For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Group 1Passage 1The American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621. In the year, a special dinner was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The people who had settled there had left England because they were forbidden to keep their religious belief. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in sailing across the ocean. The ship which carried them was called “the Mayflower”. The North Atlantic was hard to travel. There were bad storms and huge waves. With the help of the Indians, they learned to live in the new land. These Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. They could enjoy religious freedom. They learned how to grow their crops in accordance with the climate and soil. Now when they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving celebration, they invited their neighbours, the Indian, to join them in dinner. They also wanted to pray God for the new life. They recalled the group of 102 men, women and children who left England. They remembered those who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts. They thought of the 65 day’s journey which tested their strength.1. The first celebration of a day of Thanksgiving is about _______.A. 100 years oldB. 200 years oldC. 300 years oldD. 400 years old2. Why had they left England?A. Because of religious problem.B. To set up a new religion.C. To learn new farming.D. Because of the Indians.3. The climate and soil in Massachusetts are _______.A. similar to that of EnglandB. different from that of EnglandC. similar to that of PlymouthD. different from that of Plymouth4. They give thanks while remembering _______.A. the new society of IndiansB. their friends who died on the way to the new landC. their former religionD. to invite the Indians5. How long did the trip last?A. 6 weeksB. 2 months or moreC. half a yearD. 102 daysPassage 2The climate of any place is the kind of weather. It usually has over a long period of time.The kind of homes we live in, the clothes we wear, the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live. Climate is complicated; it is affected by many things. If you live near one of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for you do not get as much direct sunshines as you would get farther form the poles. If you live near the equator, you live in a warm or very hot climate, for this is the region where the sun shines almost straight down.How much rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. You may live in a hot, dry land, where little rain falls. This will be a desert. Its climate is quite different from that of a rain forest, which may be the same distance from the equator but rain falls almost every day. The amount of rain that falls or snow, in a cold land depends upon the winds, upon the nearby mountains, and upon the currents in nearby seas. Rainfall depends on many different things.6. “Climate” means ________.A. the weather of a certain placeB. the fine, cloudy, rainy or snowy weatherC. the weather of a certain timeD. the general weather of a place over a long time7. “…even the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live”really means________.A.

What may be the best title for the passage?A. Climate and WeatherB. Climate Around the WorldC. ClimateD. Climate in Different CountriesPassage 3In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed.It’s a new market,” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.11. What did a college degree mean to people in the past?A. It was a proof of their professional skills.B. It would guarantee their quick promotion.C. It built up their confidence in the job market.D. It would help them to start an academic career.12. Ryan Steward has not got any job offer because _______.A. there are too many graduates of his majorB. he wants to find a job with very high salaryC. he has not received a degree in the universityD. the job market has changed greatly since 200213. According to the passage, _______ had the best job prospects in 2002.A. computer scienceB. accountingC. teachingD. nursing14. How did students make preparation for finding jobs?A. They prepared all the timeB. They worked during summer vacationsC. They did short-time jobs.D. Both B and C15. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. the value of a college degree has decreased nowB. new college graduates today can’t find jobsC. a college degree can still lead to a good jobD. graduates must prepare early to find jobsPassage 4Jack went to a barber-shop and had his hair cut, but when he came out, he was not happy with the result. When his friend Bob saw him, he laughed and said, “What has happened to your hair, Jack?”Jack said, “I tried a new barber-shop today, because I wasn’t quite satisfied with my old one, but this one seems even worse.”Bob agreed. “Yes, I think you’re right, Jack.

This income is used to pay regular and day-to-day expenses such as rent, food, movies, gasoline, newspapers, haircuts, and so on. But sup-pose a person is faced with an unexpected expense too big to be paid out of current income, it may be an illness or costly household repairs. In Frank and Sandy Dexter’s case, the roof on their house had to be replaced. They did not have enough savings to cover the cost, so they borrowed the money needed. They then repaid the loan with small and regular payment out of their future income. By using credit, they avoided what might have been a serious hardship. Credit also enables consumers to buy goods and services when they need them most. For example, when does a married couple most need a house? While their children are young and living at home. It would take most couples many years to save enough money to pay cash for a house. By then, their children would be grown, and the house would not be needed so much. In the meanwhile, they would have to continue paying rent out of current income. By using credit, a couple can buy a house and live n it while they pay for it. The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment. What is true of houses is true of many goods that consumers buy today, such as appliances, automobiles, and furniture. By using credit, consumers can “buy now and pay later” as the ads say. They have the use of the goods while paying for them. Today many high school graduates are using credit to pay for additional education. They will pay off their loan with money earned in the future from full-time jobs.20.By using credit, people can______.A.pay regular and day-to-day expensesB.avoid unnecessary paymentC.save money to cover future costD.pay an unexpected expense too big to be paid at the moment正确答案:D21.A married couple most needs a house______.A.after they have spent years saving enough money to buy it in cashB.when their children have grown upC.when their children are still young and living at homeD.when they can rent it out of current income正确答案:C22.“The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment”means______.A.they would rent the houseB.they had bought the houseC.they wouldn’t pay for the houseD.they could buy the house otherwise正确答案:D23.With regard to credit, what do houses have in common with goods that consumers buy today?A.Both can be bought on credit.B.Neither can be used until the loan has been paid.C.Both must be paid as soon as they are bought.D.Both should be paid in cash.正确答案:A24.What’s true of high school graduates today?A.They can’t get additional education without money.B.They can get additional education without payment.C.They can have additional education when they have full-time jobsD.They can have additional education now and pay for it later.正确答案:DFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few —for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship.” In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly. At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background. We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence. Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests —they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.”The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink! In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.25.Which of the following factors are very important in developing friendships?A.Age and background.B.Economic and social positions.C.Race and looks.D.Same interests and behavior.正确答案:A26.The passage tells us that sometimes a face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as a sign of______.A.nervousnessB.confidenceC.unfriendlinessD.distrust正确答案:C27.When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,”they mean that______.A.they watch the same TV programsB.they are the same in all respectsC.they listen to the same radio programsD.they understand and agree with each other28.We learn from the passage that______.A.friendship can overcome differences in experienceB.there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC.putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD.friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices正确答案:BTHYSSEN ELEV ATORS is one of the leading elevators companies in the world with more than 120 branch companies around the globe.

All the major countries of the world have computers, and the developing countries have also realized that computers play a big part in their economic development. Usually what one sees is a machine that looks like a typewriter; it is called a computer terminal. But computers are also used in unseen ways. For example, they determine how much time there should be between traffic signals to prevent traffic problems and to keep millions of cars moving in an orderly flow. When you buy a car, a factory process that is controlled by a computer enables you to obtain a car with your own choice of colors and special features in just a few weeks’ time. In medical laboratories, computers have reduced the mistakes in testing, and they have saved doctors’countless hours of work. Before long, medical histories of all Americans will be kept in computer “bands”. If a person becomes ill far from his home, local doctors will be able to get his medical record immediately. In science, the computer has performed in minutes experiments which would have required thousands of hours of work by human hands and minds. Most experts agree that computers are necessary to solve the problems of increasing population, city living, and public affairs. Without computers, the jobs of solving these problems would require millions of workers to do tons of paperwork. Before any computer can work on any problem, it must be told what to do. Someone must program the computer, step-by-step. At first this was done by having the programmer write out his instructions in the form of numbers which would be “understood”by the machine. Within a short time, attempts were made to perform a system that would enable humans to communicate more easily with machines. Different “languages”were developed by means of which the programmer could use words that had meanings for them, and another program in the machine would translate the words into thecomputer’s number system. Without special training, it is impossible to understand exactly how a computer does its work. However, many people without scientific training use computers in their daily lives. In some American schools, for example, young children are being taught by computers for part of the school day. The use of computers in school has worried some Americans. There are those who fear it will remove human element from teacher-student relationships. On the other hand, there are educators who consider computer program a valuable means of freeing teachers from the more boring and tiring tasks, thus enabling them to spend more time with a single student. In education, as in business and industry, science and medicine, computers play an important part in almost every type of operation. The future will bring major advances in computer technology, which will aid man in his efforts to improve the world.32.The author has written the passage mainly for______.A.young childrenB.experienced operatorsC.common readersD.scientists in the computer field正确答案:C33.Operators of computers should give instructions to work in the form of program______.A.which are introduced to turn into computersB.through which computers could process “language”C.which could tell computers what to do and how to do itD.all of the above正确答案:C34.The arguments for computer program used in education were that______.A.computers like toys would attract much attention of school childrenB.there are lots of buttons you can press for doing anything at your willC.computer program would take the place of teachers, turning a school into a computer worldD.computers could give teachers the opportunity to spare time to deal with students respectively正确答案:C35.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?A.The world will enjoy the beautiful picture of the computers.B.Computer technology will change the human life.C.Computer would work freely in the future.D.Computer would work with a great memory-storage and at highest speed.正确答案:BClozeThe Open University was created in 1969 to provide university education for anyone aged 21 or over who wanted it,【36】his or her educational background.

This decline has raised serious concerns among scientists and farmers alike, as honeybees play a crucialrole in the pollination of many crops. Without bees, our food supply would be severely affected.6. The decline in honeybee populations has been attributed toa variety of factors, including the use of pesticides, which can be lethal to the bees. In addition, the loss of natural habitats has made it increasingly difficult for bees to find food and reproduce.7. Some scientists believe that climate change may also be contributing to the problem. Warmer temperatures can disrupt the bees' life cycles, making it harder for them to survive.8. Despite the challenges, there are things that individuals can do to help. Planting flowers in gardens and public spaces can provide bees with the nectar they need to thrive.9. Governments and organizations are also taking action. Efforts are being made to reduce pesticide use and to protect and restore habitats that are important for bees.10. It is crucial that we act now to protect these vital pollinators. The future of our food supply depends on it.三、翻译(共20分,每题10分)11. 将下列句子从英文翻译成中文:"The use of pesticides has been linked to the decline in honeybee populations, as they can disrupt the bees' ability to navigate and forage for food."Answer: 农药的使用与蜜蜂数量的下降有关,因为它们会干扰蜜蜂的导航和觅食能力。

The Earth's climate is changing rapidly due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial production. These activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.One of the main effects of climate change is the melting of the polar ice caps. This results in rising sea levels, which can lead to flooding in coastal areas. Furthermore, climate change is also causing more extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves.To combat climate change, we need to reduce our carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. We also need to plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If we do not take action now, the consequences of climate change will be catastrophic.Questions:1. What are some human activities that contribute to climate change?2. What is one of the main effects of climate change?3. How can we combat climate change?Part III.

Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow.”This remark was made by a Shanghai student when speaking to his fellow students at the Nixon Library in California, USA. He was one of 80 middle school students, from China attending a month-long “Youth Summit”. The summit was to mark the 25th anniversary of President Nixon’s journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U. S. relations. The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing the friendship between young students of the two countries through visits and discussions. Seventy-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together. One Chinese student said, “I didn’t find it particularly difficult to talk with Americans. We have our differences, but we have a lot in common. Dialogue is good for us.”20.“Youth Summit” (line 3, paragraph 2) refers to______.A.visits to the Nixon LibraryB.the Chinese students visit to the USAC.a meeting discussing relations between China and USD.activities to strengthen the ties between the Chinese and American students 正确答案:D21.The student from Shanghai thought about the time 25 years ago because it was when Nixon______.A.diedB.visited ChinaC.became US PresidentD.started building the library in his name正确答案:B22.The text is mainly about______.A.the China-US relationsB.the Nixon LibraryC.President NixonD.the Youth Summit正确答案:DAs the 1800s ended, dance, like most other arts, was fairly conventional. If people went to a dance performance, they probably went to ballet. This dance had precise moves and rigid postures. People enjoyed ballet, and it was widely accepted. However, at around that time a young woman from San Francisco entered the scene. She would change dance forever. Her name was Isadora Duncan. Duncan was born into an artistic family. Even as a child she loved dancing and taught dance classes for young children. She quickly developed some very strong ideas for what dance should be. Duncan took her inspiration from nature. She loved the Pacific Ocean and the towering pine trees of her native California. She wanted to represent these natural elements in her dances. She also looked at people’s natural movements, especially the movements of children. Running, skipping, kneeling —these were things done by children all over the world. Duncan incorporated them into dance routines. She believed that older dances were rather lifeless; hers, she felt, should express emotion. When Duncan performed her dances in places like Chicago and New York, she caused a sensation. People were not prepared to see a young woman in a thin, flowing dress running and leaping across the stage barefoot. She had to go to Europe for acceptance. Received more favorably in London, she gradually opened dance schools in many cities. Soon she was touring and performing everywhere. Her ideas paved the way for what we know as modern dance today. Duncan’s deathwas as startling as her life. As she rode in a open sports car in France, the long-scarf around her neck tangled in the car’s wheels and she was strangled.23.This passage is mainly about______.A.Isadora Duncan’s early lifeB.Isadora Duncan’s contribution to danceC.why people in the 1 800s liked balletD.Isadora Duncan’s death正确答案:B24.Duncan got her best early acceptance in______.A.ChicagoB.San FranciscoC.New YorkD.London正确答案:D25.Early audiences found Duncan’s performances______.A.foolishB.boringC.worthwhileD.shocking正确答案:D26.The word “However”at the beginning of the second paragraph signals______.A.that similar information is to followB.an argumentC.a contrastD.a description正确答案:CEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the sameproblem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine. Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious (无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.27.According to the passage, Elias Howe was______.A.the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB.much more hard-working than other inventorsC.the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD.the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams正确答案:C28.The problem Howe was trying to solve was______.A.what kind of thread to useB.how to design a needle which would not breakC.where to put the needleD.how to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle正确答案:D29.Thomas Edison is spoken of because______.A.he also tried to invent a sewing machineB.he got some of his ideas from dreamsC.he was one of Howe’s best friendsD.he also had difficulty in falling asleep正确答案:B30.Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”because______.A.strange images are used to communicate ideasB.images which have no meaning are usedC.we can never understand the real meaningD.only specially trained people can understand them正确答案:AIn one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider-story” is often told. Robert Bruce, the leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span (跨过) the gap. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50 000 ways it won’t work.”So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to live with yourself, even though you maybe have failed.31.This passage deals with______.A.failure and successB.two sides of failureC.the “spider-story”D.the invention of light bulb正确答案:B32.The first paragraph is mainly about______.A.the value of failureB.how people failC.famous failuresD.how not to fail正确答案:A33.The example of Robert Bruce shows that______.A.failure must come before successB.we should face failure directly and overcome difficultiesC.nature will help us if we let itD.people who fail have plenty of company正确答案:B34.The thing the writer does NOT tell you to do to deal with failure is to______.A.check out your goals to see if they are right for youB.think about failure as part of your lifeC.think about failure to find out what went wrongD.avoid things that are beyond you正确答案:D35.Even if we have failed, we should______.A.not think about it any moreB.learn to accept itC.learn to live with othersD.take it easy正确答案:BClozeThere is a small film society in my village.

The 15-foot-high, 25-foot-wide, 1 500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies. To the common people of the empire, who had been forced to build the wall, it was not worth it, however. The wall, and other public works completed by the Qin Dynasty, had caused great losses on the wealth and human life of the country. As a result, an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began. Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance, the Great Wall attracts tourists, scientists, and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.20.According to the passage, the Han Dynasty was able to come into power because______.A.enemies were not effectively prevented from invading the empireB.it had started the work on the wall and really controlled it all alongC.People rebelled against the emperor who forced them to work on the Great WallD.the Qin emperor lost all his personal wealth building the Great Wall正确答案:C21.The main idea of this passage is that______.A.the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was a slave driverB.invading wars were common in ancient ChinaC.the common people of ancient China were very poorD.the human achievement of the Great Wall is widely appreciated正确答案:D22.The writer has not directly stated, but would support the opinion that______.A.Astronauts have taken a personal interest in the history of the Great Wall of ChinaB.the common people of the Qin Dynasty were the ones who provided the labor in constructing the Great WallC.work on the Great Wall was started before the Qin Dynasty came into existenceD.the Great Wall of China is a great human achievement and was probably worth the effort it took正确答案:DMcDonald’s is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company’s symbol Ronald McDonald is now (or so the company claims) the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus. The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick”McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service. After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A. Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald’s chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers’chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc’s claim that the chain was his creation. Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984) at McDonald’s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald’s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968) and the Egg McMuffm (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald —“in any language he means fun”—onto television in 1963. Every three hours, a new McDonald’s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace) and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection). McDonald’s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve go time to clean.”23.McDonald’s was founded______.A.by a kitchen equipment salesman.B.in California.C.by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.D.after World War I.正确答案:B24.What do we know about McDonald’s brothers?A.They were not McDonald’s founders although they named the restaurant.B.Their business was still in depression after several years.C.They had clear job separation on business.D.They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.正确答案:C25.Which is not Kroc’s contribution to McDonald’s?A.He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald onto television.B.Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame.C.He spotted the gap in post-war market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D.He built McDonald’s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.正确答案:C26.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.The single biggest food provider was, however, not named after its founder.B.The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C.Employees in McDonald’s have no time to lean.D.The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to be the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.正确答案:D27.This passage is mainly concerned with______.A.brief history of McDonald’s.B.McDonald’s success.C.Ray A.Kroc, leader of the McDonald’s empire.D.McDonald brothers, founder of McDonald’s.正确答案:AOn Oct. 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for the information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computer’ s screens. At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses (病毒). Obviously all these computers had been infected (传染) by computer viruses. It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all have excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. This kind of computer viruses are named Jerusalem (耶路撒冷) Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes the]/ will attack the computers by lowering the functions, damaging normal programs or even getting rid of all the information. We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.28.The group of young men created the viruses to______.A.damage all the computersB.test their good abilityC.play tricks on operators of the computersD.attack foreign computer experts正确答案:C29.According to the passage, computer viruses seem to______.A.have been in nature for yearsB.be difficult to get rid of at presentC.exist in any computersD.be able to be got rid of in the near future正确答案:B30.The most serious damage caused by the viruses is that______.A.the computer’s functions are loweredB.the normal programs are damagedC.the computers infected by the viruses can no longer be usedD.all the information stored in the computers is gone正确答案:D31.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.Scientists have found a way to get rid of the viruses.B.The Jerusalem Viruses are a great harm to human’s health.C.The viruses will come to a new computer after staying in the old one for some time.D.Last year four countries found out their computers were infected by viruses.正确答案:DI know a woman who likes to do grocery shopping, but 1 also know a whole lot of people who hate it. People who hate the shopping are likely to like supermarkets, those huge stores where almost everything you need to feed your family or to clean and support your home is able to be got in one place. The supermarket saves me both money and time. The little corner grocery store is often more conveniently found, more pleasant and open at late hour when the supermarket is closed. But the grocer must ask you for more money than the big market because he can only buy a small number of cases of one product, while a supermarket can buy cheaper and can sell cheaper to you. However, food is very far from cheap so I always hunt for bargains. I check advertisements in newspapers and the market’s “sale” papers, and try to make up a shopping list that includes “sale” items.32.People like to go shopping in supermarkets because______.A.they are quite hugeB.there is almost everythingyou need in themC.they are conveniently foundD.they often close late正确答案:B33.The grocer asks you for more money______.A.though his store opens at late hours.B.though he buys a small number of productsC.because he can’t buy things cheaperD.because he appears to be pleasant正确答案:C34.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The grocery store is more convenient than the supermarket.B.The grocery store opens very early.C.The supermarket can buy a great number of cheaper things at a time.D.The supermarket can save you both money and time.正确答案:B35.According to the writer, food is most expensive______.A.so he always tries to hunt for bargainsB.but he likes to check advertisements in newspapersC.but he often reads the market’s “sale” papersD.but he tries to make up a shopping list正确答案:AClozeThroughout history gold has been important in human society.

河南省专项升本必刷2000题英语答案
河南省专项升本必刷2000题英语答案The way people hold to the belief that a fun-illed, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement,religious commitment, self-improvement.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is ill with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children ever know the joys of watching a child grow upor of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.1. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because.A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibiltiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he re mains singleC. he finds more fiun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement2. Raising children, in the author's opinion, is.A. a moral dutyB. a tharildess jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain3. Fro m the last paragraph, we learm that erwy sormelimes stems lormA. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance4. To understand what true happiness in. one must___A. have as much fiun as possible during one's lifetimeB. make every elfort to liberale oneself trom painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun5. What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.分析:1.问汇:专升本考试核心词汇、四级问汇2.主题:生活百科,社会热点,名人传记,科学技术3.答题技巧:a.掌握“词汇+语法”确保看懂句子、文章b.回文精准定位关键词和关键句c.同义表达为答案PartⅡClose (1*20 points)You've just been given a major task and want to do it well, but it seems that the minute you get started, you' re interrupted. First, Jane stops by. Then, it's the phone. Later, your boss tells you to drop everything-- she's got a rush job. And you have that meeting at three!All these things are important. If only you could rearrange them without breaking your concentration, And you can! We ve heard about Quality time at home-- why not quality time on the job.Begin by finding out those parts of the day during which you' re most creative.You may work best in the morning or in the afternoon. No matter--just find your time and build a wall around it.Say that for you, quality time begins at ten, Focus on your major task then, and don't let anything interrupt you. If you have a secretary, tell her or him to hold all calls and visitors, if you don't, try to ask a colleague to help you. The point is that both outsiders and colleagues will know that you will not be available for a part of each day, Why? Because you are working!Prepare for this special block of time as carefully as you would for an important meeting, Don't waste precious minutes searching formemos of notes. Be ready to begin precisely at ten, and get the most out of every second, You might like to use your block simply for thinking about a project,problem or a new idea.Start small-- maybe thirty or forty minutes, three times a week, building up to at least an hour.Sure, you'll have to chip away at your block a itte so metimes, but guard that hour as you would any other valued possession.分析:1.整体上有一定的难度,语法、词汇基础要打好;2.固定搭配多加积累;3.注意把握上下文联系。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.You are a German living in Berlin. One day you’re walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger approached with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying, in English: “Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?” What should you do? (a) Run away; (b) Call the police; or, (c) Listen closely for the device to say, in German, “Konnen Sie mir bitte sager, which Sauerkraut Kaufen Kann?”The most appropriate response would be (c) because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to he the world’s first portable transistor—a hand-held microcomputer that—at the same time converts one spoken language into another.The four-pound battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the creation of Advanced Products and Technologies an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late April—at a price of $1,500—it will be capable of converting spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges (盒式储存器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. The item will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S. Introduction, with cartridges that covert Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.The Voice uses a microchip (微型集成块) and artificial Intelligence to translate Languages. It is started by voice command and produces voice output through abuilt-in speaker. Then the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another Language.16. The stranger holding the Voice seems to be ________.A) asking for some informationB) greeting the GermanC) amusing himselfD) practising his German17. The German sentence “Konnen Sie Kann?” means ________.A) “Why don’t you ask the policeman.”B) “Would you listen closely for the device to say?”C) “Can you say it again, please?”D) “Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?”18. The word “speaker” in the last paragraph refers to ________.A) the person who speaks to the deviceB) a component part of the VoiceC) the person who speaks GermanD) the speech produced by the Voice19. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A) The voice is an invention of an electronics company.B) The voice is a hand-held translator.C) The voice is new product in wide use.D) The voice is mainly a microcomputer.20. The Voice can translate ________.A) from German into any of the other four languages mentionedB) from and into English by using the same cartridgesC) between any two of the above-mentioned languagesD) from English into any of the other four languages or the other way round Passage TwoQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Computers may one day turn night into day—with good old, natural sunlight. Colossal computer-controlled mirrors, thousands of feet across, may one day orbit the earth, reflecting sunlight onto a darkened United States.Some Scientists say that 16 of these mirrors, each about a half mile across, could aim their reflected light at one area on the earth that was about 200 miles by 300 miles. That much light would equal about 56 moons.The mirrors would be so high that they could catch the sun’s light as it was shining on the other side of the earth. The mirrors could orbit—thousands of miles high—at the same speed as the earth turns on its axis (轴). That way, the mirrors would always be over the same spot.The aluminum-coated (涂铝的), plastic mirrors could be folded up and packed into a spaceship, according to the scientists. Once released a few hundred miles in space, the mirrors, powered by a solar-powered engine, could mark the rest of the trip into space on their own.The scientists say that the computer-controlled mirrors could also be made to tilt (倾斜) slowly, so the reflected sunlight would sweep slowly along the surface of the earth. For example, as night fell, the mirrors could be tilted to light up Boston. Later on, as darkness spread slowly westward. Chicago, for example, then San Francisco could be lit up. The reflected sunlight would allow these cities to save up electricity. And in emergencies, such as power-failures, the mirrors could light up the affected area.What no one knows yet is what effect this artificial daytime would have on plants, animals, and humans. Would it confuse some animals and harm plants that are used to regular day-night cycles? The scientists recommend that studies be done to find out what had effects there might be.21. The word “colossal” in Line 3 most likely means ________.A) nuclear-poweredB) orbitingC) giantD) spinning22. Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the mirrors?A) They would be made of plastic and coated with aluminum.B) They could be launched directly into space.C) They would stay in the same position over the earth.D) They could reflect sunlight to a large area on the earth.23. The reflected light should sweep slowly along the surface of the earthbecause the mirrors ________.A) would be operated by solar-powered enginesB) would orbit thousands of miles high to catch the sun’s lightC) could move around the earth at the same speed as the earth turns on itsaxisD) could be made to adjust their angles24. The purpose for turning night into day is to _______A) confuse animals and plantsB) light up more citiesC) save energy and deal with emergenciesD) enable people to work longer hours25. The writer of this passage ________.A) gives an objective account of the mirrorsB) seems to be much worried about the effect of the mirrorsC) is in favour of the wide use of the mirrorsD) suggests that artificial daylight is harmful to living beingPassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capital income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 per cent in Western Europe and less than 4 per cent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it function. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a conversation of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably ________.A) a news itemB) part of an introduction of a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement27. What is most important to agriculture is ________.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capital income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods28. The word “this” in Line 4 refers to ________.A) the provision of food and raw materialsB) the productivity of farmersC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage FourQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Before 1945, hardly anyone outside of New Mexico had ever heard of Alamogordo.In 1960 its population numbered 21,723. Ever since 1898, when the town had been built by the Southern Pacific Railroad, Alamogordo had been a lonely town. The land around it was largely desert, and largely empty.Because it was isolated and because the weather was almost always clear and peaceful, a spot of desert near Alamogordo was chosen as the last site for the first atomic bomb ever exploded. The secret name of the test was Zeo.At dawn on July 16, 1945, the atomic bomb was set off. Observers agreed that they had witnessed something unlike anything ever seen by men before, a huge, colorful fireball, more brilliant than the sun flashing as it rose for miles into the air. Never before had men released so much power at one time, nor had any nation ever possessed weapon as terrible and destructive as the atomic bomb.For several weeks, the test was kept secret. When an atomic bomb was dropped from an American plane on Hiroshima, Japan, newspapers and radio stations all over America told of the test of the bomb in New Mexico. Almost everybody was amazed to learn where the bomb had been made and tested; the deserts of the Southwest had hidden the secret well.When news of the atomic bomb and its destructiveness was announced, people all over the world wondered what other new weapons were being prepared in the New Mexico desert. Some people doubted that the secret of making atomic bombs could be kept from other countries. Some even doubted the wisdom of using so powerful a weapon. But no one doubted that a new kind of war—and a new kind of world—had begun at Alamogordo, one summer morning in 1945.31. What is the main topic of this passage?A) The secret of Alamogordo.B) A new kind of war.C) The destructive force of the first atomic bomb.D) The selection of the test site for the first atomic bomb.32. Which of the following is the main reason for choosing Alamogordo as thetest site?A) It always had an enjoyable climate.B) It was connected to other cities by a railway.C) Its location would hide the secret well.D) It was situated in southwestern New Mexico.33. When was the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima?A) As soon as the secret was revealedB) At dawn on July 16, 1945C) Immediately after the testD) Several weeks after the test34. After the first atomic bomb explosion, everybody agreed that ________.A) it was wise to choose Alamogordo as the test siteB) man had entered the age of nuclear warfareC) it was not wise to use such a powerful weaponD) it was not possible to keep the technology of making atomic bombssecret35. The tone of this passage is one of ________.A) anxietyB) satisfactionC) encouragementD) fear。
