江苏省普通高校“专转本”统一考试大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufactures have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown。

These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.1、If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?A、They feel afraid.B、They breathe faster.C、Their blood pressure rise.D、Their hearts heat faster.2、Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in making .A、by experimenting with different colorsB、by developing the discipline of color psychologyC、by trying not to make mistakesD、by accumulating their various experiences3、Which of the following is NOT true?A、Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.B、Food should never be packaged in brown.C、Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.D、Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.4、Our preferences for certain colors are .A、dependent on our characterB、linked with the primitive menC、associated with psychologyD、associated with the time of the day5、The passage is about .A、color and traffic accidentsB、color and manufacturersC、which color might influence human feelingsD、why color affects human emotions and behaviorPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For very social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you bream the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contract for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals—“I know you,”“I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.6、It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .A、every glance has its significanceB、staring at a person is an expression of interestC、a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD、a glance conveys more meaning than words7、If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is .A、to look into another passenger’s eyesB、to avoid eye contact with other passengersC、to signal you are not a threat to anyoneD、to keep a distance from other passengers8、By “a dimming of the lights” (Lines 9~10, Para. 1), Erving Goffman means “”.A、closing one’s eyesB、turning off the lightsC、ceasing to glance at others B、reducing gaze-time to the minimum9、If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel .A、depressedB、curiousC、uneasyD、amused10、The passage mainly discusses .A、the limitation of eye contactB、the exchange of ides through eye contactC、proper behavior in various situationsD、the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.The spot, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). Originally a European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists’ Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officiallyseparated in competition.The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.There is a massed start with there field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by picked up to the course.11、What does the word “dismount” in paragraph one mean?A、Give up.B、Give in.C、Get out.D、Get off.12、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about cyclo-cross?A、The cyclists sometimes have to carry the bicycles instead of riding them.B、Riders in the race are arranged side by side in not more than two lines.C、The riders start simultaneously on the starting line.D、The riders are allowed to change their machines.13、Cyclo-cross became widely known .A、in the 1920sB、in the 1950sC、in 1925D、in 196714、According to the passage, cyclo-cross are usually held from September to March because .A、the winter is westerner’s favorite seasonB、winter can offer cyclists more risk and dangerC、the winter weather is more agreeableD、in winter the riders needn’t dismount and carry their bicycle15、Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A、The riders are competitive and food of taking risks.B、People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.C、Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.D、Helpers are often hired by the riders.Passage 4(非英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.The average life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, in the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane bring 6 to 12 mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.16、When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?A、When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.B、When it hits the coastline.C、When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.D、When the circling winds bring damages.17、What is the worst thing about hurricanes?A、The destructive effects of water.B、The heat they release.C、That they last about nine days on the average.D、Their strong winds.18、The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .A、the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB、the force of waves of waterC、the trade windsD、the increasing heat(英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new building which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built.Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problem in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.16、There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .A、cause a shortage of apartmentsB、worry those who rent apartments as homesC、increase the profits of landlordsD、encourage landlords to invest building apartments17、According to the critics, rent control .A、will always benefit those who rent apartmentsB、is unnecessaryC、will bring negative effects in the long runD、is necessary under all circumstances18、The problem of unemployment will arise .A、if the minimum wage is set too highB、if the minimum wage is set too lowC、if the workers are unskilledD、if the maximum wage is set19、The passage tell us .A、the relationship between supply and demandB、the possible results of government controlsC、the necessity of government controlD、the urgency of getting rid of government controls20、Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.B、Minimum wage can not always protect employees.C、Economic theory can predict the result of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.D、Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Part II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.
