第二篇短文后有5个正、误判断题，请选择T或F.Passage OneIt has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.6．What is soap opera?CA：Plays based on science fiction stories.B：Plays based on non-fiction stories.C：The daytime serial dramas on TV.D：Popular documentary films on TV.7．What can be the best title of the passage?CA：College student viewers.B：Favorite TV serials.C：Soap opera fans.D：College-age viewers.8．Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ?DA：Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B：Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C：Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D：Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.9．What can we learn from the passage? _____C____A：College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B：Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C：young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D：The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.10．What message does the author want to convey to us? __B______A：The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B：The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.C：The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D：The people's favorites have changed the drama works.Passage TwoMartin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.11．Martin Luther King was murdered when he was 39 years old.A：TB：F12．Martin Luther King was a black minister only.A：TB：F13．Martin Luther King's Day has been a federal holiday for more than 40 years.A：TB：F14．The underlined word "delivered" in the second paragraph could be replaced by "gave".A：TB：F15．The best title for this passage is "Civil Rights Law".A：TB：F第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）此部分共有5个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确选项。

The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind2 Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic foods they need to get their v itamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in.3 What foods supply what vitamins Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certainfruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1. Our body needs ___A___ for life and health.A) small amounts of each vitamin B) extra vitaminsC) all vitamins except vitamin D D) large amounts of certain vitamins2. C Vitamin A is needed by___C_ and can be found in ______.A) bones, pork B) nervous system, milkC) eyes, green vegetables D) teeth, meats3. A Vitamin B1 is very important to __A____.A) the digestive system B) bones C) liver D) skin4. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need DA) They will do great harm to our body. B) We get all the vitamins needed.C) Our body will function more properly. D) Our body simply gets rid of them.5. The passage has probably been taken from _B_____.A) a sports magazine B) a journal of medical scienceC) an aged magazine D) a youth journalPassage Two1 Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.2 In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, “What is the difference in taste”3The leader said, “The second time the milk tastes terrible.” “That is because of the water added to the milk,” said the king.“The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will s poil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it. “It tastes sweet,” said the king.4The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said, “Oh, ki ng！That is how we would like to live here：as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him the king granted them perm ission to stay.6. The leader of the Jews went to the king because ___C_____ for life and health.A) they wanted to ask directions B) they wanted to drink some milk C) they wanted to live there D) they wanted to go through the kingdom7. Why was the king hesitant AA) Because he was suspicious of the foreigners.B) Because in those days any foreigner was viewed as a bad guy.C) Because he thought the Jews would rob them of their milk.D) Because Jews were not trusty.8. The king asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk added with water just to show that __B______.A) the taste was terrible B) if the Jews joined them, they would destroy the countryC) the taste was different from the pure milk D) the taste was sweet9. The underlined word “dilutes” means _____D___.A) reduce B) weaken C) make less delicious D) make (a liquid) thinner by adding another liquid such as water10.

D) Because he sometimes overslept.15. Who is Hiroyuki BA) A scientist. B) A company worker. C) An inventor. D) A carpenter.Passage 41 Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We tell them that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance will meet with our approval.2 When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie, my youngest third-grader，he was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake3 I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared of making mistake.4 Then one morning we were working math problems at the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.5 Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister of pencils.6“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. She placed the pencils on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn That's because we make mistakes too, lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”7She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one pencil to you so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.8The pencil became Donnie’s prize. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.16. In the author’s opinion, we should consider failures _C_______.A) a shame可耻的 B) mistakes错误的 C) acceptable可接受的 D) accessible方便的17. Donnie is a perfectionist, which means he __A______.A) cannot afford any mistakes B) often makes mistakes C) is always perfect D) seldom makes any mistakes18. Mary Anne was puzzled by Donnie because __D______.A) he bit his nails B) he adored her C) he made mistakes in math problems D) his fear of making mistakes19. Mary changed Donnie after ___A_____.A) giving him a pencil B) kneeling beside him and lifting his face from his armsC) persuading hi m that it’s ok to make mistakes D) erasing his mistakes20. This article tells us that __D______.A) the influence of a teacher is important to a student老师的影响是重要的一个学生B) there are growing pains in a student’s life这是一个学生的生命成长的烦恼C) you should erase your mistakes and try again你应该删除你的错误并再次尝试D) making mistakes is not such a big deal, as long as you try again 犯错并不是什么大不了的，只要你再试试。

大学英语(2)期末考试复习资料模拟题

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.1.

Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 196 0s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to s tart and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain“k ey”times in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an a greed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, a voidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability t o be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers’point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the worker a greater s ense of duty.11.According to the passage, the _________invented the “flexible working hours”.A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British12. The phrase “catch on”(in Para. 1) most probably means ________ _.A. understandB. become popularC. perceiveD. seize13.

Which one is NOT an advantage of “flextime”for employers?A. A better balance between working and private life.B. It reduces labor turnover.C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.D. It tends to increase productivity.15. The author _________“flextime”according to the passage.A. supportsB. is againstC. criticizesD. hatesPassage 3Human beings, however, have something that no animal has. Human beings have the ability to express their actions, feelings and ideas through words. They can also write words down in order to communicat e past events and to send messages to people far away.Even though some birds have learned to repeat words, they d o not understand the meaning of the words, and therefore they cannot use them to communicate ideas.How did man first learn to speak? Perhaps we shall never k now. However, we do know that as man’s knowledge increased he needed to use more sounds in order to express a greater number of feelin gs and ideas. It became necessary for him to communicate about a gr eater number of things. He began to make more and more different so unds, and gradually he put these sounds together to form, first, wor ds, then groups of words, and then sentences. In different parts of t he world, people developed their own systems of sounds and words. To day, we call these systems ”languages”.There are now about five thousand different languages and di alects in the world, and each of them contains many thousands of wo rds.16. Why can’t some birds use words to communicate ideas though they have learned to repeat them?A. Because they don’t understand the meaning of the words.B. Because they cannot put them into sentences.C. Because they cannot remember them.D. Because they don’t often use them.17. How did human beings first learn languages?A. Maybe nobody will know.B. Surely we’ll know later.C. Certainly nobody knows.D. Perhaps we have known.18. Why did man need to use more sounds as man’s knowledge increase d?A. In order to form words.B. In order to communicate about more things.C. In order to develop a language.D. In order to sing songs.19. What are languages?A. They are sounds.B. They are w ords.C. They are systems of sounds and words.D. They are letters.20. How many languages are there in the world?A. 15, 000.B. 5,000.C. 500.D. 50,000. Passage 4Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how the y could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, stree ts, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realized fully what Ed ison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too import ant to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would ha ve led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edision’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their l ights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than any one else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.21.

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Air port at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline（轮廓）of Manhattan（曼哈顿）for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restauran t near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures(手势), but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing t he man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights（霓虹灯）, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to talk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted（筋疲力尽）, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens（警笛声）during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.1. On the way to his hotel, the writer______.a. was silent all the timeb. kept talking to his friendc. looked out of the window with great interestd. showed his friend something he brought with him2. He did not have what he really wanted, because _______.a. he only made some gesturesb. he did not order at allc. he could not make himself understoodd. the waiter was unwilling to serve3. The writer _______________.a. knew what he would orderb. finally understood what he saidc. took the order through his gesturesd. served the same thing the man at the next table was having4. After dinner, he____________.a. walked back to the hotel right awayb. went to the moviesc. did some shopping on Broadwayd. had a walking tour about the city5. That night he could not sleep, because ___________.a. he did not know what to do the next dayb. he was not tired at allc. he was thinking about this great cityd. he kept hearing the fire and police sirens( 2 )People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. Ithought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的）communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.6. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?a. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castles.b. The castle is more important than the home.c. The home is more important than the castle.d. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.7. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes?a. They can make changes in houses in which they live.b. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.c. They can own private space like the house and the garden.d. They love houses more than gardens.8. According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means ______.a. you want to tell others the space belongs to youb. you want to put your coat on the tablec. you can find no space for your books on the seatd. you want to spread your towels around you further9. How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table?a. He placed his briefcase on the table.b. He sat in a section for four people.c. He was traveling on a train to London.d. He was reading a book.10. The writer tried to get back his space by ______.a. taking up the space of the man oppositeb. taking all his papers outc. moving the case off the tabled. showing the books concerned to the man阅读：1-5 ccddd 6-10ddaaa二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.”The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.（10分）9f6ac6de-dfbb-single(1) What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? （2分）A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.5127b094-10b0-single(2) What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? （2分）A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C.Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D.It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.7792a796-f0a8-single(3) What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the courses of asteroids? （2分）A.It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B.It may create more problems than it might solve.C.It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.a1a4f8da-dafb-single(4) We can conclude from the passage that ________. （2分）A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC.the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth66ab51da-9a7e-single(5) Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage? （2分）A.Optimistic.B.Critical.C.Objective.D.Arbitrary.6d5b056c-ab04-compose2. Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything i n life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words de eply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with anincome of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. （10分）e6559faa-ad6b-single(1) What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______. （2分）A.caringB.movingC.encouragingD.interesting449109e0-9cc9-single(2) According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again? （2分）A.Doctors.B.Nurses.C.Friends.D.Mom.6ddcc852-965d-single(3) What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself? （2分）A.His terrible experience in the hotel.B.His previous business success of various levels.C.His mom’s support.D.His wife’s suggestion.6b8bba53-9c3e-single(4) Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?（2分）A.Modest, helpful, and hard-working.B.Loving, supportive and strong-willed.C.Careful, helpful and beautiful.D.Strict, sensitive and supportive.0a71e48b-2dcb-single(5) Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage? （2分）A.Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.B.Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.C.Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.D.Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, h igher education and opportunities.7c3ee939-b4aa-compose3. Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees’ error s, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football’s international r uling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insi stence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. （10分）082233f4-10cc-single(1) The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to________. （2分）A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB.analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC.set a standard for football refereeingD.reexamine the rules for football refereeing8950dde8-f3bd-single(2) The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was ________. （2分）A.slightly above averageB.higher than in the 1998 World CupC.quite unexpectedD.as high as in a standard matchf999394e-4bf9-single(3) The findings of the experiment show that ________. （2分）A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB.the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC.the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurD.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot2c978619-b52e-single(4) The word “officials” (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to ________. （2分）A.the researchers involved in the experimentB.the inspectors of the football tournamentC.the referees of the football tournamentD.the observers at the site of the experiment4cf84e0f-a59b-single(5) What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? （2分）A.The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C.A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.6ab0048e-ae67-compose4. One day Mari lla said, “Anne, your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday. She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time.

When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the ex amination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings an d at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.” “It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.” “When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile.“You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was secretl y very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. Anne needs new dresses to take toCharlottetown. （10分）6304d8e6-9d24-single(1) Which of the following statements is true? （2分）A.To be a teacher was one of Annes’ dreams.B.Both Anne and Diana studied hard for the special examination.C.Matthew and Marilla were Anne’s parents.D.Anne was adopted by Matthew and Marilla.83967b51-e682-single(2) Why are Anne and Gilbert enemies?

In most of our US and Canadian offices, we’ll rent you cars of high quality for seven days for $99. You can drive as far as you like without paying us a penny over the $99 as long as you return the car to the city from which you rented it. Insurance (保险) is included, gas is not. If you rent the car in Florida or in California, the rate is the same, but you can return the car to any city in the state. If you’d like some suggestions on what to do with the car once you’vegot it, we have driving and touring guides for almost every part of the country. No matter which rate you choose, the company comes at no extra cost. You don’t just rent a car. You rent a company!1.

The purpose of the passage is to advertise ________.A. car-renting services in the USB. a special rate of car-rentingC. the advantages of car-rentingD. a US car-renting companyThe key: BDACBPassage 2Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation.This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens.In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space.So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces.Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.1. According to the passage, Los Angeles is a city where _________.A. there is no public transportation systemB. more money is spent on highways for carsC. more money is spent on public transportation systemsD. public transportation is more developed than in other cities2. ―The city grew outward instead of upward‖ (Li ne 1, Para.2) means _________.A. the city became more spread out instead of growing tallerB. there were fewer small houses than tall buildingsC. rapid development took place in the city centerD. many tall buildings could be found in the city.3.

The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the construction of parking spaces in Los AngelesB. the new growth pattern of the city of Los AngelesC. the public transportation system in Los AngelesD. the problem of traffic jams in Los AngelesThe key: BABBBPassage 3As working women continue to receive better and better wages，housewives still work at home without receiving paychecks. Should a woman who works at home，doing the housework and caring for children，be paid for her services ? In a 1986 study at Cornell University，it was found that the value of the services of a housewife average $11,600 a year. This rate was basedon a family composed of a husband，wife，and three young children. The$11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife's household work. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to government guidelines(方针)for least amounts of wages.Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by Dr. Johnson，a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes(社会保障金)，with their employers (that is，their husbands) offering part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said，“If you work in a store you can qualify for Social Security，but if you stay at home and raise a family，you can’t qualify for it.”1. Now in the U.S. the women working outside home can get_____A. the same pay as those doing houseworkB. as much as their husbandsC. an average payment of $11，600 a yearD. more and more money2. The researchers at Cornell University suggest that_____.A. husbands hire others to do their houseworkB. husbands pay their wives for their work at homeC. policies he worked out on women’s wagesD. women go out to work instead of working at home3. The expression "full-time housewives" in paragraph 2 means______.A. wives who can’t do any housework.B. wives who don't like to stay at homeC. wives staying at home doing houseworkD .wives working outside home sometimes4. Why do some people feel that husbands should pay their homework?A. Because husbands are employers.B. Because raising a family needs money.C. Because wives’ work at home has its valueD. Because wives cant qualify for Social Security.5. Why does Dr. Johnson think that the present system is unfair?A. Husbands are paying the social security taxes far their wives.B. Women working at home can’t get social security.C. Bosses refuse to pay part of the taxes for female employees.D. Full-time housewives are required to pay social security taxes.The key: DBCCBV.

The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind　2 Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D. The problem is that there are many people who don’t choose foods wisely, don’t get enough variety, and don’t eat the basic foods they need to get their vitamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not be stored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in. 3 What foods supply what vitamins Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certainfruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1. Our body needs ___A___ for life and health.A) small amounts of each vitamin B) extra vitaminsC) all vitamins except vitamin D D) large amounts of certain vitamins2. C Vitamin A is needed by___C_ and can be found in ______.A) bones, pork B) nervous system, milkC) eyes, green vegetables D) teeth, meats3. A Vitamin B1 is very important to __A____.A) the digestive system B) bones C) liver D) skin4. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need　DA) They will do great harm to our body. B) We get all the vitamins needed.C) Our body will function more properly. D) Our body simply gets rid of them.5. The passage has probably been taken from _B_____.A) a sports magazine B) a journal of medical scienceC) an aged magazine D) a youth journalPassage Two1 Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.2 In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, “What is the difference in taste　”3 The leader said, “The second time the milk tastes terrible.” “That is because of the water added to the milk,” said the king. “The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will spoil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it. “It tastes sweet,” said the king.4 The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said, “Oh, king！That is how we would like to live here：as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him the king granted them permission to stay.6. The leader of the Jews went to the king because ___C_____ for life and health.A) they wanted to ask directions　B) they wanted to drink some milk C) they wanted to live there D) they wanted to go through the kingdom7. Why was the king hesitant　AA) Because he was suspicious of the foreigners.B) Because in those days any foreigner was viewed as a bad guy.C) Because he thought the Jews would rob them of their milk.D) Because Jews were not trusty.8. The king asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk added with water just to show that __B______.A) the taste was terrible B) if the Jews joined them, they would destroy the countryC) the taste was different from the pure milk D) the taste was sweet9. The underlined word “dilutes” means _____D___.A) reduce B) weaken C) make less delicious D) make (a liquid) thinner by adding another liquid such as water10. The passage implies that the leader of the Jews was ____B____.A) humorous B) witty C) foolish D) unbelievablePassage Three1 Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning Do you sometimes oversleep Are you often late for work or school Yes Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed will get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:2 The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few minutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be loud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot” is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are awake and out of bed.3 Hiroyuki made his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He works for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a contest—the “All Honda Idea Contest”. In 1996 Hiroyuki won a prize for his bed.11. The purpose of the passage is ____A____.A) to introduce a special bed B) to tell a storyC) to wake somebody up D) to praise Hiroyuki12. What does the special bed do first in the morning　DA) Its tape recorder plays soft music. B) Its tape recorder plays loud music. C) It kicks you in the head. D) Its alarm clock rings.13.

If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We tell them that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance will meet with our approval.2 When I see a child subject to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie, my youngest third-grader，he was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with joyous abandon. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake3 I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, adored her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared of making mistake.4 Then one morning we were working math problems at the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem.5 Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister of pencils.6 “Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. She placed the pencils on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie　” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn That's because we make mistakes too, lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”7 She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one pencil to you so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.8 The pencil became Donnie’s prize. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.16. In the author’s opinion, we should consider failures _C_______.A) a shame　可耻的 B) mistakes错误的 C) acceptable　可接受的 D) accessible方便的17. Donnie is a perfectionist, which means he __A______.A) cannot afford any mistakes B) often makes mistakes C) is always perfect D) seldom makes any mistakes18.

Mary changed Donnie after ___A_____.A) giving him a pencil B) kneeling beside him and lifting his face from his armsC) persuading him that it’s ok to make mistakesD) erasing his mistakes20. This article tells us that __D______.A) the influence of a teacher is important to a student老师的影响是重要的一个学生B) there are growing pains in a student’s life这是一个学生的生命成长的烦恼C) you should erase your mistakes and try again你应该删除你的错误并再次尝试D) making mistakes is not such a big deal, as long as you try again 犯错并不是什么大不了的，只要你再试试。

Besides its persuasive powers, eye contact helps hold listener interest. A successful speaker must maintain eye contact with an audience. To have good rapport (关系) with listener, a speaker should maintain direct eye contact for at least 75 percent of the time. Some speakers focus exclusively (唯一的) on their notes. Others gaze over the heads of their listeners. Both are likely to lose audience interest and esteem. People who maintain eye contact while speaking, whether from a podium (演讲台) or from across the table, are ―regarded not only as exceptionally well-disposed by their target but also as more believable and earnest.‖To show the potency (力量，效应) of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passers-by behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel awkward and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone.Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor the listeners. It is, in fact, essential for analyzing an audience during a speech. Visual cues (暗示) from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on (to think, speak, or write a lot about) a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation. Aswe have pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered.1. This passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. the importance of eye contactB. the potency of nonverbal techniquesC. successful speech deliveryD. an effective way to gain visual feedback2. According to the passage, a good speaker must ______.A. ―sell‖ his or her ideas to an audienceB. maintain direct eye contact with listenersC. be very persuasive and believableD. be exceptionally well-disposed3. The word ―target‖ in the last sentence of the first paragraph can best be replaced by ______.A. ―destination‖B. ―goal‖C. ―audience‖D. ―followers‖4. In daily life, when the glances of two passers-by happen to meet, these two persons will inevitably (不可避免地) ______.A. smile to each otherB. feel awkward and look away immediatelyC. try to make a conversation with each otherD. none of the above5. Eye contact with an audience, according to the author, has all the following benefits for the speaker except that it doesn’t ______.A. help the speaker to control the audienceB. help the speaker to gain audience interest and esteemC. help the speaker to know whether he is talking too much about a certain pointD. help the speaker to analyze his audience when he is beginning his speechPassage 2There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among ―situation vacant‖, and sometime s it appears among ―situation wanted‖. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.―Contact us before writing your application‖, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is, also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (简历).There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. ―Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams‖, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. It was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. ―Your search is over, I am the person you are looking for,‖ wasa widely used trick that occasionally succeeded.There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.1. The purpose of this new type of advertisement is ______.A. to offer advice to job-huntersB. to provide jobs for unemployed peopleC. to tell people where they can get well-paid jobsD. to inform employers of how important curriculum vitae are2. The success of this specialized service makes people think badly of ______.A. newspaper advertisementsB. current high levels of unemploymentC. job-seekers competing for jobsD. employers who are indifferent to job-hunters3. What did a job-hunter do in the past?A. He just wrote a letter of application informing the employer of his education.B. He telephoned the employers informing that he would like to take the job.C. He first filled out a job application and then had an interview with the employer.D. He first wrote an application letter and then had an interview with the employer.4. It can be inferred from the selection that in the past ______.A. jobs were hard to getB. jobs were easy to obtainC. a lot of people were unemployedD. few people wanted to take part-time jobs5. The curriculum vitae becomes important for a person when he hunts a job because ______.A. jobs are not so easy to obtain as they were in the pastB. there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedC. there has been an increase in the number of applicants with university educationsD. other ways of applying for jobs are more complicatedPassage 3A famous scientist and inventor, Hero of Alexandria, who lived in ancient times, stated that there are five simple machines: the lever, the wedge (楔), the screw, the wheel, and the pulley (滑轮).These several devices can be called simple machines. They are built of two or more parts for the purpose of performing a task. But today we consider these devices not as separate machines but as important parts of more complex machines.In the days of ancient Greece there was little reason to invent machines to do man’s work because there was no great need for them. Slave labor had bee n plentiful since man’s early history. We have no actual records to tell us how slavery came into existence. Perhaps the first slaves were prisoners of war, who were put to work to help with the crops and other tasks. In the late 18th century, however, the ideas of human dignity (尊严) and liberty were developed and accepted. That was the beginning of the end of slavery.The awakening spirit of personal freedom and of exploration, along with the perfecting of thesteam engine in 1765, prepared Europe for new things. At the same time there came the desire to develop a whole new continent, North America. Here engineers met new conditions of climate and great size.Engineers work mostly with metals, particularly steel. Their work is the building of machines, plants, buildings, bridges, and ships. For this work, the engineer has developed various tools used by mechanics —people who are skilled in using tools or in making, operating, and repairing power–driven machines. These tools form a large and varied family, called machine tools. They are listed either as metal-cutting machines or metal- forming machines.1. The five simple machines mentioned in the first paragraph are regarded as ______.A. parts of more complicated machines in GreeceB. a part of a more complex machine in AmericaC. parts of more complicated machines nowadaysD. a part of a separate device2. The passage tells us that the great number of slaves in ancient Greece ______.A. made machines unnecessaryB. stimulated the development of machinesC. made the invention of machines unreasonableD. made it impossible to invent machines3. What led to the end of slavery in 18th century?A. The invention of more machines.B. The idea of human rights.C. The mercy of the ruling class.D. The man’s reduced work.4. The ―new things‖ in the fourth paragraph most probably stands for ______.A. new explorationsB. new desiresC. new machinesD. new conditions5. According to the passage, the formation of the machine tools family is based on ______.A. farm workB. salves’ workC. man’s workD. engineers’ work三、词汇与结构1. It is not considered _______ to litter in public.A. respectiveB. respectingC. respectfulD. respectable2. My camera can be _______ to take pictures in cloudy or sunny conditions.A. adjustedB. accustomedC. adoptedD. allowed3. The writer’s choice of words in his writing is merely a matter of _______ style.A. personnelB. personalC. privateD. primary4.
