Life on the FarmLife on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. Atthe same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fieldsand sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modem farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend theirdays doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to be milked, andfields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modem farm life is in the way farms are run. It is commonfor even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farmcorporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modem practices change farm life forever.1.

2018年4月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题课程代码：00012一、阅读判断Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in RetirementIvy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says.The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm.As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread.Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired.Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society.1.

"We wanted to make the best gelato in the world and we didn't know how to make any gelato!" Fed recalls. That did not stop them though and the business has become more and more successful.The word gelato means "frozen" originally. Since ancient Rome, people have been enjoying cold desserts. Many think gelato is just an Italian name for ice cream. But actually it is a different product. According to Fed and Guido, the difference between ice cream and gelato is the amount of fat in the product. In ice cream you have an average of 17-18% of fat, but with Italian gelato you have 10%.It was Guido who first came up with the idea. He thought that if they got the best materials, they could make top quality gelato. Fed then put a business plan together and the two decided to go for it. The only rule they had when they started out was to stick to their guiding principle to try to create the world's best gelato. Their efforts paid off. Sales of their gelato have doubled in Italy every year since 2008. It outpaced (超过) the growth of every other type of iced dessert by some way. The company grows from two employees in 2003 to nearly 700 employees today.According to a market analysis, Italians' love for gelato will last for the next few years. These two will be happy to learn the news.11. It can be learned from the first paragraph that Fed and GuidoA. used to be wine makersB. knew how to make gelatoC. had no experience in food industryD. planned to create a new dessert12. Paragraph 2 tells us thatA. Fed and Guido invented gelatoB. Italians prefer gelato to ice creamC. gelato is the world's best dessertD. gelato has less fat than ice cream13. The guiding principle Fed and Guido followed isA. using secret materialsB. sticking to their business planC. making top quality gelatoD. hiring the best employees14. Since 2008, the sales of Fed and Guido's gelato haveA. remained the sameB. reached record highC. grown as fast as other dessertsD. increased steadily15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. The World's Best GelatoB. Italians' Love for GelatoC. The History of GelatoD. Gelato Shops in Italy三、概括段落大意和补全句子Newspapers in the Classroom①Creating a classroom newspaper will be a great fun. First of all, decide who is going to work on what section of the newspaper. For example, one group could handle the Sports section, and another could take care of the Arts. All students should have some say as to which news stories will be included.②Next, before you begin any work, it's a good idea to have a look at a few different examples. Collect some from home, or find them at your local or school library. As you are reading through your newspapers, take note of what parts of the newspaper impress you the most. If the newspapers you have are old and no longer being used by anyone, cut some of your favorite sections and pictures out. They can be used later on.③Keep track of your ideas by separating them into sections, much the same as a real paper is in sections. Do you want a sports section? An arts page? A science section? These are the things you need to decide.④One really wonderful way to decide what kind of feeling your newspaper will have is to carry out a survey, either in the classroom or the entire school. Questions you could ask include: What do you like reading about? Do you prefer pictures or stories? And what do you like best in the newspapers you read?⑤When you are set with your ideas, you will have to think about the next step which is actually putting the newspaper together. Decisions to be made include: How many pages will your newspaper have? Who will write the articles, draw the pictures and/or take the photos? How many articles will the newspaper have?Task 116. Paragraph ①:17. Paragraph ②:18. Paragraph ③:19. Paragraph ④:20. Paragraph ⑤:Task 221. All students should voice their opinions on22. You can find your newspaper examples at23. When reading the newspaper, pay attention to the parts24. To decide the feeling of the newspaper, a survey can be done inBoxing for Fitness (健身)When it comes to boxing, most people think of two strong athletes in a ring trying to destroy each other with their fists. 26 It is a sport that people can get a great exercise from.Boxing for fitness is fast becoming a popular way to exercise. It is easy to understand why when you consider all the benefits of the sport. You will gain increased speed, skill and strength.27 You will learn the basic attack skills and how to combine them effectively.So you may wonder how I got started in boxing.

After a conversation with my boss at lunch one day he suggested I come to a boxing class with him. He is a very fit man in his 40s. 29 And he told me all I needed to bring was a bottle of water and a towel.If I have learnt anything from the experience, it is not to be afraid to try something new.

It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere.

Fresh fruit was healthy for her grandparents, too.Mary went to a fruit store and sampled the red oranges. She really liked them and bought a kilogram. Then she tried three kinds of grapefruit. The white ones were sour. The star grapefruit were interesting, but the dark red grapefruit were great.

Learning to cooperate with others towards a common goal in sport is what builds character, friendship and important life skills for players.(2) Working towards a common goal will keep the team firmly together. Entering into a new season in sports, you might only know a few of the players on your team. Some of the players may be people you do not like. But when your team decides to be the winner of the season, personal differences are often set aside for the common good of the team. By the end of the season, players who have fought through the whole season may become good friends, much like brothers.(3) For kids and young adults, team sports offer a way for them to get out and meet with friends. This can help them avoid spending too much time at home watching television and playing video games. Team work teaches people how to help each other and encourage each other. It can also give players a greater respect for one another and can build friendships that last a lifetime.(4) Team work in sports offers a way for people to compete for something together. It is important to know that winning is not everything in sports and healthy competition can be good for people. Working towards a goal can teach people the value of hard work, commitment and devotion. Team sports are a great way to learn these values.(5) Team work in sports can help young people develop stronger communication skills. As every member must work for the same goal, they learn how to work with one another successfully.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:18. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221.

【00015】英语(二) 2018年4月试题和答案

2018年4月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试英语（二）试卷(课程代码00015)第一部分、阅读判断（第1〜10题，每瓸1分，共10分）Life on the FarmLife on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and most efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such task s used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modem farm life is in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm . Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever.1. Factory farms now produce most of the products.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. Farmers prefer to grow healthy and organic food.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3. Small family farms find it hard to survive.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given4.

Most farmers cannot afford new machines.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given7. Modern farmers do not have to work hard.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given8. New technologies have not changed farm management.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given9. There are fewer and fewer family-run farms now.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given10. Modern farms are hiring workers from cities.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given第二部分、阅读选择（第11〜15题，每题2分，共10分）Christmas GiftMary didn’t know what to send to her grandparents for Christmas. It was always hard to choose a good Christmas present for them. They didn’t need much, and it was ha rd for her to be creative every year.One year, she sent them a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere. Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells, but they probably weren’t any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents’ house was small, and they couldn’t hang up very many.This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it was colder and they couldn’t get fresh fruit all year, or at least not oranges and grapefruit. Fresh fruit was healthy for her grandparents, too.Mary went to a fruit store and sampled the red oranges. She really liked them and bought a kilogram. Then she tried three kinds of grapefruit. The white ones were sour. The star grapefruit were interesting,but the dark red grapefruit were great. So she got a kilogram.Mary carefully packed the fruit in a box to keep them safe and dry in case one got smashed and its juice got everywhere. Then she wrote the address on the box and mailed it from the store. She felt happy with what she bought.A few days later, May got a phone call from her grandparents, thanking her for the lovely fruit. They said it was a healthy, tasty, and very thoughtful gift. Mary had never felt so good before.11.

Mary’s grandparen ts .A. loved her giftB. sent her a cardC. wrote her a letterD. put her gift away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）Team Work in Sports①Teams that win in team sports are often those that work well together. Learning to coopera te with others towards a common goal in sports is what builds character, friendship and important life skills for players.②Working towards a common goal will keep the team firmly together. Entering into a new season in sports, you might only know a few of the players on your team. Some of the players may be people you do not like. But when your team decides to be the winner of the season, personal differences are often setaside for the common good of the team. By the end of the season, players who ha ve fought through the whole season may become good friends, much like brothers.③ For kids and young adults, team sports offer a way for them to get out and meet with friends. This can help them avoid spending too much time at home watching television and playing video games. Team work teaches people how to help each other and encourage each other. It can also give players a greater respect for one another and can build friendships that last a lifetime.④Team work in sports offers a way for people to compete for something together. It is important to know that winning is not everything in sports and healthy competition can be good for people. Working towards a goal can teach people the value of hard work, commitment and devotion. Team sports are a great way to learn these values.⑤ Team work in sports can help young people develop stronger communication skills. As every member must work for the same goal, they learn how to work with one another successfully.Task 116 Paragraph①17、Paragraph②18、Paragraph③19、Paragraph④20、Paragraph⑤A、The common goalB、Healthy competitionC、Team cooperationD、Exercising and friendshipE、Problems between team membersF、Building communication skillsTask 221、Cooperation in team sports helps build .A、set a goal22、When your team decides to win the season, B、characteryou set aside .

Classmates, bells, and even cheerful decorations is school can make it hard for some children to concentrate. 26In some schools, conditions are bad for children’s safety and health.27 Homeschooling parents can control their children’s environment to make sure it is safe and healthy.When students sit in a classroom surrounded by classmates, under the tight control of adults, they find it very hard to function in a normal. Homeschooling children don’t have to stay in the school.28 They can interact with people in familiar situations, and they feel they can interact with people as adults.School bullying(以强欺弱) is a serious problem.29Although schools are starting to deal with this problem, many kids are still afraid of going to school. Homeschooling kids can choose who they associate with and walk away from an uncomfortable situation.Schools are cutting field trips.30On the contrary, homeschooling can move outdoors, to the beach or the zoo.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points, 2 points each)3Passage 1There are two basic differences between the large and the small enterprises. In the small enterprise you operate primarily through personal contacts. In the large enterprise you have established “policies,”“channels”of organization, and fairly rigid procedures. In the small enterprise you have, moreover, immediate effectiveness in a very small area. You can see the effect of your work and of your decisions right away, once you are a little above the ground floor. In the large enterprise even the man at the top is only part of a big machine. To be sure, his actions affect a much greater area than the actions and decisions of the man in the small organization, but his effectiveness is remote, indirect, and difficult to see at first sight. In a small and even in a middle-sized business you are normally exposed to all kinds of experiences, and expected to do a great many things without too much help or guidance. In the large organization you are normally taught one thing thoroughly. In the small one the danger is of becoming a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. In the large one it is of becoming the man who knows more and more about less and less.There is one other important thing to consider: do you get a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization--General Motors, the Bell Telephone System, the government? Or is it more important to you to be a well-known and important figure within your own small pond? There is a basic difference between the satisfaction that comes from being a member of a large, powerful, and generally known organization, and the one that comes from being a member of a family; between impersonal grandeur and personal —often much too personal —intimacy; between life in a small office on the top floor of a skyscraper and life in a crossroads gas station.21.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that in a large enterprise ____.A. new technology is employed quicklyB. all people work efficientlyC. one's effectiveness is felt very slowlyD. one can get promotion easily22.Generally speaking, the person working in a large enterprise ____.A. has to deal with a great many thingsB. knows how everything is going on around himC. acquires increasingly thorough knowledge within a limited fieldD. feels more secure than the one employed by a small enterprise23.In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “your own small pond”to refer to ____.A. a top leader in a larger enterpriseB. a manager of a small enterpriseC. a large enterpriseD. a small enterprise424.According to the information provided in the passage, if you are interested in personal intimacy, you should work ____.A. for General MotorsB. for the Bell Telephone SystemC. in a department in the governmentD. in a crossroads gas station25.The writer of this passage ____.A. compares the large and the small enterprises objectivelyB. obviously prefers to work for a large enterpriseC. intends to show the advantages of working in a small businessD. explains the disadvantages of being a top leader in a large businessPassage 2In the old days, when a glimpse of stockings was looked upon as something far too shocking to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant ,charged with remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to at bay; and of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again .The microchip (集成块) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much better of the routine clerical work that secretaries did.“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve only the high-powered work—and then men will want to do it again.”That was said by one of the executives(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country.What he has predicted is already under way in the U.S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine, will there be a male takeover? Men should beware of thinking that they can walk right into better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they—not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.26.Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they ______.A. were less efficient than menB. were not as serious as menC. liked stockings5D. would have disturbed other office workers27.Besides fulfilling other duties, a female secretary was expected to _____.A. be her boss's memoryB. clean her boss's clothesC. do what her boss asked her toD. telephone her boss's wife28.Secrtaries,until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by _____.A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives29.A secretary in the future will ______.A. be better paidB. have higher statusC. have less work to doD. have more work to do30.The writer believes that before long _____.A. both men and women will be qualified secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women's jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage 3Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompous frills and meaningless jargon.Who really knows what the average businessman is trying to say in the average business letter? What member of an insurance or medical plan can decipher the brochure that tells him what his costs and benefits are? What father or mother can put together a child's toy—on Christmas Eve or any other eve—from the instructions on the box? Our national tendency is to inflate and thereby sound important. The airline pilot who wakes us to announce that he is presently anticipating experiencing considerable weather wouldn't dream of saying that there's a storm ahead and it may get bumpy. The sentence is too simple—there must be something wrong with it.But the secret of good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components. Every word that serves no function, every long word that could be a short word, every adverb winch carries the same meaning that is already in the verb, every passive construction that leaves the reader unsure of who is doing what—these are the thousand and one adulterants (赘词)that weaken the strength of a sentence. And they usually occur, ironically, in proportion to education and rank.During the late 1960's the president of Princeton University wrote a letter to mollify the alumni6after a spell of campus unrest. “You are probably aware,”he began,“that we have been experiencing very considerable potentially explosive expressions of dissatisfaction on issues only partially related.”He meant that the students had been hassling them about different things. As an alumnus I was far more upset by the president's syntax than by the students' potentially explosive expression of dissatisfaction. I would have preferred the presidential approach taken by Franklin D. Roosevelt when he tried to convert into English his own government's memos, such as this blackout order of 1942:Such preparations shall be made as will completely obscure all Federal buildings and non-Federal buildings occupied by the Federal government during an air raid for any period of time from visibility by reasons of internal or external illumination.“Tell them,”Roosevelt said,“that in buildings where they have to keep the work going to put something across the windows.”31.What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the intellectual level of most Americans.B. To criticize wordy writing.C. To inform readers of the American writing style.D. To describe the best way of communication.32.The reason why the author quotes Roosevelt is to ____.A. provide evidence for the government documentB. reveal the hidden power of wordsC. give an example of the authority's role during the crisisD. show how simply the blackout order could have been stated33.According to the passage, the airline pilot avoids using the word“storm”because the word____.A. may frighten the passengersB. is ambiguousC. is too ordinary.D. sounds important34.The author gives the example of the president of Princeton in order to show that____.A. educated people usually communicate clearlyB. educated people tend to act like leadersC. simplicity is something easily forgotten by leaders or educated peopleD. simplicity is not suitable for the style of leaders or educated people35.Which of the following words is NOT negatively slanted?A. ClutterB. JargonC. DecipherD. BrochurePassage 47When I first considered becoming a college professor, tenure was not an attraction or even an issue. I was drawn to the profession by the work and the environment. Even after earning a Ph.D., spending time working in Washington D.C., and finally getting my first teaching job in public administration, I was not particularly concerned with tenure. I now work at a regional institution that requires an attainable balance between teaching, research, and service. I have always been a hard worker and see no reason to stop.But my vision of tenure has changed, I do not want to always by the same kind of professor I am now. Now, I am working on articles, course preparations, learning the details of the curriculum so I can advise students, and building institutional knowledge by serving on university committees. Today, my productivity is high and I focus on “collecting beans,”tomorrow, I would like to focus on quality.Whether tenure can give me the opportunity to focus on quality is questionable, but the idea of longevity is a concept that seems to have broad acceptance in most professions. My friends who became lawyers and accountants spend their time talking about becoming partners; medical doctors talk about establishing a practice; civil servants are protected by the merit system. The professionals in these fields serve a probationary period(试用期) and demonstrate competence to attain a certain level of freedom in their fields. After that, we expect that their professionalism can be used to serve society.Are college professors and universities different from lawyers, law firms, and the American Bar Association or doctors, practices, and the American Medical Association? The answer is both yes and no. Rarely does one hear about a professor being brought to court for malpractice. Still, the college professors I know work long hours, serve arduous, poorly-paid probationary periods, are dedicated to their students and their fields and do not want to work in another profession after they have arrived in this one. Thus tenure is often seen as the reward for years of struggle. Tenure, therefore, has become something important to me, specifically as a way to become firmly established in my profession.36.What does “tenure”probably mean in the passage?A. The reward to a lawyer or an accountant for his or her hard work.B. The right to keep one's job at a university until retirement.C. The chance of being promoted to a higher administrative position.D. The possibility of establishing one's own practice after a probationary period.37.By “I do not want to always be the same kind of professor I am now,”the author means that______.A. he is thinking of leaving his present jobB. he does not really enjoy writing articles or preparing for courses8C. he wants to do something more important and worthwhileD. he does not like the teaching environment any more38.In the second paragraph, “collecting beans”is nearest in meaning to ______.A.“making significant contributions”B.“making small achievements”C.“enjoying the rewards of hard work”D.“gaining greater professional competence”39.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The writer is not sure that tenure would let him focus on quality.B. Young lawyers look forward to sharing the ownership of the firm they work for.C. College professors have small salaries until their probationary period is over.D. College professors may consider working in some other professions if they are not properlyrewarded.40.The writer mentions lawyers and accountants in order to ______.A. explain why he chose teaching as his careerB. illustrate how other professionals view their workC. prove that professors and other professionals have the same idea about qualityD. show that college professors' expectation of job security is reasonableⅢ.SKIMMING AND SCANNINGIn this part there are 3 reading passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. Skim or scan the passages, then decide on the best answer and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points, 1 point each)Passage 1Nurse Kettle took the river path. Dusk had fallen over the valley and as she descended into it her own footfall sounded unnaturally loud on the firm turf. Thump, Thump, Thump, she went, down the hillside. Were those only her footsteps? She stopped dead, tilted her head and listened. Only occasional rural sounds disturbed the quiet of nightfall. She could actually hear the cool voice of the stream.She did not cross Harper's Bridge but followed a rough path along the right bank of the river, past a group of alders and another of willows, this second group, extending in a sickle-shaped mass from the water's edge into Harper's Meadow, rose up in the dusk. She could smell willow leaves and wet soil. As sometimes happens when we are solitary, she had the sensation of being observed but she was not a fanciful woman and soon dismissed the feeling.“It's turned much cooler,”she thought.9A cry of mourning, intolerably loud, rose from beyond the willows and hung on the night air. A brown bird whirred out of the thicket close to her face and the cry broke and moved again gently in several different directions. It was the howl of a dog. She pushed through the thicket into a clearing by the river and found the body of Colonel Carter with his dog Skip bedside him, mourning him.41.Why did Nurse Kettle suddenly stop?A. She thought she was dying.B. She wondered if she was alone.C. She wanted to hear the sound of the stream.D. She thought she heard a voice.42.Which direction did Nurse Kettle take when she reached Harper’s Bridge?A. She crossed it and continued along the right bank.B. She didn't cross it and turned away from the trees.C. She followed a path through some tress.D. She followed a path by the river bank.43.What caused Nurse Kettle to feel that she was being watched?A. The strange shape in the mist.B. The damp smell of the wet earth.C. A sense of not being alone.D. A drop in the temperature.44.Where did Nurse Kettle discover the body of Colonel Carter?A. In some thick bushes.B. In the river with his dog.C. Among the willow trees.D. In an opening beyond the bushes.Passage 2The idea of “a chain of stores,”buying directly from the manufacturer in large quantities and selling in many different places throughout the country, had its beginning with Woolworth, Kress, Kresge, and others who followed them. They were the forerunners of the large retail chain and department stores. These men had the vision to see that the more the manufacturers produced, the greater would be the saving to the consumer.Frank Woolworth was born in the town of Rodman in New York State, in the year 1855. He had a poverty-stricken childhood, which meant hardly enough to eat, one pair of boots a year, and never a warm coat for the winter. Frank did not like farming. He dreamed of being a railroad engineer. Later, he changed his ambition and wanted to become a merchant.10When Frank Woolworth was a young man, apprenticeship was still in existence, particularly in the eastern part of the United States. A boy was taken into a business to learn a trade, or to learn how to conduct the business. He was considered to be worth very little to the owner during his learning period. Sometimes, the apprentice would be given his board and a room. The businessman felt that he was doing something worthwhile for the young man he took as an apprentice. He reasoned that it was like sending the young man to a school and paying his tuition.Woolworth managed to take a short commercial course which he knew he needed to become a merchant. At first, he was given a small wage of three dollars and fifty cents a week in the firm of Moore and Smith. After a while Woolworth came to the conclusion that while he was not a good salesman, he could trim the store and dress the windows to attract customers. In time, he worked up to six dollars a week. Another merchant offered him ten dollars a week and Woolworth decided that it was enough to marry on. Unfortunately, his new employer was not interested in having his windows dressed. And after a week or two of Woolworth's poor salesmanship, he reduced his wages to eight dollars a week.With a wife to support now, Woolworth decided to try farming. He bought a farm on mortgage and he and his wife raised chickens. But in a short time farming bored him. Besides, Moorc and Smith asked him to return to his job. They found that they needed Woolworth as a window trimmer, to attract customers. When they offered him the job at ten dollars a week, Woolworth went back to working in the store.45.One thing that a store chain can do but an independent storekeeper cannot do is to ______.A. hold salesB. competeC. advertiseD. buy in large quantities46.Frank Woolworth had ability in ______.A. farmingB. salesmanshipC. dressing store windowsD. bargaining47.Woolworth's first ambition was to become ______.A. a farmerB. a railroad engineerC. a merchantD. a designerPassage 3More and more residences, businesses, and even government agencies are using telephone answering machines to take messages or give information or instructions. Sometimes these machines give confusing instructions, or play messages that are difficult to understand. If you make telephone calls, you need to be ready to respond if you get a recording.The most common machine is the type used in residences. If you call a home where there is a telephone answering machine in operation you will hear several rings and then a recorded message11that usually says something like this:“Hello. We can't come to the phone right now. If you want us to call you back, please leave your name and number after the beep.”Then you will hear a “beep,”which is a brief, high-pitched tone. After the beep, you can say who you are, whom you want to speak to, and what number the person should call to reach you, or you can leave a message. Some telephone answering machines record for only 20 or 30 seconds after the beep, so you must respond quickly.Some large businesses and government agencies are using telephone answering machines to provide information on topics about which they receive a large volume of inquires. Using these systems requires you to have a touch-tone phone(a phone with buttons rather than a rotary dial). The voice on the machine will tell you to push a certain button on your telephone if you want information on Topic A, another button for Topic B, and so on. You listen until you hear the topic you want to learn about, and then you push the appropriate button. After making your selection, you will hear a recorded message on the topic.48.In the passage, the writer elaborates on ______.A. the problems of telephone answering machinesB. the beep of the telephone answering machinesC. touch-tone phonesD. how to use telephone answering machines49.“Beep”is a brief, high-pitched tone used ______.A. to urge the caller to speak more quicklyB. to urge the caller to respond quicklyC. as a signal to remind the caller of the time leftD. as a signal to remind the caller that he may leave a message50.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. Directions of Telephone Answering MachinesB. Advantages of Telephone Answering MachinesC. Know-how of Telephone Answering MachinesD. Problems of Telephone Answering MachinesPART TWO (30 POINTS)Ⅳ.WORD FORMATIONSComplete each of the following sentences with the proper form of the word in the brackets.

The usually easy-going, good-humored husband and father of three had become an irritable man who was working his way through "a minimum six beers a night. Some nights I'd have wine as well". Any little thing that went wrong at home got under his skin. "I'd go off.My son wouldn't put his school bags away and I'd be yelling at him or I'd beyelling at the girls for something."(2)It wasn't work itself that was getting to Ron, far from it. He's always workedand doesn't like to be idle. At 16 he left school and applied for a job at anearby steelworks. He had wanted to become a carpenter but instead wasoffered an apprenticeship as a fitter and machinist- the same job that hisfather had had. "I didn't enjoy metalwork at school, but I said, 'Yeah, that'lldo.'" He shrugged off the disappointment and made the best of things,working hard during his four-year apprenticeship and for three years afterthat, until a restructure made his position redundant.(3)He bought a car with the small payout he received, gave himself sevenweeks' holiday, then started a new job as a mechanical engineer for a majorinternational airline. This involved a commute of an hour or so each wav,but that was manageable. The new role, fixing military then civilian aircraftengines, was satisfying. "It was interesting and I liked learning a new job. Itwas good."(4)Eighteen months into the new position at the airline, Ron married Sharonand 18 months after that their first child was born. He was working his wayup the ladder, getting pay-rises as he went, and the conditions suited familylife rather than the 24/7 shifts of the steelworks, he was able to work fivedays a week on day-shift.(5)As his children reached school age, Ron volunteered to help out at theirsporting activities especially at junior lifesaving, where his sense of fun andendless patience made him a firm favorite with kids and parents. He was bynow an engine marshal, an administrative role that involves supervising theacquisition of parts and the repair and assembly of huge jet engines.(6)"I loved it/' he says, explaining with a self-deprecatory chuckle that despitehaving been a fitter and engineer all those years, ”I'm not very patient whan it comes to Dutting things together. If it doesn't go right I get annoved. So it was qood Just bein~ able to chill a little bit more.”(7)Life was good, but 15 years into the job, things started to change.(8)First Ron's team was moved to a much smaller building where they werecramped amid the engine parts. Characteristically, he made the best of it,but he wasn't enjoying work as he once had. Then, without consultation,he was put back on a rolling shift roster. "I hated it because of all the thingsI was missing out on/' he says. "I was coaching my son Harry's soccer teamand was involved at the surf club, but I had to stop all that because I wasback on shift work."(9)Rumors began to circulate about redundancies. Ron told Sharon that if theywere offered he was considering applying. "She was pretty happy because Iwas coming home so cranky." Over the next few weeks they discussed thekinds of things Ron miqht move on to. One idea just wouldn't leave himalone. "I said, 'How about I go and teach swimming? I love water. I love kids.I could probably do that.'"(10)After 20 years with the airline Ron took voluntary redundancy, received afive-figure payout, and walked away without a second glance. HecomDletedswimming-teacher training, and then arranged to volunteer at a swimschool to build UD his practical experience. Soon the school was employinghim for a shift a week, and his hours built up from there.(11)Coming from a job where the results were immediate and obvious tooksome adjustment for Ron. "It was different from what I thought it wouldbe z" he says. "I thought it was going to be so easy. But you're trying toteach the kids something and half the time they're looking at you and youdon't even know ifthey're listening. Then weeks or months later they willput it into action and you'll realize that they were listening all along."Ron's easy manner with both children and parents soon paid off and hebecame a full-time employee at the swim school.(12)The 40 hours he works a week takes in weekends and split shifts, to covermorning and afternoon children's classes. He has "no body hair leftbecause of the warm water and chlorine". He earns around 25% lass thanhe did in engineering. And, at 49, he savs he has never been haDDier.(13)Tve had a drop in pay, but I've cut back on expenses, too. I'm driving halfthe distance to work so don't have to pay as much for petrol. I don't drink nearly as much. I go walking in my lunch break and I've lost 20 kilos. I love going to work. The whole family is a lot happier."(14)He admits it was scary, making such big leap when there was the mortgageto pay and teenagers to clothe and feed, but in the end he feels it is a simple choice. "If you're in a job you don't like, get out. Money's not everything.You might have to stop doing a few things, but you do adjust. If you don't like it, change find something you're going to be happy with."II. In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions, followed by four choices marked A,B, C and D.

答案2018年4月英语(二)自考试题答案及解析

2018年4月英语（二）自学考试试题答案及解析一、阅读判断(共1题，合计10分)1、A；解析:第一段第二句解释了“a Sunday feature”的内容。

译文：但在这里，随着结婚季节的临近，很多人阅读具有印度特色的周末版征婚广告栏目，年轻人在那儿寻找自己的另一半。

因此题干说法是正确的。

答案为A。

2、B；解析:利用细节信息词“Marriage advertisements”和“appearance and their skill”在文中找答案相关句：although women are still described in terms of appearance，or skill in“the wifely arts”，information about her earning power is entering more and more of the advertisements．显然答案相关句的内容与问题句内容不一致。

答案为B。

3、A；解析:这道题是主旨题。

文章第一段倒数第三句直接反映文章主题：The thousands of advertisements．．．reflect social changes that coming to this traditional society。

答案为A。

4、A；解析:答案相关旬中“marriage payment”放在括号中出现在“dowry”之后，充当其同位语结构，对其进行解释，因此“dowry”的含义就是“marriage payment(彩礼)”。

答案为A。

5、C；解析:利用细节结构“light skin”和“good feature”作为答案线索，我们知道在印度人们喜好浅亮肤色，但并没有说喜欢“美丽的容貌”，因此问题句中的部分信息没有提到。

答案为C。

6、B；解析:译文：只要刊登了征婚广告，任何人都能收到大量的回信。

根据第三段第四、五句，在大多数城市里，上层社会中许多人都会急切地读这些征婚广告。
