Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 centre.Passage OneMost American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their workinteresting. If they haveto do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 单调 )are what they can't stand.In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,”If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, I'd like to buy two hundred hats of this style.”“No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”“How's that?” The tourist could not understand.“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”61.We can learn from the story that .A.only the straw hats of the same style were soldB.most American people don't want to do the same work again and againC.the straw hats were sold only in the mountain villageD.the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style62.How much did the nice hat cost?A. $5B. $10C. $15D. $2063.The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist .A.frightenedB. pleasedC. puzzledD. delighted64.Why did the shop-keeper ask the tourist to pay him double price?A.Because the shop-keeper couldn't make two hundred hats of the same style.B.Because the shop-keeper couldn't stand repeating the same work endlessly.C.Because the shop-keeper didn't want to sell him so many hats.D.Because the shop-keeper hadn't enough straw to make the hats.63.“It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .A.it would be too expensive for the shop-keeperB.the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dyingD. it would be too boring for the shop-keeperPassage TwoIt is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purposeyou should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保证) for your character and ability;and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in theline of business. let it be known.Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.66.The aim of writing a letter of application is to .A.indicate why you are the most suitable for the jobB.reveal to the employer your academic recordC.show your character and abilityD.give more information about yourself67.In your letter of application, try to .A.keep it as long as possibleB.give more information about your education and trainingC.cover more of your academic recordD.say briefly with enough information68.The author suggests you choose words so long as they express your meaning.A.beautifulB. plainC. specialD. particular69.The underlined word “referees” in Paragraph 2 refers to people .A.who examine the application lettersB.who write reference books for the employeesC.who solve problems for the employersD.who give you reference letters70.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.Making a Job Application.B. Effective Letter Writing.C. Writing Letters to Employers.D. Writing for Advertisements.Passage ThreeDoctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearingdamage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.71.Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .A.loud musicB. the sound of a jet airplane or machinesC. common sounds at home or at workD. all of the above72.The passage suggests that one's hearing .A.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondB.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one secondC.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondD.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second73.According to this passage, we can draw a conclusion that aspirin . A.should never be taken more than four grams a dayB.makes hearing damage from noise worseC.decreases hearing damage by two timesD.should never be taken for more than two dayslions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise because they .A. take too much aspirinB. like listening to loud musicC. make loud noise at home and at workD. often take jet airplanes75.The scientist found from his experiment that a day for two days would affect a person's hearing.A. one gram of aspirinB. two grams of aspirinC. three grams of aspirinD. four grams of aspirinPassage FourAncient people had little idea of the nature of the earth's surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This isbecause sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “insalt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts”meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius”(middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that layin the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europeand Africa—are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus”meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earth's population.76.People in ancient times knew .A. a lot about land and seaB. some continents were connectedC. little about the surface of the earthD. many people lived on the World Island77.The word “continent” comes from language.A.the LatinB. the RomanC. the GreekD. the Hebrew78.“Eurasia” is the name for the continents of .A.Europe and AsiaB. Europe and AfricaC. Africa and AsiaD. Europe, Asia and Africa79.What connects Asia and Africa?A. A small island.B. A large desert.C. A narrow passage.D. A wide land.80.About 85% of the population in the world are living .A.in EuropeB. in AsiaC. in EurasiaD. on the World IslandPart III. TranslationDirections: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave meinsights( 领悟) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I amable to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.Part IV. WritingDirections: For this part, you are required to write a composition of 120 to 180 words. Your writing should be based on the title and outline given below.College Students' Doing Part-time Jobs1.大学生做兼职的益处;2.大学生做兼职的弊端;3.你的看法。

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 centre.Passage 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Enough sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed ）.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn't really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）.Instead, they learn both stated and implied meanings from what they see, Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when their parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to sit their kids in front of the TV set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading. ”A child's reading ability is best predicted by how m uch a parent reads/1 Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers children's IQ scores and affects their school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it's the other way around.11 If you're smart young, you'll watch less TV when you*re older/ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.Foryears, researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally 0专统土也）believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.46.By watching TV, children learnA. images through wordsB. both stated and implied meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology47.According to the passage, an educational program is best watched by childrenA. on their ownB. with other kidsC. with their parentsD. with their teachers48.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A. Listening to the radio.B. Watching television.C. Parents1 reading list.D. Parents1 educational background.49.Anderson believed thatA.the more children watch TV. the smarter they areB.the younger children are, the more they watch TVC.the smarter children are, the less likely they are more interested in watching TVD.the less children watch TV, the better they perform at school50.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To advise that TV should be used for educationakpurposes.B.To describe the harmful effects of TV on children.C.To explain traditional views of influences that TV has had on children.D.To suggest that television cannot be blamed for problems it doesn't cause.Passage 3It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）.“ I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars-behind me/ she said with a smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at* the tollbooth were informed, "Some lady up ahead already you're your fare/' It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: n Practice random （随意的）kindness and senseless acts of beauty.'* The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home When it stayed on her mind for days, she decided to drive all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful/ she said, explaining why she would write it at the bottom of all her let ters, “like a message from above." Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classrOom.walkfor his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. ~ Alice .put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked i.t, she did not know here it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Matin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here's the idea/1 Anne says. "Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly/* Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of old schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a poor old lady. Anne says, ”Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can/1The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare aid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!51.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A.She knew the car drivers well.B.She wanted to show kindness.C.She hoped to please others.D.She had seven tickets.52.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because sheA.thought it was beautifully writtenB.wanted to know what it really meantC.decided to write it on a warehouse wallD.wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom53.Who wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper according to the passage?A.

Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, "Uh, look, the game box hasn1t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money/'Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. He saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box."You should put that up for auction （拍卖）on the Internet, and see what happens/* the salesgirl said."Yes, you're right. People like something rare/' Peter agreed, n l can't imagine there being very any unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later/*"Don't forget to tell me if you sell it,n the salesgirl smiled.”No problem/1 Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit SEARCH. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop."Hello! Do you still remember the unopened word game?"The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, ”Oh, hi!""I've got something for you," Peter said. "I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.M He handed her three $100 bills.”Wow!” the salesgirl cried out. "Thank you!

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points) Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earthshould all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyones diet, are certainly part of our everydayshopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the humble vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members ofsociety.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of has become of one of the dominating factors ofcontemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is apart, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse,and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ offace-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaI am one of the many city people who are always saying that giventhe choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt andnoise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself thatit werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But howrealistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the populationlive in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. Theres little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, andfor anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves forthe country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peaceand quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses.But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the quiet life by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring morning to the locals as they pass by? Im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, T oby, Im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the authors opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT A a strong sense of fear B lack ofcommunicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following thingsin the country EXCEPT A daily necessities B fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsIdeas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes toimprove their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. Its no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. Whats the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go onwith their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsHuman cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painfulprocedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for childrenand adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technologyby___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word infertile(Line 1, Para.2) most probablymeans____________.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17.

2023年陕西省专升本英语考试真题及答案

2023年陕西省专升本英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇12023 Shaanxi English Upgrade Test: A Kid's TakeHi guys! My name is Lili and I'm a 4th grader here in Xi'an. My big sister Meimei just took this crazy important English test called the Shaanxi Province Exam for Upgrading from Junior College to Bachelor's Degree Programs. She studied sooooo hard for months! I helped her practice some of the speaking parts. It was nuts!Meimei said the reading section was first. They had to read some long passages about things like environmental science, modern technology, and Chinese economics. Then they had to answer multiple choice questions testing if they understood the main ideas, details, vocabulary from context, and the author's purpose and tone. Meimei struggled a bit with the economics passage cuzbiz English has lots of hard words.Next was the listening part. They played recordings of lectures, conversations, and radio shows. The questions were also multiple choice, asking whatthe main ideas were, whothespeakers were, their opinions on things, and other details. Meimei said one conversation was really fast between two professors arguing aboutclimate change data. She missed a couple questions on that one.Then came the writing section - two tasks. First was an email responding to a situation, like applying for a job or complainingabout a product. Meimei had to write a proper email with greeting, bodyldear Mrs.Smith, I am writing to express my sincere interest in the positionof...>, and a closing. The second task was a longessayarguingfor or against some controversial statement. Meimei wrote about whether aiunsurism should be banned. She tried to have good examples, reasoning, vocabulary, and organization for thisone.Meimei's favorite was the speaking section at the end. She had to have a "conversation" with a computer by listening to questions or prompts, then speaking her responses into a mic. Things like introducing herself, explaining a concept, stating anddefendingan opinion, and proposingasolution to some problem. The computer didn't actually understand or respond to her - it just recorded her speaking for the graders to listen to later. Meimei saidthiswas where practicing with me reallypaidoff!When it was all over, Meimei felt pretty good about mostof it, but knew she probably made some silly mistakes here and there. Now we're all just waiting for her score to see if she qualifies toenter the bachelor's degreeprogramor has to take the test again next year. Keeping our fingerslittlefingers> crossed!Okay, wanna see some of the actual test questions my sis encountered? Here are just a few examples:Reading:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of increased urban farming?A) Reduced pollution from transporting foods long distancesB) More employment opportunities for city residentsC) Lowered rates of dietary health issues like obesityD) Elimination of need for rural agricultural areasListening:What does the professor imply is the primary cause of the gender wage gap?A) Discrimination in hiring practicesB) Women taking timeofffrom careers to raise childrenC) Differences in the college majors men and womenchooseD) Variations in the average number of hours men and women workWriting (Email Prompt):You recently hired an English tutor to help improve your speaking and writing abilities. However, after a few sessions you have been dissatisfied with the quality of instruction. Write an email to the tutoring company expressing your complaints and requesting either a differenttutor or a refund.Speaking (Opinion Prompt):Some people believe that mobilephone use should be completely prohibited while operating a vehicle, as it is a significant safety risk and modern hands-free options are still too distracting. Others argue that hands-free calling and voicecontrol software make phone use safe if done responsibly. What is your opinion on this issue? Explain your position using logical reasoning and examples.Answers:Reading: D) Elimination of need for rural agricultural areasListening: C) Differences in the college majors men and women chooseWriting: Reader's choice - well-organized email with appropriate format, content, and polite toneSpeaking: Reader's choice - coherent response with clear opinion, developed reasoning, relevant examples, good structureWhew! As you can see, it was a verrrrry thorough and challenging test for my poor sister. Kudos to anyone who can pass this beast! Math, coding, and Chinese sections too? No thanks, I'll stick to 4th grade homework for now! Let me know if you all have any other questions!篇2My Big English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Li Ming and I'm in 5th grade. I just took a really big English test called the 2023 Shaanxi Province English Proficiency Test for academic credential holders. It was super hard but also kinda fun! Let me tell you all about my big adventure with this test.First off, I had to study a whole bunch to get ready. My English teacher Miss Zhang made us practice listening, reading,writing, speaking - you name it! She said this test was going to be really important for kids like me who want to go to a good university later on. I didn't really get why at first, but my mom and dad kept telling me how critical English is these days. "Work hard on your English, Ming Ming," they'd say. "It will open up so many opportunities for you!"So I buckled down and hit the books...or I guess I should say I hit the English practice tests! We did listening exercises where we had to pick out key details from conversations. The reading passages were pretty dense for a 10-year-old, let me tell you. Writing was maybe the hardest part - I had to write a whole essay just like this one for the test! Can you believe it? Speaking was fun though. We got to have mock conversations and describe pictures out loud. Piece of cake for a chatty kid like me!Test day finally came and I was sooo nervous. We all had to get to the testing center super early in the morning. It was in this huge auditorium at the university near my house. My palms were sweating as the proctor passed out the test booklets. "Don't be scared, Ming Ming," Miss Zhang whispered before we started. "Just do your best!"The listening section kicked things off. I had to listen really carefully to some conversations between people and answermultiple choice questions about what they said. Like I mentioned, listening practice helped a ton to get me ready for that part.Next up was the reading section which totally drained my brain. I had to power through several long passages on all kinds of topics - science, history, literature, you name it. The questions got progressively harder too, asking for main ideas, making inferences, defining tricky vocabulary words. I just tried my best and filled in the bubbles.Writing time rolled around after that. We had two prompts to choose from - one was telling a story based on a picture and the other was giving our opinion on something. I went with the opinion essay and wrote my little 5th grade heart out about how kids my age should get less homework. A girl can dream, right?Last but not least was the speaking section. One by one, we had to go in another room and have a recorded conversation with a test grader. They asked me to describe a scene from a picture, which was explaining some steps in a process (making paper airplanes if I remember right). Definitely one of the easier parts for a motor mouth like yours truly.Whew, I was pooped after that whole shebang! The test took practically all day. Miss Zhang said she was proud of us no matter what though. I really hoped I did well, just so all the hardwork paid off, you know? My parents took me out for pizza that night to celebrate being done.A few weeks went by before the results finally came out. I'll never forget the day Miss Zhang passed back the test reports in class. I was shaking as I opened the envelope with my scores...AND I PASSED! I got high enough marks to be eligible for academic credential programs. A huge weight lifted off my shoulders.My parents were over the moon, too. All those late nights and practice tests were worth it. "We always knew you could do it, Ming Ming!" my dad exclaimed as he swept me up in a bear hug. Miss Zhang beamed and said she couldn't wait to help me prepare for the academic credential exams down the road.So that's the whole story of my big English test experience. It was hard work, but also kinda fun in a way. An adventure for sure!I know I've still got a long road of English learning ahead, but this test makes me feel ready to take it on. The sky's the limit, right? Well, I'm off to keep studying...gotta stay on top of my English game! Thanks for reading, friends!篇3The Biggest Test Ever!Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in the 5th grade at Sunshine Elementary School in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Today I want to tell you all about the super important English test that happened in my province this year - the 2023 Shaanxi Academic Examination for upgrading from junior college to undergraduate! It was a really big deal.Even though I'm just a kid and still in elementary school, I heard a lot about this test from my parents, teachers, and even on TV. They said it was one of the biggest and most challenging English tests in all of China for students trying to go from a junior college degree to a full bachelor's degree at a university. Thousands and thousands of students took it across Shaanxi hoping to get a high enough score to upgrade their education. Can you imagine how nervous they must have been?From what I could understand, the test had a few different sections including listening, reading, writing, translation, and using language points correctly. My mom said the listening section was super hard because they had to understand recordings with different accents and background noises. The reading section used really long academic passages too. I can't even imagine trying to understand all those big words and ideas!If I had to take a test like that, my little brain would probably explode.For the writing part, the students had to write a whole essay in English on a serious topic given to them during the test. My dad told me one of the essay prompts was about sustainable urban development and how to make cities more environmentally friendly. He said you really had to know a ton of vocabulary words related to the environment, urban planning, and policy to write a good essay. Those words are so advanced that they make my tongue twist into a knot just trying to say them! How are regular people supposed to know all that??Then there was the translation section where the test takers had to translate complex paragraphs perfectly between English and Chinese. My parents said this section is a huge challenge because you have to really understand the grammar, context, and connotations of both languages flawlessly. One small misunderstanding or mistake and the whole meaning could get messed up. No pressure though, right?The language points section covered all the tiny details and irregular cases in English grammar, like subjunctive moods or conditional perfect tenses. I've never even heard of things like that before! My English teacher Ms. Roberts says grammar isimportant, but some of the rules on this test sounded harder than ancient Chinese philosophy. I'm just a kid trying to remember basic sentence structures and when to use "a" or "the"!Phew, I'm getting tired just talking about all the difficult parts of this test. How in the world did those students prepare for something so incredibly challenging? My parents said many of them took monthly practice tests for over a year. They read practice materials every day, attended lectures, hired personal tutors, and pretty much dedicated their whole life to this one exam. Can you believe that? Even I don't study that much for my spelling quizzes!The test was held on April 15th across different rooms and buildings in Xi'an. Apparently the locations were so secure with monitoring systems that nobody could cheat in any way. I've been to some of the test buildings before for other events and they looked like hardcore military bases, not schools! The exam lasted over 3 hours too. I can hardly sit still for my 1-hour math tests without getting antsy.A few weeks later, the incredible scores and answer keys were finally released online and on TV. The reading passages covered topics like international business law (huh??), surgicalrobotics (are robots going to operate on me some day?), and archaeological discoveries of ancient Mayan cities (cavaliers and mayonnaise cities??). I definitely wouldn't have understood any of those readings!The sample essay answers looked like they were written by world-famous university professors or something. The words and sentences were so perfect and intelligent. My attempts at writing usually involve a lot of erasing, crossed-out words, and doodles in the margins. I have a hard time even filling up one page, never mind writing a multi-page masterpiece about urban environmental policies!From what I saw, pretty much everything about this exam was way too hard for a little kid like me. The listening, reading, writing, translation, grammar…I'm just not cut out for testing at that level. At least not yet! I've got a long way to go before I can even dream of passing an exam like that. The junior college students who took it must be super brave and smart. I was really impressed learning all about it.In the end, only the top scoring students were allowed to upgrade their junior college diplomas to bachelor's degrees from universities. It's crazy how one single test on one single day could completely change the course of someone's education andfuture career! If I ever have to take a terrifying high-stakes test like that when I'm older, I'll definitely be spending a lot more time studying than playing video games. This 2023 Shaanxi exam was no joke!Well, that's all I've got to say about the biggest English test of the year here in Shaanxi Province. Even though it went way over my head as a fifth grader, I tried my best to understand and explain it to you all. I have a brand new respect for any student who could ace that incredibly difficult exam. If you ever find yourself getting nervous about a spelling quiz or math test, just remember how much harder the 2023 Shaanxi Academic Exam was! We're pretty lucky we don't have anything that intense to deal with as elementary schoolers. I'm going to go appreciate how easy my life is by playing outside and eating ice cream. Thanks for listening!篇4The 2023 Shaanxi English Upgrading Test - A Kid's ViewHi friends! My name is Little Wang and I'm going to tell you all about the big English test I had to take last month. It was called the 2023 Shaanxi Province English Test for Upgradingfrom Junior College to Undergraduate. That's a really long name! I'll just call it the Upgrading Test.The Upgrading Test was really hard. There were listening, reading, writing, and translation sections. I had to sit at a desk for four whole hours! My little legs were getting tired from all that sitting.The listening part was first. I put on my headphones and the nice lady's voice came on telling me to listen carefully. There were conversations between two people and I had to choose the right answer about what they said. Some of the conversations were about going shopping or making plans. Other conversations were news reports about things happening in Shaanxi Province. I tried really hard to listen but it was tough!After listening, we did the reading section. There were longer passages to read about science, history, culture, and lots of other topics. I liked the passage about the Terra Cotta Warriors best because I learned about that on a field trip last year. But some of the other reading passages used words I didn't know and had difficult sentences to understand.Once we finished the terribly long reading section, it was time for writing. We had to write a short essay of 100-120 words on a randomly assigned topic. The topic I got was "The Benefitsof Learning English." I wrote about how learning English can help me make friends around the world and travel to different countries one day. I bet my writing looks like chicken scratch though!The very last section was translation. We had to translate sentences from English into Chinese and from Chinese back into English. Some of the vocabulary was really advanced for a kid like me. I tried my best but I'm sure I made quite a few mistakes. Translating is just so hard!Finally, after what felt like an entire day, the Upgrading Test was over. My hand was sore from all that writing and reading. My brain was fried from trying to focus for so long. I really hoped I did okay.A few weeks later, our teacher posted the Upgrading Test answers for our class. I hurried to check my work. Here are some of the questions and answers from the different sections:Listening SectionQuestion: What did the man say about the restaurant?A) The food was delicious.B) The service was slow.C) It was too expensive.D) The location was inconvenient.Answer: BReading SectionAccording to the passage, which of the following regions in China is known for producing high quality silk?A) GuangdongB) ShaanxiC) ZhejiangD) YunnanAnswer: CWriting Section[Example Essay Question] The Benefits of Learning EnglishLearning English provides many important benefits. First, it allows communication with people from different countries and cultures. Second, studying English can help create job opportunities both locally and globally. English skills make an individual more competitive in the career marketplace. Finally, learning English expands one's understanding of the world byproviding access to books, movies, websites and other resources produced in the English language. Overall, learning English is extremely advantageous in our interconnected world.Translation SectionTranslate the following sentence into Chinese:The ancient capital city of Xi'an is home to the famous Terracotta Warriors.西安这座古都是著名的兵马俑的所在地。

Dr. Winkle says, The more we worry, the 68 we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with 69.If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep, he 70, we can often find the 71 to deal with what’s worrying us.So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy 72 a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, 73 strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache 74 of making you feel more refreshed.Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short 75 and do something restful before going to bed.This could be watching TV or listening to music.Doing some exercise 76 in the day should help you to feel physically as well as 77 tired.A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you 78.

Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: There are 4 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world population.B. one type of the exponential rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”?A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A. 100 yearsB. 175 yearsC. 1975 yearsD. over two million years44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.A. hospitals and medicinesB. schools and studentsC. food and manpower resourcesD. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to beextensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.A. body languageB. logical reasoningC. tasks demanding for the use of wordsD. both A and B47. The word "accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.A. believedB. assumedC. receivedD. reconciled48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.B. mind and body.C. programming talents into the brain.D. imagination and communication.49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobileD. planning and making things as an engineer does50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are .A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San Andreas’ fault is .A. an active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A. Dangers of EarthquakeB. Earthquake Belts and PredictionC. Earthquake Prediction and ControlD. Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.57. According to the author, sporting activities .A. are essential to the survivalB. have actually developed from huntingC. evolve as biological developmentD. are football games58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .A. skillful sportsmenB. successful farmersC. runners and jumpersD. cooperating hunters59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .A. sports activitiesB. huntingC. farmersD. prey killing60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any moreIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
