The Stranger Who Changed My LifeIt was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital，l found a man running down the hospital steps，waving at me.I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “ The Airport，please，“ he said. As always，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?”‘s i t’ s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“ What do you do?” I asked.“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “ Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record. ”He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.Near graduating from college, Robbie applied to and was admitted to New York Medical College. After getting his medical degree, Robbie, the son of a taxi driver, became a doctor at Columbia Medical Center.1. The doctor shouted at the taxi driver for a ride.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.

Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11～15题，每题2分，共10分）Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits CarefullyWeight is never an easy subject. It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge.Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11. The writer' s friend advised her not to .A. worrv about her son's weightB. take the risk of gaining weightC. change her own eating habitsD. talk to her son about his weight12. The study found that some kids had fewer eating problems because they ________.A. learned to eat healthilyB. took part in the studyC. focused on their weightD. believed the scientists13. When told about their fatness, some kids _____________.A. felt helplessB. became angryC. began to eat no foodD. refused to take any advice14. If a father focuses on his daughter' s interests, she will feel ____________.A. amusedB. encouragedC. surprisedD. challenged15. When taking to their kids about eating behaviors, parents should ______________.A. focus on being healthyB. use short and simple wordsC. respect their kids' viewsD. compare their kids with others第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子（第16～25题，每题1分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请完成短文后的2项测试任务：(1)从第16—20题后所给的6个选项中为第①~⑤段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)从第21~ 25题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项，分别完成每个句子，并将所选答案的代码（指A、B、C、D、E或F）填在答题纸的相应位.Plagiarism（剽窃）①You just found some good .stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It' s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it's accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don't have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you’re done.④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plag iarize. When you’re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you’re need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:1 8. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221. You commit plagiarism when you ________22. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether_________23. Copying whole paragraphs can ____________.24. Once caught for plagiarism,_______________25. If you publish something great, people may____.第四部分：填句补文（第26～30题，每题2分，共10分）下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌，并将所选答案的代码（指A、B、C、D、E或F）填在答题纸的相应位置上。

2020年1月全国自学考试试题及答案解析英语阅读(二)试卷及答案解析

全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试英语阅读（二）试题课程代码：00596I. Reading Comprehension. (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Two decades ago, the channels that separate the Adriatic Islands were brimming with giant blue-fin tuna, a species so plentiful that tourists used to climb ladders by the sea to watch the schools swim by.Today, these majestic predators are rarely, if ever, caught. The catches have dropped by 80 percent over the past few years, even for high-tech trawlers that now comb remote corners of the sea in search of the hard-to-find fish.“This is past the alarm stage,”said Simon Cripps, director of the global marine program at the World Wildlife Fund. “We are seeing a complete collapse of the tuna population. It could disappear and never come back.”The group is urging the European Union to impose an immediate fishing moratorium until the international body that regulates tuna catches meets in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in November.Many edible fish stocks in the Mediterranean and its extension, the Adriatic, have sharply declined in the past decade because of pollution and intensive fishing, including crayfish and John Dory, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In Croatia, much of the fish eaten at seaside resorts is imported from as far away as the United States.But it is the blue-fin tuna that is in crisis, thanks to a new and lucrative European network of fishing and fish farming companies that provide the prized fish to sushi and sashimi markets in Japan. With tuna prices going as high as $15 a pound in Tokyo, European trawlers fish for tuna aggressively and illegally, far exceeding international quotas meant to protect the species, scientists said. Compounding the problem is the recent development of tuna fattening farms in Croatia, Spain, Turkey and other Mediterranean countries.1Now, even small juvenile tuna, captured in the few corners of the Mediterranean where the species still breeds or even from the Atlantic, can be brought to the vast underwater cages that line the Croatian coast, where they are fed for months or years until they are ready for market. And so, though few tuna are in Croatia’s seas and none are in its restaurants, tuna is one of this country’s most lucrative food exports. One hundred percent of Croatia’s tuna is farm-fattened, ending up as toro—precious, fatty raw tuna.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.1. In the second paragraph, “these majestic predators”refer to ______.A. big fishB. blue-fin tunaC. crayfishD. fish that eat other fishes2. Blue-fin tuna is in crisis because ______.A. fishing companies catch the fish to-excess for moneyB. it takes a long time for small tuna to grow upC. there is no law to protect this speciesD. the natural environment worsens3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Tuna is a typical dish on Croatian dinner table.B. Europe consumes most of the tuna Croatia exports.C. There are large amounts of tuna in the Mediterranean area.D. Small tuna are kept at the Croatia’s coast and fed to be sold.4. The author points out that ______.A. intensive fishing causes sharp decline of the fish stockB. it is quite difficult to catch tuna in the Mediterranean seasC. Croatia doesn’t really need to import fishD. tuna is the most expensive fish on market5. “One hundred percent of Croatia’s tuna is farm-fattened”. This means that Croatia’s tuna are ______.A. fed and fattened by cropsB. of first class qualityC. kept and fed to larger sizeD. very fat2Passage TwoA college education can be very costly in the United States, especially at a private school. Rising costs have led more and more families to borrow money to help pay for college.There are different federal loans and private loans for students and parents. Interest rates on some of these loans will go up on July 1st. As borrowing has increased, there are growing concerns that many students graduate with too much debt. In 1993, less than one-half of graduates from four-year colleges had student loans. Now two-thirds of them do. Their average loan debt when they graduate is nineteen thousand dollars. At public universities, the average is seventeen thousand dollars.The Project on Student Debt is an action group that collects these numbers from reports. It notes that averages do not present the full picture. For example, in 2004, one-fourth of students with loans graduated more than twenty-five thousand dollars in debt. And that did not include borrowing by their parents. The Project on Student Debt says parents as well as students are borrowing more to pay for college. Students can expect to take about ten years to pay back their loans. Repayment does not begin until after they are out of school.Higher borrowing limits have also helped push up student debts. Students from all economic levels are borrowing more. Corrected for inflation, student loans have increased around sixty percent in ten years.Researchers say one effect is that the higher the debts, the more likely graduates are to look only for high paying jobs. That means there is less chance they will take jobs in areas like teaching or other public service. A study done in 2002 for a major student lender found that debts can also affect lives in other ways. Some students paying back their college loans said they delayed buying their first house. Some delayed marriage or having children.In May, groups representing students, parents and college officials asked the government to change some of its loan repayment rules. The requested changes would recognize graduates who have difficulty repaying their loans because they do not earn very much. They would be able to pay less fight after they graduate, then pay more as their earnings increase.Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.6. According to the passage, one may expect that young people graduate with a debt may ______.3A. be looked down upon by othersB. never be able to get rid of itC. avoid starting a family very earlyD. not have to repay all their debts7. Which of the following is NOT true about student loans?A. Higher tuition fees give rise to student loan.B. Students from well-off families don’t borrow money.C. Higher borrowing limits allow students to loan more money.D. It may take quite a long time for graduates to repay their debts.8. Groups representing students, parents and college officials appealed to the government to ______.A. raise graduates’ pay at workB. provide more loan options for studentsC. cut down the amount that students have to repayD. allow graduates to gradually increase their repayment9. The passage is a(n) ______.A. statement of factsB. argument against high student loansC. comment on a controversial issueD. suggestion about student loans10. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Costly Education, Heavier BurdenB. Fresh out of College, and in DebtC. Efforts to Finance College EducationD. Graduates Expect Lower RepaymentPassage ThreeOn the New York Mercantile Exchange, oil prices broke the record of $76.70 a barrel set just Thursday. The new price of oil for delivery in August shot to $77.95 before finishing the day at $77.03.While $80-a-barrel oil seemed like a skeptic’s worst-case outlook a few months ago, oil traders are increasingly saying that it is now just a matter of time before prices cross that threshold. Oil futures contracts for delivery beyond this summer passed $80 a barrel for the first time on Thursday.4“The feeling is that we’re in a fairly bullish market right now,”said Antoine Halff, head of research at Fimat. “Gasoline demand over the last few weeks has been very robust. Perhaps the bigger issue on top of that is geopolitics. And clearly the market is very jittery about what’s going on in Israel.”Oil markets are typically sensitive to any political instability in the Middle East. Recently, they have been unsettled by Israeli military incursions into Gaza and then, this week, Lebanon. So, a market already worried about the potential for conflict with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs is growing even more anxious. William Rhodes, chief investment strategist at Rhodes Analytics, said, “People are scared, that’s the bottom line.”The Commerce Department said that retail sales fell by 0.1 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the first drop since February. A University of Michigan survey that showed falling consumer confidence was one of the reasons.How resilient consumer spending proves to be is something that will continue to factor heavily into stock performance. Most economists believe that consumers will curb their spending somewhat as the year goes on, and economic growth is expected to slow. But there is disagreement over how much spending will slow.“The persistence of high gasoline prices, coupled with lower equity prices and lower consumer sentiment, will restrain the growth of real consumer spending in the second half of 2006,”Brian Bethune, an analyst with Global Insight, wrote yesterday in a report about the retail sales numbers. But many analysts noted that the month’s decline in retail sales was exaggerat ed by poor car sales, and said that consumers were likely to keep shopping for other goods.Even though the market swooned this week, analysts said that there were no signs yet that the drop was part of a larger unraveling of the economy.Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11. According to the passage, which is NOT one of the factors that cause the oil price to rise?A. There is a large market demand.B. There is a shortage of oil reserve.C. Political situation is instable in the Middle East.D. Consumers worry about the high rise of oil price.12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.5A. political instability strongly influences oil marketB. price of oil for delivery has already hit $80 a barrelC. oil market is bullish because more people are buying carsD. economy will be seriously affected by the rising oil price13. By “bottom line”, William Rhodes means ______.A. oil is sold at $76.70 a barrelB. oil is sold at $80 a barrelC. oil retail price gradually goes downD. people fear for worse political situation14. The passage indicates that retail sales dropped, because ______.A. gasoline price was highB. dollar value increasedC. people wanted to protect the environmentD. there was not enough stock of gasoline on market15. The author’s tone is ______.A. worriedB. negativeC. objectiveD. cautiousPassage FourAbout 60 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia, either because they are taking medication, or experiencing pain, or not eating right. Or — according to Russell Rosenberg, who directs the Sleep Medicine Institute in Atlanta, Georgia — simply because they are living in the modern world.“It’s a 24/7 society now. That is, you have Internet 24 [hours], 7 [days a week], television, radio. Everything can keep you distracted from the time you need to sleep. Plus, people are working harder, working more jobs, trying to squeeze in more family-time, more leisure-time and so forth, and so there’s only so much time to do all the things we want to do in one particular day.”According to an annual poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, in 2005, 75 percent of Americans experienced sleeping problems ranging from minor and transient to severe6and chronic. That is up from 62 percent in 1999, when the NSF first conducted its poll.The number of Americans turning to prescription sleep aids for help has gone up even more dramatically: nearly 60 percent over the past five years. American pharmacists filled about 42 million sleeping pill prescriptions last year, and most of them were for either Ambien or Lunesta, two recent additions to the sleep aid market.These drugs are not believed to be habit-forming, and they don’t seem to have the same liver-damaging side-effects that earlier sleep aids had. At the same time, there is some evidence that these new sleeping pills may not be completely harmless.Sleep experts also recommend their patients with what is known as “cognitive behavioral therapy,”or CBT. It is a form of psychotherapy that tries to change the way a patient thinks, feels, and acts about sleep.It doesn’t yield immediate results, though, and in many parts of the country, it is unavailable. There are only about 200 clinicians worldwide who have extensive CBT training in the area of sleep. That is part of the reason prescription drugs have become so popular.But the biggest reason, says Gregg Jacobs, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, is marketing. “You’ll see their ads every night on television now. They’re the most frequent drug ads on TV. As a result, people around the United States —and soon around the world —are being given the message that you can take a sleeping pill, and it will cure your insomnia. And when people hear that, they rush out to buy this pill.”Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four.16. Which is the topic of the passage?A. Cures for insomnia.B. Drug companies’ strategies.C. Harms caused by sleeping pills.D. Sleeping problem in the US.17. According to the passage, Ambien and Lunesta are ______.A. sleeping clinicsB. sleep expertsC. sleeping pillsD. symptoms of insomnia18. According to the passage, people who take the new sleeping pills may ______.A. feel sleepy during working hoursB. experience some side-effectsC. develop the habit to eat themD. suffer some liver problem719. Which is implied, but not stated, in the passage?A. In the past, people used to sleep better.B. 75% of Americans had sleeping problem in 2005.C. Some new sleeping pills may not be totally harmless.D. The modern life style is blamed for sleeping problems.20. Sleeping pills are used more often than CBT to combat insomnia for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A. CBT doesn’t show quick results as sleeping pillsB. drug ads influence people in their choiceC. CBT is too new an idea for patients to acceptD. CBT cannot be found in many parts of the USPassage FiveFarmers in the Midwest put in some of the longest workdays of any profession in the United States. In addition to caring for their crops and livestock, they have to keep up with new farming techniques, such as those for combining soil erosion and increasing livestock production. It is essential that farmers adopt these advances in technology if they want to continue to meet the growing demand of a hungry world.Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the country’s leading export. American farmers manage to feed not only the total population of the United States, but also millions of other people throughout the rest of the world. Corn and soybean exports alone account for approximately 75% of the amount sold in world market.This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Ever y year wind and water remove tons of rich soil from the nation’s croplands, with the result that soil erosion has become a national problem concerning everyone from the farmer to the consumer.Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is the richest in the nutrient and minerals necessary for growing crops. Ever since the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago, cultivation and, consequently, erosion have been depleting the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s, nearly two feet of rich, black topsoil covered the8Midwest. Today the average depth is only eight inches, and every decade another inch is blown or washed away. This erosion is steadily decreasing the productivity of valuable cropland. A United States Agricultural Department survey states that if erosion continues at its present rate, corn and soybean yields in the Midwest may drop as much as 30% over the next 50 years.So far, farmers have been able to compensate for the loss of fertile topsoil by applying more chemical fertilizers to their fields; however, while this practice has increased crop yields, it has been devastating for ecology. Agriculture has become one of the biggest polluters on the nation’s precious water supply. Rivers, lakes, and underground reserves of water are being filled in and poisoned by soil and chemicals carried by the drainage from eroding fields. Furthermore, fertilizers only replenish the soil; they do not prevent its loss.Clearly something else has to be done in order to avoid an eventual ecological disaster. Conservationists insist that the solution to this problem lies in new and better farming techniques. Concerned farmers are building terraces on hilly fields, rotating their crops, and using new plowing methods to cut soil loss significantly. Substantial progress has been made, but soil erosion is far from being under control.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Farmers are the only people who are concerned about soil erosion.B. Farmers in the Midwest lead a very busy life and work long hours.C. Farmers should use advanced techniques to produce more food.D. Farmers in the U.S provide food for the U.S. and other countries.22. Agricultural products of the U.S. ______.A. consist mainly of corn, wheat and soybeansB. enjoy the world reputation for the good qualityC. are the largest source of exports of the countryD. account for about 75% of those sold in world market23. What is the downside of using chemical fertilizers according to the passage?A. It worsens soil erosion.B. It endangers people’s health.C. It poisons the cropsD. It pollutes water supply.924. Which is true about topsoil in Midwest?A. It is the richest in the U.S.B. It is lacking nutrients.C. It is becoming thinner.D. It is ruined by chemicals.25. Farmers can do the following things to prevent soil erosion EXCEPT ______.A. rotating their cropsB. using effective fertilizersC. using new plowing methodsD. building terraces on hilly fieldsII. Vocabulary. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the brackets after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is. Write the word you choose on the Answer Sheet.Most of us buy vitamins for one of three reasons. Either we believe that they are prophylactic, that is they will ward off advancing ill, or they are therapeutic and will deal with the ills we have already, or finally we may believe they are wonder drugs and will lift us into a state of super health. We are protected from some of these wild imaginings by the laws which control advertising but even without false promises we still believe that vitamins will “do us good”.Belief is a very potent state of mind and the power of the placebo pill is never underestimated in clinical trials used to test new drugs. A placebo is a harmless substance given to one group of patients in the trial and it is similar in taste and appearance to a new drug which is given to a second group of patients. Theoretically the drug should cure or relieve any symptoms and the placebo should have no effect. Often these trials produce surprising results and the placebo group recovers as well as the group taking the new drug.Vitamins B and C cannot be retained in the body, so if we take more than we need of these, they are soon excreted in the urine. Taking too much of the fat soluble vitamins can be dangerous and vitamins A and D should never be taken indiscriminately. Vitamin E has not been found to have any toxic effect in large doses, but neither do there seem to be any noticeable benefits. This is an unexplored area in vitamin research and the only known advantages of vitamin E are confined to specialized medical cases.26. to prevent something from harming you (Para. 1)1027. very good and effective (Para. 1)28. situations or ideas that are not real or true (Para. 1)29. having a powerful effect on your body or mind (Para.2)30. a series of testing to find out whether something works (Para.2)31. to make a pain or problem less severe (Para.2)32. gets well after an illness, accident, shock (Para.2)33. not thinking carefully before making a choice (Para.3)34. poisoning (Para.3)35. examples of particular situations, problems (Para.3)III. Summarization. (20 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this section of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs is followed by an incomplete phrase or sentence which summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.Paragraph OneBetween 1979 and 1999, extremely hot weather killed more than 8000 people in the US. In that period, more Americans died from extreme heat than from severe storms, lightning, floods and earthquakes together.36. Extreme heat was the top killer among several n______ threats.Paragraph TwoThe body itself is mostly water —more than 65% water. Water in blood carries hormones and antibodies through the body. Water in urine carries away waste materials. Water is also needed for cooling the body on hot days, carrying body heat to the surface of the skin.37. Water is essential to h______.Paragraph ThreeDevelopment aid has increased since 2002. Still, the report says severe poverty continues to worsen, in part because of H.I.V./AIDS. Environmental conditions also add to poverty. The report says climate change already affects many low-lying and island nations, and more problems are likely in the years to come.38. Worse poverty situation despite i______ development aid.11Paragraph FourStrong earthquakes forced the bottom of the sea to rise above the water. After millions of years, it was pushed up into the air to form land and mountains. Meanwhile, hot liquid rock from deep in the Earth pushed to the surface. This liquid rock slowly cooled. The then cooling liquid formed a very hard rock known as granite.39. Theory about f______ of land and mountains.Paragraph FiveMany centuries of rain caused huge rivers to move violently through this area. Over time, these rivers cut deep into the new mountains. During the great Ice Age, millions of tons of ice cut and shaped the cooled granite to form giant rocks, known as Half Dome.40. V______ forms of water change the outlook of the area.Paragraph SixCitizens who had formed a military group were the first real modern explorers of the valley. They were at war with the local Indians and came into the valley. The white soldiers called it Yosemites after the Indians.41. White world’s f______ of Yosemites.Paragraph SevenMany young Americans began to challenge some of the traditions of their parents and grandparents. For example, some young women began to experiment with new kinds of clothes. They no longer wore dresses that hid the shape of their bodies. Instead, they wore thinner dresses that uncovered part of their legs.42. Youth defied traditional d______ style.Paragraph EightSupporters say the goal is to get students to think about what they want to do and help them prepare for their future. But some people say the program could make it difficult for students to explore different possibilities, as they are too young to know what they want to do in life.43. For and a______ over a school program.Paragraph NineEducators did not become involved with blogging right away. Many were concerned with12privacy issues and security. But now, thousands of teacher blogs can be found on the Internet. Many teachers do not identify themselves, and they change the names of students and co-workers.44. Many teachers are going for blogs although some w______ about privacy issues. Paragraph TenEmployment of women with babies under one year dropped in the most recent period reported by the Census Bureau. The rate decreased from 59% in 1998 to 55% in 2002. The Census Bureau said this was the first recorded drop since it began to keep these records in 1976.45. F______ women with infants are being employed.IV. Translation. (20 points, 4 points for each)Directions: In the following passage, there are five groups of underlined sentences. Read the passage carefully and translate these sentences into Chinese. Write the Chinese version on your Answer Sheet.It’s believed the Internet was born in 1969 when two computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, were connected by a 15-foot cable, with bits of meaningless data flowing between them. 46. Since then the Net has taken off, with some 137 million U.S. computers online plus another 152 million outside the United States. And while the number of Internet-linked computers is surging, the volume of traffic they are carrying is increasing even faster. Some projections have it doubling every 100 days.47. This is not surprising since a hallmark of the Cyber Age is connectivity and the sharing of information. The assertion that “information is meant to be free”is an increasing reality since it can be moved from those who have it to those who need it in the blink of an eye —and at virtually no cost, unlike for other media. This computer-driven contribution to the vitality of the U.S. economy is immeasurable.Auction sites have been springing up all over the Internet, but the undisputed leader is eBay.48. You simply go to eBay’s Web site, register, post a description of what you have to sell, along with photos and a minimum price, if you like. Bids from interested buyers appear on your computer screen, which is instantly updated as better bids come in. Once the auction ends, the highest bidder is obliged to pay for the item.One of the Internet’s truly great features is that anybody can be a player who has an idea for13a Web site and a few dollars to get it up and running. Possibly the most notorious site of all is the one dreamed up by an 18-year-old dropout from Northeastern University in Boston, Shawn Fanning, nicknamed the “Napster”for his unruly red hair. 49. He created the world’s biggest online free-music community, which allows 38 million popular music lovers to exchange hundreds of recordings, using the Napster system as a search engine to find exactly what they want.Napster has outraged everyone connected with the record business, from artists whose creative work was being hijacked to the Recording Industry Association of America, which bro ught a lawsuit seeking an injunction aimed at ending Napster’s brief, if notorious, life. It now appears, incredibly, that this deadlock may actually be resolved to almost everyone’s satisfaction. Napster users may pay a modest monthly fee, which will be divided up among those creating, producing, and delivering the music. Napster is receiving financial backing from the German media giant Bertelsmann, which is getting a piece of Napster in return. There is a sticking point, however, since it’s now unclear h ow to put a user name and price on every digital music file being downloaded. 50. It’s also unclear if Napster users will pay even a few bucks a month for the service.14。

You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, wh en you’re asleep?”“Sure.”zxx.k“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. zxx.kBookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would b e outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship. The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back. As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(20 points)Questions 31 35 are hosed on the following R acsa ge.Research on friendship has established a number of facts , some interesting , some even useful. Did you know that the average student has 5-6 friends , or that a friend who was previously an enemy is like more than one who has always been on the right side? Would you believe that physically attractive individuals are preferred as friends to those less comely , and is it fair that physically attractive defendants are less likely to be found guilty in court * Unfortunately , such titbits (z] JJ Q › R ) don’ t tell us much more about the nature or the purpose of friendship. In fact , studies of friendship seem to implicate more complex factors.For example , one function friendship seems to f ulfil is that it supports the image we have of ourselves , and confirms the val ue of the attitudes we hold. Certainly we appear to project( §j) ourselves onto our friends ; several studies have shown that we judge them to be more like us than they ( objectively) are. This suggests that we ought to choose friends who are similar to us rather than those who would be complementary. In our experiment , some developing friendships were monitored amongst first-year students living in the same hostel. It was found that similarity of attitudes ( towards politics , religion and ethics , pastimes and aesthetics) was a good predictor of what friendships would be established by the end of four months , though it has less to do with initial alliances —not surprisingly › since attitudes may not be obvious on first inspection.There have also been studies of pairings, both voluntary (married couples) and forced (student roommates) , to see which remained together and which split up. Again, the evidence seems to favor similarity rather than complementarity as an omen(QJ8)of a successful relationship, though there is a complication : where marriage is concerned, once the field has been narrowed down to potential mates who come from similar backgrounds and share a broad range of attitudes and values , a degree of complementarity seems to become desirable. When a couple are not just similar but almost identical, something else seems to be needed. Similarity can breed contempt(J@ J) , it has also been found that when we find others obnoxious(E{‘JQ) › we dislike them more if they are like us than when they are dissimilar !The difficulty of linking friendship with similarity of personality probably reflects the complexity of our personality: we have many facets and therefore require a disparate(JRJ{a} Q) group of friends to support us. This of course can explain why we may have two close friends who have little in common, and indeed dislike each other. By and large, though , it looks as though we would do well to choose friends (and spouses) who resemble(Q(J) us. If this were not so, computer dating agencies would have gone out of business years ago.31. Research on friendship has demonstrated that .A. every student has five or six friendsB. judges are always influenced by a pretty faceC. ugly people find it harder to make friends than beautiful peopleD. we tend to grow fond of people if we dislike them at first sight32. Studies of friendship have indicated that in seeking friends we .A. are looking for sympathyB. insist on them having similar attitudes to ourselvesC. think they resemble us more than they really doD, want to be f lattered33. The experiment conducted on students living in a hostel suggested that .A. in the long run, people get on better with those who are like themB, it was impossible to predict which friendships would developC. students immediately recognized others with similar attitudes and interestsD. students split up as soon as they discovered differences in attitudes34. Studies of marriage relationships indicate that .A. exactly the same bases for success apply as for ordinary friendshipsB. it is first of all necessary to limit prospective partners to people from similarbackgroundsC. opposites get on better than similar personalitiesD. the most successful are those between people who are alike but not exactly thesame35. Which of the following best illustrates the major view of the passage?A. Birds of a feather flock together.B. Opposites attract each other.C. Great minds think alike.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.Questions 36 40 are bosed on the following passa ge.Looking back on my childhood , I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way , my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them , I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic(J J) .Before World War I › we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dimtQ ) memory of the house we lived in , of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents , aunts , uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs , the farm animals , the local birds , and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist , not a scientist. 1 have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle , because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books , which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity › a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a sci,entist one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline , a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training , determination and a goal. A scientist , up to a point , can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two , you get the best of both worlds.36. The first paragraph tells us the author .A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB. lost his hearing when he was a childC. didn’ t like his brothers and sistersD. was born to a naturalist’s family试题答案及评分标准（仅供参考）I.

Across18trials each,the living rats were52percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one.Thissuggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being.They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviors like communal exploring and playing.This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier,and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped,says Quinn.The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design.The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels."We'd assumed we'd have to give it a moving head and tail,facial features,and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat,but that wasn't necessary,"says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia,who helped with the research.The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues,even when they come from basic robots.Similarly,children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings,even when they display only simple social signals."We humans seem to be fascinated by robots,and it turns out other animals are too,"says Wiles.21.Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can____.[A]pick up social signals from non-living rats[B]distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile one[C]attain sociable traits through special training[D]send out warning messages to their fellow22.What did the social robot do during the experiment?[A]It followed the social robot[B]It played with some toys[C]It set the trapped rats free[D]It moved around alone23.According to Quinn,the rats released the social robot because they____.[A]tried to practice a means of escape[B]expected it to do the same in return[C]wanted to display their intelligence[D]considered that an interesting game24.James Wiles notes that rats____.[A]can remember other rat's facial features[B]differentiate smells better than sizes[C]respond more to cations than to looks[D]can be scared by a plastic box on wheels25.It can be learned from the text that rats____.[A]appear to be adaptable to new surroundings[B]are more socially active than other animals[C]behave differently from children in socializing[D]are more sensitive to social cues than expectedText2Why CEOs Actually Deserve Their Gazillion-Dollar SalariesBy Tyler CowenApril11,2019IDEASCowen is Holbert L.Harris Chair of Economics at George Mason University and the author most recently of Big-Business:A love Letter to an American Anti-Hero.It is fashionable today to bash Big Business.And there is one issue on which the many critics agree:CEO pay.We hear that CEOs are paid too much(or too much relative to workers), or that they rig others'pay,or that their pay is insufficiently related to positive outcomes.But the more likely truth is CEO pay is largely caused by intense competition.It is true that CEO pay has gone up—top ones may make300times the pay of typical workers on average,and since the mid-1970s,CEO pay for large publicly traded American corporations has,by varying estimates,gone up by about500%.The typical CEO of a top American corporation—from the350largest such companies—now makes about$18.9millon a year.While individual cases of over payment definitely exist,in general,the determinants of CEO pay are not so mysterious and not so mired in corruption.In fact,overall CEO compensation for the top companies rises pretty much in|lockstep with the value of those companies on the stockmarket.The best model for understanding the growth of CEO pay,though,is that of|limited CEO talent in a world where business opportunities for the top firms are growing rapidly.The efforts of Americas highest-earning1%have been one of the more dynamic elements of the global economy.Its not popular to say,but one reason their pay has gone up so much is that CEOs really have upped their game relative to many other workers in the US.economy.Today’s CEO,at least for major American firms,must have many more skills than simply being able to"run the company.CEOs must have a good sense of financial markets and maybe even how the company should trade in them.They also need better public relations skills than their predecessors,as the costs of even a minor slip up can be significant.Then there's the fact that large American companies are much more globalized than ever before,with supply chains spread across a larger number of countries.To lead in that system requires knowledge that is fairly mind-boggling. There is yet another trend:virtually all major American companies are becoming tech companies,one way or another.An agribusiness company,for instance,may focus on R&D in highly IT-intensive areas such as genome sequencing.Similarly,it is hard to do a good job running the Walt Disney Company just by picking good movie scripts and courting stars;you also need to build a firm capable of creating significant CGl products for animated movies at the highest levels of technical sophistication and with many frontier innovations along the way.On top of all of this,major CEOs still have to do the job they have always done—which includes motivatingemployees,serving as an internal role model helping to define and extend a corporate culture,understanding the internal accounting,and presenting budgets and business plans to the board.Good CEOs are some of the world's most potent creators and have some of the very deepest skills of understanding.26.Which of the following has contributed to CEO pay rise____.[A]The growth in the number of cooperations[B]The general pay rise with a better economy[C]Increased business opportunities for top firms[D]Close cooperation among leading economics/doc/1d2d2135d6d8d15abe23482fb4daa58da0111cb4.html pared with their predecessors,today's CEOs are required to____.[A]foster a stronger sense of teamwork[B]finance more research and development[C]establish closer ties with tech companies[D]cooperate more globalized companies28.High CEO pay has been rising since the1970s despite____.[A]continual internal opposition[B]strict corporate governance[C]conservative business strategies[D]repeated governance warnings29.High CEO pay can be justified by the fact that it helps____.[A]confirm the status of CEOs[B]motive inside candidates[C]boost the efficiency of CEOs[D]increase corporate value30.The most suitable title for this text would be____.[A]CEOs Are Not Overpaid[B]CEO Pay:Past and Present[C]CEOs’Challenges of Today[D]CEO Traits:Not Easy to DefineText3Madrid was hailed as a public health beacon last November when it rolled out ambitious restrictions on the most polluting cars.Seven months and one election day later,a new conservative city council suspended enforcement of the clean air zone,a first step toward its possible demise.Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida made opposition to the zone a centrepiece of his election campaign,despite its success in improving air quality.A judge has now overruled the city's decision to stop levying fines,ordering them reinstated.But with legal battles ahead,the zone's future looks uncertain at best.Among other weaknesses,the measures cities must employ when left to tackle dirty air on their own are politically contentious,and therefore vulnerable.That's because they inevitably put the costs of cleaning the air onto individual drivers-who must pay fees or buy better vehicles-rather than on to the car manufacturers whose cheating is the real cause of our toxic pollution.It's not hard to imagine a similar reversal happening in London.The new ultra-low emissionzone(Ulez)is likely to be a big issue in next year's mayoral election.And if Sadiq Khan wins and extends it to the North and South Circular roads in202I as he intends,it is sure to spark intense opposition from the far larger number of motorists who will then be affected.It's not that measures such as London's Ulez are useless.Far from it.Local officials are using the levers that are available to them to safeguard residents'health in the face of a serious threat. The zones do deliver some improvements to air quality,and the science tells us that means real health benefits-fewer heart attacks,strokes and premature births,less cancer,dementia and asthma.Fewer untimely deaths.But mayors and councilors can only do so much about a problem that is far bigger than any one city or town.They are acting because national governments-Britain's and others across Europe-have failed to do so.Restrictions that keep highly polluting cars out of certain areas-city centres,"school streets", even individual roads-are a response to the absence of a larger effort to properly enforce existing regulations and require auto companies to bring their vehicles into compliance.Wales has introduced special low speed limits to minimize pollution.We're doing everything but insist that manufacturers clean up their cars.31.Which of the following is true about Madrid’s clean air zone?[A]Its effects are questionable.[B]It has been opposed by a judge.[C]Its fate is yet to be decided.[D]It needs tougher enforcement.32.Which is considered a weakness of the city-level measures to tackle dirty air?[A]They are biased against car manufacturers.[B]They prove impractical for city councils.[C]They are deemed too mild for politicians.[D]They put too much burden on individual motorists.33.The author believes that the extension of London’s Ulez will____.[A]arouse strong resistance.[B]ensure Khan’s electoral success.[C]improve the city’s traffic.[D]discourage car manufacturing.34.Who does the author think should have addressed the problem?[A]Local residents[B]Mayors.[C]Councilors.[D]National governments.35.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that auto companies____.[A]will raise low-emission car production[B]should be forced to follow regulations[C]will upgrade the design of their vehicles[D]should be put under public supervisionText4Now that members of Generation Z are graduating college this spring the-most commonly-accepted definition says this generation was born after1995,give or take a year-the attention has been rising steadily in recent weeks.Gen Zs are about to hit the streets looking for work in a labor market that’s tighter than it's been in decades.And employers are planning on hiring about17percent more new graduates for jobs in the U.S.this year than last,according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.Everybody wants to know how the people who will soon inhabit those empty office cubicles will differ from those who came before them.If"entitled"is the most common adjective,fairly or not,applied to millennials(those born between1981and1995),the catchwords for Generation Z are practical and cautious.According to the career counselors and experts who study them Generation Zs are clear-eyed economic pragmatists.Despite graduating into the best economy in the past50years.Gen Zs know what an economic train wreck looks like.They were impressionable kids during the crash of2008,when many of their parents lost their jobs or their life savings or both.They aren’t interested in taking any chances.The booming economy seems to have done little to assuage this underlying generational sense of anxious urgency,especially for those who have college debt.College loan balances in the U.S.now stand at a record$l.5trillion,according to the Federal Reserve.One survey from Accenture found that88percent of graduating seniors this year chose their major with a job in mind.Ina2019survey of University of Georgia students,meanwhile,the career office found the most desirable trait in a future employer was the ability to offer secure employment(followed by professional development and training,and then inspiring purpose). Job security or stability was the second most important career goal(work-life balance wasnumber one),followed by a sense of being dedicated to a cause or to feel good about serving the greater good.36.Generation Zs graduating college this spring____.[A]are recognized for their abilities.[B]are optimistic about the labor market.[C]are in favor of office job offers.[D]are drawing growing public attention.37.Generation Zs are keenly aware____.[A]What their parents expect of them[B]How valuable a counselor’s advice is[C]What a tough economic situation is like[D]How they differ from past generation38.The word“assuage”(line9,paragraph2)is closest in meaning to____.[A]deepen[B]define[C]maintain[D]relieve39.It can be learned from Para.3that Generation Zs____.[A]give top priority to professional training[B]have a clear idea about their future jobs[C]care little about their job performance[D]think it hard to achieve work-life balance40.Michelsen thinks that compared with millennials,Gener ation Zs are____.[A]less realistic[B]less adventurous[C]more diligent[D]more generousPart BDirections:Rend the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraphs(1-4).There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET(10points)[A]Give compliments,just not too many[B]Put on a good face always[C]Tailor your interactions[D]Spend time with everyone[E]Reveal,don't hide,information[F]Slow down and listen[G]Put yourselves in others’shoesFive Ways to win Over Everyone in the officeIs it possible to like everyone in your office?Think about ow tough it is to get together15 people,much less50,who all get along perfectly.But unlike in friendships,you need coworkers. You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side.41_______________if you have a bone to pack with someone in your workplace you may try sty tight-lipped round them.But you wont be helping ether one of you.A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly,while those who hid lost trustworthiness.The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book,but rather,when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them you should just be honest.42_______________Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receive to others.We often feel the need to tell others how we feel,whether it’s a concern about a project a stray thought or a complaint.Those are all valid,but you need to take time to ear out your coworkers,too.In fat, rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don’t value their opinions.Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine,back-and-forth conversation,rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.43_______________It's common to have a"cubicle mate"or special confidant in a work setting.But in addition to those trusted coworkers,you should expand your onions and find out about all the people around/doc/1d2d2135d6d8d15abe23482fb4daa58da0111cb4.html e your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don’t always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job.It requires minimal effort and goes a long way.This will help to grow your internal network,in addition to being a nice break in the workday.44_______________Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear.And you don’t have to be someone’s boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project.This will help engender good will in others.But don’t overdo it or be fake about it.One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.45_______________This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off,but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction.Watch out for how they verbalize with others.Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters,while other are more straightforward.Jokes that work one person won’t necessarily land with another.So,adapt your style accordingly to type.Consider the person that you’re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese,write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points)It’s almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not really living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it’s entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as“the end of the world”,or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we’re meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they’re how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again. Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise. For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failure at something can help you discover your truest fiends,or help you findunexpected motivation to succeed.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:Suppose you are planning a tour of historical site for a group of a international students1)say something about the site2)give some tips for the tourYou should write about100words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name at the end of the/doc/1d2d2135d6d8d15abe23482fb4daa58da0111cb4.html e“Li Ming”instead.

2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语试题（新课标II卷，含解析）第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of cl othes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting moretrouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting itB.By turning it on and offC.By switching channelsD.By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A.CuriousB.AnxiousC.CautiousD.Humorous【答案】21. C22. A23. D24. D22.A 词义推测题。
