Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage：“Certainly, sir.” the shoemaker said.“When will they be ready?” the man asked.“I’m a bit busy, but they will be ready for you on Thursday,” he said.“That’s fine.” the man said and left the shop.The next morning he received a letter, offering him a job in another country. Within 24 hours he was on an airplane to his new job.Twenty years passed and he returned to his hometown.He remembered his shoes.“They were a good pair of shoes,” he thought, “I wonder if the shoemaker is still there a nd still has them. I’ll go and see.” The same shop, although he was an old man by now.“Good morning.” he said to the shoemaker, “Twenty years ago, I brought in a pair of shoes. Do you still have them?”“Name?” the old shoemaker asked.“Smith.” the ma n said.“I’ll go and see. They may be in the back.”The shoemaker went out to the back of his shop and a few minutes later returned, carrying a pair of shoes.“Here they are.” he said, “One pair of brown shoes. I’m a bit busy now, but they’ll be ready on Thursday.”51. Why did the man go to a shoemaker?A. They were old friends.B. He wanted him to make a new pair of shoes.C.

In the end, the man found that__________.A. his shoes were still there, but the shoemaker didn’t repair themB. his shoes were not thereC. the shoemaker had repaired the shoesD. the shoemaker had lost the shoesQuestions 56-60 are based on the following passage：Ian Pearson sees a convergence (会聚点)between clever computers and biotechnology, the coming of implanted chips and enhanced mental ability. Both machines and humans will haveaccess to a global net with instant access to the world’s knowledge. But Pearson also fears that it could divide the world into two classes-those with access to this knowledge and those without. Clearly, there is a risk in losing control of things which are capable of chinking. Pearson expects machines to be as smart as humans by 2050. After that, computers will continue to get even smarter.The trouble with the digital revolution, says MIT Media Lab director Neil Gershenfeld in his book When Things Start to Think, is that computers may have speeded up many of the processes of modern life, but they still remain relatively difficult to use.“Most computers are nearly blind, deaf and dumb,” says Gershenfeld. The speed of the computer is increasingly much less of a concern than the difficulty：1. in telling it what you want it to do, or2. in understanding what it has done, or3. in using it where you want to go, rather than where it can go.What’s needed now, he concludes, is digital evolution. The real challenge is how to create systems with many parts that can work together and change, combining the physical world with the digital world.If we can manage the development so that they (thinking machines) stay our friends, in just a few years we’ll see progress in every area of life that makes the past centuries look like all of us have been asleep.“Evolution is a result of interaction,” says Gershenfeld.“And information technology is greatly changing how we interact. Therefore it’s not crazy to think about the influence of this on evolution.”56. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Computers will become smarter and smarter.B. The image of things will be different in the future.C. The speed of computers is much less of a concern.D. Computers will divide the world into two classes.57. According to Pearson,__________are the two classes into which the world will be divided.A. those who study computers in their spare time and those who don’tB. those who have computers to sell and those who haven’tC. those who can use computers to learn knowledge and those who can’tD. those who are smarter than computers and those who aren’t58. According to Neil Gershenfeld, __________is needed now.A. greater speed of computer development and the process of lifeB. a digital evolution that combines the physical world and the digital one59. What does the sentence “in just a few years we’ll see progress in every area of life that makes the past centu ries look like we’ve all been asleep” suggest?A. We have been sleeping for thousands of years according to computers.B. The digital evolution has progressed very slowly during the last few years.C. Comparatively speaking . progress of the past centuries was really very slow.D. We can work for a few years to make progress in the digital evolution possible.60. What leads to evolution according to the passage?A. InformationB. RevolutionC. ComputersD. InteractionQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage：“University-the best time of your life.” All my parent’s friends, and my many uncles and aunts, said the same thing to me, despite the fact that none of them had ever been to one. However, I thought there had to be something in what they were saying , and as the day approached when I would start my higher education, I felt a growing excitement.And then university actually began and for the first term I was terribly miserable, I’d chosen a university that was a long way from home, and in those first few months, how I regretted not having taken my parents’ advice and gone to the very good university a short bus ride away. I was very homesick and everything about the university seemed alien(陌⽣的)to me, lecturers and the other students. I felt as if I was on another planet, and, although I could cope with the work, had great difficulty finding anyone I felt comfortable talking to.But the next term things changed. I started chatting to two girls who had rooms on the same floor as me and we became friends. They introduced me to a few more people I got on with, and suddenly there was a group of us who did everything together. We were all quite serious, and intended to be successful, and this, as well as the fact that I found the university work very interesting, meant that I began to develop intellectually. But this isn’t to say we didn’t have fun⼀we did, there were parties most weekends and by my second year, I knew a lot of interesting people. When I left, having got a very g ood degree, I had to confess that I’d had a wonderful time at university, and it was hard to believe life could get any better.61. “University-the best time of your life.” is a saying that the writer__________.A. agrees withB. thinks is often trueC. thinks is sometimes trueD. says is not true for her62.

They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, awayfrom the sea. people don’t eat so much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.In North America. Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the U. S. A.; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry while people in rich countries eat too much.66. When did people learn to farm the land?Around ________________________________________.67.

An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was place “long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says, “checkmate”. These words come from Persian.“Shah mat” means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It could be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion(冠军) in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play among many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must take chess the slowest game in the world.11. Which of the following is known to be true?A. Chess is an old Indian traveling game.B. Chess is the oldest game in the world.C. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.D. Chess was played in India before 900. 12. One player has won the game when ________.A. he attacks the other player's kingB. he says some Persian wordsC. the other player's king can not move anywhereD. he says “check” to the other player13. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?A. “Shah mat”B. “Check”C. “The king is dead”D. “Check mate”14. Which of the following is NOT correct?A. All kinds of people can play chess sitting at the same table.B. Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.C. Some people write to each other playing chess.D. The Russian lost the game played by radio.15. According to the old rule of the game _________.A. the queen was the strongest piece on the boardB. the king had to be attacked all the timeC. the queen could move no more than one square at a timeD. The king could not move anywhereII. Vocabulary and Structure （本题共15小题，每题1分，共15分）Directions: For each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

People who are happy tent to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart form animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or marking a sacrifice( 牺牲) for a “greater good”. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering ( 做义工） in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now --it eventually fades away .However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.46.What is the main idea if the passage ？A. A happy life is basically different form a meaningful life.B. Leading a happy life is connected with being a “take”.C. Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want.D. Meaning connected the past to the present to the future.47.

It is implied in Paragraph 4 that.A. meaning will disappear sooner or laterB. living a happy life means to be a “giver”C. happiness lasts a relatively short period of timeD. making a sacrifice for a “greater good” brings us happiness50. The passage is organized by.A. giving examplesB. making contrastsC. definingD. classifyingPassage 2Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise .But those who are to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand (占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of 1,000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的) reasoning were measured and academic (学业的) ades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reason in which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance .The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually (概念性地) and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.51. The underlined expression”morning larks”in Paragraph 1refers to .A. birds which scream late at nightB. birds which sing early in the morningC. People who like to stay up late at nightD. people who are early to rise in the morning52. Traditionally, we hold that.A. Morning larks do not always have the upper handB.

Morning larks often score higher in exams, possible because.A. they are generally brighterB. they are early to bed and early to riseC. they have a greater capacity to analyzeD. the arrangement of lessons fits their body clocksPassage 3While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain troubled how to cope with another alcohol-related problem; drunken pedestrian( 行人) 。

2013江苏专转本英语真题及答案
江苏省2013年普通高校专转本考试真题Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question. “W hy did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿) of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.1.The Vienna survey may help to explain __________.A.the complaints of people in apartment housesB.the causes of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC.the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD.the image of cities in general2.The second paragraph lists some ___________.A.disadvantage of walkingB.occasions for walking in city lifeC.problems of city livingments made by city people3.To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful ___________.A.to take the elevatorB.to walk up the stairsC.to ride in a carD.to find an alternative walking4.People who live in the country usually do more driving than walking because ___________.A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need exerciseC.they don’t like walkingD.they can’t afford to take the bus5.We can draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.A.air pollution is not seriousB.anyone can live to be 107C.country people should move to citiesD.walking is a healthful exercisePassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.The Bedouin people, a tribe living in the deserts of Arabia and Northern African, think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe.The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors(祖先). They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They especially respect those who have inherited(继承) a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.A man’s position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disagreed, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.A man can protect his family’s honors by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue(美德).6. The best title for this passage can be __________.A. Life of the Bedouin PeopleB. Women’s Position in the Bedouin FamilyC. Bedouin People’s Idea of Loyalty and HonorD. How to Guard Honors7. The Bedouin people think most highly of one who is ______.A. devoted to his country and his leaderB. from an ordinary familyC. proud of his ancestor and relativesD. faithful to his family and tribe8. It is learned from the passage that ___________.A. a hero from an honored family is more admiredB. one can not live in the tribe without a good family nameC. all the Bedouin people are kind, brave and generousD. family traditions can never be passed to children9. The word “disgraced” (Para. 3) means “ __________”.A. disappearedB. disappointedC. dishonoredD. discouraged10. It is implied in the passage that the Bedouin women are __________.A. treated as the equals of menB. respected for what they doC. not interested in positionD. not respected as much as menPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Up until about 100 years ago, newspaper in the United States attracted only the most serious readers. They used no illustrations (插图) and the articles were about politics or business.Two men changed that---Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal. Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where madmen were kept. In 1895, Hearst came to New York from California. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World. He also wanted it to be cheaper, so he lowered the price by a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper heading were bigger than any one else’s. He often said, “Big print makes big news.”Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspaper. For example, Hearst sent Frederic Remington, the famous illustrator, to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he told Hearst that no fighting was going on. Hearst answered, “ You provide the pictures. I’ll provide the war.11. About a century ago, American newspaper carried news about __________.A. all kinds of exciting newsB. crimes and mad peopleC. the poor treatment of patientsD. serious matters only12. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Pulitzer and a woman news reporter changed the world overnight.B. Pulitzer bought the Journal with the help of his reporter.C. A woman news reporter pretended to be mad.D. A woman reporter became mad and was sent to a hospital.13. Hearst attracted readers’ attention by ______________.A. using bigger headingsB. reporting big war newsC. raising the price of the newspaperD. reporting politics and business only14. __________ was asked to draw war pictures.A. HearstB. RemingtonC. PulitzerD. A woman reporter15. This passage tells us that ________.A. Pulitzer and Hearst were the most famous reporters of the United StatesB. newspaper owners sometimes hired mad men as their news reportersC. the world and the journal were not popular newspaper at that timeD. Pulitzer and Hearst used every possible means to win over each otherPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.It is hard to imagine life without Arabic numbers(数字). No other number system ever invented has a simple way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numeral, it comes out like this MCMLXXXIV. Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals”. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazine then, so mathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:” The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry. Rice and many other plants were grown in fields with water supplied by Arab engineers. The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings.” At this time, London was a small town with dirty streets, and Berlin was a farming village. In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.16. This passage tells us that the Arabs were a people _______________.A. inventing Roman numeralsB. having advanced technology long agoC. growing corn and many other plants thenD. supplying other countries with colorful silk17. It takes much more efforts to ___________.A. learn Roman numerals than Arab numeralsB. introduce numerals through printed materialsC. make great use of silk roadsD. teach businessmen numerals18. The Arabs call their numerals “ Indian numerals” because _________.A. the numerals are mainly used in ChinaB. they copied numerals from IndiansC. Arabic numerals were first used by Indian businessmenD. they got some ideas about number from the ancient Indians19. According to the passage, the Arab people ___________.A. did business with the IndiansB. learned some ideas about business from IndiansC. built public baths in London in the 10th centuryD. traveled a long way to learn mathematics in Rome20. From a 10th-century book, we can learn that ___________.A. Berlin was formerly a dirty with sufficient rice and plantsB. London was under the rule of the Romans in the 10th centuryC. the Arab world was more advanced than other countries aroundD.

Part I Reading Comprehension(60marks,60minutes)Section A（每小题2分）FormatⅠDirections:There are4passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.（40marks）Passage oneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:A quality education is the ultimate liberator.It can free people form poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society.It can also free communities and countries,allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible.For this reason,the international community has committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by2015,a commitment known as Education for All.Can Education for All be achieved by2015?The answer is definitely“yes”, although it is a difficult task.If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school,instead of just enrolling for classes,which used to be the measuring stick for education,thechallenge will become even more difficult.Only32countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates.The number rises to88if completion rates are used as the standard.Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community.59of the88countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by2015if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems.They also need significant increases in external(外部的)financing and technical support.The29countries lagging(落后)farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress.But this is attainable with creative solutions,including the use of information technologies,flexible and targeted foreign aid,and fewer people living in poverty.A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country's capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies,institutions and management.Where a country scores well on these standards,foreign assistance can be highly effective.1.It can be inferred from the passage that a quality education has the function of.A.helping a country free from foreign ruleB.making people become wealthyC.giving people more power and freedomD.speeding up the progress of society2.The goal of Education for All is.A.to get all the children in the world to go to primary school by2015B.to let poor children have the same chances to go to school as rich onesC.to support those countries determined to reform their education systemsD.to help the poor countries improve productivity and achieve unity3.What used to be the standard of measuring a country's education?A.The rate of pupils being admitted by high school.B.The percentage of children enrolling for classes.C.The rate of school children who successfully passed the required courses.D.The percentage of children who successfully completed primary school.4.Which of the following will help achieve the goal of Education for All?A.Setting up more primary schools in poor regions.B.Establishing higher-performing education systems.C.Taking advantage of information technologies.D.Significantly increasing the national financing.5.The efficiency of using foreign aid is mostly determinedby.A.the government's policies and managementB.the country's wealth and economyC.people's awareness of developing educationD.students'performance in school examsPassage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This thanksgiving,many families are closer than they've been in years.An increasing number of extended families across the USA are under the same roof living together These arrangements are multigenerational,with adult children, grandchildren or an elderly parent sharing quarters.The reasons are economic and social.“This is a pattern that will continue,”predicts Neil Howe,a historian and economist.”High rates of multigenerational family living had been a norm until after World War II,when the emphasis shifted to the nuclear family enabled by construction of interstate highways,the rise of suburbs and the affluence(富裕)of young adults.But by the late1950s and1970s,there was a generation gap and almost generation war,”Howe says.“There was a time in the1970s when no one wanted to live together.Seniors were moving to Leisure World to get away from the culture of the kids.Couples were divorcing and youngsters wanted to strike out on their own.But now,many young adults do return home,at least temporarily.”Michele Beatty,54,of Waynesville,Ohio,and her husband,Cordon,56,had an empty nest between the time the youngest of their three sons went to college and the return of their oldest,Patrick,who left his job as a graphic designer.“They said,'you can come home to your old room and continue to look for employment,'”says Patrick Beatty,28.“I was stuck there.We were all brought up with the cultural expectation that once you leave the nest,you are not supposed to return..I feel part of the time like a burden,”he says.“I try to contribute to the house when I can.I try to stay out of their way as much as possible.It's home,but not the home I'd be building for myself if I had my way.”A survey of2,226adults,done by Narris Interactive for the non-profit Generations United,found that of those in a multigenerational home,40% reported that job loss,changes in job status or unemployment was a reason for the living arrangement.6.Which of the following arrangements is multigenerational in the USA?A.Nuclear families.B.Extended families.C.Single parent families.D.Families of seniors.7.In the USA,multigenerational home is regarded as a norm.A.between1950s and1970sB.before World War IIC.ever since1950sD.until late1970s8.According to the writer,families are closer than beforebecause.A.interstate highways make going home easierB.relatives tend to live close by in the suburbsC.more people return home for holidaysD.family members now live together9.What do the underlined words“strike out on their own”in Paragraph2most probably mean?A.Develop a new relationship with their employers.B.Get away from the culture of the kids.C.Start to live an independent life.D.Build their own houses10..How does Patrick Beatty feel about living with his parents?A.ExcitedB.HelplessC.RegretfulD.Satisfied Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the followingpassage:Researchers at the University of Maryland's School of Nursing found that55 percent of the2,103female nurses they surveyed were obese(肥胖的),citing job stress and the effect on sleep of long,irregular work hours as thecause.The study,which measured obesity using estimates of body mass index(体质指数)，found that nursing schedules affected not only the health of the nurses but the quality of patient care.“Health care professionals are often involved in proving advice or care to patients that relates to things that aren't totally under control in their own lives. It's not uniform for health care professionals to eat well or avoid tobacco,”said Dr.David Katz,the director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.Keith-Thomas Ayoob,associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine,said nurses are just as susceptible to health problems as the rest of society.“Before we were health professionals,we were real people.Just because we became health professionals doesn't mean we stopped being members of regular society with all the problems that go along with it.It illustrates that knowledgealone isn't always enough to produce behavioral changes,”saidAyoob.The same is true with smoking,Ayoob said.“We all know smoking is bad.It doesn't matter if you're a doctor or a nurse or a plumber.You might assume that your interest in health would be higher if you were a health professional,but a lot of doctors and nurses smoke,”said Ayoob.“Nurses need to understand the importance of taking care of themselves before patients or their families,”Ayoob said.To combat the high obesity rate among nurses,Kihye Han,the author of the study,proposed more education on good sleep habits,and better strategies for adapting work schedules.She also called for napping at work to relieve sleep deprivation(睡眠不足)，reduce fatigue and increase energy.11.One of the causes of the high obesity rate among nurses is.A.heavy smokingB.nursing schedulesC.less educationD.unhealthy food12.By saying“It's not uniform for health care professionals to eat well or avoid tobacco”,Dr.David Katz wants to tellus.A.health care professionals eat wellB.doctors and nurses usually don't smokeC.health care professionals wear different uniformsD.doctors and nurses don't necessarily have healthy behaviors.13.The underlined words“susceptible to”in Paragraph4probably mean.A.easily influenced byB.closely connected withC.highly sensitive toD.very doubtful about14.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.nurses need more professional trainingB.nurses need some help to control weightC.doctors don't have obesity problemsD.doctors often give useless advice15.What might be helpful to solve the problem of high obesity among nurses?A.More sleepB.Tighter scheduleC.Higher incomeD.More exercisePassage FourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:A new study shows an astonishing number of people are using their cellphones on the john(盥洗室).From web browsing and texting to conferencecalls and online shopping,it seems this technology-driven word leaves no time for bathroom breaks.11mark,an integrated marketing agency,surveyed1,000American mobile users in October.Seventy-five percent of them admitted they used their phones while on the toilet--leaving no mystery as to what happens behind closed stalls.And this doesn't just account for the technology-addicted youth.Forty-seven percent of mobile users from the Silent Generation(born1946or before),65 percent of Baby Boomers(1946-1964)and80percent of Gen X-ers(1965-1976) use their cell phones in the bathroom.But as expected,Generation Y has the highest percentage of multitaskers,using their phones and the john at the same time.Did the same percentage of Gen Y wash their hands afterward?Ninety-two percent of those surveyed reported they washed their hands after using the restroom(perhaps all those“You must wash your hands before returning to work”signs have started to pay off).But unfortunately the same cannot be said for their mobile devices--only14 percent wash their phones after using the bathroom.Maybe this calls for a new-age health initiative,requiring public restaurants to change their signs to “You must wash your hands---and your phone—before returning to work.”And for many,toilet talking and texting was not a just one-time thing,used only in the most dire(急迫的)circumstances.Twenty-four percent of mobile users reported they actually don't go to the bathroom without theirphones.In a world where you can't even have a moment of solitude(独处)on the toilet,one is forced to wonder,isn't anything sacredanymore?16.The passage is mainly about.A.a survey on how people use their mobile phonesB.the different ages and percentages of mobile usersC.whether people wash their hands and phones after using the bathroomD.how technology-driven world influences bathroom breaks17.We can learn from the passage that what happens in the bathroom used to be regarded as.A.funnyB.enjoyableC.ridiculousD.Mysterious18.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.the older people are more addicted to technologyB.the younger people are better multitaskersC.technology has the same influence on different peopleD.technology has a destructive power19.The underlined words“pay off”in Paragraph5probably means.A.deserve nothingB.cost muchC.influence peopleD.go unnoticed20.What is the tone of this passage?A.ironicB.humorousC.optimisticD.Doubtful FormatⅡDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21—25,choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the gaps.Mark your answers on Answer Sheet.(10marks)This year the world’s population ticked over to7billion.21)They forecast dramatic changes unless significant steps are taken to control population growth.Here are some challenges a population of7billion mustconfront.Water is probably going to be the first real threat that we bump into.Access to fresh water becomes incredibly difficult.We’re seeing the impacts of overuse of water resources and that sort of pressure mounts as the world population increases.22)What we’re putting into the atmosphere is going to lead to changes that haven’t been seen in millions of years.As the whole world warms up,a lot of places become very unpleasant to live in.23)We have to find less polluting sources of energy and be much more careful in the way that we make use of the remaining non-renewable fuels we’ve got.If we continue to tap the resources to meet the immediate economic demands，the supplies will run out in time.We still can’t imagine that one day we have to run the world from renewable energy resources.24)We’ve got some major health problems with the medical services to actually attack the diseases of old age.But the real problem is that the world population is growing fastest in the developing countries.How can we cope with a double of the population when they’re already dirt poor and only just getting enough to live on?25)Is it all doom and gloom(前景暗淡）as the experts suggest,or do we have a brighter future?A.Challenges range from water shortages to rising sea levels.B.Experts have painted a depressing future for life on Earth.C.All countries in the world will face the challenge of populationaging.D.Agriculture,a main consumer of water,may have to change its whole structure.E.f we hang on to them for a little bit,they’ll get more and more valuable in the future.F.The challenge of meeting the food needs of its ever-growing population isenormous.G.There will be much hotter temperatures,summer-time heat stress and risingsea levels.Section B（每小题1分）Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Please blacken the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.(10marks)A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patternsof young people,and it is surprising to discover at what an early age childrenstart expressing preferences for particular kind of books.A recent report，which26in detail the reading habits of primary-school children,showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have27views about what they want to read.Girls, in general,read more,and28more girls than boys preferred reading stories.Boys were showing a29for the more instant appeal of picture stories,or else books about their hobbies.These tastes continue30until the children are teenagers.Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular.You could say that there aremore31for girls to read fiction:magazines32the fiction habit in girls in their early teens,and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adultwomen’s magazines.Teenage boys33to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles,heavy transport and so on.Adult reading tastes are also the34of research.Again the number of women who read for pleasure is35higher than the number of men.It seemsthat the majority of women still want love stories.There has also been someanalysis

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Passage 1Ballet training in Russia begins at age nine or ten. Whatever the limitations of ballet in the Soviet Union, it is no wonder that Russian ballet dancers perform with ease leaps and lifts seldom attempted elsewhere, and that the standard of dancing in a Russian corps de ballet is far above that usually seen in other countries — nine years of ballet discipline is almost unheard of outside Russia.The period devoted to dance classes increases gradually from two or three hours a day to five or six. As in other institutions of higher learning, ballet students receive monthly government stipends in their last four years, varying from 160 to 200 rubles ($16 to $20). Of the thirty pupils to begin ballet each year, fewer than twenty-five usually graduate; the others drop out because of poor health or lack of ability.Upon graduation, the starting salary for members of a corps de ballet is 100 rubles a month, while prima ballerinas receive 6000. Russia’ most famous ballet company, the Bolshoi, has first pick of each graduating class, but few dancers have the good fortune to begin with this company;all graduates, however, are assured of jobs in ballet.Stars such as Ulanova were produced in this fashion, with training started early and security, if not intellectual independence, guaranteed.51. Ballet training in Russia begins when a child _______ .A. begins schoolB. is in the primary schoolC. finishes his academic workD. can walk52. Long training has enabled Russian ballet dancers to _______ .A. give unusually long performancesB. develop new ballet figuresC. perform leaps and lifts seldom seen elsewhereD. overcome the limitations of ballet in the U.S.S.R.53. According to the selection, Russian corps de ballet have _______ .A. unusually high standards of dancingB. greater discipline than the companies in any other countryC. more applicants than corps de ballet companiesD. more professional dancers than most ballet companies54. The students who graduate are assured of _______ .A. economic securityB. intellectual independenceC. 6000 rubles a monthD. both A and BPassage 2For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the tediousness out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In American, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a “bachelor” apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation.But all this freedom and affluence(富裕) have had an unforeseen and in some aspects a devastating effect on marriage.55. In the U. S., families are becoming _________.A. biggerB. simplerC. healthierD. poorer56. Women are able to achieve economic independence because ______.A. they have their own salaryB. convenient foods are availableC. they are free from tedious houseworkD. they are college graduates57. Hard housework was taken away by _________.A. liberated womenB. retired parentsC. supermarketsD. modern equipment58. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A. Women’s liberation has made it possible for them to study.B. Comfortable life adversely influences marriage in America.C. Adults can go wherever they want.D. Women prefer to be bachelors.Passage 3No author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835,he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of “Mark Twain”. The two novels brought him his greatest fame: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started .At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, was an immediate success and his new life began.In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. His wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talkson different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was then 74 years old.59.

系别 年级 学制 班级 姓名 学号----------------------------装--------------------------订----------------------线-----------------------------Part I Reading Comprehension (20×2’=40’)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question, “Whyd id she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars. 1. The Vienna survey may help to explain __________.A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the causes of Mrs. Groeger ’s deathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general 2. The second paragraph lists some ___________.A. disadvantage of walkingB. occasions for walking in city lifeC. problems of city livingD. comments made by city people 3. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful ___________. A. to take the elevator B. to walk up the stairs C. to ride in a car D. to find an alternative walking 4. People who live in the country usually do more driving than walking because ___________.A. they don ’t live near business areasB. they don ’t need exerciseC. they don ’t like walkingD. they can ’t afford to take the bus5. We can draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.A. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to citiesD. walking is a healthful exercise Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.The Bedouin people, a tribe living in the deserts of Arabia and Northern African, think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one ’s family and tribe.The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors (祖先). They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They especially respect those who have inherited (继承) a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.A man ’s position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If theyare honored, he is also honored. If they are disagreed, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guardsthe honor of his family and his tribe. A man can protect his family ’s honors by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman onlylooks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue (美德).6. The best title for this passage can be __________. A. Life of the Bedouin People B. Women ’s Position in the Bedouin Family C. Bedouin People ’s Idea of Loyalty and Honor D. How to Guard Honors7. The Bedouin people think most highly of one who is ______.A. devoted to his country and his leaderB. from an ordinary familyC. proud of his ancestor and relativesD. faithful to his family and tribe 8. It is learned from the passage that ___________.A. a hero from an honored family is more admiredB. one can not live in the tribe without a good family nameC. all the Bedouin people are kind, brave and generousD. family traditions can never be passed to children 9. The word “disgraced ” (Para. 3) means “______________”.A. disappearedB. disappointedC. dishonoredD. discouraged 10. It is implied in the passage that the Bedouin women are __________.A. treated as the equals of menB. respected for what they doC. not interested in positionD. not respected as much as men Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Up until about 100 years ago, newspaper in the United States attracted only the most serious readers. They used no illustrations (插图) and the articles were about politics or business.Two men changed that--Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal. Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals wheremadmen were kept. In 1895, Hearst came to New York from California. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World. He also wanted it to be cheaper, so he lowered the price by a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper heading were bigger than anyone else ’s. He often said, “Big print makes bignews.” Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspaper. For example, Hearst sent Frederic系别 年级 学制 班级 姓名 学号----------------------------装--------------------------订----------------------线-----------------------------Remington, the famous illustrator, to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he toldHearst that no fighting was going on. Hearst answered, “ You provide the pictures. I ’ll provide the war. 11.

HearstB. RemingtonC. PulitzerD. A woman reporter 15. This passage tells us that ________.A. Pulitzer and Hearst were the most famous reporters of the United StatesB. newspaper owners sometimes hired mad men as their news reportersC. the world and the journal were not popular newspaper at that timeD. Pulitzer and Hearst used every possible means to win over each other Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.It is hard to imagine life without Arabic numbers(数字). No other number system ever invented has a simple way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numeral, it comes out like this MCMLXXXIV . Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals ”. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazine then, somathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:” The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry. Rice and many other plants were grown in fields with water supplied by Arab engineers. The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings.” At this time, London was a small town with dirty streets, and Berlin was a farming village. In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.16. This passage tells us that the Arabs were a people _______________.A. inventing Roman numeralsB. having advanced technology long agoC. growing corn and many other plants thenD. supplying other countries with colorful silk 17. It takes much more efforts to ___________.A. learn Roman numerals than Arab numeralsB. introduce numerals through printed materialsC. make great use of silk roadsD. teach businessmen numerals 18. The Arabs call their numerals “ Indian numerals ” because _________. A. the numerals are mainly used in China B. they copied numerals from IndiansC. Arabic numerals were first used by Indian businessmenD. they got some ideas about number from the ancient Indians 19. According to the passage, the Arab people ___________. A. did business with the IndiansB. learned some ideas about business from IndiansC. built public baths in London in the 10th centuryD. traveled a long way to learn mathematics in Rome 20.

London was under the rule of the Romans in the 10th century C. the Arab world was more advanced than other countries around D.

Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It´s an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels,with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it,you step up onto the platform,and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that,you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forcesuse Seg-ways,too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They´ re also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer,sit outside a cafe for a while and there´ s a good chance you’ll see a group of tourists passing on Segways.第21题What is the Segway according to this passage?A.A pole that connects two handlebars.B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.C.A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D.An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.第22题How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A.Lean to the left.B.Adjust the twist grip.C.Press the left bar.D.Control the gyroscope.第23题How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A.Less than 19 km.B.About 19 km.C.About 38 km.D.More than 38 km.第24题The last paragraph focuses on______.A.what a Segway is likeB.where to find a SegwayC.how to control a SegwayD.when a Segway is useful上一题下一题(25~28/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part.

Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate(房地产)agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John´s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once. The owner,in urgent need of money,wanted to accept the second offer.Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives,though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house.One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick,even lost interest in her routine coffee. She put all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was,and as she passed by it,she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the houses. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the houses as they were building a highway and the whole row of houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.第25题Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn´ t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn´t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.第26题How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regret.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.第27题What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.第28题What does the phrase "a blessing in disguise" in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luck.B.A dirty trick.C.A secret wish.D.A false alarm.上一题下一题(29~32/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease,but we do always get the same questions in advance of a trip.So here I will give you some travel tips. What should I wear?If you´ re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it—the desert gets chilly at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time,pack as if you´re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies,bathing suits are normal if there´ s a pool where you ´ re going, but leave the string bikini at home—it is a Muslim country,after all. Last,if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt,ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow,and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head,and your body temperature will feel like it´s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera,sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it—AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure,but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine. What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called " Pharoah´s Revenge". The thing that knocks out Pharoah´ s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine,and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box. DON´T drink local water,DO drink bottled water,avoid the skins of fresh vegetables,and you’ll be fine.第29题What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.String bikinis.B.Long-sleeve clothes.C.Bathing suits.D.Shorts.第30题What´ s the use of an Evian Mister?A.To relieve your thirst.B.To prevent sunburns.C.To cool yourself down.D.To drive away insects.第31题What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone doesn´ t work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.第32题What does "Pharoah´ s Revenge" probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curse.B.A legend.C.A disease.D.A vegetable.上一题下一题(33~36/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were on our day off and out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic,so when lunch time came,we set our sights on a small park in town. Since we all had different tastes,we decided to split up,get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.When my friends Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog,just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him,the man surprised us."It looks a bit smaller on the cool side, "he said, "so never mind paying me. This will be my freebie of the day. "We said our thanks,joined our friends in the park,and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate,I noticed a man sitting alone nearby,looking at us. I could tell that he hadn´ t showered for days. Another homeless person,I thought,like all the others you see in cities. I didn´ t pay much more attention than that.We finished eating and decided to head -off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a strong voice, " There isn´ t any food in that bag,is there?"It was the man who had been watching us. I didn´ t know what to say. "No,I ate it already. " "Oh,"was his only answer, with no shame in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn´ t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.I felt bad for the man,but I didn´t know what I could do. That´ s when Robby said, "I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute," and ran off. I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog,crossed back to the garbage can,and gave the hungry man the food.When she came back to us, Robby said simply," I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. "第33题Why did the seller offer Robby a free hot dog?A.It was offered for a large order.B.The hot dog didn´t look big enough.C.It was a special favor to a lady customer.D.The seller gave away a free hot dog every day.第34题Which word best describes the homeless man?A.Angry.B.Untidy.C.Sensitive.D.Impolite.第35题Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A.She wanted to thank the hot dog seller.B.The homeless man asked her for a hot dog.C.She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless man.D.The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another.第36题What is the theme of this passage?A.The rich should help the poor.B.One good turn deserves another.C.Kindness is the greatest wisdom.D.A kindness shown,a kindness sown.上一题下一题(37~40/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Whatever you do,don´t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been,in order from 1 to 9. People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp´ s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu´ s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the number disappears. Then,instead of remembering the numbers,he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example,a person may see the number "5"as the color blue. Until now,scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu´ s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.第37题What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in a memory game.第38题Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011 conference.第39题Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experiment.B.From a conference.C.From a research on chimpanzees.D.From the color blue.第40题How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu´ s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.上一题下一题(41~55/共15题)Part IV ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D].

DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one "word" means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technique wasn’t limited in use.1.When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?A.In 1860.B. In 1953.C. In 1961.D. In 2000.2.What does the underlined word "gene" mean?A.The "map" of DNA.B. A special language.C. Small parts of DNA.D. DNA.3.What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?A. The "map" of DNA.B. A new illness.C. The language of DNA.D. A message of DNA.4. What can we do if we understand some "words" of the language inside the body?A. Make people get new jobs.B. Make medicine for illnesses.C. Make maps of human.D. Make people less attractive.5. What do people think about this work?A. It can cause good or bad results.B. It can cause only good results.C. It can cause good results but won’t work.D. It can cause only bad results.Passage twoI find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装) in this country.When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.There is hardly anything we buy that doesn't come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in.A lot of things we buy wouldn't really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren't satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is.A box of biscuits often has waxed paper(蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it.A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather it was covered with. She liked it so much she didn't want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it.We may never again see the leather she's protecting.6. According to the author, the use of protective wrappings______.A．can be wasteful and unnecessary B．makes everything look funnyC．gives people more work to do D．is a practice against natural life7. How does the writer feel when he unpacks the food from the supermarket? A．Surprised B．Interested C．Frightened D．Excited8. What can be the best protective wrapping for the orange?A．Plastic B．A net bag C．Its own skin D．A paper bag9. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to______A．the food B．the waxed paperC．the cardboard box D．the decorative wrapping10. What does the author think of his relative who bought a sofa?A. she should not buy a leather sofaB. she should not cover her sofa with a clothC. she should not allow the leather cover to get dirtyD. she should not forbid the visitors to see the leather.Passage threeTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that wom en’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.11. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient_______.A．China B．Egypt C．Greece D．Rome12. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A．No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella wasB．The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sunC．The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth centuryD．In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.13. A strange feature of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as__________ A．protection against rain B．a shade against the sunC．a symbol of honor and power D．women’s decoration (装饰)14. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain_______________.A. during the Middle AgesB. by the 18thC. in Rome D .in Greece15.

What message does the writer want to convey in this passage?A Divorce often has disastrous consequences.B Happiness is hard to find in blended families.C The piety of the family relation should be respected in the highest degree.D Love is the base of family relationship especially in blended families.Passage TwoLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltagetransformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate agenuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.36. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ________.A generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC are often influenced by previous generationsD all unknowingly attract a large number of fans37. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ________.A they have a vision from the mountaintopB they have warm feelings and emotionsC they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD they can make people feel stronger and more confident38. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________.A they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB their performances do not improve their fans morallyC their primary concern is their own financial interestsD they are not clear about the principles they should follow39. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ________.A are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB can move the masses with their forceful speechesC are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD can provide an answer to the problems of their people40. The author concludes that historical changes would ________.A be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC take place ff there were heroes to lead the peopleD produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage ThreeKaren and Ken Mullin, a young professional couple in Cleveland, own fifty Coo kbooks and two fully equipped kitchens in their house. Yet they rarely cook their Own meals; instead, on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket And choose two portions of meat loaf and a container of ready-to-serve potatoes "My Job," says Karen "is to poor the salad from the bag."A half-century after the first TV dinner was born, the food industry is approachi ng its long-sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins of unpaid labor in the fin al, and arguably most profitable, step by which a cow gets turned into meat loaf. Incre asingly, tables in America's kitchens are used not for cuttingor peeling but for putting takeout food onto plates. For those who even bother with plates. According to HarryB lazer, an influential food-industry researcher, American dinners that came from a take out counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade, "We thought the microwave w ould be a cooking device," says Harry Blazer, "but we find it reheating takeout pizza."Across the United States, entire business models are being transformed. superm arket takeout counters, formerly a place where unsold chickens were courted with sau ce, increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias, with sushi bars and stir-fly stations.One psychologist thinks the trend toward healthier eating is responsible: Amer icans have finally gotten the message that it's bad to eat fried chicken, so they’re doing it at home where no one can see them.Of course, thee are people you wouldn't expect to cook at home, like Steve Tra xler, an unmarried Chicago theater producer, whose refrigerator contains little more th an orange juice, wine and leftovers.Well, somebody must be using those cookbooks, right? "people don't have time t o cook; I think they're reading them in bed," says Rozanne Gold, author of a cookboo k.It's not entirely a question of time. The takeout fashion is fueled, in part, by th e popularity of foods like sushi, which even adventuresome American cooks are unlik ely to try to make at home. And takeout fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of the home-cooked dinner.41. From the text we a 1a that the Mullins______.A are experienced in cookingB are expert at food shoppingC often go dining out at a restaurantD often eat ready-made food at home42. The food industry is approaching its final goal of________.A freeing people of cooking at homeB turning cows into meat loaf far peopleC relieving itself of unpaid labor for peopleD providing people with delicious TV dinners43. We a infer from the text that some Americans .A are too busy to cut or palB are too bay to use their tablesC do not even are their platesD do not even use the microwave44. Supermarket takeout counters _______.A have sushi bas ad stir-fry stations nowB used to process the lea-ova food fo r saleC cooperate with high-end corporation cafeteriasD used to court chickens of i nferior with sauce45. Takeout food is not only convenient but also enables Americans to ______.A avoid taking unhealthy foodB follow the trend of eating outC enjoy eating together at homeD have time to improve their cooking\Passage FourFaced with a mission-critical decision, who would you turn to for advice? Someone you have great confidence in, surely. But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to turn to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice, including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who—as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are. In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University, for example, I found that people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they're addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments, subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in variouspictures, some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear. For each picture, subjects guessed twice: the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant. When the pictures were in focus, we found, subjects tended to discount the advice; apparently, they were confident in their ability to guess correctly. When the pictures were unclear, subjects leaned heavily on the advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion. Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received-—consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall. They would have done better if they'd considered the advice equally, and to a moderate degree, on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice-related prejudice I've found compels people to overvalue advice that they pay for. In one study I conducted, subjects answered different sets of questions about American history. Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were. In one version of the experiment, people could get advice for free, while in another version, they paid for it. When they paid for advice, peopletended to have firm belief in it, I suspect, by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked.46.In the face of a mission-critical decision, people tend to_______.A．trust their own effortsB．rely on research findingsC．get affected by other's opinionD．seek help from the more knowledgeable47.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often ______.A discount others' adviceB overlook others' adviceC disagree with others' adviceD over-rely on others' advice48. The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions ______.A strengthen people's initial opinionB strengthen people's self-confidenceC influence people's response to adviceD influence people's guess of weight loss49. It can be inferred that people are likely to ______.A undervalue free adviceB overvalue peer's adviceC misinterpret specialist adviceD misjudge their instinctual belief50. The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal ______.A how to follow others' adviceB how to understand others' adviceC what causes people to seek adviceD what affects people's attitude to advicePart III Cloze（20 point）It is always a little sad to say goodbye to a long-time friend you are leaving forever, a __51__you have spent many hours with, in all sorts of__52____.

2012年“专升本”考试《大学英语》模拟试卷Listening comprehension （20 points）(略)I. ReadingPassage 1Teaching involves more than leadership. Some of the teacher's time and effort is directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an efficient organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals. Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group, no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages cooperation.Standards and rules must be established that maintain order, ensure justice and protect individual rights, but do not contradict school policy. What happens when one student hurts another's individual rights? Without clear guidelines mutually agreeable to students, teachers, and administration, the classroom can become chaotic. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without input from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in mining the class environment finding ways to break rules.No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and establishing a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance is necessary. Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or athletic contests, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to restore a positive environment by helping students cope with conflict, change, and stress.1. This article is written mainly for the purpose of———————.A. providing information for teachingB. studying the teacher's behavior in the classroomC. comparing the teacher's behaviors with students'D. teaching and organizing a class2. The teacher, to some extent, is a leader because _______.A. he is responsible for a well-organized class and a good learning environmentB. he deals with students in the same way as a leader deals with peopleC. he should develop harmony among studentsD. he has to maintain order and give instruction and evaluation3.

Students need the teacher just as sheep need a shepherd.Passage 2In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds-- even thousands - of miles out at sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rains, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy potential of the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea — the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.6. An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane whenA. it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seasB. it has reached the coastlineC. it is more than 75 miles wideD. its winds reach 75 miles per hour7. What is the worst thing about a hurricane?A. The destructive effects of water.B. The heat it releases.C. That it lasts about nine days on the average.D. It's strong winds.8. The counter-clockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about byA. the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB. the force of waves of waterC. the trade windsD. the increasing heat9. The word "downpour" in para. 3 means ______.A. heavy rainfallB. dangerous wavesC. the progress of water to the hurricane centerD. the energy produced by the hurricane10. In a hurricane _____ is/are the main cause of death.A. the energy and heat it releasesB. the strong windsC. downpoursD. the warm airPassage 3Each year in the never-ending cycle of death and regeneration, the rains sweep across southern Asia. Between June and October strange sea winds surge over the land, drenching (浸湿) the earth with torrential downpours. This is the monsoon - a familiar word often taken to mean a violent windstorm, but in fact referring to a tumultuous (狂暴的) season of recurring rains.The monsoon is close to the very soul of the people it touches-, it permeates (渗入) the lives of the people and effects everything they do. India is especially dominated by it For three months before the monsoon rains arrive, the heat is intense, unbearable: the earth itself is dead; fanners cannot work the stone-hard fields., bare subsistence (生存) is difficult. With the rains, everything suddenly changes - India bursts into life again; fields that seemed hopelessly barren turn green and grow wildly.The rich new season is one of beauty, but to the peasant it is a beauty shot through with possible disaster. Overflowing with the great rains, the Ganges River (恒河) moves relentlessly to the sea, hiding beneath its shining but deceptive calm the horror of fields and homes overcome by flood. The horror of flood and cyclone (旋风) ridesalways with the monsoon clouds when they come to redeem the land. The peasants have no resource but resignation.11. The monsoon is correctly described as a ______A. torrential downpourB. violent windstormC. season of recurring rainsD. violent thunderstorm12. The monsoon is said to be "close to the very soul of the people it touches" because＿＿＿＿A. it plays a significant role in Asian religionsB. it is destructiveC. the people are resigned to itD. it affects all aspects of their lives13. The peasants consider the monsoon a bearer of_______.A. beautyB. fertilityC. dangerD. all of the above14. The peasant's reaction to the monsoon is _______.A. resignationB. hope that the next year will be betterC. JoyD. relief15. Implied but not stated _______.A. India is the only country affected by the monsoonB. monsoons seldom affect people in temperate climatesC. after the floods subside, the great heat will begin againD. the monsoon completely permeates the lives of peoplePassage 4What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to earth. The earth's gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Why doesn't rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute (W' ^). Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight. To the casual observer, they seem to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall. The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/2,5oo inch diameter. It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at all. Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called “coalescence”16. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The mechanics of rainB. The climate of North AmericaC. How gravity affects agricultureD. Types of clouds17. Why don't all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to earth.?A. they are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets.B. The effect of gravity at high altitude is random.C. They are kept aloft by air currentsD. The heat from the sun's rays melts them.18. What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 1/125 inch indiameter?.A. They never occur.B. They are not affected by the force of gravityC. In still air they would fall to earthD. In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.19. In this passage, what does the term "coalescence” refer to?A. The gathering of small clouds to form cloudsa. The growth of droplets.C. The fall of raindrops and other precipitation.D. The movement of dust particles in the sunlight.20. What is the diameter of the average cloud droplet?A. 1/16 inchB. 1/125 inchC. 1/2,500 inchD. One millionth of an inch II Vocabulary and Structure21.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1“If you want to see a thing wel l, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that aglass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. T o see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touc h. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is n ot easy to feel thesethings”? Because________ .A. the things are used by people, tooB. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the thingsD. the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A. Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying hig h prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67.

What is the problem with a “Bug”?A. It does not go smoothly.B. It is not comfortable in winter.C. It splashes mud and water.D. It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration?A. They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B. Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C. It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you________.A. should know the ways to study other landsB. should know the four big reasons given in the passageC. may study the different types of clothing people wearD. may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to ________ in public.A. wear more clothes than menB. cover their faces with veilsC. protect their faces from being hurtD. wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A. Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B. Cotton is the common material for clothing.C. Man made materials are invented to make clothes.D. Most people like silk clothes.74. The third reason for difference in clothing is________ .A. different materialsB. different ways of making clothesC. different styles of dressingD. different religions75. The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show________ .A. the effect of customs on dressing styleB. the function of wearing straw hatC. the correct way of wearing straw hatD. the long history of some customsPassage 4Pressure Cooker (高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you shouldlearn a few common sense (常识) rules:1.

2013年江苏省五年一贯制专转本英语试题PartⅠReading Comprehension(每题2分，共30分)Directions : there are 3 reading passages in this part . Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A , B , C and D choose the best answer to each questionPassage oneOn June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole "map" of the human body: DNA. DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named "genes" in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one "word" means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and findout lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasn’t limited in use.1.When did we first know why we look like other people in our family?A.In 1860.B. In 1953.C. In 1961.D. In 2000.2.What does the underlined word "gene" mean?A.The "map" of DNA.B. A special language.C. Small parts of DNA.D. DNA.3.What did the two scientists first discover in 1961?A. The "map" of DNA.B. A new illness.C. The language of DNA.D. A message of DNA.4. What can we do if we understand some "words" of the language inside the body?A. Make people get new jobs.B. Make medicine for illnesses.C. Make maps of human.D. Make people less attractive.5. What do people think about this work?A. It can cause good or bad resutls.B. It can cause only good results.C. It can cause good results but won’t work.D. It can cause only bad results.Passage twoI find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装) in this country.When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.There is hardly anything we buy that doesn't come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put thepackages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in.A lot of things we buy wouldn't really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren't satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is.A box of biscuits often has waxed paper(蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping aroundit.A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather (皮革) it was covered with. She liked it so much she didn't want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it.We may never again see the leather she's protecting.6、According to the author, the use of protective wrappings______. A．can be wasteful and unnecessary B．makes everything look funny C．gives people more work to do D．is a practice against natural life7、How does the writer feel when he unpacks the food from the supermarket? A．Surprised B．Interessted C．frightened D．excited8、what can be the best protective wrapping for the orange?A．Plastic B．A net bag C．its own skin D．A paper bag9、the underlined word”it” in paragraph 5 refers to______A．the food B．the waxed paperC．the cardboard box D．the decrative wrapping10、what does the author think of his relative who bought a sofa?A、she should not buy a leather sofaB、she should not cover her sofa with a clothC、she should not allow the leather cover to get dirtyD、she should not forbid the visitors to see the leather.Passage threeTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in veryancient times . Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century B C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high officeIn Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient RomansDuring the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in EnglandBy the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout mostof Europe. Umbrellas have hot changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made , in a whole variety of colors 11、According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient_______.A．China B．Egypt C．Greece D．Rome12、Which of the following statements is not true about the umbrella?A．No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella wasB．The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun C．The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth centuryD．In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. 13、A strange feature of the um brella’s use is that it was used as__________ A．protection against rain B．a shade against the sunC．a symbol of honor and power D．women’s decoration (装饰)14、In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain_______________.A. during the Middle AgesB. by the 18thC. in Rome D .in Greece15、This passage talks mainly about_______________.A．when and how the umbrella was inventedB．why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC．the development of the umbrellaD．The history and use of the umbrellaPart Ⅱvocabulary and structure(每题1分，共15分)Directions : for each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A、B、C and D. choose the one answer that best completes the sentence.16、Bob would have helped us yesterday, but he __________A、was busyB、is busyC、had been busyD、will be busy17、It was from only a few supplies that she had bought in the village__________the hostess cooked such a nice dinner.A、whereB、thatC、whenD、which18、---Is it all right if I keep this photo?---__________A、No,you don’tB、No,it should’tC、I’m afraid notD、Don’t keep it19、My mother opended drawer to __________the knives and spoons.A、put awayB、put upC、put onD、put together20、Barbara is easy to recognize as she’s the only one of the women who __________evening dress.A、wearB、wearsC、has wornD、have worn21、though ________ to see us,the professor gave us a warm welcome.A、surprisingB、was surprisedC、surprisedD、being surprised22、The island is________ attractive in spring and autumn because of the pleasant weather in both seasons.A、partlyB、merelyC、nearlyD、equally23、________ I always felt I would pass the exam ,I never thought I would get an AA、whileB、onceC、ifD、until24、Bicycling is good exercise; ________ , it does not pollute the air.A、neverthelessB、besidesC、otherwiseD、therefore25、everyone in the village is very friendly, it doesn’t matter ________ you have lived there for a short or a long time.A、whyB、howC、whetherD、when26、---Can I help you with it ?---I appreciate your ________ , but I can manage it myself.A、adviceB、questionC、offerD、idea27、sophia waited for a reply , but ________came.A、eitherB、anotherC、neitherD、none28、---Don’t worry ,mun.
