He had not legs butstumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at himand called him “Ape Man”(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good andhe needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of theusual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in oneof the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been movingaround on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even thestumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon haveto use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor saidthere was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as hehas always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By thistime he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. Therewere times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himselfup and went back to the endless marching. He went out on thestreet. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boatand learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job.

The race ended for Momandand his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way oflife.

There are 5 tasks for youto fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the task asyou are instructed.Task 1Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps (残肢)that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him withcruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man”(猿人)because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he neededonly eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.36.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story ofsomeone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones”is a very common name in the Untie States. “Keep up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.41.

According to the writer, it is _____ to keep up with the Joneses.A. correctB. interestingC. impossibleD. goodTask 3Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) briefly.Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the “dry pack”method. The second way is the “wet pack” method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again. There is a danger of food poisoning if food is frozen more than once.Task 4Directions: The following is a list of airport terms.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions31to35are based on the following passage: Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business”is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits.Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B.Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C.More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D.Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C.They are set up by very rich individuals.D.They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B.Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C.Some people donate money for practical purposes.D.The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions36to40are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear.They won’t.If you do n’t invest some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking. What we are telling you is that life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whether you should stay in it or leave—it’s important that you take some time now to make itclear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36. To make a decision about whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships quicker,people should ________.A.leave the problems until they heal themselves or disappearB.head out looking for the new love of his /her lifeC.seek expert’s advice and not make a quick decisionD.have a clear understanding of the state of their relationships37. What does the word “incredible” (Para.2) probably mean in the passage?A. Marvelous.B.Impossible.C. Unusual.D. Unnecessary.38. According to the passage, if one person is not willing to live without love, passion, tenderness and so on, he must________.A.leave the current relationshipB.take an honest look at his situationC.spend time experiencing an incredible relationshipD.take the first step to create that kind of relationship39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.If one starts to wonder about the current relationship,it is time to end it.B.Making the decision about one’s relationship needs careful insight.C.A relationship that brings you pain is not necessarily a bad one.D.Life is too short for people to find true love.40. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A.persuade people to find a better relationshipB.ask people to invest quality time in their relationshipsC.give people some advice on how to stay in or leave theirrelationshipsD. advise people how to have a relationship with love,passion and so onSection BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany,Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card”foreign workers have been imported,but this practice is still uncommon.The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. T oo many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition.Another danger is ignoring culture shock.That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41.What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42.What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43.What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44.What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45.What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

齐鲁工业大学2021-2022学年第一学期《大学英语》期末测试题满分100分，考试时间120分钟。
班级姓名分数I.CAREFUL READINGRead the following passages carefully.Decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points,2points each)Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage.The average population density of the world is47persons per square mile.Continental densities range from no permanent inhabitants in Antarctica to211per square mile in Europe.In the western hemisphere,population densities range from4per square mile in Canada to675per square mile in Puerto Rico.In Europe the range is from4per square mile in Iceland to831per square mile in the Netherlands.Within countries there are wide variations of population densities.For example，in Egypt，the average is55persons per square mile,but1,300persons inhabit each square mile in settled portions where the land is arable(可耕种的).High population densities generally occur in regions of developed industrialization,such as the Netherlands,Belgium, and Great Britain,or where lands are intensively used for agriculture,as in Puerto Rico and Java.Low average population densities，which are characteristic of most underdeveloped countries,are generally associated with a relatively low percentage of cultivated land.This generally results from poor quality lands.It may also be due to natural obstacles to cultivation,such as deserts,mountains or malaria-infested jungles;to land uses other than cultivation,as pasture and forested land;to primitive methods that limit cultivation;to social obstacles;and to land ownership systems which keep land out of production.More economically advanced countries of low population density have,as a rule,large proportions of their populations living in urban areas.Their rural population densities are usually very low.Poorer developed countries of correspondingly low general population density,on the other hand,often have a concentration of rural population living on arable land,which is as great as the rural concentration found in the most densely populated industrial countries.1.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.World PopulationB.Population DensitiesC.Population MigrationD.Economics and Population2.In the cultivated areas of Egypt,we may expect to find_____.A.few inhabitantsB.densely populated settlementsC.l,300persons living in one settlementD.55persons inhabiting one square mile3.The most densely populated community in Europe is_____.A.IcelandB.BelgiumC.the NetherlandsD.Great Britain4.This passage indicates that Puerto Rico is_____.A.agriculture-orientedB.malaria-infestedC.highly industrializedD.poverty-stricken5.This passage has probably been taken from a/an_____.A.tourist guideB.business journalC.world geography bookD.economic reportPassage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage.Engaging in a hobby like reading a book,making a patchwork quilt or even playing computer games can delay the onset of dementia,a US study suggests.Watching TV,however,does not count—and indeed,spending significant periods of time in front of the box may speed up memory loss,researchers found.Nearly200people aged70to89with mild memory problems were compared with a group who had no impairment.The researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota asked the volunteers about their daily activities within the past year and how mentally active they had been between the age of50 to65.Those who had?during middle age,been busy reading,playing games or engaging in craft hobbies like patchworking or knitting were found to have a40%reduced risk of memory impairment.In later life，those same activities reduced the risk by a rate between30%and50%.Those who watched TV for less than7hours a day were also50%less likely to develop memory loss than those who spend longer staring at the screen.“This study is exciting because it demonstrates that ageing does not need to be a passive process，”said neuroscientist Dr.Yonas Geda.“By simply engaging in cognitive exercise,you can protect against future memory loss.Of course,the challenge with this type of research is that we are relying on past memories of the subjects(实验对象)，therefore we need to confirm these findings with additional research.”Sarah Day，head of public health at the Alzheimer’s Society，said，“One million people will develop dementia in the next10years so there is a desperate need to find ways to prevent dementia.Exercising and challenging your brain~by learning new skills,doing puzzles such as crosswords,and even learning a new language—can be fun.However,more research,where people are followed up over time,is needed to understand whether these sorts of activities can reduce the risk of dementia.”6.If one suffers from dementia,he would be unable to_____.A.move his limbsB.speak correctlyC.recall past eventsD.sit in upright posture7.The subjects of the research mentioned in the passage were_____.A.people watching TV programs several hours a dayB.the middle-aged with lots of daily mental activitiesC.people actively engaged in their hobbies at an early ageD.two groups of seniors either with or without memory problems8.It was found in the research that_____.A.cognitive exercise helps people prevent future memory lossB.cure for dementia will soon be available in10years or soC.mentally challenging hobbies usually lead to mental fatigueD.nothing can deter the gradual loss of memory9.The research was based on the data of the_____.A.brain makeup of the subjectsB.past memories of the subjectses of language of the subjectsD.physical exercises of the subjects10.More research should be conducted in which.A.people of different age groups should be investigatedB.the relationship between dementia and genes will be investigatedC.more subjects will be included so as to verify the current findingsD.effects of cognitive exercise on subjects should be traced over timePassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage.The complex topic“social class”is difficult to avoid when discussing British society，which is often seen as a society in which“social class”is more important than in other countries.This is true to a certain extent,but should probably not be exaggerated.Most countries have some kind of class structure.There exist broad groups within society which share types of employment,income levels,and certain cultural characteristics.But important in the idea of“class”is that it makes a difference to an individual’s“life-chances”which group or class he or she is bom into.So if a middle-class couple,perhaps a doctor and a teacher,have a child,it is more likely that that child will also acquire middle-class education,employment and income levels than will the child of working-class factory workers.This is certainly the case in the UK,though it should be stressed that it is far from impossible for the working-class child to acquire middle-class status:it is simply statistically much more unlikely than for his middle-class school-friend.If asked,about half the British population would describe themselves as middle-class,and half as working-class. Employment would be the main guide they would use:manual(or“blue-collar”）workers would usually call themselves working-class，and office(or“white-collar”）workers would usually call themselves middle-class.However,there is a hazyarea around unskilled office-work and skilled well-paid manual work which leads to sub-divisions such as“lower middle class”being used;and the term“upper middle class”might be used to describe doctors and lawyers and so on who have relatively high incomes and high status professions—especially in families with long traditions of such employment.This would differentiate them from the majority of middle-class people today,most of whom have working-class parents or grandparents.This reflects the huge expansion of the middle class over the twentieth century，and especially since1945, when more equal social policies were adopted by the government.11.The author discusses British society from the perspective of_____.cationB.social classC.employmentD.income levels12.“Class”is important because it____.A.determines an individual’s personalityB.makes a difference to an individual’s marriageC.makes a difference to the opportunities available to an individualD.gives an individual equal chances for education and employment13.The British would distinguish their social classes mainly by____.A.employmentB.income levelsC.family traditionscation backgrounds14.British doctors and lawyers belong to the____.A.upper middle classB.lower middle classC.upper classD.working class15.The middle-class expanded considerably over the twentieth century mainly because____.A.the British earned more money than beforeB.more people received higher education than beforeC.the number of doctors and lawyers increased sharplyD.the British government introduced more equal social policiesPassage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage.“But I can’t save any money.”It’s an excuse I hear a lot from which I detect a note of defiance.In the past few years,it has become increasingly frequent,as more and more Americans make less than we spend,eating up the savings in our homes. The national savings rate is declining.And the situation seems to be getting worse.We certainly know that saving money is good for us.Yet saving for tomorrow is still a largely ignored and unappreciated skill.The question that naturally follows is:Why?Why don’t Americans make saving a priority?To start with,saving today is much harder.The typical household income has held largely steady for a good half decade,while prices have continued to rise.If you’re having to spend a disproportionate amount of income on food and gas,it’s hard to save.Besides,credit became too accessible.For years it was simply too easy to get your hands on money to spend.While banks at one time would not let you spend more than36percent of your total income on debt,they stretched that number to 55percent during the housing boom.Why save when you could get that big flat-screen TV today and pay for it with mortgage debt that was both cheap and deductible?Last but not least,saving is,was,and always will be no fun.Think about it this way:Choosing to save almost always means opting for delayed gratification instead of immediate gratification.The pleasure of getting something good today is much greater than that in the future—even if the reward in the future is bigger.Recently,neuroeconomists,a relatively new breed of experts in economics and neuroscience，have started using MRIs (核磁共振成像）to view the brain as it is making money choices.When something we want to buy comes into view,they see the pleasure center firing up.Similarly,getting a few dollars today is more thrilling than getting a slightly larger profit tomorrow.And if you have to wait a few months for that gain,it will have to be much bigger in order to arouse the same interest in your brain.Things way off in the future---like retirement—don’t jostle the pleasure center much at all.16.In the author’s eyes，Americans say they can’t save any money because they_____.A.want to win sympathyB.are well prepared for retirementC.will make more money in the futureD.are probably unwilling to be economical17.According to the passage,during the housing boom the banks_____.A.raised the saving interest rateB.issued fewer credit cardsC.made it easier to borrow moneyD.initiated credit risk management18.How many reasons are given in Paragraph3?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.19.The neuroeconomists'research is cited to prove_____.A.saving will be more thrilling as time goes byB.MRIs help customers make purchase decisionsC.if s a complex process to stimulate the pleasure centerD.immediate gratification is more appealing than delayed gratification20.What suggestion do you think the author is most likely to give in the following paragraphs?A.Saving up money.B.Applying for credit cards.C.Stimulating consumption.D.Studying the pleasure center.II.SPEED READINGSkim or scan the following passages,and then decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points,1point each)Passage5Questions21to25are based on the following passage.Many editors and writers today define flash fiction as a story ranging from a few words to not usually over1,500to2,000 words(but more often less than1,000words).A traditional short story ranges from3,000to20,000words,so flash fiction is considerably shorter.However,while length can help identify flash fiction,it is of little use in actually defining it.The amorphous and variable quality of flash fiction allows for the constant changing of shapes as these stories draw and develop from various genres and traditions to create stand-alone stories that often work on their own terms.Countless writers are involved in writing flash fiction in various ways.Many are involved in following the form’s long tradition，and many others are reinventing the form as they continue to experiment with the boundaries and methods of fiction.These shortest of stories are not always diversions for the moment but are often stories that are profound and memorable—as good fiction of longer lengths can be.Charles Baxter notes in the introduction to Sudden Fiction International:60Short Short Stories,'This form is not about to be summarized by anyone's ideas about it.The stories are on so many various thresholds:they are between poetry and fiction,the story and the sketch,prophecy and reminiscence,the personal and the crowd As a form，they are open，and exist in a state of potential.”Some names for flash fiction are chosen to stress brevity,suggesting that such stories can be read or even written in a flash.Other names are chosen to emphasize the way in which the stories affect and enlighten readers.And still other names are chosen for the way in which they cause readers to perform the act of reading,many times forcing them to slow down and read such pieces as slowly and carefully as they would read good poetry.Even though this type of writing travels by several names,flash fiction has become the most popular label,likely because of its snappy poetic consonance,which makes it easy to hold in memory,and because of its distance from the older, less descriptive term“short-shorts”.More and more writers，editors,and readers use“flash fiction”to refer to very short stories.21.Flash fiction usually refers to a story ranging from a few words to____.A.less than1，000wordsB.more than2,000wordsC.more than3,000wordsD.less than20,000words22.The form of flash fiction can be best described as____.A.variableB.unifiedC.traditionalplete23.How many ways of naming flash fiction are mentioned in Paragraph4?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.24.Among all the labels referring to very short stories,the most popular one is____.A.short-shortsB.short storyC.flash fictionD.poetic story25.The passage mainly focuses on flash fiction in terms of its____.A.popularitysC.readersD.poetic qualityPassage6Questions26to30are based on the following passage.Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting,but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with,it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do.Most people,when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice,are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing.And whatever they decide on,they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been more pleasant.The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition.In most work success is measured by income,and while the capitalistic society continues,this is inevitable.It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply.The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can procure(获取). However dull work may be，it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation，whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle.Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run,and for most men this comes chiefly through their work.In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men,or than women who work outside the home.The domesticated wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself,is taken for granted by her husband(who sees practically nothing of what she does),and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities.Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors;but such women are comparatively few.For the great majority,housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds brings to men and to professional women.The satisfaction of killing time and of affording some outlet,however modest,for ambition,belongs to most work,and is sufficient to make even a man whose work is dull happier on the average than a man who has no work at all.But when work is interesting,it is capable of giving satisfaction of a far higher order than mere relief from tedium.The kinds of work in which there is some interest may be arranged in a hierarchy.26.For most people,even uninteresting work has the advantage of_____.A.earning a good nameing up extra energyC.cultivating interest in workD.sparing the need of deciding what to do27.In the capitalistic society,income is usually an indication of_____.A.powerB.wisdomC.rightsD.success28.Dull work can be accepted if it_____.A.offers life insuranceB.foresees a chance for promotionC.offers comfortable working environmentD.offers a chance of building up a reputation29.Most housewives are valued by their husbands for_____.A.making houses beautifulB.making gardens beautifulC.other qualities than their houseworkD.their housework rather than other qualitiespared with a man who has no work,a man with a dull job is generally_____.A.happierB.more boredC.less satisfiedD.less pleasantIII.DISCOURSE CLOZEThe following is taken from the textbook.Read the passage and fill in the numbered spaces(there are more suggested answers than necessary).Write your answers
