自学考试英语(一)最后冲刺模拟试题4_自考_

自学考试英语(一)最后冲刺模拟试题4Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Everyone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their cars.Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurant serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women withchildren work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.Is the food at fast-food restaurants food for you? In general, it is all right, except that it has too much fat and salt.One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.26. In a fast-food restaurant, people ________.[A] stand up to eat [B] are served at table[C] eat in a hurry [D] serve themselves27. Usually fast food is rich in ________.[A] sugar and milk [B] salt and fat[C] meat and salt [D] beef and fish28. Fast-food restaurants are popular because ________.[A] people are free to order their food[B] the quality of the food is good[C] it is cheaper and faster to have meals there[D] people can find fast food restaurants everywhere29. Which of the following sentences is not correct?[A] The service is fast and the food is cheap in fast-food restaurants.[B] More people like eating fast food.[C] People can find the same food in all the restaurants.[D] People can take fast food out.30. What’s the main idea of the passage?[A] Americans eat enough hamburgers to make a line abound the world four times.[B] Fast-food restaurants are popular in the United States.[C] Some people can eat fast food in parks.[D] Mothers who work outside home often have meals infast-food restaurants.。

India's "Macaron(小圆饼)Queen"Pooja was a young Indian woman. She opened her own macaron store a few years ago. She should have been a lawyer. B ut while studying law at university in Mumbai, she decidedto quit. She wanted to do something more creative. She had helped her mother in the kitchen during her childhood, so she decided to work with food instead of legal cases.Pooja persuaded her parents to let her go to Switzerland to study cooking and management. Returning to Mumbai upon graduation, she set to work in her parents'kitchen. She wanted to develop her own macaron recipe(配方).It took her around six months of research and 60 failed recipes to finally get something right.When she had a recipe she was proud of, her businessman father agreed to put money into her business. Yet being both young and female, she faced challenges. "The biggest problem was to get people to take you seriously," she said. "For example, if I had to sign a lease(租约)for a place, or buy machinery, I would have to ask my father to make the phone calls for me."She named the business after "Le 15 Patisserie" in Paris, where she once lived. In Mumbai, very few people knew what a macaron was. People never tried one. Pooja decided to浙00012#英语(一)试题第1页(共8页)give away free samples.

TRANSLATIONCAREFUL READINGTelevision that most pervasion and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies. Very simply put, television works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image into electronic impulses,which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set),can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image. The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is one broadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques. Traditionally, we are most familiar with broadcast television; ABC, NBC and CBS have been the major purveyors of news,information, and entertainment. But now, in addition, we have CNN, Cable News Network, the first global TV news company. With its advent, the very definition of news was rewritten from something that has happened to something that is happening at the very moment you are hearing of it. In 1991 ,one of the most eventful years of this century, the world witnessed the dramatic and transforming impact of live televised news coverage on the latest developments. For turning viewers in 150 countries into instant witnesses of history, whereby influencing the dynamic of events, Robert Edward Turner president of CNN, was Time’s Man of the Year for 1991.1.With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? ( )A.Recent changes in modern technology.B.The marriage of broadcasting giants.C.The role of television in today’s society.D.The content of broadcast television programs.正确答案:C解析:主旨大意题。

As she once said of herself : “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.”No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls.( “We came in bunches, like radishes.”)at twelve she left home and wasin domestic service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge, She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Noses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (绣花) pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become to stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art , and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death she produced some 2,000 picture: detailed and livelydescription of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think real hard till I think of something real pretty, and then I paint it ,”she said.56.
