答了前面的问题，说看起来不错。

【参考译文】Joanna: 你不觉得我这样搭配挺好的吗？George: 是的，看起来不错。

并且跟你的围巾也很配。

2. 【参考答案】A【答案详解】本题考査表达歉意的对话。

当事人很不好意思地道歉的时候，应当尽力安慰别人，表达没有关系，A选项就很好地表达了这个意思。

B选项前面的No有些多余，C说“历来没有听说过”与句意不符。

【参考译文】Kevin: 恐怕我把墨水撒到桌布上了。

Tommy: 噢，没关系的。

3. 【参考答案】A【答案详解】本题考査拒绝别人邀请的对话。

当别人提出邀请的时候，假如你拒绝了，后面最佳给出拒绝的理由。

A说正在戒烟，是很好的理由。

其他的选项都是接受后的回答。

【参考译文】Ben: 来根香烟吧！Carol: 不用了，谢谢！我正在试着戒烟。

4. 【参考答案】C【答案详解】本题考査给别人提供征询服务时的礼貌用语。

当有顾客问到还能不能买到票的时候，从后面半句的only if看肯定是没有票了，所以应当委婉地说“恐怕不行了”。

其他的几个回答都是还能买到票的回答，与后半句不相符。

【参考译文】Mark: 我还能买到今晚表演的票吗？Linn: 恐怕不行了。

除非有人把票取消了。

5. 【参考答案】D【答案详解】本题考査询问邮寄东西的对话场景。

被问到邮寄费的时候，要仔细地核对包裹，选项B显得太过于不专业，A也没有直接回答问题，C说“去吧！”也没有礼貌地回复顾客，只有D是立即给顾客进行核査，并礼貌地问尚有没有其他包裹，因此答案选D。

The “c” in “communicate” is not hard, as it does not precede a double vowel.4、Which of the following words has the correct pronunciation?A. “Environment” - /ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmeɪnt/B. “Education” - /ˌɛdʒuˈkeɪʃən/C. “Imagine” - /ɪˈmædʒɪneɪt/D. “Compass” - /kəˈmæpəs/Answer: BExplanation: The correct pronunciation of “education” is /ˌɛdʒuˈkeɪʃən/.

The other options have mispronounced vowels or consonants.5、The sentence “She always has a smile on her face” emphasizes that sheis always __________.A. cheerfulC. nervousD. sadAnswer: A. cheerfulExplanation: The word “always” in the sentence indicates a constant state or behavior. The phrase “has a smile on her face” suggests that she is in a good mood or happy, which is best described by the word “cheerful.” The other options do not accurately capture the positive connotation of the sentence.二、词汇与语法知识（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence below.The_______of the meeting was quite impressive.A. atmosphereB. audienceC. attendanceD. occasionAnswer: CExplanation: The correct answer is “attendance” because it refers to the number of people who were present at the meeting. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.2、Select the word that does not belong in the following list.A. enthusiasticC. exhaustedD. alertAnswer: CExplanation: The word “exhausted” does not belong in the list because it is an adjective that describes someone who is very tired, whereas “enthusiastic,” “energetic,” and “alert” all describe someone who is full of energy or has a positive, watchful attitude.3、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher___________the students to be quiet during the examination.A. requestedB. suggestedC. orderedD. recommendedAnswer: C. orderedExplanation: The correct choice is “ordered” because it indicates a direct command or instruction from the teacher. The other options, while they could be used in some contexts, do not convey the same level of authority or necessity as “ordered” does in this sentence.4、Complete the sentence using the correct form of the verb in parentheses.If you________(be) more careful, you would not have made so many mistakes.A. areB. wereC. will beD. had beenAnswer: B. wereExplanation: The correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is “were,” which i s the past subjunctive form of “to be.” The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation, which is a situation that is not real but is being considered for the sake of argument. The past subjunctive is used to describea condition that is not true but could have been or would have been.5、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The professor___________the students’ questions eagerly.A. ignoredB. addressedC. neglectedD. overlookedAnswer: B. addressedExplanation: The correct word to complet e the sentence is “addressed,” which means to speak to or write to someone formally or officially. The professor is expected to address the students’ questions, not ignore, neglect, or overlook them.6、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb in parentheses.They___________(be) discussing the project when the meeting was called toorder.A. wereB. had beenC. have beenD. isAnswer: A. wereExplanation: The correct form of the verb is “were,” which is the past continuous tense. The sentence describes an action that was happening at a specific past time (when the meeting was called to order), so the past continuous tense is appropriate. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the context or the tense required.7、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The teacher was surprised by the student’s_ability to understand complex concepts.A)surpriseB)surprisedC)surprisingD)surpriseablyAnswer: C) surprisingExplanation: The correct answer is “surprising” because it is the adjective form that describes the student’s ability. “Surprise” is a noun, “surprised” is the past participle form of the verb, and “surpriseably” is not a word.8、Complete the sentence with the correct form of the given verb in brackets.They (be) (not) aware of the changes that (take) place in the company last month.A)wereB)areC)wasD)beAnswer: A) wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the subject “they” is plural, and the past perfect tense “had taken” indicates that the cha nges occurred before the awareness of them. Therefore, “were” is the correct past tense form of “be.”9.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.I can’t believe how____________changes have occurred in this small town over the past decade.A)numerousB)rapidC)suddenD)gradualAnswer: D) gradualExplanation: The sentence is describing changes that have occurred over a period of time, suggesting a process that was not immediate or extreme. “Gradual” fits this context best, indicating changes that happen slowly over time.10.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence.The professor___________us a detailed outline of the research project before the deadline.A)gaveB)has givenC)will giveD)is givingAnswer: B) has givenExplanation: The sentence implies that the action of giving the outline has already occurred before the deadline.

The other options do not convey the same sense of worry or anxiety.12.Select the word that is closest in meaning to the underlined word:The teacher’s_appr oach to teaching made the subject much more engaging.A)traditionalB)innovativeC)passiveD)objectiveAnswer: B) innovativeExplanation: The underlined word “innovative” means introducing new methods or ideas. The sentence suggests that the teacher’s approach was different and made the subject more engaging. The word “traditional” would imply a more conventional method, “passive” would suggest a lack of interest, and “objective” would imply a neutral approach, none of which fit the context as well as “innovative.”13.Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The company’s new policy has been widely __________, with both positive and negative reactions.A. criticizedB. implementedC. supportedD. rejectedAnswer: B. implementedExplanation: The correct word here should reflect that the policy has been put into effect. “Implemented” means to carry out or put into effect, which fits the context. “Criticized” would imply there are negative reactions,“supported” would imply positive reactions, and “rejected” wo uld imply outright refusal, none of which fully capture the act of the policy being put into practice.14.Select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.She_______(go) to the market every morning, but now she has a car.A. used to goB. uses to goC. used goD. uses goAnswer: A. used to goExplanation: The correct phrase to use in this context is “used to” followed by the base form of the verb, which indicates a past habit or practice that has since changed. “Used to go” is the correc t past simple form that indicates a habit in the past. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.15.Choose the correct word or phrase to complete the sentence.The professor___________the students to study hard for the exam.A. advisedB. recommendedC. suggestedD. proposedAnswer: B. recommendedExplanation: The correct answer is “recommended” because it is the most appropriate word to express the professor’s advice. “Advised,” “suggested,” and “proposed” can also mean giving advice or suggestions, but “recommended”is often used in a more formal context, such as in an academic setting.三、完形填空（30分）Passage:In the small town of Willow Creek, there was once a charming old library that stood at the heart of the community.

Social media platforms have become an integral part of daily life,allowing individuals to connect with others across the globe. However, this shift in communication has raised concerns about the impact on face-to-face interactions and the potential loss of traditional social skills.One of the most popular social media platforms is Instagram, which is known for its focus on visual content. Users can share photos, videos, and stories, and follow others who share similar interests. While Instagram can be a great way to stay connected with friends and discover new things, it also has its downsides.A recent study found that excessive use of Instagram can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. The constant comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives can create a sense of inadequacy. Additionally, the platform’s algorithm can create a filter bubble, where users are only exposed to content that aligns with their existing beliefs and interests, thus limiting their exposure to diverse perspectives.Despite these concerns, many people find Instagram to be a valuable tool for networking and personal growth. It can provide a platform for artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to showcase their work and connect with potential audiences. Moreover, it can be a source of inspiration and motivation, as users are exposed to the achievements and stories of others.Questions:1、What is the main topic of the passage?A) The benefits of using social media platforms.B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.C) The history of social media platforms.D) The role of technology in modern communication.2、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential negative effect of using Instagram?A) Feelings of inadequacy.B) Limited exposure to diverse perspectives.C) Improved communication skills.D) Increased feelings of loneliness and depression.3、What is the author’s attitude towards Instagram?A) Highly critical.B) Indifferent.C) Positive and supportive.D) Ambiguous.Answers:1、B) The negative effects of Instagram on social interactions.2、C) Improved communication skills.3、D) Ambiguous.第三题Reading Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, there was a long-standing tradition of the annual Greenfield Festival.

Customers can shop from the comfort of their own homes at any time of the day or night. This eliminates the need to travel to physical stores and wait in long queues. Additionally, online platforms often provide detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and even virtual try-ons, which can help customers make more informed purchasing decisions.Despite these benefits, e-commerce has also presented challenges fortraditional retailers. Many have had to adapt to the changing landscape by investing in their online presence and offering competitive pricing and customer service. However, some have struggled to keep up and have been forced to close their doors.The retail industry is also witnessing a shift in consumer behavior. Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and are increasingly looking for sustainable and ethical products.

This shift is primarily due to the convenience and flexibility it offers to students. Online courses allow individuals to learn at their own pace, from any location, and often at a lower cost compared to traditional in-person classes. However, despite these advantages, online learning also comes with its own set of challenges.One of the main concerns is the potential for reduced social interaction. In traditional classrooms, students have the opportunity to engage with their peers and professors, which can enhance their learning experience. Online students, on the other hand, may feel isolated and disconnected from the academic community. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in the course material.Another challenge is the need for self-discipline. Online courses require students to be self-motivated and organized. Without the structure of a traditional classroom, students must set their own schedules and manage their time effectively. This can be difficult for some individuals, especially thosewho are accustomed to the routine of attending classes on campus.Despite these challenges, many online learners find that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. They appreciate the ability to work around their other commitments, such as full-time jobs or family responsibilities. Additionally, online courses often provide access to a wider range of resources and expertise than traditional courses.1.The primary reason for the growing interest in online education is:a) the opportunity for social interactionb) the flexibility and convenience it offersc) the lower cost compared to traditional in-person classesd) the access to a wider range of resources2.What is one of the main concerns mentioned about online learning?a) The convenience of learning at one’s own paceb) The potential for reduced social interactionc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The increased access to expertise3.According to the passage, which of the following is a challenge for online learners?a) The ease of engaging with peers and professorsb) The need for self-discipline and organizationc) The lower cost of online coursesd) The ability to work around other commitmentsAnswers:1.b) the flexibility and convenience it offers2.b) The potential for reduced social interaction3.b) The need for self-discipline and organization五、补全对话（本大题有5小题，每小题3分，共15分）第一题A: Excuse me, could you help me with some English vocabulary?B: Sure, I’d be happy to.

For example, the whale shark is a filter-feeder.This means that it eats tiny shrimp-like creatures which it filters from the water as it swims. Whale sharks move slowly but continuously through the water, scooping up plankton as small fish scatter around them.Whale sharks are spotted with white or pale yellow spots, and young whale sharks have bright yellow stripes running along their bodies. It is believed that whale sharks have existed for more than 60 million years, which makes them one of the oldest creatures on Earth. Another interesting fact about whale sharks is their ability to live for a long time. Some whale sharks have been known to live as long as 100 years.1. How long can whale sharks grow Ａ．Up to 25 meters Ｂ．Up to 12 meters Ｂ．Up to 65 meters Ｄ．Up to 36 meters2.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试侣败床暑睡缆赐幻蝎耻伊汹密徊佣帽彩找颇类券果才衬前馅咨态婆低韵仗史秽砰腥2014年11月Part 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc（锌）Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee，has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It’s a good business for Jarden-since 2000，the company has earned more than﹩800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2￠to produce a 1￠coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same?Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given﹩1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group’s mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC’s executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities(慈善机构)that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don’t seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny’s days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1、what is the main idea of the passage?A. Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B. These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C. There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D. Many countries have stopped using pennies.2、The mission of ACC is to _______.A. conduct online surveysB. lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD. keep the penny in use3、The penny coin is mainly made of＿＿＿＿A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4、What does the sentence “the penny’s days may be numbered” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．The penny may be out of use very soon.B．The value of the penny may rise.C．The penny has a special place in American history.D．The penny is part of American culture.5、According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A．Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B．The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C．Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth，England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood.

By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud.

He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的). Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place.

Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee.from them.

For each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage. Banks are ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it cannot pay off its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all the accounts. However, if they did notall appear at once, then there would always be funds to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks anticipated a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough funds in hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. Next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. Clothing was torn and limbs were broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic atmosphere is evident in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, nevertheless withdrew the funds in their own accounts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restraining herself from doing the same.41. A bank run occurs when __________.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money atone timeC. there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD. employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank42. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to __________.A. explain why they could not pay out all depositsB. pay out deposits as requestedC. assure customers that the bank was soundD. pay out money as slowly as possible43. The essential cause of a run on a bank is __________.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of sufficient fundsC. crowds of peopleD. inefficient tellers44. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many withdrawals would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.45. According to the passage, the actions of the customers of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were influenced chiefly by the __________.A. ease with which they could obtain their moneyB. confidence demonstrated by other customers of the bankC. confidence that Mrs. Vaught demonstratedD. failure of several other banks to openPassage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Gravity holds us so dose to the Earth's surface that nobody can jump more than a few feet into the air without the force of gravity pulling him down. It takes a powerful engine to keep an airplane up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards as hard as you can, you will notice that it travels in a curved path before it comes back to the ground. If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, instead of traveling in a curve, would move away in a straight line; in fact, it would never come back to the ground. If the Earth were to lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly off it as it spins round in space. The Earth has a strong pull, but modem rockets going out into space are able to escape from the gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball thrown into the air, the height reached by the ball depends upon how hard it is thrown. The greater the starting-speed, the higher the ball will go. If it could be thrown so that it traveled fast enough, the ball would escape into space and never come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast at this, but powerful rocket engines can send spaceships away from the Earth at sucha speed that the Earth's gravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send rockets to the Moon.46. Gravity holds us dose the Earth's surface, and as a result, __________.A. we can lift ourselves no more than a few feet above the EarthB. nobody can jump a few feet into the airC. no one will be pulled downD. any one of us can Jump as high as expected47. What would happen to a ball thrown upwards if there were no gravity?A. It would spin round in space.B. It would fly off into spaceC. It would fall into a curved path.D. It would move towards the Earth.48. The ball thrown into the air would never come back to the ground __________.A. without such a powerful horizontal pushB. if it were thrown upwards as hard as you canC. should it travel in a curved pathD. were it not for gravity49. The height the ball will reach depends on __________.A. the escapevelocity B. the limiting velocityC. its startingvelocity D. its traveling speed50. What is it that makes it possible to put a spaceship into orbit?A. the Earth'sgravity B. a strong pullC. a powerfulengine D. the powerful rocket enginePassage ThreeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. Does a bee know what is going on its mind when it navigates its way to distant food sources and back to the hive, using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it carries as an aid? Or is the bee just a machine? (Unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way to use Donald Griffin’s term) Does a bee have “awareness”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine?There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and more recently confirmed by James Gould at Princeton, biologists who wish to study such things as bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive. Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the geologists shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Bee Hive: Nature’s Candy ShopB. Testing the Awareness of BeesC. Navigational Techniques of Birds and InsectsD. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate52. In the second paragraph why is Karl Von Frisch mentioned?A. To introduce his observation on bee behavior.B. To contrast his theories with those of James Gould.C. To give credit to his description of the bee hive.D. To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate.53. According to the author, why was sugar used in the study?A. To keep the bees nourished and healthy during the experiment.B. To train the bees to travel to a particular place.C. To reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.D. To ensure that the bees did not sting the scientists.54. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate which of the following?A. Research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.B. Bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet of their hive.C. Scientists can teach bees to speak to people.D. Bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.55. Which of the following best describes the format of the passage?A. a response to criticismB. a comparison of two competing theoriesC. a question followed by a possible answerD. a position supported by scientific debateSection 2Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (A) or false (B). Then blacken the corresponding letter（A or B）on the Answer Sheet. (对的在答题卡上划A, 错的在答题卡上划B)Passage FourQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Mrs. Green gave her husband her letters to post when he was going to work. But sometimes Mr. Green forgot to do so and kept them in his pocket for days. One fine morning in March, Mrs. Green asked him to post a letter. “Please post this letter and don’t forget,’ she said. Mr. Green put the letter in his pocket and said, “I am sure to post this one.” Mrs. Green smiled and said, “Yes, I believe that you will this time.” Mrs. Green looked at his back, and was still smiling when she closed the door. Mr. Green walked slowly along the street. Soon a man came up from behind him. When he walked by, the man looked back and smiled, “Don’t forget to post the letter!” Then a girl walked by, and she turned and smiled, too. “Don’t forget to post that letter!” she said. Mr. Green said to himself,“Why are these people smiling at me? And how do they know I have a letter to post?” At last he came to a post office, posted the letter, and walked on. But after a while, a boy came up from behind him and asked him, “Did you post your letter?”“Yes, I did,” said Mr. Green.“Then I can take off this paper,” said the boy. He took a large piece of paper from the back of Mr. Green’s coat and showed it to him. On the paper were these words –“Ask him to post the letter.”( ) 56. Mrs. Green asked her husband to post her letters on his way home.( ) 57. Mr. Green sometimes forgot to post the letters immediately.( ) 58. Many people in the street knew Mr. Green.( ) 59. Mr. Green had his wife put the large piece of paper on his back.( ) 60. The paper on his back was a good hint to help Mr. Green remember to postthe letter.Paper Two(60 minutes)Part IV. Short Answer Questions (10 points; 15 minutes)Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.) Write your answers on the Answer Sheet of Paper Two. （请将此部分的答案写在试卷二的答题纸上）Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. Thank—you cards seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human contact．Although our society has changed greatly over the past century，the etiquette (礼节) of thank-you notes has not． While most people would agree that thank-you notes are a necessity，there are still those who forever delay or are forgetful for unknown reasons．And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more obvious (or lacking) than June．The month of brides and graduations，and the beginning of summer parties．“It’s a must-do thing．A real thank-you does not come by e-mail．They come in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to pass around for everyone to read，”said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige．Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes-anyhandwritten letters，for that matter-have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity (尊严) inthis e-hyper (超电子) world．Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (复兴)．More than simply obeying rules of etiquette，thank-you cards are a sign of caring．“They’re more important now than ever，”expert Peter Post says．“You’re building a relationship．And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge (表示谢意) when someone has done something nice for you．’’ The payoff (回报)，Post says，can be huge．“It perpetuates (延续)，”he says．“The more we do it，the more it comes back to us，and it’s a benefit to us a11．It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in.”61.

The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. Farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.A 41. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U. S. Farms in 1870?A. Animals.B. HumansC. Engines.D. WaterB 42. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of newtechnological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B.

What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought by technological innovations.A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed ny themD.

A friend of hers, who was a year older, was at art college, and she suggested to Polly that she join her there.Polly’s parents were saving money to buy their house, and they had hoped that Polly wouldstart earning too as soon as she left school, so when she told them she wanted to go to art college, she wished them to disagree. But in fact they didn’t say "no"."You’ll have to find some kind of job to pay for your college," Polly’s mother told her. "Your father and I will be happy to keep you at home, but we have no money for your college courses, and none for paints and all the other things you need.""Thank y ou very much," Polly answered. "There’s no problem about getting a job; the head of the art college has offered me one in their library."After a few months, Polly’s parents really felt very happy when she brought home some of the things she had painted, for which she had received high praise from her teachers.One day Polly said to her parents, " Why don’t you come to a museum with me? I can tell you all about the paintings and you can see the kinds of things I’m trying to do myself."Her parents wai ted until one Saturday when her father didn’t have to work, and then they all went off to the museum that Polly had chosen.She showed her parents some famous paintings, and then they came to one. "This," Polly said, pointing to it, is Van Gogh’s Sunflower s."What cheek (厚脸皮)!" Her father answered. " He’s copied the picture we’ve had in our hall for the last ten years!"A 46.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 51 through 55For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical (热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time-perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels only built in the last 25 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head(金刚山) which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.B 51. Hawaii is a name .A. given by people who like to travelB. attracting a lot of travelersC. with an interesting story behind itD. talked about by both the Japanese and AmericansC 52. The most magic thing on these beautiful islands is .A. the tropical plantsB. a leisurely walk along the beachC. the sunsetD. the quiet waterC 53. does not belong to “the original beauty of Hawaii.”A. White sand beachesB. Waving palm treesC. Tall hotelsD. The Diamond Head MountainB 54. The last paragraph suggests .A. the scenery nowadays is different from the original beautyB. it is not quite easy to see the original beauty, because some of the scenery almost hiddenby tall hotelsC. the scenery nowadays is unchangedD. it is difficult to see the original beauty because things have completely changed in thelast 25 yearsC 55. The best topic of the passage is .A. IslandsB. Hawaii, A Magic NameC. Traveling in HawaiiD. The Dramatic BeautyTask 4Directions: This task is the same as Task 3. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 56 through 60.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”---that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background ,and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance (轻蔑地) at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty (充想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同) throughout American popular Culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV.Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “1ive happily ever after.”But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations-as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family（小家庭）.D 56. Romantic love is less frequently found in many nonindustrial societies because people inthese societies ___________.A. firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB.fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC. fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choiceof partnerD. have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whomA 57. The word eligible (in Line 6, Para. 1), could best be replaced by ________.A. qualifiedB. availableC. chosenD. influentialB 58. According to the passage, most Americans ___________.A. expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB. regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC. look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD. consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the worldC 59. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A. It is a common occurrence among the old.B. It is primarily depicted by books.C. It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D. It is rejected as flighty and irrational.C 60. The author seems to believe that _________.A. romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB. only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC. much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage.D. romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family三、Writing (20 %)1. 以《网上购物》（Online Shopping）为题，写一篇不少于100字的作文。
